ASPECTS DEFINED
An aspect is a certain angular distance between two
points in zodiac. It is from one planet to another or from
a planet to certain house cusp in a chart. Certain
distances are assigned certain names like conjunction,
trine etc. In other words an aspect is a certain angle formed
between two planets as seen from the earth. These angles
formed at the earth influence the earthy matters
according to harmonious or inharmonious vibrations
amongst the bodies in aspect. Human being, the supreme
creation is greatly affected by these vibrations due to his
power to think, analyse and act some what independently.
Planets have different wave lengths depending on
their intensity of illumination and colour. These wave
lengths are planetary viberations manifesting differently
at different angles. Some are pleasing to our sensibility
and some are agitating that affect and try to arrange
chemical constituents ofthe body accordingly. Human
mind senses these bodily changes and conditions
subconsciously. These changes and conditions
18 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
ultimately affectour thought process as all this happens
at subconscious level. We sometimes feel mentally
energised and at other times depressed without realising
the cause. At the conscious level apparently there is no
reason for the condition. We are not able to explain why
sometimes we are so tricky to solve the problem in
seconds and at other times inspite of best application of
our brain we fail badly and all our efforts seem to go in
vam.
The human body is a highly sensitive instrument
very much vibrated by the solar, lunar, planetary and
zodiacal activities. The degree of development and
understanding discussed ahead determine our response
to planetary aspects for the good or bad.
Aspects are classed as harmonious and
inharmonious according to nature of actions or
responses they produce. Harmonious aspects may be
termed as pacifying, appeasing rather fortunate, where
flow of energy is smooth. Inharmonious aspects may
be interpreted as stimulating, irritating rather
unfortunate, where flow of energy is zig-zag and
obstructed.
All aspects should be studied under the perspective
of one's degree of evolution. Degree of evolution is
ascertained by the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant.
The Ascendant, its ruler and planet rising there in give
important clues regarding degree of evolution.
The sign on the Ascendant represents the physical
body which is the instrument for manifestation in this
material world. The character and temperament of the
native as well as his relations with his environment can
be assessed to fair degree from the rising sign, its ruler,
planets rising there in, aspects there to, the quality and
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 19
element of the rising sign. The sign and house occupied
by lord of the Ascendant indicate the native's tastes and
interests as well as how he is placed in every day life.
Aspects to lord of the Ascendant indicate sources of
strength and weakness in character and help and
hindrance in fortunes. The Ascendant is a lens through
which all influence must go through, if they are to
manifest i.e., harmony between the Ascendant and rest
of the horoscope is a must. This includes aspects also.
For example for a watery Ascendant preponderance of
inharmonious aspects is not an ideal combination. This
native finds himself always at war.
Most criminals have their lord of the Ascendant
badly afflicted or evil planets rising in the Ascendant. It
should be taken in a sense that one's character is badly
affected. For understanding one's character properly we
may add Mercury to the above three factors. Severe
criminals and evilly disposed persons have mostly all
the four of these factors heavily afflicted, while the
highly principled people will barely have one or two of
them heavily afflicted.
Outer life of an individual is denoted by the Sun.
With afflictions to the Sun, the native meets misfortunes
due to mistakes made according to the afflicting planet.
The Sun is the conscious action. The Sun denotes special
and outstanding events and performances. Thus any
afflictions to the Sun damages outer life badly.
The Moon represents the more inner nature, our
feelings and what we have absorbed. The Moon is
accumulative, the quality which enables the individual
to store up, digest and assimilate what the Sun has
delivered to him by his manifestation in the field of
action. Thus Moon has much to do with memory and
subconscious actions which are generated as habitual
20 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
characteristics due to great accumulation of past
experiences. It is therefore, the Moon is significator of
mother, who is first to impress upon the memory of an
infant.
The Sun and the Moon thus represent the positive
and negative poles of an individual's life and energy.
The Sun represents the prime vitalizing principle and
the Moon, the instincts coming out of subconscious habit
pattern. The Sun is the index of fortunes and
achievements of the native while the Moon represents
the moral character. The Sun afflicted by Saturn may
not influence the character but shows hard struggles
and obstacles in achieving one's goals in life. The Moon
afflicted by Saturn denotes suspicion, timidity,
apprehension, meanness, selfish and narrow attitudes
and otherwise. Thus we see the Sun and the Moon
denote the destiny and character and should be studied
carefully to estimate the degree of evolution of an
individual.
The power of self expression comes from Mercury.
A man may be wise and clever but without strong or
well aspected Mercury he is unable to communicate his
thoughts. The rationalizing factor of an individuality
emanates from strong Mercury. It is the rationalizing
Mercury who can counteract the dangerous impulsive
and instinctive tendencies of the Sun and Moon. An ill
placed or ill aspected Mercury is unable to check the
above told dangerous tendencies but adds to these his
own faults of begotry, carelessness, back-biting,
slandering, ill-temper etc. When morality, an attribute
of the afflicted Moon and Lagna factors is low, and
afflicted Mercury readily lends to such crimes as
tempering of accounts, forgery, fraudulent schemes and
deception of all sorts.
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 21
The stimulating effects of inharmonious aspects are
often seen in the birth charts of persons with high
evolution level who have achieved distinction and
touched dizzy heights in their career sheerly by
strenuous efforts. On the other hand in the birth chart
of persons with many harmonious aspects, we see no
such strenuous efforts for success. Opportunities have
come their way due to sheer luck and they got the
breaks. We can understand like this- The father of an
individual bought some land at a distant place from his
residence. Due to influx and explosion of population
city expanded rapidly and that land came under urban
land. The land which was purchased for a meagre
amount by his father fetched him crores of Rupees.
The degree of mental evolution is the barometer of
one's less or fair success with many of good aspects.
A low evolved person gets easily satisfied and contented
in this case, while a high evolved person goes on reaping
the opportunities coming his way and thus advances.
Similarly the degree of mental evolution is also the
barometer of success or failure for one with many
inharmonious aspects. One may succeed with strenuous
efforts building his way through the obstacles. A low
evolved person is lost in the middle or resorts to
unlawful means to be successful but fails.
There can be different situations of the same aspect,
a man brooding over his condition, or one lying in the
hospital; a young one off on his vacation; a man in charge
of a progressing business and a woman merrily busy
with her children.
An astrologer is expected to give judgement only
after getting familiar with the client's station in life, his
condition and activities in order that he may be able to
22 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
properly anticipate the client's response to the
viberations of an aspect.
An aspect should be assessed on the following points:
1. The quality of aspect (good or adverse).
2. If the aspecting planet is angular, succedent or
cadet.
3. If the aspecting planet is in a cardinal, fixed or
common sign.
4. If the aspecting planet is in a fruitful or barren
sign.
5. Ifthe aspecting planet is benefic or malefic.
6. If the aspecting planet is a functional benefic or
malefic.
7. If the aspecting planet is also aspected.
8. Shadabala strength of the aspecting planet.
9. If the aspecting planet is exalted, debilitated etc.
10. If the aspecting planet is retrograde.
11. If the aspect is applying or separating.
12. The house owned by the aspecting planet.
13. The house occupied by the aspecting planet.
These points should also be judged for the aspected
planet too. ·
When a benefic planet is found to be retrograde, his
power to do good is weakened. When a malefic planet
is found to be retrograde his maleficence is magnified.
It is significantly important to know whether the
aspect is applying or seperating. The influence of an
aspect that is forming is naturally powerful than that of
a separating one. In an applying aspect as the aspecting
planet draws near the culminating degree, the aspect
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 23
becomes stronger and stronger. After the culmination
aspect grows weaker and its power wanes gradually.
In. Vedic Astrology there are no orbs of influence.
The aspect is from sign to sign, however planetary
degrees are of vital importance to assess the strength of
aspect. It is upto the experience of an Astrologer either
to follow theory of orbs or count the aspect from sign to
sign. But as far as our experience goes, we have felt the
vibrations of aspects formed through the signs; though
dilute it is due to planets being far apart from the
exactness of the aspect. Perhaps it is due to the factthat
occupation of a sign by a planet vibrates the whole sign
and the centre of vibration is planet's position in that sign.

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF THE SUN
The Sun is dry, hot, masculine and life giving force.
In principle he has much to do with the health, vitality
and exposition to the world. An individual's progress
and social success is very much dominated by the Sun.
Generally he has dominion over the positions of rank,
high office and title. The Sun urges an individual to
manifest outward and forward with abundance of
physical energy. Power and leadership, command and
control are the virtues of a strong and well placed Sun
along with self reliance, dignity and strength of
character.
A well placed but afflicted Sun tends to either
excesses or imbalances of the above stated virtues. The
native tends to promise much; but performs a little along
with a boasting disposition. Afflictions to the Sun
sprinkle out as inner selfishness and sensuality.
All aspects to the Sun affect the individuality rather
selfhood, the use of will power and the way of its use.
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 37
Even in otherwise best of the horoscope, if the Sun is
badly placed or evilly aspected, the native is not likely
to advance in life. The native is not best adapt to make
use of opportunities coming his way for want of basic
energy and courage.
Sun conjunct Moon- This is not a favourable
position except for highly evolved persons. There is
identification of the conscious and sub-conscious, will
and feelings. The native is emotionally so much
impulsive that he concentrates all his forces on one area
of expression. The native tends to be erratic because
there is tendency to alternate between the masculine and
feminine traits. The native is very much involved with
his pome and children as far as his/her creative side of
expression is concerned. There is excess of bile
interfering with the assimilation process of the body.
Due to great activity and enthusiasm the native drains
away his vitality and energy, if the conjunction is
stressed one.
According to classical authors the native is a well
versed mechanic or a dealer in stone crafts. He may be
a physician well versed in the preparation of drugs by
fermentation process. He will be devoted to his spouse.
The Sun and Moon in the Lagna keep the native
scarce oflove, affection and grooming from his parents.
He _commands respect and because of his generosity
unable to amass wealth. Due to inner turmoil he does
not feel happy.
When the Sun and Moon are in the 4th house, the
native is devoid of respect from so_ns and relations for
his poverty and lack of intelligence.
The two luminaries in the 7th house keep the native
scarce of the love of opposite sex friends and partners.
38 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
The two luminaries in the lOth house make a native
hard hearted and uneven tempered. He is famous for
his leadership qualities. He is strong and magnanimous
and suppresses his enemies.
According to Hora Sara a classic, the two luminaries
in the 9th house make a native rich; in the 12th the native
suffers of eye-sight.
Sun conjunct Mars- This conjunction represents
strength, courage and masculinity. The houses owned
and occupied by the Sun and Mars represent the areas
of activity. There is clash between the will and desire.
This clash produces power of attainment, the desire to
be in the lime light and the ability to make decisions
quickly. The native tends to take sides and partisan
nature is evident in him. Due to over abundant vitality,
passion and anger, feverish conditions of blood
predominate resulting in impulsiveness and excess of
feelings. The dominating and ruling element is prominent
which gives force of character and power to command
and control others, if the native is enough evolved.
The cellular activity in the muscles is greater with
enough rush of blood even to the extremities of the body.
Due to great sperm mobility, the native has good
reproductive ability. The negative sides of this aspect
are frequent cuts, bruises and inflammatory conditions
ofthe body tissues.
According to classical authors, the native will be
unhappy in regard to his father. He is wicked, sinful
and cruel in his deeds. He is mean and untruthful. He
has strength and stamina and wanders from place to
place. He is partial and indiscriminate.
This conjunction in the Lagna makes the native
prone to bilious ailments, stomachial disorders, blood
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 39
pressure etc. The native fights the duel bravely and is
cruel and hard hearted. Cuts, wounds, various poxes
and fractures are common to him. This conjunction is
good for prosperity for Aries, Cancer, Leo and Scorpio
Lagnas.
If the conjunction occurs in the 4th house, the native
is deprived of relatives, peace of mind and wealth. He
is blamed. This conjunction produces Rajayoga if the
Lagna is Leo, for then it is conjunction of the Lagna, 4th
and 9th house lords.
If the conjunction occurs in the 7th house, the native
is bereaved of separation from wife, disrespected by
women, interested in other's wives and is intent on
living in foreign countries.
The conjunction in the 10h house makes the native
much devastated, successful and liked by the king.
According to Jataka Parijata the native suffers of
unfruitful undertakings, serves under tlie king, remains
over worried.
According to Hora Sara the conjunction in the Lagna
8th, lOth or 11th causes one's birth in a great family
and bestows great strength, whereas in other houses
gives no wealth.
The native of the chart (page 41) was born in a rich
family. The Sun and Mars are in the 8th house. The man
is an I.I.Tian structural engineer, lived in England for
25 years. Now he is having professional problems and
inharmony with wife in Sun's Dasa. See Saturn (R) in
Leo aspecting the Sun and Mars, the great Yogakarkas
for Cancer Lagna. The impediments and anguish to him
are through his wife (Saturn is the 7th house lord). The
situation became worst practically when the wife
departed to her parental home. The man instrumental
40 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
in causing the rift was their servant. Saturn represents
low caste people. The native is under the transit of
Dhaiya of Saturn.

The Sun conjunct Mercury in the 9th house under the
aspect of Jupiter helped him to achieve higher education.
According to classical authors the native
intelligently executes his plans and thus earns name,
fame and happiness. There is fixity of purpose and good
analytical frame of mind. The native is in the good books
of his superiors for having good sub-ordinate qualities.
According to Hora Sara, if the Sun and Mercury are
together in the 4th or 8th house from the Lagna, the
person is equal to a king in qualities and wealth. This
conjunction in other houses makes one virtuous.
According to Jataka Parijata, the native becomes a
king and over powers his enemies. He becomes famous.
His mother is of questionable characters.
42 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
According to Garga Hora, iflhe conjunction occurs
in the 1st house, the native is wicked, ill reputed,
without conveyances, commits sinful acts and forsaken
by friends and relatives. In our view this is possible only
if the two planets are in an evil sign under the aspect of
evil planets, otherwise the native is intelligent, eloquent,
well read, long lived and has a sound physique.
If the conjunction occurs in the 4th house in a good
sign under good aspects, the native is well built, learned,
wealthy and holds a good position and mansion.
If the conjunction occurs in the 7th house in a good
sign and under good aspects, the wife of the native is a
dominating and progressive influence in his life,
otherwise the native has an insincere wife and marital
unhappiness. He is of thievish and untruthful
disposition. He may be a eunuch without sexual
happiness and may meet an unnatural end of life.
If the conjunction occurs in the lOth house, the native
enjoys lordly status; is intelligent, famous, truthful,
grateful and makes good use of his education.
If this conjunction occurs in Pisces, the debilitation
'·sign of Mercury, the native should be given careful and
gentle training. This conjunction in Scorpio can make
one excellent physician or surgeon while in a chart of
low evolution level it shows a senseless rogue.
Sun conjunct Jupiter-Prosperity, joy, recognition,
health, creativity, optimism and ability for record
achievements are the key notes of this conjunction.
Jupiterian expansion and the Solar power and will
are in action under this conjunction. Due to Solar
viberations the individualistic side of nature is activated
while due to Jupiterian viberations noblest side of one's
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 43
being are activated as a result an urge for creative social
endeavour is generated in better evolved individuals.
The generous, optimistic disposition and pleasing
personality attracts good luck. The positive out look
makes the native to extract best out of the opportunities
coming his way. Jupiter rules the 9th sign of zodiac that
represents religion, philosophy, philanthropy and
concern for the all and endowed with these virtues plus
enthusiasm of the Sun, the native is able to gain favour
of others. In other words the native gains power by
exploiting commonly held ideas and beliefs. Thus the
native achieves his goals and ambitions by exploiting
and utilizing the social aspirations of others. A crookedly
evolved native is pretentious in this respect.
Under this conjunction the tissue element of the
organs rather of the glands function very well and there
is balance amongst the functioning of various glands,
which denotes sound health and good regenerative
function of blood. There is good recuperative power
after an illness.

young man doing business along with his father. The

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF THE MOON
The Moon is cold, moist, feminine, negative,
receptive, reflective, magnetic, fruitful, plastic and
changeable. She has definite link with pursuits and
occupations related with water and liquids e.g., sailors,
fishermen, liquor dealers, brewers, travellers, ship
owners, nurses, midwives, female servants and female
relatives, especially mother.
She has strong link with stomach, digestion,
absorption, assimilation, nutrition, secretions of glands,
the womb, feminine functions, child bearing, lymph, fat
and breasts.
Aspects of the Moon indicate habit pattern,
automatic responses, subconscious mind and
consciousness which is related to out side influences.
Aspects of -the Moon also deal with part of memory
related to emotional experiences and ability to absorb
information for future use i.e., ability to memorise.
)
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 59
In a male horoscope aspects of the Moon are
indicative of native's reactions towards females and
have roots in early childhood. In a female horoscope
aspects of the Moon tell about her female biological
functions, her reactions as a female and mother.
The natal Moon sandwiched between two malefics
indicates a chain of unhappy events one after the other.
The Moon in the bright half of the natal chart
operates more openly in formulating change
particularly when in an angular house.
Moon Conjunct Mars- Will power, strong inner
tensions, fighting spirit, premature action, excitement
and intense emotions are the key notes of this
conjunction.
This aspect indicates impulsive acts and opposition
of all control and authority. On the negative side it is
very unfortunate and rebellious aspect resulting in out
bursts of anger and other emotional out breaks. The
native sees life through red glasses and has such strong
biases that he becomes very intolerant, hasty and rash
and thus invites troubles for himself through his strong
feelings and emotions. Further afflictions to the
conjunction enhance jealousy, anger and frustration
leading him to disastrous acts. Good aspects to the
conjunction temper down the feelings and emotions,
and denote that energy of the conjunction can be used
in a better way.
A prominent Mercury is required to guard the
speech and apply discrimination along with a strong
Saturn to enforce discipline and practicality over
the emotions and impulses. Thus the native can tap
the energies of this conjunction for more judicious and
auspicious results.
60 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
According to classical authors, the native with the
Moon conjunct Mars is valorous, brave in war, a boxer,
likely to suffer blood in balances, manufactures
articles of mud, skin and minerals, is an artisan or
metallurgist.
In our view this conjunction indicates unhappy
relations with mother and sickness to her. The native
suffers from bilious affections of blood. He is fond of
body building and vigorous sports. This is a favourable
conjunction for pottermen, skin dealers, leather dealers
and business in minerals etc. The native is though bereft
of conduct but has good material status.
If the Moon conjuncts Mars in the 1st house, the
native is fair in complexion and magnanimous. He is
impulsive in spending. Therefore possesses less riches.
He is voluptuous, licentious and desirous. He is
talkative, has a swift gait; suffers of accidents with an
injury to head particularly from fire if the conjunction
occurs in fiery signs.
If the Moon conjuncts Mars in the 4th house, the
native is restless, inimical to mother, without cordiality,
licentious, inimical to masses, ignored and annihilated
by gentlemen and forsaken by his own progeny.
If the conjunction occurs in the 7th house, the native
suffers from stomach complaints; is very impulsive,
bereft of knowledge of scriptures, suffers due to
company of unwanted folk. He is untruthful and
molester of tender women.
If the conjunction occurs in the lOth house, the native
is honoured by the king, conquers his enemies, has
many assignments, earns by lending money, is rich and
God fearing.

According to Hora Sara, a great classic-
{cRli:~ffi ~ ~ CIT tltf'J:iiMI~CITI
~ ~fdu~s'i&d 1 ¢'ti ct";{tt&if\'1:11
Should Mars and the Moon be together in the lOth,
9th, 5th or 11th, one will become wealthy and be equal
to a king. In other houses, one is deprived of his relatives
and happiness as well.
Example-Here under is the chart of a girl who
sometimes tends to be very argumentative but other
~~~ Sat19°
behind his every move and action. Rahu has joined the
conjunction making him selfish. Since the conjunction
66 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
of the Moon and Jupiter occurs in a watery sign Cancer,
the native is emotionally much involved in family, home,
friends and their security. Rahu conjunct Moon makes
the native very apprehensive. The Moon conjunct Pluto
denotes extreme expression of feelings and emotions.
The extreme optimism due to Gajakesari Yoga has
brought about many better changes in his life.
Moon Conjunct Venus - Intense emotionalism,
joyous living, desire for tenderness, artistic appreciation,
feeling of love, and devotion are the key notes of this
conjunction.
The native is emotionally bound to beauty and
harmony and as such has an artistic ability. He is a
pleasing and loving personality. Women display talent
in selection of clothing, cooking and decorating homes.
They also show emotional response to other women.
The native can have an access to romance and
courtships due to his affectionate disposition. He proves
to be good diplomat and emissary because of tact,
sensitivity and ability to win others by showering
affections. To have a purposeful element of diplomacy
a fair amount of Mercurian and Saturnian influence is
required so that the aim of diplomacy does not get

lady. The boy is such a fool that he passes to his mother
all the conversation he had with his wife. The boy lacks

aspects the Lagna lord Mercury. He is a victim of mother
complex as the Lagna lord is in the 4th house in own

causes of generosity and religion.
According to Vedic Astrology Rahu in a hard
constellation in conjunction with the Moon creates
certain phobias and schizophrenic conditions. In fact
Rahu-Moon conjunction without good aspects gives rise
to all sorts of mental disorders be it either blurred
intuition or mental malady.
Rahu tends to produce leucoderma when conjunct
with the Moon.
IfRahu is with the Moon in the 3rd house, the mother
dies early and the native usually remains uneasy mentally.
Example- In the horoscope discussed under "Moon
conjunct Jupiter", the native remains uneasy and lost his
mother in early childhood. As Jupiter has joined the
conjunction the native displays much mental control and
behaves as a shrewd, careful and business like person.
Rahu's conjunction with the Moon in a soft
constellation is good for intuition; but if Mars or Saturn
joins or aspects the results are very bad for mental
health. The native may suffer from hysteria, swellings
and epilepsy.
As the Vedic Astrology is result oriented, the
conjunction of Rahu with the The Moon makes the
native hyper sensitive in respect of material progress
and if he is of weak mentality as indicated by other
factors, phobias and mental aberrations become evident
due to mental exhaustion and lack of spiritual content
in the nativity.
Actually the conjunction of Rahu with the Moon
produces a deep distrust for every body. A paranoid

others and to nurse grudges against them. The aspect
of Jupiter tones down this tendency and the native
displays much mental control and behaves as a shrewd,
careful and business like person.
According to Vedic Astrology Rahu represents baser
values of avarice, hate, greed, jealousy and treachery.
All these are functioning at the mental level though not
openly when Rahu is in conjunction to the Moon.
Actually all these have manifestation in the material
progress of a native.
Moon Conjunct Ketu- Isolation, disinclination to
rise to the occasion are the key notes of this conjunction.
It is hard for the native to keep up with the modern
trends and he finds it hard to be in right time to make

emotionally. He is disinclined to take cooperation of
others for his certain biases. The tendency to isolation
leads to depression and tendency to emotional solitude
further deteriorates his condition.

capable of disciplined approach towards the
circumstances. He is capable of determination to fight
out the problems.
The digestive process of these individuals is on the

emotional behaviour. The native tends to be erratic,
irritable, cranky and unreliable.

Satumian planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, therefore
it is not possible to give comparative review of aspects
of these planets.

a love of solitude for being unsatisfied and
misunderstood and psychic inclinations are the key
notes of this conjunction.

Due to his energy he is fond of all fair games, travel,
exploration, professional, mechanical or industrial
activities. He is an impartial judge and industrious. He
is fortunate for the significations of the sign occupied
by his friend Jupiter.
Aspects of Mars act through his sign and house
position, the houses ruled by him, the house of his
exaltation sign and planets conjunct and aspecting him.
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 77
Under stress aspects to Mars, the native acts in an
indiscriminative and rash manner. Afflictions to Mars
signify out bursts of anger, ill temper and violence. Good
aspects from Mercury give him insight, from Saturn
discipline and from Jupiter wisdom.

the areas of their manifestation. In a male chart Mars
tells about the manner by which he wants to attract
women while in a female chart the type of man she
wants to attract.
Mars Conjunct Mercury- Rashness and premature
action, quick reply, power of thought, love of argument
and obstinacy are the key notes of this conjunction.

investigators an~ press reporters. In some cases,
however, the native has partisan attitudes and a
tendency to take sides particularly if the conjunction
occurs in earthy or watery signs.
The native can speak fluently in a debate on
controversial issues. Due to envious nature of Mars the

Mercury, the native will have unlucky wife, little wealth,
will produce articles of gold and steel, be an architect, a
master carpenter, will keep a wicked widow, be a boxer
or wrestler and be an expert in making medicines.
Example- In the chart discussed under "The Sun
in Inharmonious Aspect to Jupiter", Mars and Mercury
are conjunct in the 2nd house. The lady is argumentative,
untruthful, has partisan attitudes and tendency to take
sides. Her homely environment does not remain
peaceful for many days as the conjunction occurs in

always intends to get benefitted monetarily from
relatives.

chief. The native can be a good geologist, a pleader, an
investigator or a press reporter. He is lover of truth,
possesses various merits and is knowledgeable in
scriptures.

to be ahead of others in the task at hand. If he is a student
he can fare well at competitive exam. If he is an officer

sometimes called fanatic for his zeal to accomplish
tasks. If he is a businessman then enterprise and
financial gains are important to him. All his tasks are

result oriented. Military or police career is most
appropriate for this native.
In some natives there is tendency to over generosity,
misplaced sympathies, extravagance and waste. They
tend to lose discipline and under impulsive spending
expenditure tends to exceed receipts. This is one of the
draw back of this conjunction.
If the conjunction is afflicted then Jupiter gets robbed
of some of his virtues to Mars; might is right attitude
predominates and the native wants to earn money at
any cost. The native resorts to show of strength and
pomp and show.

If Mars and Jupiter be in one and the same house,
the native will be longlived, will be blessed with many
sons and will always be respectful. If these two planets
happen to be in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the person
remains addicted to vices, will be sick and bed ridden
due to some malady and will be devoid of much wealth
i.e., he owns little wealth.
Mars Conjunct Venus-Impulse to love, a strong
sensual nature, sensitiveness, excitability, lack of
tenderness and tact are the key-notes of this conjunction.
This is a creative aspect largely depending upon the
rest of the horoscope in which way it will manifest,
through social or artistic activities or sexual infatuations.
This conjunction vitalises the emotional nature of
Venus through the desirous energy of Mars, thus
imbibing the native with emotional warmth and love
of life. The only precaution, the native requires is that
he should never be rash and impetuous in his affections
and should refrain from reflecting these too early either
through his speech or actions in dealing with opposite
sex or in general. This precaution is necessary because
there is danger of affectionatenature of Venus rendering
into physical gratification in most of the charts where
masculine planets are strong. If feminine planets are
82 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
strong this aspect has lesser tendency for manifestation
as physical one; but manifests through courtesy and
creative arts or through the works of social betterment.
The basic urge of the conjunction is impulsiveness
therefore a precaution is required in spending money
for impulsive purchasing etc. A better management of
cash reserves is required in this case.

If the conjunction occurs in the 7th house, the native
is a social magnate. He is unable to accumulate wealth
and roams around damsels and is unjustly disposed on
that account. He acquires blood oozing diseases around
his sexual parts. He may lose his social acceptance due
to some sex scandal and may be annihilated.

lOth house, the native lives a luxurious life and is a
socially accepted personality. He enjoys rich food and
drinks. He is ready to serve and renovate grand shrines.

conjunction occurs in the sign of Venus, therefore Venus
gives her sense of courtesy and creativity. Her 7th lord
goes to the lOth house, therefore life partner should be
from her professional area. As Mars -Venus conjunction
occurs in the 9th house, the would be husband will be
an N.R.I. who should be financially well to do.
Mars Conjunct Saturn-Harmful and destructive
energy, inhibited vitality and tendency to get hurt or
injured are the key notes of this conjunction.
In this conjunction the energy of Mars is restrained
by inhibitions of Saturn which result in anger, hard
84 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
feelings and ill-will. Initially the native controls his
anger due to the discipline of Saturn, then suddenly
it erupts breaking all bounds resulting in resentment
and violence.
This aspect itself needs to be well aspected. In
horoscopes that are well evolved this aspect denotes
capacity for hard work, endurance, resourcefulness and
balance of mind in tough situations. The courage of Mars
and prudence and caution of Saturn make these natives
fit for military career and other daring professions.
Under afflictions to this conjunction, the native tends
to be oppressive and dictatorial and his obstinacy can
result in his own organised and deliberate destruction.
Inflammation of various body parts, blood disorders
and fracture of bones are common complaints. In
extreme cases there is display of muscle power and
antisocial attitudes.

and remains always unhappy.
If the conjunction occurs in the 1st house, the native
becomes interested in sinful acts, speaks rudely, acts
against the social order, is of angry disposition, defies
others and accompanies antisocial elements.
Note-In our view sign disposition and lordship
plays an important role in deciding the results of various
conjunctions. The results decribed in classical texts seem
to have been framed according to natural significations
of planets only. The auspicious rulership of planets
mould these results to a considerable extent.
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 85

suffers from innumerable miseries and is abandoned
by his relations and friends. He spends his wealth
undesirably. He is devoid of affection and warmth in
relationship. He loses some of the progeny and is
inimical towards the surviving. He is totally immersed
in wine, women and undesirable pleasures.
If the two planets conjunct in the 7th house, the
native suffers from various diseases and is of emaciated
body. He is wicked and has a shattered married life. He
is proudy and engaged in back-biting.
Note- According to Ph ala Deepika, a classic, Mars
and Saturn in Cancer in the 7th house endow the native

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF lVIERCURY
Mercury is active, changeable and sexless planet. He
furnishes the mental force necessary to a great extent
towards sanity and survival on this planet earth.
Mercury corresponds to mind's action, resulting in
perception, thought and mental power or intelligence
to analyse conditions and develop adaptability to
environment; also to arrange details to suit personal
needs and requirements. Through the nerves he
influences the part of the body denoted by the sign he
occupies. He relates to the tongue and hands as agent
for the expression of mind.
If Mercury rises ahead of the Sun, logic and reason
guide the native in life. If he rises after the Sun, the
decisions made are impulsive in nature.
Mercury in fire and air signs has more healing or
curative powers by directing the mind exclusively
towards the trouble or place of illness. Mercury in
Gemini has healing powers in his hands and speech.
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 91
The native with Mercury retrograde is very shy. It is
not that he is afraid; but it is simply the shyness which
vanishes after a formal acquaintance.
The Aspects of Mercury are modified by his sign
and house position, the houses he rules, the house of
his exaltation sign and these are the keys to interpret
how the native thinks, the type of mind he has. The
native's way of thinking and mental likes and dislikes
are determined by the prominent aspects made to
Mercury. Mercury himself is a neutral planet, it is
coloured mostly by the planet in close aspect to it as
far as perception, mental communication, reasoning
and memory are concerned.
As already told in earlier chapters that Mercury is
one of the factor that indicates evolution level of an
individual. Therefore a well placed and aspected
Mercury is a necessity to achieve position and status in
life. It is the coordinator or lens through which all the
planetary influences are filtered.

conjunction.
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 105
The two planets involved in the conjunction are of
contrary characteristics. Jupiter represents expansion
and optimism while Saturn represents obstruction and
disappointment. The powerful of the two will dominate
a little.
The native often finds problems in money matters
and his progress and expansion is delayed or
obstructed on this account. The industry, patience and
endurance are a must to overcome the bad effects of
this aspect. If the horoscope is strong otherwise, the
native achieves something of lasting value using his
practicality, common sense and conservative
approach. He is serious about various aspects of life
and is responsibility bound in this respect. In factthe
progress and advancement of this native depends
largely on the general conditioning of his
environment, the political, economic and social set
up around him.
In this conjunction, Saturn ahead of Jupiter is
fav.ourable than Jupiter ahead of Saturn because in later
case any work started at a high note will soon find a
dissolution for Saturn being behind manifesting his
effects later on.
The knowledge oflaw and general awareness of this
native is far better than the normal man; but luck factor
is not as much with him.
According to classical authors, the native having
conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at birth is heroic,
has plenty of wealth, is famous, becomes mayor of
the city or the head of assembly or the headman of.
village or an association. He may excel in other
honourable professions like a physician, a lawyer etc.
If the horoscope has less potential, he can be a dealer
106 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
in grains, food products or may have an oil industry.
Further lower professions are like craftsman, barber,
utensil maker etc.
If Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in the 1st house, the native
is lazy, does not honour the courtesy shown towards
him, is inept in getting his work done, has knowledge
of polity, faces many difficulties and does not respect
moral values.
If Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in the 4th house, the
native has loving friends and relatives. He is of sound
health. He attains a fair amount of property and slowly
and steadily builds up the foundation ofhis family tree.
In poor horoscopes, the native may be a cook, a porter
or an artisan.

is unattractive in appearance, dull headed and may
depend on women's money. He is unwise, untruthful
and does sinful deeds.

Should Jupiter and Saturn be in houses other than

Planetary Aspects in Astrology 107
Example- The chart here under is of a native who
had a lot of ancestral property. From the very boyhood
he got indulged in lax habits i.e., wine, women and
speculations. He did not get into any profession. He

gradually started disposing the ancestral property. He
is very miser in financial matters and lives like a parasite
who grows on other's resources. The position of Venus
and Mercury in watery sign Scorpio and the Moon
conjunct Neptune in the 8th house put him into vices
and speculations. The conjunction of Saturn-Jupiter
gradually depleted his ancestral property.
Jupiter Conjunct Rahu -Good fellowship,
sociableness, good connections and a tendency to seek
own interests in every dealing are the key-notes of this
conjunction.
Rahu being the node denoting opportunism, in
conjunction with the planet of wealth Jupiter, creates an
opportunistic person. The native has ability to harmonize
with the prevalent domestic, social or business trends,
to pick up what is useful for him and thus satisfies his
material ambitions. He is so selective that he even visits
a temple only if it is something worthy for him.
There is also a tendency to misappropriate the things
or to temper the accounts for his own benefit. This may
108 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
cause him troubles in future if his chart has combinations
for penalisation. In domestic circle he shows a tendency to
take things easily and too much for granted.
According to classical authors Jupiter conjunct
Rahu, makes the native to deride and mock at religion
and higher values of life; but if a benefic planet aspects
or joins the conjunction he loves and respects the learned
persons. It is called Guru-Chandala Yoga.
If Jupiter conjuncts Rahu in the 1st house in a benefic
sign, the native progresses by leaps and bounds and
attains respect and honour.
If the conjunction occurs in the 4th house under
benefic aspects or conjunctions, the native becomes
religious and God fearing. He has many mansions and
wealth. He is proficient in law and attains a high
position.
If the conjunction occurs in the 7th house, the native
has art of gaining through partnerships if Jupiter is not
debilitated. He has relations with many women.
If Jupiter conjuncts Rahu in the lOth house, the native
is a luminary in his profession and is respected by all.
Jupiter Conjunct Ketu- Disagreement with
prevailing trends, love of adventure and no happiness
from children are the key notes of this conjunction .
•
The native is not an opportunist rather he criticises
such tendencies. He is not in tune with the prevailing
social, domestic and political trends. He has the ability
for critical analysis of the accepted values. He is not in
the habit of doing the right thing at the proper time,
which is the cause of his failures in undertakings.
Jupiter stands for religion, religious institutions and
higher education. The native is antagonist to all these.
He is rather interested in more subtle form of religion.
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 109
In foreign trade he is unsuccessful, particularly in
exports, however, he can have some gains from imports
if the chart shows any such propensity. The native does
not attain happiness from children.
According to classical authors, Jupiter conjunct Ketu
destroys the fruits of the house in which it occurs,
although, it is somehow conducive for native's rise and
professional and social honour if occurs in the lOth house.
As an example let us study the following chart of a
small scale industrialist. The native has four children;
but he has no happiness from either of them. He spent
a lot on his son's education. The elder son is of 36 years,
a computer engineer; but still unsettled. The younger
son a chartered accountant now in U.S.A. is working

on a meagre salary. The native himself tried to start an
export business; but without any response. The native
himself is simply a non matric fellow. Jupiter-Ketu
conjunction is showing its influence in regard to children.
Jupiter Conjunct Uranus- Inclination for original
and genuine thoughts in religion, application of new
methods for financial gains, and urge for independence
are the key notes of this conjunction.
The native employs new methods and technology
for expansion and professional attainment. He may
11 0 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
receive help for the same from group associates; friends
and unexpected sources. He has frequent travels in this
regard and keeps himself well educated and trained to
grab the opportunities for his growth and progress.
The native also helps his friends and associates in
achieving their ambition. Tradition does not appeal to
him, be it religion, profession, education or politics. He
is an advocate of new philosophy and new methods of
doing things regarding all aspect of life. In religion he
would like to be attached to philosophy which is near
to the original and genuine thought. He may practise
yoga and may be a devote of Arya Samaja or Acharya
Rajnish's philosophy. In Astrology or Palmistry or other
occult sciences he is attached to what is more original
and appeals to the reason.
Jupiter Conjuct Neptune- Fertile imagination, love
of humanity idealism, mysticism and love of art are the
key notes of this conjunction.
The native possesses fertile imagination regarding
religion and philosophy. He is apt to have visions of
religious gods, astral entities and finds excessive joy
in such things. Mystic phenomena and psychic form
of religion is prominent with him. Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu and Meera Bai were the exponents of
psychic form of religion. The native is fanatic about
idealism and unable to s.ave his interests just for
idealism. He can be a helping hand to a less fortunate
person out of the way i.e., he can help the needy
cutting short his own needs. This conjunction can be
of better use only in a practical horoscope.
Under afflictions to this conjunction, the native can
have the habit of making false promises while in reality
he cannot deliver what he promises. He remains in his
own world of unrealistic fantasy.

Example-Here under is the chart of a doctor now
settled in Canada. He is a follower of Aacharya Rajnish's

Venus is feminine in nature. She rules the sense of touch
and disposition. She signifies the higher attributes of the
mind, music, singing, poetry, painting, drama and all
refined amusements and adornments. She is beneficial
and fruitful and expresses through the character of an
individual by generosity, good humour and love. Men and
women ruled by Venus are kind and sociable.
When well aspected in the horoscope, she endows
the native with a pleasant countenance, symmetrical
form and graceful manners. She has the ability to
convert anger into pleasures and is the natural peace
maker. Venus ruled people are excellent hosts.
When adversely aspected in the horoscope, the real
and finer attributes of Venus are submerged, only the
emotional side dominates the individual which may be
detrimental to other's interests.
When Venus is afflicted in the horoscope, she
produces unsatisfactory domestic conditions, anxiety in
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 113
love, difficulties with friends and through finances. She
rules the skin, throat, reins, ovaries and internal
generative organs and under afflictions to Venus these
are adversely affected by over indulgence in
amusement, eating and drinking.
The sign and house position of Venus along with
her aspects indicates how the native will express love
from person to person basis; his aesthetic and artistic
tendencies and desire for companionship. It also
indicates the areas where social, romantic and sexual
urges are expressed.
In a male horoscope, Venus and factors affecting her
indicate the kind of woman native likes to attract and
in a female horoscope what a woman will do for her
man.

suffering through love and sense of duty, dominating
inclinations of heart are the key notes of this conjunction.

partnership and makes loyal friends. He is a better
server to his master than any other. He also has desire

prime consideration than harmony in relationship
and there is tendency to gratify emotions by using
others. The negative aspect of this conjunction is
feeling of being unloved and unappreciated and
mental depression due to sensitivity.
According to classical authors, if the two planets
are strong by the sign position the native is a sculptor, a
painter or a boxer. If the two are weak by the sign
position, the native is engaged in lower professions like
a carpenter or a barber etc. He owns quadrupeds and is
intent on wandering.
If Venus conjuncts Saturn in the 1st house, the native
is devoid of health and intelligence, does not
acknowledge favour granted to him, engages with

of furious disposition.
The results are likely to get amended by favourable
sign position of Venus and Saturn.

deeds and is not amicable to his friends. He is fond of
delicious dishes. Although he is fair in disposition; but

PLANETARY CONJNCTIONS
OF SATURN
Saturn is cold, dry, phlegmatic and windy,
melancholic, earthy and masculine by nature. Sexually
he is l;lermaphrodite. He rules over teeth, bones, spleen,
knees and the sense of hearing.
Saturn's influence is heavy, binding and lasting in
effect. His influence is much maligned so he is called
evil. Saturn has deterrent effect bringing denial and
necessity into some lives. Saturn does not like pride and
brings down it to his knees. He humbles the nature of
pride by imposing restrictions, limitations and
adversities and compels the native to ponder, study and
introspect the cause of woe. Saturn teaches the lesson
of prudence and introspection and is a great reformer.
Saturn well placed and aspected in a horoscope
makes the native serious, practical, economical, prudent,
conservative, executive and a good manager.
Saturn evilly placed or aspected in a chart seems to
produce a chain of adversities, delays, restrictions,
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 121
disappointments and sorrows which lead to misery,
poverty and illness.
Aspects of well developed Saturn indicate self
discipline to the native in building his life. Placement
of Saturn and his aspects to other planets indicate where
the native is forced to fulfil himself and make-up his
deficiencies. Afflictions of Saturn manifest through
selfishness and rigid attitudes; block capacity of social
interaction and progress which ultimately result in
limitations and misfortunes in endeavours.
Saturn Conjunct Rahu- Isolation, depression
caused by non cooperation of others, inhibition in
contact with others are the key notes of this
conjunction.
The native is conservative and it is hard for him to
accept t}ul modern ideas, trends and cultural values. He
tends to lag behind in the race and blames this to non
cooperation of others. The feeling of isolation and non-
importance in him causes mental depression. Due to
inhibitions in endeavours, the native needs a lot of
patience to get his work done and ambitions realised.
According to classical authors, if the conjunction
occurs in the 9th house, there will be displeasure from
rulers, parents and degradation from high position.
If the' conjunction occurs in the 1st house, the native
remains ill in childhood and is accident prone.
Iftheeonjunction occurs in the 8th house, the native
suffers from digestive troubles.
If the conjunction occurs in a malefic house, the
native is predisposed to criminal instincts.
If Saturn happens to be in the constellation ofRahu
in the 8th house, the native is in danger of paralysis.
122 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
Saturn Conjunct K_etu-Rigid habits, limiting
attitude, strong concentration and meditation powers
are the key notes of this conjunction.
The.native loves solitude and deep thinking. He has
the ability to concentrate on matters untouched so far.
He loves meditation and may be a good scientist or
philosopher who provides something new, if the chart
promises so.
Negatively the native is slave of his rigid habits and
limiting attitudes. He does not want to compromise at
the cost of such habits and attitudes. Thus he misses
the train and does not reach the destination indicated
by other propensities in his horoscope. He is in great
-need of psychological support to learn methods of
success in this world of opportunism.
According to classical authors, it is hard for the
native to achieve success in respect of the sign and house
where this conjunction occurs. There is tendency for the
things to occur as late as possible.
Saturn conjunct Ketu in a malefic house also confers
suicidal tendencies.
Ketu in the constellation of Saturn in the 8th house
predisposes one to paralysis.
Saturn Conjunct Uranus-Original genious ideas,
check of eccentricity, use of old ideas and theories
blending them with modern concept are the key notes

developed and learned and does not indulge himself in
useless whims, fancies and habits. He becomes a serious

sciences. He is able to use creatively knowledge of past
masters along with his own experiences gained under
the light of present days science and technology. He is a
keen student of Astrology and is competent enough to
make researches in this divine science. He has a laudable
practical approach to all matters of his interest.
If the conjunction is afflicted, the native is obstinate,
irritable and self willed subjected to autocratic attitudes.
For such attitudes he incurs unwanted enemity which
may pose a threat to his well being. He tends to be
accident prone. Unrealistic optimism creates strong
emotional tensions in him leading to pessimism and
depression.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune- Practical use of
Neptunian insight, secret activities, morbid
imaginations and drug abuse are the key notes of this
conjunction.
To a well evolved native or in a good horoscope, if
the conjunction is well aspected, the native is able to
use practically his spiritual inspirations, compassion and
clairvoyant faculties. His dreamy nature tends to gain
feet. As such the native can excel in the fields of drama,
photography, music, art or some spiritual thought that
can be of utility to humanity and to the nerves of masses.

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OFRAHU
We know that Rahu or north node of the Moon is
one of the two points where the plane of the Moon's
circuit cuts the plane of the Sun's circuit or earth's circuit
or the ecliptic (these three terms represent one and the
same Jhing). It is known as Dragon's Head. The other
point of intersection is called Ketu or Dragon's Tail or
south node. Rahu is the point from where the Moon
traverses to her northern course while Ketu is the point
from where she traverses to her southern course.
According to Western Astrqlogers Rahu is a benefic
like the nature of two fortunes Jupiter and Venus. In
Vedic Astrology, Rahu is considered a materialistic and
opportunistic planet who is always eager to attain
worldly pleasures. It belongs to lower sections of the
society. It is cruel and untouchable.
Actually Rahu represents lust. The word lust should
be used here in a wider perspective according to its position
in sign and house and the evolution level of the horoscope
under scrutiny. For example Rahu in the Lagna either
126 Planetary Aspects in Mrology
instigates the native to lead an unscrupulous life or
nurtures him to lead a spiritual life. Here the sign position
ofRahuand evolution level of the individual are important.
The lust is there either for the evil or for the good.
Rahu Conjunct Uranus-A family quarrel, a
disquietning and upsetting when living together with
others and experiences in life shared together with
others are the key notes of this conjunction.
The native is likely to have gains from original and
genuine ideas, technology and existing social conditions,
when the conjunction is well aspected. For example if the
conjunction is found in the 7th house and is well aspected,
the native may marry a partner leaving aside all customs
and tradition and may be benefitted therefrom.
This aspect also tends to impulsive enthusiasm and
if the conjunction is afflicted, the resulting social changes
are against the interests of the native for being too far
carried away in impulses.
The native also suffers disquietening and disturbing
dreams. He has illnesses of the same character at regular
intervals.

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OFKETU
According to Western Astrologers Ketu is a malefic
like Saturn and causes inhibitions, delays and
disappointment in undertakings. It weakens the
significations of the planet it is conjunct with.
In Vedic Astrology, Ketu is Mokshakaraka, the planet
leading to emancipation. It remains in deep meditation. It
is very influential spiritual planet who takes the native
away from lust. Ketu creates miseries in such a way that
the native becomes aware why the miseries have been
inflicted upon him. He becomes aware of the cause and
does not indulge himself again in the same process.
Therefore' Ketuis also called Gnankaraka, i.e., knowledge
provider. Thus we see that Ketu is strongly Karmic in
character.
Ketu Conjunct Uranus- Disruption due to changing
social conditions is the key note of this conjunction.
The native is the most affected person from the
changing sociological conditions .. These changing
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 129
sociological conditions may be wars, revolutions or
partition of a country. If the conjunction occurs in the
lOth house, the native may have frequent transfers if in
service. If it occurs in the 4th house, his house or land
may be acquired for some goverment project for a
meagre compensation, thus inflicting financial loss to
the native.
The native is well aware of importance of traditional
values and customs and sticks to them even under the
strong current of social and technological changes. This
is possible only if the conjunction is well aspected.
Ketu Conjunct Neptune- Disinclination to cash on
opportunities and danger of theft of hard earned
valuables are the key notes of this conjunction.
The native is a go slow person drowned in his own
world of unrealistic fancies. He is so absent minded that
he is usually unable to cash on opportunities. This is
his subconscious habit pattern. He is more a fate
oriented individual believing in, what is in his fate, will
come to him. Due to this attitude, he ignores even the
greatest follies of others and he is likely to be robbed of
what he has earned after strenuous efforts. If the
conjunction is well aspected, the native has spiritual
understanding of the functioning of things.
Ketu Conjunct Pluto- Destruction of endeavours
due to inconducive social events and initiations into
projects at wrong time are the key notes of this
conjunction.
In a good horoscope, if the conjunction is well
aspected, the native has ability to fight out social evil
by deploy111ent of his resources and will. He is self reliant
to accomplish the tasks.
130 Planetaly Aspects in Mrology
On the negative side, the native has tendency to
initiate into works at wrong time which only produces
humiliation on his part. He is not at ease with his
environment and prevailing social set up. His
endeavours are blocked or turn futile due to inconducive
social environment, perhaps may be due to wrong
selection of time. The major block is that the native
himself is unwilful.

horoscope, the native is though endowed with inventive
faculty and genius; but he is at the same time over
forceful, abrupt, brusque, erratic, wilful, sarcastic and
easily offended. He is prone to accidents through
vehicles, electricity and explosions.
Aspects of Uranus, his sign and house position are
indicators of native's originality and genius drawn from
some higher source. Planets aspecting Uranus are
subject to drastic changes for the good or bad in their
affairs. Extra sensory perception is in a way more
responsible for bringing about these changes.
Uranus Conjunct Neptune - Extraordinary and
unusual inclinations and elimination of waking
consciousness are the key notes of this conjunction.

is destined to make major spiritual and scientific
progress. He is to set new standards of evolution level

Highly developed individual with good horoscope
works and leads the regeneration movement for the

collective power and position for selfish purposes. Trade
Union leaders who exploit labour movement for selfish
purposes fall under the later category.

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF NEPTUNE
Neptune appears to be the planet of nebulous state,
more psychic than physical or material. He represents
inspiration, spirit feeling, mediumship and inner
perception. He governs the receptive faculties. He is of
neutral and spiritual nature. Spiritual here does not
mean religious. He rules things and conditions of
mysterious order and hidden nature such as seances,
secret meetings and affairs of secret order. He rules feet
in human body and more abstract understanding of the
things. He does not rule any metal but has relation with
gases, drugs, chemicals and anaesthetics. He on the one
side represents mental chaos while on the other side
spiritual insight. He has affinity for oils, liquids,
beverages, tobacco, sea and impressionistic art.
When Neptune is well placed and aspected in a
horoscope, the native is full of aspirations and
forewarnedintuitionally to do the right thing and make
full use of opportunity. He is endowed with clairvoyant
Planetary Aspects in Astrology 135
faculty and has great sense of touch and feeling. The
native has full potential of an artist if he has some sort
of aptitud~ for art.
When Neptune is adversely located and aspected in
a horoscope, he leads to over receptivity, inertness and
states too negative and passive, which result in various
ills or defects of character, allowing weakness to
temptations. The native seems to be emotional and if
does not resist himself, he is likely to run into extremes,
generate unnatural appetites, changefulness,
uncertainty, indolence, vague imaginations, intrigues
and confusions, incur troubles through schemes, plots,
deception and secret enemities.
Neptune Conjunct Pluto -A tendency to
concentrate strongly upon peculiar or strange aims and
ideas, wavering between fanatic and mystical
inclinations and presentiments are the key notes of this
conjunction.
The native with this conjunction at birth has
perception of higher forms of religion and spiritualism
and engages himself in reforming and regenerating
spiritualism from the flaws it has acquired and thus
enlightens the society and humanity by a new level of
consciousness. He can be an apostle of the thought of
universal love among all living beings. The method of
manifestation of ideas depends on the house of
conjunction and house ownership of the two planets
and aspects made to the conjunction.
The conjunction is so delicate in character that a weak
individual often oscillates between the fanatic and
mystical inclinations. This so happens when Neptune
is more prominent of the two planets.
136 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
If the conjunction is afflicted and the native has a
strong horoscope, he is able to reap the sentiments of
masses aroused through his ideas of new religious and
universal love concept for his own selfish motives.
Planetary Conjunctions Of Pluto
Planetary conjunctions of Pluto with other planets
have been discussed under the conjunctions of various
planets. An idea about the specific nature and
characteristics of Pluto will be of benefit for our readers.
Pluto stands for fundamental and irrevocable
changes in one's life. He rules the elimination, recycling
and regeneration of old ideas, concepts and waste
products. Pluto's house position shows the area to
cleaned and recycled. This cleaning has to be done at
physical, emotional and mental level. The power of will
and faculty of attention is required for cleaning process
which are also represented by Pluto.
If Pluto is strongly placed and aspected in a
horoscope, the self awareness and determination of the
native are highly developed and indicate higher level
of spiritual enlightenment.
If Pluto is weakly placed or aspected, the native lacks
in self awareness, determination and is a dummy
spiritually.
Pluto is the will or energy that can alter the quality
of life for the good or evil. Impartial judgement is always
required for the manifestation of Pluto energy for the
cause of humanity.

HARMONIOUS AND
INHARMONIOUS ASPECTS
In Vedic Astrology harmonious and inharmonious
aspects among the planets depend upon their natural
significations and their basic characters. Planets of
contrary characteristics usually display inharmony when
in aspect. However the lordships of planets have a great
say in moulding the planets considerably, when in aspect.
This change in nature and characteristics is particularly
noticeable during their Dasas and Bhuktis. Thus we see
that in Vedic Astrology the results of aspects of planets
depend upon their natural characteristics and lordships.
In Western Astrology, it is' the angle between the planets
that decides harmonious or inharmonious aspects. The
planets at fl.)o or 120° apart are supposed to be in harmony
or create a harmonious aspect, tend to enhance each other's
good significations, modify and retard the bad
significations. If the angle is 90° or 180° or placed in 6th/
8th to each other, then they are said to be in inharmonious
aspects. They tend to irritate and block each other's
significations. They give bad results for the houses they
are posited in and for the houses ruled by them.
138 Planetary Aspects in Astrology
We propose to discuss here the harmonious and
inharmonious aspects between the sets of two planets
in a general sense. These aspects are pliable for various

The aspect of Jupiter on three planets in the Lagna
enhances the above mentioned effects. The square aspect
of Saturn over the Sun and Mercury gave her arterio-
sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Rahu in the 6th house
adds to it. To some extent Saturn in the lOth house is
also responsible for susceptibility to windy diseases.
