What happened to this forum?
Dear all, This forum used to be so very active in the past, and I am a regular visitor from 2009. I think that from around 2019 or so, there has been very less traffic. I wonder why. I do hope that all the learned members come back and continue discussing the astrology related matters. I have learnt...

Re: Aditya Hridayam
Dear All,
I would like to share an interesting titbit that I had read on this great stotra.
A great saint has mentioned that the six verses in this stotram, starting with "Nakshatragrahataraanaam...." are supposed to have mantra shakti.

3 or more planets in the tenth house
Why is it said that, if a person has 3 or more grahas in the tenth bhava, he might renounce the world? What is the logic behind this?

Re: How can a weak Jupiter be strengthened?
Thank you for the advice, Nitinji, Revribhavji.
ADC,
Yes, it used to give me a relatively stable job in the past. However post 2010, the job situation has been highly unstable.

Namaskar. My Jupiter is in Taurus in 6H. No conjunction or aspect on Jupiter. In Navamsa Jupiter is in Pisces (Libra Lagna).

Re: Saturn -Aspect -Own House
Let me share my humble experience, hoping that it will prove useful to someone or confirm some conclusions. I have Saturn the 2nd and 3rd lord in 8H. Conversely, Moon the 8L is in 2H, hence there is a Parivartana. Saturn aspects his own 2H from his position in 8H. 1. I have never faced financial iss...

Hi all...
For Dhanur lagna, Guru the Ascendant is considered neutral due to Kendradhipathya Dosha. How can the Guru be strengthened?

Re: What is the best way to live, for weak lagna ppl?
Twi golden rules to live a better life for such people: 1. Wake up at Brahma muhurata or atleast before sunrise and do gayatri everyday as a niyam. This activates lagna and gayatri strengthens it. Sun gets strength in lagna this way. Nitinji, न गायत्र्यात् परो मन्त्रः I didn't reply to this point e...

Re: What is the best way to live, for weak lagna ppl?
Thank you Dev ji and Nitin ji. Regarding pt 2, if there are no planets in the Rashi lagna, can we do japa for the devataa corresponding to the planet posited in lagna in Navamsa?
And if Gulika/Maandi is present in lagna in Rashi, then to which devataa should we pray to?

Re: Does this constitute Sakata Yoga?
The repetition of yoga needs to be checked in divisionals to be applicable in that particular area of life. Otherwise it's only individual planetary play that gives results. Thanks Nitin ji. So you would not consider the above to be a full Sakata yoga, given the parivartana yoga also involving Moon...

What is the best way to live, for weak lagna ppl?
It seems to be the fate of people with weak lagna, or weak lagna lord, to be overruled by others, and to be forced to live as per the decisions of others. This is particularly so in case if the lagna is ruled by a benefic. So how should the people with weak lagna live their life?

7th Lord and having many wives
I read a BPHS sloka that states that when the 7th lord is in debilitation, the native will have many wives. But there is another sloka that states, when the 7th lord is exalted, the native will have many wives. How should these slokas be interpreted?

Re: Can I listen to Gayatri Mantra chant any time?
That is the sad truth...you can also say that, the past bad karma of many - present day brahmins cloud their awareness and make them neglect their nitya karma. And as though proportionately, the status of brahmins in society has also reduced considerably.

Re: Can I listen to Gayatri Mantra chant any time?
Devi Bhagavatham says in one place, if the brahmin doesnt do Sandhya worship, he will be reborn as a fox or some such animal....while explaining how essential a duty it is.
