determining past and future lives from your chart

[omkara]

hi all
I came across some very interesting literature a few days back while reading mantreshwara's phaladeepika on ways to determine past and future lives through an individuals chart. If my memory serves me right, various significations of 9th house in the chart hold a key to unravelling your past karmas and life, whereas the significations of the 5th house unravell the future lives. I am a novice in this field, hence I am unable to elaborate too much on the topic, I will post material from phaladeepika in the thread for everyone's perusal. In the mean time I would appreciate if all the learned members of this forum could take some time out to enlighten us further with their knowledge.

Thank You,

Omkara.

here are some of the quotes from phaladeepika, as promised.
1)

It is from the lord of the 9th that all is ascertained about the native's past
birth and all information about his future birth is signified by the lord of the 5th
house. The particular caste, country and the direction of the person concerned in
his past and future births should be deduced from the lords of the 9th and the 5th
houses respectively.

2)

If the planets referred to above be in their sign of exaltation, the abode
should be declared as that of Gods (Devaloka). If they be in their sign of
debilitation or in an inimical sign, the abodes of past and future birth should be
declared to be foreign islands. If the above patents be in their own sign, friend's
sign or a neutral's sign, such place would be India alone.
The parts of India covered by the various planets are as under:—
(1) The Sun — Mountains and forests.
(2) The Moon — Tracts watered by the holy rivers (like Ganga, Yamuna,
Narmada, Godavari, etc.).
(3) Mars — Keekat Desha now known as Bihar.
(4) Mercury — All scared places.
(5) Jupfler—Aryavarta bordered in the North by Himalayas, in the South by
Vindhya, and which extends to oceans in the East and the West
(6) Venus —The same places as have been indicated for the Moon.
(7) Saturn — Prohibited places like those inhabited by Mlechhas (non-
Hindus).

Hope this was of help to anyone interested.
I welcome any takes on this concept.
I am also going to be posting any info i find on this concept for everyone's perusal in the future.

Thank you,

Omkara

I enjoyed reading your post.

My 9th house is Aquarius, with its lord Saturn and Rahu in the 8th Capricorn - so Own Sign
My 5th Lord is Libra, with its Lord Venus in 11th Aries doing a parivartan exchange with 12th lord Mars.

So, im guessing my past life was in the abode of Gods - Good
and my future , seems to be sad as Venus and Mars are enemies so foreign life next life

Hi Jupiterlight and Omkara,

Nice article. Very interesting. How about the 8th house being used as an instrument in establishing past and future life?

Jupiterlight, i believe you are a gemini ascendant as well.

I have jupiter in aquarius in 9th house and Saturn, the lord is in the 6th house, enemy to Mars. I guess i must be from "foreign lands".

My fifth house of Libra has Venus in it along with mercury my lagna lord, does this mean i will supposedly be from somewhere better?

To be honest, i have no idea how to read the 8th house. Mine is capricorn with an exalted Mars.

Do you have some knowledge on the 8th house and with Mars exalted? I have tried researching but all of the answers i have gotten is quite negative assuming that Mars is in other signs and not an exalted one.

Hi all,
Profuse apologies for delaying my continuation of the thread. here are some more details i managed to dig out with regards to past and future lives. this should be interesting. These notes again, are a direct translation M.P in english.
I would appreciate any response in this regard. Thank you

If the planets referred to (lords of the 9th and the 5th). are
posited in a fixed sign or Navamsa which is Prishtodaya and Adhomukha along with malefics, the past and future briths of the native should be taken as trees,plants and the like. If the lords of the 9th and the 5th houses occupy a Shirshodaya and an Urdhvamukha sign or a moveable sign or navamsa, and be associated with benefics, the past and future birth will be of an animal kind.
If the lord of the 9th or the 5th be in the sign of exaltation or own sign
the lord of the Lagna, it would mean that the native's previous or the future birth (as the case may be) will be that of a human being.
If the lord of the 9th occupied a sign neutral to the lord of the Lagna, the native in the past birth was born as an animal.
If the lord of the 5th be in a sign neutral to the lord of the Lagna. the native in his future birth will be born as an animal.
If the lord of the 9th occupies the sign of debilitation of the lord of the Lagna or in an inimical sign, the native was born as a bird in his previous birth.
If the lord of the 5th be in such a situation, the native will be born as a bird in his next birth.
All these may also be declared with reference to the appearance of the decanates occupied by the lord of the 9th or the 5th.
If the lords of the 9th and the 5th be in the same sign, the past birth was in his own country and the future birth will also take place there.
If these two planets be of equal strength, the past and future birth would be in the same caste.
The colour and quality will also be similar to these belonging to the lords of
the 9th and the 5th houses.
Prediction regarding all the rest should be similarly made by a reference to
what has been stated in the Samgnadhyaya.
