Miseries and Misfortunes

Yes D30 is a very sensitive indicator to the miseries and

misfortunes in human lives.
Transits of Malefics if more accurately marked in D30 in my
experience than any other charts.

Dear All,

What causes, miseries and misfortunes of collosal order....I mean

the type where within weeks & months the lives of some natives
change.....loss of Job/ death in the family/ severe
disease/accidents/ debts/ insults/ injuries have been seen to hit
suddenly sometimes...causing deep and prolonged sufferings.

When they are beyond the normal rotuine problems and collosal in
nature....the trigger would be generally a change of Dasa/
antardasa and / or a transit.

But the cause and remdies should be looked at from the

Trimamsha, D-30, the recommend chart for misries and
misfortunes.

Here is an attempt to delineate and simplify the first look excersie

using D-30.

Althouhg classics talk about D-30...they are typical dictums,

trasnsliterations from sanskrit, scattered and disconnected gems
Primary refrences are:
works of S. rath, Barabara Pijan, and various books and
commentaries dealing with Trimshamsha

1) D-30 Lagna Lord will always cause some problems however

beneifc he might be especially in his periods. He is the weak-point
for the native.
The indicator of karmik debts and sharapas carried forward.

2) However if D30 lord is malefic in Rasi and Navamsa, the severity

of the problems caused will be much more.

3)The house in D-1 corresponding to the Rasi that is the Lagna in

D-30 is the focal point of problems in natives life.

4)the placement lagna lord of Rasi in D-30 should be looked at

similarly as the secondary source of problems.

5)8th is the house to focus on in Trimsamsa to see the planets /

grahas tahat will further cause problems.

6) rahu transits over the Trimsamsa Lagna can bring severe and
catostrophic consequences..especially if he is malefic in Rasi chart

7)12th house in Trimamsha shows the exit path from the bad...a
benefic in 12th is good....malefic will delay exists.
since 12th is the 5th from the 8th...and 5th is the house of
mantras/ prayers.

8] [edit] UnLike with all higher charts...D-30 is not so sensitive to

birth Times .....as the Asc does not change in about 20 minutes
window, because of the method used in calculations in JHORA, see
appended below from PVR Narsimharao

Namaste,

Please read BPHS (Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram). First 3 deg,

second deg, 3rd 3 deg etc of a sign are mapped to different signs
in D10. But D30 is different. Not every degree in a sign is mapped
to different signs in D30. An arc of 5 deg, an arc of 8 deg etc are
mapped together to a single sign in D30.

Bottomline: JHora is correct if you follow Parasara's definition. If

you want a cyclical D30 where each sign is mapped to a different
sign, please change D30 option and use "Parivritti Trimsamsa".
JHora default is Parasara's D30.

Best regards,
Narasimha

further Sun and Moon are not assigned a role in D-30....being lumanaries they bring
light and joy...and not darkness in lives.
and D-30 being the chart for dark/ evil/ misery & misfortune.
Aside from your question, Sarajit Poddar mentioned that if the Lagna of D-1 and the
Lagna of D-30 are the same sign, the individual would have most of his diseases during
childhood. By extrapolative reasoning, if the diseases are mental etc. and not
physical, I would think the person would have master most of his handicaps by
adulthood.

But with regards to your question, the person would continue to experience miseries
and misfortunes throughout live. This is not just through Shilpa's current post, but in
my another post where I said if the Lagna of D-1 coincides with ANY of the Lagna of
the divisional charts, the areas covered by that divisional chart would be emphasised.

But the Lagna of D-30 seems to have a strong effect with regards to the above
principle ie. its effects would be more if D-1 Lagna coincide with the Lagna of D-30
than other divisional charts considered, because of 2 reasons :
(1) D-30 is one of the main charts under the 10 divisional chart scheme unlike say D-6
which also stands for miseries but is not part of the 10 Varga scheme.

(2) Of the 10 divisional chart scheme, D-30 is the only chart whose use is for the
prognostication of evil (take 30 divide by 12 giving a remainder 6) just like D-6. The
other charts in the 10 divisional chart scheme do not give a remainder of 6 when
divided by 12.

D-60, the other chart in the 10 divisional chart scheme, gives a remainder of 0 when
divided by 12 meaning 12th Bhava is the Karya House. But 12th Bhava though a
Dusthana, can swing either way of being a neutral or malefic depending on the chart.

That goes the same for D-12 in the 10 divisional chart scheme
which also gives a remainder of 0. But dealing with parents, it
pertains more to the inherited traits from your parents and that I
would say is not totally evil as you can inherit good traits from
your parents as well.
When D1 and D30 lagna lords are the same:
Just like many things in our Vedic astrology....this is another example of trade-offs.
While D-30 lordship tainst and weakens Ascendant.........D-1 lordship tones down the
maleficity.
Further this would make the Asc. in Vargottama between D-1 and D-30, indicating to
me a natural/ harmonic alignment to fight the advesity and misfortunes.

You could ask the native with such a case ot verify how the periods and sub-periods of
the ascendant lords...especially the events when Rahu transitted over the ascendant.
1) Undoubtedly Mars has taken you to great heights by being so well placed in it's
house of Digabla in the Rasi chart and also in Dasa-varga charts ( an amasabala
of 9....unbelievable).....it will take you higher & further in your career. I have
absolutely no doubts about that either.

2) But as I told astro123 in this same thread and have often said before our
system of Vedic astrology ia one of trade-offs....often times the same strength
that gives you a lot.....is a negative also in some areas of life..

It is generalyl said that an extreme strength is also a blind spot.

The same planet gives a lot many times takes away some.

3) Mars is indeed the Ascendant Lord of the Trimamsa...so it will cause your
problems of some kind in life.
and per the D-30 analysis rules.....the most impact that Mars makes is in your
5th house of Rasi( scorpio)...because Scorpio is the Asc house in D30.

Mars as the ruler of 5th and so strong in the 10th and dasavarga....gives you 5th
house significations like Fame, fortune, Sucesss in intellect/ academic or
related field rise.

But Mars the Trimamsa lord takes away some part of 5th house
significations....such as Romance, love based phsyical relations, delay in having
children....and hence the associated stress that comes from this aspect of life
socially.

5) Further the D1 asendant Lord Moon sits in the 6th house of services and
obstacles and hurdles......there will always be people wanting to pull you down
or throw hurdles in your path....
Always the strong Mars related to your professional house will give you the
courage to fight and overcome......but hurdles will be there.

3) Lastly the graha in the 8th house of Trimamsa is Venus...the planet of love/
relations ( both physical and emotional)....is the area of deprivation and Hurt
and it validates the 5th house deprivations also.

4)and the exit path from deprivation as shown by 12th house of Trimamsa is
Jup, the karak of knowldege / wisdom and Saturn the lord of spirituality sitting
there,

Continued persuance of knowldege/ wisdom based professions / vocations and

spirituality will help you either attian what the graha in 8th ( Venus) deprives
you......or atleast overcome the affects.

Yours is one of the many charts of successful people I have seen that is blessed
and deprived simultaneously...you have to undertsand your destiny and align
with it.
following is my attempt to decipher what's been going on...especially w.r.t
triggers and timings.

--Shani is the lord of the ascendant in the Trimamsa, the trouble causing
planet.

--Shani is exalted in the 12th house of rasi in Vyay bhaav

--You started the Ket-Shani anatardasa...at the end of April 2010.....which is

 when problems / losses shoud have started...however such major
problems need a trigger

--Ketu in it's own house and with ascendant gives you good results in many
ways, but afflicts Jupiter, the natural benefic.

---the trigger IMO came in the form of transitting Jupiter throuhg Pisces
retrograding to Aquarius in Oct 2010.
Retrograde Jup in transit is reported to give advserse results if not well placed
in Rasi chart.

--So the combination of the Trimamsa Lord AD and Jupiter's retrogradte

transit...triggered the unfortunate events affecting 3rd ( social standing and
relatons) , 4th ( prosperity at home) and 1st houses where Jup sits( overall
life).

--Rahu posited in 8th house will transit over your natal Ketu in the first week of
June...creating intense conflicts and internal turmoils, physical and mental
health issues.

--You have to pray to Lord Shani everyday, offering til/ tel on Saturdays...until
the Shani AD ends in June 2011.

--Once you are past June, life should start easing back to normal. The escape
path is denoted by Venus sitting in the 12th house. Occupying yourself with
favorite pastime leisures, hobbies and finding a partner/ relationship with
opposite sex will be instrumental in getting back to normal.

my problesm is when will i be able to have a child, and when will i be able to get out of financial
worries and have my own house.

--Lord of Trimamsa is Jupiter,the putra Karak....(no wonder) and the problem creating planet.

--Further Jup as the asc lord of D-1 is placed in the D-30 Lagna

-- the house denoting problem is 1st....and hence not having a progeny impacts all areas of your
existense since it's the Ascendant house.

--Althouhg Asc in Vargottama indicates, an immesnse ability to fight the adversities and misfortunes.

--exit from miseries is indicated by 12th in D-30 which is empty but it's lord Mars indicates need to
fight/ courgae....and Mars also signifies surgery whihc means a surgical/ operative procedure could be
the solution.

-- Running Rahu MD sitting in the 12th house makes thimgs difficult....but Rahu also signifies operations
/ surgeries

---Without too much delay attempt to concieve using inavise procedures like IUI or IVF.

--Chant Brihaspati Mantra, fast on Thursdays...that should also help, not only in conception but other
areas of life as the Trimamsa Lord is in the first house denoting the cause of all-round problems
Rahu is in the 7th in Taurus......and although the exalttaion of Rahu is
qustionabale and it's exaltation house is debatable.
However even if we assume it is exalted......the important question to answer
is if Rahu is malefic or beneifc.

Rahu sits in Mrigshirsha...... lorded my Mars and Mars is in thr eigth house so
Rahu in your chart acts likes Mars in 8th house...hence it is a malefic.

so when rahu will transit over the natal Ketu ( and Ket over natal Rahu).....will
be unpleasant in my read.....as one of them is malefic.
Lagna lord with Rahu gives anxiety with no reason.regards

--D30 lagna is Saggitarius....and about 1.5 year back transitting Rahu entered
Saggitarius....which as per the rules of Trimamsa is a known period of misery
and misfortune.

--More so if Rahu is malefic in the chart.....and problematic mildly even if Rahu

is well placed

--In your chart Rahu is indeed malefic as Rahus in Baharni ruled by Venus an
Venus is in the bitter enemy sign of Sun, neutralized a bit due to temporal
friendly placement of Su 2nd from Venus.
Neverthless Ra can be called mildly bad to neutral in your chart...hence the
result of Rahu's transit over your Triamsa Lagna cause the problems.

--Ra will exit Saggitarius on 7th June and this should see your problems/
traumas reduce.
--like tank25 you also have your trimamsa lagna in Sagiitarius that Rahu has
been transitting over for the last 1.5 years

--Rahu is well placed in it's own Nakshtra and you are running Rahu AD also.

--Rahu when well placed causes milder problems when transitting over
trimamsa lagna.

--Things should get better after 7th June

--Lagna of D30 is Saggitarius, your 7th hosue of relationships/ marriage and

partnerships...whihc may be the area of troubles in your life.

--Trimamsa Lord Jup sits in the 11th house of earnings and wish fulfillments.
Will throw hurdles in significations of 11th house, even when and before
fullfilling them.

Rahu is conjunct with Jupiter in the 12th house of Saggitarius...and magnifies

the effect of a strong Jupiter.

Rahu will transit into his 1st house on the 7th June...the effect of whihc should
be quite positive / favorable IMO.

Assuming your BT is accurate:

--Trimamsa lagna is Pisces...whihc is the 11th house of your Rasi chart.

 --so problem area for you may be income from profession...whihc means you
are not making enough money, as you should or not finding the right
employment.

--How was the time between April 2005 to Sep 2006 ?? also what MD-Ad were
you running then and what are you running now.

--Saturn sitting in the 8th house of your Trimamsa shows your problems are
because of Saturnian hard-work grind, delays, denials, constrains,
restrains......perhaps for family reasons( constraining/ restricting cause) and
affecting your employment/ earning prospects.

--Escape path......12th house of trimamsa has nodes sitting in it.....not

good.....indicates little choices in escaping from the situation. Almost Karmik
destiny imposed situations that are restraining you down.

Good Karma.....spirituality...is your only solace but expect no drastic changes

to your situations in the short term.

--Trimamsa...Lagna Lord is sun placed in the 7th house....and per the given rules
denotes the area of troubles in your life i.e marriage.
Which you confirmed is the case.

--You are also on the 1-7 axis of Rahu-Ketu and Rahu was transiting over 7th house (
Ket over 1st)in 2006

--Rahu-Ket on 1-7 or 7-1 axes are bad....and further more severe if the Nakshatra lord
placement is bad.

--In your case.....rahu sits in Moon's Nakshtra and Moon is debilitated in the 3rd
house...which is why Rahu is malefic in yuor chart. Ketu is in shani's nakshatra and
shani is in bitter enemy sign of sun...hence both Rahu and Ketu are out and out
malefic's in your chart.
They destroy the houses they sit in and their transits ate also bad, especially when
crossing natal Rahu, Ket or the Lagna or the Trimamsa Lagna house.

--As explained above in 2006 Ra-Ket were transitting over 7-1 houses and you were
running the AD of debilitated Moon...when these catostrophic events occured.
--Further shani is also malefic for your chart and shani was then transitting over natal
shani brining out 12th house losses type affects in full force.

--3rd house of siblings is Mars is debilitated in 11th and 11th lord is Moon debilitated
in 3rd....exchnage yoga but unfortunately 3rd house denoting siblings is badly
shattered due to double debility...probably siblings earnings/ incomes and social
satndings are badly hit.

--Consecutive bad AD's of Moon, Mars, Rahu are over.....and you have better phase of
Jup, and and Me will provide you relative relief over several years. Your dasanath Ve
is not bad eitehr.

"7)12th house in Trimamsha shows the exit path from the bad...a benefic in 12th is
good....malefic will delay exists.
since 12th is the 5th from the 8th...and 5th is the house of mantras/ prayers."

shilpaji

so the mantra suitable for the native in the context of D-30 has to be deduced from 12th
of D-30?
Dear Kandhan,
the 5th from the 8th i.e 12th shows the exit path...whihc could be a perosn (
such as mother or brother's support) or a karkatwa ( such as religion or
leadrrship)......and not necessarily the planet / diety to appease.

I would interpret the above in blue as 5th from the 8th showing the answers /
fruits of your prayers...and not necessarily the deity to appease.

--Trimamsa Lagna is Aquarius that corresponds to the 11th house...i.e earnings

/ income from job the main area of concern.

--Trimamsa Lagna Lord is Shani lording the 10th and 11th house the cause of
most grief as it brings out the 6th house significations of disease, hurdles,
enemity because it is seated in the 6th house....especially in amtetrs related
to profession and income.
--and shani being in the 8th house of D-30 is further confirmation of the source
of trouble.

--The nodes are seated in the 12th house of your D-30 making the exit path
more in the hands of fate then in yoor control.
However earn good Karmik credits, fight adversity with courgae and
determination is what Mars also in the 12th shows.......and life will eventually
get better.

Now let's look at the Rasi chart

--Althouhg Shani is from multiple sources seen to be the grief giver....it is not
an out-and-out complete malefic for you...it gives you mixed results.
Just that currently it is transiting over your natal Shani whihc happens to be in
the 6th house also....is why it is so severe.

--that was coupled with the period of Jup-Sun ending in Oct 2010....and sun,
the lord of 5th is debilitated in the 7th.

--the disease/ health, income loss, enemity type situations will ease a lot after
November...when shani moves to Libra....actually you may have already seen
relief since May when Jupiter transitted into Aries...your lagna house.

--Rahu is in the fourth house indicating possibilities for foreign settlement,

whihc is further confirmed by the 9th and 12th lord being same, Jup although
in the 6th.
Rahus is in Mercury's nakshtar whihc is combust in Rasi....making Rahu malefic
in Rasi chart...casuing problems in happiness at home.

--In D4 moon the karak for long term foreign stay is in 4th and 4th and 9th Lord
are conjunct.

--So foreign stay and settlement is a very strong possibility...although because

Rahu is malefic in Rasi and 9th, 12th lords are in the 6th house of
hurdles....you will see big hurdles in foreign settlement and may never quite
feel fully settled.

--Pray to shanidev.....every day...especially on saturday..do til/ tel arpan on

shani idols/ in temples or at home......will give you relief.
also chant Rahu mantra...and offer oil on Rahu iron diety also on
Saturdays...will make foreign stay less troublesome.
 --7th house has the 3rd, 6th Lords combusted in it...however Moon is friendly in
the 7th house.
It's an afflicted house, but not completely damaged.

--8th house is strong with Ma in his own house and indicating conjugal bliss
when it happens.

--Venus the karak of marriage and Lord of 7th is average to weak in Rasi

in D9

--7th Lord Jup is extremely well placed in the 10th house in Pisces.....and
Venus the Karak of marriage is also very well placed in his own house.

Navamsa is very strongly postive for marriage and hence your married life will
last. It will have it's shares of troubles especially during the Me periods...but it
will last and should yield you emotional and phsyical fullfillment.

I had been told by some astrologers that venus placed in 12th in navamsha will be a big
hurdle to getting married. But thank you very much for your encouraging reply.
Regards
actually that is not true....since Venus is in own house....inspite of the house
being 12th, cancellation of maleficity rule applies.
Venus there will do you good.

Does anyone know why D30 is paired with D2?

Hi Shilpa

I got the answer from the article by G K Goel on Divisional Charts.

D2 deals with Sampatti. The word Sampatti does not only mean material wealth but all means of
sustenance including mannerism, nature and attitude towards life as a whole.

D30 indicates evils, inclination of natural traits based on Trigunas - Swatic, Rajas and Tamas. Like in
my case my D-30 has Taurus rising and hence ruled by Venus and Venus is a Rajastic planet. So I more
inclined to be Rajastic amongst other factors like the number of planets in various signs in the Rasi
chart.

So D30 is more like a hidden attitude shrouded in a veil and D2 represents more of your general
attitude which is known by everybody who is acquainted with you for some time. Only really close ones
know about your D30.

Warmest Regards
Hock Leong
--you are running the antardasa of the Trimansa lagna Lord Mercury.

--such periods of Trimamsa LL always bring problems and of high severity if this
planet is malefic for the Rasi chart.

--Me is in the enemy house of Saturn in the 8th house and afflicted by
Ketu...hence inimical for the chart. It is further tainted by being in an
exchange with 8th Lord shani

--shani is more neutral in the house of Me and conjunct with Neutral Jupiter.

--shani is only mildly malefic because of 8th lordship...but Mercury is the much
more potent malefic for your chart. Shani is also problematic because it rules
8th in D30 also.

--you are running the 8th lord shani mahadasa and Mercury anatara...the AD
ends on 25 Nov 2012.

---Pray to lord Buddha every day, fast on wenesdays, chant Buddha mantra,
donate green clothes, green moong, green fruits and vegetables on wednesdays
and you will get relief.
--the Asc. in D30 is in Vargottama w.r.t D1 and shows you have great courage
and resilliance to handel miseries. Love/ affection from some one close or a
potential partner will also help you get out o this situation......because the
exit pat is shown by the 12th house of Trimamsa....whihc is lorded by Ve

let's look at the recent calamity in the life of Mohd Azharuddin...who lost his
teenaged son in a bike accident....in the light of the misery and misfortune
principles.

Feb 9th, 1963......22:25.......Hyderabad

Rahu conjuncts with a debilitated Mars and hence malefic....in the 11th
house.....instigating the evil desires

Rahu is transiting over the Trimamsa Lagna.....whihc can be a misfortunate

period in native's life even if Rahu is positive in his chart...and when malefic it
can unleash havoc. Not only is it transiting over the Asc Rahu in transit is also
aspecting the natal Asc. Lord( mars) and Rahu

.
Further, Azhar is running Rahu MD and Rahu's transit over the scorio ( his house
of Asc in d30) is going to last about 14 more months.....let us see how that
pans out for him?

When I see Jagjit Singh's chart and his D-30, I can see his misfortune with
repect to childern very clearly.

Feb 8, 1941, 11:50 AM, Ganganagar, India.

His D30 lagna is virgo and lord is mercury.

In rasi virgo is the fifth house, see the fate of his children, biological son died
at 19 and step daughter commited suicide some time back.
D30 lagna is occupied by debilitated Ve with Ra and Ketu.
This is a very malefic combo.
D30 lagna itself is problematic, add neecha planet with both nodes, it weakens
the entire chart irrespective of any other subha yoga, when lagna or lagna lord
are weak or under papakartari yoga no good comes out..the native fails to
experience any other good yogas.

His childern's fate was very tragic.

His D30 chart makes to very obvious..Had there been a benefic in 12H of D30
 there could have been some escape. His losses were colossal.
His saptamsa D7 does not reveal this issue to the extent that D30 does.

Thanks!
Dear Hina,

Did his marriage break-up? I thouhgt from late 60s according to

Wikipedia he was happily married till the end to Chitra?

Jagjit singh is..Tarus Asc using Local mean time, since the year of
birth is 1941.... with Jup and a debilitated shani conjunct in the
12th house

--Ketu is in the 11th house but is in the Nakshatra of shani that is

debilitated in the 12th house........so Ketu is acting like
debilitated shani.

-- Rahu is in the nakshtra of Moon.....moon is afflicted and

innimical by sitting in the house of bitter enemy Mercury...
throuhg Nakshtra placement Rahu is a malefic for the chart.

--Rahu-Ketu and shani are malefic for his chart troubling him all
his life. Rahu is in the 5th house spoiling the 5th house.....but that
alone doesn't give such tragic circumstances to all those who have
such a configuration.
--as Grishneshwar pointed....his 5th house is Virgo and Virgo is the
Trimsamsa (D-30) Lagna, and also contains Rahu and Ket and
debilitated Ve in D30.
and per the analysis rules for D30.....Virgo becomes the seat of
miseries and misfortunes in the rasis chart......and in his
case...particularly severe because Virgo is destroyed in
Trimsamsa.

--He lost his 19 year old son right at the end of the malefic Shani's
MD......when transitory shani and Rahu were aspecting the 5th
house of children in Rasi chart and lagna house in Trimsamsa.

--combiantions of shani, rahu, ket periods and transits would have

brought severe situations in his life and his end came in one of the
combined dire configuration of these 3 planets in transit and MD-
AD asd explained here

http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/ph ... 083#p94083

-- His successes were his creativity and talent based and hence are
denoted from his Navamsa, also observed in the thread quoted
above.
--your horoscope shows most d-charts having asc. conjunct with Moon....it;s
rare and interesting

--your D60 shows chandra lagna afflicted by Ket and d60 on the 1-7 axis
of.......maternal curses carried forward into this life...impacting the 7th house
area i.e relationship.
How is your relationship with your motehr.....is she your dependent?

--trimsamsa lagna is Gemini and YES as per the triamsa interpretation

rules....the area of your life biggest source of trouble is the gemini in the rasi
chart...whihc is the 7th house of relationships

--eight of trimsamsa shows the planet responsible for troubles....shanidev is

seated there...but since shani is in his own house......means that he will not be
out and out malefic...appeasement will make him relent.

--finally the exit path is shown by 12th in trimsamsa.....and there is benefic

Venus seated in his own house.....you will find the love of your life

--and aligned with karmik curses indication of D60 and the troubled house of
Gemini in D30...we see the 7th house in D1 is afflicted because of a badly
combust 7th lord Me therein.
Hpowever.....note Me is still in swakshetra and offsets some of bad due to
combustion...
and Venus the marraige karak is strong in Rasi as well as many higher D charts
showing an amsabal of 5.....ensuring comfotable life and eventually you should
find the love of your life.

--serve your motehr and maternal women well, do good to your maid servants,
serve in old age and destitutes home for women....support financially the
marriage of some needy girls/women...to repay the karmik debts...and you
should soon see relationship possibilites open up.

Here is a quick review of your Rasi and higher charts:

--there is rare occurence of a debilitated Surya in your Rasi chart and every D-
chart from the dasavarga group going all the way to Dwadasama.

This includes....Surya as the 4th Lord in Rasi and worst of all Surya as the
Navamsa Lagna Lord. Navamsa is the chart of happiness and content.

--Your problems may have been triggered in the Surya antardasa during the Jup
MD.

--you should do surya namaskar, surya Jal arpan, surya mantra daily, fast on
Sundays and make donations if you can.

--such a repeat occurence of a negative pattern in multiple D-charts is

indicative of a curse carried forward.
D60 shows sun innimical in the 6th hosue( counting from chandra lagna) of
shani and afflicted by ket that is in ati-sheetak amasa.

--however there are a number of positive karmas also as indicated by exalted

Venus and shani in D60.

--Further positives......The rasi chart has Jup in Swakshtera as lord of 11th in

 8th implying never a shortage of money and access to wealth from other
sources....and navamsa 10th Lord Venus is in swakshtra......further dasamasa
has Exalted Venus, swakshetra Jupiter, exalted Moon.....all indicating that
sources such as relatives and spouse will continue to support monetarily.

--Just that surya's extraordinary weakness kills the dominance, leadership,

pride type of accomplishments out of life....and given that he is also the
navamsa lagna lord....deprive overall content in life,

--In addtion to the remedy of porpitating surya....at the karmik level...you

should try to donate to and serve also if you can find time.....old men at old
age homes......old beggars i.e paternal aged old needy and
downtrodden.....for faster disssolution of possible curses.

Thanks for your reply. I will try and follow the remedies suggested by you.

There are some other few things i would want you to guide me with, since it is now
evident that the weakness of my sun is the reason of most of my dificulties...and that
there is a probable curse which i am carrying which is indicated by ketu conjunct sun in
my D60..i would want to know:

Is the curse from the fathers side since Sun represents Father....
And since shani is my ninth lord so can it be said that it is giving its Badhakapati results
for my lagna in its Mahadasha Period
So can we say that my coming up sat-sun period is going to bad or posed with more
challanges.
And also what abt rest of my Sat Dasha becos it is my YK and AK dasha..will i get benifits
frm this dasha or not.

Also pls if u could provide some reading based on my D30 chart as i am not able to relate
it based on the guideline you have mentioned in this thread, and also that i had asked
your advise on if any BTR is req becos with 9:30 pm my D-10 looks too good to be
true.....does my birth time matches with the my events, like marraige, child birth which i
had shared with you.

Await your valuable inputs.

Regards,
GSV

--the curse could be father or a paternal uncle..or even your professional

master or the governnment / ruler that you might have cheated severly.....i.e
a figure of authority who you might have wronged.

--shani period is not totally bad for you....shani is mixed for your chart in fact
more good than bad with an amasabala of 4 in higher charts...and your
shortcomigns are inspite of shani...and not because of him
once the advserse yoogas are triggered......such as in Jup-Su period and
probably coupled with a fast moving transit of sun....then they act life long.

--In D-9 BT asc. changes within 3 minutes of changing BT...but the events
corelate with the current BT.

even if the BT was changed to move the lagna by one house.....the strong
planets would still remain strong in your D10.

however D10 is a supplementary chart hanging from the rasi chart.

and life isn't totally bad.....there ain't a rank malefic or a malefic conjunction
in your charts.
otehr then the discussed weakness of Sun.

--The D30 shows a couple of things of note......Ra was transitting over your D30
lagna and this is a stressful period, even when rahu is positive for a chart.
Rahu is positive for your chart.....by conjunction with strong Jup.
If Ra was malefic things could have been much worse.

the next 1.5 year will be no better or worse ...similar mildly stressful.......as
rahu moves to Libra and will transit over your nodes in D30.

--addtional Rahu appeasement and propitation will help.

--But bear in mind transits don't change the course of your life....they bring out
both the positves and negatives that are promised in your natal charts...and
otehr than the debility of sun across multiple D charts...there is not an mjor
weakness/v affliction in yoru chart.
USAGE OF SHASTIAMSA (D60) IN REAL HOROSCOPES
==============================================
The Shastiamsa has a very strong role to play in our life and Destiny as it connects our current life to
our past life (lives). Hence understanding the Shastiamsa is Crucial.
The first step in this analysis is to see the Shastiamsa of the Lagnesha and the Bhagyesha.
Lagnesha governs what resources one will be given in this birth, how those resources can support
the native in the progress in this life etc. It can say a lot about the person's cultural, family and
locational identity. It can also impact on the native's personality, attitude, outlook towards life etc.
When Lagnesha is exalted in D60, the native will have strong ideals, principles, high morality and
positive outlook.
Similarly, the Bagyesha governs what luck the person has to get success, how much dharma or
righteousness the person has and how successful the life is going to be. When the Bhagyesha is
strong in Shastiamsa, the native even under a lot of duress, will get the strength to persist in the life's
journey and attain the purpose of this birth.
Given here the horoscope of Adolf Hitler, his life, his mission and the final outcome of his life. We will
only analyze the Shastiamsa of Lagnesha and Bhagyesha here.
Note: Don't bother about the D60 Lagna, which could be incorrect. I have not verified its accuracy.
The Shastiamsa positions are given below.
____________________________________
Body Division Index Amsa
____________________________________
Lagna 9 9 Garala
Sun 18 18 Indu
Moon 29 29 Kamalaakara
Mars 49 49 Chandra-mukhi
Mercury 7 7 Bhrashta
Jupiter 32 32 Kaala
Venus (R) 49 49 Chandra-mukhi
Saturn 43 18 Indu
Rahu 48 48 Karala-danshtra
____________________________________
Lagnesha Shukra is placed in Chandra-mukhi amsa. Indicating his ability to influence huge crowd
with his speech. Chandra-Mukhi means the seductive face of Chandra with which he seduces his 27
wives, the 27 Nakshatras. He also used it to seduce the wife of Guru, Tara and had a Bastard child
Budha from the union with her.
Shukra is placed in Mesha Shastiamsa, along with Chandra and Mangal. Mesha and Mangal gave
him the Martial power and Chandra made him the crowd puller.
***
Bhagyeshsa Budha is placed in Bhrasta Shastiamsa. Bhrasta means corrupt and who has diverted
from the path of righteousness. Hitler used his power in the most corrupt manner and caused one of
the most heinous genocide in the history of mankind.
Budha is placed in Tula Shastiamsa hemmed between the Surya and Ketu. The Papa-kartari
indicate the battles he fought. Papakartari = battles, conflicts.
Budha stands for trade and commerce and Tula is the sign of Trade, market, balance. The papa-
kartari caused his eventual failure as he failed to balance his desire to reclaim back the territory the
nation lost in WW1 and his greed of global expansion. Budha also got hammered by aspect of
Mangal and Shani from Mesha and Makara, which led him to eventual failure.
The D60 can show us just how far up a good karma can take us and just how far down a
bad one can take us.

Example, a neutral planet in the D1 but that planet being exalted in the d60 can give
better than expected results. Similarly a planet in Moolitrikona in D1 but Debilitated in
the D60 will give good, but not as good as expected. When you get them both pointing
the same direction, it can show extremes of fortune.
 It's a good point to consider, but Dr. Farr is right. It's best if we can understand the
basics of the birth chart first, and then learn how to systematically read the other vargas
(say up to the d30) and then we consider bhava cusps and houses and then we move on
to the D60.

Also, we must remember, the D60 is very sensitive to time. So unless we know the
precisest of times, it might not be accurate.

Hare Krishna

Dear Sunil,

You asked about the AK in D-60, Sanjay spoke about D-60 at the west

coast conference, i was just listening to those cds yesterday.

Sanjay mentioned few important points regarding D-60.

Why D-60 is given such importance in the varga schemes etc , because

it is the past birth and the associated karmas we are bring with us

definetely will have strong impact on our current sitution and this

can be see through navamsa chart.

He said to judge D-60 the same as rasi chart with excpetion of

slight difference with viewing of the AL, as we dotn take the AL from

previous birth with us!As a matter of fact in the class he explained

the sample charts for all info. WIth this info it was easier to

understand the karmas and explain phoebias , repeated bad dreams,etc.

But, Sanjay gave importance when viewing the D-60 especailly look to

the the 9th lord.

Look at the 9th lord from rasi and see where it was placed in D-60.

Also note the shastiamsa that the 9th lord is in.If it is in a good

or favorable shastiamsa them the person is bring ing with them some

good karmas.

I think i got it right when he said that even if a person has what
appears to be a good rasi chart if the 9th lord is in a bad

shastiamsa it can ruin the chart, as the 9th lord is where all the

blessings in life come from and if someones 9th lord is poorly placed

or from previous life is bring ing some bad thread though indications

in its Shastiamsa state,then chart is spoiled,

as far as i remember he mentioened to see WHERE and what sign the AK

was placed in in D-60,

Anyway, i will listen again and make sure i have the info straight

and get back to you on it later today.

(If anyone wants to buy the cds (with D-60 class and also theres

Punya chakra class etc contact me, or go to SJC web site.)

ALL the best

Shashtia 1: Nature of the

Shastiamsa Devatas
Given below are the names of the Shastiamsa Devatas. The order
below applies for only ODD signs. The order is reversed for EVEN
signs.

Although the Jyotish classics such as Brhat Parashari Hora

Shastra, Sarvartha Chintamani, Jataka Tattva etc. have given the
names of the Shastiamsa, there are some variations in the names
and also in the order. Irrespective, the real beauty of Shastiamsa is
in knowing their nature, Saumya or Krura, as this the first level
classification of the Shastiamsa. It is said that graha occupying
Saumya Shastiamsa bestow auspicious results, while those
occupying Krura Shastiamsa bestow inauspicious results. So far I
found that only Phaladeepika gave the nature of the Shastiamsa,
but it is silent on their names.

The nature of the Shashtias, Shubha or Krura is derived from

the meaning of the names. Since, in the Sanskrit verses, the names
are not numerically ordered, hence, when mapped to the 60
Shashtias, some assumptions are needed. This has caused
some inaccuracies to creep in various interpretations. For
instance, where to break up a word and when not to is difficult.
For instance take the world Kalinasa, are these two words, Kali
and Nasa as some have interpreted or just one word Kalinasa.

If you check this in many Jyotish classics, you will invariably find
many variations. So, which one is correct? To verify this, I have
verified this in BPHS Tr. Santhanam, Jataka Tattva by Mahadeva
Tr. by V Subhramaya Shastri, Sarvartha Chintamani by
Venkatesha Tr. B. Suryanarain Rao, Sarvartha Chintamani by JN
Bhasin and Phaladeepika by Mantresvara Tr. Gopesh Kumar Ojha.

I used these texts to determine the variations and went back and
forth to map them to the right Shastiamsa based on majority of the
opinion. In this process, I kept Maharishi Parasharas Brhat
Parashari Hora Shastra as the base text and used the other books
for verification. In some places I adjusted the names and gave my
final conclusion in the places I found variations. I have finally
concluded that, the mapping given in BPHS is the most authentic,
although there is a slim possibility of corruption of original texts in
the process of transmission over many ages.

There are few places where there are differences in the

classification of Shubha and Krura, primarily driven by incorrect
mapping. Just blindly following one of the texts and their
classification can be misleading. I have highlighted where I found
the differences in this Shubha/ Krura classification and give my
humble opinion. I am very much convinced with my classifications
regarding which other may differ. Since Jyotish is such as vast
field of Knowledge, differences in opinions are very much possible,
similar to many other discipline such as Psychology and Medicine.

LEGENDS: JT = Jataka Tattva, SC = Sarvartha

Chintamani Tr. B. Suryanarain Rao. PD= Phaladeepika.
BPHS 6.3341. Shashtia. To calculate the Shashtia
Lord ignore the Ri position of a Graha and take the degrees etc.
it traversed in that Ri. Multiply that figure by 2 and divide the
degrees by 12. Add 1 to the remainder, which will indicate the
Ri, in which the Shashtia falls. The Lord of that Ri is the
Graha, ruling the said Shashtia. In odd Ris the names of
Shashtias are 1. Ghora, 2. Rakshasa, 3. Deva, 4. Kubera, 5.
Yaksha, 6. Kinnara, 7. Bhrashta, 8. Kulaghna, 9. Garala, 10.
Vahni, 11. Maya, 12. Purishaka, 13. Apampathi, 14. Marutwan,
15. Kaala, 16. Sarpa, 17. Amrit, 18. Indu, 19. Mridu, 20. Komala,
21. Heramba, 22. Brahma, 23. Vishnu, 24. Maheshwara, 25.
Deva, 26. Ardra, 27. Kalinas, 28. Kshitees, 29. Kamalakar, 30.
Gulika, 31. Mrityu, 32. Kaala, 33. Davagni, 34. Ghora, 35. Yama,
36 Kantaka, 37. Suddha, 38. Amrita, 39. Purnachandra, 40.
Vishadagdha, 41. Kulanasa, 42. Vamshakshaya, 43. Utpata, 44.
Kaala, 45. Saumya, 46. Komala, 47. Sheetala, 48.
Karaladamshtra, 49. Candramukhi, 50. Praveen, 51. Kaalpavak,
52. Dhannayudh, 53. Nirmala, 54. Saumya, 55. Krura, 56.
Atisheetala, 57. Amrita, 58. Payodhi, 59. Brahman, 60.
Chandrarekha (InduRekha). The reverse is the order for even
Ris in so much, as these names are cased. Grahas in benefic
Shashtias produce auspicious, while the opposite is true in
case of Grahas in malefic Shashtias.
Phaladeepika 3.5. In the case of an odd sign, the Krura
Shashtia or unpropitious 1/60th portions are 1st, 2nd, 8th,
9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th,
39th, 40th, 42nd, 43rd, 44th, 48th, 51st, 52nd, and 59th. The rest
are Saumya or propitious ones. In the case of even signs, it is
reverse, that is-the Shashtia portions stated as Krura in the
odd signs are the propitious or Saumya ones in the even signs
and vice versa.

There are variations in Shashtias 2224, 2627, 34,

3658, 59 between the texts BPHS, Jataka Tattva and
Sarvartha Chintamani. Where there are differences, I
retained the one proposed by Maharishi Parashara in
BPHS, as that appears to be more appropriate. The #
mark against the Shashtia number indicate the one
having differences in names between different classics.
Although there are differences in the Shubha and Krura
nature between what is suggested by the Shashtia
name and that proposed by Phaladeepika, I have
retained the one proposed by Phaladeepika.
60 Shashtia and their nature
Shashtia 1. Ghora: Horrible, ghastly, extremely
fierce. Nature: KRURA.Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified
this as Krura.

Shashtia 2. Rakshasa: Demons, opposite of Deva, follower

of unrighteous path, sinful. Nature: KRURA. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 3. Deva: Brightness, light, follower of righteous

path. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified
this as Shubha.

Shashtia 4. Kubera: Lord of wealth. Kubera is the Lord of

Wealth and the god-king of the semi-divine Yakshas in Hindu
mythology. He is regarded as the regent of the North (Dik-pala),
and a protector of the world (Lokapala). His many epithets extol
him as the overlord of numerous semi-divine species and the
owner of the treasures of the world. Kubera is often depicted with
a plump body, adorned with jewels, and carrying a money-pot and
a club. Nature: SHUBHA Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 5. Yaksha: Protector of hidden wealth. Yaksha is

the name of a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent,
who are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and
tree roots. They appear in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist
literature. Nature: SHUBHA (?). According to BS Raos
interpretation of Sarvartha Chintamani, this is not Shubha. But
according to JK Ojha in Phaladeepika this is Shubha. I am more
inclined to agree with Phaladeepika and classify this as Shubha.
Why? Because Yakshas are the classes of creatures who are given
the task of guarding natural treasures. They dont harm anyone
unless provoked. In Mahabharata, in the episode of interaction
between Yakshas and Yudhisthira, the Pandavas were rendered
unconscious, to be revived later. They were not killed in a fight!
Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 6. Kinnara: Kinnaras are the Celestial musicians.

They are usually depicted by half human, half horse form, like
Centaur. Their character is clarified in the Adi Parva of the
Mahabharata, where they say: We are everlasting lover and
beloved. We never separate. We are eternally husband and
wife; never do we become mother and father. No offspring is seen
in our lap. We are lover and beloved ever-embracing. In between
us we do not permit any third creature demanding affection. Our
life is a life of perpetual pleasure. Nature:
SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as
Shubha.

Shashtia 7. Bhrashta: Bhrasta means corrupt. One who is

deviated from the righteous path, sinful, bereft of benevolent
qualities. Nature: KRURA (?). According to both BS Rao (SC)
and GK Ojha (PD) this is Shubha. However, in my humble
opinion, this should be considered as KRURA as one who is not on
the righteous path, how can that person be Shubha? Mantresvara
classified this as SHUBHA, hence this needs to be validated with
experimentation and research. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 8. Kulaghna: Destroyer (ghna) of ones lineage

(kula). Nature: KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified
this as Krura.

Shashtia 9. Garala: Poison. Nature:

KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.
Shashtia 10. Vanhi: Agni, Fire deity, one that
burns. Nature: KRURA.Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified
this as Krura.

Shashtia 11. Maya: Illusion, delusion, truth is

hidden. Nature: KRURA.Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified
this as Krura.

Shashtia 12. Purishak Disembodied soul, highly unsettled

and looking for peace. Jataka Tattva and Sarvartha Chintamani
have mentioned this as Preta-Purisha. Nature:
KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 13. Apampati: The deity of the oceans. Apa is

water and Pati is lord. Apampati means lord of water or Jala
tattva. Varuna is the another name for the lord of the waters (Jala
Tattva). JT: Varuna. SC: Apampati. Nature:
SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as
Shubha.

Shashtia 14. Marutvan: The deity of the air, the powerful

deities called marutas. The son of Air deity, Pavana i.e., Pavana
Putra Hanuman is also called Maruti. Nature:
SHUBHA Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 15. Kala: Time personified, kala-purusha, the

eternal destroyer. Why, the time personified should be depicted as
Krurua? Because Kala has no emotions, no sympathy and no
kindness. It manifests the karma with the hands of steel and
punishes those who has broken the Dharma. Shani is the
representation of Kala and is the most punishing Graha in the
Zodiac. Nature: KRURA Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified
this as Krura.
Shashtia 16. Sarpa: Serpents. JT: Ahi. SC:
Sarpa. Sarpas have many connotation, one who binds us to the
material universe (Rahu), one who is sleeping at the base of spine
(Kundalini) etc. The Ashlesha Nakshatra is also governed by the
Sarpas. The Sarpas are different from the Nagas, who have more
divine qualities, such as Sheshanaaga. Nature:
KRURA Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 17. Amrita: Nectar, Rejuvenation. JT: Chandra

amrita. This could mean Soma-Rasa or the juice oozing from
Chandra, which is indicative of refined taste, imagination and
creativity. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 18. Indu: Moon, Lunar deity, imagination,

creativity, mental faculties, delight. JT/SC: Chandra. Nature:
SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as
Shubha.

Shashtia 19. Mrdu: Soft, tender. JT: Mrdu. Nature:

SHUBHA.Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 20. Komala: Delicate, fragile, soft, subtle. JT:

Mrdu-komala.Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 21. Heramba: Hera + Amba i.e., follower of the

mother (Amba). JT/SC: Padma. Heramba also known as
Heramba Ganapati, is a five-headed iconographical form of the
Hindu god Ganesha (Ganapati). This form is particularly popular
in Nepal. Heramba is also known as the beloved son the Mother,
representative of Ganesha who was created by mother Parvati,
who sacrificed his life to protect his mother. Nature:
SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as
Shubha.

Shashtia 22#. Brahma: The creator. JT: Vishnu. SC:

Lakshmisha. Both JT and SC opine that this should be assigned
to Vishnu. Lakshmisha means, the lord (isha) of Lakshmi i.e., lord
Vishnu. In my opinion Final verdict: #22 Shastiamsa should
be Vishnu, Lakshmisha as suggested by Jataka Tattva and
Sarvartha Chintamani. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 23#. Vishnu: The sustainer. JT/SC:

Vaagisha. The lord speech (vac), who is no other than
mother Sarasvati. Final verdict: #23 Shastiamsa:
Vaagisha as suggested by Jataka Tattva and Sarvartha
Chintamani. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 24#. Maheshwara: The destroyer. JT/SC:

Digambara. Dig means directions and Ambara means sky. The
lord of all the direction and the sky. In Jainism, Digambara is a
sect who consider the space and the sky to be their clothes and
choose to remain naked, clad by the sky. Final verdict: #23
Shastiamsa: Digambara. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 25. Deva: The follower the lights. Deva is from

Diva which means day, or the time that is full of light. They are the
follower of the righteous path (dharma) and cause brightness in
everyones life. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 26#. Ardra: Wet, moist, very powerful like the

Rudras of the Ardra Nakshatra. JT: Ardra. SC: Indra. Even if
we consider this to belong to Indra, it represents power, opulence,
influence and also arrogance. The Rudras, although known to be
fierce, they are the protector of the Pranas. They protect things
from getting destroyed or decayed. Hence they should be
considered Shubha, although they are fierce in nature. Indra is the
devata for Thunder and Rains and is one who has full control over
the Indriyas (Sense Organs). Hence this Shastiamsa can indicate
the ability to self-control.Nature: SHUBHA. According to both
BS Rao and GK Ojha this is considered as Shubha. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 27#. Kalinasa: One who destroys strife. Kali

means strife and Nasa means destruction. Kalinasa is destruction
of Strife, hence should be considered highly auspicious. JT:
Nasha. If we consider only Nasha as suggested by Jataka Tattva,
then it cant be Shubha, as Naasha means destruction. However,
Phaladeepika classified the Shastiamsa 27 as Shubha, hence it can
only be Kalinasa. Nature: SHUBHA, Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 28. Kshitees: Kshitees means Horizon. This can

imply new beginning, new life, rising time of the Sun. This is
highly auspicious as this indicate new beginning or the moment
that is coming out of strife (black cloud) like a golden ray of
sunlight. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 29. Kamalakara: Creator of the Lotus i.e.,

Reclining Vishnu. As per the legend, Lord Brahma who sits on the
Lotus and symbolises creation of the material universe is created
from the Navel of Vishnu. This is supposed to be highly auspicious
as this represent the moment of creation where the Lotus is
coming out of the Navel of lord Vishnu, reclining in yoga nidra
(meditative state). Nature: SHUBHA Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.
Shashtia 30. Gulika: Gulika is an Upagraha and is
considered highly destructive. JT/SC: Mandastamaja i.e. Son of
Shani (Manda). Highly inauspicious. Nature:
KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 31. Mrityu: Highly destructive child (upagraha) of

Mangal (Upagraha). Highly inauspicious. Nature:
KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 32. Kala: Child (upagraha) of of Surya. Highly

inauspicious. Nature: KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 33. Davagni: Davagni is also known as Davanal

which means Forest fire, highly destructive and beyond anyones
control. Highly inauspicious. Nature: KRURA. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 34#. Ghora: Horrible, ghastly, extremely fierce.

Highly destructive. JT: Bhaya. SC: Yamakantaka: Child
(upagraha) of Guru. Highly inauspicious. Nature:
KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 35. Yama: The god of death, extreme suffering,

death like suffering. Yama is merciless and highly duty-bound. He
does not have mercy, kindness, empathy for one whose death is
near. He even didnt spare the life of Markendeya Maharishi, until
lord Shiva stepped in. This means that when Yama strikes, Lord
Shivas grace is the only remedy. Nature: KRURA.Mantresvara
in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 36#. Kantaka: Thorne in the foot, highly painful,

make you limp. JT: Kantaka. SC: Satya. In Sarvatha
chintamani, the author combines Yama and Kantaka into
Yamakantaka and the 36th Shastiamsa is Satya. However, in
Jataka Tattva and Parashara Horashastra, it is broken into Yama
(Bhaya in JT) and Kantaka, while Satya Shastiamsa is missing. In
my humble opinion, Yama and Kantaka should be
separate which is as per BPHS and JT. The Satya shastiamsa
(#36) mentioned by SC should be assigned to the next shastiamsa.
The SC next shastiamsa Amrita should be pushed further to #37 to
align with BPHS and JT. Final verdict: #36 Shastiamsa:
Kantaka.Nature: SHUBHA (?). According to both BS Rao and
GK Ojha, this is a shubha Shastiamsa, which also tallies with
Phaladeepika. However, if the name be Kantaka, then this should
ideally be Krura. If this Shastiamsa to be taken as Shubha, then
there must be a hidden meaning to the term Kantaka. Mantresvara
in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 37#. Suddha: Pure, serene. JT: Sudha. SC:

Amrita. My opinion: SC Shastiamsa Satya should be assigned
here and Amrita should be assigned to #37. Final verdict: #37
Shastiamsa: Suddha, Satya. Nature:
SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as
Shubha.

Shashtia 38#. Amrita: Nectar. JT: Amrita. SC:

Paripurna SC Shastiamsa Amrita should be assigned here.
Paripurna should be assigned to next #39 to align with BPHS, JT
Purnachandra and Purnendu. Final verdict: #38 Shastiamsa:
Amrita. Nature: SHUBHA Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 39#. Purna Candra: Full moon, highly

auspicious and benevolent. JT: Purnendu. SC:
Vishapradagdha. SC Shastiamsa Vishapradagdha should be
assigned to #40 to align with BPHS and JT. Final verdict: #39
Shastiamsa: Purna Candra. Nature: KRURA (?). According
to both BS Rao and GK Ojha, this is Krura. However, the name
suggests that this should be SHUBHA, as full moon is highly
auspicious. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 40#. Vishadagdha: Fully poisoned, cant be

resuscitated. JT: Visha. SC: Kulanasa. SC Shastiamsa Kulanasa
should be assigned to #41 to align with BPHS and JT. Final

KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 41#. Kulanasa: Destroyer of lineage. JT: Kali.

SC: Mukhya. SC Shastiamsa Mukhya should be combined and
assigned to this Shastiamsa #41. Here BPHS and JT are aligned.
The JT #41 and #42 should be combined to get Kalinasha. Final
verdict: #41 Shastiamsa: Kulanasa,
Kulanasamukhya. Nature: SHUBHA (?). According to both
BS Rao and GK Ojha this is SHUBHA. The name Kulanaasa means
destruction of the Kula or lineage; how can this be Shubha? In my
humble opinion, this should ideally be classified as KRURA.
Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 42#. Vamshakshaya: Destroyer of lineage. JT:

Nasha. SC: Vamshakshaya. JT #43 Vamshakshaya should be
assigned here. Final verdict: #42 Shastiamsa:
Vamshakshaya. Nature: KRURA. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 43#. Utpata: Destructive, unsettling,

revolutionary. JT: Vamshakshaya. SC: Utpata. I think JT #44
Utpata should be assigned here. Final verdict: #43
Shastiamsa: Utpata. Nature: KRURA. Mantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 44#. Kala: Who is in the form of Kala or the time

personified. JT: Utpata. SC: Kalarupa. I think JT #45
Kalarupa should be assigned here. Final verdict: #44
Shastiamsa: Kala or Kalarupa. Nature:
KRURA.Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 45#. Saumya: Gentle, auspicious or Budha

(Mercury). JT: Kalarupa. SC: Saumya. I think JT #46 Saumya

Saumya. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 46#. Komal: Fragile, delicate. JT: Saumya. SC:

Mrdu. Soft. I think JT #47 Mrdu should be assigned here. Final

Shubha.

Shashtia 47#. Sheetala: Cooling, soothing, life giving. JT:

Shashtia 48#. Karaladamshtra: Big tooth jutting out of

#49 Damstrakarale should be assigned here. Final verdict: #48
Shastiamsa: Karaladamshtra, Damstrakarale. Nature:
KRURA Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 49#. Candramukhi: Seductive facial appearance

of Chandra. JT: Damstrakarale. SC: Seethabja. According to
JN Bhasin SC edition, this is Indumukha. Both of JT and SC
Indumukha should be assigned here. Final verdict: #49
Shastiamsa: Chandramukha, Indumukha. Nature:
SHUBHA.Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.
Shashtia 50#. Praveen: Adept, expert. JT/SC:
Indumukha(x). I think this should be Praveena. JT seemed to
have missed this one. In SC JN Bhasin edition, this is mentioned
as Praveen only. Final verdict: #50 Shastiamsa: Praveen.
Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this
as Shubha.

Shashtia 51#. Kaalpavaka: Shiva or Rudra in the form of

destroyer of time. Kalapavaka is also called Kalagni as Pavaka is
the another name for Agni. See below the Shiva prarthana
(prayer). JT: Kalagni. SC: Poorna(x).Namaste astu Bhagavan
Vishveshvaraya Mahadevaya Trayambakaya Tripurantakaya
TrikagniKalaya KalagniRudraya Nilakantaya Mrityunjayaya
Sarvesvaraya Sadhashivaya Sriman Mahadevaya Namah. I think
the word Poorna in SC BS Rao edition is misleading. The is
clarified in SC JN Bhasin edition to be Kalagni. Final verdict:
#51 Shastiamsa: Kaalpavaka, Kalagni. Nature: KRURA
(?). According to BS Rao this is Shubha while according to GK
Ojha this is Krura. The name is destructive as this is implying
burning of the older time, albeit for creation of something new.
Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 52#. Dandayudha: Wielder of the Guru Danda

(stick hold by the preceptor of the spiritual lineage). Kartikeya is
known as Dandayudhapani. JT: Dandayudha. SC:
Kalagnya(x). I think SC Kalagnya should be assigned to #51.
Here BPHS and JT are aligned. Final verdict: #52
Shastiamsa: Dhannayudha, Dandayudhapani. Nature:
KRURA(?).According to both BS Rao and GK Ojha, this is Krura.
However, the name suggests lord Kartikeya, who is the giver of all
Siddhis; how can it be Krura? This can however be interpreted as
Guru wielding the staff, to punish the evil doers. Hence, this
Shastiamsa could be punishing. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Krura.
Shashtia 53#. Nirmala: Clean, pure, unadulterated. JT:
Nirmala. SC: Dandayudha(x). My opinion: SC Dandayudha
should be assigned to #52. BPHS and JT are aligned. Final
verdict: #53 Shastiamsa: Nirmala. Nature: SHUBHA
(?) In Sarvartha Chintamani, Prof. BS Rao didnt include this into
the list of Shubha Shastiamsa, but according to GJ Ojha this is
Shubha. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 54#. Saumya: Auspicious, gentle, tender, soft,

benevolent. JT: Shubha. SC: Nirmala(x). Final verdict: #54

Ashubha. SC: Shubha(x). Final verdict: #55 Shastiamsa:
Krura, Ashubha. Nature: SHUBHA(?). According to both BS
Rao and GK Ojha, this is SHUBHA. However, the name suggests
that this should be KRURA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 56#. Atisheetal: Very cooling. JT: Sheetal. SC:

Ashubha(x).Final verdict: #56 Shastiamsa: Atisheetal,
Sheetal, Atishubha. Nature: SHUBHA (?). According to
both BS Rao this is Krura while as per GK Ojha, this is SHUBHA.
Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 57#. Amrita: Nectar, life giving, rejuvenating. JT:

Sudha. SC: Atishubha(x). Final verdict: #57 Shastiamsa:
Amrit, Sudha, Atishubha.Nature: SHUBHA (?). According
to BS Rao, this is Krura while as per GK Ojha, this is SHUBHA.
This cant be Krura as Amrita rejuvenates life and protects the
Prana. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.
Shashtia 58. Payodhi: Ocean, boundless water. JT:
Payodhi. SC: Sudha-payodhi. Final verdict: #58
Shastiamsa: Payodhi. Nature: SHUBHAMantresvara in
Phaladeepika classified this as Shubha.

Shashtia 59#. Bhramana: Travel, moving, non static, lack

stability, fatigue. JT: Bhramana. SC: Dyumani. Final
verdict: #59 Shastiamsa: Bhramana Nature:
KRURA. According to BS Rao, this is Shubha while as per GK
Ojha, this is Krura. In ancient times, wandering, moving to a
foreign land etc. was not considered auspicious as one has to leave
family and kinsmen behind. Travel is also associated with
wandering, causing fatigue, hence not considered auspicious.
Mantresvara in Phaladeepika classified this as Krura.

Shashtia 60. Candrarekha: Indu is Moon and Rekha is

line. JT/SC:Indurekha. Many classify this as full moon
however, that does not appear to be right. In my view this is the
Krsna Chaturdasi Moon which appears as a thin line. This adorns
the head of lord Shiva and is highly auspicious for Shiva Puja.
Maha Shivaratri is celebrated on Krsna Chaturdasi in the Magha
month. Final verdict:#59 Shastiamsa: Candrarekha,
Indurekha. Nature: SHUBHA. Mantresvara in Phaladeepika
classified this as Shubha.
