1. Jupiter in Taurus, the Moon in Scorpio, Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Capricorn,Mercury along with Rahu in Pisces, Saturn and Ketu in Virgo, the Sun in Aries, and

the rising sign being Cancer- with which a horoscope, please discuss the life events of

the native concerned.

So asks Goddess Parvati.

2. SageKausika replies: This kind of horoscope belongs to a male child. The house will be

in a street spread from east to west. The house itself will be south-facing. There will be a

temple in the east devoted to Bhadra Kaali, and other in the west being the abode ofGoddess Mariamma (a form of Sakthi, worshipped by populace in the Southern India).

Further, there will be Ganesa's temple in the north-eastern direction. A forest and a river

could be found in the south. In a village so described will the native take birth in 2nd

room situated on the left side of the house with a collapsible roof - (meaning the roof will

not be so strong).

3. The native's father would have a fair-complexioned physique, body could be thin. He

would endlessly be troubled by bilious complaints. He would be good to all and would be

charitable in disposition. He would bear no enmity for anyone. He would feed the poor.

Being rich, he would not underestimate anybody by caste. Being civilized he would be

praised by his kinsfolk. He would be affectionate to wife, would not have a brother-in-

law and would earn a lot of land properties.

4. The father of the native would have many servants. He would not be in royal servicebut would be ever intent upon increasing his landed properties. He would be a devotee of

Lord Siva. Although he would have insignificant inheritance from his ancestors, he would

possess it with reverence. He would have a defective finger, would lend his ears to others,

but would be free from greed or evil thought. He would suffer from piles, and would

have some defects in the body.

5. His illnesses would arise due to the sins committed in the previous birth as well as in

this birth. He would in the current birth join his wife disregarding (even) the two Thithis -

Ekadasi and Amavasya. As a result, he would be afflicted by-sexual or urinal disorders in thecurrent birth.

6. The native would have one long-living co-born out of eight. He will be the 6th issue of

the family.

7. The subject will be always happy. He will increase his-landed properties, be fond of

milk, curd, ghee, etc. and be free from confusions in thinking. He will renovate his house.

He will become famous for his good acts.

8. He will be well-educated, fond of his spouse, will help others, will own quadrupeds, be

truthful, virtuous and be fair in complexion. He will possess a lean body, will walk fast,

be endowed with presence of mind, pure-hearted, and will visit pilgrim centers. There

will be marked rhythms in his speech. He will be fond of others women.

9. The native will marry a girl born in the same village, from among his kinsmen. He

will have a son and three daughter endowed with longevity. He will however lose three

(more) children.

10. The native's mother will be black in complexion, with delicate body. She would be

very fortunate, would bring up children well and be endowed with virtues.

11. She would have one brother and six sisters. Two of the said co-born would see growth

of their race (i.e. will acquire male progeny), while the other five would have destruction

of their races (i.e. will be bereft of male issues).

12. At this point of discussions, Maharishi Jaimini raises from his seat to query as to how

this Cancer native having Mercury, significator of maternal uncle, in the company ofRahu, in aspect to Saturn, the 8th lord could have a maternal uncle.


3/6

13. SageViswamitra (or Kausika) clarifies: Before the birth of the native, the maternal uncle

would die in a boat accident. So there is nothing wrong in inferring that there being a

maternal uncle. Further, the family of the native's mother would not grow (by children

and grand children). Other Sages render their agreement to Viswamitra's conclusion.

14. Since the maternal uncle in question would be short-lived, his home would collapse;his entire properties would be destroyed.

15. The native in his last birth belonged to Chola (or Chozha) Kingdom. He had

abundant properties, had children, did a lot of charity and was devoid of any questionable

qualities.

16. In the present life, he would lose his father in the 30th year. The native's VenusDasa,

Moon bhukti will prove fatal for father. The native will lose his mother in the 39th year.

Then, he will be in Venus dasa, Saturn bhukti.

17. The native will die in his 63rd year, with transit Sun in Gemini, in Sukla Paksha, on

Chaturthi (4th day- of a lunar fortnight).

18. His next birth will be in Virinji kingdom, in a family of merchants. Then also, he will

have wide business activities, will highly prosper, and be famous.

19. DeviParvathi wants to know of the remedies for the illness of the father of the native

in the present birth.- SageViswamitra goes ahead with his delineation: He should have

Nava Graha Pooja performed at home as prescribed by Sastras. (The text further

suggests preparation of some traditional medicines. I am not able to give exact English

terms for the same). If these remedies remain undone, the native's father will only

increase his diseases.

20. The native's wealth will grow like waxing Moon. Hence he will experience no

poverty. There will be no danger to his family. The family will prosper gradually. He

will be of great help to others. His paternal properties will be expanded, and the native

will himself earn abundant landed properties. The net value of the native's properties willbe equal to two thousand gold coins.

21. At birth the native will have a balance of 16y 7m 6d ruled by Mercury dasa

(Vimsottari) in -Mercury dasa (itself) the native will construct a wonderful house. His

co-born will also acquire landed properties. Day by day, the native will experience

auspicious events. He will be troubled by some sickness, but the same will not be in

existence for long. The native will have misunderstandings with his relatives on account

of wealth.Discussions in the Nadi are thus over.

Notes by R Santhanam:ow, I am giving below some editorial notes for the various original Nadi's

reading, marked by the respective paragraph numbers as marked by me in the

original readings.

1. The translator of this original Nadi work fixed the date of birth for the native of the

horoscope given in the original Nadi as 23rd April 1894, with the following Navamsa

diagram:

2. The surroundings of birth village described in the text are difficult to be explained by

ordinary astrological rules, particularly without planetary degrees. A certain degree rising

at birth when related to the ascendant lord seems to give such clues, as could be seen in

Deva Keralam (Chandra Kala Nadi), -which has been published in three volumes with

my English translation & notes.

3. Thin-bodied father: Debilitated Mercury in 9th, while the 9th lord is aspected by theMoon in debility. Further when the significator Sun goes to the 12th place from the 9th

lord, the father of the native may have weak body.

4. Defective finger to father: When the 3rd counted from the sign occupied by the 9th lordis weak, in debility etc. one can foresee some deficits about leg, hands, fingers, etc for

father.1

5. Sexual union: Should be prohibited on Ekadasi (of both the fortnights) and onAmavasya (New Moon) day. Otherwise, such unions will cause venereal/urinary

disorders.

13rd from 9th lord: 9th Lord is Jupiter, 3rd from it would be Cancer, it is aspected by Rahu and debilitated Moon, lord of

Cn is Moon who is debilitated. - SA

5/6

6. Co-born: Six Co-born are said to be lost by the native. Note nodal influence on the 3rd,including on Saturn-Mercury. Saturn as 8th lord in the 3rd in Virgo is-generally capable

of causing loss of co- born or grief on account of them.

7. Well-educated: 4th from ascendant is aspected by exalted Sun; the Moon has Venus inthe 4th from her.Fond of spouse & trouble-free marriage: Exalted Mars in the 7th aspected by Jupiter.Further,- if Mars is alone and is exalted in Cancer

2, there is no Kuja Dosha. There is also

an aphorism in Brihad Daivagna Mano Ranjanam3, specifically referring to Mars in the 7th in

aspect to Jupiter causing no matrimonial harm.

But the longevity of spouse is not known. Note Venus in 8th from ascendant and in a

sign prior to the one jointly occupied by Rahu and Mercury, the latter in debility.

Speech: Venus aspecting the 2nd house gives one a talent of the poet in speech. So alsothe strength of the 2nd lord Sun.

Further, Venus in the 2nd house, for any ascendant including Leo, is quite favorable for

Matrimonial harmony and financial progress. Such a native will also be highly educated.

Visits to Pilgrim Centers:Nodes connected with the 9th house (or with the 9th lord) will causepilgrimages.

This Yoga is also favourable for spiritual learning, studies Guru Kula Ashrams (in the hermitages

of traditional preceptors) and for acquisition of knowledge in Sanskrit, Vyakarana (grammar),

Meemamsa (philosophy), Tarka (Logics), Tantra (worship of Siva and Sakti and obtainment of

super-natural powers) and such other subjects of ancient origin.

Fond of other women: When Venus is in the 8th in Aquarius: (or Capricorn), the personwill be ill-related to others' women. Even if Venus is in such a Navamsa, of Saturn or be in

a sign of Mars5

the native will have illicit ties.

9. Marrying a relative: The 7th lord Saturn aspected by Mercury (the significator of one'skinsfolk in general, and a maternal uncle's progeny in particular).

2Presume this is a typo in Shri Santhanams notes, it should Mars exalted in Capricorn - SA3This work is available in Hindi language in print, in the Saptarishis Astrology book shop. Unfortunately most scholars

have ignored this work. It contains special verses on retrogression which is not available in any other work. Aprofessional astrologer in Delhi was given this text by us and he said he has never read a book like this. - SA4Beautiful Point by Santhanam - SA5

Important Point as seen in the chart of Pablo Picaso and at times seen with Venus in Navamsa of Mercury or Venus

with Mer with Rahu in D9 as in the case of Marilyn Monroe -SA


6/6

10. Loss of Children: Debilitated Moon in 5th house; Saturn Aspecting the 5th househaving debilitated Moon; significator Jupiter is related to debilitated Moon by aspect.

13. Boat accident to Maternal Uncle: The Sage conducting the analysis explains the reasonsufficiently. We can take a clue from this that if Mercury signifying maternal uncles is

in a watery sign related to malefics (like Rahu, Saturn, Mars etc.), danger through waterbe predicted for a maternal relative.

16. Fatality to Father: Saturn placed in the 3rd house will complete one round in about 30years and will come back to 3rd house (natal sign occupied by him), aspecting the 9th,

around 30th year. Venus placed in the 8th house is bound to bring grief in family in his

dasa. The Moon becomes sub period lord being related to Jupiter by aspect. Jupiter is 9th

lord.6

Fatality to Mother: A planet in the 4th from the Moon is the prime killer of mother.Here Venus is also the dasa lord. In the 39th year, transit Saturn will be roughly in the

7th aspecting the 4th from ascendant. Note Mars, the 5th lord (death-dealer for mother)

is in 7th.7

Native's Death: Is said to be in 63rd year. At that time he will be in Mars dasa, Saturnbhukti. When at birth Saturn is in 11th from Moon, he will come on to the Moon sign in

around 63rd year. Saturn bhukti incurrence is also significant. We can get vital clues

about death, based on Saturn's movements with reference to natal Moon Of course thatwill be one of the clues.8

20. Wealthy: For Cancer ascendant, Ruchaka Yoga caused by Mars will bestow a greatdeal of wealth, in preference to other ascendants concerned. Even in case of Aries, this

yoga gives limited effects concerning wealth.

In practice, Pancha Maha Purusha Yogas like Ruchaka, in the modern context are meant

for financial acquisitions, though not for literal kingship as applied to royal-folk, in olden

days.

6Using BCP, one gets 6H of akala mrityu (untimely death) being activated in 30 th year. 6L is Jup in the 11H being in

the 3rd from 9H of father and 2nd of maraca from Sun. Now Father is Sun, using that as Asc, use BCP, 30th year would bethe 6th from Sun which has Saturn Ketu (two dire malefics) whose lord Mer is in the 9H of father. Even from arudha ofthe 9H will also give same results in 30th year. - SA7

Using BCP, 39th year would be 3rd H where Saturn Ketu is situated in the house of death of 3rd house which is also

the 12th from 4H of mother & 8th from 4L (so double whammy). One can use other Ascs and arrive at the same result. SA

8Using BCP, 63rd year would be 3rd House where Saturn and Ketu are sitting in the house of death, aspected by 12th LMer. - SA
