ith prayers to Lord Ganapathi & submission at the holy feet of Lomush Rishi
we start this work to give us success in this venture of understanding his work,
as it was he who first revealed the usage of degrees to Sujanma, though at this
stage we are unable to discern the methods mentioned by him. We pray to
Lomush Rishi to kindly grant us knowledge on this by the end of this paper or to the readers
who can in turn decipher and decode a correct understanding of the works of Lomesha Rishi
as mentioned at the end in the Appendix.
Background

wo yrs back in July-Nov 04, when we had finished working on Patel Sahebs

exposition of the Hora Sara Method, we had tangentially then thought of the usage
of degs. At that time due to no encouragement from seniors very little testing on

Some call Lomesha, some Lomesh, some Lomush Rishi

Right now it is 2010 May, this article was written many years back, most of the things have been
retained except some editing done, rough language removed and explanations made more simpler than
what it was though a better writer would explain it more lucidly for sure.

Not yet published anywhere except circulated in private to close friends Jay Weiss, S V Shastry,
Norah Nasturas, Juliana Swanson, Robert Koch, Finn Wandhal, Phyllis Chubb, Margaret George,
Vinay Patwardhan & so on years back. Also most of our articles before the start of Saptarishis
Astrology were always circulated to the above mentioned astrologers & many other friends so that we
could get feedback of theirs. If some does not give feedback positive or negative, we never bother to send
them any material ever as feedback is what helps growth in astrology.

this theory was done. What was the basis of the testing?. Say why is Ven or any other
planet at only 17 degs or 20 degs why not at 19 or 24 degs, at cases navamsa (the Fruit of a
Chart) also doesnt change so whats the use e.g a planet in 2 deg Aries or 3 deg will still be in
Aries Navamsa but do the planets behave differently at different degs. John Thomas
4
(Charubel 1826-1908) & Sepharial have done valuable work in their books on nature of
different degs, but here we had a theory which as usual was rejected instantly by great
astrologers who had spent 30-40 yrs in astrology. The theory was simple as we were working
on nadi for a long time in everything we could see years, so our theory was The degree of any
planet represents the years of ones life. There are only 30 degs in a sign so all years of life
cannot be covered, there might be a method to go beyond the 30 yrs but is not the scope of
this paper though it has been adequately touched in this article.
One of the reasons astrologers of repute do not share their techniques is due to the fear
of constant criticism betted out in forums and astrological circles and often these criticisms
get personal at the end of the day. As a result many good techniques have never come out.
Few years back in 2006 we sat with mentor in one of the 5 star hotels in Mumbai with a
session that normally lasts 12-14 hours. When we presented this very same article to Mentor
he dismissed it saying thats not the full technique its already there in BPHS. We said we
have not found it in BPHS, he said Venkateshwar Press BPHS, but as it is in Hindi our lack
of the language has till date restricted us from reading it or other works in Hindi. Scribe still
remembers Mentors words If you cannot read Hindi you will miss out great many things in
astrology this is so true since today most astrologers on forums and websites are products
of English books of astrology of last 20 years and they do not have the real knowledge base
of what Hindi belt astrologers in India have, something this scribe also lacks.
Finally we got a friend to translate that chapter in BPHS but by the time it came to us
our interests were drawn to other areas of astrology. The story goes like this, that particular
chapter in BPHS of Venkateshwar Press (one of the oldest BPHS and Venkateshwar Press
was one of the most reputed publishers in olden days), has been rejected by scholars since
that chapter is supposed to be by Lomesh Rishi to Sujanma and how can it form a part of
Rishi Parasaras BPHS. We like mentor likes to look at it the other way, if there is a verse
even if it was wrongly inserted in BPHS by the writers of BPHS of Venkateshwar Press, a
verse needs to be looked at it from its astrological point of view and not to spend decades
discussing whether it was a part of BPHS or not. Thats the difference between Mentor and
Scholars, scholars waste time arguing mentor spent the last 25 years going from master to
master trying to understand that chapter. As per mentor the late authority on astrology Shri
Nanakchand Sharma from Delhi who was originally from Lahore knew the secret of this
chapter and knew how to use it in practice. He promised to mentor that he would teach him
this but it never happened. Late Shri Nanakchand Sharma had learnt astrology from his
Guru in Lahore and mentor once asked him that timing of events is not properly happening
via dasas. The old man then replied that the original purpose of dasas is not entirely timing
of events (this is contrary to popular knowledge till date) and for timing of events he told mentor
that mentor should study the chapter of Lomesh Rishi given in Venkateshwar Press BPHS
(this was prior published to Sitaram Jhas BPHS). Sharmaji said that this chapter was actually
from Lomesha Samhita and his own Guru had taught him many things from Lomesha

Samhita and BPHS (that was published in Lahore much before Venkateshwar Press edition5), the
chapter in Venkateshwar Press BPHS on Lomesh Rishi was just the tip of the iceberg and
the real thing is in Lomesh Samhita which is a super fine method for timing of events than
any known. Must digress here and talk more on Sharma ji, well Mr. K N Rao & many old
timers know of Shri Nanakchand Sharma and one of our team member Mr Anuj Bahl from
Delhi, at a very young age of 8 or so was saved by Sharmaji via remedial measures. Mr
Sharma knew by memory all verses of BPHS & Jaimini Sutras and as per authentic sources
he was the finest in Jaimini Sutras, mentor had actually gone to him for studying cure for
cancer as a Lama from Tibet who had done similar work was staying with Mr Sharma.
Sharmajis knowledge of Ayurveda and tantra was so great & he was often consulted by the
ministers of Delhi, he was also appointed by Govt of India for the Ayus Project and given
land in Delhi for Ayurveda. The end is he could never share the real secrets of this chapter
of BPHS with mentor and mentor says that after travelling all over India he never met a
person who had even dwelled on this chapter in a serious form.
Coming back as the original idea was written by Lomesha Rishi and there is no
original idea or original research though many claim it since everything that is to be is
already there in the Ethereal Universe we are just antennas grasping it hence the title of this
article is given as Lomesha Anshak Paddathi giving credit to the Rishi though the
technique matches with only one or two verses of the Rishi. Anshak means degree and
Paddathi means Methodology. The reason this is being released now is since due to some
grace we have been successful in removing few chapters of the most ancient manuscript ever
which is the Lomesha Samhita which has been duly translated by Veneet Kumar and
manuscript donated by a great astrologer friend who truly believes in serving the rishis
rather than himself, he hails from outside of Maharashtra and wishes to remain anonymous.

Lomesha Anshak Paddathi

Theory 1
1. The Degree of every planet corresponds to a specific Age in the life of a native & would
give results according to either its main karakatwa or lordship from Asc/Moon/ Arudha
Lagna/Specific Point in the Horoscope
Theory 2
2. The number corresponding to the deg of the planet is the age in actual i.e based on
formula 1 deg is 1 yr e.g. 25 deg of Ven is the 25th year of life, 0 deg is 1st year & so on
Theory 3
3. The Deg of a planet is to be treated in 3 ways
a) If planet is at 25.30 degs it is the 25th year in ones life event concerning it will happen
b) If planet is at 25.30 degs we round off the degs to also the 26th year
c) The minutes of a planet can be calculated into months e.g 60 mins = 365 days, so 1 min
= 6.08 days but for simplicity we shall ignore this for now.

We have tried for long to get this Lahore edition of BPHS but all our efforts via our friends in
Pakistan have failed and do not even know if such an edition existed.

If an event is seen in 25th year then we predict it as 25/26th year a similarity often
found in nadi readings
Theory 4,5,6,7
4. Yogas have to be fruitfully used with the degs
5. Planets in different houses are in a constant state of chemical reaction of plusses & minuses
this has to be understood subtly & well.
6. Couple of Planets in a single house will function in an intricate manner of pluses & minuses
e.g. Ven, Mer, Sun all 3 in one house then Ven deg will denote age at one event & so on
for Mer & Sun and at the same time Ven deg + Mer deg= another event, Ven deg +Mer
deg + Sun deg = another event & so on. Use aspects on planets also to give another event.
7. A malefic when used in addition (above) either delays event by corresponding year (deg)
so we add malefics deg and/or like in Longevity concept of traditional astrology it
reduces the years of ones life this has to be used judiciously.
8. Retrograde planets are to be treated differently, since they are moving backwards. Rahu
Ketu are constantly retrograde so it has to be treated 2 ways e.g. if Rahu is at 0.30 deg then
it is in its 1st deg and/or also it has already covered 29.30 degs in that sign so it is in its 30th
deg= 30th year.
There are many more rules which we shall see in the examples to follow, also in the
examples one would see a fine mix of Fixing Astrology (Match fixing astrology!!!) & Fast
Food Astrology but the intention of this write up is to induce further research & fine tuning
in this topic. Match Fixing Astrology has two sides to it one the obvious for which most
astrologers are accused & other side is it helps in Development or Discovery of Techniques at
times the mixture of it can at times become Observational Astrology which is far greater
than any form & is the Guru of Gurus.
The following is not a mathematical method but an intuitive method hence a more advanced
student can get greater success & precision in this is scribes experience.
Degrees are everywhere but finding the planet/s that cause the event is the key to any
prediction & even in this method. More the mastery of this science the better one would be than this
attempt below.
Logic can be the greatest asset of an astrologer and yet the greatest enemy of an astrologer,
honest brilliant predictors know when it is the greatest enemy of an astrologer whereas the scholar
only lands up misguiding himself and others with logic whose base is 200 books & not 20,000
manuscripts of our ancients. Only when you learn at the feet of the Guru by giving your life to the
Guru you learn when to use or ask for logic and when not to. Extreme Usage of intuition is only
required when full clarity on technique or full technique is not there (like this one).
Once you master this technique you can use this technique to fine tune the time of birth very
accurately is our experience since years, this technique and our D 60 technique has proved to us a
superior technique than any other birth time rectification technique.

Example 1: Kerala astrologer & Saptarishis Astrology Team Member

We shall deal with only one or two planets in each charts (except detailed in Ex.8) to illustrate
method & also to add variety. Native of this chart is an advanced sadhak, his father &
grandfather were well known, both were excellent Vedic scholars adept in mantra shastras.

Mantra initiation at age 13 & 10.

Jup is exalted in lagna, its deg is 12:01 so it is in the 13th deg of the sign, which means
either 13th year of life or after the 12th year a event concerning Jup should happen
5H is the house of mantra, the 9th house (5th from 5th) is the house of Advanced Mantra,
Jup is dispositor of father (9H) & Ketu who is 5L of mantra sits in 9H, Jup is also exalted
so the native in the age of 136 was passed a very secret (ketu) & advanced (9L Jup)
mantra (Jup) by his father (9H). This was reported to scribe as a turning point in natives
life.
Now see rule/theory 6 & apply here, as Jup is in 1H & Asc deg is also there, so we can
add or subtract both to get some event. Asc-2.50=3 years & Jup is 12.00. Subtract both &
we get 12-3=10, in the 10th year the native was given the first mantra initiation by father
(Jup is 9L & Jup is mantra)
Death of Father 3H 18th year
3H is maraca for father from 7H of father, for those who use 10H as father, 6H from 10H
is the house of Unnatural Death or Akala Mrityu a concept not utilized by astrologers for
3H.
Sun stands for father & it is at 21.36 deg which means 22nd year & from 9H of father it is
6L in 7H of maraca & 3H of death from lagna
Rahu stands for dramatic event & is in maraca house for father & is also 8L in 3H
signifying someones death & 12L in 7H from 9H of father (we can also use 10H for
6

You can use BCP and 13th year will come in the 1H where exalted Jupiter sits & it is lord of 9H of
advanced mantra.

father). Rahu is in 3.04 deg so either 3rd year or 4th year, minutes being only 0.04 it leans
more towards 3rd year
Mer is 12L & 3L from Asc & 7L in 7H of maraca from 9H, Mer is 27.38 deg=28th year
So out of these 3 one of them or all of them in various permutations & combinations the
event for father will happen i.e Sun(22)+Rahu(4)+Mer (28) or Sun Rahu(malefic) or
various other combinations

Sun = 22nd year

- Rahu= 4th year
==========
Total = 18th year (19th July, 1996)of this natives life his father expired suddenly which
was in a fashion only true astrologers do it, he did his evening prayers, said GoodBye
to his family members who were curious as to why he is saying that & then he slept
never to wake up. The native further adds that We used to do the Nithyapuja to the
goddess. The puja ended at 8.30 pm as usual. He sat in the swing and started to speak
with my younger sister on a particular stotra "Vishnubhujangam". It is one of
beautiful poems composed by Shankaracharya on his mother's deathbed. It is mere
coincidental that, on that day, we recited the same shloka. :)

Cancer to Mother
Ven is the 4L in the 4H with maraca Mars 7L & 2L from 4H & 4L, Mars is blood among
many things, Ven deg is 27.37 which means 27th year or 28th year an event in the life of
natives mother is expected
If we add year of birth Oct 1978 to 27th (year) we get Oct 2005, well in Nov 2005 (28th
year) this scribe received emotional call from a Loving Son that his mother is suffering
from Blood Cancer & he is rushing to his native place. The chart owner performed a
special Mrityunjaya pooja himself & miraculously within 2 days his mother was out of
danger to the astonishment of doctors.
Sat powerful 3rd aspect which either destroys or growth aspect is on this Ven Mars in
4H, if we take growth aspect then the white blood cells growth happened which is blood
cancer. {The chart bearer after reading this added Why this Saturn's 3rd aspect is growth
oriented? an explanation came to my mind is Saturn is aspecting from the 11th an upachaya or
house of growth (3, 6, 10, 11)}.
We can spend lifetimes arguing as to why we didnt add the degs of Ven & Mars or instead
simply use this technique & predict spectacularly with intuition, this scribe has no answer to
the above dilemma except that one event will be at the age of Ven & another at the age of
Mars & another two by adding or deducting Ven & Mars degs. The issue is how an astrologer
uses intuition with the above technique, stares at the grahas and the grahas will talk back otherwise
why does anyone write ones intuition has to be strong and at the same time ask for logic as to why this
or why this not ?
Gain of Job

 Scribe knows that the native works for Govt in a state away from his home state, so
scribe asked him on the basis of degree of Sun (21.36) if he got this stable job in govt at
the age of 22, he confirmed it. Note Sun is the 2L of income placed in the 3H of away
from home & 12th from 4H.
Additionally the native said that at the age of 18 he got his first job, scribe immediately
looked at his D10 & saw 5L of new opportunity Moon is placed in the 2H of income with
swagrahi Mars, forming a chandra mangala yoga with A6 (service) & Gulika
(unhappiness/change) & Moon is in D10 is at 17.45 deg7 = 18th year alongwith being Amk
(career) so an event in career can be expected at the age of 18 (Job timing with this method is
more intricate & complex than simplified version above, young readers should not get impressed
with the above.)
Note: Jaimini Karakas is to be Only Last as an aid in determining nature of event, every time it
wont work the same way it is to be used in vim dasa.
Example 2: Just Married & Divorced
Before we go on to the next chart, let us think that to master just one method of timing like
say Vimshottari Dasa it takes one years if at all one masters, that too with so many books
and commentaries to our aid, so to master any new method of timing for e.g. this Lomesha
Anshak Paddathi how long will it take especially if we have just touched the tip of the iceberg
& the remaining sutras (at the appendix) remains to be interpreted by masters.

Years back only Goravani software had divisional degrees, do not know if Parasara Light had it or not,
the writer of this column had used Goravani Software which was considered as one of the finest
softwares ever, nowadays many softwares are trying to give divisional degrees. There is a very
important logic of using degrees in divisionals. Suppose a planet say Moon is in Aries Navamsa at the
edge, then say if it moves by even one second it would be in different Navamsa in Ta Navamsa that is.
Which means that a slight change in degree in the Rasi changes the position in divisional which means
the degree of divisional is important.

Event 1: Divorce
Ven is exalted but retrograde, retrograde is Past life issue & can also mean reversal of
path. Ven is with 6L of divorce Sun & 7L of marriage. Of all the 3 planets Ven is closest
to the Asc deg (self) making it more powerful.
Ven is 8L & 3L & from 7h it is 2L of sustenance of marriage along with being the
controller of Bhagya (9L from 7H) of marriage so this planet becomes a bigger key than
Mer.
Ven deg is 29.43 so either the 29th year or the 30th year will give a Big Event in marriage
area or any other area connected with Ven & Associated Planets.
Birth date is Mar 1977, so 29th year of natives life will be from Mar 2005 to March 2006,
now in Mar 2005 (29th year) natives wife left him & in Jan 2006 they were legally
divorced all this a shock to the native. Thus the degree of Venus being 29 gave him event in
the 29th year.
Event 2: Brother
Taking the above discussion forward we see that an event in 29th or 30th year can be
seen.
Now 3H is siblings in GENERAL & we narrow down to 3H for younger siblings & 11H
for elder siblings, but we cannot forget that 3H is still siblings in general. 3L is Ven so an
event in the life of Brothers should happen in the 29th/30th year.
On 31st Aug 06, in the 30th year of natives life, his elder brother died due to heart attack
under mysterious circumstances, natives brother was only 36 yrs old.
Pls note that Ven is AK (atma karaka soul significator) so whatever happens due to Ven
would be soul shaking events or/and very very karmic which is what happened in the years
indicated by Venuses degree in the chart.

 Another interesting observation is in D3 Ven (involved in our yog) is at 29.09 deg =30th
year, Ven is the 7L of maraca & 12th lord of Exit of life placed in 1H of body, so exit of
brother circumstances happened in the 30th year of natives life.
Event 3: 27th Nov 2004 Marriage i.e. in 28th year
Here 5L is Moon placed in 2H of family (addition in family) but it is with ketu (breaks).
Moons deg is 27.41=28th year
Lagna degree is 27.51=28th year, again indicating a specific event to self in the 28th year.
Lets see D9 & degs in D9 Mer the 7L in D9 is only in the 10th deg again too low for
marriage, lagna deg is again low, but lagna has Ven (the Amk in D9 showing karma of
D9) & it is in 27.27 Pisces =28th year, 7H has Sun (AK- soul, karmic angle to marriage
remember he got divorced within 1.5 yrs from Indian standards point of view) in 28.00
Vi= 28th year.
So far 28th year has repeated 4 times, so something concerning his marriage event can
happen in this year which is what happened.
Theory 8: Retrograde planets are to be treated differently, since they are moving backwards.
Rahu Ketu are constantly retrograde so it has to be treated 2 ways e.g. if Rahu is at 0.30 deg
then it is in its 1st deg and/or also it has already covered 29.30 degs in that sign so it is in its
30th deg= 30th year.
Example 3: Worlds Favorite Superman

Event 1: Romance with the S Emblem

When Superman starring Christopher Reeves was released people fell in love with the Man
of Steel, for the first time we could see a man really flying it was Wowwww. Reeves the
eternally handsome man became embedded in the hearts of women & men alike world over,

every one wanted to be him Reeves fame was immortal as if he alone was born for this role
they said.
Ketu (accident) in lagna is what strikes first, but then we see Moon the famous
debilitated moon often found in the charts of famous men, this moon is in the 5H of
fame with swagrahi mars, involved in powerful Gajekeshari Yoga in D9 with swagrahi
Jup in 5/11 axis of fame, in another GKY yoga in 3H of rides/flying (Superman) in D10
& another GKY yoga in D60.
This Moon is with Yogakaraka Mars (Yk being 5L in 5H), so Mars can further give the
results too in a combined manner.(Mars is further in 5H of fame/films in D10)*
So we see the deg of this Mars 25.03 Sc= 25th year or 26th year, adding it to yr of birth,
1952+25=1977 & with 26th year we get 1978. In 1977 he got the greatest role of his life that
would give him fame (Moon Mars in 5H two kendra lords in 5H), shooting began in
March 1977 (25th year) & movie was released in 1978 (date not known)
Event 2: Directional Debut in 1997 with HBO film In The Gloaming with Glenn Close,
Whoopi Goldberg, Bridget Fonda, won 4 Cable Ace Awards, was nominated for 5 Emmy
Awards including Outstanding director
So obviously his 5th house should be activated
Earlier we calculated that Mars gave him 1977 (1952+25 deg of mars), now lets add Moon
which is also there in the 5H in the 20th deg giving us 1977+20= 1997 the year of the film,
fame etc a 5H activity where both Mars & Moon are placed.
Event 3: Fatal Accident while horse riding on 27th May 1995 (43rd year) which paralyzed him.
An event must be as usual corroborated by many dashas, many types of transits & many
methods within this deg method to get confirmation of rough year
Another innovative way of seeing horse accident is see 6H shows accidents, the sign
here is Sagi which denotes a man on a horse merged, lord is Jup who is retrograde in
Karma Sthana, since it is retro it is past life event & also is 5th (past) from 6th house. Jup
is with A8 (chronic accidents). Now from Jups placement, the 6H has 3 malefics
showing accidents so our attention is more on 3H now.
3H is secondary house of chronic accidents (8th from 8th), & also important in our
context it carries the karma of the 6H of accident (10th from6th) , there are 3 planets in
3H, 2 of them dreaded enemies of each other (remember he suffered from asthma &
allergies 3H effect). One can refer to wikipedia to see the problem in concerned body
parts & corroborate with the chart. Now 3H becomes focal point, add the degs of all
planets in the 3H the total arrived is 42 degs = 42 yr, whereas the accident happened in
the 43rd year of his life.

 D6 shows the accidents in depth, 2nd & 7th houses are maraca houses & lagna of D6
shows the body.
In D6 Asc shows self (body) & Ven is the 8th & 3L of chronic accidents in 2H of maraca
(death) & 7H of maraca has Jup lagna lord (body) & 10L of karma of D6
Asc = 5.22
Ven=22.55
Jup=14.19
=========
total=42.36 = 43rd year = 43+1952= 1995 year of his fatal accident
=========

Confusion will always prevail and it is left to the most intuitive astrologer to decipher to
choose the planets which to add with his experience, to arrive at as a confirmatory tool &
use the right dasa to pinpoint further.
Event 4: Death on 11th Oct 2004
Ketu in the lagna usually shows some fatality, lagna is body so adding lagna + ketu
Asc: 25.53
(26th year)
Ketu 27.28 +
(28th year)
=========
========
rd
53.21 i.e. 53 or 54th year
=========
=========
53rd year would be from 25th Sept 2004 to 25th Sept 2005 & he died within this year in Oct 11th
2004.
If we take 0.21 as balance out of 53.21 gotten above, we would get it as 127days or 4.1 months
which will add up to Jan 05, if the lagna deg is deducted by 1 min one gets near Oct 04 when
he expired

Food for Thought: It is common sense that all those who have ketu in lagna cannot die in the year
indicated by adding both, but what it indicates is some event can happen to the body (lagna) in that
year of non-good nature (ketu), when one gets the event year then one can check with 3 dasas minimum
& transits to get conclusion.
Event 5: Nothing is Impossible by Christopher Reeves on New York Times bestseller for 10
weeks
Mars is ink & is powerfully disposed in 5H of writing (3rd to 3rd), Mars is Yogakaraka too
in 5H of buddhi, add Ygk to lagna (25.03+25.53=50.56=51st year) & we get 51st year i.e. from
Sept 02 to Sept 03 when his book was published called Nothing is Impossible (did mars
suck energy out of the moon).
Example 4: Bush Jr Timing Traditional Yogas
Event 1: Texas Governor (49th year)
Much has been written about his Gajakeshari Yoga so we omit that. Lets time when
(all) his GKY will fructify with this method.
Jup-25.02 deg & Moon-23.36 Gajakeshari Yoga in 3H, which shows the karma (action
also) of the 6H of contesting. For lovers of Jaimini kindly note Jup is Amk career, i.e.
start of real career.

Jup 25:02
Moon 23.36
==========

48.38 = 49th year i.e. from July 94 to July 95

==========
& in this period on 17th Jan he became governor of Texas. (note by other method of roundoff
we get 50th year). But when we predict we should always predict 49th or 50th year of life event
can happen i.e. in 1995 or 1996.
Event 2: Presidency
Sat delays the real fruit (doesnt deny), now this Sat aspects this GKY (Jup Moon
combo) & this delay can be either of 1-2 yr (traditional way of seeing) or by 4 years as
Sats deg is 3.24=4th year.
Sat + GKY=4+1995/1996=1999 or 2000 year an event concerning his bhagya (Sat 9L) &
Jup (amk) can happen and it was in this period of 1999/2000 he ran for the most powerful
office in the world & won elections in 2000 Dec.
Example 5 : J.S a predictive attempt

In brief
Scribe predicted in 16th year looking at D10 Amk deg & was wrong in predictions (no
dashas), but then we came back to D1 & saw another planet in the 16th deg that is Moon,
who is PK (love) , 5L of D9 & in 4H of mother, so it was asked if in the 16th year was
there a love affair & if there was something to do with mother or property matters (4H
matters), lady replied that in 16th year she fell in love with her first boyfriend & her
mom had some health problems. First love is a significant event.
Then she was asked if in her 28th year of life i.e. from Feb 1982 to Feb 1983, what
happened in terms of career & 8H matters & Jup matters, she replied that Feb. 1982Feb. 1983 I continued working in the same job that I had since 1978 but was offered a

significant job raise to operating room supervisor (which I declined). In Dec. 1982 I
decided to leave my first marriage and we divorced in April 1983.
See, this was asked for two reasons Jup & Sat are both in the 28th deg, so 28th year
should give results of 2H of family, end of marriage & also Jup is in the 8H of
sustenance of marriage & career matters as Jup is amk. Now Sat also being in the
same deg and is AK so some soul level deeeep karmic event can happen (combine this
with Jups significations) & in Dec 1982 she decided to leave her first marriage,
correspond this with Nav lagna deg which is in 28th deg so we get another
confirmation that something re marriage can happen in 28th /29th year
Now see D4, the D4 lagna in 29th deg, both for Parivritti Chaturthamsa & also Parasari
Chaturthamsa so obviously an event concerning House/Residence can be seen & she
shifted in the 29th year from West Virginia to California.
Example 6: Ambassadors mothers death in his 6th year

Lagna is at 6.27 which means 7th year, 2 mins earlier time can always be possible (if
major divisionals are not changing) and the deg would be 5.59 which is 6th year hence a
significant event effecting self can always happen.
Now 4H is mother, 3rd from 4th & 8th from 4th house shows longevity of mother and it is
lorded by Ven who is combust closely with Sun. This Ven is in 5.26 deg that is 6th
deg=6th year hence we can say that in the 6th year there is some possibility of an event
effecting the life of mother & that is what happened, his mother died in the 6th year in
the dasa of badly associated Moon who is also MK & Tr Sat was aspecting 4H & natal
Sat
Example 7: Mother dies on March 6th, 1977.
Chart belongs to a dear astrologer friend from Europe, who had a tragedy in life when his
mother died due to mysterious circumstances of suicide. Before we see his chart, lets

remember the great Prithyuyasas whose Navamsa method in Hora Sara is scribes favorite,
where we see that he has shown us to deduct from a sign, that is reverse counting. Say if
planet is in 3 deg, we deduct from 30 to get 27 deg and corresponding year.
Now Mother is Moon & in 18th deg so in the 18th year of his life some event to mother8
should have happened or to his mind or as it is in 9H of higher education with a powerful
GKY in creative watery sign, and it should be at the fag end of his 18th year as Moon is at
17.50 minutes, he is born in Nov so in Oct sept of his 18th year something should happen
which is what happened. Higher education in classical music started in September 1972 at the
Royal Danish Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen.

Coming back to Moon the MK (Maa) is with Jup who is GK (showing

accidents/diseases) & this Jup in D1 is a maraca to 4H (from 4H it is 2L of maraca in
6H). In D12, this Jup is in the 12H from 4H along with the 4L of mother Ven. Jup in D12
is 6L of accidents & from 4H it is 3L of death & 6L of accidents placed in 12H of exit

Do not know what happened to mother in this age.

so this way Jup becomes a very stronger contender to play spoilsport, its deg is 6.43 in natal,
deducting this from sign deg of 30, we get 22.17 i.e. 23 i.e. 23rd year and in his 23rd year from
Nov 1976 to Nov 1977, she committed suicide (Mar 6th 1977)
Example 8: Using Curses & Yogas

Ven is at 5.04 = 6th year, Ven is DK, Ven is woman, Ven is in 12H of bed pleasures, Ven
is with Sat (servant), so at age 6 an event regarding woman should happen but native is
very young so can we predict with confidence, we cant. But at the age of 6 native was
sexually molested by a female servant (servant karaka is Saturn).
Sat is Amk (career), in nadi Saturn is Karma karaka (career), Sat is 8th lord of change &
9L of bhagya, Sat is in 12H of spirituality, Sat the 9L is with 5L & 12L a yoga for
spirituality in the 12H of spirituality, Sat is 26.10=27th year which is May 99 to May 2000.
In this year he changed his profession (8L of change) then re-entered it in new capacity
& joined a spiritual outfit. This was also the year of sudden shift in his spiritual outlook
& met many spiritual teachers of high order.
Moon is mother, Moon is also Jaimini MK (significator of mother), Moon is in 3H of
karma of accidents, Moon is aspected by 6L & 11L of accidents Mars, Mars additionally
also signifies accidents, Moon is in 18th deg, in the 18th year of the native which is 1991
natives mother suffered a very bad accident which even till date troubles her.
Asc deg is 19.24=20th year, Asc shows body & is trine to Mars & Ketu (accidents) in 1H
debilitated. In 20th year of life, native did high physical work, outshone others by
winning championships & suffered heavy injuries. LL has gone in the 11H of elevation
and awards, native won some awards in this year.

 Ketu is accidents & injuries, Ketu is obstacles, Ketu is co-lord of 6th house of fighting
spirit & accidents, Ketu is gyanakaraka (knowledge), ketu is in 15.26 i.e. 16th year, in the
16th year all this happened potently.
Mars is GK (quarrels) & 6L too, Mars is in 9H of father, Mars is in 9th deg, so in the 9th
year natives father had huge quarrels resulting in semi-split in family.
Lomush Rishi says that the deg of the Sun corresponding to that year one would get
great fortune to father (as Sun is karaka of father). This is the only point of Lomush
rishi that matches with our theory of co-relating karakas to degreecal years, now see Sun
is 26.51 & exalted, so in the 27th year we can say that his father had great fortune, but the
opposite was the case, though the year was the same but his father suffered heart
problem, had to undergo bi-pass operation & developed complications which ruined his
health & wealth for the next 4-5 yrs, this is since Sun is aspected by Rahu (roga) & sun is
the dispositor of moon who is close degree trine to rahu & rahu is also close deg trine to
Mer who is with Sun. Note Sun is the AK, so soul searching experience, due to this &
another incident the native went through intense hardships in this year.
Ven is 5L of love, Ven(DK) deg is 5.03, now apply hora sara sub method, deduct it by 30
degs of a sign, balance is 24.57=25th year, in his 25th year he fell in love with a girl & was
close to getting married to her.
When Will Curses Act Out: Ven is DK (woman) & Sat is amk (career) Ven is involved
in curse of spouse by being in association with Sat & aspect of Mars (Gkquarrels/health). This curse happens in 12H of abroad & Sat is older woman. Mars is in
the nak of Rahu which means foreigner & this mars aspects Ven-Sat. Now see Ven is at
5.03 & Sat is at 26.10, the minutes added up is only 13 min, so can be ignored if wished,
add 5+26=31st year or add Ven 5.03=6th year + Sat 26.10=27th year = 6+27=33rd year . So we
get two years to predict that either in the 31st or 33rd year the curse of spouse will happen.
The native was involved in both the years with two different women who were
foreigners, older to him & resulted in wreckage of his life & professional life (sat is
amk), native was abroad (all this happens in 12H of abroad) & resulted also in the health
of native going down very badly (Mars is GK & 6L), finally the curse acted itself out.
Mars being in Rahus nak where sarpa dosha is there, there was certain element of black
magic involved in all this drama that happened in natives life.
Yoga: In the 33rd year of natives life, he was abroad in a new job (amk) in a creative
field (5L) at a top position; we can see it with basic yoga of 5L (creative) & 9L (bhagya)
in 12H (of abroad).
Jup is at 18.02 so 18th or 19th year should given an event related to Jup, Jup is 7L of
private parts & in house of darkness that cannot be seen even when Sun falls on it, Jup
is expansive in nature and above that it is placed in nakshatra of Moon (water). Jup is
12th from 6L Mars, now in the 18, 19th year native a student of Martial arts & an ardent
fan of Jackie Chan esp in those years of 1990s when Chan came out with his brand of
Comedy Kungfu, the native emulated a daring stunt of Jackie Chan on jumping on a
riding bicycle Project A Part 1 & landed on his testicles on the seat of the bicycle,
which resulted in grave injury and Huge Swelling of the testicles for days Jup is
expansive.

Example 9: S.C ex SJC Guru

Event: Death of Father - Brain Hemorrhage during a train travel (traveling alone - at a
Hospital, far away from home) - Apr 24, 1978, early morn

Scribe was given broad range of 1972 to 1981 as the event period of Death of father and scribe
fixed it to two dates with dasas but failed maybe due to scribes lowering level of
understanding of these dasas.
Jupiter is karaka for 9H of father, Jup is 3L of Akala Mrityu for father placed in the 12th from
father and is in 23.12 degrees so 24th year or 24th /25th year something can happen to father.
His father died in 24th year plus 2 months. Ketu is headless so something to do with head can
happen and it is in 10H of fathers head, he died of brain hemorrhage.
Event 2: Brothers death - Suicide - hanging by rope; at home - Dec. 21, 1997 (44th year)

See D3 shows siblings, 8H in D3 shows death/ longevity of siblings, over there you see
Sun & Venus.

 To keep this brief add Ven + Sun (degs of D3)=25.50 + 18.46=49.96=44th year an event will
happen in brothers life of a grave nature (Yk +Maraca) & that is what happened he
hanged himself at home (Ven is 4L of ones residence)
Conclusion
fter you read the Appendix 1 (a more scholarly translation might be needed as one of
our friends did it for us years back on an informal basis and now does not wish his
name to be revealed) it would be clear to you that what we have written above is
nothing as compared to what Lomesh Rishi is suggesting, scholars need to put their mind to
this and kindly educate us the system that Lomesh Rishi is employing. If they can teach us
that or write an article on it we would be indebted and so would mentor be to them as he has
spent decades on this. Provided below in Appendix 1 is English translation and below that in
Appendix 2 the pages that we received containing the Sanskrit and Hindi translation.

Appendix 1 English Translation from BPHS

Lomesh Rishi on Usage of Degrees in BPHS (Venkateshwar Press Edition)

he English translation that our friend from Rajasthan had done was earlier produced
here but was deleted as one of Saptarishis Astrologys translators Mr Veneet said
that the translation done by our friend was from Hindi to English and there was
flaws in the Hindi translation itself. He then suggested that since simultaneously SA was
getting Lomesh Samhita translated via him, this same chapter that appears in BPHS of
Venkateshwar Press is their ditto as Chapter 10 in Lomesh Samhita, the Chapter 1 to 6 has
been produced in this issue of SA. Hence in order to give as much as correct meaning of the
shlokas Veneets translation. If the learned find any flaws kindly correct us. Another
unstructured thought comes to ones mind after seeing the translation of Lomash Samhita
and comparing the BPHS of Venkateshwar Press one of the first BPHSs that have the
creators of BPHS (in the past many scholars have said it to be a compilation) created it out
of Lomash Samhita ? even if one gets BPHS in manuscript form one would find a lot of
similarity in BPHS and Lomash Samhita and it should be borne in mind that the manuscript
would normally be not more than few hundred years since regularly these texts were copied
to maintain longevity. The only reward we would want from the readers is to take each
shloka of this chapter, get to its correct meaning and implementation, test it and give us
feedback of these results via emails or write articles and show us how to use this chapter
since one finds mention of some techniques in this which has never ever come out.

Chapter 10

Vipra said: O Saumya! Please tell me about the happiness and sorrow of the world from birth
unto death; (tell me about) marriage etc and sons etc.

(?)

( ? )

()

(?)

The sage said: Add the amshas of Sun, Mars, Rahu and Saturn. The results mentioned ahead
are with respect to the full age of the native (i.e. 120 years). These ages should be scaled
based on the age indicated by the sum of the four amshas. Misfortunes should be indicated at
the age represented by the number. If zero is obtained then some bad behavior and
sometimes physical pain shall follow, if three is obtained then some happiness shall follow,
if five then disease connected with the three humours, if nine then pain in the heart, if
fifteen then medical remediation, if nineteen then boils in the body, if twenty four then
distress in the ear, if twenty nine then small-pox etc, if forty one then fear, if forty nine then
fear from water, if sixty nine then one is affected by spirits, if seventy two then kidnapping,
if seventy nine then mild injuries, if eighty nine then purity, if ninety nine then birth of son,
if one hundred seven then disease, if one hundred fifteen then marriage (in the family), if
one hundred nineteen then death shall happen in the middle, beginning or end. In this way
happiness and sorrows of beings is determined depending upon the degrees of the planets.

_(?)( ? )

One should study good and bad results from the difference between 30 and the longitude of
the planet in the sign. If in the third amsa then indicate injuries and misfortunes, boils in the
third amsa death of mother in the fourth amsa, stealth of wealth in the in second part, death
of brother in the third amsa, death of mother or maternal-relatives, in the fourth amsa, death
of son in the fifth amsha, death of enemy in the sixth amsa, death of wife in the seventh
amsa, death of the creditor in the eighth amsa, death of prabhu(?) in the ninth amsa, death of
father in the tenth amsa, loss of livelihood in the eleventh amsa and O dwija!, death is certain
in the twelfth amsa.

Death of friends, teachers and co-habitants is certain in the amsa of the ascendant, in the
fifth amsa one has gains, in its fifth amsa one obtains wealth, the sixth amsa brings sorrows,
one should indicate injuries from stones etc in the seventh amsa, in the ascendant one should
indicate injuries from stones, in the third and twelfth amsa one should indicate injuries from
water, in the fifth and sixth amsa one should indicate injuries from trees, in the seventh amsa
one should indicate injuries from four-footed animals or objects, in the ninth and tenth amsa
one should indicate injuries from crabs etc, in the eleventh amsa from serpents in this way
one should indicate the results from the planets in the seventh amsa. In the eighth amsa one
shall gain friends, in the ninth amsa indicate gada, in the tenth amsa indicate religious merits
and donations, in the eleventh amsa indicate sorrows, in the twelfth amsa indicate
expenditures, in the thirteenth amsa indicate loss of respect, in the fourteenth amsa indicate
quarrels, in the fifteenth amsa indicate robbery, in the sixteenth amsa indicate relations with
the wives of others, in the seventeenth amsa indicate restlessness in the mind, in the
eighteenth amsa indicate purity, in the nineteenth amsa indicate travels and in the twentieth
amsa indicate bondage etc.


.(?)

One should indicate happiness from father in the place where Sun is placed, marriage where
Moon is placed, birth of brother where Mars is placed, sister where Mercury is placed, birth
of son where Jupiter is placed, gain of daughter where Venus is placed, less happiness from
mother where Saturn is placed. In this way one should indicate happiness and sorrows
according to the planets.

Multiply the degrees etc of the lord of the ascendant and the lord of the seventh house by
four. Marriage should be indicated in the year represented by their difference.

(?)
Add and subtract the longitudes of these two lords after discarding the sign number.
Multiply the remainder by two. Marriage can be indicated in these years.

Compute the difference between the degrees traversed by the two lords. Divide the degrees
etc by the sign number. Marriage can be indicated in the year indicated by the quotient or
the year indicated by the remainder.

Similarly one can judge about (the marriage of) son and daughter from the fifth and eleventh
houses and about brother and sister from the third and ninth 9 houses.

Compute the difference between the twelfth and the eleventh houses as well as the
difference between their lords. Expenditure should be inferred from the difference between
the two houses and gains should be inferred from the difference between their lords.

Brother and sister from 9H - SA


Add the bhagana of Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn with the sign,
degree etc of the houses in which they are placed. Divide the sum by twelve and indicate
death to be after these many months from birth. Similarly the days, ghatis and palas etc from
birth upto death shall be known from it.

Compute the difference between the ascendant and Moon and deduct these many kalas and
palas from the time of birth. This is said to be the time of the breaking of water.

Compute the difference between Sun and Moon and then add (the longitude of) ascendant
to it. At the year indicated by the result one should predict gains or riches.

Add the longitude of the lord of the sign occupied by Moon and the longitude of the lord of
the ascendant. Add the longitude of Moon to it. Add the longitude of the eighth house or
subtract it and indicate debts or freedom from debts in these years.

(?)
Add the longitudes of Sun, Moon and ascendant. Add to it the spashta of the lord of the sign
occupied by Moon. Indicate enormous sufferings at this age and happiness in the age
obtained by subtracting the two.

Compute the difference between the fifth and ninth houses. Small-pox etc should be
indicated in this year. In the year represented by the difference and sum of the first and
tenth houses there shall be the death of father without doubt.

Indicate the fructification of karma in the year indicated by the sum of the longitudes of the
lord of the Moon sign and the tenth house. Add the longitudes of the second and twelfth
house. Indicate expenditure on lowly things in this age.

One should study all the houses adjacent to the seventh house.

The results of the planets from the ninth house upto the eighth house are now being spoken
of. The lord of the ninth house is always benefic and never cruel. It gives strength. The lord
of the fifth house is also auspicious; if it is cruel even then it grants happiness. The lords of
the third, eleventh, sixth and eighth houses give sorrows. Such planets, even if benefic, do
not give benefits in their periods or transits. Lordship of the eighth house is not malefic for
Libra and Aries ascendants. Lordship of the sixth house is not malefic for Scorpio and
Taurus ascendants.

(?) (?)

The houses first and second, second and third, third and fourth, fourth and fifth, fifth and
sixth, sixth and seventh, seventh and eighth, eighth and ninth, ninth and tenth, tenth and
eleventh, eleventh and twelfth, twelfth and first give rise to yogas named Pushkala Labha
(enormous gains), Rajmrityu and Amatya (death in a royal place and ministership of a king),
Daruna Karma (harsh deeds), Raja Yoga (kingly combination), Roga (disease), Priya (gain of
beloved), Mriti (death), Bhagyavyaya (loss of luck) Rajyoga (kingly combination)
Bhumidravya (wealth related to lands) Rinavyaya (expenditure of debt) Vittahani (loss of
wealth) respectively. When the lords exchange places or are placed together in the same
house or if they aspect each other fully or are in the same varga then they give rise to these
yogas. If weak then they do not give rise to these yogas. If conjoined with enemies or if weak
or if aspected or conjoined with malefics then they do not give rise to these yogas. If placed
in the twelfth, eighth, sixth or eleventh houses or if conjoined with their lords or if their
lords are in these houses then also the yoga is not created. If retrograde then also the Raja,
Amatya etc yogas are destroyed.




In this way one should study (the placement of planets) at all places - at the time of birth, at
the time of the query or (in the beginning of the) year (that is the Varsha Pravesha Chart) or
in the muhurat in which a work is begun.

All that you had asked has been mentioned by me. If one wants ones predictions to be
correct then this knowledge should not be given to anyone just like that.

||Thus ends the tenth chapter titled On Happiness and Sorrow in the
conversation between Lomasha and Sujanma in the first part of Lomasha
Samhita of sixty thousand verses.||
