ARS IS A RED PLANET, resembling our earth
and it has seasons and polar caps. According to
Padmapurana it was born out of the sweat of Vishnu
(or to Vamanapurana, of that of the sweat of Siva) who
could quench his thirst by drinking the heat generating
blood of Andhaka suggests anything for sure that the planet
stands as a final proof for the accretion theory bearing
many scars of creation.

Though our earth is not a planet for our astrological

purposes it is our 'graham' or the house where we live.
13000 km across with more than 6 billion people, it has
faced threat to life extinction, according to astronomers,
more than 20 times over the ages. Moving at a rate of
230 km per second, it also bears some scars of creation.
The Arizona crater stands witness to a crash that occurred
49000 years ago when a meteor, 50 km across hit it to
cause a cavity 1.2 km in diameter 200 metres deep.
Recent history has recorded a crash of 1908 Siberia
devastating forests. Astronomers say that a crash
expected in 1972 by an object was averted when
miraculously it changed its course and flew past, away
from earth.
Jupiter
Jupiter is 100 times bigger than the earth and is a gas
giant. With winds of more than 100km per hour sweeping
on its surface, an earth-sized storm always whirls at its
red spot. Radio emissions received from Jupiter are 10000
times more powerful than of the earth. It is a Solar system
in miniature having many moons. Astronomers are sure
that without Jupiter life on earth would be totally impossible.
Jupiter has saved the earth thousands of times from
crashes from erratic stellar objects like comets and
meteors. With its powerful gravity, it draws the wandering
objects and shields the earth from their attack even till
today. In recent times, the whole world witnessed on the

16th of July 1994, the Shoemaker Levy comet plunging

into the surface of Jupiter. Had it hit the earth instead,
neither we nor this article would have seen the light of
the day. That is why Jupiter is called Jeeva, the protector
of life on earth.
Saturn
Saturn is peculiar with its rings and enhances its beauty
as a celestial spectacle of a rare nature. It has the same
gas as of Jupiter and gets less heat and light from the
Sun. One of its moons, Titan has an atmosphere as well.
Padmapurana says that Samjna, wife of Surya, who could
not bear the brilliant lustre of Surya, is said to have created
a shadow image of herself, Chaaya who through the Sun
brought forth the child Sanaichara meaning slow moving.
It is stated that the curse of Parvati made him cruel (can
become ruinous), if he chooses to look straight. Perhaps
it may be that the rings, for most of the time obstruct the
full view of the planet. He is called Neelambara or one
who dons blue garments. It will be interesting to note
that Lino Piccardi, the Italian scientist proved that when
the rays of Saturn were projected through a blue sapphire
to a culture of bacteria, they could not grow or multiply.
Is it perhaps why our texts prescribe the wearing of a
blue sapphire, as a propitiatory measure, for those under
the evil influence of Saturn?
For the roles of Rahu and Ketu, especially as mathematical
points, our Siddhantic literature have a lot to say that go in
consonance with puranic allegorical descriptions.
Each planet has its own adidevata and prayatidevata
and the descriptions contained in our ancient texts require
an incisive analysis for interpretation as to how they could
be correlated with subtle scientific notions. Scholars can
throw a lot of light on many of these points.
John H. Nelson, an electronics engineer investigating the
cause for magnetic storms which caused radio
disturbances discovered that they are found to occur when
two or more planets go in conjunction or at angles of
180 or 90. What surprised him more was, that they

DR. B. V. RAMAN MEMORIAL NUMBER

Four Stages of

Human Life
BANGALORE NIRANJAN BABU

THIS ARTICLE IS DEDICATED to my respected and

revered father Dr. B. V. Raman whose birth centenary
year is 2012. Dr. Raman passed away in December
1998. My reverential obeisance to the Jyotisha
Pitamaha, the like of whom was never before and never
again.
The ancient masters divided human life into four parts.
Let us try to understand the different stages of human
life. Suppose we divide a life span of 100 years equally,
the four stages viz., Brahmacharya - celibate, Grihasta householder, Vanaprastha - detached and Sanyasa
renunciation each of which can be worked out to 25
years, in that order. The first stage of life is further split
into two Balya (upto 8 years) and Yavana (17 years).

Make the child sleep in a northeast room or in the

northeast area of your room, in an independent cradle or
bed, with its head to the east. Remove all mirrors from
the childs room. In this period of eight years, different
activities of the child come into play beginning from naming
of the child, cradling, first feeding (of solid food), ear
boring, first hair cut, beginning of study, wearing of the
sacred thread.

Brahmacharya


Balya

During the balya the child is a bundle of innocence and

has to have all the love and affection of the parents and
family. It is in a very sensitive phase of life and your chils
should not be burdened with any chores, whatever.
Nuclear families with both parents working should see
the reality that at this age, a child badly needs its parental
guidance, love and affection.


Matru Vatsalya

Matru Vatsalya, particularly is important. Sacrifice on

the part of the mother, for the sake of the child, in being
with the mother is necessary. Putting the children in the
hands of maids could psychologically wash out the love
(for the parent) in the child to the detriment of family
harmony. Upto five years of the child, when it starts going
to grade 1, the mother being just a housewife will indeed
contribute positively to the childs adult life.

Planetary Combinations for

Marital
Happiness
DR. T. S. VASAN

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

A research scholar in Vedic Astrology for many

decades, Dr. Tirumale Srinivasan is the National Vice
President of Indian Council of Astrological Sciences
founded by Dr. B. V. Raman. With students spread
globally, Dr. Vasan is also Director of Studies of ICAS,
Bangalore Chapter 1. He has organized workshops
and conferences and presented papers in national and
international conferences on various
aspects of Astrology. He has been invited to many
countries abroad that include USA and UK.

E GIVE HERE IMPORTANT planetary

configurations which make or mar ones domestic
life. Of course, in interpreting these combinations a holistic
approach is needed.
Venus in Cancer makes one sensitive and emotional that
can cause stress and anxieties in family life. Saturn and
Moon combination for Cancer and Capricorn ascendant
are bad and can lead to disharmony and possible divorce.
Two avayogis of the couple joining in one of their
horoscopes can cause serious set back in their family life.
Such results can also be due to mutual aspect and
exchange. Two yogis of the couple joining in one of their
horoscopes can bring in happiness and make family life a
bed of roses. Mutual aspect and exchange indicate a
similar result.
Sun in ascendant or the 7th house brings hurdles in family
life. Avayogi of one horoscope sitting in the ascendant of
the other is not a desirable position for good family life.
However the yogi of one horoscope sitting in the ascendant
of the other is an indicator of good family life. Avayogi in
the ascendant or in the 7th house is indicative of disharmony
and disturbed family life. However Yogi in the ascendant
or in the 7th house will bring harmony and happiness in
family life.
The afflictions of the 7th house or the 7th lord from the
10 th lords position also mean serious problems. The
combination of Mars and Ketu, Saturn and Rahu is not
good for marital happiness. 7th lord of any ascendant
occupying Virgo will also create dissatisfaction,
disharmony in family life. 7 th lord of any ascendant
occupying Pisces gives happiness and well being in the
family aspect. Compare the ascendant of the rasi with
that of the navamsa ascendant and if they are in 6,8,12
they may not be congenial for happy family life.
Cancer ascendant is a enigmatic. 7th house lord and the
7th house are of paramount important because 7th lord
has 8th lordship and becomes powerful functional malefic

His position in dusthana and in neechasthana will give

good results. When you superimpose one horoscope over
the other you if Sun and Saturn join in a Rasi, it may not
be conducive for good health and general well being. In
case if one of them is yogi the rule gets cancelled. When
two avayogis joining in a Rasi when superimposed will
bring unhappiness. But with yogis it will bring happiness.
Mars as avayogi in a female horoscope is not favorable
and if it aspects Scorpio along with Saturn, the indications
could be uterine problems and setbacks in menstrual cycle.
Venus becomes avayogi in the male horoscope occupying
the 7th house and is not good. However, if it is yogi it
brings happiness.
The 6th lords navamsa dispositor joining Moon or Venus
may bring the possibilities of breast cancer with the
intervention of Saturn as a karaka for diseases and for
cancer disease. Saturn Moon yoga is a more sensitive
yoga which points to a confused personality, dual
temperament and melancholic traits that can hamper
family life.
The Navamsa dispositor of the 7th lord, if in dusthana or
afflicted in the Rasi chart, is not good. But if in a good
house without affliction it tends to give prosperity and
happiness. Venus in Navamsa ascendant of the male and
Mars in the Navamsa ascendant of the indicates
disharmony and family problems. Jupiter in the ascendant
of D-7 chart hampers the children aspects. If 7th lord of
any horoscope is Avayogi in good houses, distress is
indicated while in dustanas they are said to do good.
All the above dictums are to be considered for marriage
compatibility. The last dictum is comparing sarvastakavarga
bindus in the 5th and the 7th houses. If the 7th house has
more bindus than the 5th it is bad while the 7th house having
less bindus than the 5th is good. To sum up, marriages are
made in heaven, but can be happy on earth with proper
matching of the horoscopes.
