Visiting astrology occasionally earlier, he

started a detailed study ten years ago. In

view of contradictions and conflicts he took

a conscious decision to keep an open mind and not be bound by any specific school of

astrology. The aim had always been

to decipher and use astrology for

spiritual progress and well being of self and of those seeking help.

strology is mainly interpretation

of symbols and combination of

basic, defined building blocks.

Wherever it is specific, the results may be

deduced using astrological symbols. The

Rishis have defined the symbols or the

building blocks and have directly and

indirectly said in places that we have to

guess the results as per our understanding.

We all know that the results have to be

interpreted with reference to the

environment and the times.

As an example of direct mention by Rishi

Parashar, many would be familiar with this

shloka:

तनरु् धन ंच सहजो बन्धपुतु्रारयस्तथा।

यवुतीरन्ध्रर्र्ा धख्यकर्धलाभव्ययााः क्रर्ात॥्

सकं्षपेणेतैदुदितर्न्यि ्बदु्धय्नसुारताः।

Tanu, Dhan, Sahaja, Bandhu, Putra, Ari, Yuvati, Randhra, Dharma, Karma, Laabha and Vyaya are

in order the names of the 12 houses. I explain these to you in brief. Other things than these should be

understood according to one’s own intelligence.

If we interpret by applying the building blocks and using the symbols, then astrological

scriptures reveal a number of hidden messages. Some such messages are hidden in

Vimshopak.

As we will discuss ahead, the focus of the messages is that learning, worship, evils, fortune,

wealth are not as important for happiness as one’s own health and family.

Before we move ahead with the revelation of the messages let us do a quick recap so that we

all have a common understanding of Vimshopak as used here. We will use only Brihat

Parashara Hora Shastra.

Varga and Vimshopak

he Signs may be divided into a number of parts which are then assigned to a planet

as its lord and also to a Sign. These parts are called Vargas or Divisions and given

specific names. These Vargas may be used for analysis of specific matters in life.

For example, a Sign may be divided into two parts called Hora or three parts called Drekkan.

Hora is used for analyzing wealth whereas Drekkan is used for analyzing co-borns.

A number of Vargas are grouped together in a few sets and given specific names such as

Shadvarg (six-Varga i.e. group of six Vargas), Saptvarg (seven-Varga i.e. group of seven

Vargas) etc. Such sets are used for analyzing areas of life that combine such Vargas.

We will use only Vargas and Varga-groups defined in Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra. The Vargas, the notation used for each Varga, the areas the Vargas are used for, the groups of Vargas and their notation are in Table 1 : The Sixteen Vargas And Their Groups

The Vimshopak strength of a planet in a Varga depends upon its placement and is shown in

the following Table 3 : Vimshopak On Placement.

Table 3 : Vimshopak On Placement Own Varga or auspicious Varga is defined in Brihat Parashar

Hora Shastra as Exaltation Sign, Mooltrikon Sign, Own Sign

and the Vargas in Signs owned by the lord of the Kendras i.e.

angles from its own Arudh. Generally people ignore the

Kendras from Arudh while considering Own Varga.

If we have to calculate Vimshopak strength of a planet in a group of Vargas V-6, V-7 etc. then we have to take proportionate strength of the Vimshopak-On-Placement in all the Vargas as per values in

Table 2 : Vimshopak Values.

For example : The Vimshopak for a Varga in V-6 is calculated using the following formula:

Placement Vimshopak

Own Varga 20

Extreme

friend

18

Friend 15

Neutral 10

Enemy 7

Extreme

enemy

5

Page 6 of 24

(Vimshopak-on-placement * Vimshopak values in V-6)/20

If a planet is in Sign of extreme friend in D-1 then it will have Vimshopak-on-placement of

18. In V-6 the Vimshopak value for D-1 is 6. The Vimshopak for the planet in D-1 for V-6

will, therefore, be 18*6/20 = 5.4. Similarly, the proportionate Vimshopak is calculated in each

Varga and all are added together. The following Table 4 :Vimshopak Strength Calculation

shows the calculation for a planet.

Symbols he main symbols or building blocks in Vimshopak are the Vargas, placement of

planets in each Varga, the Vimshopak values used for calculation in Varga-groups,

Vimshopak strengths in each Varga groups and the Varga groups themselves. We

will use all of these to see the hidden messages.

Vargas are used to analyze specific life matters. Placement of planets in their own Vargas is

considered auspicious and such planets contribute good strength or auspiciousness to the

Varga-group.

The Rishi is not satisfied with Vimshopak in a Varga but has gone on to define Varga groups. Not only that, he has also given different proportionate values to Vimshopak strengths in various Vargas in different Varga groups. The proportion is nothing but the weight or importance attached to various Vargas in Varga groups. What do the Varga groups and the weights reveal? The Varga groups include matters as shown in Table 1 : The Sixteen Vargas And Their Groups

We will notice that these define about four non-exclusive stages of life. V-6 is the stage

when one is of marriageable age, V-7 is the stage when one has children, V-7 is the stage

when one moves further in life in terms of status, vehicle pleasures and other matters, V-16

is the stage when everything in life is considered. In other words one will not consider V-6

for a child unless he reaches marriageable age and will not consider other Vargas-groups till

he reaches appropriate life stages.

Let us consider V-6 V-6 is for general well-being and happiness and planets in strength in V-6 provide happiness related

to them in various Vargas as per the weights of Varga. So, is the case for other Varga-groups. In

other words, the weights are the importance attached by the Rishi to various matters in life in a

Varga group. If one has to be generally happy then considering V-6 we notice that the importance

of various matters is in the following Table 6 : Importance Of Matters As Per V-6. The Rishi has

attached the maximum importance to physique or health followed by spouse, co-borns then parents.

Wealth and evils or misfortune occur the last.

Page 9 of 24

Table 6 : Importance Of Matters As Per V-6 If one wants to be truly happy in life then one needs to

focus more on his health and family. Wealth is not so

important and evils and misfortune are the least

important. It only goes to show that a person may be

happy even with shadows of evils and misfortunes over

him. He may also be happy even without wealth. He

would be really miserable if he loses health or the

support of his spouse.

How many people do we see nowadays consulting

astrologers on wealth and misfortunes? They are so

many! They must be really stressed and that is why

they are consulting astrologers. If they were stressed

only with misfortunes then that is only 5% of the

weight. There should be something more than that. The table shows that the remedy perhaps lies

elsewhere and not in their diagnosis of wealth and misfortune.

There is also another message hidden in the table. The weights show the sensitivity of the remedies

adopted. The same change will have a different impact on the total happiness depending upon where

it happens. For example, a change applied in D-9 will have 25% impact whereas the change applied

in D-2 will have only 10% impact. Do not get carried away with the actual percentages but focus on

the area that will have a greater impact.

Table 7 : Two Pillars Of Life Another message is hidden in the distribution of the weights. It appears that many of the miseries may be overcome with the support of the family provided one is healthy. The two pillars in life shown in

Table 7 : Two Pillars Of Life, in the view of the Rishi,

appear to be health and family taking 85% of the total

importance.

Spouse plays a very key role in the happiness as may be seen.

One may argue that parents have been given a very low

weight compared to others. In fact the importance to parents

is same as the importance given to wealth. While in the first

instance this appears to be true but a closer examination

reveals a deeper message. Society is made by human beings

and sustained by the relationships between them. A major relationship any person holds is of the

family. The family itself may be divided into two parts. One is blood-family as in parents and

co-borns and second is the self-family created by oneself as in spouse, children and grand-

children. Children and grand-children are also blood-family. On reorganizing the earlier

table along such lines we get the three pillars of general happiness in the following Table

8:Three Pillars Of General Happiness.

Total 30.0% Total 30.0% Total 25.0%

The three pillars of general happiness together add up to about 85% with the balance 15%

across wealth and evils/misfortune.

Coming back to the question on parents getting a low importance in the scheme of V-6 we

now find that it is not really so. The blood family where they belong has as much

importance as physique and health and the spouse. The message, therefore, is that anything

done to improve happiness in the blood-family will also increase happiness of the parents as

well as co-borns.

The question, then, arises as to why co-borns have a higher importance compared to parents.

This seems all the more contradictory as the parents are considered even higher than God in

the scriptures. Assume for a moment that the importance is reversed, i.e. parents getting

more importance than the co-borns. In such a case, with co-borns being ignored, how can

parents ever be happy? The linkage, leverage or dependence of happiness of parents with the

happiness of co-borns shows that the apparent low importance to parents is not real but only

apparent. There is, therefore, more than meets the eye. Parents work through their children.

Another thing that is easily visible is that in the absence of co-borns the happiness will be

much less. It is the family, that adds to the happiness.

Page 11 of 24

If we classify the table in the manner Kalyug operates then the pillars would be self, wealth

and family.

Let us now consider V-7.

Table 9 : Importance Of Matters As Per V-7 The importance of matters in V-7 or

Saptavarga are summarized in Table 9

: Importance Of Matters As Per V-7.

The importance of V-6 is shown for

comparison. The weights tell us the

that when we get children then the

attention shifts to them. Health takes a

slight backseat as well as the co-borns.

The spouse becomes very unimportant

– apparently – as the weights show but

the parents gain the most in

importance. The greater is the family,

the greater is the importance of

mischief by evil.

The leverage of the happiness by the children through the parents is clearly visible. Parents

may be kept happy by keeping the children happy but at the same time, parents instill the

long terms values in the children and if they do not have sufficient importance then the long

term happiness would definitely suffer. The message is clear. Children need the values and

nourishing atmosphere and that is possible only through the experience of the parents. The

spouse, too, gains through their experience.

For the sake of consistency let us classify this into the three pillars of general happiness and

we get Table 10 : Three Pillars Of General Happiness Through V-7

Table 10 : Three Pillars Of General Happiness Through V-7

The matters seem unevenly divided between the three pillars. This is so because the leverage

is operating across the Self-family and Blood-family. The parents have gained massively in

terms of importance in this Varga as the happiness depends upon their direct involvement

and experience. How can we say it is so? The importance to the family still remains at 80%

as in Table 11 : Two Pillars Of Life in V-7 with V-6 shown for comparison.

The importance of family as compared to wealth and evils stands out. The importance of

various family members at different stages in life stands out. The importance of overall

happiness due to the linkages between family members stands out again in V-7.

Page 13 of 24

We have seen so far that the happiness is dependent upon the family as a whole and their

interdependencies. There is one clear message to the modern nucleus family concept where it

is only the couple and their children who form the family. It is visible from the following

Table 12 : Nucleus Family in V-6 and V-7

Table 12 : Nucleus Family in V-6 and V-7 The importance of blood-family and the self-

family is unequal till such time someone from the

blood-family joins the self-family. It is only then

the happiness increases. If we consider that the

blood-family is nothing but the modern nucleus

family then the statement makes so much more

sense. Even in the modern world we find that the

parents or the co-borns have to join hands to help

run the family smoothly either through taking

care of the children or general household

management. It is only then that the happiness

increases. Of course, many people use the

assistance of household-help, crèches etc but is it

the same? They come to the family only through

the wealth which is a total of about only 10% of

the importance and can thus contribute only one

small part of it through the helps etc. No wonder

the happiness is always incomplete many a times.

Let us now consider V-10

After the children are born then the other factors come into consideration for happiness like

personal status, vehicular pleasures and many other indications.

The surprising thing is that the importance of evils/misfortune and wealth is down.

Suddenly, it looks as if everything has an equal importance. Is this really so? Look at the

Table 14 : Three Pillars Of General Happiness Through V-10.

Everything is beautifully equal. Status and Vehicular pleasures may be shared across and

would accordingly change the values. Does it not tell us that sharing our pleasures with the

family would increase the overall happiness? We must not forget the cross linkages and

dependencies which further enhance the happiness.

What about D-60 that indicates everything? We could distribute it across all the vargas in

V-10 in the same proportion as the rest of the matters and it would not alter anything. The

message remains the same.

Page 15 of 24

What about the nucleus family message that was available in V-7? Is it still consistent here?

A look at Table 15 : Nucleus Family In V-10 confirms it. Only with the addition of blood-

family can the nucleus family be complete.

importance of the blood-family seems to be now much less. This does not seem strange if we

remember the cross linkages of happiness discussed earlier. We will notice that the direct

responsibilities and anything to do with them always have a greater importance apparently.

For instance, parents gain importance when we need their experience and help in V-10 for

direct fulfillment of self-family responsibilities. Does it indicate a kind of selfishness? Not

really. Let us see the importance of the other factors. See Table 17 : Importance Of Other

Page 17 of 24

Factors in V-16. Only two have been included as they are the ones that require direct action

by an individual.

Table 17 : Importance Of Other Factors in V-16

Whom does anyone worship? Parents take the foremost

place in worship followed by the Gods. We could,

therefore, include this with the importance of the parents.

Worship is for the general well being. Isn’t there a linkage

visible now between this and other factors of happiness?

What about learning? This is learning of various lessons of

life and otherwise.

Let us include this in our table on the nucleus family and see the results in Table 18 : Nucleus

The importance of the both the families remained the same till V-7 but what has happened

in V-16? The self-family is suddenly more important. While the cross linkages argument

still holds there is another thing to be noticed. The sacrifice for learning has come in from

the blood-family. Similarly the importance of auspicious & inauspicious and strength &

weakness has come in from the blood-family. Does it mean that all sacrifices have to come in

from the blood-family in favor of self-family? There are two ways of looking at this. First,

again the cross linkages of happiness. The self-family sacrifices for the happiness ensuring

that your direct responsibilities are not directly affected. They show their solidarity for you

as they are responsible towards you more as you are more directly responsible for your self-

family. Remember, you are the self-family of your blood-family. Second, it is to be noticed

that your happiness has come in with full confirmation of the blood-family. You have got

your self-family because of the approval of blood-family. If you get them without the

approval of the blood-family then the happiness in other varga groups will definitely suffer

as we have seen earlier.

The message in relationships seems to say that the spouse is more important than the

parents or even the co-borns individually. It only goes to show the importance of marriage

and the vows that one exchanges at the time of marriage. In other words, it shows the

importance of the vows, duties or dharma of a person. While you have your dharma towards

your parents you also have dharma as well as vows towards your spouse and your family.

This is double the responsibility. After the parents have left then it is only you, your spouse,

children and your co-borns. Their teachings and your learning’s from them remain to guide

you and its importance does not go down. Parents generally score low in direct importance as

they have voluntarily given away their child to its spouse and to its own created family.

A point to be noted is that it is always the family above the self. Evils and wealth have little

importance and learning’s and worship are important only after the family and self.

While this is all good in analysis and in principle, how can an astrologer use this to guide the

people who approach him?

The Vimshopaka results are in Table 20 : Vimshopak for V-16 For Illustration 1 after

applying the weights and Sun adjustment.

Sun adjustment is as per Rishi Parashar who has said that the strength of a planet is

maximum at 180 degrees and reduces proportionately to zero closer to the Sun. This has been

done using the following rules after application of the mind.

Ve and Me go a maximum distance of 47 degrees and 27 degrees respectively. Their

strength is considered maximum at 47 degrees and 27 degrees and proportions considered

accordingly for D-1 for these planets.

Sun adjustment is applied separately for the divisional charts using the 180 degrees

formula for all planets.

D-2 has a spread of 60 degrees and not 360 degrees. This means that the circle is of 60

degrees. This has been used and accordingly maximum strength is considered at 30

degrees from the Sun for D-2

The classification is based on each 2.5 difference in strength starting with Atiheen or Very

Low to Very Full. The complete table is in Table 19 : Strength Classification

The average classification is Fair for the entire chart. The life of the person has been Fair

throughout. We will notice that none of the planets are above Medium classification. Sun is

the only one that is Medium. He is a middle class person with medium status and lives

comfortably with lot of effort.

He left his job at the start of Jupiter dasa and branched out on his own. At the same time he

gravitated towards meditation and spiritualism through an organized sect. In addition and as

a result of all this he imposed a number of lifestyle restrictions on himself.

Let us see how we can help him.

The weights in Vimshopak are the maximum strength that a planet can achieve in a Varga.

The actual will depend upon the dignity achieved such as exaltation, own house etc. The

proportion from the maximum weight indicates the actual strength compared to the

maximum possible. For example: The maximum weight for Sun in D-1 is 3.5 but the actual is

1.2 which is 1.2/3.5 or about 35% only. The complete proportions are in Table 21 : Proportions

From Maximum Strength For Illustration 1.

It will be noticed that this is the weakest in the pillars with 20% and 14% strength in

Worship and Learning. These matters will therefore impact his life and not support him.

This is exactly what is happening. The spouse is giving him grief in these matters and of

course there is scope for improvement with children.

With Jupiter dasa running let us see what does Jupiter tell us through Table 24: Three Pillars

In Jupiter Dasa For Illustration 1

There is good support from spouse as well as better support from children. There is still

scope from improvement as the strength is still in Fair classification or borderline Very Fair

classification for children and Medium for spouse. It seems the self-family has reconciled

and doing whatever best is possible whereas the co-borns have perhaps given up. Health

needs attention and is less than what is visible from the natal chart.

Let us also consider the Worship and Learning in Jupiter dasa through Table 25 : Illustration

D-20 Worship 21.15%

The Learning is very poor and the worship has also gone down in the sense that there is no

gain in this. This will not help him and he is into it to a great extent.

What is the solution? Isn’t it now obvious! He is trying to make himself happy focusing on

spiritualism, worship and learning. He is not succeeding in that. What should he do then?

The leverage is available through the self family and his physique which has an importance

of 17.5% each. He should focus on that. He needs to work with his children, his wife and

work on his physique. That is what will give him more joy for the same quantum of effort

that he is putting in worship and learning. All he needs to do is to divert some attention

from worship and learning to these matters. His joy will increase multifold.

It is said in astrology that when a planet is giving you grief and taking you into a closing

spiral then all you need to do is break its cycle to start the outward better spiral. This is

easier said then done but not impossible many a times as in this case.
