Vol 7 – C. S. Patel 2 nd Memorial Issue- Part 1his special issue has been kept manuscript centric because it is re-dedicated to Late Shri C SPatel. The Grandmaster of Modern Vedic astrology taught to the world few rare principles butwhat was the most important teaching from him most have missed. It was ‘Keep It Simple & No-

Infidelity in Astrology’ – this principle can be used by all the Western Astrology students and also theVedic Astrology students. Especially during these times of internet & fast communication where allkinds of knowledge is available and one has multiple teachers, this is most essential otherwise as wehave observed over the last decade many great minds in astrology go ‘Absolute Waste’. In today’s timesof multiple organisations and institutions he just stuck to his room in Mumbai and did not waste timedoing Public Relations and as many have told us over the years there has never been a master like MrPatel. These fans of Mr Patel have been from Denmark to Australia and even from small villages inIndia. The striking part of Mr Patel was he spear-headed the movement in last 100 years to bring out rare

manuscripts containing real knowledge of astrology, he travelled far to collect it, he translated thempainstakingly and demonstrated application. After him almost none in India succeeded in bringing outso many rare verses from so many rare manuscripts. His books still remain on the top of the shelf ofevery astro lover in the world. It is this penchant of his to dig deeper into manuscripts and not besatisfied by available books that we follow and will address more gravely in this issue. Hence this issueof the magazine will not follow regular columns and is a Manuscript Centric Issue so as to inspireeveryone to dig deeper into classics, we bring out this time translations of several unknown but mostimportant works.

Each Publitorial of Saptarishis Astrology is designed to be different from other editorials. As apolicy it does not venture into mundane astrology & looks upon itself to take the task mentioned in the

‘Last Book Of Astrology’ to ‘Change The Mindsets’ of astrologers worldwide which would in turnwould make the Astrology Consciousness to grow and become purified, thereby creating the stage andthe automatic need in the Universe to bring out the hidden and working knowledge in astrology. Intoday’s time of commercialization and shameless self promotion it is more essential for us to raise theconsciousness.

The Enigma Of Birth Time Rectification

et us quickly turn to a world event that happened few months back and a challenge to astrologersworldwide. One must bear in mind that without proper birth time every article on birth timerectification is a product of the authors experience or mind and cannot be taken as a guarantor

inspite of the fame or experience of the astrologer. It is the toughest to even rectify & get to the Asc incases of unknown birth and as complex a life that of Michael Jackson. A new breed of astrologers overthe internet fooled for one decade to rectify birth time till the second up to the 60 th division asking for $250 to $ 500 for it. One way to test an astrologer is no to take the chart of a known person whose birthcertificate is crystal clear and give the time of birth as unknown to astrologers. You will find that everyastrologer worth his salt will ‘Fit’ all the events into the Asc he chooses and even we are guilty of thesame, since birth time rectification is one of the most toughest process. What is more important is beinghonest and admitting that it is the toughest in getting the Asc right, what say of getting to the exactsecond, a practice in modern times of fooling young ones. It is Michael Jacksons chart which has givenus extreme pain and headaches not because he is a celeb but because he truly was a great entertainer. In

recent years, to cause us sleepless nights was a bigger obsession of getting to the chart of LindaGoodman whose date of birth is also unknown, she ensured that you go round and round and don’t getto her, just like Jackson ensured that. Let’s trace his birth time confusion with what some famousastrologers went through.

Richard Gehman gives a time of 7:54 AM CDT "from someone close to Michael." Grazia Bordoniwrites that Mercurio-3 gave 3:00 AM "from him." Zip Dobyns has 1:30 AM "from a close friend ofMichael's to a fellow astrologer." Dobyns speculates late Aquarius rising. Kim Baker speculates 12:09PM in NCGR Newsletter article. Lois Rodden spec-rectifies to 8:47 AM CDT. Basil Fearringtonrectifies to 11:53 PM in "Astrology of the Famed," writing in a footnote of the Introduction that "I hadmany opportunities to observe Michael but could not get close enough to ask him about his time ofbirth." On 12/31/1998, Fearrington emailed the statement that "I had occasion, while playing in theopening act for the very last Jackson tour to ask Michael what his time of birth was. He said "I will tellyou as I told Jackie Onassis, all I know is that it was late in the evening, definitely after 10:30 PM."However, LMR notes that "Astrology of the Famed" was published in 1996 and Jackson's last tour was in1984 so there is some question about this. Shortly after Jackson's death in late June 2009, Steven Stuckey

wrote to: "My friend and teacher of 25 years, Vedic astrologer Chakrapani Ullal1

, was Michael Jackson'sastrologer in the late '80's. Michael gave him a time of birth of 7:33 PM." In a follow-up e-mail, Stuckeyconfirmed that Chakrapani received the time from Jackson directly. Edith Hathaway submitted thesame time also from Chakrapani Ullal. PT also talked with Chakrapani who confirmed that he receivedthe time directly from Michael. At around the same time Michael Munkasey called citing Ed Healin for12:09 PM. Ed worked at a record company and did charts as well. When Michael Jackson approached Edto read his chart, Ed sent Jackson away, saying something like "get the time from your birth certificate."

When Jackson returned, he told Ed that he had been born at 12:09 PM according to his birth certificate.Given that there are numerous reports with different times, many from Jackson himself, PT maintainedthe DD rating as of July 2009.

We even asked America’s senior most Astrologer and also a writer for Saptarishis Astrology, ShriChakrapani Ullal in order to double check the time of birth he received from Jackson. His reply to us:

Dear Admin,

Thank you for your email. Michael Jackson's birth time is 19:33 and it was personally given by him to me. I was hisastrologer from the 80's, 90's, and until 2005. I do believe that this birth time is correct because he had theknowledge that the time should be very accurate for the purpose of the reading. He was kind of an enlightened man,he was vegetarian, a meditator, and was a highly humble human being.

Yours,

Chakrapani

The Asc is Taurus with Indian Zodiac with Basil Ferrington’s time of birth Asc and Aquariuswith Chakrapani Ullal’s time of birth reference. Gayatri Devi Vasudev the editor of Modern Astrology

also took the same time of birth that of Mr Ullal in her September issue with a nice editorial to Jacksonschart. The agony of a serious student of astrology is when he tried several rare methods to double checkon what could be the right Asc and finds that both Asc can resonate with events also matching. Whatdoes one do in such circumstances; Indian Astrology has a solution to this which is by taking Moon asthe Ascendant.

Michael Jackson Chart via Moon as the Ascendant

n India we see charts from natal Asc and moon Asc and to a lesser extent the Sun Asc. Why did theancients of India take Moon as the Asc even when the time of birth is known is a mystery, varioustheories abound but classical works fail to impress as to the reason why. Infact it seems absurd to

take Moon as Asc since for nearly 2 days most of the people born will have the same Chart if one takesit from the Moon Asc but still astrologers in India since thousands of years have sworn with theirexperience that this technique works. One of the reasons to not ignore Moon Asc is not just since it

controls the water on earth and humans having maximum % of water hence Moon Asc but theastronomical reason related to astrology is Moon is the only body which ‘Revolves Around Earth’ – thispoint has not been mentioned earlier in books and craves deeper thinking on it. Imagine if you aresitting in a park in bench and a kid zooms his bike around you continuously, won’t it affect your mindand by affecting one’s mind it would affect ones action which is what we are trying to find out viaastrology. This revolution of the Moon around earth (you) makes it necessary to see the chart ‘Also’from the Moon as the Asc. Also once the native has crossed the age of 32 then it becomes more thannecessary to see the chart also from the Moon Asc. In case of people who are emotional or in creativefields one cannot ignore seeing their charts from the Moon Asc. Charts of people who arecompassionate (4H matter), clean heart you must see their charts by making Moon as the Asc and thisapplies more to Michael Jackson.

Interestingly if we take Moon as the Asc then it will match with the time given by MJ to ChakrapaniUllal but we will take it as Moon Asc chart.

It is difficult to explain any chart as to why the person became a celeb without going into Indianastrology but that will be reduced here considering that the Publitorial is read by western astrologyastrologers too. Some key points are

a) The Asc Aq has Moon sitting in it which is the 6th lord of diseases and courts and accusations,

his life was marred by these factors all his life. 1H is the house of skull & skin2

and 6L of disease beingplaced there means some sort of skin disease by which his skin changes frequently just as the moons

phases change. He suffered from a skin disease called vitiligo.

b) Technique of Deciphering Snap Shot Of Life:This technique can be used by western astrology & Indian astrology adepts too and we had explained itbriefly in previous editorials. See the number of the sign in the Asc, suppose it is Sagi Asc then thenumber of the sign is 9, now go to 9H of the chart and their ruler, conjunctions, planets there in and soon and you would get the Snap Shot of Life in a second. In the case of Michael Jackson, his Moon Asc isAq which is number 11, so we take 11th house of his chart which signifies achievements in life. Its ruler is

Jupiter who is in the 9H of fortune & king.3

This 9H contains Jupiter & Rahu both expansive planet andRahu means international. This 9H is 4th (throne) from Venus (Music) and 3rd (singing) from Mars (3Lof singing). Thus he became known as the King Of Pop.

This 9H of father has Rahu, so his father would be the cause of his fortune which was exactly thecase, without his father he would not have achieved it. See 9H is also the house of mentor and it is withDragons head - Rahu (cheating/break of relations) and his mentor Quincy Jones was also the cause ofhis great albums and the Dragons head thing happened between them. 9H is also the house of religionand over there the planet of religion Jupiter is sitting and Rahu (change) in Indian astrology showsOther Castes and particularly some astrologers use it to denote Muslims. Thus, Michael changed hisreligion to Islam and towards the end of his life was attracted towards Hinduism. Jupiter is also thesignificator of Children and Rahu denotes cheating and scandals, this is what happened in his life. 9H isthe Resultant House of the 5H of love and children and he was so much in love with children.Dispositors dispositor is a technique that was revealed by Late J N Bhasin and here the dispositor of

Jupiter is Venus (women) and it is in the 6H of divorce and legal settlements and loss of money(Venus). This part of the story everyone knows and need not be explained in detail. Thus you can seehow this quick Snap Shot Of Life can be seen by a small forgotten technique of Indian Astrology if onesbasics are strong which normally takes 40-50 years in astrology to achieve.

c)

Chakrapani’ s Version & Symbology of Western Astrology

For a second let us truly believe that Shri Chakrapani was given the wrong time of birth, why wouldsomeone go to an astrologer for 20-25 years and give him wrong time of birth plus money to getconsultations, it is unfathomable unless you believe in the nickname Wacko Jacko as he was called. Forsome years we have been studying degrees of the zodiac and the prediction for each individual degree ofthe zodiac. This deserves a very length explanation but in brief it is presented here to highlight only the

superb form of symbology of Western Astrology so that Indians look into it in detail. Inspite of somany Sages of Indian Astrology, so far we do not have in Vedic astrology a book available to peopleanything from the sages that gives prediction for each individual degree but the sages of westernastrology have done a lot of work in this field and due credit must be given to them. Charubel,Sepharial, Firmicus Maternus, Kozminsky, M C Jain and many others have done work on it and thus ifone wishes to see Michael Jacksons Asc via degrees one must convert it to Tropical Zodiac and one gets10° Pisces 07 ' which is the 11th Degree of Pisces. The explanation for it given in another work

Astrolabium Planum4

given below for 11th degree of Pisces.

Dr K.S.Charak, foremost authority on medical astrology quoted us in a mail citing Uttara Kalamrita as 1H for skin3

9H of king as per western astrology & also Chandra Kala Nadi, an ancient work.4

Astrolabium Planum, one of the most intriguing and enigmatic books written during Renaissance by Johannes Angelus,

published in 1488 in Augusta. We referred to a translation of Planum which was translated by R. Turner (15 Jan 1655),foreword given by William Lilly, will try to upload it on our site or you can download it from

After spending two days of trying to find out what is the meaning of the word ftaffe &finding that connection of it in the arm (written as arme in original) in the above paragraphwe troubled the never give up woman Lorin Cerina – Croatia, Margaret George U.K andfinally John Frawley – Poland, the later is considered the foremost authority on WilliamLillys work, he wrote back….

just in case you're not aware of this - the thing that looks like an f is a standard form of printing sin old books, known as the long s. If you look closely, you'll see that it differs from an f in that thecrossbar doesn't go all the way across the upright, but is on only one side of it.

The word is staffe (staff in modern spelling). It's a big stick, bigger than a walking-stick, but forthe same purpose. Hence the connection with vagabond - someone who wanders about all the time.

Best regards,

John

It is very important to connect between the words used, connect tothe era when it was written in a text and use it symbolically in yourinterpretation. Due to this factor every astrologers interpretation can varyand give in scope for criticism. What can be one form of interpretation isto imagine if the time of birth given by Chakrapani Ullal is correct and tosee its western astrology symbolism. In ancient times it was the chieftanof the tribe or clan or church head who carried a staff like huge stick tosymbolize that the person was a man of authority. It was like a statementto those around him about his importance. So the point is you need tonot do literal translation but get behind the concept that the 16th centurytext is trying ‘it is trying to say that staff on the arm was a symbol ofauthority to stand out from the crowd. Now interpret it in moderntimes, you might have noticed that teenagers nowadays wear color bands

on their hands to attract attention or to stand out. Now note that the Ascdegree describes that the man will have a kind of a staff on his arm and we allremember that Michael Jackson had a band on his right hand and also awhite glove on his hand which is 3H and giving a white silvery band on his righthand means giving Moon in the 3H of singing where already Mars is there, which means combiningMars Moon and, Mars Moon combo is a famous wealth combination in Vedic Astrology, it happeningin the 3H of singing shows wealth through singing. Did an astrologer guide him on this point and hewas known to visit astrologers. When asked why he wore that band he said it is for the suffering of thechildren of earth, now he has Mars in the 3H and in Indian astrology Mars is ‘Bhumi Putra’ means thechild of the earth. He wore band on hand and the 1H of fame got activated. Offhand note sometimes heused a golden band on his arm, thus activating Sun and the famous Sun Mars Yoga.

The main intention of this write up in section is not to prove that the degree of MJ is the correct one as gotten by the 19.33 time but to make the Indian astrologer look and research the texts of the Sages of the West and

http://heavenastrolabe.net/about-the-stars-of-angelus-astrolabium-planum/ . It is said Johannes Angelus copied it fromIbnezra.

not ignore them as interpretation of the degrees of the zodiac can be the most important tool in birth timerectification than any other birth time rectification tool.

d) Moon is the natural 4th lord of the zodiac which shows ones reputation and chastity, hence if themoon is spoilt he becomes prone to the accusations of sexual nature , this is a general rule and also if Moon isspoilt in a chart then ones marriage life is not stable if other factors support , additionally if Moon is spoilt one’slife will not be stable. These general principles are oft ignored by the seasoned astrologers is what has beenobserved hence it is being repeated here. Now how is this Moon spoilt?

e) If you remember one of our previous publitorials we had mentioned a Sage Bhrighu rule thatSaturn spoils the 4th from where it is placed, the 4th house from Saturn is Asc where Moon the 6L ofhealth, debts and court problems is placed. Saturn as the 12L of bed pleasures scandals and also heavykarma from previous life brings that energy with it and spoils the Moon who governs all the factors ofhealth, debts and court cases. Thus you can see that two planets Moon and Saturn can indicate his fulllife story.

f) This Moon in turn is spoilt by the 8th lord of scandals and sexual scandals which in MJs chart

from Moon Asc is Mercury aspecting the Moon (courts). Thus he was dragged into court for sexualscandals, why children? Since Mercury is the young prince in Indian Mythology whose age is 16 andthus if you see MJ always was dragged to court by children who were around that age. Mercury beingretrograde shows that it is past life karma and it being the 8L of Chronic Bad Karma from the Dark Past(8H is house of darkness) it had to show in front of the world since Mercury is placed in the 7H ofPublic Platform and 7H being the opposite of the 1H it brings out you in front of the people, it beingplaced with a own house placed Sun who is strong there and the natural 5L of children of the zodiac andSuns properties is to exhibit light it brought the whole story in limelight and will always spoil his imagewhether it is true or false.

g) Jupiter is significator of children and Dragons Head - Rahu significator of Scandals or sexual

scandal at times as pointed out in previous publitorials, both these are in 9H and 5 th house is forchildren, now in any chart 5th from Jupiter is also the house of children which in MJs chart would be the1H of self where the 6th lord of litigation Moon is sitting, no doubt he had to face court on this accountof children’s sexual scandal, it being moon can indicate constant regular harassment. A huge interestshould arise in astrologers regarding the chart of MJ since if one takes mean nodes the Dragons Head isin 9H whereas with true nodes it shifts to 8H. This controversial topic is not dealt purposely in thisPublitorial

h) Mysterious Death Technique

One should not forget a very broad technique for finding out mysterious death will happen or not is‘When North Node – Rahu associates with 8H or 8L or 3H or 3L it can give mysterious death’, this is one of thetechniques and not the only technique. So if true nodes are used then Rahu goes in the 8H of chronicdiseases, sexual scandals and death and that is what Rahu gave him. In MJs case Rahu is in the 8Hgiving mysterious death & Rahu’s 2nd aspect falls on 8th lord Mercury. John F Kennedy had his 8H and8L both aspected by Rahu. Marilyn Monroe’s 8th L Saturn is aspected by Rahu and so is the 8H, herdeath was and is still a mystery. Subhas Chandra Bose the Indian freedom fighter who is dead or nothas not been decided since last few decades had his 8L aspected by Rahu. Bruce Lee died a mysteriousdeath, his 8L Mer is in the 12H with Moon, Mars and Venus, all 3 are in the asterism (nakshatra) ofRahu and the 8H receives the ½ aspect (10th) of Rahu. Indira Gandhi’s son Sanjay Gandhi has his 8LSun aspected by Rahu. In chart of Hitler, 2nd aspect of Rahu falls on the 8H, Rahu’s dispositor Mercuryis with the 8L, Rahu aspects the 3H and 3L, in D9 Rahu is with the 8L Mercury of D9. One must note

that when such a Rahu aspects it can also mean mysterious or chronic diseases death or sudden death orassassination death like in the case of Abraham Lincoln whose North Node –Rahu aspects his 8L Merand 8H. Rahus 2nd house aspect on 8L Venus in John Lennon’s chart lead to the mysterious uncalled forassassination. For those who use Bhava chalit the dispositor of Rahu has gone into the 8H. One must

use this technique not for prediction but for verification as before Lordship and aspect techniques Yoga(specific combinations) for an Event is given prominence in Indian Astrology.

Something Unknown About Saturn – The Philanthropist

What interests one in Indian Astrology is usually Sun is known as significator for charity, and inIndian mythology it is the legendary & greatest donor ever called ‘Karna’ who is regarded as the son ofSun. Also known in the planetary mythology is that Saturn is the son of Sun yet he is given thesignificatorship of servants and poverty, hence not associated with charity. Hence here is a smallcontroversial piece of observation ‘Saturn is one of the Biggest Givers’, we use the word givers more thandonators as when Saturn gives he does not usually show pomp and drama unless afflicted. Note thispart about Saturn and also remember that 12H is the house of charity, hence whenever 12H is connectedwith Saturn or 12L is connected with Saturn one can get tendencies of donating without much pomp and

show. Look at the chart of Angelina Jolie, she has Saturn in the 12H and has done lot of charity work5

.

Jackson has 12th ruler Saturn in the 10H of Karma and Achievements. Here is a quote6

‘The Millennium-Issue of the “Guinness Book Of Records” names Michael as the “Pop Star who supports the mostcharity organizations’’, one can find a more detailed time line of his charity work at jacksonaction.com.Bill Gates Saturn is associated with 12th ruler Venus in 5H. One of the big names in donation is ofAndrew Carnegie, his time of birth is given a DD rating by Lois Rodden, yet if we take it for a second,

you would see his 12th ruler Mercury is with Saturn in the 1H of self name, as a philanthropist, his giftsto civic organizations were estimated at $350 million7 over his lifetime. One of the team members ofSaptarishis Astrology has Saturn in the 12H and in a way lot of giving happens via him. Once we askedmentor what is the most special trait of Saturn in the 12H, he said ‘ you have asked a wise question, such aperson can at times become such a giver that he can sell himself in giving to others, even take loan and give toothers, provided chart combinations (yogas) support it’. Not to forget Rockefeller, John D. Jr. who has a Brating from Lois, his 12L is also Saturn, his father’s the original Philanthropist year of birth is suspecthence not included here as an example.

j) One interesting thing about his chart is Jupiter conjoined with North Node (Rahu) in the 9H ofteacher and father. Apart from this Jupiter rules Children and it is with Rahu the planet of scandals, andit sitting in the 9H of Fate and Fortune, thus his fate was marred by children led scandals. Wheneverthe divine planet Jupiter is aspected or in trine to North Node in India students are not taught astrologyby their teachers, this is a general but golden rule. The reason is such a person will go against the teacherwho is signified by Jupiter (Guru) doubly in MJs case as it is placed in the 9H of father and teacher. Hepublicly spoke against the harsh practices of his father’s training. Now when will this native speakagainst his father when Jupiter’s periods are active. This part will be understood well by students ofIndian astrology by a technique called Vimshottari Dasa and it was during the period of Mer-Mer-

Jupiter which ran from Nov 92 to Mar 93 that Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in aninterview with Oprah Winfrey broadcast on February 10, 1993. He said that he had often cried fromloneliness and would sometimes vomit when he saw his father.

k) 9H is also the house of Mentor and it having the planet of cheating/deception the North Node(rahu) there will indicate that his relationship with the man who opened his Prosperity (9H-Bhagya)will not last forever and he would severe his relationship with his mentor Quincy Jones who gave himthe success of his albums. Jackson was disappointed by the critical reaction to Bad--despite the album'sfinancial success—and blamed it on decisions made by Jones during the making, and that he ended theirworking relationship at the advice of his advisers.

l) When Will Fortune Rise – this is the biggest question in Vedic astrology for which parents cometo vedic astrologer concerned about their child and the toughest to answer. In this regard the BCP

method that was revealed last year in the 1st C.S.Patel Memorial Issue (Vol 3) is the easiest and the best.The 9th house is the house of prosperity and rise of prosperity (Bhagya in Indian astrology), over therethe benefic planet Jupiter is sitting with North Node - Rahu which shows sudden great rise. 9H as perthe BCP method is the 21st year, 10H is 22nd and so on. In his 21st year on 10th Aug 1979, his 1st Albumtitled ‘Off The Wall’ was released and he became an instant sensation with the track ‘Don’t stop till youget enough’ after which there was no stopping Michael, thus you can see how easy it is with BCP totime ‘Start of Prosperity’. You can further note the degree of Rahu and you would get around to almostthe exact date of 10th Aug 1979 when his album was released8.

m) North Node (Past Life Desires-Rahu) & Jupiter (religion) in the 9H of religion, will make himchange his view his views on religion as Rahu means Transformation and Pending Issues too from pastlife and it is said he changed his religion to Islam and in his later period of life he was attracted toHinduism it is reported in media.

Dragons Tail – Ketu – This is Where You Can Immortalize Yourself

his was supposed to be a future article in the BSP-Planet series but is being included here. SageBhrighu method is ‘wherever Dragons Tail (Ketu) sit there you have the possibility ofInstalling Your Flag Of =Your Own Name Forever’ – that is of establishing yourself if the

other planets in the chart supports. This can help you plan your life and of your clients. Let’s quicklylook at few charts without illustrations. Jackson has Ketu in the 3H of singing, hands, and shoulderswith the 10L of Career. Apart from his singing his hands and shoulder movement in his dance was tooinnovative and there he established himself what Elvis could not do. Sylvester Stallone has DragonsTail - Ketu in the 1H as per western zodiac so he has Established His Name forever, if you take theIndian zodiac then the ketu is in the 12H of abroad and charity in the 8th sign of the dark horse and sex.He started his career as the dark horse and his roles were of the dark horse and his name is establishedabroad. He started his career with a semi-porn movie. He has done charity work for Pediatric Epilepsy

Project9

. Similarly Bollywood star had Ketu in the 1H of self, his name cannot be erased and 1H ispersonality, ideals and had huge impact to Martin Luther King and Obama. Elizabeth Kübler Ross hasDragons Tail - Ketu in 11H of attainment, it is aspected by the planet of death Saturn, she didrevolutionary work on death and dying and Dragons Tail - Ketu being in Sagi, the 9th sign of higherknowledge & Teacher, that’s what she gave a higher knowledge by teaching it to 125,000 studentsworldwide. Hitler had Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 3H of death (secondary house of death) he put hisstamp in the style of death meted out. Elvis had Dragons Tail - Ketu in 9H of Gods aspected by Venusin the 3H of singing; he was considered the God of Rock. Mother Teresa’s time of birth is suspect but ifwe take the commonly known chart of her, it has Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 12H of Charity in the signof Sc, chronic diseases, she did charity work for the destitute, sick and homeless, and thus sheestablished her names flag forever and inspired millions. A young astrologer who gave his jyotishsoftware free also has Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 12H of charity and till he was charging for it he wasnot known but when a mail to him stirred a cord in him, then he gave his software free of charge and

has become known now thereby establishing his name. Paramhansa Yogananda has Dragons Tail - Ketuin the 3H of Libra (resultant house of knowledge) and its lord has gone in the 4H of knowledge. 3H isthe house of writing and his Autobiography of a Yogi is and will remain an unmatched spiritual classicthat everyone picks up in his path to understand Indian Spirituality. Jawaharlal Nehru had DragonsTail - Ketu in the 6H of fighting with Jupiter the 9L of Rulers. He is known as having fought with theBritishers and helped Gandhi get our freedom. 3H is also the house of servants as per Sage Parasara,Abraham Lincoln had Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 3H he ended slavery in America and established hisname forever. 4H is the house of Home Land, Gandhi had Ketu in the 4H of homeland and he freed ourland from British Empire and thus established his name. 9H is the house of righteousness (Dharma),higher knowledge, religion and Guru, Lord Krishna has various charts floating around but most scholarsagree for Taurus Asc and Ketu in the 9H, he established Righteousness and religion and became Guru of

o)

Dial M for Michael

here is a secret system not known to Indian Astrologers on using the 9 Planets incorrespondence to the starting letter of one’s name. For e.g. names starting with R stands forMoon and so does S for Moon, A is denoted by Sun & M is signified by Saturn and so on.

Whenever one sees a chart this method should be used in the backdrop and you should see your clientsname and the planet signified by it should be marked in memory while seeing the chart, at a later datewill provide a complete article on it. This planet signified by the starting letter will usually be strong orimportant in the chart, will give you hints about the ‘Life Path Of the Individual’ & if followed wellalong with support of planets can give ‘Immortality’. Do not ignore this method at all.

Now Michael name starts with the letter M and it stands for Saturn which in Jackson’s case isthe Asc lord in the 10H thereby making it doubly strong, is the significator of singing in JaiminiAstrology (being BK) and being the 12th lord in the 10H of career it shows this life is a result of a verydeep past life desire to become a star. Also as it is the 12L of bed pleasures and sex life, being placed in

the 10H of career he should have been careful not to allow anything on his sexuality to come out in theopen. Saturn as the 12H lord of feet and Asc Lord of body, his body and feet movements werecharacteristic and phenomenal.

Quickly see chart of Michael Angelo, M stands for Saturn it is the 3L of hands, painting andsculpting and it is placed in the 7H of Lime-Light, which is what we did in life. Madonna starts with Mand her Saturn is placed in the 4H of fortune and chastity in the sign of Scorpio (sex & hidden things,change of religion) aspecting her 10H of Taurus (2H of voice), she used extreme sensuality in her videosto stand out among the crowd of pop singers. SA team’s one volunteers fathers name starts with M andit is the 8L of Aq in the 10H with Mars in Aries (body). 8H is chronic diseases and Aries is body, thegentleman has paralysis of whole body. Paramhansa Yogananda the man who wrote the immortalclassic ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ is known as Yogananda and Y stands for Moon, which is in his 1H of

Leo (5h of natural zodiac and the house of authorship) and this Moon is the 12L of spirituality placed inthe Asc, so he gave the world something new on spirituality never to be forgotten. Elvis is E and it isruled by Sun who is his 10H of profession, which is placed in the 2H of voice of Elvis Presley with 11L ofgains, he gained money due to his profession. K N Rao is a very old Indian astrologer, the word K standsfor Mars in his Asc with 8L of occult Venus & 10L of profession and fame Moon who is dispositor ofexalted Jupiter, he is the most famous writer on mystic Indian astrology in last 100 years. Note thisMars of K is the 2nd lord of speech and correct predictions (Vak Siddhi), Mr K N Rao is known as thefinest predictor in recent times. If you speak of Mr Rao you can’t not speak of Dr B.V.Raman thelongest serving editor of an astrological magazine, some people call him B V Raman and some calledhim Raman but mainly it is B V Raman, now B stands for Saturn and R for Moon, both are placed in his

4H of education (Vidya) which he spread and was famous for it. Moon is 6L so he was famous for warpredictions successful on World War 1 & 2.

Year Of Death

Use Progression the BCP way as mentioned in Vol 3 & 4, which is 1H 1 st year, 12H is 12th year of life,again rotate it and 12H will be 24th year, 36, 48 and so on. Michael died on June 25 2009 which will be his51st year. Now 51-48(last cycle of 12) = 3H – ‘Focus House for the Year’. Now see the planets in his 3H,Mars – the significator of diseases, accidents and mysterious death (natural 8th lord of zodiac) andDragons Tail - Ketu (Ketu) - significator of accidents, untimely death, ghosts, spirits and black magic.All this in the 3H which is the secondary house of Death (8th from 8th house). Venus sits in the 6H of

accidents and shows drug overdose10

and this Ven was in Transit on this 3H along with Tr Mars

10

Venus in Indian Mythology shows herbs (Sanjeevani) which revive from death like situation but it going in a bad house

like 6H (6,8,12 are termed as bad houses in a chart in Indian astro) will show problems due to drugs (herbs).

thereby activating 3H of death, also ‘Simultaneously’ being activated by Rahu in the 10 th from it which isthe 12H of exit thereby giving him an exit in life. Ketu shows ghosts and it is reported in media that hisghost was cited at numerous occasions.

q) Moon Walk – With Moon in the Asc and 12L of legs Saturn in the 10H of ‘Trade Mark’ in thewatery sign of Scorpio – his Moon Walk became his trade mark and it was as if his feet were of Jelly.How and when will he perform we would look but for those who came in late here is what is Moonwalk. The moonwalk or backslide is a dance technique that presents the illusion of the dancer beingpulled backwards while attempting to walk forward. A breakdancing move, it became popular aroundthe world after Michael Jackson executed it during a performance of "Billie Jean" on Motown 25:Yesterday, Today, Forever on March 25, 1983. It subsequently became his signature move, and is now oneof the best-known dance techniques in the world. Now on March 25 th 198311 Michael would be in his 25th year which be 1st house as per BCP Progression of one house per year. 1H is the Asc whose lord Saturnas such signifies the legs and it is placed in the 10H of highest achievement and also 10H of knees,

Saturn is also the 12L of legs in the 10H, also ‘where Saturn sits man will come to his knees’ this hadbeen revealed in one of our previous commentaries or better put for this chart there would be a kneejerk. Note the sign where this 25th year Saturn is sitting it is Scorpio, a powerful watery sign, his feet

will move like water, akin to gliding on water and so in his 25th

year he performed what was termed as aMaster Move that won everyone’s heart and you can watch the videohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalk_%28dance%29 after the moon walk he just did that a kneejerk, bending on his knees.

r) 8L of sexuality being Mercury who is considered a neuter gender in Indian Astrology, in theinitial years the common thought he is neuter gender and has a sexuality problem or has done a sexchange.

s) Mars and Ketu in the 3H of singing gave him the aggressiveness in his voice whilst Moon in his1H saw to it that he still had the feminine flavor in him and his voice. Moon here made him like amother to all and made him distribute his money to 39 charities world over.

t) Mars is the 8L of the natural zodiac of male sexual organ and it is placed in the 3H of hands, histrade mark became his hand catching of the crouch though he was no great looker but still men womenidolized him world over with his aggressiveness on screen. The way MJ used his hands (Mars Ketu) andfeet (Saturn) no entertainer till date has been able to do so.

u)

Pepsi Ascendant

1H is head and if one fine tunes the 1H represents the area above the face i.e. the skull where the hair is

placed, over there in the 1H of hair 6

th

lord of accidents Moon is placed in the sign of Aquarius which isruled by Saturn so Moon and Saturn are two most important planets, the periods of these two in combocan give accidents to the hair, skull. All Vedic astrologers use a system of timing events calledVimshottari Dasa and on January 27, 1984 Jackson was running Saturn Main Period with Moon SubPeriod & Saturn sub-sub period when during the shooting pyrotechnics accidentally set Jackson's hairon fire. He suffered second-degree burns to his scalp. Jackson underwent treatment to hide the scars onhis scalp, and he also had his third rhinoplasty shortly thereafter. Saturn is the 12L of hospitalizationplaced in the sign of Scorpio indicating that it will be chronic. Incidentally in Vedic astrology Saturn isthe significator of hair and he was running Saturn-Moon-Saturn. You may note how many timesSaturn has repeated in the above periods when accident happened and also we mentioned earlier thatSaturn is the Philanthropist, you see Pepsi settled out of court for the accident and Jackson donated his

$1.5 million settlement to the Brotman Medical Center in Culver City, California, which now has a"Michael Jackson Burn Center" in honor of his donation. So eventually this Saturn that gave him the

11/29

accident did make him give back to the society, you can’t sue and take the money home, it is neveryours is the common mans saying hence Saturn makes you return that money back to the masses(masses significator is also Saturn).

Asc has Aq ruled by Saturn and Moon in it, the two colors for these planets are blue for Saturnand white for Moon. Michael often wore blue color shirts with white T-shirt in his videos, do youremember the super hit ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ video of his song.

How to Unlock Karma

v) Now 3H is the house of ‘UnLocking Of the 1 H of Karma’ and this aspect is not known, what is 3Hit is the house of one’s actions (hands) and the house of free will and it is only with your actions and

free will you Unlock your Karma hence the 3H is the house of Unlocking of Karma. So planets in the3H and 3L can help you Unlock Your Karma and help you achieve Karma for which you are born. Thisaspect of the 3H is something new for Indian Astrologers but it works. Now see in natural zodiac Marsthe 8L of crouch and occult & dark forces is in the 3H with Dragons Tail - Ketu (Ketu) which alsosignifies Ghosts. This combination fortified the ghost element. It is sitting in the 3H of short walks andtravelling and so it is only when he had a short walk with a girl near a crematorium (Ghosts-Ketu) andwhen he danced with the ghosts his Karma was Unlocked and the whole world sang Thriller. Ketu alsosignifies ‘Changes’ and if you remember the video of Thriller his face changed to a ghost (Ketu) andthat’s what did it for Jackson for his career as Ketu and Mars is in the 1H of Face but unfortunately thiskept on happening in his whole life.

Pending Karma or Why You are Born

Indian Astrology claims to be very karma centric and from 10,000 years of history of Indian astrology allstudents will be told at the start of their astro studies that Indian Astrology helps you see your Karma,to help you move ahead in your cycle of re-births to the next level. But unfortunately one spends 50-70years in astrology and cannot find a single reliable technique by which the student can see his pending

karma or what is that one or many thing pending in his life for which he is born. This form of foolingthe students has continued since generations and by the time one is 10 yrs old in Indian Astrology onestops thinking or asking this most vital question.Now there are many hidden techniques of finding out what is the Pending Karma in the most ancientform of astrology which is Bhrighu Astrology and only one of them is revealed here for the first time.Make no mistake that it is a ‘General Technique’. One should test it on known charts of atleast 20 beforeventuring further.

The Unknown Pending Karma Technique of Sage Bhrighu

‘Wherever the 6th Lord in a natal chart sits or the Planets in the 6H indicate the Pending Karma ofthis Life that must be Crossed to go to the Next Cycle of Birth’. This is the Block that must be

cleared & wiped out in This Life. This is the thing that will always Stop your Progress and Haunt you in this life’.

One must use this as a broad technique as this is not the only technique to find out pending karma, useit intelligently combining other tools and from various ascendants various things will be shown. Also ifthere is a planet in the 6H then see it is lord of which all houses and what it disposits, see the planetsbasic significations. Even though this technique is simple it can only be used by an expert who is master

of houses, planets and house significations – if you are not widely read then don’t use this technique norjudge it – make no mistake about what we have written above.

MJ Chart & Pending Karma

17


12/29

See in his 6H the planet of Music & Entertainment Venus is placed, his pending karma was to sing andentertain. It being in the sign of Cancer it shows that it was very creative as it’s a watery sign. Whodoes Venus disposit, it disposits the 9H of Father and Mentor, his pending karma was with his fatherand his Mentor Quincy Jones. At the same time Venus is womenfolk and some of his female friendswere very close to him, whom he helped out financially thus his pending karma was towards them.Venus is also Money and Wealth and whatever sits in the 6H one tends to lose or let go. He let go of alot of money for charities and eventually he got into further debts since 6H is the house of debts.Coming back Venus disposits the 9H where Jupiter (children) and North Node (Rahu-Scandals), hisKarma was pending towards these children where he got into scandal and also other world childrenwhom he loved as it was his Pending Karma.

Now where is his 6L placed, it is right in his 1H of self. These diseases, accidents and facial changes allwere his Pending Karma and it had to happen. Now if you read BSP-15 that is revealed in this issue inthe Indian section you will notice that the technique of where Venus sits it gives medical expenses andcan at times indicate death. Venus is in the 6H of diseases his medical expenses were phenomenal andVenus is in the 4H of medicines and 4th sign of heart. He died due to drug over-dose and due to finalheart failure (4th H and sign Cancer indicates heart). As the 6L is Moon who is lord of the sign Cancerand heart, he was considered most compassionate and as a mother to several children, why so, since it isthe 6L of Pending Karma and thus he was most compassionate, the one with a lonely heart as that washis pending karma.Let us see few more examples:-

13/29

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. (July 8, 1926 – August 24, 2004) was a Swiss-born psychiatrist and theauthor of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying, where she first discussed what is now known asthe Kübler-Ross model. She is a 2007 inductee into the National Women's Hall of Fame. She was therecipient of twenty honorary degrees and by July 1982 had taught, in her estimation, 125,000 students in

death and dying courses in colleges, seminaries, medical schools, hospitals, and social-work institutions.

Now use the Sage Bhrighu method of Pending Karma and you can see how beautifully it worksin this chart. The lady did original work on Death and Dying and became world famous, see the planetin 6H it is the planet of communication and writing Mercury who is the 8L of death, she wrote groundbreak work on Death and Dying. Now see the 6L it is Moon – she was a psychiatrist, they deal with themind, this Moon is in the 5H of authorship – she wrote the groundbreaking book Death and Dying, it iswith Sun the natural zodiac lord of authorship and real knowledge and life giver. She gave new life tothe concept of death and dying, this 6L Moon is with Rahu and rahu is the underworld and dark thingssignificator, death is considered a dark subject in most cultures. Thus you can see how Sage Bhrighusrule of Pending Karma works so well in her chart, in some charts it will not be too obvious until we

know the full story of the person so it’s no use speculating it on a chart which is only 30-40 years old.

Sylvester Stallone – It Ain’t Over Yet

19


14/29

They say if you work in the Hollywood or Bollywood industry you will not like the celebs, youwon’t be in awe of them and this was the case with us and we were not at all impressed with SlyStallone who just seemed like any other fame hungry guy who is in Hollywood until one reads aboutthis man in a book by a Sage and it seems this man was in demand back there in the Himalayas and thepeople there seems to think that Stallone has done a great service to mankind. Why ? Since this mantaught USA and the world to ‘Never Think Anything is Impossible’ ‘To Fall and Get Up, But Get Up’.When we researched on the net and talked to few oldies in the west they said that Stallone’s Rockytaught you that even though you are the underdog, even if you are a nobody just don’t give up, if youfall in life you make the fastest comeback and win the heart of your enemies. Generations have grownon the Rocky Series, each learning to fight with life’s impossible circumstances just the way Rocky didand as they say Rocky was made for Stallone and no one else could do it, he wrote it and did not get goeven when he had few dollars left in his pocket.

Now use Sage Bhrighus 6H rule, over there sits Rahu the planet of Cinemas, the 6L is Venus aplanet of entertainment in the 8H of the Underdog and the Dark Horse, who is with the 3L of acting

Saturn and hands and with Mercury, the natural lord of hands and pending karma and this Mercury isalso the 10L of profession and the 7L of public limelight and so it was his boxing (hands) movie thatgave him the famous name of the Italian Stallion and his phenomenal left punch (11L of left hand – isthe same 6L Venus of Pending Karma). All this energy in 8H with Saturn aspects his 5H of acting andthus the man who became John Rambo – the forgotten dark horse went on to create history as the

20


15/29

greatest underdog who could not deliver a single dialogue on camera, who was born physicallyhandicapped to become the Messiah for all underdogs in the world.

Lets relook this, North Node (Rahu- obstacles) is in the 6H where the sign Taurus is there, it isthe 2nd house of the natural zodiac signifying face and speech (note the 1H is classically the skull andbrain), so this 6H Rahu should show pending karma and what he ‘needs to overcome’ . Doctors usedforceps during his birth that severed a nerve and caused paralysis in parts of Stallone's face, resulting inhis signature slurred speech and drooping lower lip. There are two kinds of people one who cry and theother who use their disadvantage into an advantage, Stallone used his slurred speech to get into the bestquotes ever on screen, remember Yo, Adrian - Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa – Rocky. Then yousee the 6L again and you see it goes into the 8H of sex with Saturn, whenever Venus Saturn are in 8Hor 12H then it can lead to sexual scandals it what has been our limited observation. In Stallone’s case itshow pending karma in the sexual dept and it is only when that is finished his Karma will beUnleashed. Now read this from Wikipedia ‘Stallone had his first starring role in the softcorepornography feature film Party at Kitty and Stud's (1970), later re-released as Italian Stallion (the new titlewas taken from Stallone's nickname since Rocky and a line from the film). He was paid US$200 for twodays' work. Do you see how he had to finish this Karma which later re-surfaced in 2007.

Mahatma Gandhi – Father of the Nation

21


16/29

Let us see the Pending Karma of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of India Nation. 6th Lord is Jupiter, and weall know that Jupiter means Guru, the one who shows the way and light to his students. Jupiter is alsothe 9L of Father in natural zodiac and thus here in the case of Gandhi it is in the 7H of Public Life. Thushe became the Father of the nation, showing the way to the whole nation and the world. His teachingsare still followed worldwide and he inspired revolutions from Martin Luther King to the currentObama. Now this is for Indians, Jupiter as a planet is categorized as a Brahmin – caste which is ascholarly class and does not fight and loves to eat. Jupiter here is retrograde so it will show somequalities of a normal Jupiter and some of a retrograde and he showed here his quality of non-violence,scholarly works and as it is retrograde he created his system of fasting. If he fasts for a cause theBritishers would throw him in jail, then he would fast again in jail and the Britishers would be forced tothrow him out of jail. What a way he showed.

Barack Obama – The King

In his 6H there is Venus and the 6 th lord Mer is placed in the 7H of ‘Public Life’. It is placed with Sunwhich signifies Govt and is the King of the Planetary Cabinet, so he got the position of the King of

22


17/29

Earth (US President is considered the most powerful man) and this sun is the 8L of suddenness, whichis what happened to him. Now who is there in the 6H it is Venus which means money, so it was duringa time of economic recession he was the chosen one, now see the lordship of this Venus, it is the 10L ofGovt and 5L of power, this is what has happened in his life and this is what is his Pending Karma. Comeback to his 6L it is aspected by Saturn and Jupiter, which means he must take care of the common man(Saturn) and also the affluent (Jupiter) and as this Jupiter is the 12L of previous karma, this 6L is furtherfortified by Jupiter’s aspect. See the whole chart from Moon as the Asc, the 6L is Venus placed in the2H of administration from the moon and in the 2H of speech. He rose to power due to his speeches(more so as it is in the sign of Gemini- communication) and got into the most affluent administration ofall (Venus is affluence). This was his pending karma and you can see this is happening in the 4H ofeducation or for those who take 2H as primary education, he is doing reforms there in the educationfield – again his pending karma. You can use the natural zodiac of Aries Asc and see that his 6L isMercury sitting in the 4H of Throne with Sun the King and he is no doubt sitting in the seat of theKing.

Abraham Lincoln – Father of USA

He needs no introduction, from astro point of view his time of birth is suspect. So as we don’t

have his exact time of birth let us look at his chart in this broad technique from Moon Asc and NaturalZodiac Asc which is from Aries Asc. From Moon Asc his 6H is empty and its lord Mer who is thenatural lord of 3H in zodiac which as you read in this article 3H is the house of ‘Unlocking Of KarmaThrough Actions’ and it is with Sun (King of Planets) in 2H of administration, thus he became thePresident of United States. He successfully led his country through its greatest internal crisis, theAmerican Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery.

Now look from the natural Asc which is Aries and the 6L will always be Mer (use this hint forall charts) and it is with Sun the King in the 11H of Accomplishments of Desires & Power. This is onlybeing spoilt by Saturn whose 4th aspect spoils this Sun Mer combination of Power. It was duringSaturn/Mer period he got assassinated if we take the B rating given by ADB, thus you can see how

Saturn spoilt this Mercury (Pending Karma) combination by giving death in Saturn/Mer period.

23


18/29

George Lucas – Star Wars Film maker

6H is vacant but the 6L is Mercury the planet of communication in 1H (whole life) and with planetVenus the planet of entertainment and magnanimous wealth. So he communicated via his movieswhich were big budgets. The lord of this Venus Mer conjunction is Mars (wars-fighting) and isconjoined Dragons Head (Rahu- Movies) and thus he made movies of the unknown (Dragons Head-Rahu) which were huge and big movies (it is with Jupiter who is also expansive). This was his pendingkarma.

24


19/29

Although in some of the above examples one can clearly see how the Pending Karma technique isworking, in some cases one need to just see where Mercury is placed and in some cases you need to go tothe stronger of planet as reference or the asterism lord (nak lord) as co-association to come to theconclusion. If there are requests then in a separate article would take up other cases of how to use thissimple looking technique but extremely complex at times and only superb mastery of astrology coupledwith great intuition can help one use this technique to see the Pending Karma. Just so that when readerstry it on many charts and not find it working smoothly, the need arises to mention two points

a) There are in total as of now 4 methods that Saptarishis Astrology is aware of which are concretetechniques to find out the Pending Karma that must be done in this life to go the next level –which is the real reason behind astrology and not predictions

b)

At times it is better to switch the zodiac from Indian to Tropical (western) or Sayana System(which is also Indian and some Vedic astrologers still use it and was in vogue in 20 th century inMaharashtra) or at the same time to use both the zodiacs and then use this technique. Right nowwe are unable to comment on which zodiac to use on ‘which’ type of chart as a work calledKrishneeyam (dated around 4th or 6th century) contains a verse on the zodiac and we have beenunable to decode it exactly.

Still let us take the two zodiacs as a case study on Elvis Presley’s chart and though one must not studythis Pending Karma technique on charts of singers as classics are not clear on singers and the houses ofsingers but still let’s venture into it.

Indian Zodiac – Elvis Presley

25


20/29

With the Indian Zodiac Chart 6H is empty and 6L Mars has gone into the 11H of highest achievements.Some ancient texts give a clue on singers but mostly scared and confusing

Garga Hora Chapter 12 Verse 1248

1248. The Sun, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn in the 11th house: will be truthful, be chief in hisrace, be very wise and be skillful in singing.

Garga Hora Chapter 4 Verse 298

298. Jupiter, Venus, Saturn in the 3rd house: interested in singing, be not sinful, be interested in

women's wealth, be prosperous, will locate hidden treasures,be dear to young women

, and will be firmin friendship.

Let’s see again 6L of pending karma has gone into the 11H whose lord Mercury has gone in the 2H ofspeech and is with Sun the King of Planets, he was called the King. But still the pending karma is not soeasily seen and crystal clear. Now use Western Zodiac

Western Zodiac – Elvis Presley

The 6H is empty and the 6th lord (owner) is Venus the planet of entertainment and performance, it is inthe 2H of voice with Sun (The King & natural 5th lord of performer in the natural zodiac) and isconjoined with Mercury, the singer and communicator and natural 3rd lord of singing. The dispositor of

this 2H is Saturn who is in the 3H of singing with North Node (Rahu) the natural planet of immortalityand the groovy planet, his songs were groovy and one would go round and round about him. He had thecapability of making you drunk over him and his songs without drinking at all. This was his pendingKarma which he completed and which is the job of the astrologer to prescribe and unlock. Thus you cansee that in this particular chart of Elvis, it is more easier to use the Tropical (Sayana) zodiac to decipherhis Pending Karma than the Indian Zodiac or better it is to combine both for e.g. a Gemini Asc withIndian zodiac will have 6L Mars in the 9H of Guru, Teacher and Higher Knowledge and this nativesaim is to spread higher knowledge in jyotish and his pending karma was to serve his guru.

26


21/29

If we take the same chart via the western zodiac the Asc comes as Cancer and the 6L of Pending Karmais Jupiter in the 8H of occult and astrology in the sign of Aquarius, the native has been successful inbringing to light some rare hidden knowledge and manuscripts freely to the Astrology world, why sosince Jupiter is a planet of Light and where it sits it brings light to the house, whereas 8H of occult is adark & hidden house and here Jupiter brought out (light) the hidden knowledge in astrology unknownso far to the astrology world right into the outside world. So you combine both and you would safer, atthe same time it is easier to predict even for us when a known celeb chart is given to us but on unknowncharts that easily it is not decipherable – only experience is the best teacher.

Inability to Predict – Pre-Release of Publitorial

s a practice the Publitorial is not shared before release with even the core team members exceptMentor. This time we made an exception and shared it with some friends wanting tounderstand their view point on some of the controversial points of the Publitorial. Presented

here is an ICAS12

teacher, a voracious teacher, unbiased individual and one of the most novel researchersin modern astrology. His response to the Publitorial is reproduced here with his permission.

Dear S,

1) At the outset the editorial is really excellent. After reading this I would admit that I do not know thereal astrology.

2) My opinion is there is nothing in this editorial to be edited or removed. But it has become verylengthy and people may lose interest/track in reading it. If possible try to make it a two part. One partcan be article on "unlocking the karma".

3) Please go through the incident I am narrating here. On December 25th 1998 one person as a regularroutine started to go for morning walk at around 6:00 AM. As the climate was very chilly he woresweater and covered his face except eyes with muffler to beat the cold. After walking for sometime onecar came and stopped in front of him from back side and the person driving the car was shouting at himwith anger. Without knowing the mistake he committed he asked the man why he was shouting. Thenthe man came out of the car and said why you tried to misbehave with my wife when she went formorning walk. By this time one lady came out of the car and told her husband that this is the personwho caught her from back side when she was walking. Failing to understand what was happening tohim this person (who went for walk) tried to convince them the he is not the one who misbehaved withthe lady and probably she had mistaken identity and mistook him for someone and try to think twicebefore blaming someone for no fault. But the lady and her husband were firm and sure about the person.

This story did not stop here and both the parties trying to prove their point. The lady gave a policecomplaint on the person she identified for his mis behavior. The other side is the person was in a very

respectable post and he had a proven track record and none of his acquaintances believed that he coulddo such thing. Every one supported him and some of the lady colleagues went and spoke to the lady whohad lodged the complaint and persuaded her to withdraw the complaint. Though the lady accepted to hiscolleagues that she may be wrong but she does not want to withdraw the complaint as she was afraid ofher husband as he may take her to task for wrong identification.

Ultimately the person got rid of the complaint by the involvement of a very senior police officer withthe help of his boss. The person was unnecessarily involved in this scandal for no fault of his. Here thelady also cannot be blamed as she had mistaken the identity. But the mental agony the native had wasenormous.

Can u guess who the person is? Its' me.

DOB: 26-08-1968 TOB: 09:44a.m POB: Hyderabad. I have Rahu in the 6th house. 6th lord Jupiter is inthe 11th house (Leo) in the star of Venus. I was running Rahu - Venus dasa. Venus is Lagna lord andposited in the 11th house. If we go by BCP method I was 30years old at that time so my 6th house has tooperate in the 30th year. [SA: Going into it minutely the event is 4 months past 30 but still Rahu will operate dueto 12th aspect of Rahu]

Why I narrated this is whether you can link the unlocking karma for this incident.

Regards,

K.

23/29

Post mortem is always easy but let us answer to Mr. K’s query as to how to see pending karma.First and foremost pending karma is not one but obviously many and in many areas of one’s life. The 6th house has Rahu, if he is an astrologer he is not an astrologer from this life but from previous life 13 and itis his deepest desire to be a great astrologer (sign is Pisces), apart from that the 6L is Jupiter(knowledge) goes in the 11H of Jyotisha (astrology) in the sign of Leo (author) with Sun Mercury,seeing this we have encouraged him to become a writer and his articles have created history so far. Nowsee the sexual scandal, the 6H has Rahu that is Dragons Head and that denotes scandal as such and it isin the 12th sign which signifies bed pleasures and sex so again something to do with that can happen.Then see 6L has gone in the 11H with Sun (Govt/boss) and Venus (woman) and Mercury (colleagues)with A8 (scandals) and this Venus is the 8L of scandals. It was his boss (Sun) who called up senior

police officers (Sun) and with help of colleagues (Mercury) that the problem (Venus) got solved. Thiswas his pending karma that he had to face unfortunately. Also since 11H is that of wife and children,

either he must have gotten married or have had a child and after some time this scandal wouldhave erupted in his life, we don’t know re the same but will have to check. What we must admit isthough we had this chart since one year we could ourselves not see this scandal pending karma since thenative is one of the straightest men we have ever known and only thing that we saw was his pendingkarma of an astrologer and writer that’s it. Technique no doubt works to the T but every timeapplicability with 100 % accuracy only a Sage can do and let us astrologers start admitting it for a start.Also what must be added here is though the chart holder says after reading this editorial that he realizedhe does not know astrology, our posting the verbatim letter with his permission is not to show to theworld that teachers of astrology are below us or we above them in knowledge. If only we at SaptarishisAstrology could be allowed by our families to tattoo on our hands ‘I Do Not Know Astrology’ it wouldbe one of those honest & most cherished moments in our life. May our Epitaph have it.

The moment more amount of astrologers come to know of a technique the planets who areconstantly creating & have consciousness come up with new methods to decode and deliver their resultsthereby making the task of astrologers difficult, this is an unknown secret but that is the reason one of

the sages like Parasara said around 3000 years back that even great sages14

cannot easily decipher themovement and results of the planets.

C.S.Patel Manuscript Centric Issue ow comes that part which an editor or publisher dreads, you as a publisher or editor or head ofan organization needs to appear publicly as the goody goody guy who can never get personal orattack anyone or any concept personally and can’t be expected to write anything apart from

technical astrology. If you follow this you will become acceptable in all quarters and other organisationswill call you abroad and all over India and by the end of your life felicitate you which every editorwants. But no one wants to take the issue of astrology that will make the ‘Real Change’. No one wantsto do the ‘Dirty Job’, no one has so far. No one wants to call a spade a spade and take the bull by the hornsince it is considered bad manners and more enemies are born and at the end of the day no awards, no

felicitations by Indian and Foreign organisations or no one will call you for lectures by which you canmake more money. Here at this crossroad where our image so far has been the goody-goody guys wemust take a bold step for what we stand for and believe in and to put the money where our mouth is. Itis for this reason we started Saptarishis Astrology and not for doing PR services and pleasing everyone.So in this issue the Publitorial will be divided into 2 parts one where the Western cum Indian astrologercan understand and the 2nd part where more of the Indian astrologers will be able to understand but thewestern astrology astrologer is requested to also read that for some rare points on technical astrology. Sonow we must talk & understand the meaning of Knowledge.

1.1 Process of Knowledge Dissemination

t takes one to be fortunate to realize that by the end of our lifetimes we are not able to even master

one single work15

(book) of a Sage or ancient writer and the maximum that is available in Englishlanguage is around 20 classics out of which the modern astrologer has read utmost 2 classics that too

even after 20 years in this subject. Forget mastering them. We once read an interview of a very famousVaranasi astrologer in Hindi (national language of India) who said the problem in astrology is it is ascience of extreme hard work since the available literature in astrology that needs to be read is around3000 books (in Hindi) who has the time for it, most start shop after 15 books. Can you see the numbersdifference between what an English reading Indian astrologer and a Hindi reading Indian astrologer is ?The English reading Indian astrologer is the most poorly read, having non-classical basis, no true guru

and has to resort to intuition for predictions or websites where he can alter his mundane astrology

14

He mentioned Sage Vasishtha and Brihaspati in his verse.15

Mentor has a more extreme and honest view, he says understanding a single verse of a Sage can take lifetimes if one islucky. His view is not of arrogance this, scholars of astrology who have pursued it with honesty will agree.

predictions after the event has happened and show it as if he predicted it before hand, a practicefollowed nowadays.

1.2 Minds Don’t Want Knowledge To Come Out

he process of knowledge dissemination is the most difficult in astrology not because it is acomplex subject but due to the mentality of those associated with astrology. Famous astrologerstry their level best not to allow knowledge to come out, this is most unfortunate yet true part

even among the legends of astrology whom we students have idolized and when we come to know thereal truth about these Legends we feel ashamed that we idolized them since these were the ones whohoarded good quality knowledge and manuscripts and only wanted to become the Modern Fathers ofAstrology to achieve fame. Whereas in the West it is far easier for knowledge to come out, if you haveastro knowledge in the west, you sell it via classes, lectures, teach per hour or through books and youcharge fees towards it but atleast the knowledge and experience of the astrologers goes out to the world.Most western students of this science hence stick to teachers from their continent due to this and ease ofaccent and non-judgmental nature of their western teachers. Over here in India the mentality of thosewho hoard knowledge is to make students their slaves and still not give out the full knowledge unlessthe student is a celeb or a Richie-rich guy or a woman, preferably a beautiful woman. For generations oftraditions in astrology grew with certain norms and rules to safe guard their knowledge and thus their

interests to not allow their neighbor astrologer to earn more claiming that it is to be given to only thedeserving. But now a new trend has arisen in India, to give out tradition secrets when only invitedabroad & minor ones in India or give those traditional big secrets when one can charge huge dollars incourses to their Pets (chamchas in Indian language). They swear by traditional secrecy but it comes out

when $ is flashed or when a woman student comes in. All of us have seen so many teachers falter to thisproblem and it is natural, as at the end of the day all of us are humans and who doesn’t like $. None ofus are holier than thou.

1.3 Availability of Knowledge

ost of the astrological knowledge is held in manuscripts which are either in Latin, Greek,

Sanskrit and likewise other ancient texts. The need of the hour since last 100 years of dyingexperts in these languages is to translate them into English the most universal language andthen to test that knowledge on hundreds of charts and then find out what is our lacking inunderstanding that verse or aphorism. Let us give an example there was one of the most brilliant ofastrologers in India somewhere in the 6th century called Varahamihira who wrote a monumental piece ofwork called Brihat Jataka but at the end he wrote that he has coded all the verses in that text. From thenon till now millions of Indian astrologers have studied his work and 100’s have translated this samework but it was only one man in the early 20th century who gave a new meaning to one of the versesfrom the said work on which we wrote an article called ‘The 19th Verse’ in the 2nd issue (volume 2). Itwas ignored and left out by scholars in the 20th century due to rivalry. But that verse has so much ofhidden knowledge that we ourselves have been able to write on it only on one part and it reveals a new

system of timing events but still there are more than 10 articles and techniques that can be derived fromit, admin work takes up our time and the pain of not writing on those hidden methods in that 19th verse.So you see what the original writer wrote in the 6 th century, his work easily available but the truemeaning of the verse took around 1500 years to come by and then the process will start of aggressivelytesting it and then after some 40-50 years it will either be accepted as a dictum or rejected, which meanseven we can be wrong. This is the case of where the manuscript was available. What about thetechniques where the manuscript is not available at all.

1.4 Non-Availability of Knowledge

ere comes the part where a lot of knowledge is available in manuscripts but no one takes theeffort to bring it out. If you bring it out no one will appreciate it and infact will see to it thatyou don’t bring it out. The way they go about discouraging you cannot even be mentioned in

this space. The astrologers in India are one of the poorest; few lots lack funds but most lack theinspiration on their own and the willingness to give out those manuscripts. With millions of

T

manuscripts lying untouched in every city library in India no one cares for them but everyone cries forthem, this is our state. One will easily see in a discussion between 2 astrologers that people don’t removeknowledge out but the knowledge those 2 astrologers have will not be removed due to some secrecy lawthat they themselves cannot explain or comprehend. Publishers in India have failed in their efforts tobring out even 1% of these manuscripts into the public limelight and the maximum we can see is 30-40quality classics coming out in India in last 100 years in English with poorest of commentaries except afew and not so apt translations due to complexities of ancient languages which give multiple meanings.As such publishing in India is not a profitable business. People can say that inspite of their being morethan 10,000 astro organisations in every lane of India which is true and no exaggeration and 1000s oftrusts being formed by astrologers in the name of astrology by famous astrologers not a single one ofthem can be credited to bring out 5 quality manuscripts with commentaries out for the general astroaudience. If we say this, then all will become our enemies but someone has to start with the dirty job,how does one inspire organisations especially international organisations to bring out translations ofmanuscripts? The problem is worse in International Vedic Organisations who have not been able tocontribute in translation of manuscripts inspite of having better sanskrit scholars abroad who are morededicated, honest and meticulous in their job. We can only request that this piece of Publitorial inspiresthem to come forward in this, do joint ventures with Indian counter parts. Their complaint of notgetting manuscripts can be no longer a complain since Saptarishis Astrology volunteers and friends

have already uploaded numerous manuscripts and let us tell you this is just a start. The other problemfaced by many is the amount of red tapeism and bureaucratic hurdles one faces while getting manuscriptfrom libraries across India. Traditions that have manuscripts are a joke in the name of astrology as theyhave not understood the meaning of Knowledge (Gyaan) since if they had they would have freely givenaway those manuscripts and not hoarded it themselves. The only man to impress us so far was ShriMadura Shastry from a village in India (Andhra) who said ‘This knowledge is not mine, it belongs tothe Sages. The Sages worked for the common man and this must be given out to the people’. He has

over 50 years distributed and donated rarest of rare manuscripts, no one like him. He is the Karana16

ofAstrology.

1.5 Purpose Of Knowledge (Gyaan)

hy do you need knowledge since ‘The Main Reason behind Unhappiness is InsufficientKnowledge’. Actually the correct translation might not come out in previous sentence so forIndians here it is ‘Dukha Ka Main Karan Hota Hain Agyaan’. This is what mentor has

always taught us. Our own concept of knowledge was perverted and limiting since we grew up in Indiawhere every senior astrologer and teacher teaches you that you must not give away astro informationeasily. They teach you by example that you must make the student suffer, beg before you and worshipyou before it is given, but still don’t give it to all who do the begging and worshipping. They put a lot ofmyth and superstition to it and quote the verses of Sages. In 2006 this perversion took extreme formwhen we would write in forums or speak to our best friends in coded language and never give out a fulltechnique. Even our hand written notes in text books were coded in such a manner that anyone who

borrows our books (borrowing books happens a lot in India) will not be able to understand it. Now weourselves can’t decode what we coded. Later we found out that this happens to most astrologers. But itwas only when we re-read the Last Book of Astrology, where the old Sage compares two forms ofknowledge. He says what great miracle can astro information do, it can make some astrologer predictbetter or solve a humans difficulties by apt guidance. Then the Sage says that look at the man whoinvented the medicine for Polio, do we even remember his name, no we don’t. He says today a by-passoperation of the heart can be done since someone somewhere in the world understood the meaning andpower of true knowledge and shared it to everyone in the medical fraternity and thus world-over thisoperation can be done, yes at a price, so what, atleast price (Fate) can get you that knowledge by whichyour life can be saved, can your astro knowledge truly save a life, so why do you all hide knowledge inthe name of God and secrecy. Have you who recite mantras for hours for decades understood the

meaning of knowledge whereas a kid in medical science understands it so easily. The Sage is then asked,

16

Karana was a historical figure some 3000 years back who was known as the biggest donator ever. The only cause of

controversy among scholars is did he do it for name or was it out of real help to the down trodden.

how come some of the past sages then mentioned that this knowledge should not be given to everyone.Our Sage of the Last Book of Astrology replies

a) Yes the past sages said don’t give it to everyone but to deserving, but they never said that don’t giveit to the ones in your own astrologers’ fraternity, atleast share it within your fraternity, otherwisewhy would each Sage of previous eras write a book in the first place.

b) Some of you might argue that they never wrote a book but spoke it to their students and it was notmeant to be written about, if so and if this mistake has happened then why do you prescribe divineforesight to us Sages, could we not see that this knowledge of ours would be written about and alsomis-used by many, were we very bad at Muhurtha (Election Time) of when we started our spokendiscourse.

c) Understand the meaning of Karma and don’t talk about Karma, Karma, Karma for 24 hours in yourwritings and lectures when you have no clue of it. If a doctor writes and shares his discovery andmedical practices for use by other doctors, then when the other doctors use it to help people, somepart of that good karma will always come to the originator who shared that method or became aplatform for that method to be shared. So if you as an astrologer decided to share your knowledge

without ego, without the need for fame then pure part of this energy will go to other astrologers whoin turn will use it to help people and that good karma will in turn come back to you one day. If youdecide to share it for fame or only for money then the quantity and quality of karma coming back toyou will be reduced but not wiped out.

d) Today if only few have good knowledge of astrology then they tend to abuse it by sitting onThrones created by themselves, deriding others and wanting to not let go of the Throne and also notallowing others to grow. So when good quality astro information comes out and is available to allthen misuse of power does not happen since there is no exclusivity left. It’s like air, it is freelyavailable everywhere, there is no tax on it. Plus most important is the karma of astrologers is notspoilt by giving wrong predictions and guidance as they would have superior techniques. People

have over thousands of years said something wrong about astrologers that they should not see thefuture and since they see the future their family lives is destroyed and poverty sets in on theastrologer and his family. This is wrong though not totally untrue, yet here I would say it is the badkarma of giving wrong advice and wrong predictions without studying into the science for 50-60years that too with true honesty that makes their karma bad and their families suffer and povertyreins in. When you see a chart first see if it is written in the chart if he/she would get goodpredictions and direction in life, if it is not written then don’t predict. What do I say you all don’tknow how to see this? You all don’t even know in which charts astrology will not work, you alldon’t even know when your own predictions will fail. If you can’t see how and when yourpredictions will fail how you will see honestly see chart of another. No doubt your lot is laughed

behind your back when your own wife is cheating on you and you did not see it, when your owndownfall you failed to predict or prevent through your remedial measures of mantras etc.

e) Energy Exchange is a concept that has been there from the start in the form of donation to teacher(dakshina) and most of you don’t want to understand the meaning of Energy Exchange and thus youall don’t allow knowledge to not come out. Look in the past 10 years how the energy has changed in

the world, how knowledge is available across boundaries. We of the ______ Lineage17

realized themistake that has happened for thousands of years from our end and now we are trying to change it,there is resistance from ‘Energy Consciousness’ itself, it’s not easy to explain, the Old Energy is toostrong and the New Energy is too weak. Raise the level of Astrologers Consciousness and in fewdecades the Energy Consciousness will change and the resistance would be reduced, knowledge will

come out more. Those who have hidden manuscripts and knowledge, those who gave knowledge in

bits and pieces and made you crave for it, beg for it, made you worship them, these past heroes ofyours, their names will come out and they will be the ones flogged in public forums, mark thesewords there is no 99% in this prediction. When the Energy will shift, when the magnetic field ofearth is corrected once again, when the shift is complete then these gurus will fall and 6 year old kidswill come and flog them openly. These kids will blame you as to how come you allowed these gurusto be created in the first place, how did you follow them, how did you become part of theirorganisations, did you not have a decent bone in your body or were you only after some position intheir organization and to create money thereby. Forget you being judged after death, you will bejudged now by the New Kids On The Block.

f) Think of the science of medicine which gave you birth in the first place, yes you the astrologer wasgiven birth by some doctor who got that knowledge from somewhere, since someone gave hisknowledge and experience openly to your doctor for your well-being. When knowledge (ofmedicine) did not distinguish you on taking this birth in a healthy manner in terms of caste, creedand sex, to give you the best health to enjoy the fruits of God’s creation, who are you to deny that tothe world by withholding your knowledge of astrology and hiding your manuscripts, whether thatknowledge directly helps or indirectly helps.

g)

The true meaning and worth of knowledge is when it is of use to increase the quality of life ofcreatures, real quality increase and not illusionary increase. If it can’t increase then it shalst only becalled theory or illusionary theory that you learn in classrooms but can’t apply to help anyone.Meditate on this for days and then you will be able to sift through a good teacher and an illusiongiver teacher, between a good technique and an illusionary one.

t was only after thinking on what the Sage has written and observing how medical science hasprogressed in the last 100 years due to openly sharing of knowledge and helping millions worldwide,by comparing the primitive progress of astrologers we realized something. Then when we compared

the egos of doctors who save millions of creatures and don’t brag or boast about
