Know About Bhrigu Nadi - A Short Sequence of Notes

Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Jupiter’s influence – A Bhrigu Study - Post One

Astrology has a number of different systems, one of which is the Nadi System. In this system, much value is given to the rotation of Jupiter. Following are my short notes that I have scribbled down for the sake of the readers. These are a few astrology related principles that can be absorbed by the readers for a better understanding. Although, there is no doubt that the holistic approach pays better, still a reader will find these notes interesting.

As per the Bhrigu principle, the stay period of Jupiter in a house is of 12 years. For instance, if somebody is born under the influence of Jupiter in Aries then that person would remain powered by the position of Jupiter for the next 12 years. And when Jupiter will be taken into a new house after the completion of these 12 years, the influence on the person will change. I will explain it further later.

It should be kept in mind that value has to be given to the sign in which Jupiter is placed along with its relationship with all the other planets. Another thing to note is that the planets that are placed in the 11th house from Jupiter will offer good results for a person especially the KARTATWA, which are portrayed by those planets.

Jupiter’s strength is dependent on the DISPOSITOR of the Lord, where it is placed. Supposedly if Jupiter is placed in Aries then the position of Mars plays a vital role. If the depositor is placed in the house 6th, 8th or 12th, the overall strength is diminished. The worst situation would be when the depositor would be in the 8th house. The conclusion is that if the depositor is not placed well then the results will not be positive irrespective of whether Jupiter is placed in a good sign or not.

If you wish to calculate the result of each year then you need to study the transition of Jupiter that remains for a year in one house. Keep in mind that only those very events will prosper that are promised in the 12 years. The position of Jupiter and its relationship with other planets (conjunction, relationship with the depositor lord and even opposition) will decide this. I hope the readers are aware of the Kartatwas and the role of planets. I will explain it later on my site.

Besides Jupiter, another relevant planet is Saturn. Saturn represents all results associated with livelihood for the father (SUN), mother (Moon) or the native. Both of these planets are important when it comes to the matters of livelihood.

Saturn represents Work and Saturn’s relationship with other planets and its own position is valuable. However, Jupiter influences the action that leads to the enjoyment of the soul. In other words, it can be said that all the activities of life that your soul takes pleasure in (bad and good) can be deciphered by reading the position of Jupiter (according to the Nadi System). On the other hand, the transfer of Saturn is supplemented by the KARAK and this is used for the predictive part (Saturn rules Livelihood and Venus the issues related to Marriage etc.).

These observations are according to the Nadi system and in my next post I will talk about the effect of Jupiter when it transports in the first round over other planets.

Effects of Venus in the Twelve Houses - Part II

by Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Venus in the Seventh House

If Venus is in the seventh house, the native will be highly sexed and romantic. He will be wealthy and will take interest in women other than his wife also. He will possess conveyances, will be efficient in his work, will play foul with women and will have a family consisting of brothers and wife etc. If Venus is associated with a malefic or is in the house of a malefic or in his sign of debilitation (Virgo) there will be loss of his wife but he will marry again. If there are many malefics with Venus, the native will have to marry many times on account of successive loss of his wives. In this situation the native will have no children. If Venus is associated with a benefic or in his own or in his sign of exaltation (Pisces) the native will become very wealthy on account of gift of wealth by his in-laws. He will be very influential with the help of his wife and will be surrounded by women.

The logical reasons - Venus is a planet of emotion, passion and love. These are the significations of the 7th house also. When Venus is in the 7th, the native becomes highly sexed and has therefore many love affairs. As Venus is the Karaka for the 7th house, it also causes a dosha called Karako Bhava Nasya and gives a few negative influences. Venus aspects the ascendant from the 7th house. The native therefore will become very attractive for women. He will also be wealthy and will possess all comforts of life including conveyances. If Venus is afflicted he has to suffer loss of his wife and may have to marry more than once. A dignified Venus brings wealth for the native from his wife’s parents. He becomes a favourite of women and is always surrounded by them. We, however, feel that if Venus is aspected by or associated with Jupiter both the native and his wife will be very chaste and will enjoy a very happy married life. In the seventh house Venus will be in Kendra to the ascendant. The disposition of Venus in his sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga.

Venus in the Eighth House

The native will be happy, long lived and equipped with all kinds of comforts, very wealthy, like a king owner of lands and happy. His mother will suffer from a throat trouble in his fourth year. He will have a long span of life and will be sickly. He will have a devoted wife but he will be discontented. If Venus is in the house of a benefic, (or associated with a benefic) the native will enjoy full span of life. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, the native will be short lived.

The logical reasons - Venus is a great benefic (only 2nd to Jupiter) and will aspect the second house (Dhana bhava) and will therefore make the dative wealthy. It will improve the longevity and will give inheritance as 8th rules these.

Venus in the Ninth House

If Venus is in the ninth house, the native will be religious minded, will devote himself to meditation and will perform religious rites, he will have very auspicious signs in his foot (like lotus, ankush, conch, etc), will enjoy all kinds of comforts and will be blessed with children. The father of the native will be long lived. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic there may be loss of father early in native’s life. Again if Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, or is in the house of a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation, there will be loss of wealth and the native will have illicit relations with the preceptor’s wife. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a benefic (or is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation), the native will enjoy high prosperity as a result of Maharaja yoga. If Venus is associated with the lord of the 4th or 7th house, the native will be exceedingly fortunate and enjoy the comforts of all kinds of conveyances, dresses and ornaments.

The logical reasons - The ninth house is the most auspicious house. 9th denotes father, religion, Guru and also 5th from 5th children. When a great benefic is posited there, all the good significations of the house will become fruitful. The results will become more beneficial when Venus is associated with or aspected by benefics and is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. When Venus is in his own sign Taurus, the ascendant will be Virgo and Venus will be in the 9th as lord of the 2nd and when Venus is in his own sign Libra, the ascendant will be Aquarius, and Venus will be in the ninth as lord of the 4th and 9th houses. These are very powerful Dhana yogas.

Venus in the Tenth House

If Venus is in the tenth house, the native will be full of glory. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, the native will have difficulties and obstacles in his undertakings. If Venus is associated with Mercury, Jupiter and Moon, the effects will be as under:- (a) The native will enjoy the comfort of many conveyances. (b) He will perform religious ceremonies of many kinds. (c) He will enjoy world wide reputation. (d) He will enjoy many Raja yogas that is, he will be wealthy, honoured and famous. (e) He will be very fortunate and talkative.

The logical reasons - Venus gives very beneficial results in the tenth in respect of the significations of this house of profession - unless afflicted. The results will be far more beneficial when Venus gets associated with three benefics-Jupiter, Mercury and Moon. All the effects given are logical and relevant to the significations of the tenth house. For the Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus will be in the 10th, as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th the 4th and 9th respectively. For the Cancer ascendant, Venus will be in the 10th as lord of 4th and llth. These dispositions give rise to very powerful Dhana yogas. When Venus is posited in the 10th in his own sign (lord of 10th in 10th), a distinguished Raja yoga is formed which will confer great wealth, name and fame upon the native. Venus in the tenth is in Kendra to the ascendant. The disposition of Venus there in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga.

Venus a benefic being in the 10th to the ascendant also gives rise to the Amala yoga: “The person will achieve lasting fame and reputation. His character will be spotless and he will lead a prosperous life”.

Venus in the Eleventh House

If Venus is in the eleventh house, the native will be learned, very wealthy, owner of lands and kind hearted. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a benefic the native will enjoy the comforts of many conveyances. If Venus is in conjunction with a malefic, the gain of wealth will be through questionable means. If Venus is associated with a benefic the financial gains will be through rightful means. If Venus is in his sign of debilitation or is associated with a malefic or the lord of 8th, 6th or 12th there will be no financial gains.

The logical reasons -The effects given in the above Sutras are very logical and relevant to the significations of the eleventh house. For Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius and Cancer ascendants, Venus will be in the eleventh, as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th, the 4th and 9th and the 4th and llth respectively. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. Another very gainful position for Venus in the eleventh will be in her sign of exaltation. Then Venus will be exalted in the llth as lord of the ascendant (Taurus ascendant).

Venus in the Twelfth House

If Venus is in the twelfth house, the native will face exterme poverty. If Venus is associated with a malefic the native will be inclined towards sexual indulgences. If Venus is associated with a benefic the native will be very wealthy, will have all comforts of bed (sexual pleasures) and will go to heaven after death. He will go to hell if Venus is associated with a malefic.

The logical reasons -The above Sutras are self explanatory and need no comments as the 12th is the house of expenses, losses and Moksha or liberation/after death.

Gautam Gambhir’s raise as a crickter – the astrological facts

by Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

In my article on Virender Sehwag, in the April 2008 issue, I emphasized the importance of 3rd and 6th lords, the lords of courage and competition, in case of sports persons. These should be well supported by the Bhaysdhipati 9th, Karmadhipati 10th and 11th of gains.

The raise to fame of Crickter Gautam Gambhir is yet another pointer which proves this.


Please note I follow the 360 days per year Dasa calculations as give in the Vedic astrology scriptures.

From 09-6-2000 to 09-5-2006 Gautam Gambhir was going through his Sun Mahadasa. Sun is his 3rd lord, placed in the 4th house along with his 9th lord Saturn and 10th lord Jupiter, forming a powerful Rajayoga. Sun catapulted him to fame and recognition. It becomes more auspicious as it is Vargottama. However Sun in the 4th house also causes fluctuating fortunes and till the end of Sun Mahadasa on 9-5-06, Gautam went through quite a few ups and downs and was in and out of the Indian squad.

In 2000, as soon as his 3rd lord Sun’s mahadasa started, Gautam Gambhir's attacking stroke play for Delhi made people take note of him as a future Indian prospect. After several good knocks, his success took him close to the Indian side when Zimbabwe toured early in 2002. He scored successive double centuries ­ one for Delhi and another for the Board Presidents' XI against the tourists and seemed to be a certainity as Shiv Sunder Das's opening partner. But the selectors persisted instead with the old solution of Deep Dasgupta.

Gambhir went on pressing his case with good knocks in the West Indies with the Indian A side early in 2003. When several senior players asked to be rested after the World Cup, Gambhir was selected for the national squad for the TVS Cup in Dhaka. And then, the biggest reward: a call-up into India's Test squad for the fourth Test against Australia at Mumbai, in 2004-05. He failed to cement his spot in either Test or ODI team.

Soon after his Moon dasa started, his luck changed as Moon is placed in his 11th house of gains. Gambhir was selected for the One Day International on India's 2007 tour of Bangladesh. Gambhir scored century on that tour on May 12th 2007 and was subsequently selected for the One Day International on India's tour to Ireland in 2007. He scored an unbeaten 80 on 23rd June 2007 against Ireland in the first game of that tour and was awarded the man of the match award for that effort.

Gambhir was selected in India's squad for the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, from September 11 to September 24, 2007. That was during his Moon/Mars period and Mara is his 6th lord well placed in the 3rd house. It was a period of crowning glory for him. Gambhir performed very well in the shortest form of the game, ending the tournament as India's top run scorer, with 227 at an average of 37.83, including three half-centuries which included a crucial 75 runs off 54 balls against Pakistan in the final.

In the 2007-08 CB Series in March 2008 , during Moon/Rahu period also he scored a career-best 113 off 119 balls against Australia. He finished the CB series as the leading run-scorer with 440 runs.

Even during the current IPL tournament, he has already given a very good performance in the 1st match and will continue to do wee as his rahu is well placed in his chart – both in lagna and Navamansa.

Venus effects in Astrological Houses - Part I

by Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

If Jupiter is the Guru of the Devatas, Venus is the Guru of the Rakshasas and under his guidance the demons gave a solid beating to the Gods on many occasions. Associated with beauty, love, knowledge and wealth, Venus is the second best benefic of the nine planets. The following are the results of Venus placed in the twelve houses from lagna.

Venus in the First House

If Venus is in the first house (ascendant) the native will be proficient in mathematics and long lived. He will be loved by his wife, fond of ornaments, good dresses and beauty. He will be liked by women, will be wealthy and learned. If Venus is in conjunction with a benefic, the native will have a lustrous body shining like gold and will own many ornaments. If Venus is associated with of aspected by a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation (Virgo), the native will be a thief and a cheat and will suffer from rheumatic and phlegmatic diseases. If the lord of the first is associated with Rahu the native will suffer from hydrocil. If Venus is in the ascendant and the fourth house is occupied by a benefic, the native will own elephants (conveyances) and enjoy high prosperity. If Venus is in his own sign (Taurus or Libra) the native will enjoy Maharaja yoga (great name, fame and wealth). If Venus is lord of the 8th, 6th or 12th.house or is weak, the native will have two wives, his fortune will be fluctuating and he will be hard hearted.

The logical reasons -The effects given are logical and relevant to the significations of Venus and the first house. If Venus is lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native will suffer from evil effects. If Venus is in his own sign (Taurus or Libra) the native will enjoy Maharaja yoga. For Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus is a yoga karaka planet, being lord of 2nd and 9th houses, lord of 5th and 10th-houses, and lord of 4th and 9th houses, respectively. Such Venus in the ascendant will prove immensely beneficial to the native and bring him, name, fame, wealth, conveyances and all worldly comforts. If Venus in the ascendant (Lagna Kendra) is in his sign (Taurus or Libra) or in his sign of exaltation, Malavya yoga (a Panch Mahapurusha yoga) will be formed:-“The person will have a well developed physique, will be strong minded, wealthy, happy with children and wife, will command vehicles, endowed with clean sense organs and be renowned and learned.”

Venus in the Second House

The native will be wealthy, will have a family, will get good food to eat, will have attractive eyes and will be of humble nature, kind hearted and helpful to others. He will get a beautiful wife in his 32nd year. If the lord of the second is weak or is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native will suffer from eye troubles. If Venus is associated with Moon (while the lord of the 2nd is in 6th, 8th or 12th), the native will suffer from night blindness, without any family and sufferer of eye troubles and will squander away his wealth.

The logical reasons –The results are relevant to the significations of the second house. Venus rules wealth also and the owner of the natural 2nd house of the zodiac. Venus will give still better results if he is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, in the second house. When Venus is in Taurus, the ascendant will be Aries and he will be in the 2nd, as lord of 7th and 2nd houses. If he is in Libra, the ascendant will be Virgo and he will be in the 2nd as lord of 9th and the 2nd houses. When Venus is in Pisces (sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Aquarius and he will be in the 2nd exalted as lord of the 4th and 9th houses. These are all very powerful

Venus in the Third House

If Venus is in the third house, the native will be very miser, he will be tolerant, there will be a good number of brothers and the native will have success by his determined efforts. Later on, the number of brothers will decrease. In successive order the native’s brothers will have less and less of financial gains by their efforts. If the lord of the third house is strong, is in his own or in his sign of exaltation, there will be increase in the number of brothers. If the lord of the third house is in the 6th, 8th or 12th house or he is associated with malefics there will be loss of brothers. The native will be a miser, happy and wealthy. Wife will dominate over the native, he will not be courageous and will be unfortunate.

The logical reasons -There will be growth in the number of brothers as benefic Venus will do good but as a natural 12th from the natural 3rd it causes harm also. Similarly by aspecting the 9th will cause wealth and as 9th from 7th will give a dominating wife.

Venus in the Fourth House

If Venus is in the fourth house, the native will be handsome, intelligent, will have happiness from brothers, will be happy and of forgivable nature. In his 30th year he will possess conveyances pulled by horses. He will also have abundance of milk. If the lord of the fourth house is strong the native will possess horses, palanquins and gold etc. If the lord of the fourth house, is associated with a malefic, is in the house of a malefic or his enemy or is debilitated or is otherwise weak, the native will be without lands or conveyances. His mother will be in distress and he will have illicit relations with women other than his wife.

The logical reasons -The placement of Venus in the fourth will be beneficial to the native in regard to the significations of the fourth house and more so if the lord of the fourth is well placed. Happiness from brothers if Venus is in the fourth as the 4th is 2nd from the 3rd. In the fourth house Venus will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga. The placement of Venus for Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants will prove very beneficial as Venus will be in the fourth as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th and the 4th and 9th respectively. These dispositions will give rise to powerful

Venus in the Fifth House

The native will be full of wisdom and will be a minister or commander of the army. He will have the good luck of seeing his grand mother alive, will have a young wife and also children. He will be respected and honoured by Government, will be a clever minister and his wife will be full of happiness. If Venus is associated with a malefic or is in the house of a malefic or in his sign of debilitation, the native will be dull headed and will remain in want of children. If Venus is associated with a benefic or is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation the native will be very wise, will be versed in worldly affairs and will have children and conveyances.

The logical reasons - Venus will give very beneficial effects if in the 5th house in accordance with the significations of that house as it is 2nd from 4th, 9th from 9th & 11th from 7th. For Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus will prove still more beneficial as Venus is a yogakarka for these ascendants and fifth is a very auspicious house for any planet to be placed in.

Venus in the Sixth House

If Venus is in the sixth house, the native will have good number of relations, there will be destruction of enemies and the native will have children and grand children. He will incur wasteful expenditure, will be deceitful and will suffer from diseases, will have bitterness towards his wife. If the lord of the sixth house is strong there will be increase in the number of relations and enemies. If the lord of the sixth is associated with a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation or is associated with Moon, there will be loss of relations and destruction of enemies.

The logical reasons - If Venus is in the sixth house the native amongst other things will have children and grand children as it is the 2nd from the 5th. Waste because 12th is the house of waste & Venus is Dhana Karaka. Bitterness towards wife as the 6th is the 12th from the 7th. If the lord of the sixth is strong, there will be increase in the number of enemies. If he is weak there will be destruction of enemies. The logic behind this is that if the sixth house gets strength, there will be more enemies and diseases and if the sixth house is weak there will be no diseases and no enemies. cont...
