5.12 Bhrigu Bindu

5.12.1 Bhrigu Bindu is an imaginary, but very sensitive mid-point of Rahu-Moon axis. When any planet, benefic or malefic including Rahu & Ketu, during transit aspects or conjuncts this point, some momentous favourable or unfavourable events takes place. This Bindu (point) is arrived at by adding the longituders of the Moon and Rahu (counted from zero degree of Aries) and then dividing the total by 2. For example if in a natal chart, the Moon is in Taurus at 19 degree, 47’ and Rahu is in Leo at 29 degree 27’. Then the Bhrigu point will be (1-19-47 + 4-29-27)/ 2 = 3- 9- 44’ or 9 degrees 44’ in sign Cancer. The lord of the sign occupied by Bhrigu Bindu, always give good results provided it is not weak.

5.12.2 The Moon, Sun, Mercury & Venus, during their cycle will form two such results, one of aspect (7th) and the other of conjunction. The outer planets, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn will form four such results per cycle, three for aspects (4th, 7th & 8th by Mars, 5th, 7th & 9th by Jupiter and 3rd & 7th, & 10th by Saturn) and one for conjunction in each of their average cycle of 18 months, 12 years & 30 years respectively. It should always be remembered that the effects of transit by conjunction are more potent than those by aspect. There is some doubt about Rahu & Ketu, but normally it is considered similar to those of Jupiter in each of their cycle.

5.12.3 A benefic Jupiter during transit, as referred above, will give favourable results such as progress in studies, birth of children, getting employment/ marriage, promotion in service/ business, increase in wealth or fulfillment of long cherished desires. Fast moving benefic planets like Venus, Mercury or Moon, will indicate small gain of wealth/ happiness, meeting of friends/ relations, pilgrimage, rejoicings & festivities etc. Some times when two or more benefics simultaneously aspect/ conjunct this mid-point, give increasing magnitude of favourable results. Benefic planets & Bhrigu Bindu, if posited in Kendra/ Trikone to each other in natal chart, produce good & auspicious results.

5.12.4 Saturn, a slow moving planet, during transit over the Bindu produces unfavourable results such as chronic sickness, domestic unhappiness, sickness/ separation from family, sudden loss of wealth or even death etc. Mars has a peculiar liking for blood, accidents, quarrels and Sun acts a separatist or unhappy situations. Transit of Rahu/ Ketu causes events all of a sudden, on a big scale and from unexpected quarters, mental sufferings/ worries due to state actions, or poisonous infection etc. A weak planet when transiting Bhrigu Bindu, always gives bad results relating to the house it owns. But lords of malefics houses, having minimum strength and having 6th or 8th position in relation to the Bindu, fail to produce bad results to the house they own.

5.13 Conclusion

There are many sensitive points in a horoscope, transits of planets over which cause/  indicate important events/ trends in a native’s life. The nature of these events/ trends depends on and is modified by various factors. In the previous chapters we have seen how nature & strength of planets and their relative position from a reference point lagna or the Moon sign denotes the results/ trends. However these are modified by concept of Vedha/ Vipreet Vedha, Nakshtra considerations, Saptsalakha Chakra and Moorthy Nirnay methods of use of Bhrigu Bindu. These modifications have been explained with the help of 11 tables and appropriate examples. However transit of slow moving planets or retrograde planets are more apparent than of other planets.
