SPAN OF LIFE

THREE KINDS OF LIFE SPANS: short, medium, and long.

10-14. O Brahmin, I tell you further about Marakas. Narrated earlier are three kinds of life spans, viz. short, medium, and long. Short life is before 32 years, later on up to 64 it is medium life, and from 64 to 100 it is long life. Beyond 100 the longevity is called supreme. O excellent of the Brahmins, it is impossible to decide upon longevity till the native is 20 years old. Till such year the child should be protected by sacred recitations, religious offerings (of ghee etc. to consecrated fire as prescribed by Vedas etc.) and medical treatments, for premature death may descend on the child due to sins of father or mother or of its own (in the previous birth).

15-21. I further mention about the Maraka planets. One born with short life combinations may face death in the Dasa denoted by Vepat star (3rd from birth star); one of medium life may die in the dasa denoted by Pratyak star (5th from birth star). In the dasa denoted by Vadha star (7th from birth star), one with long life may obtain his end. The dasa of the lord of 22nd decanate or the one of 23rd, 3rd, 5th, or 7th asterisms may also cause death.

The lords of the 2nd and 12th counted from the Moon sign may bring death, this is true when the said ruler is a malefic and if he be a benefic there will be (only) diseases (but not death). Death may come to pass in the dasa of 6th lord and in the sub periods of 6th,8th, and 12th lords. Should there be many Marakas (endowed with the power of killing) and be strong, there will be diseases, miseries etc. in the respective major and sub periods. Thus these are Marakas (as above) and are primarily related to descend death upon the native. According to their dispositions there may be death or difficulties.

NODES: RAHU AND KETU AS MARAKAS:

If Rahu or Ketu be in the ascendant, 7th, 8th, or 12th thereof, or be in the 7th from a Maraka lord or be with such a planet, they acquire powers of killing in their major or sub periods.

MARAKA PLANETS

"To die will be an awfully big adventure" - Peter Pan
Death, as we all believe, is the birth or start of a new life. It is the something which is feared, accepted, embraced and celebrated all across the world.

Marakas are planets which are possessed with the power of inflicting death on a native. Death generally occurs during the periods and sub periods of these planets.

Suppose, say the horoscope of an individual indicates middle life or Madhyayu; whereas the Dasa of the most powerful maraca comes in operation after 80 years. In such a circumstance, the period of a planet, no matter even if it is less malicious in causing death which comes within the maxim number of years allotted for Madhyayu, must be considered as bringing about death, in preference to the most malicious one.

It must always be ascertained beforehand, whether a horoscope indicates short, middle or long life. The Maraka planets need to be determined and the time when their influences will come into fruition also needs to be determined.

The 8th house from the lagna i.e. the ascendant and the 8th house from that, i.e. the 3rd from the lagna are termed asHouses of life. The 7th house and the 2nd house are known as the Houses of death.

The 2nd house is always stronger in inflicting death than the 7th house. Planets who occupy the 2nd are stronger than the planets who own it, in tending to cause death and the planets that are in association with the lord of the 2nd are the most powerful in causing death.

Saturn, inclined to produce evil by his conjunction with the lords of the death houses, will cause death in preference to those planets. There are many rules to ascertain the probable time of death knowing beforehand Maraka Dasas.

Summarizing the above, death will be caused by:
a.Planets who occupy the 2nd and the 7th house.
b.Planets who are lords of the 2nd and the 7th house.
c.Planets who are not the owners of the 2nd and the 7th house and who are not occupying these houses but join the lords of those houses.
d.Lords of the 3rd and the 8th house are also probable causers of death.
e.If the Dasa of a death inflicting planet does not at all come into operation, then the most malicious planet in the horoscope will cause death.

Horoasope of Twins

Birth of twins

One may wonder how the twins born , one baby girl, and one baby boy born with a difference of 2 minduration are different in their attitude and how Astrology can delenate when their Birth Charts, And Shodasa Varga Kundalis are the same. Our Ancient Scientists Called Rishis have thought about this problem, and devided the Rasi Chart to minute detail, and each position have been alloted to different Deities. Basing on the particular area of life the predictions are given basing on a different varga chart with their deities.

I will now give an example to justify my statement. Let me take these two horoscopes of twins, just born in two minutes difference. The position of the planets in the varga charts [ the same has been copied by western Astrologers And Called As Harmonic Charts] Upto Shashtiamsa D-60 [Or Sixtieth Harmonic Chart] Is The Same.

But , there is a big but here- the deities of the Lagna which is fast moving is different even in the D-9 Navamsa chart.

The Navamsa Lagna is in Manushya in Boy’s Chart and in Deva , In Girl’s Chart, thus their marriage partners will be of different nature. The Lagna in Chaturvimsamsa of the Boy is Bhaga, and the Lagna of that of the Girl is Vrishadwaja, thus their Eductional pattern is also different. Similarly with other Vargas or Harmonic charts.

PROBABLE DATE OF MARRIAGE

WHEN MY MARRIAGE IS POSSIBLE ?

Recently I happen to see an Article in the Web about an interesting formula to find out the age when you can Marry. There are four Planets which can denote the Love and attraction between a Male and a Female. They are Venus, Mars, Moon, and Sun. Symbolically Venus and Moon are Feminine and Mars and Sun are Masculine in Astrology.

The zodiac distance between any Two male and female Planets and also between them and the Ascendant and the 10^th House Cusp called as Midheaven will give the age in years, 1 degree is taken as 1 year.

But this may not always work as the Venus is close to Sun in the Heaven and the Zodaical distance may be very small and Hence it is cautioned to be judicious in finding the age of Marriage by this method.

Let us take a practicle example to check this method. this method

ASC.- SAG 19-36 SUN-08 ARI 27 MOON- 02 LIB 20 MARS- 20 TAU 09 VEN 24 TAU 00 MC – VIR 19-36

ZODAICAL DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PLANETS

SUN – MOON = 182-20 MINUS 08-27 = 173 – 53 SUBTRACTING 150 = 23Y-10M

VEN – MARS = 54-00 MINUS 50-09 = 3 – 51 ADDING 20 = 23Y-10M

VEN - SUN = 54 – 00 MINUS 08 – 27 = 45 -33 SUBTRACTING 20 = 25Y-9M

MOON - MARS = 182 – 20 MINUS 50 – 09 = 132 – 11 SUBTRACTING 110 = 22Y-02M

Rounding off to the Marriagible age , We can assume the Age at Marriage as per the above calculation

173-53 - 150 = 23 y – 10 m OR 33Y-10M

3-51 + 20 = 23y- 10m OR 33Y-10M

45-33 - 20 = 25y-9M OR 35Y-9M

132-11 - 110 = 22y- 02m OR 32Y-02M

Average = 95-08 / 4 = 23y-11m OR 33Y- 11M

14-08-1964 - 21-04-1940 = 13D-03M-24Y = 24Y-3.433M = 24y-04m

THE DIFFERENCE IS 5 MONTHS.

THIS METHOD CAN BE USED AS AN EMPERICAL FORMULA FOR ROUGH IDEA OF THE PROBABLE AGE AT MARRIAGE.

Many people ask me if life is absolutely pre determined why do we need to do anything at all? Why can't we just sit back and let everything fall in place? On the other hand if our effort is of paramount importance, why not set aside Astrology and go ahead with full gusto? Well, Vedic Astrology and its purists will have you believe that everything is pre determined. Yet, there is a school of thought - to which I subscribe - that says life is a blend of the the pre determined and that which we influence with the choices we make.
So, the good news is that you are in control, to a large extent! There are periods more favorable for some activities and unfavorable for some others. You could have an entire week that's very favorable for your career and not so favorable for travel. So you could put off your travel plans and focus on dashing your resume across to various companies. That way you get a quicker response from these companies and avoid the travel snags you would have encountered , missed flights, lost luggage.....aren't we all familar with that?
