Vedic astrology online learning . Bad and good effects of planets in vedic astrology .
Malefic and BeneficAccording to their basic qualities, the planets are categorized into two groups. Natural malefics and natural benefics. Moon, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are Natural Benefics.Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are Natural Malefics.However this is a highly broad general division and gets vastly modified based on the planets placement, house ownership etc.
Vakra or Retrograde planets:
As explained earlier, except the Sun and the Moon the rest of the planets, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn change their proper motion through the Zodiac periodically and appear to move backwards. After some time they resume their direct motion. When a planet is retrograde it is marked in the horoscope with the mark 'R'. A retrograde planet becomes more powerful. It also gives some unusual results and sometimes in the reverse order in the timing of effects etc.
Dagdha or Combust Planets
When a planet comes close to the Sun it engulfed by the Sun's rays. This is called combustion. A combust planet loses its power. This does not apply to Rahu & Ketu. The degree of proximity at which planets become combust varies from planet to planet. The following are the planetary combustion details as per the Soorya Siddhanta.
Mars within 17 Degrees
Mercury within 12 Degrees while retrograde and 14 degrees while in normal motion.
Jupiter within 11 Degrees
Venus within 8 Degrees
Saturn within 15 Degrees
It is normally agreed that the planetary combustion effects are effective when they are in the same nakshatra pada with the sun. After that the effects are not severe.
Drishti or Aspects
All planets have drishti or aspects. Or to put it in simpler terms they "look" at other planets and signs. All planets aspect the sign or planet placed exactly opposite to them, i.e., in the 7th house from them. This is normally called the 7th house aspect, or the full aspect. Apart from this 7th aspect, some planets have "special" aspects.
Mars aspects the 4th and the 8th houses from its position.Jupiter aspects the 5th and the 9th houses from its position.Saturn aspects the 3rd and the 10th houses from its position.Rahu and Ketu aspect the 5th and the 9th houses from their position though this is somewhat controversial. The houses and the planets aspected by a planet get influenced by the planet. The effect will be good or bad depending on the nature, condition, lordship etc of the aspecting planet and also on the relation between the two planets.
The Avasthas or condition of Planets
Depending on their position in the chart and the other conditions, Indian astrology classifies the condition of the planets into 5 different sets of avasthas. they are:
1. Jagradadi Avasthas - set of 3 avasthas
2. Baladi Avasthas - set of 5 avasthas
3. Lajjitadi Avasthas - set of 6 avasthas
4. Deeptadi Avasthas - set of 9 avasthas
5. Shayanadi Avasthas -set of 12 avasthas
It is a very detailed and complicated study. How a planet is placed in each of the 5 types of sets of avasthas is studied. Based on that the results given by each planet for each type of the sets of avasthas is taken into consideration while giving predictions.The Shadbala or Six fold strength of Planets
This is a very important study of the planetary strengths and weaknesses. It is not the study of any one condition of the planets, but a summarized study of its several conditions - both separately and in totality. The six fold strengths and weaknesses evaluated are:
1. Sthana bala
2. Dik bala
3. Kala bala
4. Chestha bala
5. Naisargika bala
6. Drik bala
It must be noted that in each of these six types of sources of strengths, there are several sub divisional aspects included. For example sthana bala is calculated after studying 6 different balas!!
Once again the strengths and weakness of all 9 planets in all the 6 fold strengths, and their sub divisional balas are studied to see their effects!!

Vedic astrology online free learning . Chandra lagna . Surya lagna, varga charts ,
Chandra LagnaThe sign in which the Moon is placed in the birth chart, called Janma Rasi, is a very important parameter while judging a horoscope. It is used as another lagna. Just as you study the placement of planets from the lagna, the way the planets are placed from the moon is also studied to give an additional view.
Soorya Lagna
The house in which your Sun is placed is called the Soorya Lagna and this is studied the way lagna and Chandra lagna are studied.
Churning from houses
Churning the houses is a unique way of analyzing several aspects of life. For example your wife wants to know about her younger sister but hasn't got the horoscope details. This can be seen from your horoscope. In your chart the 7th is your wife's house. From there the 3rd is the house of her younger sister, i.e., the 9th house in your chart, is your wife's younger sisters house. By studying your chart by taking your 9th house as lagna, you can infer about your wife's younger sister. Alternately, this can be studied from your wife's chart also by taking 3rd house as lagna. Similarly from your chart your child's wife can be seen - your 5th is your child's house and from there the 7th indicates his wife.
Varga ChartsThe Varga charts, also known as the divisional charts, are a unique method employed by the ancient seers to study various aspects of life. Each rasi of 30 degrees is further subdivided and by employing a series rules new additional charts are made. There are 16 divisional charts and they are studied to analyze the finer conditions, strengths and effects of the planets. These charts are also employed to study certain specific aspects of life like spouse, children, parents etc. The following are the varga divisions.16 VARGAS1. Rashi or the Lagna chart as it is of 30º to study all aspects of life.2. Hora or one-half of a sign -15º is the varga to study wealth.3. Drekkana or one-third of a sign - 10º is the varga to study siblings.4. Chaturthamsha or one-fourth of a sign - 7º30' is the varga to study destiny and house.5. Saptamsha or one-seventh of a sign - 4º17`8.5" is the varga to study progeny.6. Navamsha or one-ninth of a sign - 3º20' is the varga for spouse and many other things.7. Dashamsha or one-tenth of a sign - 3º- is the varga to study ones profession.8. Dwadashamsha or one-twelfth of a sign -2º30'- is the varga to study parents.9. Shodashamsha or one-sixteenth of a sign -1º52'30"- is the varga to study conveyance.10. Vimshamsha or one-twentieth of a sign -1º30'- is the varga to study spiritual progress.11. Chaturvimshamsha or one-twenty fourth of a sign -1º15'- is to study knowledge.12. Saptavimshamsha or one-twenty seventh of a sign -1º6'40"- is to study the strength.13. Trimshamsha or one-thirtieth of a sign - 1º00'- is misfortunes and nature.14. Khavedamsha or one-fortieth of a sign - 0º45' is for auspicious & inauspicious effects.15. Akshavedamsha or one-forty fifth of a sign 0º40' is for all areas of life.16.Shashtyamsha or one-sixtieth of a sign 0º30' is for all general effects.
For each of these vargas, The details of the different effects produced by the 9 different planets placed in various rasis, houses, house lords etc are given in detail in the shastras. Of these the Navamsha is the most important varga. Apart from studying the spouse and married/sex life, it is also studied to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses and the effects of the planets with respect to all areas of life. If a planet is badly placed in the lagna chart but improves its position in the navamsa, then the negative effects are reduced and vise versa. This is where the Vedic Astrology scores heavily over all other systems of Astrology. For example, moon, the fastest moving of the nine planets, remains in one sign fro two and half days. The ascendant, or Lagna, extends for a period of two hours. In these two hours, according to the present birth rate, several thousand people are born in the world with the same birth chart! All of them cannot have the same destiny. Apart from that it must be remembered that the slow moving planet like Jupiter stays in a sigh for 1 year and Saturn stays in a sign for 2-1/2 years. In Indian Astrology by preparing the 16 Varga charts based on their exact degrees, it is possible to see the difference in the results of various individuals correctly.
One must have very accurate birth time for the finer varga divisions to give accurate results. Realizing this Parashara prescribed that one must study at least the Shad-Vargas and if possible the Sapta-Vargas. The lagna, hora, drekkana, navamsa, dwadasamsa and trimamsa comprise of the 6 shad-vargas. If you add saptamamsa to these it is the saptavargas. Some recommend the study of the dasa-vargas by adding dasamamsa, shodasamsa and shasthimamsa.
The Amsas of planets: A planet which occupying the same rasi in the natal chart and also in the navamsha chart is said to be in Vargottama-amsa and this enhances its benific effects of the planets. A planet becoming vargottama is a very important condition while evaluating the strengths and effects of the planet and the houses it rules. Similarly a planet occupying the same rasi 3, 4, 5, or more times in the 16vargas is said to be in Simhasanamsa, Parijatamsa, Vaishesikamsa, Devalokamsa, Brahmalokamsa etc., and the benific effects of such conditions for the planets are give in detail to apply and evaluate their results.
The placement of planets in the various vargas is also useful to evaluate the strength and effects of the various planets and houses. This is called the Vimsopaka Bala.
The 16 vargas also play a role in evaluating the other strengths and conditions of the planets .
Soorya Lagna
The house in which your Sun is placed is called the Soorya Lagna and this is studied the way lagna and Chandra lagna are studied.

Nakshatras importance in vedic astrology .
The Nakshatras or Star constellations
First the zodiac was divided into 12 main rasis, to study the effects of the planets placed there. Then the ancient seers added another sub divisional system of breaking down the zodiac into 27 Nakshatras or star constellations. Each nakshatra has a span of 13 degrees and 20 minutes. After that each nakshatra was further subdivided into 4 Padas, or quarters, of 3 degrees and 20 minutes. Hence the first zodiac sign Aries, which has 30 degrees, contains the entire 4 padas (13:20') of the 1st star constellation Ashwini, the entire 4 padas (13:20') of the 2nd star constellation Bharani and the 1st pada (3:20') of the third star constellation Krittika. So each rasi contains total 9 padas. These nakshatras belong to three main groups: Deva or divine, Manusha or human and Rakshasa or Demonic. They have different ruling deities, owned by different planets and have divergent qualities. Hence while studying the effects of a planet placed in Aries, it is also studied in which nakshatra it is placed and in which pada of that nakshatra it is placed. This system of analysis exists only in Indian astrology.
The nakshatra in which your moon is placed at the time of your birth is called your Janma Nakshatra. This janma nakshatra has also got its influence on you.
The following table shows the names of the 27 nakshatras in their zodiacal order.

The purpose & the division of the Zodiac The ancient Hindu way of life, based on the Karma theory, looked at the progress of the human soul based on three essential macroscopic parameters. They are: The Karma acquired from your past life, the karma you acquire by virtue of your actions in your present life and based on these your future life. They classified our present life into four broad aspects. Dharma or right living, Artha or the monetary aspect, Kama or the desires and finally Moksha or spiritual progress and liberation. They recognized the importance of balancing these four aspects of life for the proper progress. To understand and improve all these four aspects they gave us various Shastras. The Veda shastras for spiritual progress, the Dharma and Nyaya shastras for the legal and social conduct, the Artha ( finance), Ganita (mathematics), Vanijya (trade) shastras for earning money, Sangeeta (music) Nritya (dance) Shilpa (art) Kama (sex) Paka (cooking) shastras for pleasure. Finally the Jyotishya ( Jyoti=light+ Isha=God meaning the light of God to remove ignorance) was given to us as a guide, to get the best results during the most suitable times, in each of the above four areas of life. The entire basis and theology of our astrology is based on these principles.
The Division of the Zodiac:
From the astrological point of view, for the purpose of charting the planetary positions and calculations etc, the 360 degrees of the zodiac was divided into 12 equal parts, called Rasi or sign, of 30 degrees each. This is the 1st basic division. In the Vedic astrology there are 9 Grahas or planets which influence our lives. Out of these seven - the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn - are actual heavenly bodies. The other two - Rahu and Ketu - are shadowy planets whose positions are calculated mathematically. Vedic astrology ignores Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. These 9 planets own certain rasis, represent several things in our life, have several inherent qualities and influence certain facets of our life. It all depends on how these planets are placed and in which rasis they are placed. Let us understand these basics first.
The names of the 12 Rasis (Zodiac signs) in their natural order and their rulers:

The Division of the Zodiac:
From the astrological point of view, for the purpose of charting the planetary positions and calculations etc, the 360 degrees of the zodiac was divided into 12 equal parts, called Rasi or sign, of 30 degrees each. This is the 1st basic division. In the Vedic astrology there are 9 Grahas or planets which influence our lives. Out of these seven - the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn - are actual heavenly bodies. The other two - Rahu and Ketu - are shadowy planets whose positions are calculated mathematically. Vedic astrology ignores Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. These 9 planets own certain rasis, represent several things in our life, have several inherent qualities and influence certain facets of our life. It all depends on how these planets are placed and in which rasis they are placed. Let us understand these basics first.
The names of the 12 Rasis (Zodiac signs) in their natural order and their rulers:
1. Aries or Mesha is ruled by Mars.It extends from 00:00 degrees to 30:00' in the zodiac.2. Taurus or Vrishabha is ruled by Venus. It extends from 30:00 degrees to 60:00'3. Gemini or Mithuna is ruled by Mercury. It extends from 60:00 degrees to 90:00'4. Cancer or Karka is ruled by the Moon. It extends from 90:00 degrees to 120:00'5. Leo or Simha is ruled by the Sun. It extends from 120:00 degrees to 150:00'6. Virgo or Kanya is ruled by Mercury. It extends from 150:00 degrees to 180:00'7. Libra or Tula is ruled by Venus. It extends from 180:00 degrees to 210:00'8. Scorpio or Vrischika is ruled by Mars. It extends from 210:00 degrees to 240:00'9. Sagittarius or Dhanu is ruled by Jupiter. It extends from 240:00 degrees to 270:00'10. Capricorn or Makara is ruled by Saturn. It extends from 270:00 degrees to 300:00' 11. Aquarius or Kumbha is ruled by Saturn. It extends from 300:00 degrees to 330:00'12. Pisces or Meena is ruled by Jupiter. It extends from 330:00 degrees to 360:00'
So it is clear that the sun and the moon own one house each and all the other 5 planets own 2 houses each. Rahu and Ketu do not own any houses.
