Questionaire - July 2013

Question:

I have a question. When matching of horoscopes happens, often pandits say that they are matching. But couples often lead partially unhappy life or even get divorced. If they are to be unhappy together or if they are to be separated then how come the horoscopes matched in the first place?

Response:
Matching of chart is a very general term, different astrologer have have their own interpretations of it. Traditional astrologers rely heavily on 36 point system of Gun Milan only and declare that kundalis are ‘matched’ for any score above 18 points(50% of total points). But actual match making involves thorough analysis of whole chart along with divisional charts.

From my own experience let me give you one example, supposing in a scenario match making score comes out to be 28 /36 and both charts are even free of manglik dosh ,i.e. effect of Mars on marriage region but other affliction in horoscope are ignored ,then orthodox astrologer will gleefully declare that charts are ‘matched’.
Now after sometime when tension arises in relationship, one begin to think what went wrong?
What I have seen in numerous charts is that if affliction exists in either guy’s or girl’s chart,i.e in chart of any one of them without counterbalancing support from partner, in such cases charts remain unmatched in real terms and native with afflicted chart is bound to suffer more in relationship.
Mature match making involves seeing all aspects of chart and not just gun milan or manglik considerations, I have seen so many cases where from orthodox point of view kundalis are perfectly matched, but un-cancelled affliction exists in one of the native’s chart causing huge imbalance with frustrating results.
But real irony is worth giving a deeper thought, if one has disturbing planetary combinations in terms of marriage, then an astrologer is but a small creature in larger scheme of things, he can at most bring the best of the match but certainly cannot take away the baggage of destined suffering.

Question:
Hi Vaibhav,

Greetings!

I was just scrolling down your page and came across the below lines
"When a Soul take birth, according to its characteristics and pot of destined Karma, planetary configurations in the heaven shows the precise amount of potential for development of profound Wisdom and tendency to move ahead on the path of Self Realization."

Request to please shed some light on what is meant by "potential" here in above context?

Response:

Potential has very deep meaning here.In our lives we acquire much Samskaars or tendencies which get deeply engraved in our casual body.When after departing from this world when one is ready to take another new birth,Soul gets attracted to womb of a mother with whom he/she has Karmic debts.and time of birth of an individual is not random event.In heaven planets are constantly moving in various signs,forming numerous combinations.Now for example one who has done great damage to his father,or else has cheated much in his service,should get Cosmic justice and as a result,timing of next birth of such individual would be exactly when Planet Sun will be in depression i.e in its most helpless form.

So Potential signifies what Soul has brought within itself,and according to that one's height of achieving in this world gets determined.

Question:

Can you tell us what happened between Hanuman ji, a master of Jyotish himself, and Shani Maharaj (Saturn) ?

(This question basically explores the relationship that exists between Planet Saturn and Lord Hanuman)

Response:

There are many myths prevailing regarding Hanuman and Saturn relationship.The one which appeals to me most is the fact that Hanuman is Rudra Avtaar.Saturn is a force which binds,which is a planet of memories,Karma and experiences.Rudra on other hand is destroyer,time annihilates in front of Lord Shiva,and Hanuman being the part of Shiva have similar characteristics.

Especially loosing sense of time(Rudra aspect) while in deep devotion to Lord Raam symbolizes Hanuman,so devoting oneself to Hanuman reduces the suffering caused by Saturn to some extent.Stories in Hindu Mythology have deeper Spiritual significance which needs to be decoded for finding real essence of deity/planets and alike concepts.

Question:

Can Planetary combinations assure the quantity of wealth? from chart can we tell this is a millionaire 's chart Or More?

Response :

Yes if we study chart very deeply.That will involve divisional charts,especially - Navmansa(D-9),states of 2nd and 11th lord in D-9 chart,D-4 chart (Chaturthamsa).The number of rajyogas presents plus strength of planets will differentiate between the chart of an average wealthy and millionaire or between a millionaire and billionaire.Moreover we should also not forget the area of free will,good planets and rajyogas are basically the potentiality contained in a chart,right action will count a lot in actualization of yogas in a chart.
