The real leaning occurs when we implement what we have memorized. Continuing our discussion, lets discuss some charts which shows huge potential for learning as well as for practicing astrology.

The first chart that comes to mind is of K.N Rao, the Rishi in present age who has revolutionized the approach and outlook towards Vedic astrology. His research based work and replicable patterns that he has given in his teachings have modernized this science like never before. The foremost thing about his chart is that planets of knowledge and intellect, Jupiter and Mercury both are exalted, i.e extremely powerful .Jupiter is exalted in tenth house of Karma and it aspects second house(from where comes the skills to predict).Mercury exalted in twelfth house with Ketu is immensely rich Spiritual state and very refined state of intuition. His ascendant itself is in Vishakha nakshatra which belongs to Jupiter. Along with Gaja-Kesari yoga which has given him high moral stand, he has strong Mars which is showing his skills for research based work. Also point to note here is that Mars is again in nakshtra of Jupiter and Jupiter himself is in nakshtra of Mercury. This chart exuberates pure bliss.

The Divine plan : Combinations for learning astrology - I

It’s been the timeless quest of human being to find how things work and mechanism underlying the why and how part. The Divine knowledge of astrology is known to provide deepest clues and hints about what a soul has brought, where its headed and what experiences it will accumulate while undergoing this process. We are in the age where information is available as soon as impulse is generated in the mind and in such conducive environment, eager minds can tread on the path of learning pretty fast. Though when it comes to learning, the inclinations and potential can be clearly read from the birth chart itself and same goes true for astrology too.

Though some combinations are mentioned in ancient classics (like in Saravali, Sarvartha Chintamani etc), we will work on broader guidelines which can be replicated and can give us a framework to work on. Let’s have a look at some reliable patterns which indicates desire, potential and even destiny of soul to learn, explore and master the art of Jyotisha.

Jupiter in first house

Throughout the history, human beings have been endeavoring to explore, learn and expand the horizons of their minds in search of something better. When it comes to expansion and advancement of any aspect, the mighty and pious Jupiter comes into the picture if we try to map things in astrological sense. Jupiter is the planet signifying the upward flow of energy and desire to expand and accumulate. This is the force of nature which generates hope and makes one rooted and visionary. It’s a symbol of hope and Truth. Like the planet Saturn defines the limitations and challenges which a Soul has to face, position of Jupiter shows the level of blessings and potential of individual to rise, expand and evolve. Birth of an individual with Jupiter placed in ascendant is by no means a meager placement. When one comes with this mighty planet being positioned in first house itself, then it is the birth of huge significance. Before we move into specifics it’s important to repeat that how Jupiter actually behaves will depend on the sign in which it is placed. Let’s move to discussion of what are the possibilities when the Guru of Gods is positioned in the first house, when a Soul begins its journey on earth.

Saturn in twelfth house

Twelfth house is one of the most complex area of chart and hence most misunderstood and not really well explained, especially when it comes to placement of planet like mighty Saturn. Saturn in itself is considered to be most intriguing planet and when it gets placed in twelfth house of birth chart, it is quite certain that implications are far reaching and needs very careful approach. To begin with, it’s important to know what twelfth house really is. Speaking in broader sense, twelfth house calls for a big shift. Its change from material to non-material. In terms of physics analogy, it can resemble black hole, an area where things disappear or are lost. Its call to human to look beyond desires (after thorough and repeated experiences), and come out of unconscious living, what typically is called getting out of the wheel of Samsaara, the escape from cycle of mundane existence. Saturn here can be very influencing .Let’s see its manifestations in various forms.
