Srirastu

Om Namo Bhagavathe Sivanandaya

Venkatesa Sharma's

Jataka Yogavali

Most of the Yogas found in this book are not available in other texts; further, these are of the oft-occurring type. What is very useful for the practising astrologer is that in a good many Yogas, the time when the effects of the Yoga will materialise is given. Even the short duration of 2, 3 or 4 years during which the native will shape oneself as outlined in the Yoga is hinted.

Special effects do arise when any two planets exchange signs; such a yoga is also powerful. For instance, the exchange of signs between any two lords, one of them being the lord of 6, 8 or 12 gives rise to what is called Dainya Yoga, indicating poverty; if lord of 3 is one of the planets involved in this exchange, it becomes Khala Yoga whereby poverty and prosperity will be alternating for the native, whilst in the Yoga wherein lords of signs other than 3, 6, 8 or 12 are involved, Maha Yoga will materialise. Thus in Dainya, Khala and Maha Yogas, the effects produced by exchange of signs by any two lords of houses is available but in broad outline. Rather, the particularised effects produced by exchange of signs along with the occurrence of certain other Yogas are given in this book. This is another factor which will greatly assist the practising astrologer in handling horoscopes containing some of such Yogas with greater confidence and accuracy.

In the very first sloka of this book, the author Venkatesa Sharma has clearly stated that the Yogas givenhave the sanction of Narada, Garga and others, and that the Yogas should be available in the bhava chakra. By the nature and conditions under which a Yoga arises, the student should cleverly decide for himself with reference to the Rasi chakra and Bhava chakra, whether the Yoga is available or not, and with what force the Yoga applies to the horoscope under consideration.

To ascertain the force with which any one of the Yogas operate, the author Venkatesa Sharma has given the following method :-

Planets occupying the extreme exaltation degree will possess the following number of Kalas units of brilliance :

Sun 30

Moon 30

Mars 16

Mercury 6

Jupiter 8

Venus 10

Saturn 12

The Kalas at debilitation will be zero. Somewhat on the lines of Rasmi Chintha given in Saravali and Brihat Parashara Hora, determine the Kalas for the different planets, as per the above tabulation, based on the rule of 3, and assess the strength of Yoga.

One of the Maharshies has stated, I think Mantreswara, that the force with which a Yoga operates on a horoscope can be decided through the Ashtaka Varga methodology. If the planets causing the Yoga do not enjoy the average or more than average number of bindus in their bhinna ashta vargas, I am afraid full Yoga phala cannot be expected to materialise. Rather, the mere presence of a Yoga is not a guarantee that its effects will come to fruition. The Karaka (the planets actually causing a Yoga or Significators) of the Yoga must enjoy strength, especially ashta varga bindu-bala. For instance, I have seen a horoscope where there is a clear Adhi Yoga both from Junma (Moon-sign) and Lagna in the Rasi chakra and from Lagna in the Bhava chakra; Venus was having just one bindu in Venus' Ashta Varga while Mercury was standing on average number of bindus and on 10 papa varga in the shodasa varga chart. The native suffered much evil effects at certain periods attributable to Venus and Mercury, which no astrologer would be bold enough to predict for a native whose horoscope had Adhi Yoga so clearly.

The original author of this short book is none other than Venkatesa Sharma known in his later life as Venkatesa Daivagnya,the well-known author of that great book Sarwartha Chintamani, which is considered as the last word on Astrology by many knowledgeable astrologers. The author is an Andhraite, who flourished about 400 years ago in the town named Orugallu now known as Warangal in Ex-Nizam Dominions.

Yogas denoting full span of life

The learned author of this work has given the following 26 slokas indicating longevity, the presence of any one of these ensures full span of life for the native, in spite of any other malefic yoga or feature operating on the horoscope. These are said to be based on the opinions of Sages of Kerala.

If the lord of Ascendant is conjunct or aspected by a benefic, whilst the sign occupied by lord of Ascendant happens to be exaltation, moolatrikona, own house or friendly house, the native will enjoy long life.

If the lord of Ascendant is strong and is posited in a quadrant whilst both the lords of Ascendant and 8th are standing on larger number of benefic vargas, the native will enjoy long life.

Longevity is certain if Rahu or Ketu is standing in Aries, Scorpio or Cancer, whilst Ketu is standing on larger number of benefic vargas.

If the lord of Ascendant is standing in 5 or 9, conjunct or aspected by a benefic, the native will enjoy long life.

Malefics in both 3 and 6 from Ascendant, whilst the lord of Asdt is also standing the 6th, subject to the condition that the malefic in 6th is friendly to lord of Asdt, the native will enjoy long life.

Powerful Sun in 11th, Jupiter in 6, 8 or 12 whilst Saturn is posited in a Jupitarian-sign indicates long life.

Birth in day time, Jupiter in own house, whilst both Sun and lord of Ascendant are standing conjointly in quadrants, the native will enjoy long life, subject to the condition that Rahu/Ketu are not connected with Sun or lord of Asdt.

Long life is indicated if Jupiter in the horoscope has a benefic aspect whilst Saturn is in a trine and waxing Moon is posited in signs other than 6, 8 or 12.

Jupiter in quadrants OR Jupiter and Moon in mutual quadrants and one of them has a benefic aspect, the native will enjoy long life.

For Taurus Ascendant, (a) Saturn on own classifications (sign, navamsa etc) OR (b) Jupiter in quadrant from Moon/Ascendant indicates longevity.

Mercury in quadrants other than 4th, without conjunction or aspect of a benefic, indicates long life.

Lord of 5 or 9 in own vargas standing in the 3rd in company of a benefic also denotes longevity.

(a) Moon in Asdt with benefic aspect whilst Sun is in 3 or 11 OR (b) Moon in Cancer Ascendant whilst Sun is posited in 11th indicates long life.

(b) Mars in Capricorn on the 28th degree, which happens to be a trine in conjunction of a lord of quadrant/trine, indicates long life.

(a) Powerful Jupiter in Ascendant or a tine OR (b) Jupiter in 8th without conjunction of Ketu or Gulika, denotes long life.

(a) Powerful Rahu in Ascendant (b) Rahu in 3, 6, or 11 (c) Ketu in Cancer indicate long life.

Rahu in Aries/Scorpio Ascendants with benefic aspect OR power Rahu in Gemini/Virgo Ascendants in company of Sun, indicates long life.

Rahu standing on constellations owned by Mercury or on the 5th degree of Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces indicates long life.

Rahu in quadrants in company of Venus or alone in Libra/Pisces Ascendants or conjunct/aspected by benefic or standing in the navamsa of Capricorn/Cancer/Libra indicate long life.

Benefic aspect on lord of Ascendant whilst Venus is with Full Moon

One or more of the quadrants are occupied by benefics

Lord of Ascendant with Rahu

Powerful Moon is enjoying the stay of a strong benefic in his quadrant and if there is also Sunapha & Anapha Yogas.

Power Venus and Moon conjointly stand in quadrant/trine whilst Rahu is conjunct with the dispositor of Moon/Venus or conjunct with the significator of the house occupied by Moon/Venus - long life is indicated.

A benefic in company of Full Moon always contributes towards longevity; with benefics in quadrants of such Moon, there will be still greater longevity.

If Rahu is involved in Padma Yoga or Ankusha Yoga or standing on large number of benefic vargas whilst lords of Ascendant, 3rd & 8th are also standing on larger number of benefic vargas, such a native will live long.

Rahu and the 3 benefics standing on benefic vargas combined with fixed signs also indicates longevity.

Planets, particularly benefics in quadrants and fixed signs contribute to greater longevity. Sages of Kerala say so in the chapter Jeevaka Adhyaya.

Malefic Yogas operating on a horoscope go to reduce longevity. Powerful Rahu increases longevity.
