Forming Aspects In Charts.......Signs and planets make aspects. Planetary


aspects are called graha drishti and sign aspects are called rasi
drishti. ........Planetary Aspects (Graha drishti): Planetary aspects (graha
drishti) show the existence of a desire. The rules around these aspects are: every
planet aspects the house it is in and the house directly opposite it.............Three
planets has special aspects and these planets are Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and
Ketu. As the special aspects are described remember that the house the planet is
sitting in is always counted as the 1st house...........Mars has the general aspects
plus it aspects the 4th house from it and the 8th house from it. So it can be said that
Mars aspects 4 places: the house it is in, the 4 th from it, the 7th and 8th from it
also............Jupiter has the general aspects plus it aspects the 5 th and 9th houses
from it. Therefore Jupiter too aspects 4 places, the house it is in, the 5 th from it, the
7th and 9thfrom it also...........Saturn has the general aspects plus it aspects the
3rd and 10th from it as well........Rahu makes the same aspects as Saturn and the
Ketu makes the same aspects as Mars.
Sign Aspects (Rasi Drishti)...............This unique type of aspecting has been
well represented with the authoritative writings on which Jyotish is based. The sign
aspects (rasi drishti) show knowledge. The rules for sign aspects (rasi drishti) are as
follows:
Cardinal signs aspect fixed signs, except the fixed sign next to it.
Aries aspects Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius
Cancer aspects Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus
Libra aspects Aquarius, Taurus and Leo
Capricorn aspects Taurus, Leo and Scorpio
Fixed signs aspect the cardinal signs except the cardinal sign next to it.
Taurus aspects Capricorn, Libra, and Cancer
Leo aspects Aries, Capricorn and Libra
Scorpio aspects Cancer, Aries and Capricorn
Aquarius aspects Libra, Cancer and Aries
Mutable signs aspect the other mutable signs.
Gemini aspects Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces

Virgo aspects Gemini, Pisces and Sagittarius


Sagittarius aspects Pisces, Gemini and Virgo
Pisces aspect Sagittarius, Virgo and Gemini
When looking at sign aspects (rasi drishti) any planets in the signs naturally are
included in the aspects.

List of the 27 Nakshatras, Nakshatra Devathas (Gods) and the Graha (Planet) ruling the Nakshatras.
According to Hindu Vedic Astrology each Nakshatra is ruled by one of the navagrahas (9 Grahas) and each nakshatra also has a deity
as its Devata (Nakshatra Devata). All the 27 Nakshatras (Stars) has its own particular shakti or power, according to the power of the
Nakshatra Devatas ruling the stars.
Hence according to the ancient sages and astrology experts one needs to worship the Graha and the Nakshatra Devata which rules
his Nakshatra. One who worships like this will get good health and prosperity in life.

LORD
Lord refers to the Graha that owns this nakshatra. As there are nine Grahas and 27
nakshatras. Each Graha owns 3 nakshatras. As is very well known to all Jyotish

students, the 27 nakshatras form the basis of the Vimshottari Dasha system.
Maharshi Parashara holds this Dasha system to be the most powerful tool for
predicting future trends and events in the life of a person. The sequence in which
the nine Grahas rule the 27 nakshatras determines the sequence of the
Mahadashas, Antardashas, Pratyantardashas etc. in the life of the person.
The system further implies that the position of Chandra in a certain nakshatra at
birth determines that the first Mahadasha in the life of the native is ruled by the
Graha that owns the Janma nakshatra. The second period will be ruled by the lord of
the next nakshatra, and so on. The figure in brackets behind the Graha indicates the
length of its Mahadasha in terms of full years.
Note that the sequence of the Navagrahas (nine planets) repeats itself three times
in the same fixed order. Maharshi Parashara provides a certain shloka which is
helpful in memorizing the sequence of the Navagraha (Chapter 46, verse 12):
"A-can-ku-ra-gu-sha-bu-ke-shu,"
which stands for:
Aditya (Surya), Chandra, Kuja (Mangal), Rahu, Guru, Shani, Budha, Ketu, Shukra.
The lord of the Janma nakshatra plays an important role in the whole life of the
person.
Note that each series of nine nakshatras covers one third or 120 of the
Kalapurusha. This means that nakshatras that are posited 120 from each other
share the same Graha as their lord. The starting point of each of the three series of
nine nakshatras coincides with the starting point of the three fire Rashis, i.e. Mesha,
Simha, Dhanu.

9. COMPATIBILITY ANALYSIS THROUGH VEDIC ASTROLOGY / JYOTISH


This is an example lesson from the advanced course Applied Vedic Astrology. For more
information click here.
Questions? roeland@dirah.org
In traditional Vedic society one of the most important uses of astrology is to evaluate whether
the charts of people who are planning to get married are in agreement to each other.
This is a subject about which a lot of confusion exists. Some traditional astrologers mainly look at
the Kutas agreement. At first sight, this seems to be an extensive system, but in fact it is only
based on how well the Nakshatra in which the Moon of one partner is placed fits with the Moon
Nakshatra of the other partner. We will deal with this system later. However just looking at the
Kutas agreement of the Moon is quite limited.
What sometimes happens is that some people have a hard time getting married because there
are indications in their chart that marriage will be difficult. I do not think that making it diffficult
for people from fullfilling what may be their heart desires is a good use of astrology.
Another approach is that if someone has afflictions in the chart you look for another person who
has the same afflictions. The idea is that if two people who have the same affliction in their chart
get married, the affliction will be neutralized and the karma that has to do with the affliction will
have to be faced in a future lifetime.
I may have an unconventional opinion about this, but I rather face my karma during this lifetime
than saving my (bad) karma and probably prolonging the number of times that I have to return
to this earth .
I also have doubts whether this method of cancelling the affliction really works.

1. KUJA DOSHA
One very well known affliction commonly solved this way is the Kuja Dosha affliction.
This affliction has to do with certain positions of Mars that are thought to be problematic for
married life.
There is Kuja Dosha in the chart if:

Mars is placed in the first house, but not in Aries.

Mars is in the fourth house, but not in Scorpio.

Mars is in the seventh house, but not in Capricorn or Pisces.

Mars is in the eighth house, but not in Cancer.

Mars is in the twelfth house, but not in Sagittarius.

The reasoning behind this is that Mars is a malefic and if positioned in the above houses it will
damage the houses of marriage (seventh house), family life (the second house), the home
environment (the fourth), the marital tie (eighth house) and/or sexual pleasure (twelfth house)
either by being in these houses or aspecting them.
The logic behind the exceptions is not always clear.
According to quite a number of astrologers, there is also Kuja Dosha in a chart if Mars is located
in the 1,2,4,7,8 and 12 from the Moon and even if Mars is located in these houses from Venus.
Especially if we look for Kuja Dosha not only from the ascendant, but also from Mars and Venus
we may well find this affliction in something like 80% of the charts.
I think it is useful to be aware that Mars in certain positions may damage relationships. However,
this is just one factor among many. Probably Saturn in the above houses also causes damage.
And for relationships we do not only have to look at the Rashi but also at the navamsa.
I do not think if we see Kuja Dosha in a chart, it is useful to ring the alarm. Especially since it
occurs in most charts.

2. LONGEVITY
Another factor, which is looked upon, is the longvity of the partners. The reasoning is that if one
of the partners will have a short life a marriage is not very useful. If an astrologer thinks one of
the partners may have a short life he may very well think this person is not a person who should
marry.
The subject of longevity is a complex subject in itself. I am not going to treat this extensively.
There are a couple of methods to predict the longevity. However as Richard Houck as shown in
his book the astrology of death these methods do not work very well.

My advice would be to keep it simple. If the first house (the house itself and the lord) and the
Moon in a chart are strong and there are not many planets in dushtana houses a person will
probably live longer than if the first house and the Moon are weak and there are many planets in
dushtana houses.
This is an easy rule of thumb which may be more useful than some complicated quantitative
methods that in practise do not work.

3. AN EASY VEDIC ASTROLOGICAL ANALYSIS


One method of Vedic astrological compatibility analysis, which I like, is the following:
Look for the ascendant of person A and person B, see in what signs they are and what the
relationships of these signs are. If the ascendant is in a 2/12 or 6/8 relationship this is
problematic, but if it is in a 5/9 relationship this is good. I also think that a 3/11 relationship can
work very well. Also if both ascendants are in the same sign this is a good factor.
Apart from conjunctions Kendra relationships (4/10 and the opposition) may be difficult.
There are some expections to this rule. Like if both signs are rules by the same planet this is
good. Example: Libra and Taurus are in 6/8 relationship, but since Venus rules both signs, they
do have something in common.
You can also compare the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars in both charts.
Of course, they symbolize different aspects of the relationship (for example Mercury symbolizes
the communication in the relationship).
I do not think comparing Jupiter and Saturn is very useful unless both people have a big age
difference (let us say more than 5 years). This is because Jupiter and Saturn are slow moving.
To find explanations look for the elements the planets are in. An example: If the Moon of A is in
Leo and the Moon of B is in Cancer we have a problem because fire and water do not go together
well.
The relationship will be somewhat better for B then for A. The Moon of A is in the second house
from the Moon of B. However, the Moon of B is in the twelfth house (sign Cancer) from the Moon
of A (sign Leo). Therefore, it is possible that B will drain (twelfth house) A.
You also can analyze planetary pairs. If the Venus of one person is in opposition to the Mars of
the other person that will mean strong sexual attraction. This is also the case if the Venus of A
conjuncts the Mars of B.
A similar rule can be made of the relationship between the Sun and the Moon. If the Sun of one
person is in opposition to the Moon of the other person this works well. This is also the case if
the Sun of A conjuncts the Moon of B.
In cases like these will be a good exchange of female (Shakti: Moon and Venus) and male
(Shiva: Sun and Mars) energies.

I do think this is a fruitful and not too difficult method. If you use this method, it is
recommended to use the South Indian format (which I use in this course) because in this format
the signs in different charts are in the same place.

4. SUDARSHAN CHAKRA
It is also possible to analyze the influence of planets in houses. A great tool for this is the socalled Sudarshan Chakra. This is a chart made up of two circles, like the circles used in Western
Astrology. There is an inner chart, which can be the chart of partner A and there is an outer
chart, which is the chart of partner B. The ascendant of both charts is at the same place (usually
at the top of the circles).
You can see which houses of A are activated by partner B. For example if I have a partner who
has a lot of planets that activate my eighth house it is very well possible that I experience her as
confrontational.
If she activates my ninth house she may broaden my horizon and I may feel great because of
her, especially if my ninth house is being activated by her benefics ("Yes, I love to go to India
with you"). If it is being activated by her malefics it could be that she somehow limits or
frustrates the way I would like to broaden my horizon ("Oh no, you are again planning a trip to
India?").
THE SUDARSHAN CHART IS SHOWN IN THE COURSE MATERIAL

5. TAJIKA ANALYSIS
There is another type of analysis possible. Although Tajika analysis is seldom used when
analyzing birthcharts, I do not see a principle reason why we should not do this.
What I would like to suggest now is not so much as to use the Tajika method for analyzing a
birthchart but to make a comptability analysis using the Tajika method.
The principle is easy. Just look what kind of aspects the planets of A make with the planets of B.
Let us say the Sun of A makes a trine to the Jupiter of B. A (the Sun person) will feel stimulated
by B (the Jupiter person). He will note the stimulating Jupiterian energy of B. B (the Jupiter)
person will feel energized or empowered by A (the Sun person). If it is a square instead of a trine
the stimulation may be a bit too much.
If you make an analysis like that, you will encounter many aspects, some of them seem to be
contradictory, but this merely reflects the nature of reality that sometimes is complex. For
example: It is also possible that in addition to the aspect I mentioned before the Moon of A
makes a square to the Saturn of B. A (the Moon person) will feel restricted by B (the Saturn
person). By the way, if the aspect would be a trine A (the Moon person) would merely feel
grounded by B (the Saturn person). That is not a bad experience.
To avoid an overload take the Tajika orbs and divide them by two.
For example: If we analyse the relationship between the Sun and Jupiter between charts we look
for the maximum orb of the Sun which is 15 and the maximum orb of Jupiter which is 9.

(15+9):2=12, which is the regular Tajika orb for a Sun-Jupiter aspect.


To avoid an overload this maximum orb is divided by two. The outcome will be a maximum orb of
6 degrees.
What makes this analysis complicated is that for every planetary combination you have to
calculate a maximum orb. This may very well be the reason that in contemporary Western
astrology the maximum orbs are the same for certain kind of aspects (all squares have the same
maximum orb, all sextiles have the same maximum orb and so on).
If you want to keep it simple, I would like to suggest a maximum orb for all aspect of 5 degrees.
Of course, calculating the maximum orb for each planetary combination is better. If you have the
courage and time to do that, please feel free to do so.
Personally, I only look at conjunctions with Rahu and Ketu and not at aspects. However, you may
well have another opinion about this.

6. KUTAS ANALYSIS
In what follows I will explain the traditional method of Kutas analysis. The traditional method
consists of comparing the Nakshatra in which the Moon of the bride is located with the Nakshatra
in which the Moon of the bridegroom is.
It is also possible to do a more sophisticated analysis in which not only the Nakshatras in which
the Moon is are compared, but also the Nakshatras of the ascendant and Sun, Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
The Kutas analysis consists of 12 factors. Every factor can give some points. After the analysis is
made all the points are added up. To have a good relationship a minimum of points is required. If
the total points are below that minimum than it is possible that the astrologer will advise against
the marriage.
Here are the different factors:
1. Dina Kuta: If the Nakshatra of the man is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 Nakshatras from the Nakshatra
of the woman 3 points will be given. If the number is 9 or more it is divided by 9 and we
work with the remainder. Let us say the Nakshatra of the man is 14 Nakshatras from the
Nakshatra of the woman 14/9=1 and the remainder is 5. Because the remainder is 5 no
points are being given.
2. Gana Kuta: When we dealt with the Nakshatras we have seen that we can divide the
Nakshatras in deva, human (manusha) and demon (rakshaka) Nakshatras. Look for this
in lesson 2, paragraph 5 under temperaments. People who have their Moons in
Nakshatras that fall in the same category can marry. A deva man can marry a deva or
manusha woman. Six points are given. He cannot marry a rakshaka woman (0 points are
given). A manusha man can marry a deva woman (5 points are given) or a manusha
woman (6 points are given). He should not marry a rakshaka woman (0 points). A
rakshaka man should not marry a deva woman (1 point) or a manusha woman (0
points). He can marry a rakshaka woman (6 points). When the lords of the signs in the

rashi or navamsa of the man and woman are the same bad Gana Kuta results can be
compensated (however this does not change the points that are being given).
3. Mahendra Kuta: The Nakshatra of the man should be 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 or 25
Nakshatras away from the Nakshatra of the woman. A good Mahendra Kuta should
promote the longevity of the relationship. This factor is mentioned in a Kuta analysis, but
no points are given by this factor.
4. Stree Dirgha: The Nakshatra of the man should preferably be more than 9 constellations
away from the Nakshatra of the woman. This factor is mentioned in a Kuta analysis, but
no points are given by this factor.
5. Yoni Kuta: This has to do with sexual compatibility. Every Nakshatra is associated with a
type of yoni. Example: Vishakha and Chitra are associated with a tiger yoni. That means
these Nakshatras are rather wild in making love. There is also a division in male and
female yonis. Vishakha has a male tiger yoni and Chitra a female tiger yoni. It is best if
both partners are born in Nakshatras, which symbolize the same yoni type, but of
different sexes. Therefore, someone with the Moon in Vishakha would be a great sexual
match for someone with the Moon in Chitra. If a couple has friendly yonis of the female
sex marriage will be acceptable. It will be difficult if the two people both have male yonis.
TABLE OF YONIS AND CORRESPONDING NAKSHATRAS IS SHOWN IN THE COURSE
MATERIAL AS IS A TABLE OF HOW MANY POINTS ARE GIVEN TO EACH YONI
COMBINATION
6. Rashi Kuta: This factor is different from the factors, which are shown above, because this
deals with the signs in which the Moons are located (and not the Nakshatras).
Bad results: Moon in the chart of the man is in the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 th from the Moon in the
chart of woman.
Bad results: Moon in chart of the woman is in the 12 th from the Moon in the chart of the
man.
Good results: Moon in Chart of the man is in the 12 (gives longevity), 7 th (gives
agreement) from the Moon in the chart of woman.
Good results: Moon in chart of the woman is in the 2 (gives longevity), 3 (gives
happiness), 4 (gives wealth), 5 (gives happiness), 6 (progeny will prosper), 7 th (gives
agreement) from the Moon in the chart of the man.
When both signs are owned by the same planet inauspicious effects will be cancelled.
The bad results coming from a certain number are the opposite of the good results.
If good results exists (or if bad results are cancelled) 7 points will be given by this factor.
7. Graha Maitram: This factor is dependend upon the friendships or animosities of the lords
of the Moonsigns of the couple. In the first course, a diagram was presented with the
friendships and animosities of the planets. This is diagram 5 shown in lesson 4. When the
lords of the Moonsigns are friends Graha Maitram is at its maximum. In this case five

points are given. When lord A is a friend to lord B and lord B is neutral to lord A this is
good. Four points are being given. When both are neutral, Graha Maitram is mediocre.
This will bring in three points. When one is friendly and the other is inimical 1 point is
given. When one is neutral and the other is inimical this will give a point. When both
are enemies Graha Maitram is zero. However, if a friendship exists between the lords of
the Moonsigns in the navamsa three points are given (instead of zero, or one point).
8. Vasyu Kuta: Some signs have a certain degree of magnetism to each other. Vasyu Kuta
magnetism makes understanding of each other easier. If the Moon of the female feels
magnetism towards the Moon of the male one point is given. If the Moon of the male
feels magnetism towards the Moon of the female, also one point is given. Therefore, the
maximum amount of points to be gained from this factor is two, if magnetism exists from
both sides.
TABLE IS SHOWN IN COURSE MATERIAL
9. Rajju: This factor is used to measure the duration of married life. The Nakshatras are
being divided into 5 types of Rajju. To make a long relationship possible the Moon
Nakshatras of the couple should not fall in the same Rajju. Below you will see a table of
the divisions. I have also mentioned the number of a certain Nakshatra. You can see that
the Nakshatras, which are mentioned in a next category, are always the neighbouring
Nakshtras of a former category.
TABLE 14: RAJJUS
Padarajju: Ashwini (1), Ashlesha (9), Magha (10), Jyeshta (18), Mula (19), Revati (27).
Katirajju: Bharani (2), Pushya (8), Purva Phalguni (11), Anuradha (17), Purva Ashadha
(20), Uttara Bhadrapada (26).
Nabhi: Krittika (3), Punarvasu (7), Uttara Phalguni (12), Vishakha (16), Uttara Ashadha
(21), Purva Bhadrapada (25).
Kantarajju: Rohini (4), Ardra (6), Hasta (13), Swati (15), Shravana (22), Shatabhishak
(24).
Sirorajju: Mrigashira (5), Chitra (14), Dhanistha (23).
In a Kutas analysis, this factor is mentioned but no points are given by this factor.
10. Vedha: Some Nakshatras are said to afflict each other. A marriage between people who
have their Moons in Nakshatras, which afflict each other, should not take place. This is a
list of the prohibited pairs:
TABLE 15: VEDHAS
Ashwini (1) and Jyeshta (18); Bharani (2) and Anuradha (17); Krittika (3) and Vishakha
(16); Rohini (4) and Swati (15); Mrigashira (5) and Dhanistha (23); Ardra (6) and
Shravana (22); Punarvasu (7) and Uttara Ashadha (21); Pushya (8) and Purva Ashadha
(20); Ashlesha (9) and Mula (19); Magha (10) and Revati (27); Purva Phalguni (11) and

Uttara Bhadrapada (26); Uttara Phalguni (12) and Purva Bhadrapada (25); Hasta (13)
and Shatabhishak (24).
In a Kuta analysis, this factor is mentioned but no points are given by this factor.
11. Varna: This is a factor, which is supposed to be an indication of the spiritual development
of the partners.
TABLE 16: VARNAS
These are the categories:
Brahmin (priests): Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.
Kshatriya (politics and war): Leo, Sagittarius, Libra.
Vaisya (business): Aries, Gemini, Aquarius.
Sudra (manual labour and service): Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
If the woman is in a higher category as the man 0 points are given by this factor.
If the man is in a higher category as the woman 1 point (which is the maximum) is given
by this factor.
If they both belong to the same category 1 point is given.
12. Nadi Kuta: In lesson 13 of the first course we have seen that in ayurveda three
constitution types are recognized: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The Nakshatras are divided
between these three temperaments. The Moons of the man and the woman should fall in
Nakshatras of a different dosha. It is also recommended that the Moons do not fall in the
same rows of the scheme below. This factor is important because the points to be gained
by this factor are 8.
TABLE IS SHOWN IN THE COURSE MATERIAL
CONCLUSION
The total amount of points to be gained is 36. As a rule of thumb we can say that the minimum
points which should be gained for the match to be good is 21.
Keep in mind that this is just one factor. The traditional method is based only on the Moon.
Nevertheless, it is possible to compare all the planets and the ascendant by this method. Not just
the Moon. We may calculate the average results for all these. In that case, the picture may very
well be different.

7. EXAMPLE: PRINCE CHARLES AND LADY DIANA


As an example of how to do the analysis we will look at what should have been the dream
couple of the 20th. Century Prince Charles and Lady Diana. You see the charts below.

Note that although the marriage did not work out, neither of them has Kuja Dosha from the
ascendant. They both have Kuja Dosha from the Moon. Nevertheless, the theory that Kuja Dosha
(from the Moon) is cancelled if both partners have Kuja Dosha (from the Moon) has obviously not
worked in this case.
