Introduction

E ach Planet in Astrology has certain characteristics

associated with it. One of them is the Language.
Among the planets, Rahu and Ketu are also considered
as Planets, although they signify the bisecting points in
space of the orbital plane of Earth and Moon. Language
of Rahu is attributed to Astrology. Rahu is an important
factor in determining whether or not a person can study
or be proficient in Astrology. In all Indian and Western
astrological systems, Rahu and Ketu are held in high esteem.
Rahu governs ending of a period or a process, longevity,
foreign residence, largeness of an operation, multitude and
distraction or obstruction of destiny among other things.
Its counterpart, Ketu, signifies rope, bondage, narrowness,
longevity, distraction or obstruction of destiny, relief
from mental, legal, professional, ailments, tumor, cancer
and incarceration among other aspects. In this book, lot
of importance is attributed to the role of Rahu and Ketu
in influencing the Life Propeller-Jupiter, and the Karma
designator-Saturn.
According to the Indian system, the background space
of each sign starting with Aswini 0o as the beginning of the
Aries is important. Thus Indian systems have inadvertantly
attributed lot of influence to the background space as
responsible for influencing humans which formed the basis
of 27 constellations and division of each constellation into
2 Language of Rahu

padas of 3.33o and Two and a Quarter constellation to a Rasi

of 30o and so on. Since, the whole Universe is full of Energy,
the Rasis or Signs depicts variation in this Cosmic Energy
over the entire ecliptic path which the planets follow. The
planets further lense this Cosmic Energy to the Earth which
results in the astrological influence that affects our lives.
Rahu and Ketu points probably serve as gateway for this
energy by enhancing or reducing them. Hence, this book,
is appropriately named as the Language of Rahu. Planets,
themselves in turn, lense Cosmic Energy (LCE), favourably
or unfavourably or neutrally depending on their position in
the ecliptic such that, they are designated as Lords, Friends,
Enemies, Neutrals in that particular Rasi or Sign of the
Zodiac.
Indian systems have always considered Aswini 0o as the
beginning of Aries. However, the Western tropical charts
have advanced this point into Pisces based on the precession
of equinoxes. The difference between Indian Aswini 0o and
western Tropical 0o is termed the Ayanamsa. Our planet
Earth exhibits three different types of motions. One is the
Rotational motion on its axis to the tune of 24 hrs. The
second is the revolutional period around the Sun which
takes about 365.25 days for one revolution around the Sun.
The third motion is the Preccessional motion. The North
Pole of the Earth circumscribes a very slow Precessional
motion or Nutation. This takes about approximately 25920
years for one rotation or 72 years for one degree or 2160
years for a 30o period. This creates demarcation points
of the astrological signs to shift in the ecliptic path which
the Earth and the planets follow in their motion around
the Sun, to the extent of 1o for every 72 years in the anti-
clockwise direction. However, Indian astrologers have
Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 3

unequivocally voiced that this precession does not have any

effect of the demarcation points of the 12 signs of the Zodiac
which is always considered as Aswini 0o as the beginning of
Aries or Mesha. Predictions based upon this assumption is
accurate compared to the Tropical charts. However, a lot of
confusion prevails as to the correct Aswini 0o, as most of the
astrologers are discerning this point based on the longitudes
of planets obtained for Tropical positions of planets from
the astrological programs, by using a correction factor
called Ayanamsa. All the horoscopes in this book employ
Prof. BV Ramans Ayanamsa of 385.33 AD, as the author has
found that Ramans Ayanamsa gives better results than
other Ayanamsas for Naadi Predictions.
The earlier book on Naadi Astrology: Predictive Rules (VL
Media Solutions), has explained several fundamental rules
required for prediction besides explaining rules of planetary
progression, retrogression and exchange. Several readers
had conveyed that the rules are not clearly explained. The
rules in that book were derived from few Naadi texts which
the author has come across. Different Naadis advocate
different rules on planetary progression, retrogression
and exchange. This book, not only further elaborates rules,
especially of retrogression and exchange but also registers
variation in the progressive movements of Venus, Mars and
Mercury, depending on whether they are in mobile, fixed or
mutable signs. Since this approach gave results reasonably
accurate, this is explained with about 40 examples or so.
Thus this book attempts to discern the position of the planets
at various periods in a natives life without much ambiguity.
Most important enigma in the Naadi System of Prediction
is to ascertain the position of planets at each and every
4 Language of Rahu

period in an individuals life. This book considers the actual

positions of Jupiter and Saturn. Hence, the progression of
Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Venus, Mercury and Mars
has to be unequivocally ascertained to make a prediction.
This becomes more complicated when retrogressions and
exchanges occur. All such aspects are clearly defined in this
book.
No particular Naadi system is advocated in this book.
Salient features of Bhrigu - Nandi Naadi system explained
by Prof. R.G. Rao, Satyanarayana Naik (2009) along with
principles from Sapta-Rishi Naadi, Sukra Naadi and other
related Naadi texts in Tamil are employed to derive various
rules. The author has discerned these rules himself with
some help from these Naadi texts by examining hundreds
of horoscopes. Several important rules of Progression,
Retrogression and Exchanges are very critically discussed
in these texts. The authors main objective to write this
book is to explicitly bring out these important rules, which
should enable a large number of people to understand and
use Naadi astrology.
Complete planetary positions based on these rules are
shown for all the horoscopes illustrated. Thus, presentation
of two charts for each horoscope explains the rules of
planetary retrogression, progression and exchange without
much ambiguity. The first chart represents positions of
planets upto first period of Saturn and the next chart deals
with the positions of planets for the second period of Saturn.
In this way the positions of planets for any particular period
and their effects could be explained unambiguously. Thus,
progression of planets in prediction, the effect of planets
in retrogression and in exchange are explained through
Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 5

examples clearly. The authors can proudly mention that no

book on Naadi Astrology has explained most of the rules
of Retrogression and Exchange so clearly which are very
crucial for predicting events in an individuals life. Most of
the horoscopes discussed are from the authors diary. The
data for few horoscopes have been obtained from wikipedia.
com. A few horoscopes has been discussed from old Tamil
texts.
A Naadi reader in Tamilnadu shoots lots of questions at
an individual to know about his/her date of birth. From the
date of birth, they cast an horoscope. The Naadi reader then
makes predictions based on the Naadi system of prediction
by reading the palm leaves from the bundle in his hand,
which contains rules of prediction for different planetary
progressions and combinations. The reader is thus trained
to read the rules and apply it to the horoscope in hand.
But the horoscope for that day does not only pertains to
the individual in question, but also to all the people born
with the same configuration of planets. The same horoscope
portends variations. Hence, any prediction based on the
individuals horoscope would be accurate only to the extent
of 60% or so because three other important factors, two
astrological and one non-astrological, should be considered
to arrive at accurate prediction.
The non-astrological factor is the environment. The
environment in which the individual grows up has a
profound importance in his/her life as it can influence the
extent and (to some extent) Nature of things occurring in
an individuals life. Thus the variation we observe in the
case of a Prince and Pauper, Twins and other people born
around the world under identical planetary configurations
6 Language of Rahu

is largely influenced by the Environment in which the

individual grows up.
The other two astrological factors are, the genealogical root
of the individual and the horoscopes of the individuals who
are closely associated with him/her. By Genealogical root,
we refer to the dominant planets in the individuals family
as we observe similarity in planetary configuration between
parents and children and even between grandparents and
grandchildren. A planet placed in a similar Raasi or sign in
the charts of the parents and children or grandparents and
grandchildren could play a big role in deciding the outcome
of the Karakatwa of the planet.
The horoscopes of closely associated people like the
individuals horoscope with those of the parents (if alive),
wife, children, brothers and sisters. An event occurring in
an individuals life at a particular period could be reflected
in these horoscopes also.
If the Horoscope of the individual could predict 60%,
then the other two astrological and non-astrological
factors contribute to the remaining 40% of prediction.
It is important for an astrologer to consider all the above
factors carefully before making an accurate prediction. In
the absence of such information, the Naadi readers resort to
shooting several questions to arrive at the past events. Many
Naadi readers asks too many questions only to give only
accurate predictions on past events. They fail miserably
when it comes to future predictions. Only a good Naadi
reader can make accurate predictions and their numbers
are small.
Astrology developed to a great level in India through ages.
However, still, there is no one unique system that can make
Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 7

accurate predictions. Although Naadi system of prediction

comes close to it, still there are grey areas that requires
clear definition like planetary exchanges, retrogression and
progression. Other systems do not appear to be accurate
to that extent. Indian astrologers should give the world a
unique system of prediction that can be put into a computer
to predict any chart by bringing out into the open, the
secrets of prediction, practiced as closely guarded secrets by
some Schools of astrology in India. Contemporary Physics
cannot explain Astrology. Physicists have put themselves
into an Academic Straight Jacket, that they cannot even
explain most of the phenomenon of the Universe based
on the present vast data generated by their study. Even
Grand Unification of all the forces remain a mystery.
Probably, if Physicists accept something like Astrological
Force, besides the four fundamental Strong, Weak, Electro-
Magnetic and gravity forces, then they could make a
headway in even bringing about the Grand Unification.
Physicists, anthropologists and Astrologers should come
together to explain Astrology mathematically, physically
and genetically. Until that happens Astrology would never
receive the credibility it deserves. India is the only country
in this world where such a beginning can be done. The final
outcome of this exercise would be the Legacy of India to the
World besides its spiritualism for ages to come.
With this I now hope that an interested reader could
learn the nuances of predictions by reading this book and
practicing it in the form of accurate predictions.
 Chapter 2
Rules of Progression, Retrogression
and Exchange

A point of caution Planetary Bodies or Planets

mentioned in this book include Sun, Moon, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and two nodes of Moon
Rahu and Ketu.
A knowledge about the basic characteristics of Rasis and
Planets are essential in interpretation. Planets lens Cosmic
Energy (Lensing Cosmic Energy (LCE)) and focusses them
into space. Earth receives this LCE because of its proximity
to the planets besides Sun and Moon in our Solar System.
Each planet exhibits characteristic LCE in regions of
space covering 0360o in the ecliptic path depending on
its Mass and period of rotation/revolution. They perform
this operation yielding favourable results when they are in
certain regions of the ecliptic plane. This is called Lordships.
In certain regions of Ecliptic they do not yield favourable
results as they lens the background energy which does
not suit them, in those regions. Hence, they functions as
enemies, neutr als debilitatedin such regions. Exaltation
and debilitation are points effecting the LCE favourably or
adversely depending on their proximity to Earth.
In other words, the lordship planet is the only planet
that can lense the planetary LCE favourably through its
mass and motion in that particular region. Other occupant
Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 9

planets can only support or oppose such a lensing energy by

modifying through their individual lensing effects.
