You see how the change in the sign of placement alone changes the intensity of combustion of a planet to a great extent, even though it may be distanced from Sun by the same number of degrees in different signs. For example, the intensity of combustion received by Saturn at 10 degrees from Sun in the sign of Aries may be much stronger than the intensity of combustion received by Saturn at 5 degrees from Sun in the sign of Libra.

Venus relates to luxury, romance, wealth, creativity, and elegance. The house where it is located in a chart defines the area where you need to express yourself socially, passionately, and aesthetically. Venus naturally brings harmony and refinement to the house it occupies. This is the area of life where your attraction falls and a study of Venus in 12 houses will help you know how should approach these areas of life. The activities that the house represents are of great importance to building better partnerships. Venus is very much at play when it comes to love, romance, interests, friendships and artistic inclination. The house it occupies also tells us what you look for in a partner or friend, what your approach towards love is, and what artistic abilities you have. The sign where Venus is posited tells you “how” you express yourself romantically and the house it occupies tells you “where”. This is the house where you need to bring harmony and relate to others. The influence of Venus house should not be studied in its purest form, without any affliction, aspect or influence of other planets and signs. Planetary position differs with each horoscope, so the interpretations may also differ accordingly. Your Venus house however pretty much defines what we have stated above

Astrology is both Science and Art. Hence only the talented can appreciate and understand it. Rightly Visnugupta declares that nobody other than a sage can master the ocean-like science of astrology. The great Varahamihira declares, "No sin will creep into a place that is sanctified by the presence of a true astrologer. No person who studies and divines the course of destiny will ever be found in hell but will reside permanently in the world of Brahman. This book brings to the fore not only the rationality of astrology but also the nature and structure of the correct knowledge that our forefathers possessed regarding the predictable influences of planets on human beings, and gives a spiritual bias to astrology. The reader is taken step by step in this work from the rudiments Viz., the distribution of constellations in the Zodiacal belt which is divided into twelve Signs, and the planetary hierarchy, through the method of calculating the ascendant and other houses of a natal chart, assessment of the strengths, influences, aspects, affliction, mutual relations etc., of the planets, to the final stage of reading the brighter and darker sides of the subject's life, his chances of success and failure, their periods, ingress of the soul into the mortal coil and exit there form as well as its departure to other worlds according to its karma. "In this book, an attempt has been made to give a good account of the science of astrology, with a view to making the reader a good and true astrologer. It also shows that astrology does not make a man a fatalist, helpless automation in the hands of a merciless Fate. It should, on the other hand, help him to take to self-exertion and self-help. This hoary lore, according to the author, is to be practised not for selfish ends but to guide the needy and the distressed, to remove the cause of their suffering and to turn their attention towards God.

Formerly a closed book to the West, the subject has now been clarified and explained by Hart de Fouw and Dr. Robert Svoboda, two experts and long-term practitioners. In Light on Life they have created a complete and thorough handbook that can be appreciated and understood by those with very little knowledge of astrology.

Foretelling Widowhood is the fruit of research work carried out by us during the last two decades. A work of predictive astrology, it amalgamates a plethora of principles enshrined in various classical texts and practical study of birth charts of those who have been unfortunate enough to suffer the immeasurable grief and plight of untimely widowhood. Untimely widowhood is the biggest tragedy that can befall a woman and is irreversible. In olden days, widowhood in general and untimely widowhood in particular was considered an unpardonable sin and a woman had to commit Sati, that is to mount the pyre of her late husband. Was not this inhuman? Women would be ever grateful to Raja Ram Mohan Rai whose untiring efforts led to rooting out of this obnoxious practice. A common belief among masses, as also amongst self-styled astrologers, is that mangati females or those females having kuja dosa in their birth charts are predisposed to suffer widowhood. We would like to humbly opine that this belief is only partially correct. It is not certain that females having kuja dosa will essentially undergo the miseries of marital disaster such as widowhood. Many females, who suffered untimely widowhood, were not mangati either from ascendant, or from Moon or from Venus. This is difinitely a wrong concept that widowhood will curse only a mangati female. In fact, much is not known about the kuja dosa and its actual effect.

Welcome to the revised edition (2022) of Combust Moon Part 1. When a planet comes closer to Sun, more than a safer distance to be maintained, such planet may become weaker as Sun may burn out some of its strength. Such planet that loses some of its strength by virtue of being too close to Sun is called a combust planet. It means when such planet happens to be Moon, it is called combust Moon. Such combination of Sun and combust Moon can produce a wide variety of results in various houses of horoscope, depending on benefic/malefic nature of these two planets, their signs as well as nakshatras of placements, and on the overall theme of the horoscope under consideration. This book deals with the placements of combust Moon in the first three houses of horoscope. Benefic as well as malefic effects of combust Moon have been discussed in each one of these houses in different signs, along with relevant examples from horoscopes.
