Vedic astrology is undoubtedly the oldest and most comprehensive faith of astrology among all such type of faiths practiced across the globe, and whereas some of these faiths have the depth and volume of a stream, some of a river, Vedic astrology is the ocean, which can provide resources to all these faiths and which can validate or invalidate any one of these faiths. I have personally studied and researched many of such faiths, like Numerology, Vaastu, etc., but none of them holds their ground without the support of Vedic astrology, and it is the faith that is the backbone or motherboard of all such faiths. This is what inspired me to make a carrier choice with the ocean itself, and now after years and years of this voyage, I can happily say that I made the right choice, many years back.

Welcome to the revised edition (2022) of Retrograde Mercury Part 2. A retrograde planet may not change its functional nature in a horoscope, in most cases. Hence if a benefic planet goes retrograde in a horoscope, it may still give benefic results. Likewise, if a malefic planet goes retrograde in a horoscope, it may still give malefic results. When a planet goes retrograde, it may undergo some changes in its style of working, rather than in its nature of working. Due to such changes in its style of operation, retrograde Mercury may produce results, which may be different than those given by forward moving Mercury. This book deals with the placements of retrograde Mercury in the 4th, 5th and 6th houses of horoscope. Benefic as well as malefic effects of retrograde Mercury have been discussed in each one of these houses in different signs, along with relevant examples from horoscopes.

If in a horoscope, all seven planets are placed within the axis of Rahu and Ketu; Kaal Sarp Yog is formed in such horoscope; provided both Rahu and Ketu are functionally malefic in the horoscope. It means that even if one of them is benefic in such horoscope, Kaal Sarp Yog may not form in such horoscope. Based on placements of Rahu and Ketu in various houses of horoscope, 12 types of Kaal Sarp Yog exist; from Anant Kaal Sarp Yog to Sheshnaag Kaal Sarp Yog. The book features a chapter on Kaal Sarp Yog and 12 chapters on different types of Kaal Sarp Yog. Important factors which may affect the results given by Kaal Sarp Yog are discussed in details. These factors include placements of Rahu and Ketu in various houses, signs, nakshatras and navamshas; influences of other benefic and malefic planets; and the impact of overall horoscope as well as planetary periods (Mahadashas) on Kaal Sarp Yog. Relevant examples from horoscopes have been included, to make the topics easier to understand. This way; a logical, balanced and comprehensive approach has been implemented.

The presence of a planet in its sign of exaltation or the presence of a planet in its sign of debilitation is only a measure of its physical strength or weakness and nothing more than that, to a great extent. Therefore a debilitated planet can also be a benefic or even the most benefic planet in a horoscope whereas an exalted planet can also be a malefic or even the most malefic planet in a horoscope.

Pitra Dosh is generally interpreted as the curse of ancestors.

The presence of a planet in its sign of exaltation or the presence of a planet in its sign of debilitation is only a measure of its physical strength or weakness and nothing more than that, to a great extent. Therefore a debilitated planet can also be a benefic or even the most benefic planet in a horoscope whereas an exalted planet can also be a malefic or even the most malefic planet in a horoscope.

This book shows you how to access the wisdom of the Nakshatras in your personal life and for society. Through it the modern reader can understand the energies of their stars and learn how to utilize these to bring their lives into harmony with the great forces of the universe. This book is must reading not only for any students of astrology but for anyone interested in self-development or spiritual growth.

As everything in this universe happens for a reason, there must be some reason why Sun and Moon move in forward direction only, Rahu and Ketu move in backward direction only, whereas Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Saturn move in forward as well as in backward direction. Therefore we will deal with these five planets through this series of books and we will see what positive or negative effects they can cause; placed in different houses of a horoscope, when they go retrograde.

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.
