Astrology
By
Prof. O.P. Verma
Preface
Astrology is the scientific discipline concerned with
possible actions of cosmic bodies upon organic life and
inorganic substances on our planet earth. Astrological
science for this purpose has been divided into many
branches, Natal Astrology is one of them and is directly
concerned with the birth of a being as a physical body.
From the chart cast for the positions of heavenly
bodies for the moment, date and place of birth can be
delineated character, temperament, mental tendencies,
physical peculiarities, ailments and events which will
affect life to a marked extent. For this we require to study
characteristics of planets blended with the
characteristics of houses and signs they occupy in
relation to quality of aspects they behold so that they
reveal the truth.
The correct delineation of aspects is very essential
requisite for interpreting a horoscope. In Vedic Astrology
emphasis has been exclusively on the conjunction of two
or more planets irrespective of their sign positions.
Though some of the aspects have been delineated in
Brihat Jataka, Saravali and Vriddha Yavana Jataka but they
seem to be inadequate in modern context and changing
circumstances when newly discovered planets Uranus,

INTRODUCTION
Astrology is the science which comprises the study
of heavenly bodies in relation to elements and creatures
on the earth, particularly the human beings. Statistical
data reveal that human beings are influenced by the
movement of stars and planets. There are various
methods to assess and arrive at conclusions about
certain areas of life.
The planetary aspects are modifying and
determining influences in a birth horoscope. Unless
aspects are properly computed and studied, the
necessary modifications cannot be read and the
delineations not being properly made. The influence of
a planet in a house can be understood only under the
perspective of its sign placement and aspects it receives,
for its own influence undergoes great modification by
these two factors. In other words the natural sympathies
and antipathies of the aspected and aspecting planets
are the keys in delineating the aspects.
In Vedic Astrology all aspects are counted from
sign to sign. The benefic or malefic influence of an
aspect greatly depends upon the relation of aspecting
and aspected planet e.g. the aspect between the Sun
and Saturn is bad one for both planets being natural
enemies to each other. But in Dasa conn xt i.e. in their

ASPECTS DEFINED
An aspect is a certain angular distance between two
points in zodiac. It is from one planet to another or from
a planet to certain house cusp in a chart. Certain
distances are assigned certain names like conjunction,
trine etc. In other words an aspect is a certain angle formed
between two planets as seen from the earth. These angles
formed at the earth influence the earthy matters
according to harmonious or inharmonious vibrations
amongst the bodies in aspect. Human being, the supreme
creation is greatly affected by these vibrations due to his
power to think, analyse and act some what independently.
Planets have different wave lengths depending on
their intensity of illumination and colour. These wave
lengths are planetary viberations manifesting differently
at different angles. Some are pleasing to our sensibility
and some are agitating that affect and try to arrange
chemical constituents ofthe body accordingly. Human
mind senses these bodily changes and conditions
subconsciously. These changes and conditions

ASPECTS- VEDIC RELATIVE TO WESTERN
No great difference exists between the Vedic and
Western aspects. Difference lies only for want of proper
reconciliation. Planets are same; zodiac is same;
Westerners use Naksatras as fixed stars while in Vedic
Astrology lordship ofNakshatras has been awarded to
various planets for a set of stars falling in belt of 13-20',
each. Westerners follow fixed zodiac while Vedic
Astrologers use sidereal zodiac and the great difference
lies only in precession of equinoxes. Basic concept of
Astrology is almost the same, however, the difference
lies also in the systems of delineation.
Let us begin with basic aspect which is conjunction.
Conjunction: In Vedic Astrology conjunction occurs
when two or more planets are in the same sign. Here no
orbs of influences are used, only sign position is
considered.
In Western Astrology if the conjunction occurs in the
same sign with in 9 orb of influence it is good. If two or
more planets are placed in the end of one sign and in

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF THE SUN
The Sun is dry, hot, masculine and life giving force.
In principle he has much to do with the health, vitality
and exposition to the world. An individual's progress
and social success is very much dominated by the Sun.
Generally he has dominion over the positions of rank,
high office and title. The Sun urges an individual to
manifest outward and forward with abundance of
physical energy. Power and leadership, command and
control are the virtues of a strong and well placed Sun
along with self reliance, dignity and strength of
character.
A well placed but afflicted Sun tends to either
excesses or imbalances of the above stated virtues. The
native tends to promise much; but performs a little along
with a boasting disposition. Afflictions to the Sun
sprinkle out as inner selfishness and sensuality.
All aspects to the Sun affect the individuality rather
selfhood, the use of will power and the way of its use.

be an ideal match. His mother is very wicked and greedy
lady. The boy is such a fool that he passes to his mother
all the conversation he had with his wife. The boy lacks

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF lVIERCURY
Mercury is active, changeable and sexless planet. He
furnishes the mental force necessary to a great extent
towards sanity and survival on this planet earth.
Mercury corresponds to mind's action, resulting in
perception, thought and mental power or intelligence
to analyse conditions and develop adaptability to
environment; also to arrange details to suit personal
needs and requirements. Through the nerves he
influences the part of the body denoted by the sign he
occupies. He relates to the tongue and hands as agent
for the expression of mind.
If Mercury rises ahead of the Sun, logic and reason
guide the native in life. If he rises after the Sun, the
decisions made are impulsive in nature.
Mercury in fire and air signs has more healing or
curative powers by directing the mind exclusively
towards the trouble or place of illness. Mercury in
Gemini has healing powers in his hands and speech.

If Mercury and Jupiter conjunct, the native will be
deaf, learned and will suffer from diseases of eye. If both
be specifically in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native
will be lucky, famous and virtually disposed.
Mercury conjunct Venus-A sense of beauty and
grace, lightheartedness, merriment and thoughts of love
are the key notes of this conjunction.
The native has refined mental qualities and his mind
is sympathetic, artistic and poetical. He displays grace
in speech, writing and is communicative. Etiquette of
Venus and communication ability of Mercury make the
native a good diplomat. His selection of time and words
is exact in this respect. On this account he also proves
to be a good partner in marriage .or otherwise. The
understanding for relationship is great with this
conjunction and if the native also has strong Saturn, he
can be a good mathematician.
Generally, the native with this aspect chooses the
social and pleasurable side of life, not the laborious. He
takes delight in enjoying the lighter form of literature.
He is usually healthy as he worries very little and
jealousy does not agree with his temperament.
According to classical authors, if Mercury and
Venus are conjunct at birth, the native is abundantly

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF JUPITER
Jupiter by nature is warm, moist, sanguine,
temperate, social, expansive, masculine and moderate
planet. He has dominian over the liver, veins, arteries,
thighs and fa tin the body. He rules religion, philosophic
reasoning and higher education. An unafflicted Jupiter
makes the native good, sound and exact reasoner while
badly placed or afflicted Jupiter usually exhibits, poor,
uncertain and unreliabe judgement.
If in a horoscope Jupiter is above the horizon, his
influence manifests early in life than when below. Jupiter
unafflicted ascending or one of the rulers or in a
quadrant is fortunate, generally and particularly for the
sign and house occupied by him. Jupiter has to do
particularly with the social standing and refined
domestic element.
Jupiter operates through the significations of the
houses occupied or ruled by him and through the house
of his sign of exaltation. The aspects of Jupiter indicate

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF VENUS
Venus is feminine in nature. She rules the sense of touch
and disposition. She signifies the higher attributes of the
mind, music, singing, poetry, painting, drama and all
refined amusements and adornments. She is beneficial
and fruitful and expresses through the character of an
individual by generosity, good humour and love. Men and
women ruled by Venus are kind and sociable.
When well aspected in the horoscope, she endows
the native with a pleasant countenance, symmetrical
form and graceful manners. She has the ability to
convert anger into pleasures and is the natural peace
maker. Venus ruled people are excellent hosts.
When adversely aspected in the horoscope, the real
and finer attributes of Venus are submerged, only the
emotional side dominates the individual which may be
detrimental to other's interests.
When Venus is afflicted in the horoscope, she
produces unsatisfactory domestic conditions, anxiety in

PLANETARY CONJNCTIONS
OF SATURN
Saturn is cold, dry, phlegmatic and windy,
melancholic, earthy and masculine by nature. Sexually
he is l;lermaphrodite. He rules over teeth, bones, spleen,
knees and the sense of hearing.
Saturn's influence is heavy, binding and lasting in
effect. His influence is much maligned so he is called
evil. Saturn has deterrent effect bringing denial and
necessity into some lives. Saturn does not like pride and
brings down it to his knees. He humbles the nature of
pride by imposing restrictions, limitations and
adversities and compels the native to ponder, study and
introspect the cause of woe. Saturn teaches the lesson
of prudence and introspection and is a great reformer.
Saturn well placed and aspected in a horoscope
makes the native serious, practical, economical, prudent,
conservative, executive and a good manager.
Saturn evilly placed or aspected in a chart seems to
produce a chain of adversities, delays, restrictions,

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OFRAHU
We know that Rahu or north node of the Moon is
one of the two points where the plane of the Moon's
circuit cuts the plane of the Sun's circuit or earth's circuit
or the ecliptic (these three terms represent one and the
same Jhing). It is known as Dragon's Head. The other
point of intersection is called Ketu or Dragon's Tail or
south node. Rahu is the point from where the Moon
traverses to her northern course while Ketu is the point
from where she traverses to her southern course.
According to Western Astrqlogers Rahu is a benefic
like the nature of two fortunes Jupiter and Venus. In
Vedic Astrology, Rahu is considered a materialistic and
opportunistic planet who is always eager to attain
worldly pleasures. It belongs to lower sections of the
society. It is cruel and untouchable.
Actually Rahu represents lust. The word lust should
be used here in a wider perspective according to its position
in sign and house and the evolution level of the horoscope
under scrutiny. For example Rahu in the Lagna either

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OFKETU
According to Western Astrologers Ketu is a malefic
like Saturn and causes inhibitions, delays and
disappointment in undertakings. It weakens the
significations of the planet it is conjunct with.
In Vedic Astrology, Ketu is Mokshakaraka, the planet
leading to emancipation. It remains in deep meditation. It
is very influential spiritual planet who takes the native
away from lust. Ketu creates miseries in such a way that
the native becomes aware why the miseries have been
inflicted upon him. He becomes aware of the cause and
does not indulge himself again in the same process.
Therefore' Ketuis also called Gnankaraka, i.e., knowledge
provider. Thus we see that Ketu is strongly Karmic in
character.
Ketu Conjunct Uranus- Disruption due to changing
social conditions is the key note of this conjunction.
The native is the most affected person from the
changing sociological conditions .. These changing

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF URANUS
Uranus is cold, dry, airy, positive, magnetic, strange,
occult and malefic. He acts without prior meditation.
He loves original and genuine ideas. He is against the
routine work and loves sensational adventures. He
governs the faculties of curiousity, invention,
investigation and all things of a curious and wonderful
nature like modern art. He has ruling over the intuitive
intellect and ankles in the human body. He has dominian
over electricity and communication technology. His
metals are aluminium, platinum, uranium and radium.
If Uranus is strong, the native is interested in occult
research, reforms and advanced lines ofthought. He is
attracted to such subjects as astrology, occultism,
phrenology, mesmerism, magnetic healing, telepathy,
electricity, wireless, inventions etc. Due to such interests
and non acceptance of traditional values as it is, he appears
odd, eccentric, a mental crank living ahead of his times.
If Uranus is strong and well aspected in a horoscope,

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
OF NEPTUNE
Neptune appears to be the planet of nebulous state,
more psychic than physical or material. He represents
inspiration, spirit feeling, mediumship and inner
perception. He governs the receptive faculties. He is of
neutral and spiritual nature. Spiritual here does not

HARMONIOUS AND
INHARMONIOUS ASPECTS
In Vedic Astrology harmonious and inharmonious
aspects among the planets depend upon their natural
significations and their basic characters. Planets of
contrary characteristics usually display inharmony when
in aspect. However the lordships of planets have a great
say in moulding the planets considerably, when in aspect.
This change in nature and characteristics is particularly
noticeable during their Dasas and Bhuktis. Thus we see
that in Vedic Astrology the results of aspects of planets
depend upon their natural characteristics and lordships.
In Western Astrology, it is' the angle between the planets
that decides harmonious or inharmonious aspects. The
planets at fl.)o or 120 apart are supposed to be in harmony
or create a harmonious aspect, tend to enhance each other's
good significations, modify and retard the bad
significations. If the angle is 90 or 180 or placed in 6th/
8th to each other, then they are said to be in inharmonious
aspects. They tend to irritate and block each other's
significations. They give bad results for the houses they
are posited in and for the houses ruled by them.
