Astrology Secrets Revealed;

Astrology over the years evolved into various flavors and different schools who followed enforced their
application with different rules. Astrology is a divine science and it has to be simple to reveal the behavior of
complex phenomenon of nature. For any newbie who likes to be aware of this science often finds astrology as a
complex study like one reading a mystery novel written by a mystery author.
In this document I try to demystify the astrology and illustrate simple rules that should be obvious to
believe. My intention is to bring more wider acceptance of astrology, not just as a tool to predict people's future
but understand life as it is. If one is wondering how simple it will be in my explanation, let me reason out with a
simple illustration; in our body we have different senses touch, taste, smell, hear, sight which reflect in different
organs in a body but these senses are defined in the genes which are defined at birth. Here one may think gene
is a complex thing to understand, yes it is this simple truth that manifests itself in a complex phenomenon. My
attempt to explain things should not be confused that I am trying to solve the puzzle which came first, Chicken
or egg? I request everybody to keep an open mind. By the way, I don't claim expert in all the astrological studies
nor done profound research or have practical experience; but I am excited to reveal my thoughts as a child who
discovers simple phenomenon without somebody's help. Also in doing so I have changed the concepts and new
references that reason out perfectly with the fundamentals I have outlined.
In a horoscope there are twelve houses, it was told that first house represent body, second house wealth
and so on; why do these houses represent body, wealth, courage etc. How can such complex phenomenon be
classified into 12 houses? The 12 houses in the horoscope show how the spiritualistic and materialistic interact
in 12 different areas of life. The power or control given to Jiva by God in spiritual and materialistic nature differ in
the 12 houses in horoscope. The 12 houses can be broadly classified into three areas of life, personal (1, 2, 3, 4
houses), social (5, 6, 7, 8) and universal (9,10,11,12). It's important to know that spiritual and matter exist in
three levels Bramhan (Soul level), Jiva (material life that connects to our soul) and Maya (the reality which is
illusion that the material life connects to). The table below shows how the spiritual and matter exist in the 12
houses of the horoscope with simple examples that illustrate it's kartatwas in human life at three levels Bramhan level, Jiva Level and Maya Level and also the power of control given to Jiva (what's not it should be
understood as the power is given to other to control).

In one's life there are four basic aims or Pursharthas - 1. Dharma 2. Artha 3. Kama 4. Moksha. The
simple meanings of these four aims are Dharma - to give, Artha - to seek, Kama - to want and Moksha - to take
away. Also in Jiva there are three types of relationships personal (self), social (others that are part of self),
universal (others who are not part of his self).
The table below defines how cycle of Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha Cycle change as the soul changes the
pursuit of material or spiritual.

The earth revolves round the sun and it passes through twelve zodiac, stations or signs. During earth's
revolution when it passed each zodiac, the celestial phenomena reflects or governs human activity on the
principle of "as above, so below", so that the twelve signs are held to represent twelve basic personality types or
characteristic modes of expression. The signs affect the energies of each planet in a characteristic way when it
enters each sign (though due consideration will also be given to other conditions within the astrological chart
such as the effect of aspects to other planets, and the house in which each planet falls). Each sign is associated
with one of the classical elements (fire, earth, air, or water).
The table below shows how the Elemental nature, Zodiac signs, zodiac lords are inter-related in the horoscope.

Note: In the above table Mars, Venus and Mercury are give dual houses. Why is that so?
Mars is lord of first and eighth houses, both in Dharma or Moksha houses when Jiva is in pursuit of
Material or spiritual respectively.
Venus is the lord of second and seventh houses, both in Artha or Kama houses when Jiva is in pursuit of
Material or spiritual respectively.
Mercury is the lord of third and sixth house, both in Kama or Artha houses when Jiva is in pursuit of
Material or spiritual respectively.
The 27 Nakshatras (Nakshatra is a unit of measure in space not the physical stars seen in the sky) and
9 planetary bodies can be distinguished by three gunas Tamas(darkness), Rajas (dynamism) and Sattva
(liberation). The nakshatra is represented at three levels and planet is represented at two levels (2 nd & 3rd). The
missing first level in planetary body is reflected by the zodiac lord of the planet it is occupied. The first level of
gunas in Nakshatra defines what type of zodiac sign range they are in i.e. the first 4 zodiac signs are Rajas in
nature (Aries to Cancer) and second 4 zodiac signs are Tamas in nature (Leo to Scorpio) and last four signs are
Sattva in nature (Sagittarius to Pisces). The 9 planetary bodies also show the same gunas as represented in the
ruling planet of the Nakshatra.
The table below shows the list of Nakshatras, the planetary rulers, zodiac sign and the gunas.

Observation:
Stars in Aries to Cancer are in Rajas, primary level guna which represent the self.
Stars in Leo to Scorpio are in Tamas, primary level guna which represents self interaction with Others.
Stars in Sagittarius to Pisces are Sattva, primary level guna which represents others.
Time is integral part of life or Jiva. The two gunas in the planet are subjective and objective which can be
explained by the time how it emphasis. The rule here is Time in Tamas represents past, Rajas represents
present and Sattva represents future. The table below illustrates the time emphasis on each planet also what it
struggles. Also shows the planet's missing guna(s) which they want. Note if the planet finds the missing gunas in
their environment they are balanced otherwise show unbalanced results.

The power to each house comes from the Nakshatras and Zodiac. The Zodiac and nakshatra are two
forces in life. The Zodiac is a static spiritual force that is defined at birth which shows how the Maya influences
Jiva in all matters of the Bramhan. On the other hand Nakshatra is a Dynamic materialistic force which shows
how the Bramhan influences to Jiva in all matters of Maya that the Jiva wants to do with it's free Will. Wondering
how the static and dynamic forces or energies unfold in the house matters of the horoscope? It's through the
planets.
Let's understand the cycle. The house spiritual matters are ruled by the Zodiac Lord. The zodiac lord
gives it's own personal style of Zodiac to the house spiritual matters. The placement of the zodiac lord (planet) in
the horoscope decides which house controls it's house matters. So far this explains how the static force unfolds
in the horoscope.

On the other hand Nakshatras which are key to the timing of events in Jiva's life influences the house
matters of horoscope dynamically. It's based on three moving variables, Nakshatra Dasa, planets and Bhava
Cusps. Before we understand how Nakshatras manifests it's influence, let's understand the Law of Karma
because Nakshatras hold Karma them. Divine has bestowed the free will to Jiva to do Karma. Along the path
what Jiva chooses to do Karma is often influenced by the Nakshatras directly. It's interesting to know that Jiva
takes birth based on the past life Karma and also based on the Karma of the Maya (Illusion or reality). Similarly
Jiva initiates a new event based on the Karma done before. The key here is to know that future destiny is based
on the Karma done prior to the birth or event but the karma done today can alter the future good or bad of the
destiny that will unfold. The Nakshatra Dasa system shows what planet or planets influence the free will at any
given time in Jiva's life. Next the planets in the horoscope are assigned a Nakshatra which define what Maya or
materialistic matters it controls. Finally the Bhava cusps which signify the matters of the house. It may be
important to know that zodiac influences or spiritual influences are studied on the Lagna chart but the nakshatra
influences or materialistic influences are studied on the Bhava Chalita chart.
Rahu and Ketu are shadow points in the horoscope. Rahu is the point in the horoscope that Jiva breaks
the bond to Bramhan and Ketu is the point in the horoscope that Jiva breaks the bond with Maya. That's the
reason Rahu is understood as Maya karaka and Ketu as Moksha Karaka. In doing so both Rahu and Ketu create
the imbalances between matters related to the Bramhan and Maya in the opposite houses they are in. It's
observed that Rahu exaggerates the house it is in and Ketu depresses the house it is in when the Jiva is in
pursuit for material happiness (Maya) and vise versa for spiritual pursuit(Bramhan). The aspects strength of
Rahu and Ketu to other houses in the horoscope reveals how the individual's material and spiritual pursuits are
amplified.
It will be interesting to know that Rahu and Ketu in one's life expressed through the Navarasas. Rahu
and Ketu expresses the Navarasas of the planet that aspects them or of the zodiac lord it's placed in. In one's
life if the soul is in pursuit of material pursuit like mentioned earlier Rahu will expresses the Navarasa of the
planet highlighted to the house matters it is in but on the other hand Ketu will depresses the Navarasa of the
planet highlighted to the house matters it is in and vice versa for spiritual pursuit.
The table below shows the Navarasa attached to each planet.

In the beginning of the document I mentioned that I am not solving the puzzle chicken and egg mystery,
which came first? What I meant is, one may wonder why planets effect them in the first place differently, when
they are just pure masses of bodies, where no life exist on them? I think there exists life in other dimension on
these planetary bodies. It's our senses that cannot experience it. Turning to divinity and chanting mantras of
these planetary bodies will alter the effects that's destined by law of nature.
Astrology may look magical because we experience the truth of it on the surface level there is more to it
when you dig it. I think I have dug one more step closer to it's core of knowledge.
