The twenty-seven constellations, or stars are dividcd in threecycles [wta] of nine stars lilr<r]. The cycle begins from the birth-star which is called Janma [wt], followed by (ii) erqE Sampat, (iii)F+rf, Vipat, (iv) eic Kshema, (v) c?qft Pratyari, (vi) wrq Sadhaka,(vii) au Vadha, (vili) ria Maitra and (ix) qfeia Atimaitra. Out ofthese Fqcd Vipat, r<qft Pratyari and qs Vadha are considered asinauspicious.

The constellations are also cal'ed by the namc of their Deitiesand their Synonyms.
The Hindu Astrologers consider a twenty'eighth constellationalso, called Abhijit [afqf"q]. This constellation is supposed to existbetween Uttarashadha lstr<rqE] and Sbravana lqsol]. This is outsidethe purview of Vimshottari Dasa [f4{ffi ErnJ 120 year cycle period,but is taken into account while calculating Ashtottari Dasa [qs'm<rnl based on 108 year cycle.
It is to be noted that each of the nine planets has beenassigned lordship of three constellations in cyclic order. The first

They rule for one, two,three, four, five, six, seven and eight years in the same order.
Tbe most important of all thc:e Dasas (ew) is VimshottariDasa (flawlnt <wr). The nine planets have been allottod periods arfollows : Ketu (+a) Z, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu(<tg) 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19 and Mercury l7 years. The startingperiod is of the planet which rules the constellation in which natalMoon is posited. The portion already traversed by Moon in thatconstellation is left out and the proportional period for the partstill to be traversed is caiculateci. Then follow periods of otherplanets in the above order.
The period is further divided into sub-periods, sub-sub periods,and so on The first sub-psriod belongs to the planet which rulesthe major period Thc sub-periods are also in proportion to thenumbcr of 1'ears allottcd to each pianet. This rule applies to sub-sub period and further divisions also The sub-period is known aseiaivn (Antardasa), wfm (Bhukti) or om-r (Antara). The sub-subperiod is known as fqfln (Vidasa), c<qil<esrT (Pratyantaradasa) orsqeqn (Upadasa). Further divisions are kncwn as qBrT <vn (SookshmaDasa) and cwr<m (Prana Dasa).

Kalachokra Dosa z '6rl=Tfi qr|I. It is a intricate method of
timing events. Planets, signs and coastellations all the three are
involved in it.
Basically the periods, that run, are those of rigns' Their span
ig the same as that of their lords. These spans are-Sun : Leo 5'
Moon : Cancer 21, Mars : Aries-Scorpio ?, Mercury : Gemini-
Virgo 9, Jupiter : Sagittarius-Pisces 10, Venus : Taurus-Libra 6
*J s"torn , capricorn_Aquarius 4 years. Thus the signs owned by
the-same planet have the same periods'
The 27 constellations are divided into two groups-direct and
reverse. The first three constellations are direct, then the next three
reverse, then the next threb direct and so on. Thus 15 constellations
are direct a,rd 12 riverse. The direct constellations are-Ashwini
(qffi), Bharani (q<'rft), Krittika, ({a+r), Punarvasu (ga-Ag)t Pushya

Next step is to find out the first Navamsa or the Navamsa

Technically Sun is a star andMoon a Satellite of earth, however, for all practical purposesastrologers have been treating them at par with other planets.Astrology is a sciencc based on apparent motion of these planetsvis-a-vis Earth.
Later the ancient Hindu astrologers added two nodes of Moon-Rahu [<16] and Ketu [\] also to this famity, making to tally nine(cr{E).
The Wastern astrologers do not accept Rahu (<rg) and Ketu(tg) as planets although more-and-more of them are now givingattention to them. In thd last two centuries, three more planetshave been discovered with the aid of advanced instruments and arereceiving the attention of western astrologers. They are uranus orHershel, Neptune and Pluto.
The Hindu astrologers have explorcd diffe,rent planets exten-'sively from a number of angles to find out their influences and roleson the lives of individuats and societies as a whole in this humanwort*- They have been divided and classified on different bases.An insight into the following tables will give an idea of their labour.

Sun and Mars are wrg (Mineral),Moon and Saturn {er (Root) and Jupiter and Venus dte (Livingobjects). Mercury is a mixture of all the three.
According to Parashara *<rrR, Moon, Mars, Saturn and Rahu[rE] are minerals [mg], Sun and Venus roots [1e] and Mercury andJupiter living objects [fi<].
Amongst the fbur Vedas [iE], Jupiter represents Rigveda [€iq],Venus Yajurveda [q1{c], Mercury Atharvaveda taq{Qq1 and MarsSamaveda [wticl.
Mercury is a benefic when alone or conjoined with beuefics,but a malefic when conjoined with.or aspected by malefics. Bri'ghterMoon is benefic while Darker Moon is malefic. But according tosome astrologers Mercury and Moon are natural benefics. Accordingto Western System, waxing Moon (moving from New Moon to FullMoon) is a benefic and waning Moon (moving from Futl Moon toNew Moon) is a malefic. Western astrologers consider Rahu l<16las benefic and [t-g] as malefic.
Some astrologers do not accept birds (Aves) as separate speciesand include Sun in quadrupeds and Mercury in bipeds.
Ashtakavarga.. srF&F +ri. This is a method to find 9ut whethera planet transiting through a particular house or sigir will givefavourable or unfavourable results.
, According to this method, each planet and also the Aicendant,is capable of throwing beneficial dots on certain houses from itshouse of position. The number of such dots is different for cachplanet. For example, Sun bas 48 beneficial dots, Moon 49, Mars39, Mercury 54, Jupiter 56, Venus 52 and Saturn 39. Their totalcomes to 337. In some areas lines substitute dots.
Suppose we have to find out Ashtakavarga (a{safi +i) of Sun.Wc shall take the natal chart and put down beneficial dots in diffe-rent houses couuted from all the seven planets and the Ascendant.They throw beneficial dots on the following houses from their natalposition :

There is yet another basis for the division of a sign. TheZodiac has been divided by the astrologers into 12 equal signs of30" each. It has also been divided by the Indian astrologers into27 equal constellations of l3o 20'each. Each sub-division is furthersub-divided into 4 equal parts or quarters [qc, s{ur] of 3"20' eachwhich makes the number of such sub-divisions 108. Thus onesign accomodates nine constellation sub-divisions. Actually this isthe basis of the Navamsa (miw) division According to someHindu astrologers, a Navamsa fr<in] chart is more important thana natal chart.
But the constellation can be sub.divided in proportion to thenumber of years allotted to the nine planets in fffirt <qrr[Vimshottari Dasa or t20 year cycle Period]. Such sub-divisionswould be uneven, the shortest being Sun's sub division (40') whilethe longest being Venus's sub-division (2'13'20"). This kind ofsub-division is the basis of Bhukti (nFc) or sub-perio{also.
Any planet, posited in any of the sub-divisions, would beinfluenced not only by the sign lord, but by the constellation lordand the sub-constellation lord or sub.lord also.. That will determine

its behaviour to a great extent. This forms the basis of what isknown today as Krishnamurthi Paddhati (esurcFd-qaFd) In thisPaddhati (raf,a-system), at the time of an event the Ruling Planetsshould synchromize in period as well as in transit. Simultaneouslythey should be ruling at the moment of the event. This makes thepinpointing of the time of the event like marriage, child-birth etc.,easier.

For measuring astronomical distances, the velocity of light
per secon<l is taken as a unit' The light travels at the-rate of
1,76,000 miles per second' By finding out the time taken by light
in travelling from a heavenly body to earth, converting it into
seconds and multiplying the t"tnt Uy l,?6,000 we get the distance of
that body from the earth.
The divisions of different time-measures are as follows :

Planetary combinations lqftrr-. while the western astrologers
look to different aspects and directions for their forecasts, the
Hindu system of prognostication depends mostly on planetary
.o,oUi"uiionr. It is interesting to note that the western system is
more or less an ad.ranced and scicntifically developed version of the
methods suggested in Tajika Shastra'
TheHinduseersa f te ryearso fexper ienceand labor iousworkr c s e a r c h e d t h a t p l a n e t s w h e n p o s i t e d i n a p a r t i c u l a r f a s h i o n i n achart, produce particular results' The number of such planetary
com*nations is very large, as there is no limit to their permutations
and combinations. Moreover, Astrology has to deal with almost all
"rp..u of an individual's life. e'g', marriage' wife' cbildren',wido-
*iooa, future possibilities in life, diseases, likely time of deathetc.,
tr.i"" ft is not-possible to deal with all such combinations within
ii" tinri,",ions of this work in details. However a broad outline
;;i;;;;i"t[ "
few verv important combinations' enunciated
by ancient Hindu seers' may be explained'
TheHinduph i losoohvbe l ieves in th reebas iccosmicqua l i t ieslwl. These are good [q-d$1, not so good [<rfrgur] and bad t(fr-rrsrl'
Aciualty, the first two qualiticr are the parts of the same quality tq
(Sat) as compared to qq (Asat)' They may also be termed as
Benefic and Malefic, Auspicious and Inauspicious' Positive and

the results are positive, fruitful and favourable' but when the evil
has the upper band,.the results are just the opposite'
The lnd ianas t ro logershavec lass i f ied theMuhur ta [ tFcorthe particrilar momentl, the vela [ier], the Tithi [krc], the weekday

d i v i d e d d i f f e r e n t h o u s e s a l s o a s f a v o u r a b l e a n d u n f a v o u r a b l e .Broadly, this division may be understood as follows:
l. Trines, Houses 1,5,9 Best.
l. Quadrants, Houses t,4,?,10 Good' [First house or the
ascegdant ls included in both tbe categories. If we count it in the
Trine.-the three remaining quadrants would be 4, 7, l0l'
SBCTION III PLANETARY COMBINATIONS I99
3. Houses 2,3, I t Not so good.
4. Houses 6, 8, L2 or the Triks. Bad.
So where there is interaction between Best, Good and evenNot so good houses and their lords, favourable results may beexpected. Where Trik houses and their lords intervene, they notonly nullify good results, but sometimes produce adverse resultsas well. Tbe nature and the subject of the results depend on thesignificatorships of the houses and the planets. Their extent dependson the strength of the planets.
As for the special combinations, they may be classified asrmder:
1. Combinations based on Ascendant.2. Combinations based on Moon.3. Combinations based on Sun.4. Nabhas Yoga rrre dtr.

l. Combinations based on Ascendant : flq qlq. The Ascendantplays a pivotal role in a chart. To undcrstand its nature, one has tofind out, whether it is occupied by benefics or malefics. Also whetherit is hemmed in between benefics or malefics. The following yogas[uh] are the results :
(i) Shubha yoga rlq *n, when the ascendant is occupicd bybenefic or beneficg, the native is beautiful and possesses a numberofgood qualities.
