Chapter 1

Introduction

Each Planet in Astrology has certain characteristics associated with it� One of them is the Language�

Among the planets, Rahu and Ketu are also considered as Planets, although they signify the bisecting points in space of the orbital plane of Earth and Moon� Language of Rahu is attributed to Astrology� Rahu is an important factor in determining whether or not a person can study or be proficient in Astrology� In all Indian and Western astrological systems, Rahu and Ketu are held in high esteem� Rahu governs ending of a period or a process, longevity, foreign residence, largeness of an operation, multitude and distraction or obstruction of destiny among other things� Its counterpart, Ketu, signifies rope, bondage, narrowness, longevity, distraction or obstruction of destiny, relief from mental, legal, professional, ailments, tumor, cancer and incarceration among other aspects� In this book, lot of importance is attributed to the role of Rahu and Ketu in influencing the Life Propeller-Jupiter, and the Karma designator-Saturn�

According to the Indian system, the background space of each sign starting with Aswini 0o as the beginning of the Aries is important� Thus Indian systems have inadvertantly attributed lot of influence to the background space as responsible for influencing humans which formed the basis of 27 constellations and division of each constellation into

2 Language of Rahu

padas of 3�33o and Two and a Quarter constellation to a Rasi of 30o and so on� Since, the whole Universe is full of Energy, the Rasis or Signs depicts variation in this Cosmic Energy over the entire ecliptic path which the planets follow� The planets further lense this Cosmic Energy to the Earth which results in the astrological influence that affects our lives� Rahu and Ketu points probably serve as gateway for this energy by enhancing or reducing them� Hence, this book, is appropriately named as the Language of Rahu� Planets, themselves in turn, lense Cosmic Energy (LCE), favourably or unfavourably or neutrally depending on their position in the ecliptic such that, they are designated as Lords, Friends, Enemies, Neutrals in that particular Rasi or Sign of the Zodiac�

Indian systems have always considered Aswini 0o as the beginning of Aries� However, the Western tropical charts have advanced this point into Pisces based on the precession of equinoxes� The difference between Indian Aswini 0o and western Tropical 0o is termed the Ayanamsa� Our planet Earth exhibits three different types of motions� One is the Rotational motion on its axis to the tune of 24 hrs� The second is the revolutional period around the Sun which takes about 365�25 days for one revolution around the Sun� The third motion is the Preccessional motion� The North Pole of the Earth circumscribes a very slow Precessional motion or Nutation� This takes about approximately 25920 years for one rotation or 72 years for one degree or 2160 years for a 30o period� This creates demarcation points of the astrological signs to shift in the ecliptic path which the Earth and the planets follow in their motion around the Sun, to the extent of 1o for every 72 years in the anti-clockwise direction� However, Indian astrologers have

Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 3

unequivocally voiced that this precession does not have any effect of the demarcation points of the 12 signs of the Zodiac which is always considered as Aswini 0o as the beginning of Aries or Mesha� Predictions based upon this assumption is accurate compared to the Tropical charts� However, a lot of confusion prevails as to the correct Aswini 0o, as most of the astrologers are discerning this point based on the longitudes of planets obtained for Tropical positions of planets from the astrological programs, by using a correction factor called Ayanamsa� All the horoscopes in this book employ Prof� BV Raman’s Ayanamsa of 385�33 AD, as the author has found that Raman’s Ayanamsa gives better results than other Ayanamsas for Naadi Predictions�

The earlier book on Naadi Astrology: Predictive Rules (VL Media Solutions), has explained several fundamental rules required for prediction besides explaining rules of planetary progression, retrogression and exchange� Several readers had conveyed that the rules are not clearly explained� The rules in that book were derived from few Naadi texts which the author has come across� Different Naadis’ advocate different rules on planetary progression, retrogression and exchange� This book, not only further elaborates rules, especially of retrogression and exchange but also registers variation in the progressive movements of Venus, Mars and Mercury, depending on whether they are in mobile, fixed or mutable signs� Since this approach gave results reasonably accurate, this is explained with about 40 examples or so� Thus this book attempts to discern the position of the planets at various periods in a native’s life without much ambiguity�

Most important enigma in the Naadi System of Prediction is to ascertain the position of planets at each and every

4 Language of Rahu

period in an individual’s life� This book considers the actual positions of Jupiter and Saturn� Hence, the progression of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Venus, Mercury and Mars has to be unequivocally ascertained to make a prediction� This becomes more complicated when retrogressions and exchanges occur� All such aspects are clearly defined in this book�

No particular Naadi system is advocated in this book� Salient features of Bhrigu - Nandi Naadi system explained by Prof� R�G� Rao, Satyanarayana Naik (2009) along with principles from Sapta-Rishi Naadi, Sukra Naadi and other related Naadi texts in Tamil are employed to derive various rules� The author has discerned these rules himself with some help from these Naadi texts by examining hundreds of horoscopes� Several important rules of Progression, Retrogression and Exchanges are very critically discussed in these texts� The author’s main objective to write this book is to explicitly bring out these important rules, which should enable a large number of people to understand and use Naadi astrology�

Complete planetary positions based on these rules are shown for all the horoscopes illustrated� Thus, presentation of two charts for each horoscope explains the rules of planetary retrogression, progression and exchange without much ambiguity� The first chart represents positions of planets upto first period of Saturn and the next chart deals with the positions of planets for the second period of Saturn� In this way the positions of planets for any particular period and their effects could be explained unambiguously� Thus, progression of planets in prediction, the effect of planets in retrogression and in exchange are explained through

Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 5

examples clearly� The authors can proudly mention that no book on Naadi Astrology has explained most of the rules of Retrogression and Exchange so clearly which are very crucial for predicting events in an individual’s life� Most of the horoscopes discussed are from the author’s diary� The data for few horoscopes have been obtained from wikipedia�com� A few horoscopes has been discussed from old Tamil texts�

A Naadi reader in Tamilnadu shoots lots of questions at an individual to know about his/her date of birth� From the date of birth, they cast an horoscope� The Naadi reader then makes predictions based on the Naadi system of prediction by reading the palm leaves from the bundle in his hand, which contains rules of prediction for different planetary progressions and combinations� The reader is thus trained to read the rules and apply it to the horoscope in hand�

But the horoscope for that day does not only pertains to the individual in question, but also to all the people born with the same configuration of planets� The same horoscope portends variations� Hence, any prediction based on the individual’s horoscope would be accurate only to the extent of 60% or so because three other important factors, two astrological and one non-astrological, should be considered to arrive at accurate prediction�

The non-astrological factor is the environment� The environment in which the individual grows up has a profound importance in his/her life as it can influence the extent and (to some extent) Nature of things occurring in an individual’s life� Thus the variation we observe in the case of a ’Prince and Pauper’, Twins and other people born around the world under identical planetary configurations

6 Language of Rahu

is largely influenced by the Environment in which the individual grows up�

The other two astrological factors are, the genealogical root of the individual and the horoscopes of the individuals who are closely associated with him/her� By Genealogical root, we refer to the dominant planets in the individual’s family as we observe similarity in planetary configuration between parents and children and even between grandparents and grandchildren� A planet placed in a similar Raasi or sign in the charts of the parents and children or grandparents and grandchildren could play a big role in deciding the outcome of the Karakatwa of the planet�

The horoscopes of closely associated people like the individual’s horoscope with those of the parents (if alive), wife, children, brothers and sisters� An event occurring in an individual’s life at a particular period could be reflected in these horoscopes also�

If the Horoscope of the individual could predict 60%, then the other two astrological and non-astrological factors contribute to the remaining 40% of prediction� It is important for an astrologer to consider all the above factors carefully before making an accurate prediction� In the absence of such information, the Naadi readers resort to shooting several questions to arrive at the past events� Many Naadi readers asks too many questions only to give only accurate predictions on past events� They fail miserably when it comes to future predictions� Only a good Naadi reader can make accurate predictions and their numbers are small�

Astrology developed to a great level in India through ages� However, still, there is no one unique system that can make

Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 7

accurate predictions� Although Naadi system of prediction comes close to it, still there are grey areas that requires clear definition like planetary exchanges, retrogression and progression� Other systems do not appear to be accurate to that extent� Indian astrologers should give the world a unique system of prediction that can be put into a computer to predict any chart by bringing out into the open, the secrets of prediction, practiced as closely guarded secrets by some Schools of astrology in India� Contemporary Physics cannot explain Astrology� Physicists have put themselves into an Academic Straight Jacket, that they cannot even explain most of the phenomenon of the Universe based on the present vast data generated by their study� Even Grand Unification of all the forces remain a mystery� Probably, if Physicists accept something like Astrological Force, besides the four fundamental Strong, Weak, Electro-Magnetic and gravity forces, then they could make a headway in even bringing about the Grand Unification� Physicists, anthropologists and Astrologers should come together to explain Astrology mathematically, physically and genetically� Until that happens Astrology would never receive the credibility it deserves� India is the only country in this world where such a beginning can be done� The final outcome of this exercise would be the Legacy of India to the World besides its spiritualism for ages to come�

With this I now hope that an interested reader could learn the nuances of predictions by reading this book and practicing it in the form of accurate predictions�

Chapter 2

Rules of Progression, Retrogression and Exchange

A point of caution – ‘Planetary Bodies or Planets’ mentioned in this book include Sun, Moon, Mercury,

Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and two nodes of Moon – Rahu and Ketu.

A knowledge about the basic characteristics of Rasis and Planets are essential in interpretation� Planets lens Cosmic Energy (Lensing Cosmic Energy (LCE)) and focusses them into space� Earth receives this LCE because of its proximity to the planets besides Sun and Moon in our Solar System�

Each planet exhibits characteristic LCE in regions of space covering 0–360o in the ecliptic path depending on its Mass and period of rotation/revolution� They perform this operation yielding favourable results when they are in certain regions of the ecliptic plane� This is called Lordships� In certain regions of Ecliptic they do not yield favourable results as they lens the background energy which does not suit them, in those regions� Hence, they functions as enemies, neutr als debilitatedin such regions� Exaltation and debilitation are points effecting the LCE favourably or adversely depending on their proximity to Earth�

In other words, the lordship planet is the only planet that can lense the planetary LCE favourably through its mass and motion in that particular region� Other occupant

Vikram Divakar & Soundar Divakar 9

planets can only support or oppose such a lensing energy by modifying through their individual lensing effects�
