Introduction: Even though Sapta Sunya Yoga Chakra is not mentioned in monumental classics like Brihat Parashari Hora Shastra or Brihat Jataka, this is being used from time immemorial in certain parts of India such as West Bengal in conjunction with the Vimshottari and Ashtottari dasas for fine tuning the events related overall trend in a year. Method of Casting: Step I: Find the “Yoga Total” number The method of casting of this chakra is based on three factors.

i. The vowel of the first akshara (syllable) of name ii. The rasi number while counted from Vrishabha (Taurus) iii. The age under consideration

Vowel of the first syllable of Name: Different tithis (combination of 6) are assigned to each vowel. The numeral assigned to each vowel is based on the total of the tithis assigned to the vowel. For illustration, a and ā are assigned tithis 1, 6, 11, 16, 21 and 26, sum total of which is 81. Hence 81 is assigned to a and ā. Similarly, all other vowels are assigned different values based on the following table.

Figure 1: Numerals of Vowels

Vowel Tithi 1 Tithi 2 Tithi 3 Tithi 4 Tithi 5 Tithi 6 Total

a अ, ā आ 1 6 11 16 21 26 81

i इ, ī ई 2 7 12 17 22 27 87

u उ, ū ऊ 3 8 13 18 23 28 93

e ए, ai ऐ 4 9 14 19 24 29 99

o ओ, au औ 5 10 15 20 25 30 105

Rasi Number: The rasi number assigned to each rasi, while counted from Taurus is given below for easy reference.

Step II: Find the influencing number

The influencing number can be found out by dividing the ‘yoga total’ number by 14 and finding the reminder.

Step III: Finding out the influencing sapta-sunya yoga Look into the Sapta-sunya table and find out the sapta-sunya yoga based on the influencing number.

14 - Nothing special Age at which a particular yoga shall fall:

It is not only important to know the yoga falling on the running year for a native, it is equally important to find out the ages when different yogas shall fall. Yoga total = 14 * Q (quotient) + R (remainder)

Yoga total (w/o age) + Age = 14 * Q + 4 Age = (14 * Q + 4) - Yoga total (w/o age)

This can be easily found using the following table. Figure 4: Age of different sapta-sunya yogas Yoga Influencing

Shat Sunya 1 Shubha Age = 85 – yoga total (w/o age) + 14*n Das Sunya 2 Klesh Age = 86 – yoga total (w/o age) + 14*n Asta Sunya 4 Arishta Age = 88 – yoga total (w/o age) + 14*n Char Sunya 6 Shubha Age = 90 – yoga total (w/o age) + 14*n Prathame Sunya 9 Klesh Age = 93 – yoga total (w/o age) + 14*n Sapta Sunya 11 Arishta Age = 95 – yoga total (w/o age) + 14*n Char Sunya 13 Shubha Age = 97 – yoga total (w/o age) + 14*n

Illustration: Case I:

Name: Sarajit DOB: 25.08.1974 Rasi: Scorpio Age: 26.11.2005 – 25.08.1974 = 1d 3m 31y. So the native is 32 years old. Name vowel: a: 81 Rasi: Scorpio- 7, as counted from Taurus. 1. Yoga total:

a. Name : 81 b. Sign: : 07 c. Age : 32

----------------- Total :120 -----------------

2. Influencing number: Reminder of 120/ 14 = 8

3. Sapta-sunya yoga: Nothing special.

Find the age for different yogas:

Total w/o age = 88 Yoga Influencing number Result Formula Age Shat Sunya 1 Shubha Age = 85 – 88 +14*n 11, 25, 39 Das Sunya 2 Klesh Age = 86 – 88 +14*n 12, 26, 40 Asta Sunya 4 Arishta Age = 88 – 88 +14*n 14, 28, 42 Char Sunya 6 Shubha Age = 90 – 88 +14*n 16, 30, 44 Prathame Sunya 9 Klesh Age = 93 – 88 +14*n 19, 33, 47 Sapta Sunya 11 Arishta Age = 95 – 88 +14*n 21, 35, 49 Char Sunya 13 Shubha Age = 97 – 88 +14*n 23, 37, 51

Case II:

Name: Tina DOB: 16.04.1977 Rasi: Pisces Age: 26.11.2005 – 16.04.1977= 10d 7m 28y. So the native is 29 years old. Name vowel: i: 87 Rasi: Pisces- 11, as counted from Taurus. 4. Yoga total:

a. Name : 87 b. Sign: : 11 c. Age : 29

----------------- Total :127 -----------------

5. Influencing number: Reminder of 127/ 14 = 1

6. Sapta-sunya yoga: Shat Sunya; Result- auspicious

Conclusion: The results of the sapta sunya yoga are to be read in conjunction with the ongoing Vimshottari dasa. If at the time of evil dasa- antardasa, bad yoga happens based on the sapta-sunya chakra, then it would indicate severe suffering and death. Reference:
