Case studies given below
Business partnership I
In this example we take the case of three business partners who are
running a Software Consultancy in the USA. The chart given is that
of the dominant of the three who runs the business and hence we
consider him as the puruśa (male principle or leadership) and take
his Moon’s position (Scorpio). This sign is the reference to judge
the relationship between his other two passive partners (P2 & P3),
who assume the role of prākŕti (female principle or support). The
puruśa is treated as the Sun and so, in the chart we shall place the
sun in Scorpio. The Janma rāśi of the other two partners shall be
treated as the Moons. P2 has Taurus Moon sign and P3 has the Moon
sign in Leo.
Janma Rasi of Dominant Partner (Purusa): Scorpio
Janma Rasi of P2: Taurus
Janma Rasi of P3: Leo
Chart 1: Chart of P1 (Scorpio Moon)
Observe that P2’s moon is in 7th house from that of P1’s, hence this
is śukla pakśa and bodes good for the partnership. On the other
hand, Moon in Leo for P3 is kŕśna pakśa, hence this can cause ill
will, disharmony in partnership and eventually affect the business.
However, lets go one step further and analyze the saàbandha between
Mars, who is the lord of Puruśa Moon sign and Venus & Sun, the Moon
sign lords of P2 & P3. Venus is a natural enemy of Mars but in the
temporal relationship we find Venus placed in the third house from
Mars generating friendship and support. Thus, the over relationship
between Mars & Venus is neutrality. Hence we can easily conclude
based on this neutrality and the śukla pakśa relationship we
analyzed earlier, that relationship between P1 & P2 would be
wonderful and good for the progress and prosperity of the business.
Now, Sun is a natural friend of Mars and is also placed in the third
house from Mars promising temporal friendship as well. The
relationship between these two becomes very close and is classified
as intimate (adi-mitra). However, we had analyzed earlier that the
intrinsic relationship between P1 & P3 was kŕśna pakśa, which tells
us that, there will be lots of ups and downs in their relationships
and that they would have to put in a lot of effort and understanding
to keep disharmony out of their relationship in order for the
business to prosper.

Now, we take P1’s moon sign (Scorpio) as the reference point and
count houses till the other partners moon sign, which are P2
(Taurus-seventh house) and P3 (Leo-tenth house). Here again we find
that P1’s relationship with P2 is much better than his relationship
to P3! (see table below)

Quarrels and misunderstanding; marriage maybe considered if
the Subhapati are friendly and will last, but there will be
many quarrels. |
Fact: One of the partners has personally confirmed that the business
is doing well notwithstanding the economical downturn the world is
facing and indeed the relationship between P1 & P2 is fantastic
while the same between P1 & P3 needs a lot of work (compromises) to
maintain a harmony.
Business partnership II
Here’s an example of 3 business partners P1, P2 & P3, with P1 being
the dominant, hence he will the puruśa in the relationship with P2 &
P3.
Janma rāśi of dominant partner P1 (puruśa – the Sun): Capricorn
Janma rāśi of P2: Pisces (the Moon-1)
Janma rāśi of P3: Cancer (the Moon-2)
Chart 2: Partner-1 (Capricorn Moon)
P1’s moon sign is Capricorn and that of P2 and P3 are Pisces &
Cancer respectively. Treating the Moon sign of P1 (Capricorn) as the
Sun, and those of the other partners P2 & P3 as the Moons, we
observe that both are in śukla pakśa. Hence this bodes very well for
the business and has indications of a prosperous partnership.
Now, let’s analyze the natural relationship of moon sign dispositor
of P1 (Saturn lord of Capricorn) with those of P2 (Jupiter lord of
Pisces) & P3 (Moon lord of Cancer). A look at the natural
relationship table given will show that Saturn considers Jupiter as
neutral and Moon as its enemy. However in the chart, Jupiter is
placed in the third house from Saturn indicating good temporal
relationship and the Moon is placed in the twelfth house from Saturn
indicating good temporal relationship. The overall relationship
between Saturn & Jupiter is one of friendship (mitra) while that
between Saturn & the Moon is neutrality (sama). Hence, the dominant
partner P1 will have good relationship with P2 while he is likely to
be neutral towards P3.
The first reading of śukla pakśa indicates that P1 shall benefit
substantially from this partnership. The reading of natural
relationships indicates that P1 shall be neutral towards P2 while he
will tend to ignore P3 in behavior. The reading of temporal &
overall relationship indicates that P1 shall maintain good
relationship with P2 while his relationship with P3 will be
continued out of necessity.

but will continue the relationship out of necessity. |
Now, we take P1’s moon sign as the reference point and count houses
till the other partners moon sign. Doing this to both P2 & P3 we get
the following:

Excellent compatibility, especially in matters concerning
the opposite sex. This is not a marriage match and is not of
much consequence. |
Fact: P1 initially started out doing business with absolutely no
money. He approached P2 & P3, who generously lend him enough money
and became silent partners with him. After nine years, P1 has
prospered much and has net business worth of INR 250 million (US$ 5
million). The partnership continues.
Associations & Societies
An association or a society is the coming together of like-minded
(Moon) people to further their interests and can be related to
various kinds of activities including professional associations. In
the formation of such societies, the Moon sign plays a key role and
the association of the leading members should be done after such a
study of their Moon signs so that the objectives of the association
are furthered and are fruitful.
Śri Jagannātha Center USA
The Śri Jagannātha Center USA is has the leadership of four people –
Robert Koch, SJC Guru & Lakshmi (Lynne) Kary Secretary, in the west
and Dr. Brendan Feeley, President & P.V.R.Narasimha Rao, CFO in the
east. The Janma Rāśis of the four are –
o Robert A.Koch Libra 21018’
o Lakshmi (Lynne) Kary Libra 2018’
o Dr. Brendan Feeley Leo
o P.V.R.Narasimha Rao Aquarius
Chart 3: Robert Koch
Leadership of an association can be taken by any person and such a
person should normally be holding the chief executive position. For
example in the USA government, it is the President. In India we have
the President and the Prime Minister but the chief executive is
clearly the Prime Minister. Similarly, let us say we have to decide
as to which of the four should have the leadership of this
association to help achieve the objectives of the organization.
If we take Robert Koch as the leader as he is the SJC Guru for
America, we find that the Moon signs of Lakshmi Kary and Brendan
Feeley are in kŕśna pakśa indicating that the organization may have
to see financial hardship and the overall relationships may suffer.
It is the same case with Lakshmi Kary (Libra Moon sign) leading the
organization. If instead we have P.V.R.Narasimha Rao heading the
organization then the Moon signs of Robert Koch and Lakshmi Kary are
in the kŕśna pakśa indicating that the relationship structure may
still undergo strain. In fact, Aquarius must yield to Libra if their
association is to lead to Rājayoga. If we take Dr.Brendan Feeley as
the leader then the moon signs of all the other three are in the
śukla pakśa and this is the best situation, as the organization will
prosper.
It is evident from the above that the President must be vested with
the executive powers to lead the organization. He must have the
necessary support from the other members of the organization to take
this lead. Let us now examine the relationships from his chart as
the leader.
Chart 4: Dr.Brendan Feeley
From Leo, the other Moon signs Libra and Aquarius are in the śukla
pakśa. Sun the Lord of Leo is not in natural friendly terms with
either Venus (Lord of Libra) or Saturn (Lord of Aquarius). This
shows that they will tend to have ‘communication gaps’. Further, in
the temporal relationship, neither Saturn nor Venus is friendly with
the Sun. Saturn is in opposition (but in involved in an exchange
Rājayoga) while Venus is sharing the throne with the Sun.
In fact this is precisely what is happening in the SJC USA
organization. The headship of the organization is being shared
between Robert Koch and Brendan Feeley and for this reason, there
seems to be a lack of direction to the organization. Further, if the
organization has to prosper and succeed in achieving the objectives
of its creation then Brendan Feeley has to take the lead from among
the four.
Upadeśa (Advise)
You are all aware of the chart matching done for marriages and the
various kūta and points system that has been developed for this
purpose. The aim of this article was to highlight (1) the validity
of the teachings of the seers and (2) to demonstrate that there is
more to those points and kūta agreements than what catches the eye.
A simplistic 36-point model is not going to serve any purpose in
making the final decision regarding a lifelong relationship or a
long-term business relationship. The needs are different and so the
matching of charts has to be very specific and the kūta have to be
used based on purpose of the relationship. For example, the yoni
kūta showing sexual compatibility has no relevance to a business
relationship and only shows the moods of the person based on sexual
needs.
The matching of Moon sign/nakśatra is important for all marriages
and such activities where a long-term relationship is being made for
‘financial’ purposes. Even marriage is a social activity undertaken
after a person has become an earning member of the society. The
traditional joint family system (kūla) has given way in various
societies to the nuclear family and the relevance of the Moon
matching (rāśi kūta) in determination of marital ties has been
progressively reduced. This topic of marital relationships is being
discussed by Dr. Brendan Feeley and other Jyotiśa Gurus of SJC.
Home work
1. Cull out illustrations from the sacred literature to bring out
the natural relationship between the deities like the one for Ketu,
Sun & Moon given in the chapter.
2. Why are marriage relationships ‘partially’ excluded from the
Parasarian model? To what extent are they excluded and what is the
alternate model for this excluded part.
Note: Handouts for the ghātaka cakra and vaśikarana shall be
provided at the workshop. In addition, work sheets and charts will
also be provided.
Graha ārudha
Draw the Graha Ārudha Cakra of the speaker (birth chart given
below). The nomenclature used for indicating the Graha Ārudha in the
chart is “Name of planet” with a sub-script that shows the sign
number like ‘1’ for Aries etc. This is not necessary for the
luminaries (Sun & Moon) and the nodes (Rahu & Ketu), as they own one
house each.
Sanjay Rath
Graha ārudha (SR)
Some illustrative examples:
1. Sun: Sun is in Cancer and owns the sign Leo; count from the Sun
to Leo – we get ‘2’. Now count ‘2’ signs from Leo, we get Virgo as
the sign occupied by the Sun in the Graha Ārudha Cakra.
2. Ju-9: Jupiter owns Sagittarius - count from Jupiter (in Pisces)
to Sagittarius – we get ‘10’ signs. Now count ‘10’ signs from
Sagittarius to arrive at Virgo the Ārudha. However, the Ārudha
cannot be in the first or seventh house from the natal position.
Since Virgo is the seventh house, apply rule-3 and the fourth house
from the natal position Gemini becomes the Graha Ārudha.
3. Note that the Graha Ārudha of Rahu & Ketu is always in the same
sign. In this case it is Libra.
Use of Graha ārudha
The graha ārudha cakra is used in more serious matters of the state,
personal life where a one-to-one relationship is concerned and money
or other simpler material objectives are not the reason for the
association. This is of crucial importance in the charts of
politicians where the relationship is based on sharing power or
rising to a position/status (ārudha/image). It can also be used for
corporate and other relationships where positions of power are under
consideration. There are many other uses as well but not in the
scope of this paper.
Indian independence
What role did Mahatma Gandhi and Subhash Chandra Bose play in the
life of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru? Compare their importance using the
Graha Ārudha Cakra.
The horoscope of Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru is at Chart 2 and the Graha
Arudha Chakra is given at Figure-10. It is known that Mahatma
(Mohandas Karamchand) Gandhi was born in Libra Lagna with Venus in
it and can be declared a Malavya Yoga Mahapurusha whereas Subhas
Chandra Bose was a bellicose patriot leading the Indian National
Army during the freedom struggle. Subhas Chandra bose was born in
Aries Lagna and was a great warrior and leader.
Chart 7: Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, 14 November 1889, Allahabad, India.
Graha Ārudha Cakra: Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru
Normally one would expect that the Moon (ruling Jawaharlal Nehru by
being the Lagneśa in Cancer Lagna) would be friendlier to Mars (S.C.Bose)
instead of Venus (Mahatma Gandhi). However, it will be seen that Pt.
Nehru was also born with the Mālavya Mahāpuruśa Yoga (of Venus) like
Gandhi and it is known that ‘birds of a feather flock together’. In
addition, the seventh house is the doorway to success in this world
of Maya (illusion). The Ārudha Lagna is Aries and Venus in strength
is in the seventh from it showing that Venus (associated with Libra)
would play a crucial role in elevating him to the position of being
the first Prime Minister of India. Other Yoga like the Maha Padma
Yoga caused by the destruction of the Kāla-Amrita Yoga is also
present in addition to the rare Graha Mālikā Yoga promising his most
rare position as the first PM of India.
The Graha Ārudha Cakra shows ‘Ve7’ in the first house and ‘Ma1’ in
the fifth house. The Graha Ārudha coming to the Lagna show those
people in whose association one rises and attains the objective of
birth. Thus, ‘Ve7’ would indicate strong Venus born people with
Libra (7) Lagna like Mahatma Gandhi who would play a crucial role in
helping him to attain his desired objective. ‘Ma1’ represents strong
Martian people born in Aries (1) Lagna like Subhas Bose whom Pt.
Nehru would like very much (placed in the 5th house), but who cannot
have a priority over ‘Ve7’. If instead a comparison had to be made
between ‘Ma1’ (in Scorpio in 5th house) and ‘Ju9’ (in Virgo in 3rd
house), then ‘Ma1’ would have a higher influence. In this case, the
Lagna is also the natal Moon sign and the likes and dislikes can be
easily shown from the first house.
The clue to judgment lies in placing the planet in the concerned
house (irrespective of signs) and then reading its results. In the
above example, we have to compare “Venus in Lagna’ with ‘Mars in
fifth house’.
Footnotes:
This has the support of Varāhamihira and later day authors like
Harihara.
Note that these are the houses we normally see for bandhana yoga
(bondage). The relationship implies being tied or bonded to another
and could be the cause for choosing these houses.
Mūlatrikona of Rahu has been taken as Virgo as this is the sixth
house of the natural zodiac and Rahu is the master of diabolical
affairs. In case you choose another sign based on other authors,
recomputed the table.
Mūlatrikona of Ketu has been taken as Pisces as this is the twelfth
house of the natural zodiac and Ketu is the master of emancipation
or escape from the cycle of rebirth.
This is being dealt with by others astrologers in this conference
and beyond the purview of this paper.
