Decoding Astrological Mystery of Past Life Astrology and Past Life Regression : Past, Present, and Beyond – Part 1

Revised Edition | Originally Written in April 2017 |

Based on true Life Events & Story | Republished – September 2023  

Introduction

This article, which I published in 2017 in the thick winter of Jammu and Kashmir, analyses the profound mysteries of past life astrology and the connection between past life regression and true life events of the native, whom I met through the close connection of a friend. The article is based on real-life facts and the events that I gathered through the investigation of the life events of natives in a mystical journey of native past and present life connections from the years 2009 to 2017 onward. An interesting point is that, when I was doing deep research on native life, Saturn transited over my Natal Ketu in the sign of Sagittarius in the winter of 2017.

In spite of the fact that I have no intention of disclosing the identity of the native nor drawing attention to the native’s private life concerns, the purpose of this article is to investigate the profound secrets of past life astrology and the relationship between past life regression and how these practices might assist us in evolving beyond them.

This article’s purpose is to provide a comprehensive discussion on the ways in which past life astrology and past life regression can assist you in comprehending the profound challenges you face in this life that remain unsolved but for which there are solutions that can be found by reading this article. It is my sincere wish that you will find this post fascinating to read by using the techniques of Vedic astrology and previous life regression.

Purpose of this Article : The purpose of this article is to facilitate self-learning, foster comprehension, and facilitate personal growth in the realms of self-awareness and self-realization. Its aim is to assist individuals in comprehending and advancing their spiritual journey towards unity, spirituality, and in the pursuit of truth, which can be partially understood through the analysis of one’s birth chart. However, it is important to note that a comprehensive understanding can only be provided by a yogi or Siddha purush  ( A spiritual master) . In times of adversity, the acquisition of knowledge can serve as a guiding force, illuminating the way towards truth and enlightenment.

Now, let us commence the process of unravelling the intricate enigma of indigenous life experiences, systematically exploring each narrative through an engaging storytelling approach, articulated in my own unique manner with the help of Bhagavad Gita Quotes, Vedic Astrology principals, and little understanding on the  karma, Past life astrology and the past life regression principals.

I have high hopes that you will adore this.

Exploring the Depths of Past-Life Astrology and Past Life Regression

Have you ever wondered about the mysteries of your past lives? Do you believe that your current life is influenced by the events and experiences of your previous incarnations? If so, past-life astrology and regression might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of your soul’s journey.

Past-life astrology is a branch of astrology that focuses on exploring the connection between your birth chart and your previous lives. It believes that the positions of the planets and other celestial bodies at the time of your birth can provide clues about your past life experiences, lessons, and karmic patterns.

By analyzing your birth chart, an experienced past life astrologer can uncover information about your past lives, such as the time period, geographical location, and significant relationships. This knowledge can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that may be influencing your current life.

Delving into Past Life Regression

Past-life regression is another powerful tool for exploring your past lives. It is a therapeutic technique that allows you to access memories and experiences from your previous incarnations. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, a trained past-life regression therapist can help you tap into your subconscious mind and retrieve past-life memories.

During a past-life regression session, you may find yourself reliving specific scenes, emotions, or even physical sensations from a different time and place. These experiences can provide valuable insights into your past life relationships, unresolved traumas, and the lessons you are meant to learn in this lifetime.

The Benefits of Exploring Past Life

Exploring your past lives can have a profound impact on your personal growth and spiritual development. Here are some of the benefits:

• Healing unresolved issues: Past life regression can help you uncover and heal unresolved traumas and wounds from your past lives. By addressing these issues at their root, you can release emotional baggage and experience deep healing.
• Understanding current life patterns: By gaining insight into your past life experiences, you can identify patterns and themes that may be influencing your current life. This awareness can empower you to make conscious choices and break free from repetitive cycles.
• Strengthening relationships: Past life astrology can shed light on the dynamics and connections between you and the important people in your life. Understanding the karmic lessons and agreements you have with others can help you navigate your relationships with compassion and wisdom.

Embarking on a journey to explore past-life astrology and regression can be a transformative and enlightening experience. Whether you choose to consult with a past-life astrologer or undergo past-life regression therapy, remember that the true purpose of these practices is to deepen your understanding of yourself and facilitate your personal growth.

By delving into the depths of your past lives, you can gain valuable insights, heal unresolved issues, and make conscious choices that align with your soul’s purpose. Embrace the mysteries of your past lives, and let them guide you on your journey of self-discovery and spiritual evolution.

Let’s explore what our Divine scriptures says on past life mysteries and karmic issues?

Bhagavad Gita & Reincarnation, Past Life Astrology and Past life Regression

The Bhagavad-gita serves as a primary source for acquiring foundational knowledge regarding the concept of Reincarnation, Karma and the Past life clues.

In the second chapter, Bhagwan Krishna elucidates the process by which the soul transmigrates from one physical form to another in a logical, straightforward, and comprehensible manner. This fact does not rely on subjective belief but may be comprehended and accepted through logical reasoning. In order to comprehend the concept of reincarnation, it is essential to possess a clear grasp of the distinction between the physical body and the metaphysical essence sometimes referred to as the soul.

Below are the quotes from the Bhagavad Gita that elucidate the true meaning of the soul and reincarnations:

“That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul. ” (Bhagavad Gita 2.17)

“For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.” (Bhagavad Gita 2.20)

“The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.(Bhagavad Gita 2.23)

While the essence of the soul surpasses the boundaries of quantifiable material interactions, its existence can be apprehended through the utilization of the subsequent illustration. According to the text, the living being within the body, similar to the sun’s illumination of the universe, illuminates the entire body through consciousness.

According to the Bhagavad Gita verse 13.34,

“O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness.” (Bhagavad Gita 13.34)

Meaning : 

There exist multiple ideas pertaining to the concept of consciousness. In the Bhagavad-gita, an analogy is presented to illustrate the relationship between the sun and its radiance. Similar to how the sun, despite being located in a fixed position, radiates light throughout the entire cosmos, the soul, a minute spiritual being, while placed within the heart of the physical body, illuminates the entirety of the body through consciousness.

Consequently, consciousness serves as evidence for the existence of the soul, analogous to how sunlight or light serves as evidence for the presence of the sun. The presence of the soul within the corporeal form engenders a state of awareness that permeates the entirety of the body. Conversely, upon the departure of the soul from the physical vessel, consciousness ceases to exist. This concept can be comprehended readily by individuals possessing a high level of cognitive ability.

Hence, it can be argued that awareness does not arise as a result of the amalgamation of material components. It represents a characteristic displayed by an organism. The consciousness of an individual, while sharing qualitative similarities with the ultimate consciousness, does not possess the same level of supremacy. This is due to the fact that the consciousness of a specific body is not interconnected with the consciousness of another body.

However, the supersoul, which is present within all bodies as a companion to the individual soul, possesses awareness of all bodies. The distinction lies in the contrast between ultimate consciousness and individual consciousness. (Purport, Srila Prabhupada) 

Reincarnation is a phenomenon characterized by the continuous transmigration of the soul into different corporeal forms. However, within Western cultural contexts, the term reincarnation predominantly denotes the ultimate transition of the soul into a novel physical vessel.

(As explained above in the Bhagavata Gita chapter 2nd, about deeper secrets of reincarnations and past life connections with our current well-being.) 

To understand in a better way, lets understand furthermore on its deep meaning from the bhagavata Gita chapter 8th, 6th verse on incarnations :

In the Eighth Chapter Sixth Verse Lord Krishna says:

Hence we can conclude that, From the profound words shared above, we gain insight into the clear interconnection between our past experiences and our present existence, manifested as karmic imprints. This understanding serves as the foundation for comprehending the profound wisdom encapsulated in the quote about the soul and the body, as elucidated in Chapter 2 of the esteemed Bhagawad Gita.

Lord Sri Krishna said in ‘The Bhagavad Gita’,

" vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani grhnati naro 
'paranitatha sarirani vihaya jirnany anyani samyati navani dehi "

Meaning :

As a man throws away worn-out clothes and replaces them with new ones, so the dweller in the body throws away worn-out bodies and enters into others that are new.” Additionally, he has been quoted as saying, “The sins we committed in our previous lives come back to haunt us in the form of illnesses or ailments.”

Explanation Given By Yogananda in the above Verse :

Lord Shiri Krishna preaching to Arjuna in Chapter 2 | Samkhya Yoga | Verse 22

Whenever there is a need to do so, we remove our worn and/or soiled clothing and replace it with fresh and/or unworn clothing as we go about our everyday lives. In a same manner, the soul, also known as the atman, will eventually shed its old, worn-out physical body and move into a more recent physical body at predetermined intervals during the course of time. The state of our physical body, which degrades with the passage of time and is therefore ephemeral, does not accurately represent the actually unchanging and permanent nature of the soul that sits within it. This is true in the same way that the clothing that we wear do not accurately represent the real state of our physical body.
The eternal does not travel from one location to another, but the soul that is embodied does so, going from one body to another. Each time, it gives birth to itself and builds a mind, a life, and a body for itself out of the components of nature, in accordance with its previous evolution and the requirements it will have in the years to come. The vijnana is the psychic being, and it is responsible for sustaining the threefold manifestation of body, life, and mind. When the gross physical body is no longer present, the vital and mental sheaths will still be present to serve as the vehicle for the soul. The cycle of life always begins again. There is a literal link that can be drawn between all of the many types of life. “A mortal matures like corn, and like corn, he is reborn over and over again.

(Katha Upanisad, Ch 1, verse 6).

This passage makes reference to the concept of rebirth, which is central to the Hindu religious tradition. In this passage, death is analogized to the process of replacing an old, worn-out clothing with a brand-new one. When a disease takes hold of the body and it reaches old age, the immortal soul abandons the body in favour of a new form. Simply put, death is nothing more than an alteration of one’s appearance inside the unbroken flow of eternity.

(The Bhagavad Gita Vol I, Parmahansa Yoganada, p. 218)

Another Verse also explains about Soul strength, Death, and Reincarnation,

Lord Shiri Krishna preaching to Arjuna in Chapter 2 | Samkhya Yoga | Verse 23

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः।।

Shaloka 23, chapter 2 Explanation:

The so-called atman ( Soul ) is immune to harm from weapons, and due to the fact that it lacks both form and shape, it is not possible for any tool to sever it into smaller parts. In the same way, fire is unable to cause it to burn or be destroyed. Because it can only operate on things that have a physical description or dimension, water is unable to wet it. Water can only act on things that have a physical description or dimension. Wind is unable to either dry it out or apply any kind of force on it for the same reason. Therefore, the atman is immune to the effects of the three fundamental forces—fire, water, and wind—any of which are able to have an impact on entities that have a physical form and can be described.

अच्छेद्योऽयमदाह्योऽयमक्लेद्योऽशोष्य ऐव च।
नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुरचलोऽयं सनातनः।।

Shaloka 24, chapter 2 Explanation:

The atman, dear seeker, is impervious to the forces of cutting, burning, decay, and drying out. The five forces of nature, known for their immense power to dismantle physical elements through their synergistic actions, hold no sway over the aatman. It is often called nitya, for it embodies the essence of permanence and unchangeability. The state of permanence bestows upon it the profound abilities of omnipresence, omniscience, and unwavering stability. Behold the profound essence of stability that permeates this very existence, for it is this unwavering quality that bestows upon it the divine attribute of immovability. The eternal self, known as the aatman, is aptly hailed as Sanatana, a term synonymous with the ancient and timeless path of Hinduism, also known as Sanatana dharma. Ah, dear seeker of wisdom, allow me to enlighten you on the profound meaning of Sanatana. It is a sacred term that embodies the essence of existence itself, for it signifies that which transcends the boundaries of creation and destruction, existing eternally in the realm of time immemorial.

अव्यक्तोऽयमचिन्त्योऽयमविकार्योऽयमुच्यते।
तस्मादेवं विदित्वैनं नानुशोचितुमहर्सि।।

Shaloka 25, chapter 2 Explanation:

The essence of the atman eludes mere comprehension and transcendence through the limited faculties of the cerebral realm. Therefore, it is recognised as ‘avyakta’ or indescribable – that which transcends the limitations of language and cannot be captured in mere words. The essence of ‘achintya’ lies beyond the realm of mere meditation or contemplation (‘chintan’). In the realm of ‘chintan’, true understanding is reserved solely for those entities that are within the grasp of our five senses.

जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च।
तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमहर्सि।।

Shaloka 27, chapter 2 Explanation:

For one who has taken birth, death is certain and for one who has died, birth is certain. Therefore in an inevitable situation, understanding should prevail.

Conclusion :

The reiteration of life’s cycles is made abundantly plain in this final lyric. Both birth and death are inevitable parts of the human experience. In the autumn, the leaves become vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange before falling to the ground and going dormant until the following year.

This cycle repeats itself every year, beginning with the growth of new buds in the spring, which then develop into flowers and leaves in the summer. Finally, in the autumn, the leaves turn fiery colours such as red, yellow, and orange before falling to the ground. In a similar manner, the soul joins new bodies during its stages of childhood, adolescence, maturity, and old age.

At the conclusion of its cycle of life, the soul is reborn and accepts a new body to use for the next phase of its existence. This is an unavoidable process that occurs throughout material existence; it is also the mechanism that determines the natural order of birth and death. This reality is perfectly followed by every entity that has ever been in the material manifestation.

This makes it abundantly evident what is carried over from life to life by the soul: Karama and the memory of how it was connected in each and every birth, regardless of whether the soul lives through another cycle on the material plane or not. This is another evidence that the soul is immortal and that it is always connected to the actions that it performs. It is possible to solve its riddle with the assistance of reincarnation and the process of rebirth, and it is the primary driving force behind the previous birth.

After gaining an understanding of the spiritual realm of past life karma, the soul journey, and reincarnation, I am now going to explain the events of the past life of a native in a narrative story and cast study form to imagine and fantasize the beauty of both Astrology and this case study . These events will be known from acquaintances who have gone through the trauma of prior lives’ worth of karmic issues, and this study will focus on that particular individual.

This native went through the process of past life regression (PLR) in order to get over the traumatic experience and recognize a profound connection with a previous life in order to find a solution to these birth-life troubles. PLR helps natives find answers to problems that have been plaguing them since birth.

Although there is no other way to understand the past birth Karama process or what the soul went through in the previous birth or what it will bring to the new birth, God’s way and process of management and operations are way beyond our imagination to comprehend how the life and soul cycle is moving around the birth and death cycle.

This is despite the fact that there is no other way to understand the past birth Karama process. Because we are physiologically extremely small electrically charged energies existing in physical bodies with restrictions up to the material universe, it is not an easy task to explain the life cycle in a straightforward and simple manner.

We won’t be able to comprehend how the deeper roots of the soul’s karmic accounts are related to the cycle of life and death until we are able to cultivate our Kundalini Shakti through intense spiritual penance. Until then, we won’t be able to do anything about it.

We are neither yogic people nor are we born as godly souls with extraordinary sensory abilities that allow us to experience futuristic visions or dreams and be able to understand for what purpose we took birth; however, there are certain methods through which we can understand how our past births are connected with our past karmas. Past life regression therapy is one of the common methods, and having extraordinary astrological knowledge about studying past birth astrological cases via various astrological charts is another. However, in order to be successful, astrologers need to have a lot of experience collecting and analysing various life experiences with natal charts.

In this post, I have done the best I can to explain the processes of past births and incarnations as well as how a soul is associated with both prior and current karmas using the information and understanding that I have of certain astrological principles outlined in the Jamini and Nadi Sutras. I hope that you find this essay helpful. Even yet, there are a great number of gaps and inexplicable occurrences, making it impossible for me to explain everything in clear English. However, a yogi or a saint can better explain and comprehend everything on a deeper level thanks to their respective spiritual and yogic shaktis. It is possible to communicate spirituality more effectively by using straightforward language and by taking a deeper and more nuanced approach to elucidating the Karama and rebirth processes.

When a soul undergoes rebirth into a new body, it forgets everything; the only things that remain attached to the soul are its qualities, which include its previous memories, activities, talents, skills, learning, and sufferings, as well as the events that occurred while the body was in existence. The most significant aspect of this reality is the fact that the soul never forgets the very last instant before it departs from its physical body. The soul also retains a memory of how it feels right before it leaves its physical body and begins its trip to the hereafter.

Lets try to decode How past life regression is related to the past life astrology in the coming sections  ?

What is Past Life Regression or ” Prati Prasav Sadhana ” in Vedic Scriptures ? How it will help Past Life Astrology studies ?

Abstract concept of time passing by and how we living the  life of past.

Patanjali Maharshi, an ancient Indian guru/seer, is credited with having conducted considerable research on the concept of regressing to previous lives.

Patanjali Maharishi, the author of the Yoga Sutras, referred to this process of regressing to a previous existence as “Prati-Prasav.”, The process of reabsorbing the cause is what this refers to. This entails tracing the effect all the way back to its origin, often known as the involution process.

Prasav is the name given to the day that a kid is born. When you perform Prati-Prasav, you go back to the moment of your birth and relive the traumatic events that occurred at that time. This is what it means to be “born again in memory.”

According to Avdhoot Baba Shivanand ji on Prati Prasav Sadhna, 

“Prati” means “again,” and Prasav” means “birth,” meaning “re-birth,” which refers to a very ancient practise that focuses on accessing the deep, hidden bad memories of the past and prior lifetimes. These memories remain concealed deep inside the subconscious mind, even though they have been ‘forgotten’ by the conscious mind. They are the core reasons of our bad emotions, habits, and behaviours that produce more karmic, and as a result, we slip into the infinite loop of cause and effect.

All of these deeply ingrained feelings and psychic impressions are brought to the surface in the Prati Prasav Sadhana practise so that they can be released and healed. What we accomplished in the past is nothing more than a reflection of itself in the here and now.

The unfinished business from our previous lifetimes is supposed to be wrapped up in this one, so that we can move on to better things. The conditions and the troubles that one is currently experiencing are the result of the stored luggage of psychic impressions that one has collected in various lives through each and every action, speech, and thought. This baggage was accumulated over the course of many lifetimes. Not only do the psychic impressions come from previous lifetimes, but they are also received and assimilated during the stages of being a child and a foetus in the womb of the mother.

The presence of challenges in one’s life is often an indicator of unsolved problems; conversely, the more the number of challenges and problems encountered in one’s life, the greater the number of unresolved problems that must be addressed in order to prevent oneself from being reborn into the same kind of situation over and over again.

Samskaras, also known as sanchit karmas or psychic impressions, are the name given to unresolved issues, and the only way to access them is through meditation. If there is something, some trouble, or some problem that is associated with the past, then we return to the primary source from whence it originated. Because we can keep attempting to find a solution to the problem, but unless we get to its foundation, we won’t be able to find one. It is impossible to find a solution to a problem unless one first traces it back to its root cause.

For instance, if there is an unpleasant plant and we continue to cut the branches and the leaves in an effort to get rid of the weed, we will find that more and more branches and leaves are growing in their place to replace the ones that we have removed. We need to get down into the roots of the weed and pull them out completely if we want to get rid of the weed for good.
The only way to fully comprehend this concept is to transport yourself back in time to those final seconds, to the precise moment when a soul departs from its physical body. From there, you must go even further back in time to determine how many lives a soul has lived.

All of those memories never become stale and never lose their connection to the soul and the conscious mind, but they do lose that connection with the body and the conscious mind.

We ought to put all of this to the test using case studies taken from real-life situations so that it may be consolidated into real truths. When it comes to this method, we should begin by cross-verifying it with people who have gone through the process of past life regression, and then we should verify its causes and consequences in the horoscope by analysing all four types of karmas.

When we go through such a procedure, we are better able to comprehend and compare it to the actual torment and suffering that anyone experiences in this birth as a direct result of their sins and wrongdoings in previous lives. In this section, I will show how we might have a better understanding of the process of past birth incarnation by evaluating a real-life case of past happenings uncovered by both ways. This case will be taken from the past. The most essential component is having a solid understanding of former lives as well as the nature of the regression process itself.

According to contemporary belief, what exactly is regression to a previous life?

Prati-Prasav is a process, and it has previously been explained that this process involves the soul going back and forth between the conscious mind and the sub-conscious mind in order to get to its root point. However, the process itself involves many other processes. Hypnosis is employed during the process of past-life regression therapy, which aims to elicit memories of a person’s previous incarnations or lives.

In most cases, people engage in the practise of past-life regression either in the hope of having a spiritual awakening or within the context of psychological treatment. The Upanishads, which are part of the canon of ancient Indian literature, include reference to past-life regression; however, Patajali’s Yoga Sutras provide a more in-depth examination of the topic. Patajali, a Hindu scholar, penned a text in the second century B.C. that described the concept of the soul becoming burdened with an accumulation of impressions as a component of the karma from previous lives.

Maharishi Patajali referred to the act of regressing to a prior life as prati-prasav, which literally translates to “reverse birthing.” He saw it as a way to solve present-day issues by recalling experiences from previous lifetimes. There are still schools of yoga that use prati-prasav as a method of practise.

It is important to do past life regression because it is the only way to cleanse or heal painful events from previous lifetimes, which, if not addressed, might prevent us from fully actualizing ourselves in this life and/or cause us distress. Activating creativity or a useful ability that has been actively displayed in a previous life but has stayed dormant or unrecognised in this incarnation is another benefit of past life regression therapy.

 

Some of the following are included in the list of benefits of past life regression and Past Life Astrology :

1) The healing of overt deeds (the past-life self acting more as the offender than the victim in these incidents).
2) Engaging one’s creative side
3) Acquire an understanding of the factors that contribute to unreasonable concerns and the ability to overcome these anxieties.
4) Having a happy and successful life gives you a sense of calm and inspires you to persevere when confronted with momentary challenges.
5) Getting in touch with the wisdom of your higher self
6) The recovery from and purging of traumatic experiences
7) Having an understanding of the relationships between things and the patterns of action that are repeated
8) It enlightens you about who you are and the reason you were put on this earth in the first place.
9) Freeing oneself from oaths and curses imposed during a previous incarnation
10) It assists you in reconstructing your understanding of your current life in light of the events that occurred in earlier incarnations of yourself.
11) Realising that death is not a threat and that you would not be permanently separated from loved ones but would instead only go to a new location is helpful in reducing anxiety.
12) It can help you overcome addictions such as drinking too much alcohol or smoking cigarettes.Enhances the perception of the spiritual aspect of our existence and its implications. Contracts from previous lives being rewritten

What is reincarnation  ?

According to the concept of reincarnation, we must through a series of incarnations in order to reach our full potential as spiritual beings and hence must endure multiple lifetimes. The soul is immortal and does not perish; we just temporarily house it in our bodies.

The soul has existed across a great number of lifetimes. When we are born, our soul brings with it all of the experience, knowledge, and karma that it has accumulated throughout the course of previous lives. The vast lineage of our ancestors’ experiences in prior lives is the source of the attributes that we manifest in this one.

The memories of earlier incarnations are preserved at the level of the soul, and it is not possible to retrieve them at the conscious level. Participating in a past-life regression session is the most straightforward approach to learning about and having an experience of a previous incarnation.

Understanding Native Past Life Astrology Events and Past life regression process Astrologically 

Case Study: Beginning of Situation and Problems: Deep Rooted Past Karmic Results of Native as Explained Astrologically:

Presented here is an authentic case study involving an individual personally acquainted with the author, whose personal name will remain undisclosed. The individual in question underwent past-life regression therapy in response to the occurrence of unforeseen painful circumstances subsequent to their marriage during the years 2008-2009.

The present inquiry pertains to the causal factors underlying the sequence of events subsequent to the act of matrimony.

 

Before Moving forward we need to understand few astrological pointers to decipher past life  astrology clues :

 

1. Any planetary placement in the natal chart sheds light on the prarabdha and pending karma that are associated with the corresponding house. It’s only a sketch of your history, showing how Prarabdha and Rina were tied to that living creature and the house. God has a plan for you when you are born into this world, and one of those plans is for you to either realise the prarabha, liberate yourself, or achieve moksha. However, only a yogi has the ability to free themselves from the bonds of their karma. What about the average member of the human race?
2. The second reason for this is that you are obligated to provide or do seva with regard to the bhava in question and any living creature that is considered to be a member of mankind. In layman’s terms, the second type of karma is known as your punya karma, which refers to your good deeds in the here and now. The consequence of that punya, which you will receive in your subsequent birth, is that only God knows what he has in store for you. Simply said, it is to carry out the obligation or duty that has been entrusted to you for the sake of a greater cause or to take part in the activities associated with that divine cause.
3. To understand astrology, readers should focus on the basic fundamentals in Jyotish, i.e., 9th is the bhagya, fortune, and root connection with any house; 4th shows it happiness, Mood & content nature  – good or bad it all depends how well any house is placed 4th from any bhava, it is the storage house of any  bhava that impacts your mind, happiness and mood ; 5th shows its purva punya; 7th shows its complement or completeness or an added part to it that helps to grow; 8th from any bhava shows its length or longevity; debts or missing dots; and 10th from any bhava shows karmic actions to any bhava.
4. The 6th, 8th, and 12th lords ( Moksha Trikona) in natal charts reveal what you have inherited from the past, as well as what you have done and what you have left behind as in karmic state. The sixth house and its lord are concerned with the deeds, both good and evil, that resulted from your actions in the past. In your current birth, the sixth house reveals the service that you are obligated to perform for any given cause, its your house of action to the past life that is seen from 9th house that shows many karmic journeys of past life native has gone through.
5. Same way Sagittarius sign, Retrograde Jupiter &  9th house shows root issues of past life that bind soul from many life journeys.
6. The 9th house, also known as the “Blessings of the Past and New Life Mission of the Present” house, represents what you already have done. Happy fruits from the past, which are the Dharama you have done in the past and received from the Dharama master ( Teacher and your Father ) , are the same Dharma that you have to spread again. It’s your sanchit karma, so deal with it. You must also give to others in order to maintain the temple in which you currently worship. It’s the blessings you received in the past that you now have a responsibility to bestow upon others in the same way. You have an obligation to keep the promise that the Guru made to you in the distant past.
7. The 12th House, often known as the Root House of the Past Karmas, Storage of the karma, Subconscious part of the  life that is hidden in nature, ones private life that is connected with sleep and subconscious mind which is fourth from the ninth is the twelfth, which is the Rina of the Past or any debt that you have to exhaust in this life by giving it to the person with whom you are associated in current life : Indicative of You are required to give back what you taken from someone in the past to the same person from whom you was associated. It’s like going back in time to the house of debts. It’s the one that causes the most trouble. It is the domain of settling old obligations from the past. Reason being our mind is the storage house of all the seen and unseen karmic actions  that’s why moon bring back all the karmic actions of past and is deeply connected with out present life.
8. 10th place from 9th is 6th, hence this is the 6th house. (Deeds Committed in the Past): This is what you did in the past, and in the same way, you have to examine the causes and ramifications of those actions in this incarnation of yourself. You will now witness the results of your actions. It comes down to Karma from the Past vs Karma from the Current Birth. It is your prardbha; it cannot be undone; it must pay back with the same degree of ferocity and anguish as it originally caused.
9. 8th House: The Root Cause of Rebirth is located in the 8th House (12th from 9th). This indicates that whatever you have left to do, you need to complete it right away. Unfinished Business that needs to be paid back. The same manner you bring about the downfall of others and the suffering that comes along with it, you will also have to experience the downfall of your own. It’s Tat for Tat at this point. The same way that you transform other people is the same way that you see your own transformations occurring via the experiences and challenges that you go through in life.
10. 5th House: 9th from 9th is 5th (Learning of Pasts- Poorva Punya Karma ): This represents what you have learnt in the past that you are responsible for passing on to other people and teaching them. It’s your Sanchita, it’s your Dharma, and it’s the results of what you’ve done in the past in the form of good deeds in many past journies of life.
11.  Retrograde planets in the chart shows what that burning desire, wish, or unfinished karma is that the native wants to complete in this life; house placements show the area of that desire or karma.
12.  Retrograde Jupiter shows past life native experiences, all sorts of environments, and everything about the past when you regress it back, whereas direct motion shows about these life native actions.
13. . Saturn is all about your total karma and shows relationships with actions of past, present & future life.
14.  Ketu is all about what you have already learnt, exhausted, and experienced in a past incarnation, while Rahu is all about what natives want to experience, which is burning in current life because of unfinished business and karmic leftovers. Both Rahu and Ketu show burning desires from a previous existence. Because of this, everything that we try to learn and experience in this revolves around on the karmic punishment that a native has to go through when nodes afflict any bhava or planet in natal chat. This is the reason why this is the case of current life leftovers and burning desires that one need to counter in any case.

I hope that these astrological hints will be sufficient for you to investigate past life travels in the subsequent section so that you can learn at your own pace and use what you’ve learned. Take a left turn, proceed further, and attempt to decipher the native life experiences and challenges.

Beginning of Native Life experiences : Exploring Past life

In the early stages of his life and trajectory, an individual embarked upon a career in the Merchant Navy. The individual embarked on a journey that spanned numerous nations, allowing for the exploration of various locales, encounters with diverse individuals, and exposure to a multitude of cultures and traditions.

Additionally, they had the opportunity to sojourn in numerous hotels and opulent establishments, indulging in various luxuries and living a life of regal splendour, thereby deriving immense satisfaction from their experiences.

However, one must inquire as to why he had significant hardships in the latter stages of his life, particularly following his marriage, while possessing the aforementioned attribute. The intensity of anguish and the strain on the individual’s psyche has been so overwhelming that they have thus far been incapable of effectively managing or enduring it.

Let us commence the process of deciphering the information gradually, based on the events and occurrences that were conveyed to me in a native manner.

Early Native Early Life experiences  (the years 2002 to 2008)

Native was a student who performed about average in his classes, but he had an excellent and sharp memory that enabled him to solve difficult puzzles and technical scenarios in any live sailing with his presence of mind. During the course of his professional journeys as a Marchant Navy Sailor, that native explained to me that he has to experience many difficult life-threatening challenges during difficult and critical situations when it was a matter of life and death in front of native decision-making.

Life started taking a sudden bend after the start of Mars Mahadasha in 2002, native left his studies in the middle of their completion and joined the Merchant Navy, where he started his journey through the oceans and visited many countries for his professional pursuits.

Everything was going well after 2002 onward (after the beginning of his mars dasha), long journeys travelling and comfortable life ( that one can see via the exchange of  7th and 10th lord , moon & Mars  and both are in moveable signs )  but suddenly there was a major shift or change in his destiny and there was a triggered change in his life.

It was the time of Prarbadha—karma of the past life—came into the picture in native life when the native marriage ceremony got fixed on September 10, 2008. Soon after the month, problems started cropping up in their marriage life; day-to-day issues started triggering, and there were tones of heated arguments that started getting ignited like a fiery flame in their marriage life, which even led to physical violence and abuse between the couples.

Before the marriage instance happened to take place, I was planning to leave my hometown for New Delhi to join my new office in the first month of October 2008. Before leaving, I had clearly warned the native about his upcoming marriage life events, saying that he needs to be cautious in his marriage as it can be very fatal for him and it can take the shape of a war zone like Mahabharata between two families after October 2008 to December 2008, and maybe the situation can become worse soon after, which can lead to legal separation and harassment from police or government authorities.

My calculations and observations lead me to believe that both partners may have already parted ways prior to the start of 2009, and that they have not gotten back together to form a family unit since that time. After walking away from the relationship in the middle of its course, the native may be able to resume his life as a sailor sometime after February 2009; however, the likelihood of this happening is so remote that the native may never return to his home country to pursue the resumption of his marriage.

At that time, Native expressed his appreciation for all of my guidance and suggestions, and he gave me his word that he would adhere to all of my recommendations with complete commitment. I advised him that he should make every effort to steer clear of situations that have the potential to make his married life a shambles in the future.

 

The Destiny Point of Past Life : The Point when Prarbadha Karama Triggered

But fate is fate, and Prabhadha Karama fulfilled its function in the lives of the natives. A major argument that broke out between two different couples in the month of October in the year 2008 was the spark that started a dispute that grew like a ferocious snake and ultimately resulted in both physical and verbal abuse between the different couples.

It was like a daily routine for both of them, and there was no hope seen between them, which might have been when it could stop. The entire family went through trauma as a result of the ongoing physical violence and abuse that was taking place between the couples. The verbal and physical altercations could not be avoided or stopped in any way. There was never a moment in time when harmony prevailed among the members of the family.

 

After Marriage: The Experience of Prarabhda Karma, or “The Reaping of the Fruits”

 

The family lives of both couples were severely disrupted up until December 2008, but on the first day of February 2009, the situation between them reached a new level of insanity and took on a more serious form. It was very difficult for the native to avoid experiencing such mental anguish while still married, so he made the difficult decision to leave his spouse and move on to join the ship in order to put an end to all of the suffering he had been going through in the middle of his life.

Date of Occurrence: Karma Was Activated

The prophecy was fulfilled: Because of all the frustrations and suffering that were triggered in Native’s marriage life shortly after the ceremony, he made the decision to leave his spouse and join Ship in the middle of his journey in February 2009 so that he could continue on with his journey. However, time has determined another aspect of native life, and that is the ultimate fate of both of the couples who are still to come. After deserting the spouse in the middle of the act, it was now time to endure suffering for the indigenous family as well.

As a means of exacting revenge on the native family and his conduct towards her husband, the native spouse came to the conclusion that she would, with the assistance of his brother, bring a legal action against the entire family, accusing them of dowry abuse and physical violence. Within a few days, the police took action against the native family, and they began harassing the family members one at a time as if they had a personal grudge against them. This harassment extended to my closest friend, who was the younger brother of the native and had no part in the relationship mess.

What do we call it when we have a more in-depth understanding of it?

What was the error that he made?

Even though he had nothing to do with creating the mess, he was still made to endure all of this suffering and dishonor.

Is this not the result of his previous karmas or the deeds he committed in a previous life?

Think about it in great detail.

The process of torturing a native family by members of the police department continued to escalate on a daily basis, leaving the entire family in a state of great trauma and shock. In the meantime, a court case was opened against members of the family, and the issues flared up like a blazing spark.

There was no way to comprehend the predicament or identify the nature of the events that were taking place to them. The members of the family were all in a state of shock, and there was no information or course of action that they could take for themselves at this point.

My friend would frequently come to me with questions such as, “Why did everything start going wrong all of a sudden, and they had no choices left for them? ”

“What would be the deepest reason to think further about it, why, and how everything was happening with them without their fault?”, and

“What would be the deepest reason to think further about it, why, and how everything was happening with them without their fault?”

While the members of the family were going through the tormenting phase as a result of the spouse’s personal matter of revenge and unethical behaviour towards them, the police department further began doing their extra-threatening work in order to create a situation or environment of fear among the whole family.

This was accomplished with the assistance of an extra push given by the spouse’s elder brother, who was also an on-duty senior police officer but was posted in some other location. Native professional life had reached a point where there was no way forward while family members were preoccupied with the court case and police actions. Because the visa was going to be revoked in a matter of weeks, the native was required to renew it at any cost in order to continue working in the country.

But what exactly is it about his life that is a secret ?

Absolutely no one can be aware of it !

The native felt as though everything in his life was caught in the middle, with no way to move forward, and he was in a condition in which he had no choice left to do anything with the assistance of members in authority; it more closely resembled a situation in which he had nothing in hand.

The New Phase of Life, Unfolding Past life Astrology : Beginning of Rahu Dasha in 2009

 

Finally, with the beginning of the first phase (Rahu PD) in Rahu Mahadasha approximately in December 2009, the native was forced to leave his ship because he was unsuccessful in renewing the visa and passport in time due to some financial and unknown reasons (Rahu in the Bhadhak Sthan in the 11th house conjoined with 5th Lord Saturn and 3rd Lord Jupiter).

He decided further that he should move back to India for some relief and take help from his brother for some Once more, the hand of fate was at work not long after the event described above. Because the native was absent from all of the court hearings for an entire year, the case took on a very dangerous tone during that time. This was due to the fact that the native was not present for any of the hearings during that time.

The court reached a decision and declared him a fugitive; as a result, he will be required to serve a sentence or make an appearance in court for further clarification and penalties whenever and wherever he will be seen or found in India.

The native was once again thrown into a state of shock as a result of the decision made by the court. In the deep dilemmas of his life, where one must think deeply and he is left with no clue in his hand, it was more like a state of zero, and every corner was seen as the dark side of life. In this situation, one has no other choice but to think about what to do next, where to go, and how to proceed in life in a better way.

Native made the decision to remain on the opposite side of India, and he began living with the sister of his cousin. He also frequently used to live with his friend. The native’s primary preoccupation was finding a way to secure both his professional and financial futures, as he was actively seeking out a variety of employment opportunities that he was qualified for.

During this time, Native made the decision to renew his passport and visa in India; however, once again, the dots of his destiny and Prarabdha played their roles, and he ended up losing his passport in a sense; no one is sure where he left it all. It was yet another setback and a startling realisation for him at that moment. Because of this, he was completely perplexed about what action to take next.

Native was trying very hard to approach some of his friends for assistance, for the purpose of obtaining any links or clues to get settled in India; however, his friends’ behaviour was a bit unusual and different towards him, and Native felt cheated from his inner core by those whom once looked very needy to get jobs in the Merchant Navy sector;

Native had always forwarded his hands in their hard times and given them as much as helping hands, like when you feel like an angel appears suddenly in a situation in which you are struggling; But in this scenario, things were a little bit different; friends were more likely to appear to be enemies, or it can be said that they were acting like devils in darkness, appearing as though they were wearing a devil advocate coat with a friendly face. They did not offer any assistance to him and flatly refused to do so, acting in accordance with the double standard that is typically upheld by society in times of crisis.

In the meantime, when I returned to my hometown after being away for a few months, my native brother approached me and continued to contact me in order to explain his entire mystery, which was the story of various traumas and shocks that had occurred to members of their family.

 

After hearing what he had to say, I made the decision to offer him some Vedic suggestions, and I advised the native to adhere to all of these suggestions with the utmost diligence in order to reach Lord Shiva.

 

After using the remedies for a number of months, his entire outlook and perception of living life like a king shifted into the path of severe spiritualism, and he experienced a significant personal transformation as a result.

 

Failures and self-desires brought about significant growth in him. native began practising intense worship of Lord Shiva, which resulted in a complete transformation of his subconscious mind and bestowed upon him a refocused perspective on his life, including his finances, his family, his wealth, and his relationships. That moment (the activation of the Atma Karka Graha) served as the turning point in his life for self-awareness.

The beginning of Accumulated Karamas – The Sanchit Karama ( Good deeds- The Fruits of Life)

Now, here is the picture of a native good Sanchit Karama who, for some reason, was able to make a new passport and got a new job in another country, but in the marketing and sales sector of that country. After many months and years of hard work, he was happy to receive this new surprise in his life. Despite the fact that he did not choose his work, he was happy to receive it.

Native was bringing in lakhs every month thanks to his work in the Merchant Navy. Here, Native started his career path again, but this time from the ground up, and began earning thousands of dollars so that he could begin his new life with a newfound sense of hope. In the meantime, the legal proceeding was also taking place in India, and the brother was managing it in some way with a good strategy. On numerous occasions, natives have inquired as to why everything is taking place to him and his family, including his personal and professional lives, and what caused it to take place.

My response has been the same from the beginning: there has been no change in it; it is all due to the Prarabdha Karama of the previous life that one must suffer either in this birth or possibly in the next birth. In any event, one is required to use up all of their karma. In addition to this, it is recommended that natives go through the process of past-life regression therapy with knowledgeable spiritual masters who are working in their profession with integrity. In accordance with the recommendation, Native participated in a session of past-life regression therapy in New Delhi with a knowledgeable master.

It was more like a ray of hope to resolve his case now that things were clearer to me after studying the process of the native’s past life regression therapy. Just as we see a bright light emerging out of the dark and dense clouds, this was like a ray of hope to resolve his case. The findings have a profound impact on me, and it is extremely challenging for me to accept them as true and make sense of them.

Later, when I tried to evaluate the same with a native horoscope, I was feeling quite amazed and surprised by the brilliance of the astrological principles, and the results gave me the assurance and authenticity of the sutras—how the Nadi Jyotish and Jamini Sutra concepts are so precious and accurate, and how well they are explaining the whole process of past birth karmas.

I was feeling quite amazed and surprised by the brilliance of the astrological principles. Once more, Shows, After analysing the entire situation of the chart, I discovered that our sages were never wrong in any of their theories or sutras for explaining its essence. This is something that I learned, and after doing so, I am now pretty sure about both the fact that it is true and how brilliantly Vedic astrology will be at that time.

Conclusion:

The entirety of the information necessary for you to understand native Karmic life issues, which I detailed in Part 1 together with occurrences from native life, has finally been presented. In the second half, we will investigate how we might determine the timing of these events, as well as the fundamentals of Jamini, Nadi, and Vedic astrological principles. In addition, we will explore more on past life regression and its connection with the past life astrology. Stay connected, never stop learning, and never stop sharing for the sake of people’s spiritual awareness and to grasp deeper links between unresolved mysteries and the karmic obstacles of life that can be tough to believe and find resolutions for. People are able to gain a deeper understanding of the profound mysteries of life by consulting the Bhagavad Gita, engaging in past life astrology, and engaging in past life regression. In the context of contemporary life, those are things that are difficult to believe and process, but once individuals study and understand them with an open mind, they are able to grasp the true meaning of what they are saying. I have high hopes that some of life’s most fundamental karmic secrets may become clearer to you as a result of reading this article.

The Saturn, Sadesati and Lord of Karma in Vedic Astrology : Comprehensive Therapeutic Guide of Saturn – Part 1

Introduction

Saturn occupies a significant position in Vedic astrology, being recognised as a highly potent and prominent celestial body. Referred to as ‘Shani’ in the Sanskrit language, this celestial body is commonly linked to the principles of discipline, diligent effort, and the acquisition of karmic wisdom. The celestial trajectory of Saturn within the zodiac is meticulously observed due to its profound influence on all facets of human existence, encompassing domains such as professional pursuits and interpersonal connections. The ‘Sadesati’ period, a widely discussed phenomenon associated with Saturn, is said to be characterised by notable transformations and obstacles.

The mythology of Sadesati is centred on the notion that during the transit of Saturn through the twelfth, first, and second houses of an individual’s moon sign, a significant time of profound change may occur. The duration of this phenomenon is commonly estimated to be approximately seven and a half years, during which it is believed to evaluate an individual’s fortitude, endurance, and adaptability.

The Impact of Sadesati on Human Life

During the Sadesati phase, individuals may encounter challenges, interruptions, and hindrances in diverse domains of life. Nevertheless, it is crucial to bear in mind that this particular timeframe has both positive and negative aspects. This experience presents an opportunity for personal development, introspection, and acquisition of significant life knowledge.

From a psychological perspective, Sadesati has the potential to compel individuals to confront their fears, address their deficiencies, and cultivate inner resilience. The process has the potential to facilitate a profound metamorphosis and enable individuals to liberate themselves from constricting beliefs and attitudes. Numerous individuals who have experienced the astrological phenomenon known as Sadesati have attested to the occurrence of heightened levels of maturity, emotional stability, and a reinforced sense of self.

Exploring the Sadesati Expedition

Although the Sadesati era may appear intimidating, it is crucial to approach this phase with a positive outlook and a mindset focused on personal development. Instead of harbouring anxiety towards the various problems that arise, it is more beneficial to perceive them as occasions for personal and spiritual growth. The following are few strategies for effectively navigating the Sadesati period:

• Engage in the practise of self-care, which involves attending to one’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
• Participate in endeavours that elicit feelings of happiness and contribute to your state of relaxation.
• Maintain a sense of practicality and realism. In order to foster a sense of connection with one’s inner self and uphold emotional equilibrium, it is advisable to engage in a regular practise of meditation or mindfulness.
• Request guidance: Engage in consultation with a proficient astrologer who possesses expertise in interpreting individual birth charts and discerning the prevailing astrological influences.
• It is vital to adopt a receptive attitude towards change.
• It is important to have a mindset that is receptive to change and adaptable in nature.
• It is important to acknowledge that change is an inherent aspect of human existence and has the potential to engender novel prospects and personal development.
• Evolve self learning, Spiritual evolution and Living life down to earth.

It is important to note that the impact of Saturn and Sadesati should be viewed as a mechanism for fostering individual development, rather than a form of retribution. Through a comprehensive comprehension of the historical narratives and a wholehearted acceptance of the transformative process, individuals can effectively navigate this temporal phase with elegance and ultimately emerge fortified and more resilient than ever before.

So , lets explore the journey of understanding Saturn and effect of sadesati on human life.

What is the definition of Karma’s and Role of Saturn ?

In accordance with Hinduism, the concept of divine fairness posits that God grants mankind the capacity to exercise free will in their choices between virtuous and malevolent actions. Consequently, the outcome of an individual’s actions is contingent upon the moral quality of their decision-making. Furthermore, it is believed that the collective choices made by humanity collectively contribute to the shaping of their hidden destinies. In this context, we are discussing the Karmas that pertain to our daily lives.

These Karmas are associated with the 3rd house from the 4th house, the 6th house, and the 6th lord. They arise from our ideas and are manifested through practical actions in the 10th house. Importantly, these Karmas are within the realm of our conscious mind and can be freely undertaken by ourselves.

In the realm of general practise, it is commonly seen that the examination of stored desires can be accomplished by examining the natural Karka sign, Aquarius, as well as the 4th house, which represents the Karka of the mind. By doing so, valuable insights can be gained into the potential outcomes of one’s Karmas, whether they be positive or negative, in subsequent births, based on their past actions.

Karma serves as the catalyst for the whole sequence of cause and effect, commonly referred to as Sansara-Venus (Maya). In order to achieve moksha (salvation), one must first deplete the entirety of their accumulated karmas, known as Pra-rabdha, by fully experiencing their consequences.

The concept of karma might be likened to that of a seed, as it often does not yield instant results upon its initial planting.

The generation of several karmic seeds is facilitated by our own acts, encompassing speech, thoughts, and deeds. Consequently, it is imperative to examine the comprehensive chart in its entirety. The examination of the tenth house from Mercury reveals the influence of our speech and conscious mind on our acts. Specifically, if the tenth house from Mercury is occupied by Mars, it may result in a speaker who is harsh or displays arrogance and rudeness. Thus, our speech is intricately connected to our karmic actions, either directly or indirectly. In the context of astrological beliefs, it is posited that the influence of Jupiter, when positioned as the 10th celestial body from the Moon, may engender individuals who exhibit virtuous qualities, possess healing abilities, demonstrate profound contemplation, exhibit extensive knowledge, or serve as spiritual catalysts. This influence is believed to directly impact the cognitive processes of the individual in question, as well as those in their immediate vicinity.

Saturn, Karma and Bhagwat Geeta 

According to the Bhagavad Gita, the road of action, also known as karma, is described as enigmatic, and the Law of Karma is deemed unfathomable. Determining the specific karmic factors that contribute to the development of cancer, as well as discerning whether the consumption of a particular fruit is the consequence of a singular karmic action or a confluence of multiple karmic actions, presents a challenging endeavour. Determining the origin of the fruit that one presently derives pleasure from poses a challenge, ascertaining whether it is a result of the karma accumulated in the present lifetime or a consequence of past-life karmas, namely the Sanchita karma.

Under appropriate conditions, karmas that have reached maturity have the potential to yield outcomes during the same lifetime.

Karma is a philosophical concept that encompasses the principle of cause and effect, wherein actions and reactions are believed to have a direct correlation. It is often associated with notions of cosmic justice and individual accountability. The concept of cause and effect, also known as the law of sowing and reaping, operates in a rational manner whereby the outcomes one experiences are directly proportional and accurately determined, as administered by a higher power in accordance with cosmic rules. Karma can be likened to the laws of gravity in terms of predictability, as it posits that the consequences one experiences are a direct outcome of their actions towards others.

The individual who inflicts harm upon others will inevitably experience harm upon themselves at a later point in time. The Law of Karma include a crucial and inherently uncertain element known as the “delivery” or repercussions, which are under the authority of a higher power.

The concept of karma initiates the propulsion of an individual’s soul on a personal odyssey across the expanse of the universe. The concept of karma culminates when an individual attains mastery in the practise of performing actions without attachment or desire, solely in a selfless manner.

The Bhagwad Geeta elucidates that the attainment of detachment from the fruits of one’s actions, known as Karma-phala, can be achieved via the diligent pursuit of self-improvement along the path to the Divine. This involves the practise of diverse yogic disciplines.

In the course of our daily existence, Lord Shani Dev vigilantly observes our accumulated and ongoing actions, enabling us to comprehend the true nature of our actions and their significant impact on our life. The cumulative result of an individual’s four karmas determines their birth, as each person is born depending on the totality of their collected karmas. If an individual has accumulated negative prarabdha (karma from former lives), they are always bound to experience its consequences in each subsequent birth, as this outcome is solely determined by the volition of the divine entity.

When the obligation to repay arises, it becomes imperative to acknowledge this responsibility. However, it is possible to rationalise these debts by engaging in virtuous actions throughout our continuous existence. The positive karma of an individual has the potential to counteract and neutralise the negative karma of another individual. The 10th house is considered the primary source of all ongoing karmic activities, and Lord Saturn has significant importance in comprehending many aspects of karma in an individual’s life.

From an astrological standpoint, it is recommended to examine the 10th house relative to Saturn in order to gain insight into the various acts we engage in during our daily routines. These actions encompass a wide range of emotions and inclinations, such as want, aversion, love, hatred, and happiness, occurring on a continuous basis throughout each moment or second. The presence of benefic or malefic influences in the 10th house relative to Saturn is likely to provide either favourable or negative outcomes, depending on the inherent character of the actions or Karama. These consequences may manifest in the present lifetime or perhaps in a subsequent lifetime. The fourth house and moon are influential in generating wishes for karmas, whereas the actual execution of these wants is contingent upon the tenth house.

Prior to delving into the subject matter, it is imperative to have a comprehensive understanding of the entity known as Shani-Dev and the manner in which this entity harmonises and regulates the karmic deeds inside the life of an individual.

Saturn, known as Shani or Shana-ish-chara in Sanskrit, is referred to as the sluggish mover or the Manda Gati. It is also denoted by the term Shane-Shane, which signifies its characteristic of moving at a leisurely pace. From an astronomical perspective, it is noteworthy that among the celestial bodies, Saturn possesses the unique characteristic of exhibiting an extended duration within a given zodiac sign due to its comparatively sluggish motion. This phenomenon is attributed to the fact that Saturn requires around two and a half years to traverse a single zodiacal sign or progress through each constellation within the sidereal zodiac.

According to the Linga Purana, Lord Shani-Dev (Saturn) is said to have originated from Rudra, the solar deity. According to the Markandeya Purana, Saturn is described as the offspring of the sun god and his consort, Chaya, who is symbolically associated with the concept of shadow. The chilly and arid nature of Saturn can be attributed to its deep core structure. The individual possesses an inherent purity and satwik disposition inside, however in the context of Jyotish terminology, their external demeanour is characterised as tamasik, exhibiting forthrightness and a propensity for anger.

The individual’s sluggishness is commonly seen as lethargy, although a closer examination reveals that this perception does not align with the true nature of his condition. The individual’s leisurely pace contributes to a prolonged journey towards the intended goal, which is also notable for its rich historical background. Additionally, the protagonist’s association with Sandhya, his maternal figure, bestows upon him the attributes of wisdom and advanced age. The individual’s visual acuity is regarded as impaired, and he is reputed to possess a malevolent nature, albeit exclusively towards individuals engaged in or associated with negative karmic deeds across multiple lifetimes.

The Significance of Astrology

According to popular belief, Saturn is often associated with the potential destruction of the house it influences. However, in reality, Saturn primarily presents challenges in relation to the specific house it affects. The outcome varies depending on factors such as the placement of Saturn in a malefic or enemy sign, with the exception being the seventh house where Saturn can bring positive outcomes due to its directional strength. Conversely, when Saturn is positioned in a friendly or neutral sign, it has the tendency to enhance the qualities of the house it influences. The results also differ based on whether Saturn aspects or conjoins with other signs and houses. When Saturn is well placed, it bestows individuals with qualities such as integrity, wisdom, spirituality, fame, patience, leadership abilities, authority, longevity, organisational skills, sincerity, honesty, a sense of justice, and a keen awareness of moral principles.

When Saturn is positioned unfavourably in relation to a hostile celestial body or within a dwelling where the strength of Ashtakavrga is diminished, it has the potential to manifest various adversities for the individual, including but not limited to, personal distress, sorrow, delays, hindrances, disappointments, conflicts, despondency, and challenges. However, it is important to note that these difficulties may serve as valuable lessons pertaining to the specific house in question, allowing for the filtration of karmic seeds. Individuals influenced by Saturn tend to exhibit defensive tendencies, nervousness, and a proclivity for secrecy, yet they also possess commendable qualities such as honesty, responsibility, and loyalty. In the realm of worldly affairs, Saturn governs the western direction, Saturday is designated as its day, black is its associated colour, and the blue sapphire gemstone is attributed to Saturn. In the realm of Vedic numerology, Saturn holds dominion over the number 8.

In order to have a comprehensive comprehension of the various facets of Saturn, it is imperative to delve into the philosophical underpinnings and contextual backdrop associated with the archetype of a teacher or a stringent mentor.

Fundamentals Principals of Saturn Aspects 

The following discourse elucidates the astrological and philosophical significance of the four esteemed mantras associated with Lord Saturn :

1) The Influence of Saturn in a Specific House ( Saturn Placement Effect ) : In this context, Saturn serves as a guiding force, emphasizing the importance of practicality. It encourages individuals to embrace authenticity, loyalty, and honesty, while also emphasizing the need for self-identification within the natural order. Saturn typically diminishes negative qualities and associated characteristics within the house it occupies (for instance, if located in the 8th house, it may promote spiritual growth and alleviate fears, concerns about mortality, sexuality, and losses related to that particular house). Through this transformative process, Saturn facilitates the cultivation of positivity, infusing enthusiasm and imparting profound realization’s. By rectifying past mistakes and errors through the application of wisdom gained from previous experiences, Saturn acts as a catalyst for personal growth and rejuvenation, ultimately shaping a more favourable future trajectory. In essence, Saturn assumes the role of a trailblazer, purging the house of all negativity.

2) Saturn Direct Aspect (Lifelong Challenges): Be Prepared for Open Challenges: Here Saturn gives an equally challenging environment and opponents who can test your abilities and patience where it directly aspects, and it keeps pointing you to prepare yourself for your whole life for these open challenges. Here, Saturnine energy is directing you. Hey you! You are weak and not prepared for future life actions, and you need to work hard in this area as you lack the required energy for betterment. He is suggesting you never take a back step, never fear; you have to accept it in any case, and you have to face this challenge in your whole life unless you never become balanced and perfect, which you are feeling you can’t face in a long race. Here, Saturn is teaching you to rise as a winner. Never neglect your responsibilities; prioritise them and work hard on them. This is your open challenge area for your whole life and an important part of it. Don’t ignore it; prepare yourself and make it better for your future path.

3) Saturn 3rd House Aspect  ( Test of Courage, willpower and Free will ) :  The third aspect of Saturn presents individuals with challenging tasks and demanding environments that they must confront in various situations. Saturn aims to test one’s courage, willpower, and mental resilience by consistently directing them towards tasks that necessitate boldness. This metaphorical representation prompts individuals to question whether they possess the necessary attributes to fearlessly complete the tasks they perceive as insurmountable. Saturn serves as a teacher, urging individuals to eliminate the notion of “no” from their vocabulary and instead rely on their willpower and courage to overcome any obstacles associated with the specific house and sign. The lesson is to boldly and promptly finish tasks without succumbing to fear or procrastination.

4) Saturn 10th Aspect ( What need to be done, rightful karma and actions in society ) :  Saturn’s 10th Aspect, also known as the Ultimate Goal, pertains to the notion that work is akin to a workshop that presents challenges. It involves recognizing that life is not solely about enjoyment, but rather about striving to achieve higher goals that are bestowed upon individuals by a higher power in each successive birth. This process entails evolving and progressing towards these goals amidst openly challenging circumstances and interactions with negative individuals. These challenges may arise from the environment or society, manifesting in the form of opposition to one’s endeavours. Consequently, Saturn advises individuals to utilise these adversities as opportunities for growth and to intelligently navigate encounters with those who consistently oppose their work. Society, in this context, is viewed as a catalyst for personal development, urging individuals to tap into the gifts bestowed upon them and employ them effectively. By doing so, individuals can elevate themselves with the aid of their unwavering spirit.

The study of Saturn historically as depicted in Vedic/Puranic scriptures

Scriptural Reference from Puranas  

Based on ancient legends and scriptural accounts, Saturn is believed to have been born to Sun and Chaya, also known as Swarna. It is said that during the moment of Saturn’s birth, the Sun experienced a profound illness as a result of the inauspicious aspect of Saturn’s gaze. Consequently, a longstanding conflict has persisted between the father and son, as symbolised by the Sun-Saturn Aspect.

According to several Hindu Puranas, Shani is regarded as the progeny of Surya, the solar deity, and Chhaya, symbolising gloom. Yamaraj is identified as Shani’s sibling, while Yamuna is recognised as his sister. Shani’s hue is associated with Indraneel Mani, sometimes referred to as Neelam, which corresponds to the colour blue sapphire.

Numerous narratives exist pertaining to the origin of Shani Dev. The most widely acknowledged account is found within the ancient text known as the ‘Skanda Purana’. According to one particular rendition, the birth of Shani Dev unfolds as follows: The deity Surya was united in matrimony with Sandhya, the daughter of the divine architect Vishwakarma.

Sandhya’s inability to tolerate the luminosity emitted by the deity Surya led her to believe that through perseverance, she could enhance her own brilliance. Alternatively, she entertained the notion that her penance could diminish the overwhelming radiance of Surya. It is important to note that Sandhya worshipped Surya as her spouse, and it was through divine intervention that they were blessed with three offspring: Vaivastahva Manu, Yama Raj, and Yamuna. Despite her deep affection for her children, Sandhya remained greatly distressed by the intense radiance emanating from Surya. Consequently, she contemplated separating from him and seeking solace in her parents’ abode, where she intended to engage in rigorous penance. Should any opposition arise, Sandhya resolved to relocate to a remote and secluded location to undertake her arduous penitential practises.

Through her act of penance, Sandhya manifested a doppelgänger named Suvarna, who represented her shadow self. Sandhya entrusted her three children to Chaya, instructing her to assume the role of a mother figure and care for them. Sandhya assured Chaya that she could rely on her assistance in times of trouble, emphasising the importance of maintaining the distinction between Chaya and Sandhya, and ensuring that this distinction remained concealed from others.

The individual in question relinquished her duties to Chaya and departed for her parental residence. Upon arrival, she disclosed to her father her inability to endure the brilliance of the deity Surya. Consequently, she had left without informing her spouse. In response, her father reproached her severely, cautioning that her uninvited return would bring a curse upon both her and himself. He instructed her to promptly return to her marital home. Subsequently, Sandhya became apprehensive about the fate of the responsibilities entrusted to Chaya should she comply with her father’s directive. The whereabouts of Chaya also became a concern.

In light of the potential revelation of their clandestine activities, Sandhya sought solace in the densely forested regions of Uttar Kurukshetra.

The protagonist experienced apprehension regarding her personal safety within the jungle due to her youthful appearance and physical attractiveness. Consequently, she assumed the guise of a mare in order to conceal her true identity and initiated a period of penance. In a separate narrative, the divine union between God Surya and Chaya resulted in the birth of three offspring. Surya and Chaya enjoyed a harmonious relationship, characterised by Surya’s unwavering trust. The progeny of Chaya consisted of Manu, God Shani, and Putri Bhadra (Tapti).

According to the second narrative, the manifestation of God Shani occurred as a consequence of the esteemed ‘yagna’ conducted by Maharishi Kashyap. During the gestation period of God Shani within the womb of Chaya, Shiv Bhaktini Chaya exhibited a profound level of devotion towards God Shiva, to the extent that she neglected her own sustenance.

The intensity of her prayers throughout her penance exerted a remarkable affect on the developing child within her womb. The complexion of God Shani turned black as a consequence of Chaya’s rigorous penance, during which she endured exposure to the scorching sun without sustenance or shelter. Upon the birth of God Shani, Surya was taken aback by the presence of his dusky skin. The individual commenced to harbour scepticism against Chaya. Chaya was subjected to derogatory remarks when he asserted that the child in question was not his offspring.

Since his birth, God Shani has inherited the immense powers resulting from his mother’s rigorous penance.

The individual observed his father engaging in verbal abuse towards his mother. He observed his father with a malevolent stare. Consequently, the paternal figure’s physical form exhibited a burned black appearance. The equine companions of the celestial deity Surya came to a halt, bringing his divine chariot to a standstill. The chariot exhibited a lack of mobility. Filled with concern, the deity Surya beseeched the presence of the divine entity Shiva. The deity Shiva provided counsel to the deity Surya, elucidating the events that had transpired. As a result of his actions, the reverence for both the mother and infant has been compromised and subjected to derogation. The deity Surya acknowledged his wrongdoing and expressed remorse. The protagonist experienced a restoration of his former resplendent appearance and the revitalization of his chariot’s equine strength. Subsequently, God Shani has assumed the role of a dutiful offspring to his paternal and maternal figures, while also displaying unwavering devotion as a pupil of God Shiva.

Based on other scriptural and legendary accounts, as documented in the Brahma Purana, it is asserted that Saturn exhibited unwavering devotion towards Lord Krishna and was captivated by his divine presence. In light of this proclivity, the Sun entered into matrimony with the daughter of Chitra Rath, namely Saturn. Saturn’s spouse had remarkable strength, potency, and humility. Param Tejasvi, the consort of Saturn, approached her husband with the intention of beseeching him for the gift of progeny. However, Shani Dev was preoccupied with engaging in meditation and offering prayers to Lord Krishna. Following a prolonged period of waiting, the protagonist’s spouse became increasingly agitated and expressed her discontent by invoking a curse against Shani, beseeching that anyone and everyone encountered by him shall face utter destruction. Consequently, she invoked a curse upon Saturn, proclaiming that any anyone who encountered him would suffer complete annihilation. Due to the aforementioned characteristics, Saturn was deemed weak and its influence was believed to possess the potential to bring about destruction upon individuals.

Saturn made efforts to persuade her, and she ultimately acknowledged her error. However, she was unable to retract the curse. Saturn assumed a downward gaze, motivated by a desire to prevent harm to others. This results in Shani consistently maintaining a lowered head posture.

This narrative elucidates the detrimental influence of the drishti (aspect) of Shani.

The Significance of Saturn in Vedic Astrology

According to the principles of Vedic astrology, Saturn is often regarded as auspicious when positioned within a specific house, while its influence on the houses it aspects is typically perceived as unfavourable. The perceived harm associated with Saturn’s influence stems from its role in imparting spiritual and worldly teachings through these aspected homes, which are essentially regarded as arenas for personal growth and developmental problems in one’s present life. Shani exhibits influence over the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses, including a span of 270 degrees in orbital distance. One may envision the substantial magnetic impact exerted by Saturn based on its occupied position.

Shani strongly disapproves of behaviours such as fraudulent activities, deceit, dishonesty, alcohol consumption, gambling, neglecting personal hygiene, engaging in animal cruelty, and showing contempt towards God, parents, or elders.

If Shani assumes a favourable placement within an individual’s birth chart, it is likely that said individual will experience progress in various facets of life. This progress may manifest in the form of diligent work ethic, equitable conduct, and a propensity for justice. Additionally, individuals with a favourable Shani placement may enjoy a commendable social standing and a relatively healthy physical condition. Conversely, an unfavourable positioning of Shani within a birth chart may result in adverse consequences such as damage to one’s residence, occurrences of fires, accumulation of debt, disputes, and the loss of financial assets and property.

The adverse positioning of the planet Saturn, commonly referred to as “Shani,” is associated with the occurrence of dental and ocular abnormalities during early development. Historically, the movements of Saturn, often regarded as the “Great Malefic,” were met with trepidation and accompanied by cautionary messages conveyed by astrologers to their clients. These messages forewarned individuals about potential scarcity, misfortune, significant setbacks, or challenging situations.

The gift of Saturn lies in the pressure it exerts, which serves to maintain our focus on our individual journey. Similar to the zodiac sign it governs, Capricorn, Saturn’s gravity stems from the understanding that certain objectives necessitate persevering through apprehension in order to cultivate greater internal discipline. Jupiter, on the other hand, counterbalances this by instilling faith, optimism, and confidence that the diligent efforts invested will ultimately yield fruitful outcomes.

The planet Saturn does not guarantee success, nevertheless, by methodically outlining the necessary steps and persevering along this trajectory despite potential distractions and uncertainties, individuals can gradually attain a level of expertise that aligns with the standards set by Saturn. This process ultimately leads to the development of unwavering self-confidence.

The influence of Saturn is often perceived as weighty and constraining, which aligns with the inherent characteristics of the physical realm. In instances where individuals feel overwhelmed, inert, or despondent, they may relinquish their autonomy and grant authority to another figure. This authority can manifest in various forms, such as a superior at work, a paternal figure, a spouse, an educator, a confidant, or even an internalised critical voice. Following a period of sufficient humility, individuals may ultimately choose to assert their independence and assume the role of self-governance.

The astrological placement of Saturn in one’s natal chart, specifically in terms of its sign and house position, indicates the potential areas in which significant life challenges may manifest. Despite any negative connotations associated with this celestial body, it is important to recognise that Saturn should not be regarded with fear. In fact, the attainment of success following the overcoming of obstacles can be profoundly fulfilling, accompanied by a profound and enduring understanding of life. This invaluable outcome is bestowed upon our individual destinies by the influence of Saturn, also known as Shani.

According to belief, Prajapati and Yam are considered to be the Adhidevta and Pratyadhidevta of Saturn, respectively.

Saturn is associated with Lord Krishna’s lineage and is depicted as riding a vulture and a chariot crafted from iron. Additionally, Saturn is recognised by other appellations, including Asit, Aarki, Chhayatmaj, Mand, Shanaishchar, Suryaputra, Ravij, Pangu, Saur, and Bhaskari.

In Vedic astrology, Saturn is considered the Karak planet for the 6th, 8th, and 10th houses, as well as for the concept of detachment.

Saturn serves as the significator planet for coal, iron, eggplants, garments of black or blue hue, split black lentils, black grapes, and Indian blackberries.

Saturn is widely regarded as a Karak planet for objects exhibiting a blue hue. It is commonly linked to the anatomical structures of ligaments and the stomach. In the context of detachment, Saturn’s potency within the Kundali is crucial for attaining success. Additionally, Saturn can be associated with the domains of sculpting, service, agriculture, and the labouring class. Furthermore, Saturn’s influence extends to the temporal aspects of an individual’s life, particularly their age and longevity. Favourable placement of Saturn within a horoscope is believed to bestow a prolonged lifespan.

Despite its negative reputation, Saturn is widely regarded as a symbol of instruction and guidance. It exhibits characteristics akin to those of an educator, disciplining individuals for their transgressions while rewarding them for their virtuous actions. Furthermore, Saturn is associated with the concept of justice, assuming the role of a judge and dispensing equitable outcomes based on an individual’s conduct. Consequently, individuals who engage in wrongdoing and possess unfavorable karma are duly recompensed.

Saturn governs the skeletal structure of the human body, particularly the larger bones found in the legs. In accordance with its inherent nature, Saturn is associated with the manifestation of chronic ailments that tend to persist over an extended period of time, often proving to be challenging to remedy. Consequently, individuals afflicted by such conditions must endure prolonged periods of illness. Moreover, those influenced by Saturn’s energy are compelled to exert significant effort in their endeavors throughout life. Saturn symbolizes the laboring class, individuals who toil diligently to secure meagre sustenance. Additionally, Saturn exercises dominion over land and subterranean resources, thereby exerting control over mining operations. Iron is the metal associated with Saturn, while its representative colors are black and blue. The zodiac signs governed by Saturn are Capricorn and Aquarius, with its exaltation occurring in Libra and debilitation in Aries. Aquarius serves as Saturn’s moon-trikona sign.

Saturn is characterized by its adherence to discipline and strictness, and it strongly opposes chaos and disobedience. In the realm of Hindu astrology, Saturn holds significant importance. This celestial body instills fear in individuals due to its unwavering commitment to discipline and strictness. The gradual movement of Saturn across the zodiac offers two significant periods known as Sade Sati and Dahiya. These periods occur multiple times throughout an individual’s life. Sade Sati refers to the phase when Saturn transits the twelfth and second houses relative to the natal moon. Similarly, the period of Dahiya occurs when Saturn is positioned between the fourth and eighth houses from the natal moon. The duration of Sade Sati spans seven and a half years, while the period of Dhaiya lasts for two and a half years.

These two periods are widely acknowledged as challenging phases in an individual’s life. During this time, individuals encounter several adversities and difficulties without receiving any relief or support. From an astrological perspective, this period is believed to be conducive to personal growth and enlightenment, despite the hardships experienced.

Conclusion : 

The experience of enduring hardship can be seen as a means of atoning for one’s transgressions. This concept allows for an examination of the contrasting characteristics of Mars and Saturn. Specifically, individuals influenced by Mars may be driven towards criminal behaviour or theft as a result of the difficulties they face. Conversely, Saturn’s influence prompts individuals to embark on a spiritual journey, compelling them to reflect upon the actions that have led to their current state of suffering. Over time, this process leads to a transformation towards righteousness.

The concept of karma holds considerable significance in Vedic astrology. The prevailing belief posits that the activities undertaken in previous incarnations exert influence over an individual’s current circumstances and forthcoming experiences. In my capacity as an astrologer, I engage in the examination of planetary positions within a birth chart in order to acquire a deeper understanding of an individual’s karmic patterns.

Karma is a concept that pertains to the principle of causality, wherein each action is believed to produce corresponding outcomes. According to the principles of Vedic astrology, it is widely acknowledged that individuals bear the burden of prarabdha karma, denoting the segment of their previous life’s deeds that have matured and are presently exerting an impact on their current existence. The manifestation of prarabdha karma might encompass both favourable and unfavourable situations, contingent upon the inherent characteristics of our previous acts.

The arrangement of celestial bodies in a natal chart yields significant insights about an individual’s karmic inclinations. Every celestial body in our solar system symbolises distinct facets of human existence and possesses its own karmic implications. One illustrative instance involves the association of Saturn with karmic lessons and duties, juxtaposed with Jupiter’s representation of spiritual growth and insight.

Through an examination of the celestial arrangements and their interplay, one can discern the domains of existence in which an individual may encounter the repercussions of their prior deeds. The potential influence of karmic forces in various aspects of life, including as relationships, careers, health, or wealth, can be inferred from the relative strength or weakness of specific celestial bodies, namely planets.

It is noteworthy to acknowledge that Vedic astrology does not perceive karma as a punitive measure, but rather as a catalyst for personal development and advancement. Gaining insight into one’s karmic patterns can facilitate individuals in making deliberate decisions and implementing suitable measures to manage adversities and augment their spiritual progression.

In summary, the notion of karma in Vedic astrology underscores the intrinsic interdependence between our preceding, ongoing, and forthcoming circumstances. Through the examination of the planetary positions within a birth chart, I possess the ability to offer discerning observations of an individual’s karmic inclinations. This enables me to provide guidance that facilitates educated decision-making, ultimately fostering personal development and a sense of contentment.

It is imperative to acknowledge that karma should not be perceived solely as a mechanism of retribution and reward. Instead, it is a system that functions at a more profound level. Karma is widely regarded as a mechanism that facilitates individual development and spiritual advancement. Through the direct observation and understanding of the outcomes resulting from our activities, we are afforded the chance to acquire significant insights and cultivate enhanced levels of sagacity and empathy.

Moreover, the concept of karma transcends just individual deeds and encompasses the realm of thoughts and intentions as well. The generation of karmic energy can be attributed to the profound wants and motives that are within us. Consequently, the cultivation of a good mindset and the preservation of pure intentions are crucial for the generation of positive karma.

Although the notion of karma may appear intricate, its fundamental principle is straightforward: individuals bear accountability for their own actions and the resulting outcomes. It reminds us to be mindful of our choices and to strive for virtuous behaviour. Through this proactive approach, individuals have the ability to actively influence and mould their current and forthcoming conditions, so cultivating a life that is characterised by greater harmony and satisfaction.

The concept of karma holds substantial significance in Vedic astrology as it pertains to comprehending an individual’s life experiences and prospective outcomes. Karma pertains to the principle of causality, wherein our past deeds exert an influence on our current circumstances and mould our forthcoming experiences. Vedic astrology encompasses various forms of karma, each holding distinct significance.

In accordance with the precepts of astrology, Karma can be broken down into a number of subcategories, each of which I will briefly describe below before delving into in further detail in the following installment of this series.

For the sake of gaining a knowledge of the karmas, which are inextricably interwoven with Vedic astrology, I will merely provide a high-level overview here:

Dridha Karma refers to a category of karma that encompasses the predestined and unalterable actions that individuals have accrued from their previous incarnations. The phenomenon in question is commonly denoted as “fate” or “destiny.” The concept of “dridha karma” posits that certain aspects of an individual’s existence, including their birth family, physical appearance, and key life events, are predetermined and unchangeable.

Adridha karma, alternatively referred to as “modifiable karma,” pertains to the activities that are subject to modification or alteration within the context of our current lifetimes. In contrast to dridha karma, adridha karma affords individuals the capacity to exercise agency and alter the trajectory of their fate. The phenomenon is subject to the influence of our volitional agency and deliberate choices.

Kriyamana Karma, also known as current karma, pertains to the actions that are promptly executed in one’s present existence. The aforementioned activities are a manifestation of our capacity for autonomous decision-making and are likely to exert influence on our forthcoming encounters. Kriyamana karma is regarded as the collective result of both constructive and destructive actions in which individuals partake over the course of their lives.

Sanchit Karma refers to the collective accumulation of all activities, encompassing both positive and negative deeds, that an individual has amassed throughout successive incarnations. The concept can be understood as a reservoir of karma that exerts impact on both our present existence and subsequent rebirths. The concept of Sanchit karma posits that actions and their consequences are thought to persist across multiple lifetimes until they are adequately addressed or harmonised.

Prarabdha karma pertains to the segment of sanchit karma that is deliberately selected for manifestation during the present incarnation. The term “karma” refers to a subset of accumulated actions that have reached a state of maturation and are poised to emerge in the current incarnation. Prarabdha karma is responsible for determining the significant life events, obstacles, and prospects that individuals meet throughout their current existence.

Agami Karma pertains to the forthcoming outcomes that arise from our present activities. The concept of karma pertains to the accumulation of actions and their subsequent consequences, which individuals generate in their current existence and will encounter in subsequent rebirths. The concept of agami karma is believed to be influenced by the decisions and acts individuals make in the current moment, ultimately affecting their destiny in future incarnations.

Gaining a comprehensive comprehension of the various forms of karma within the realm of Vedic astrology offers profound insights into the intricate nature of human existence and the intricate dynamics between determinism and personal agency. While certain elements of human existence may be predestined, individuals possess the agency to exercise deliberate decision-making and actively influence their own futures by their choices and behaviours.

Many people are confused about using Dasha and transits simultaneously in their chart but there is a major difference in both the system in its application. Though in traditional Parashari system Dasha has given an edge over transits system. In, Traditional system, transits are used by two reference points one by Lagna and second by Moon in addition use of Ashatak Varga points on the Lagna.

Both the references give good results but reference mapping is the lordship of the House and results depending on the functional role of the planet in the natal chart.

But in this system, I have found the timing event is not so accurate with the use of Nakashtra Dashas.

In my humble experience and opinion, Dasha only shows about the result of your total accumulated karma including both prarabdha and the sanchit karma’s which we have done in many of the past journeys.

As it is based on the placement of the planets that typically shows what sort of karma we have done in the past and we have to experience in this journey in the form of Paap and Punya’s.

Same way, when Dasha period triggers we experience the results of pasts deeds either in good or in a bad way, our mind only responds to that environment.

As the Dasha period starts from the Moon nakshatra so here role of the mind is very much important in understanding the Dasha periods results , reaction and response to the native life issues whether it is the period of Maha Dasha or antardasha.

Because the Dasha period Starts from the moon nakshatra so it has a major  impact on our mind which is a storehouse of our previous karmas.

But when it will activate any major events in our life only decided by the transits, as Transits do the job of delivery boy whose duty is to send you the parcel of results at a given time period.

So results of the events totally dependent on the transit triggering point in the natal chart that mapped over your natal placements of the planets and experiencing good and bad karma seen by the Dasha period as it is based on the planetary placements which shows our karma fruitification.

In transits system, slow-moving planets give long-lasting and consistent results for years that may feel like it is difficult to experience the results for any native.

Same is the case with the fast-moving planets like mercury, moon, and Venus which only resonates with ideas, intelligence, and communication as they move very fast in the space plane and its telegraphy energy also travel’s very fast in ether element so it is very difficult for a common man to differentiate it from others transits.

The whole natal chart is the blueprint of your prarabdha karma and transit is the delivery boy of all the events. When any event will trigger in your life only Transit will decide what is going to happen in your life and in which area it will impact.

Another interesting point in the transit system is that it resonates with your ‘kiryamani’ and ‘agami karma’, that decides what you have to do, what you are thinking and what you are acting in what conditions and further shows that what and how you have to feel the experience in your daily life.

So transit gives the unique power to humans how to think, analyze, and react on any daily life situation, it is totally dependant on the native choice. Transits are not predestined like Dasha systems, they give you choices to react on the environment created by the Dasha systems (Nakashtra Dashas).

Nakshatra (Combining many sun’s become a group of nakshatras)  is the energy and source of all the light given to the planets. Planets behave according to the nakshatra source and light energy.

Vimshotri and other nakshatras dashas only show about your mind setup and how you going to react to an environment created by the dasha pattern . I.e when you are visiting a new place either you are reacting to a new place in a friendly way or in a reactive way.

Action and reaction what Dasha period shows because they work on the moon movement over the specific nakshatra. So, you need to feel the difference be experiencing it.

Techniques to Unlock the Pending Karma’s from the birth chart

” vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani grhnati naro ‘paranitatha sarirani vihaya jirnany anyani samyati navani dehi ““

Technique 1 :

Technique 3 : 

C) Check the house Placement and sign of the 3rd house and its lord ( Karyesha) in the natal and D3 chart ( Jaganath Drekkana) it shows your karma one is born with to fulfill in this birth by doing certain actions and karmas in the society. As 3rd house is the house of actions and initiatives done by the jeeva, and it is also directly opposite to the 9th house which shows your Past birth, father and the Bhagya, it shows your Free will (Force of karma that one perform against his destiny)  and in broader sense it will show your must-have actions or karmas that you need to perform in this birth to unlock the future karma or actions one need require in this current birth.

Technique 4 : 

D) Check the 6th house, Sign, planets placed in this house and its lord in the natal chart to decode the Shadripus one has to cross in this birth in order to achieve the purpose of this life. This house, planets placed in it and its lord shows what is the pending karma of this life that must be finish in order to finish or cross this life cycle barrier and reach to next life. For e.g if one has sign libra in the 6th house and there is no planet placed in the house then we have to see where 6th house lord is placed. that placement shows what sort of blockage one is experiencing in this birth  with respect to that particular house placement. If we take current Example, venus is 6th lord and if it is placed in the 10th house in Aquarius sign then one may experience a problem in his career or profession because of his relationships with the female members in his office environment or one can face problem in his career via his wife  or one face hurdle in his career life or performing certain karma in society due to the properties of the venus i.e problems via females, wife, wealth etc.

Technique 5 : 

E) Check Placement and Sign aspect of Saturn and Rahu in the natal chart, shows what is the Major karma that needs to work on it in current life and if both the planets make a relation to each other or some Sambandha in a way by Mutual Aspects, conjunctions then one need to first finish this house karma in order to grow or progress in this life. for e.g Saturn is placed in 8th house and Rahu is placed in the 5th house , As Saturn is aspecting 5th house by 10th aspect then one needs to finish the pending karma wrt to 5th house matters i.e Bhakti, Stability of the chitta ( Mind) affairs, romance, children’s and basic education etc.

I hope people would have enjoyed this article reading it and people will try to apply in their chart to understand it more deeply with the example charts. In the 2nd part, we will try to explain each and every technique with example charts of people those have experienced their destiny and past karmas astrologically.

Sumanta Ghosal

Life Reincarnation is mainly a vedic philosophical concept that an aspect of living being starts a new life in a different physical body after each bio-logical death. It is a central point of vedic literature. Then other Indian religions such as Buddhism, Jainism and Shikh follows this concept.

But today I am going tfo discuss regarding Reincarnation and Astrology. We all know the twin beliefs of Karma and Reincarnation are among Hinduism many jewels of knowledge. Karma literally means “deed or act”, but more broadly it describes the pinciple of cause and effect. Simply stated Karma is a law of action and reaction which governs conscioussness. In metaphysics, Karma is the law that states that every mental, emotional and physical act, no matter how insignificant, is projected out into yhe physic mind substance and eventually returns to the individual with equal impact.

In ‘Bhagvad Gita’ Lord Shree Krishna says to Arjuna –

“वासाांसस जीर्ाासि यथा सवहाय
िवासि गह्णृ ासि िरोऽपरासर् ।
िथा शरीरासर् सवहाय जीर्ाा
न्यन्यासि सांयासि िवासि देही ॥” – Chapter 2, verse 22

It means during our day to day liles we change our old and dirty cloths and take a new/clean cloths whenever we need. Similarly, the Souls or Aatman costs off its worn out physical body at regular intervals of time. Soul is immortal but the physical body is mortal.

This sloka or verse refers to the doctrine of Reincarnation in Vedic philosophy. Death is described here as the simple process of a worn out garmentsfor a new one. Death is nothing but a chage attire in an uninterrupted continuity of immortality. In ‘Bhagvad Gita’, chapter number 2, verse number 23 Lord Krishna states to Arjuna-

“ििै ां सिन्दसन्ि शस्त्रासर् ििै ां दहसि पावकः ।
ि चिै ां क्लेदयन््यापो ि शोषयसि मारुिः ॥”

Lord Krishna states Aatman can not be harmed by weapons- and since it is formless and shapeless – it can not be cut into pieces by any instruments. In the same way, fire can not burn it or destroy it. Water can not wet it because water can act only elements which have physical description or dimensions. For the same reason, wind can not dry it or exert any force on it. Thus the Aatman is beyond the influence of all three primary forces which can affect entities having physical form and description.

REINCARNATION AND ASTROLOGY

But today I am going to discuss regarding the relation between Astrology and Reincarnation. We all know Astrology is nothing but a celestial map of our previous births deeds. Our previous deeds or Karma decides our fate in this existance. By grace and blessings of my Ishtadev Lord Shiva, I am able to collect some birth datas of those people who can remember their previous births. I have collected those datas from various books and internet. I am thankful to them.Astrologically speaking a person’s natal chart does contain indicators for knowing the past and future births.

In a classic astrology book named Phaladeepika, we come to know how to predict past and future births. The author of this book is Manteswara, in the 14th chapter there comes information on astrological pointers to know previous and future births. According to Phaladeepika, the 9th house holds the key.

If 9th lord in natal chart is exalted, the previous birth was in a high society of good people. If 9th lord in natal chart is in debility or in enemy’s sign, the previous birth was in a different country. If 9th lord is in his own house or in a freind’s house, the previous birth was in the same country where the person belongs (Manteswara states Bharat Varsha/India).

In such cases, if 9th lord happens to be Jupiter, the person was born in Aryavarta (Himalayas Vindhyas area).

If 9th lord happens to be Venus or Moon, the person was born near sacred rivers such as Ganga,
Narmada, Kavery etc.

If 9th lord happens to be Mercury, the person was born near places of God like Lord Vishnu or Lord
Shiva.

If 9th lord happens to be Saturn, the person was born in meleccha desha- outside of India or where
Vedic culture is not prevailed.

If 9th lord happens to be Sun, the person was born in a place of forests or mountains.

If 9th lord happens to be Mars, the person was born in places where living was difficult.

To detect future birth we judge 5th lord carefully. To detect future birth same rules are applicable as
mentioned above. But here 5th lord should be judged instead of 9th lord.

Now we have to judge what kind of birth we spent during last birth and what kind of birth we will spend in future birth- whether as plant life or animal life.

According to Vedic philosophy the souls are born in four forms- as Devas, Human, Animals and Plant life.

Manteshwaraclearly states in his book Phaladeepika regarding this :

If the 9th lord is placed in Bhustadhaya rashi which is fixed sign also, the previous birth was that of same Vegetarian.

If the 9th lord is placed in Seershadhaya rashi which is movable sign also, the previous birth was that of same living being, either animal or man.

If the 9th lord is placed in exaltation sign or own house or friend’s house of the lagna lord, the previous
birth was that of a human being.

If the 9th lord is placed in neutral sign of the lagna lord, the previous birth was that of an animal.
If the 9th lord is placed in enemy sign of the lagna lord, the previous birth was that of a bird.

To detect future birth judge 5th lord in the same way as mentioned above.

These are the rules given by the famous astrologer Manteswara in his monumental book named –
“Phaladeepika”.

We get some more clues regarding past and future births from “Brihat Jataka”- by Varahamihira.

According to Varahamihira, Jupiter,Moon and Venus, Sun and Mars, Saturn and Mercury bring people from Devloka, Pitriloka, Tiryagloka and Narakloka. respectively.

We have to judge first who is powerful among Sun and Moon is rashi chart. We have to choose the powerful one and see its position in Drekkana chart. The lord of that house signifies the key of previous birth.

In such a lord in D3 is Jupiter, it signifies that the person was in Devaloka before his birth on earth.

If such a lord is Moon or Venus then that person was in Pitriloka before his birth on earth.

If such a lord in D3 is Sun or Mars then that person was in Tiryaloka before his birth on earth.

If such a lord in D3 is Mercury or Saturn then that person was in Narakloka before his birth on earth.

To detect future birth take 8th lord and see the D3 chart where 8th lord occupies. The lord of the 3rd
house of 8th lord signifies future birth of native.

If such lord is exalted or in benefic position, then we come to this conclusion that person has enjoyed high status in that loka. If it is opposite then reversed result is indicated.

Now I am going to discuss on some case histories regarding this. I have collected these case histories from some books and internet. At the end of my article I will mention regarding this.

1. Shanti Devi and Ms Lugdi devi –

In Delhi, a little girl was born named Shanti. She was born on 11th december, 1926 at 13:48 pm. She gave an elaborate description about her past life. Common public were astonished having heard her statements. In her previous birth she was known as Ms Lugdi, died on 4th october 1925 during delivery of her third child. All of her statements were verified carefully by respected and educated persons including Mahatma Gandhi. Shanti Devi never married due to fear of pregnancy.

A) Chart of Lugdi Devi –

D.O.B- 18.01.1902, T.O.B- 10 AM, P.O.B- Mathura (U.P)

She died in Moon dasha-Rahu antardasha.This is Lugdi Devi’s chart who died at the time of delivery. She was born as Shanti Devi in her future birth.

Now Let’s examine her chart. Her 5th lord as well as 8th lord is Mercury. We all know 5th lord is indicator of future birth. 5th house lord Mercury occupies in 12th house in Capricorn. Capricorn is Saturn’s house. Saturn here lagna lord also. 5th lord Mercury is occupied in 12th house which is friend’s house of Mercury.

It denotes that native’s future birth will be as human. As we know Manteshwara states in his book ‘Phaladeepika’ – that if 9th or 5th lord isin own house or in a friend’s house then previous and future birth forms as human being and in same country.

Here Lugdi’s 5th lord Mercuryis in 12th house that means Saturn’s house which isher lagnesh also. Saturn’s friend is Mercury. So Lugdi Devi’s future birth would be as human being in same country that is India. Lugdi Devi reincarnated as Shanti Devi in her future birth. Lugdi Devi’s 5th lord Mercury occupies in venus navamsha. Venus occupies in lagna, Venus indicates sacred river such as Ganga, Yamuna, Kaveri etc. Lugdi Devi born as Shanti Devi in her future birth in Delhi where sacred Yamuna river exists.

Now I am going to discuss on Shanti Devi’s birth chart who was Lugdi Devi in previous birth. Born in Rahu mahadasha and Mercury antardasha.

Shanti Devi known as Lugdi Devi in her previous birth. Shanti Devi’s 9th lord is Mars, occupied in own house, aries. As per Manteshwara’s ‘Phaladeepika’- If 9th lord is in own house or in friend’s house, previous birth was as human being in same country. We know Lugdi Devi is born as Shanti Devi in Mathura. Mars is in Moon navamsa. Moon denotes sacred river such as Ganga, Yamuna etc. Mathura is near to sacred river Yamuna.

Notes: –

i) We observe that Lugdi’s ascendant was kumbha where Shanti Devi’s (incarnation of Lugdi Devi) ascendant is Meen, 2nd house of Kumbha. It means where Lugdi ended her life journey from there Shanti Devi started her journey again in a different physical body.

ii) Lugdi died in Moon dasha and Rahu antardasha. Shanti devi was born in Rahu mahadasha and Mercury antardasha.

2. Another case study of reincarnation is Rampratap Singh. Rampratap Singh was born in 10th january at 10:30 am in Delhi. He could remember his previous birth. According to him, he was born in same family where he is born in this birth. He died by an accident took place on 6th february 1983. In his previous birth he was born 30th december 1958 at 8:55 pm, Delhi. Now I am going to analyse his previous birth chart and his this existance birth chart.

Previous birth of Rampratap Singh

D.O.B- 30.12.1958, T.O.B- 08:55 PM, P.O.B- Delhi

This is the birth chart of Rampratap Singh’s previous existence. Let us analyse this. 5th lord denotes future birth. Here 5th lord occupies in 10th house in Aries sign which is Mars own sign. According to Manteshwara, If 5th lord is in own house or in a friend’s house, future birth will be as human being in same country. In his next birth the native born in same country and same city.

Now we will discuss his present birth chart. In his previous birth he died on 6th february 1983. And the
native born as Rampratap Singh on -10th january 1984 at 10:30 am in Delhi.

He was born in Saturn dasha aand mars antardasha.

His 9th lord Venus and 10th lord Mars interchanges house. So no malefic results will be occured. Venus is in star of Mercury. Mercury is friend of Saturn and Venus. So it indicates Rampratap Singh’s previous birth was as human being in a same country, same city. As his Lagna is in even sign and as his ascendant is in moon’s hora, Rampratap Singh is born in same family where he was born in his previous birth.

Case Study number- 3

Another rebirth case study I am going to mention here. The name of this person is Pooran Singh. He was born on 9th december 1968 at 4:10 am, Kapurthala.This person can remember his previous birth.

According to him he was born on 19th november 1929 at 6:26 pm at Moga and died on 19th may 1966 by an accident.

Pooran Singh’s previous birth chart-

He died in 19th may 1966 in Saturn dasha and Mercury antardasha.

From 5th lord we judge future birth. 5th lord Mercury is in 6th house Libra which is Venus sign. Venus is lagnesh and 6th lord also. Mercury and Venus are mutual friends of each other. In famous astrological book ‘Phaladeepika’, Manteshwara states that if 5th lord is occupied in own house or friend house then native’s future birth will be as human being and he will born in same country and same region. Hence all the combinations are fulfilled. After death the native is born as Pooran Singh at Kapurthala. Kapurthala and Moga’s distance is not so far. Both places are under Punjab state. Now i am going to analyse his present birth chart.

Pooran Singh

D.O.B- 09.12.1968, T.O.B- 4:10 AM, P.O.B- Kapurthala

Born in Saturn dasha and Mercury antardasha.From 9th house we denotes previous birth. 9th lord is Mercury occupies in 2nd house Scorpio with Sun and Mercury both are in Jyestha star which is Mercury Star. Mars is in Virgo which is Mercury’s house.So Mercury and Mars both interchanges each others house. Mercury’s signification is prime here. As a result we come to this conclusion that native was born in human being in his previous birth in same
region.

Note:- In his previous birth he died in Saturn dasha and mercury antardasha. In his present birth he was born in same dasha and antardasha. Soul has just changed new mortal body. Soul’s evaluation is continuously going on.In his previous birth chart ascendant was Taurus that is Venus sign. In this present birth he is born under Libra ascendant which is Venus sign too.

In Shashta Kanda of Mahabharat, Lord Shiva explains to Goddess Parvati: –

“Tasmajjatismara loke jayante Badhshanyukta
Tesha Vivardhatam sangya swapanvat sa pranashyati
Parlokashya chesitatve moodhanam karanam tuidam “

It means when a person who dies suddenly somewhere and is born again suddenly, his old habits and samskaars may remain for some time. But as they grow up, their old memories disappear like dreams.In this way birth and death cycle is going on. It will never be ended until soul get salvation or moksha.

Thats why Adi Shankaracharya states-

“Punaropi Jananam Punaropi maranam, punoropi janani jathare shyanam
Tha samsare khalu dustare – kripayapare pahi murae.”

It means we take birth again and again and die again anad again, sleep again and again in the womb of
mother. The world is so difficult place to stay. Oh God! rescue me from all this anad give me salvation.

Vedic Astrology Dasha Systems

What is Dasha period ?  How does it impact our Karma and life-cycle ?

Dasha is all about your total sanchit karma , the storage point of all the Karma’s that you have gathered from the total birth journeys. It has two major points one should always keep in mind; major portion of dasha period speaks about  your prarabdha karma that is we can only see from the placement of the planets in the natal chart, means your all the bad deeds from the portion of total accumulated karma’s rest of the Karma is your sanchit karma (Left behind) where it shows good part of karma that can be trigger at any moment in native life. Choices always depends on your prayers and good deeds, they are changeable in nature. That’s the reason whenever there is an adverse dasha running in your natal chart it is very hard to avoid the results of the dasha period  as they represents all the misdeeds in the form of prarabdha karma. But if your 9th house or its lord is well placed or there are placement of beneficial planets in the 9th house or lagnesh ( 1st house lord) or 9th lord is forming relationship with each other you can get relaxation in the form of remedies.For remedies to work there should be a good linkage between 9th, lagna and 12th house if 9th is not forming any relationship with the said houses it is very difficult for a native to get expected results for their respective remedies. 9th house is the house of higher god, dharma and prayers, if it is well disposed it is possibly a good reason one can expect the results of remedies soon. Majorly karmic remedies always start working in your life via the 9th house activation with the help of Guru or a good jyotishi guidance. Majorly Dasha period speaks about your temporary Karma’s that one has to face during the time period those are difficult to change and that can trigger at any moment in any fixed duration. But when that results can comes in your life is totally dependent on the transit of the major planets like Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu/ketu over your natal planets. Transits are the delivery boy and dasha period is your parcel of all the Karma’s. When that event has to come only deliver boy can decides it. Transits has major role in transforming your whole life as they indicates about the actions period of the karma or in layman language it shows the timing of the events. Transits are indicative of the new karmas that one can do during the dasha period. It gives you a chance to work on your self, improve your life and do good deeds in the form of kiryamana karma ( The new Karma). Generally we can know the kiryamana karma by the Prashna chart  or by the 6th and 10th lord in natal chart.

In Dasha Systems, Vimshottari Dasha is most famous among all. Vimshottari Dasha that operates in any native life explains about certain life events those are in sync with your age like if Saturn MD or AD dasha operates in the age of 36 native will learn, grows or matures a lot w.r.t to his life lessons, karma, Career and he will meet many people in his life which will totally changes his experiences, wisdom and thinking power. Same way if Mercury dasha operates at the 32 of age of he will experience certain learning experiences wrt to expanding his social circle, meeting and leaving new friends, enhancing new skills, learning new sets of logic’s, improving intelligence etc. Thing is Purpose of every dasha beginning is to teaches you certain life lessons and understanding your life path at those fixed age. Vimsotri dasha is all about understanding and experiencing your Prarabdha and sanchit karmas and when certain transits align or meet with these dasha periods native life get total change in his life and in this new life cycle and life experiences both the Rahu/Ketu plays very a major and important roles in either giving you or taking everything you have in their Dashas and transits over natal chart.

The Biggest truth of planetary motion is  that they have major role in impacting human life cycle and certain karmas. The greatest impact of planetary force on human being is it can effect your state of mind, decision making, circumstances, situations, appearance, aura, and most importantly all the personality traits are dependent on the transits and dashas and it has greater impact on human mind first. Vimshottari dasha is one such tool you can read and analyze it well and in my observation Vimshottari dasha is all about your traits and planetary placements from the moon in natal chart, which can read your mind setup, environment and circumstances. That’s the reason I prefer to see vimsotri dasha first-most for all the human traits those can impact your status of mind, thoughts and decision making.One should always gives much focus on all these parameters while analysing the vimsotri dasha and impact of planetary force on human mind setup but one of major loophole in vimsotri dasha is decision of karma is always pending in your hand in any of the dasha period. your Agami karma always decides your kiryamani karma,so do not ignore the importance and purpose of birth given to you over vimsotri dasha.Your birth is all about your current karma over previous prarabdha.

In This article we will try to learn about all the Major dashas system and we will explain each dashas in their consecutive parts in future articles. So first lets try to understand  different dasha systems we can use in natal chart one by one.Among all Most famous is Vimshottari Dasha respectively and rest of the dasha periods are used according to their requirements and condition’s in natal chart.
