Vedic Astrology Lesson 6

In higher states of Consciousness, many philosophic verities were cognised by the Sages which gave birth to the sciences called Astrology, Numerology,Yoga & Vedanta. All sciences study Being. Physics is the science of Being as Matter, as Energy. Chemistry is the science of Being as Qualities.

Mathematics is the Science of Being as Numbers. Biology, the science of Being as Life. But the philosophia prima ( Vedanta ) is the Science of Being as Being, in its pure state. While the Science of Being ( Vedanta ) & the Art of Living ( Yoga ) dominated the six main sciences, the six auxiliary sciences were dominated by the Science of Being as Time ( Astrology ).

The Law of Corresondences - Western and Eastern Views

In the Occident, the divine Hermes Trismegistus spelt out the Law of Correspondences saying ” That which is on high is that which is on below, that which is on below is that which is on high, in order that the miracle of Unity may be perpetual “.

In the Orient, Aurobindo averred ” The mystery of the lotus cannot be deciphered by analysing the mud below, but by analysing the heavenly archetype of the lotus that blooms forever in the heavens above”.

The Law of Epistemic Correlation

This Law states that all sciences are interrelated. We will examine what all other sciences are related to this Science of Destiny.

Astro_Numerology

To Pythagorus, the mystery of the Universe was symbolised by Numbers.

Every number has a particular vibration and certain numbers were found to be beneficial to human beings. This synthesis of Numerology and Astrology metamorphosed into the science of Astro-Numerology.

Astro-Gemology

According to Howard Beckman of the Planetary Gemologists Association (www.p-g-a.org), gems increase the transmission of Cosmic Colours radiated by the planets which is absorbed by our etheric or astral body. Thus the Colour Hunger of the etheric body is satiated resulting in the elimination of disease. This is the rationale of Gem Therapy. Dr Kapur in his book ” Gems and Astrology ” has recorded how he has successfully healed a Libra Ascendant patient by making him wear a Golden Topaz!

Astrology & Ayurvedic Therapy

Holistic Medicine ( Ayurveda ) is related to the science of the revolving heavens. Ayurvedic physicians of yore used the horoscope to diagnose disease. According to them the seven planets represented the seven gross elements ( dhatus). A weakly placed Saturn was responsible for arthritis and Jupiter for diabetes. Since the 12 signs from the Ascendant represented the 12 limbs of the human body by correspondence, they could discern which part of the body was afflicted by disease. Rahu in the sixth was found to cause gas trouble and ulceration since the sixth house represented the belly.

Astrology as related to Yoga.

Yoga is not a way of doing, it is a way of Being.

The aim of Yoga is Union with Cosmic Intelligence. The Self or the Divine Spark within us is experienced as Bliss. The aspirant by overcoming his negative aspect and uniting with his Higher Self can become one with the “Bliss for which the world’s derelict sorrows yearn”! As the Science of Time, Astrology can point out the barriers on the path of the aspirant, the impediments which block his progress and instruct him how to remove those barriers !

Frank Soul asked:


The Druids were possessed of “… much knowledge of the stars and their motion, of the size of the world and of the earth, of natural philosophy…” - Julius Caesar.

Irish Astrology, also referred to as Celtic Tree Astrology, is the astrological system practised by the ancient Irish. It is based on a Druid symbol system and not on any of the traditional systems such as Western, Chinese or Vedic astrologies.

The Celtic Zodiac is drawn from the beliefs of the Druids and is based on the cycles of the moon. The year is divided into 13 lunar months, with a tree (sacred to the druids) assigned to each month. Each tree has particular magical qualities whose secret mysteries come from the ancient shamanic alphabet, the Ogram. The origin of this Tree Alphabet is ascribed to the God of Poetry and Eloquence of Celtic Ireland, Ogam. He is also known as the Celtic Herkules.

The Druids were Celtic priests who inhabited much of Western Europe, Britain and Ireland until they were supplanted by the Roman government and, later, by the arrival of Christianity.

Some renowned Celtic scholars also noticed, thanks to their vast understanding, that Celtic astronomy paralleled the Vedics. They discovered that the ancient Celtic astrologers used similar systems as those of the Vedic astrologers.

Classical writers such as Cicero, Caesar, Pliny described the Celts as “masters of astronomy”. Even the Romans paid tribute to their astronomy. One of the first to note that the ancient Celts believed the world to be round (not flat) was Martial (c. AD 40-103/4) who himself claimed Celtic ancestry.

The Irish (and the Celts generally) have a long tradition of astrological learning stretching back to a time before Christianity and the incoming of Greek and Latin learning. For too long now this long and rich tradition of Celtic Astrology has been sadly neglected.

Vedic Astrology Lesson 38

Mathematical Astrology Part I

The Sixfold Source of Planetary Strength ( Shad Bala )

We have said that Vedic Astro Physics is the integration of 3 sciences -

Siddhanta ( Astronomy), Samhita ( Philosophy & Maths) & Hora ( Astrology ).Astronomy or Siddhanta is the base, the scientific aspect and Astrology or Hora is the predictive aspect of that infinite ocean which is the Science ofTime, Vedic Astro Physics !

60 Shashtiamsas constitute a Rupa, a unit of planetary strength. A planet

in order to be powerful should get a minimum of Shashtiamsas. For example, Jupiter should have at least 390 Shashtiamsas to be considered powerful. If he attains a Shad Bala of less than 390, he is considered Vibala or weak. Remedial measures have to be done for such a weak planet.

Knowest thou not that planets called Vibala

Are planets weak in the Sixfold Strength?

Cancellation ( Bhanga ) they cause of Regal Yoga

And are harmful in their nature; O Learned One!

It is a well known fact that proper prognostications are not possible without proper calculations. The great Vedic astronomer Bhaskara stressed the need for a clear knowledge of Spherical Astronomy & Trignometry & a comprehension of the doctrine of spherical projection for one who wishes to be an astrologer par excellence. At the same time, we warn our readers that, whilst Mathematical Astrology is beautiful and captivating, too much indulgence in it can harm one’s power of intuition, the development of which is a must from the perspective of this Scientia Intuitiva !

In assessing the strength of a planet, many methods are used.

There are six kinds of potency in the Sixfold Method. They are

1) Positional Strength - Sthana Bala

2) Directional Strength - Dikbala

3) Temporal Strength - Kalabala

4) Motional Strength - Cheshtabala

5) Natural Strength - Naisargikabala

6) Aspectual Strength - Drik Bala

The calculation of each of these involves a fairly good knowledge of

astro-mathematical principles.

Application of the Sixfold Strength or Shad Bala

The aphorism ” A strong planet will do good; a weak planet only harm ” rules Astrology. It is common sense that weak planet weakens the houses he owns & the significations which he signifies.

A planet’s strength and weakness is measured numerically by the Shadbala Method. In short, Shad Bala method is the base of Vedic Astrology, as astrologers check the strength and weakness of a planet via the Sixfold Method.

1) Positional Strength ( Sthana Bala )

A planet may be placed in inimical, neutral or friendly houses. It may be exalted or debilitated. If he be in an inimical house, he is considered weak and he is powerful if in a friendly house. This potency is known as Positional Strength or Sthana Bala.

Positional Strength consists of 5 major factors

1) Exaltation Strength ( Oocha Bala )

2) Strength in the Sevenfold Division ( Saptavargaja Bala )

3) Strength acquired in Odd & Even Signs ( Ojayugmarasyamsa Bala )

4) Angular Strength ( Kendra Bala )

5) Decanate Strength ( Drekkana Bala )

The strengths of planets are measured in Rupas. A Rupa consists of 60

Shashtiamsas.

1) Exaltation Strength - Occhabala

Occhabala is the Exaltation strength. For instance,the largest planet Jupiter is deeply exalted at 5 degrees Cancer. At 5 degrees Cancer, Jupiter attains a full strength of 60 Shashtiamsas or a Rupa. All planets have certain Exaltation points ( Oochabhagas ) & Debilitation Points ( Neechabhagas ).

When a planet occupies its Oochabhaga, it gets One rupa or 60 Shashtiamsas of Oochabala. On the contrary, when it occupies its Debilitation Point( Neechabhaga ), there is Zero Oochabala. There is a gradual increase of Exaltation Strength from the Debilitation Point ( Neechabhaga) to the Exaltation Point ( Ucchabhaga ) , until at last the Bala reaches its maximum at the Oochabhaga. Conversely, there is a gradual decrease of Oochabala from the Exaltation Point to the Debilitation Point till the minimum is reached at the Debilitation Point

( Neechabhaga ) .

Deduct the Debilitation Point from a planet’s longitude and you get the

Oocchabala. If it is in excess of 180 degrees, deduct it from 360 degrees &

divide the difference by 3. This will give the Oocchabala of the planet.

This is the formula for Occhabala

Oochabala = (Planet’s Longitude - Its Debilitation Point) * 60/180

= ( Planet’s Longitude - Its Debilitation Point ) / 3

Relations between Planets

Planets are related to the Houses which they own and which they tenant. They are also related to the 16 types of divisions, Shad Varga ( known as Divisional Charts ). Amongst the planetary members, certain planets are friends, enemies or neutrals. There are two types of relationships between them. They are natural relationships & temporary relationships.

Natural Relationships

Planet Friends Neutrals Enemies

Sun Moon, Mars, Jupiter Mercury Venus, Saturn

Moon Sun, Mercury Mars, Jupiter None

Venus, Saturn

Mars Sun, Moon, Jupiter Venus, Saturn Mercury

Mercury Sun, Venus Mars, Jupiter,Saturn Moon

Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars Saturn Mercury, Venus

Venus Mercury, Saturn Mars, Jupiter Sun, Moon

Saturn Mecury, Venus Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars

Temporary Relationships

The planet in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th and 12th houses from any other planet becomes his temporary friend. Those in the rest of the houses are temporary enemies.

Combined or Mixed Relations

When a temporary friend becomes a natural friend, they both become intimate friends. A neutral is the combination of a natural friend & a temporary enemy and vice versa.nA bitter enemy is he who is a temporary enemy plus a natural enemy. When we fuse these principles, we get the following equations.

1) Temporary Friend + Natural Friend = Intimate friend

2) Temporary Friend + Natural Enemy = Neutral

3) Temporary Friend + Natural Neutral = Friend

4) Temporary Enemy + Natural Enemy = Bitter Enemy

5) Temporary Enemy + Natural Friend = Neutral

1) Temporary Enemy + Natural Neutral = Enemy

Thus, from the above equations, we can evaluate a planet’s relations.

2) Saptavargaja Bala

This is the calculation of a planet’s stregth in the Sevenfold Division ( Sapta Varga ).

A planet may occupy an inimical Varga ( division ) or a friendly varga (

Mitra Varga ) or a neutral varga ( Samavarga ).

Planet in

Moolatrikona ( Equal to Exaltation ) = 45 Shashtiamsas

Swavarga ( Own Varga ) = 30 Shashtiamsas

Adhi Mitra Varga ( Bosom Friend’s ) = 22.5 “

Mitravarga ( Friends ) = 15 “

Samavarga ( Neutral ) = 7.5 “

Shatruvarga ( Inimical ) = 3.75 “

Adhi Satruvarga ( Bitter inimical ) = 1.875 “

Take a planet & examine its relationship with the Lords of

the Sevenfold Division ( Saptavargas ) If in Rasi , if it occupies a

Swavarga ( own Varga ), assign a value of 30 Shashtiamsas; simi-

larly for all other Vargas, assign values based on the relationship

which the planet bears to the divisional lords and you will get the

Saptavargaja Bala or the planet’s strength in the Sevenfold

Division.
