Vedic Astrology

 

Horoscope Reading

Vedic Astrology is completely different from Western Tropical Astrology. Vedic Astrology practised since Vedic times utilises the Sidereal or Stellar Zodiac or say Nakshatra and is based upon the constellation of stars as well as planetary periods in the solar system.

Vedic Astrology is the science of the effects of planetary movements on our lives. Once the correct positions of the signs and planets are known, astrologers can construct charts representing these positions. And using his knowledge, the astrologer can study the charts and can make a wide range of conclusions about the moment the chart was cast for. Primarily, astrology is used to understand one’s self, and our Karma for this life.

Kundali Matching for Marriage

Kundali Matching, also known as Horoscope Matching is used since ages for matching the Gunas of the going to be married couples and advice the chances of the success of marriage. More the points i.e., Gunas, more is the chance of success of the marriage. The maximum number of Gunas – points matching is 36 and minimum it should be 18. Not only this, after getting the initial idea of compatibility of the score card of the horoscope, an astrologer can offer the solution for the incompatible factors between the couple.

Vedic Astrological Remedies

Human life is brim full of good and bad experiences, which to certain extent, are result to our planetary positions. Some can be cured and some not.

Due to past birth Karmas as well as existing life’s Karmas, we face many such problems in life. Thus, Vedic astrological remedies overpower the malefic and bad effects of the planetary positions and ill effects of Karmas in life. The Vedic Astrological remedies can be classified as:

  • Homam/Havan and Puja: It bestows blessing of God or planets to get relief from bad effects of that particular planet or planetary positions.
  • Daan: The easiest way to lessen bad effects of planets is to make donations that would please the malefic planets and redeem you from its effect.
  • Fasting: As per planetary positions and their effects, fasting on specific days along with chanting mantras with Rudraksha Mala removes the ill effect of the planet. It is recommended to combine this process of fasting with other remedies also.
  • Yantras: They act as a shield – Kavach against the ill impacts of planets. Prepared under the guidance of an astrologer.
  • Gems: Gems also ward off the evil effects of planets and rather, increases the positive results and benefits of the planet. Each planet is having a respective a gemstone to represent. But getting genuine gem is hard here.

Kaal Sarp Dosh Pooja:

An individual suffers from Kaal Sarp Dosh or Yoga when in the horoscope, all the seven planets namely Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Saturn are placed in between Rahu and Ketu. Rahu is considered the serpent’s head and Ketu is serpent’s tail.

Mangal Dosha Puja

In Vedic Astrology, Mangal Dosha occurs when Mars is placed in any one of 1, 4, 7, 8 or 12 houses, in the Horoscope and the rising sign or the ascendant is observed in the first house. Mangal dosha is also called as Kuja dosha or Bhauma dosha. It may cause delays and obstacles in marriage, career and in business.

It is the most detrimental when it comes to marriage and married life. Manglik dosha delays the marriage of a person and creates instabilities and conflicts in married life.



Remedy as advised by the astrologer is that a person with Manglik Dosh should only marry the other with Manglik Dosh too which would normalize the ill effect. This dosha or fault has different degrees. Some have strong Manglik dosha and other have mild. The milder dosha can be cured by prayers, poojas or chanting. Kumbh Vivah reduces the effect of Manglik Dosha in marriage as well as after wedding by a Hindu Priest.

Pitra Dosh Shanti:

What is Pitra Dosh?

The 9th house in person’s natal chart is considered the house of ancestors, fate & fortune. A conjunction of Sun and Rahu in this house and other planetary combinations indicates Pitra dosh which erases all auspiciousness from the house of luck. Pitra dosh in horoscope indicates that a person has not done enough for his ancestors or that they remained dissatisfied with him for some reason. Pitra dosh can also result when a family member dies in unnatural death or if someone has not offered his respects to the souls of diseased.

Effects of Pitra Dosh; it generally brings sorrow in the life of an individual in the form of money loss, household conflicts, lawsuits or inability to conceive a child and unusual difficulties on the career front. Ninth house indicate the luck and fortune of an individual but when he has this dosh, he could not see any luck at all.

Remedies; scriptures say, by satisfying our forefathers who are no more in this world, we can have blessings for happy and peaceful worldly life.

Those who are having the pitra dosh can do following rituals to minimise the effects.

Shradh pooja; doing yearly Shradh pooja to our ancestors or during pitra paksh or mahalaya paksh is the best remedy to minimise the dosh. Feeding the brahmin, dear and nearest relatives, friends is also very good gesture. During Shradh pooja treat the brahmin with due respect and offer them all hospitality as you would treat to your ancestors. You can offer them rice, lentils, fresh vegetables, fruits, clothes and Dakshina to take the blessings from them.

Pind Daan; cook a cup of jasmine rice and make rice balls, invoke your ancestors, and offer them with black sesame seeds with Chandan, tulsi, white flowers, honey, curd etc. After the pooja these pindas to be dissolved in the river or lake nearby.

 

Pitra Tarpan: Tarpan is the offering of water along with black sesame seeds to departed souls in the family. Priest will ask your lineage (gotra name) and ancestors name during this ritual. If you don’t know better to know beforehand. Water will be offered with sesame seeds to the deceased ancestor’s souls.
