Moola Nakshatra

Stellar Astrology

Moola Nakshatra Characteristics, four padas, Leo sign Simha Rashi as per Vedic Indian Astrology

Moola means the root or the base. As without root, no plant can grow, similarly there has to be some reason or root cause for any thing happening in this world. This is the bottom line of all researches. Thos Nakshatra is significator of roots or vegetables like carrot, reddish etc which grow up as root. As the roots are not visible, it indicates hidden or buried secrets of one’s life. Moola Nakshtra is represented by the Goddess of destruction, i.e. Goddess Maha-Kaali  As Maha-Kali cuts the head of the demons, this Nakshtra gets connected to death of a life or end of an event or end of any other thing.

Moola Nakshtra is considered auspicious for both spiritual as well as material success. But at the same, it makes the native little arrogant and irony in behavior. Also, due to dual sign, such natives may get confused some times which way to go. The struggle of opting spirituality or material world may worry them. They have very high levels of intellect and they believe in reaching to the root cause of every subject they are interested in. They try to achieve high levels irrespective of how much time it may take. They are among the people who have firm ideas and they believe in quickly implementing their thoughts into actions but with proper planning and intellect. Moola born people have very fair possibility of achieving high levels of spiritual progress but at the same time such knowledge may be utilized for personal gains especially if there is Venus Navmansha. Under affliction, such native may misuse their powers for personal benefits.

It is highly auspicious to worship Goddess Maha-Kali along with God Ganesha in beginning of all works as her blessings ensure success. This Nakshtra has the capacity to take the native to top material position and finally quit it.  It gives high spirits to the natives.

Body parts ruled by Moola : It rules our feet. 

Natives born under Moola Nakshtra have prominent nose and thick lips. It belongs to butcher caste and so further gets linked with cutting of anything. Dragon's Tail (Ketu) cuts our bindings with the material world. Dragon's Tail (Ketu) cuts the emotional threads between the two people because any emotional binding is the main obstruction in our way of salvation. For example, unless we cut the roots of the tree, it may grow again; similarly people keep taking re-births because of emotional knots.

Moola is the neutral Nakshtra. It’s Tamsik and demonic in nature.  As it relates to cutting; knives, blades scissors, swords etc. come under this Nakshtra but natives of Moola Nakshatra do not harm others in achieving their goals and their work benefit the society. But, if people try to play politics or under-cut them, it will be very difficult to escape from their anger.

This Nakshatra gives top positions in life.  It is also known as king or lion or crowned ruler.  Magha, as the name suggests indicates big or great. So overall, we can say that Magha Nakshatra indicates the royal position, authority, power and high level of social status.

Magha is not ruled by God or devtas; it is ruled by Pitra (ancestors) and this Nakshtra is considered of demons hence it promotes enjoying of material luxuries etc.  It rules over past  and Pitra-Dosha (evil deeds done by our ancestors). The unknown or hidden problems are caused by Dragon's head (Rahu) & by Dragon's tail (Ketu). Magha Nakshatra is directly connected with our past or past deeds.  Unlike Ashwini Nakshtra, Magha Nakshatra is connected to this material world. So we have another side of the coin with us. People under influence of this Nakshatra will have more inclination towards material world, authority, position etc instead of having inclination towards spirituality. Native’s physical appearance will be more like a lion having round face, big nose, broad chest etc. and he / she will have very impressive personality.

HOW TO CALCULATE ASCENDANT

Ascendant and its mathematical calculation

We have understood by now that there are twelve signs and nine planets as far predictive astrology is concerned. For appreciating rising of different ascendant, we must remember the Sun sign first. Secondly we need to remember that early morning the rising ascendant is same as of Sun sign followed by other signs of the zodiac. For example:

It’s 17th of the April month. The first thing we should remember that Sun is in its exaltation status in Aries sign so rising sign early morning will be Aries only. While learning astrology, we will appreciate many times that most of things if predictive astrology are connected to Sun and Moon.

In the age of computers we do not wish to ask you learn un necessary mathematical calculations. But it is utmost important to know mathematical calculation of ascendant, Navmansha and other divisional charts. It helps a lot in predictive astrology.

To learn mathematical calculation, we need

1) Table of ascendants ( costing Rs. 50/-)
2) Lahiri’s Ephemeris of 2006 ( costing Rs. 60/-)


Q: Find out the ascendant for the native born at 0300 hours IST on 15th October, 2006, Delhi.

Ans.: please follow the easy steps

Step 1: The time given to us is IST and it should be first converted to local mean time

: hours minutes seconds

Birth time (IST) 3 00 00
Correction factor (-) 0 21 08
for Delhi (refer page
102 of tables of
ascendants)
_______________________________________________________
LMT: 2 38 52
_______________________________________________________

We can calculate LMT for any city referring the table.

Step 2:

To find out Sidereal time please open page 2 of the tables of ascendants. The sidereal time which is mentioned is at 82 ½ ˚ E longitude for 1900 A.D. You can see sid. time month wise for all 365 days of the year.

In our case, we need sidereal time for 15th October and it is:

hours minutes seconds
13 33 20

correction for year 2006 (+) 00 01 19
as mentioned on page
3 and 4
___________________________________

ST for 15th October 2006 13 34 39

ST correction for Delhi
As mentioned on page 102 (+) 00 00 03

____________________________________

ST for 15th October 2006,
Delhi at 1200 hours 13 34 42
_____________________________________


Step 3: As we know, the reference point of sidereal time is 1200 hours, and birth time is 0300 hours which is before ST, we need to subtract LMT from 1200 hours.

hours minutes seconds.

12 00 00

(-) 02 38 52

____________________________________

time interval 09 21 08
_____________________________________

please refer page 5

correction for 9 hours (+) 01 29
correction for 21 minutes
and 8 seconds (+) 03

____________________________________

09 22 40

____________________________________





Step : 4

ST for 15th October 2006,
Delhi at 1200 hours 13 34 42

(-) 09 22 40
_________________________________

ST at birth 04h 12m 02s
_________________________________

Step: 5

Open page 49 of table of ascendants. Latitude 28 ˚ 39’ north (Delhi)

4h and 12 minute reflects: 4s 13 ˚ 19’

we can neglect 2 seconds.

The above figure means the ascendant rising has completed 4 signs meaning leo ascendant is running at 13 ˚ 19 minutes

Step 6:

Ayanamsa correction for year 2006: (-) 0 ˚ 57 minutes

Planets All Details

ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PLANETS

 


There are six parts of our great Vedas. Jyotish Shastra or Vedic Astrology is the sixth part and eyes of Vedas. It has three main divisions so it is also referred as Skandatrya. Skanda meaning chapter and Trya means three. They are Ganit (Mathematics), Hora (Jataka or predictive) and Sahinta (Mundane). By addition of two more Sahinta, Preshna (Horary or query related) and Shakuna (Omens) it becomes Panch-Skanda.

Although our focus will always remain on predictive astrology but we can not afford to skip any subject without touching. It is very important to understand basics of Astronomy, mathematical calculation of Ascendant and Vargas and other related areas which are of great indirect help in predictive astrology.

PLANETS:

Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus Saturn, Rahu (Dragon’s Head) and Ketu (Dragon’s Tail)

SIGNS OWNED BY PLANETS:

The number 1 sign as you know is Aries and is Eastern side of the horoscope. This is north Indian style chart and number 1 box represent the Ascendant.

Sun is the Lord of Leo (5)
Moon is the lord of Cancer (4)
Mars is the lord of Aries (1) and Scorpio (8)
Mercury is the lord of Gemini (3) and Virgo (6)
Jupiter is the lord of Sagittarius (9) & Pisces (12)
Venus is the lord of Taurus (2) & Libra (7)
Saturn is the lord of Capricorn (10) & Aquarius (11)
Rahu and Ketu have no physical existence and have no sign lordships. Rahu & Ketu are Chaaya Greha or Shadowy planets.

Speed of Planets

Name of the Planet Average time a planet Total time a planet takes to
takes to change star sign complete one cycle of 360°
from Aries to Pisces

Sun 30 days 365 days
Moon 2.1/4 days 27 days
Mars 45 days 18 months
Mercury 28 days
Jupiter 12 months 12 years
Venus 29 days 348 days
Saturn 2.1/2 years 30 years
Rahu ( Dragon Head) 1.1/2 years 18 years
Ketu (Dragon Tail) 1.1/2 years 18 years

Maha Rishi Parashar has mentioned about Rahu / Ketu behavior in different signs in their Dasha periods only.

Exaltation (Uchha) and Debilitation (Neecha) of Planets

Planet   Exaltation sign        Debilitation sign          Deepest exaltation / debilitation degrees
    
Sun               Aries                       Libra                        10 degrees
Moon           Taurus                    Scorpio                       3 degrees
Mars            Capricorn               Cancer                     28 degrees
Mercury      Virgo                       Pisces                      15 degrees
Jupiter         Cancer                    Capricorn                  5 degrees
Venus           Pisces                     Virgo                       27 degrees
Saturn           Libra                      Aries                       20 degrees

Maharishis have not assigned any exaltation or debilitation signs to Rahu (Dragon's head) and Ketu (Dragon's tail). But learned people take Taurus and Gemini as exaltation signs of Rahu and Scorpio and Sagittarius signs as exaltation for Ketu. Debilitation is in opposite signs. 

When ever there is difference of opinions, we give first preference to the verdict of Maha Rishi Parashar. Maha Rishi Parashar describes their different states only while delineating Dasha results. We accept the same verdict.

Planet         Mool-Trikona sign          Mool-Trikona degrees                Own sign degrees

Sun                     Leo                                0 ˚ to 20 ˚                                      20 ˚ to 30 ˚
Moon                 Taurus                           3 ˚ to 30 ˚                                             n/a
Mars                  Aries                              0 ˚ to 12 ˚                                      12 ˚ to 30 ˚
Mercury            Virgo                             15 ˚ to 30 ˚
Jupiter               Sagittarius                      0 ˚ to 10 degrees                          10 ˚ to 30 ˚
Venus                Libra                               0 ˚ to 15 ˚                                      15 ˚ to 30 ˚
Saturn               Aquarius                         0 ˚ to 20 ˚                                       20 ˚ to 30 ˚

What do we understand by exaltation or debilitation or Mool-Trikona sign?

In general or literal meaning, an exalted planet or a planet in its Mool-Trikona sign or own sign is considered strong and auspicious and it gives good results especially of its significations.

A debilitated planet on the other hand is considered weak and in-auspicious and can not give good results especially of owned significations.

Inter Relationship of Planets

All the nine planets and this whole universe exist within us in micro form. We experience everything related to the nine planets on daily basis and we just need to connect our lives to the planets.

As such there is no friendship or enmity among planets and they represent different colors or characters of the universe. Our body is also made of Panch Mahabuthas (Agni, Prithvi, Vayu Jala, and Akaash) which are of opposite nature; still they exist as one physical form. Similarly characters of all planets are within our self but one or the other forms are predominant making different personalities.

We can proceed further on this subject matter as by now we have thoroughly understood the significations of nine planets.

How to find out inter planetary relationships?

Ans.: Draw a horoscope with Mool-Trikona sign of the planet as ascendant. From the ascendant,

2nd and 12th, 5th & 9th and 4th & 8th signs; and exaltation sign are considered as friendly signs by the planet in question.

Let’s take an example: Aries is the Mool-Trikona sign of Mars.

2/12 5/9 4/8 signs are friendly signs.

10 i.e. Capricorn is exaltation sign of Mars so it becomes friendly sign.

Inimical signs: 3/6/7/11

Interplanetary relationship:

As both signs of Mercury (3 & 6) are inimical, Mars consider Mercury as enemy. Venus is lord of Taurus (2) and Libra (7). Taurus is friendly sign but Libra is inimical so Mars considers Venus as neutral. Similarly, Mars considers Saturn as neutral. Mars considers Sun, Moon and Jupiter as friends. Please note that this relationship is perceived relationship of Mars only. Other planets may have different opinion or relationship about Mars which need to be understood by making similar charts of all planets.

The relationship as explained is called as Natural relationship of planets and is shown in the following table:

Planets       Friends                                           Enemies                                          Neutral

Sun             Moon, Mars, Jupiter                    Venus, Saturn                                 Mercury
Moon         Sun, Mercury                                   none                             Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn
Mars          Sun, Moon, Jupiter                         Mercury                                    Venus, Saturn
Mercury    Sun,Venus                                        Moon                                   Mars, Saturn, Jupiter
Jupiter       Sun, Moon, Mars                        Mercury, Venus                                 Saturn
Venus        Mercury, Saturn                              Moon, Sun                                  Mars, Jupiter
Saturn        Mercury, Venus                        Sun, Moon, Mars                                Jupiter

As we can see in above table that Sun considers Mercury as neutral but Mercury considers Sun as a friendly planet. Similarly, Mars considers Saturn as neutral by Saturn considers Mars as enemy planet.

We can also divide the nine planets in different groups:-

Group 1: Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Ketu
Group 2: Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Rahu

Moon is considered as neutral planet. Moon is like plain water and it can take any color under different conditions.

We will discuss the reasons for above relationship in detail in live class.

PANCHANGA - Vaar, Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karan

Vaar, Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karan put together makes Panchanga meaning five anga or parts.


1) Varsha (Year): There are primarily three types of years:-

a) Solar year : It starts when Sun enters Aries sign and is approximately of 365 days and relates to apparent movement of Sun in 12 signs
b) Chandra (Lunar) Year: It starts from Chaitra (lunar) month and Pratipada tithi of shukla paksha. There are approximately 354 days in a lunar year.
c) Brihaspatya Year: Brihaspatya means Jupiter and one Brihaspatya year is equal 12 months, the average time taken by Jupiter in a sign. It is also referred as Sanvatsar.

2) Ayana: There are two Ayana viz Uttrayana and Dakshinayan of 6 months each. When Sun transits from Capricorn to Gemini, the period is known as Uttrayana. And when Sun transits from Cancer to Sagittarius, the period is referred as Dakshinayan. Ayana is calculated from Sayana Sankranti only.
3) Ritu (seasons): There are six types of ritus or seasons in a year. viz. Shishir, Basant and Gresham in Uttrayana and
Varsha, Sharad and Haymant in Dakshinayan

Ritus (Seasons) Months
Gresham Ritu Summers June - July
Varsha Ritu Rains July - Sept
Sharad Ritu Autumn Oct - Nov
Haymant Ritu Early Winter Dec - Jan
Shishir Ritu Winter Jan - Mar
Basant Ritu Spring April - May

4) Maas (month): There are two types of months :
a) Solar Month is equal to Sun’s transit in a sign.
b) Lunar Month: Transit of Moon from a full Moon day to another full Moon day. There are 12 lunar months named as under :

Lunar Month Solar month
1. Chaitra Mar-Apr
2. Vaishakh Apr-May
3. Jyestha May-June
4. Aashadh June-July
5. Shravan July-Aug
6. Bhadrapad Aug-Sep
7. Ashwin Sep-Oct
8. Kaartik Oct-Nov
9. Margsheersh Nov-Dec
10. Paush Dec-Jan
11. Maagh Jan-Feb
12. Fhalgun Feb-Mar

Please refer Panchanga for better understanding

5) Paksha: There are two paksha of 15 tithis each in one lunar month viz. Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. Shukla means bright or white and Krishna means dark or black. Starting from Amavasya (no moon day) and up to Purnima (full moon day) is shukla paksha because kala or brightness of moon increases in this period. From the full moon day to no moon day, 15 days period is referred as Krishna paksha as brightness of moon decreases in this period.

In predictive Astrology, great importance is given to the strength of Moon in terms of paksha bala (paksha strength). In general a planet is considered strong when in exaltation stage and is found in similar state or in benefic houses in 16 divisional charts. But for Moon, the first importance is given to its paksha bala instead of exaltation. A strong Moon or a f
full moon makes the person mentally strong to sustain or protect what he gets through his destiny or Sun (giver).

6) Vaar (Day): As we know there are 7 days in a week viz. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday ….Saturday. It is good to know that sequence of week days have some sense behind and is explained as under:

Please refer the last page of first lesson wherein planet position is mentioned. Starting from Saturn as the outer most planet, next planet is Jupiter than Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon and finally we reach our Earth. Lets write it again in the mentioned sequence:

Saturn-Jupiter-Mars-Sun-Venus-Mercury-Moon

The first day of Săt Yuga i.e. the first day of Mahayuga starts from Sunday. As we know, there are 24 hours in a day; each hour or Hora is ruled by a planet starting from the same sequence as mentioned above. After Sun, second Hora belongs to Venus followed by Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, again Sun, Venus likewise till we count 24 Horas or hours. The day will finish after 24 horas and we enter into next day with 25th Hora. If you calculate, we get Moon as 25th Hora lord so Monday is the next day after Sunday. Likewise, please count further and we get 25th hora of Mars so Tuesday.

It is important to remember for predictive astrology that everyday starts with its own hora of 1 hour starting from Sunrise time. Remedies related to a planet gives best result if performed in its own hora or hora of friendly planet. If remedies (related to a planet) are performed in the hora of lord of sign of debilitation planet, it gives extremely poor results. For example we wish to perform remedy for Saturn on Saturday. Starting from Sunrise, the pattern is Saturn-Jupiter-Mars. This means third hora belongs to Mars who is lord of Aries, the debilitation point of Saturn. All remedies performed in this hora will yield negative results instead of positive. We will discuss about remedial measures in detail later.

7) Tithi: There are 15 tithis each in shukla and krishna paksha. One kala of moon is referred as Tithi.They are as under:

Name of Tithi Number Sangya Lord of Tithi
Pratipada 1 Nanda Agni
Dwitya 2 Bhadra Brhama
Tritya 3 Jaya Gauri
Chaturthi 4 Rikta Ganesh
Panchmi 5 Purna Naag
Shashti 6 Nanda Kaartik
Saptami 7 Bhadra Surya
Ashtami 8 Jaya Shiv
Navmi 9 Rikta Durga
Dashmi 10 Purna Yam
Ekadashi 11 Nanda Vishwadeva
Dwadshi 12 Bhadra Vishnu
Tryodashi 13 Jaya Kaamdeva
Chaturdashi 14 Rikta Shiv
Purnima or Amavasya 15 Purna Chandra or Pitra

Mathematical Calculation of Tithi:

Longitude of Moon – Longitude of Sun
Tithi = ________________________________

12 degrees

8) Nakshatra: There are 27 constellations or Nakshatra in 360 degrees zodiac each measuring 13 degrees 20 minutes. Abhijit Nakshatra is not used in predictive astrology but in Muhurata (auspicious time of a work) only. Each Nakshatra has four charana of 3 degree 20 minutes each. A native gets the first letter for his name on the basis of nakhshatra charana of Moon. They are as under:


Name of Nakshatra First letter of name (Naam-akshar) related to Nakshatra charan Nakshatra Lord

Suppose a native was born with Moon in Aries sign, 7 degrees 30 minutes. 0 degree to 3 degrees 20 minutes of Aries belong to Ashwani Nakshatra and its first charan. 3 degrees 20 minutes to 6 degrees 40 minutes belong to Ashwani Nakshatra and its second charan. 6 degrees 40 minutes to 10 degrees belong to Ashwani Nakshatra and its third charan. 10 degrees to 13 degrees 20 minutes belong to Aries sign, Ashwani Nakshatra and its 4th charan. As the native has Moon, 7 degrees 30 minutes, he is born in 3rd charana of Ashwani Nakshatra. The first letter of his name will be “cho”.

9) Yoga: The time taken to cover 13 degrees 20 minutes or 800 minutes by (both) Sun and Moon. There are 27 yogas which are as under

Vishkumbh, Preeti, Aayushman, Saubhagya, Shobhan, Atigand, Sukarma, Dhriti, Shool, Gand, Vridhi, Dhruv, Vyaghaat, Harshan, Vajra, Sidhi, Vyatipaat,
Variyaan, Parigh, Shiv, Sidh, Sadhya, Shubh, Shukla, Brahm, Ayndra, Vaidhriti.

Unlike Nakshatra, yoga is just measurement of time of distance only.

10) Karan: Half of a Tithi is called a Karan so there are two Karans in one Tithi. There are 11 Karans viz. 1) BAV 2) BAALAV 3) KAULAV 4) TAITIL 5) GARA 6) VAANIJ 7) VISHTI OR BHADRA 8) SHAKUNI 9) CHATUSHPAAD 10) NAAG 11) KINSTUGHNA The first 7 of these Karans are char or moveable so it cannot be predetermined on which dates these karans are going to occur, but the last 4 karans are sthira or fixed and hence can be predetermined. Sthira karan occurs near Amavasya or no moon day and are considered in-auspicious.

11) Ascendant or lagana: The rising sign in the eastern horizon at the time of birth of a native is called as ascendant. We will discuss in detail about lagna and its mathematical calculations late.
