I have been reading astrology books and periodicals since long. I was a regular customer of The Astrological Magazine published by veteran astrologer Dr. B. V Raman since 1985.I remember the days when Indian Council of Astrological Sciences was formed by him with chapters in various cities. I had also enrolled as its Life Member due to my interest in astrology. I still have the card as Life Member of Indian Council of Astrological Sciences(Life Membership No.737).I have always been a voracious reader. In those days I used to read books on astrology or spirituality. Fortunately I had a good memory and it helped me very much. Everyone of us has some problems and want to take help of astrology with the conviction that astrology can help us in mitigating our problems. My friends and colleagues asked me many questions and I always gave an reply very honestly to the best of my knowledge and belief. I was not a qualified astrologer and naturally I did not know technicalities of astrology. But some principle or some other hint published in The Astrological Magazine or in some astrology book helped me in answering their questions. Many of my answers started proving correct and thus I became an astrologer who charged nothing and was happy to help them on every Sunday/holiday. It was later in 2010, when I was transferred to Delhi that I started learning astrology from Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan, did Jyotish Acharya Course and also research under guidance of Shri Manoj Pathak .
About two years back I started typing important points read by me in astrology books/periodicals. Although I have typed them topic wise but some points are very general in nature which have helped me in giving predictions to the people who come to me for consultations. Some of these points are given below for the information of the readers. I hope these points will be helpful to them. All important points read by me in all these years stand underlined by me in books/periodicals. I intend to share all these points in my future writings.

75.In mythology we have story of Jupiter and Venus combining their energies for freeing all planets from clutches of Ravana. Hence combination of these two planets is of great importance in astrology and the house in which these two planets combine becomes very important e.g if this combination is in fifth house person may be very much indulged in hobby or any kind of self-expression. It is better if they are more than five degrees apart from each-other so that there is no conflict of their different nature. This combination also acts as great protector especially when Venus is strong (Venus knows Mritsanjivini Vidya).
76. Any house lord if a natural malefic and present in the 3rd house is benefic but it behaves like malefic if that lord is a natural benefic. These views have been expressed by Sh Radhakrishan Shrimali in his book “Jyotish Seekhiye”.
77.Any chart that has three or more planets sitting in pushkar navamsas promises outstanding success in career, provided the person gets right dasas at the right time. It is better if those planets are karka planets. Lords of kendra, trikona and eleventh house are called karka planets.
78.If lagna lord is a malefic planet ,still its position in any bhava will strengthen the bhava and would produce good results. If lagna lord is also the lord of 6th,8th or 12th house, the planet will mostly give results of the first house and not of the other house.
79.When the eighth or the twelfth house from the lagna or AK is aspected by the lagna lord or AK, the native is without wealth.
80.Mars and Saturn together in the second house cause loss of money. However, if this combination is aspected by Mercury, the native is extremely wealthy.
81.The Sun in the second house aspected by Saturn results in poverty. Any other aspect on the Sun, in absence of Saturn’s aspect, makes the native extremely rich.
82.Saturn in the second house aspected by Sun causes loss of wealth. However any aspect on such a Saturn, other than the Sun’s aspect, ensures a sound financial status for the native.
83. Malefic effect on second, seventh and twelfth from Sun indicate trouble to father
84.Sensitive degree in each sign are noted below. Aries-8,Taurus-9, Gemini-23, Cancer—22,Leo-5, Virgo-1,Libra-4,Scorpion-23,Sagittarius-17, Capricorn-20, Aquarius-21, Pisces-10. Any planet or lagna in sensitive degree of a sign indicates that the year of life indicated by the sensitive degree will be critical year in his life.
85.If the ninth house or ninth lord is afflicted/weak while the fifth house or fifth lord is strong or Leo Sign is potent while Sagittarius is afflicted; it may show a difficult incarnation in this life while overall good karma in store, to come to the aid of Jatak in future births. The learned reader should envisage the contrary situation by positing weakness and strength in exchange in the factors mentioned. The simultaneous strength of both with a supportive factor.
86.In any horoscope the association of the lords of the 8th or 11th house will destroy the biggest Rajyoga. The readers should also note that this law will become null and void if any planet with the rulership of 8th or 11th also owns an angle or a trine.
87.Malefic planets aspecting the personality indicators ,ascendant, Moon. and Sun, is a combination that is often seen in the charts of criminals.
88.Only malefic influences in the 5th house of intelligence from each of the three lagnas and Mercury, the planet of intelligence indicate problems in education/intelligence.
89.Now I want to discuss something specific about intelligence of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. First let me state what is written on page-75 of a book in Hindi named फलित विकास by a path breaking astrologer of Kanshi Hindu Vishav-Vidyalaya Shri Ramyatan Ojha.”बुध का पंचमेश शुभ ग्रहों के साथ उत्तम स्थानों में हो तो तर्कशक्ति अधिक होती है। बृहस्पति का पंचमेश उत्तम स्थानों में हो तो स्मृति शक्ति अच्छी होती है। शुक्र का पंचमेश शुभ युक्त केंद्र त्रिकोण में हो तो अर्थबोध की शक्ति उत्तम होती है। “
In Sadhguru’s Chart fifth lord from Mercury is Jupiter. It is in fifth house with a benefic Venus. Fifth lord from Jupiter is Saturn and it is in kendra. Fifth lord from Venus is also Saturn. Hence Sadhguru has marvellous logic, good memory and good sense of economy. I agree that Saturn is not with a benefic but it is vargottama, in its own nakshatra Anuradha and has Shadbala of 1.54.(Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, 04-Sep -1957 , 23.54 Hrs Mysore)
90. A person having connection between the first and eighth house/lord can die a conscious death.
91.According to a principle of sarvatobhadra chakra Jupiter looses its beneficence if having PAC combination with two malefics.
92.Seventh house connection with third or ninth house/lord has been found in cases of second or third marriage.
93.Even a malefic planet does no harm if in own, exalted , mooltrikona or in friend’s house. It is very important principal of predictive astrology which must be kept in mind
94.Mars, being a planet of aggression and stubbornness specially when afflicted plays an important role in afflicting the related houses and planets.
95.Any planet owning two houses—one good and another bad—if placed in a bad bhava will not give the effects of the good bhava.
96.It is generally considered that the strength of the 11th house should be more than the strength of the12th house, if one has to enjoy all materialistic happiness in life and have prosperity.
Similarly the strength of the11th house should be equal to or less than 1st house and lagna should be stronger than the strength of the 12th house.
97.If the ninth lord in the tenth house is associated in the tenth house with a volatile planet or is associated with Ketu it indicates early death of the native’s father.
98.If the ninth lord in eighth house is in any way connected to the twelfth lord then one will always be attached to materialistic pleasures and instant success in life.
99.Jupiter and Saturn placement at 1/7 axis always give very much delay in marriage and child birth.
100.In the horoscope of a politician, Saturn taking lordship of kendra or trikona houses aspect the kendra house/es ,then such leader has mass following.
101.All about brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law can be known from the 5-11 axis for elder siblings and 3-9 axis for younger siblings.
