Two videos on Lajjita and Garvita Avasthas have been added to the  Parashara’s Formula for Bhava Judgment Course.

Today I put up a short video on youtube on the value of embracing fate.

Today I am putting up the first videos for the new course on Judging the horoscope in a very concrete and predictive way using all five Avasthas from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. This is the master course on predicting with Parashara system of astrology. This course can be found at https://astrology-videos.com/courses/beginner-courses/parasharas-formula-for-bhava-judgment.

This course will take about 2 months to complete I think, maybe a bit longer depending on how many examples I decide to do.

One of my favorite things to do with prasna is to find lost or hidden articles. This is something that few people ever think of going to an astrologer for, though in the old days in both India and the west, seeing an astrologer to help find something was a common thing to see an astrologer for. So here is an example:

A few days ago a good friend of ours, Carol Allen, visited. She brought gifts for everyone and my gift was a box of chocolates. We cut up some chocolates, shared them with the kids. We did this in the kitchen. I then told my youngest twin, Kirika, to go and hide the chocolates in my office somewhere so that I would not eat them the next day when she was at school, so that we we could instead share them when the kids were home.

The next day while the kids were at school, Srishti and I got a deep craving for chocolate, so we went into my office and started looking for those chocolates. The date was August 14th, 2013 at 12:25 PM Prescott, Arizona. After a few minutes of futile searching I remembered that I was an astrologer, so I cast a chart for when we started to look for the chocolates. The first thing to determine in regards to a prasna chart about a missing, lost or hidden article is whether the article will be found. After that the astrologer needs to see where the article is, but even if the article location is determined correctly, if the Prasna chart shows that the article will not be found, it will not be found.

In the Prasna for the chocolate search, the 4th lord, which rules the missing article, was Saturn and it was in the Ascendant in Scorpio with the Moon and Rahu. Not good, Saturn is in an enemy sign with an enemy Moon and with Rahu, Rahu makes thing very tricky to find, it is the great hider. The moon also has a hidden side and that side dominates when it is with Rahu. Rahu and Moon also indicate trickery. So I knew my daughter had done a tricky job of hiding the chocolates and with the placement of the 4th lord, I did not think there was going to be any chance of us finding the chocolates. Furthermore, the lagna lord Mars was debilitated in Cancer with Exalted 5th lord Jupiter, which made me think I was going to be at the mercy of my child, Jupiter, who was strong, and not be able to do anything for myself, as Mars the Lagna lord was weak. It was looking like I was going to have to eat raw for lunch again, no chocolates likely.

But still, I wanted to find those chocolates, so I tried to find the location. The 4th lord and the lagna were in a fixed sign, this means the article is where it was last it was seen – which was the kitchen. I had told her to hide in my office, but now I suspected she had hidden it in the kitchen when my back was turned – pretty sneaky of her, totally Rahu/Moon conjunction in the Lagna. The 4th lord was in a water rasi, which is north, and the ruler of the 4th lord, Mars, was also in a water rasi, so it had to be in the north. Well part of my kitchen, the pantry area, is in the dead north of the house, so figured it had to be in the pantry. So Srishti and I ran to the pantry to look for our lunch. We could not find it, so I went back to the prasna and thought, okay, the Lagna is in Vishakha and Vishakha represents cotton fields and so we had to think of the closest thing to a cotton field in our pantry and then we would find it. There is a small closet in our pantry where we keep all the spare paper towels and toilet paper rolls, certainly the most cottony things in the kitchen, so I figured it had to be there and both Srishti and I had a good look in that closet, but we did not find it. At that point I decided to follow the indication of the prasna that we would not find the chocolate and that we would just have to wait until Kirika came home from school. When she did, she went to the closet with the paper towels and toilet paper and pulled out the box of chocolates. So the chocolates were in the same room as last seen, in the north, in the closest thing we had to a cotton field in our kitchen, only she had managed to cover up the chocolates by a bunch of bags in such a way that we did not see the chocolates under the bags, so just as the prasna indicated, we did not find the chocolates.

Obama’s 51st year Varshaphala does have the potential for a downfall due to saturn and mars joining the 5th cusp and the 5th rules fall from royalty, but will it happen? HIs Raja Saham, part of kingship is in Aries, a good placement. Its lord Mars has good pancha and dvadasa strength, so it is a good lord. It has the aspect of a friendly jupiter and the conjunction of a troubling Saturn. Saturn, however, is in great shape at 16 pancha and it rules the public 7th house. Jupiter is also in pretty good shape with high pancha and dwadasa strenghts. Jupiter is also the 10th lord, so very important. And it does have more friendly tajika aspects than unfriendly. It is not a great chart, could never become president with this varshaphala, but it is good enough to escape a downfall.

He will be running Sun/Ve in mudda dasa. Sun is strong and in Leo and rules the presidency. VEnus is the year lord and a decent planet as well. So the dasa timing is pretty good. In D60 Sun rules the 10th cusp and is placed in the first. Venus rules the D45 lagna and is placed in the lagna. So not a bad dasa either. with patyayini dasa he is running Jupiter Mars, which are in a seperating but friendly aspect to each other, so looks safe for obama.

Romney has his year lord Mars in the 9th with plenty of friendly aspect and mars is decent in Pancha strength, it is however, conjunct the 8th cusp and it is the 10th cusp lord, so not a great year lord. THe Muntha lord jupiter has less than 10 Pancha strength, not good. The raja saham as well as the punya saham are both in mercury’s sign and mercury is very weak in pancha strenth with just 8.7 points. Mercury has no friends, just saturn as enemy. He will be running Jupiter Mars in patyayini dasa during the election. Jupiter has a low pancha strength, mars is just mediocre. Not good enough to win an election. GOod enough to keep the office if he was already president, but not good enough to jump into the whitehouse.

Neither candidate has a great varshaphala, but Obama just needs to avoid a fall, he does not have to climb higher. So I think he will win based on varshaphala. But it will not be a great victory or a large margin. He will just keep his job.
