The Sri Jagannath Centre will be holding its second annual European conference on Hindu Astrology in August of this year. Set to take place at the renowned Sri Murugan Temple in Highgate, London, the conference aims to build upon the huge success of their Annual Asian conference which was held in Puri, India earlier this year. The Conference taking place in London this year aims to reach all those who have an interest in Astrology from the absolute novices to the most advanced researchers of the subject. In other words regardless of your level of understanding there will be something substantial on offer for all who have an interest in the subject.

None of the speakers will receive any remuneration for these talks and their costs of travel and stay will be covered to the extent possible.

Marriage Compatibility

Marriage compatibility is an important contribution of Jyotish to the world as only it can foresee any problems in the married life of a couple and can precisely determine which area shall the problem root from. This is done with kuta matching as enumerated by Harihara in his immortal classic Prasna Marga. However, it is not possible to match all the kutas and here we must appreciate that nothing in this world is perfect and we need to compromise at various places. Compromises may be made in various kutas, however it should not be made in the five important kutas namely vasya, mahendra, yoni, Janma Rasi and lord of the Janma Rasi. There are three more kutas, which are to be considered very important, viz., gana, dina and stree-deergha. Besides this the Brahmins should also consider Gotra Kuta. There are two kinds of Kutas, one which contribute points towards a 36 point scheme and the others that do not. The Kutas which contribute to the 36 point schemes are Nadi, Rasi, Gana, Graha Mait

Progeny in Jyotish II: Number & sex of children

-
Number of children 1. The number of children can be found out by counting the Navamsa gained by the 5th lord. For example, the 5th lord is placed in Virgo Rasi and Gemini Navamsa. Counting from Gemini (Navamsa) to Virgo Rasi [Virgo (6) - Gemini (3) = 3], we have four signs, i.e., the 5th lord has to gain three Navamsas to reach Virgo or upto three children should be anticipated (COVA- Page 190). This is however a crude method can can be used with care. Max. no. of child = Rasi sign – Navamsa Sign Pt. Rath says that, for this method to work, the 5th lord should be placed with the Jupiter (Karaka for Navamsa). However, from an illustration given in Page 200 of COVA, we see that this is not a necessary condition. Here Mars is not associated or aspected by Jupiter, but the Lagna is aspected by Jupiter from the 7th, through Rasi and Graha Drsti both. Here we might conclude that for this method to work, Jupiter should be strongly placed in the horoscope and influence the factors of progeny.

Badhakasthana & Badhakesh

Introduction In Prasna Marga, Harihara has given the analysis of an horsocope based on Badhaka point of view. He says that for all movable signs, the 11th house therefrom is the badhaka sthana, for all fixed signs, the 9th therefrom are their badhakasthana and for all the dual signs, the 7th therefrom are their badkasthanas. Thus for the 12 signs of the zodiac, the badhakasthanas are: In this method, the quadrants of the house of harm can also be harmful. This is based on the principle of Paraspara Karaka i.e. doing each other’s job when the planets/signs are placed in mutual quadrants. Paraspara Karaka means, you pat my back and I shall pat yours or you kick my back and I shall kick yours. The patting or kicking is dependent on the natural relationship of the planets under consideration. Thus if natural enemies are placed in the quadrants, they shall fight and when natural friends are placed in such position, they shall work with each other in harmony. From the placement
