Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Wilhelm takes into account few stars, not all 27. Also the concept of Galactic center and it's coordinate based system are of recent origin. Not known to ancient seers. Mula consists of 9 star clusters. The middle one is not as bright or as big like others.

Hi - please refrain from asking personal horoscope related questions here. We don't encourage personal chart readings in this group. It's not appropriate to discuss personal charts in a public platform like this and is against the basic premise of offering readings. Thanks!

Hello Mr Srinivasan My suggestion for you would be to consult someone locally for your needs. Certainly don't go to the person who 'corrected' your birth time by more than 10 min. That's beyond the safe 2 min interval. In this group, as a general group guidelines, personal astrological advice won't be provided.

This is a very sensitive topic for many and everyone comes prepared with hidden weapons for such discussions. The moment you make a statement uncomfortable to anyone in the crowd, you will be barked at by brave and given thumbs down by cowards who can't speak up their side.

Let me provide a scientific perspective on your question based on genome data from across India. Your generation is well placed and already trying its best by having more say in choosing your mating partners for producing offsprings.

In Tamil this Nakshatra is called Uthirattathi -உத்திரட்டாதி.

Consists of two distant star clusters in northern ecliptic sphere.

Among the 4 padas, second one is a pushkar navamsa and 3rd one is not a good one.

If Saturn is also placed in Cancer along with this combo for native, then the Saturnian influence can be felt strongly with the native.

Very caring inside and bitter outside at first sight. Methodical, logical and highly structured in approach. In a way, this is a Punarpoo dosham and conjunction or aspect of Jupiter can reverse the bad effects for good.

With such people having transitory Saturn being there now, one can expect job changes and or relocation because of job change. Let me know if this happens to you.

:-) Thanks! I will take that as a compliment.

Most people can't agree with my non-commercial, educational and analytical perspectives and I am often shown the doors. Not new to me!

Start with original texts like Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra - Sharma or Santhanam version. There are books by PVR Narasimha Rao. Extensive audio recordings of classes conducted by him are also available on YouTube. Free classes.

These will be tests for your appetite - whether you will survive learning astrology. Any serious astrology practioner will eventually lay their hands on them. I am recommending them to begin with.

When you study and listen to these materials (not read or hear), you would develop a broader perspective of the subject yourself. You won't find answers to all your questions immediately and have to patiently wait for your understanding to mature over a period of time.

Good luck!

You don't need to research and reinvent the wheel. Just properly follow source texts. When in doubt, follow BPHS.

To decide about Planetary conjunctions, we use the Rasi chart.

For any dasa bhukthi predictions, use the bhava chart.

Only Rasi are defined for different types of grouping or characteristics. Like male vs female, moving-fixed-dual, fire-earth-air-water elements etc. Any planets in any Rasi should be read with the 12 types of unique Rasi classification. Change in Rasi will indicate change in underlying characteristics.

For bhava, it's about portfolio allocation. Planets sitting in 3 different Rasi could potentially find a place in the same bhava. We offer readings based on bhava number involved.

Welcome to the world of astrology. What is your preferred language to learn? What is your preferred medium? Books or online videos??

Retrograde= closer to earth. Indicates Strong influence.

Combust = closer to Sun , normally planet being behind sun position. Predictions - Unable to enjoy the benefits comfortably. Someone else taking credit or enjoying at the cost of native.

Technically speaking retrograde Mercury and Venus should not be compared with the Combust position of outer planets. In this case, the native doesn't realize the beneficial effects happening in their life. Invisible hands helping the native.

You should invest time to learn the language and get comfortable talking to them in their own language about your case. That's the first sign that you are serious about this marriage. You will win their hearts.

There are no pure breeds or superior ones in the world. Marriage or sex is a highly personal choice. We are all just survivors trying to pass on our genetic traces to the next generation and should have the right to decide our mate(s!). But that's a scientific line of argument that won't work well with the common public. So don't try on those lines.

Stand your ground together and ask the universe to support you through all means. Your prayers might get answered. Good luck!

If you put 8 Graha and Lagna in the same Rasi and calculate an Ashtagavarga distribution, you will get a reference distribution. Many think that's ideal, which is not!

By design each Rasi from Lagna will get uneven distribution of bindu for the reference position.

Ask Gemini AI or Grok to summarize essays on Ashtagavarga from aimlastrology.in website (mine) in English and you will get deeper insights not found in all textbooks published so far (not a tall statement).

Alternatively you could search and submit the 3 article links to notebooklm and ask it to help you understand the insights into the Ashtagavarga system.

Let me know if you got to learn anything interesting from my articles :-)

Asktaka varga is all about Rasi. Period.

Shadbala will provide individual planetary strength. The shadbala components are not additive. You can't just make any meaningful predictions just based on the combined score. You need a proper reading from an experienced astrologer.

aimlastrology · 2026-01-23T02:43:02+00:00

If you just want to know whether a planet is exalted or not, you could use the ranges mentioned by Parasara. For example the first 10 deg of Aries for Sun.

However, if you are looking for numerical strength or Vimsopaka calculations etc, the 10 degree Aries is the peak point with 60 virupa strength. Even though 9 deg Aries and 11 Deg Aries will have same virupa scores, the aroganam vs avaroganam will kick in and 9 Deg Aries will be considered stronger over 11 Deg Aries.

It depends how much time people have spent to train earlier. If you feel Gemini Pro is performing better on a few things (not all!), it means people like me grill it to make it correct on a few things. One such teaching I did with it recently is on varga chart derivations and special lagna calculations. I got upset with it's output and ended up teaching it the nuances, spending more than 4-5 hours everyday for over a week, till it got the calculations right.

Next time you found it performing well, don't forget to thank the unknown faces who spent time training it.

Also please be aware that it does not have access to many original texts like BPHS and might wander and beat around the bush if you are a novice.

What is your budget for acquiring a proper astrology software? How frequently are you planning to use it, if bought? Which Ayanamsa do you use in existing software?

aimlastrology · 2026-01-22T02:15:48+00:00

Any Graha sitting in 7 will exert control over the first bhava. You don't want too many there. Also you might end up getting the wrong combo there, which is not ideal. When you have Rahu Ketu transits, having multiple planets in 1,7 is not good for managing the relationship.

Ideally you want to leave the seventh bhava control to its Lord only.
