India Vs Bangladesh: prediction using astrology

I am not a cricket follower, but I like it because it helps me study astrology. My friends, relatives feed me with questions about these matches. World Cup 2015 is no different. "Will XYZ win the match?" is a common question.

For such questions, here are the rules (simplified) as per Krishnamurti system.

1. XYZ is represented by the ascendant and the seventh house indicates the opposite team/player. The sixth house being the twelfth to seventh, indicates the losses to opposite team and hence the sixth house is of prime importance in the horary charts.

2. If the Moon is significator of the sixth house, the horary chart provides the correct answer.

3. Whether XYZ will win or not, is indicated by the sub-lord of the sixth house. If the sub-lord is significator of the sixth, tenth (house related to one's accomplishments) or eleventh (house indicating one's desires and gains) house, XYZ wins, otherwise it looses.

4. Other rules like rules for retrograde planets are applicable here too.

Three different people, at three different moments asked me, "Whether India will win in the quarter final match against Bangladesh?". Follows the analysis of the horary charts

Chart 1: 18/Mar/2015 16:01:00, Pune

Chart 1 has the Moon in the star of Mars and is significator of houses 1, 7, 5, 9, and 10. Since it's not significator of the 6th house, I told that I can not answer this question at that moment. Sub-lord of the sixth house is the Sun, posited in the star of Saturn, who is retrograde. So, if I had to chosen to answer the question, I would have answered that India will loose, which would have been a wrong answer. India did win the match.

Chart 2: 19/Mar/2015 10:41:00, Pune

Chart 2 has the Moon in the star of Rahu and is signficator of houses 2, 3, 5, and 10. Since it's not significator of the sixth house, again I did not answer the question. The sub-lord of the sixth house is Jupiter, who is retrograde and is posited in the star of Mercury. Since retrograde Jupiter is significator of 10th and 11th house, I would have answered (if chosen to answer) that India will win the match after Jupiter gets into direct motion i.e. after 9th April. A one day match would never have stretched that far and I would have been a laughing stock.

Chart 3: 19/Mar/2015 08:49:00, Pune

Chart 3 has the Moon in the star of Rahu, who is posited in the sixth house. Now I could answer the question. Rahu is also sub-lord of the sixth house and is also significator of sixth house. So, I answered that India will win the match. By the way, Rahu also indicated that the batsmen on both sides will disappoint. Indian batsmen lost wickets easily and Bangladeshi batsmen couldn't even cross 200.

This method doesn't help betting. If the person who is betting is bound to loose money, an astrologer can not predict the winner. So, if somebody asks whether XYZ will win or not with the purpose of betting, the horary chart will show the outcome of the bet and not the outcome of match. If the outcome of the bet and the outcome of the match do not concur, astrologer's prediction will be falsified.

Misplaced luggage: Moon's guidance

Horoscope is the map of ecliptic, the apparent path of Sun around the Earth at a given moment and place on the Earth. All the astrological planets appear to move in circles close to ecliptic. The horoscope is the map of moving planets with respect to the stationary stars on the ecliptic. A birth-chart is the horoscope at the time of birth of a given person. But a birth-chart doesn't help in answering all the questions. The astrologer uses a horoscope casted at the time of posing a query; such a chart is known as Horary chart.

Moon is considered to the significator of the mind. Moon's signification in the Horary chart indicates the thoughts in the mind of the querist. An astrologer is able to guess the question from the Horary chart, even if the queries doesn't verbalise it. An astrologer can answer the question correctly, if only the question put forth by querist and the Moon's signfication match. The querist always brings the question and the answer together; an astrologer only reads the answer. This principal when used cleverly helps answering the questions correctly. 

On 9th March, 2015, at 15:21, I got a question as follows. Luggage was misplaced during flight and had not reached its owner even after two days. The person was going to move to another city the next day. The luggage contained all the essential things like forex, eatables, clothes and so on. Obviously the person himselves and his relatives in India were anxious.  Nirayana Horary chart (see the note) at that moment is given in the figure.

The Moon is in the 6th house and is lord of the third and fourth house. It is deposited in the star of Mars is in the eleventh house and is lord of the seventh and twelth house. So the Moon signifies houses 3, 4, 6, 7, 11 and 12. The 3rd and 12th house indicate travelling abroad, 11th house indicates gains or receipt of things, 4th house would indicate possessions of the person i.e. luggage in this case. I did not understand what was 6th house doing here. Whether the person would get what he desires, is indicated by the sub-star of the 11th house. Venus, the sub-lord of the 11th house is significator of houses 1, 6, 11, 2 and 10 (last two because of Mercury, the lord of star of Venus). The sub-lord of 11th house doesn't signify 4th house, which indicates luggage, so I was about to answer that the person will not get his luggage back (at least while he is in the same city). But the fact that sub-lord of 11th house (Venus) and the Moon both signified the 6th house attracted my attention. The 7th house indicates the partner in any deed. In this case, it's the airline company. The 6th house indicates the things to be received from to the 7th house. The question here is not about lost luggage, but whether it can be obtained from the airline company. It became evident that I should be giving importance to the 6th house, rather than the 4th house. No book could have taught me that. So, with a little hesitation, I told that the person will get his luggage before Moon leaves the star of Mars on the same day. To the person's surprise, the luggage reached his hotel before he reached after the days work. The Moon posed the question and answered it as well. Don't they say that a question and its answer go hand in hand. 

Note: The question was asked by in-laws of the person travelling, so the Horary chart is casted by rotating chart by the 5th and then the 7th house.

Buying desired house.

It's very common these days to relocate to other city, state or even country for job, business. Easy loans make it even easier to own a house earlier in the life. But money alone isn't enough to buy a house in our dreams. Astrologer can help you in these matters by providing insights into the future.

Rohini had zeroed down onto a house that she had liked most, the location was good too. Money wasn't a problem. Obviously, there were other buyers in the game. On 5th January 2014 at 9:47 PM IST she asked me whether she would be able to buy that home.  Given is the Nirayana horoscope at the time at Pune (where I was located then).

Moon is in Jupiter's star and Jupiter is in the eleventh house, which signifies matters related to one's desires, likings and wishes. The cusp of the fourth house (which signifies matters related to one's house) falls in sub of Moon. Thus Moon indicates the question related to house one likes. That's the fun with the horary charts, that they indicate the query even though queriest doesn't verbalize it.

In Krishnamurti system, the sub in which the cusp of house in question falls indicates whether the answer to the query would be favourable or unfavourable. If the sub signifies the complementary houses and is situated in the star of planet in direct motion, the answer is favourable otherwise unfavourable. For the given horary chart, Moon is the sublord of fourth house and it is in Jupiter's star, thus indicating unfavourable answer. So, I told Rohini that she won't be able to buy the house. Further, the cusp of eleventh house falls in the sub of Saturn. Saturn is situated in the third house. Third house being the house before fourth, negates the fourth house. Hence the sublord of cusp of eleventh house negates the house, indicating the Rohini herself wouldn't want to buy that house.

"You wouldn't want to buy that house.", I answered after examining the horoscope.

"I liked that house and want to buy it desperately. How would then you say so?", Rohini was clearly confused by the irony.

"The horoscope tells me so. Go ahead and try buying the house". I was sorry to answer that way, but an astrologer is a mere messenger of the skies.

Rohini made her bid on 14th January and consulted the loan agent. Same day the loan agent pointed out that there will be problems in securing loan for that particular house. Rohini withdrew the offer within next hour. Because of my prediction, she was ready for the outcome and started searching new home.

From her birth-chart, I predicted that she would be able to buy house between June 2014 and September 2014. The timelines predicted from birth-chart can have a sway of about 2-3 months depending upon the accuracy of the birth-time. In April 2014, she proposed to buy a different house and settled in it by June 2014.

Lost and found: the astrology way

Easiest and most useful application of astrology is finding the lost objects. It's worth studying basic astrology, at least to find our own lost objects. This article explains the same with examples.

Method

There are quite a few methods of finding lost objects in various systems of astrology. I am explaining a method which is very simple and yet very effective.

Astrologer is to cast the horoscope at a time when he is posed a query about lost object using the place where the astrologer is (rather than where the object was lost or where the querier is). The Moon's position in this horoscope gives clues as to where the object is. The Moon's position is to be used as per the following rules -

1. Signification of the Moon - Since this is a horary chart, the Moon should be significator of the house which indicates the lost object. For example, second house if jewelry is lost, third house for lost documents etc. Usually the Moon himself is in house signifying the lost of object or Karka rules that house. If the Moon is not significator of relevant house, the horoscope can not be used for answering the question.
2. Moon's house - House where the Moon is indicates the place where the object is. For example, a Moon in fifth house indicates the children or the play house or a Moon in the twelfth house indicates the bedroom and so on. A chart here lists the places indicated by various houses.
3. Moon's sign (Nirayana) - Like Moon's house, its sign also indicates a place. Hence one has to combine both the indication to infer the right place. The sign also indicates the color of the enclosure if the object is hidden inside an envelop, bag, trunk or a room. The chart here lists the places and colors indicated by Nirayana signs. For example, for a Moon in Meena and twelfth house, both house and sign indicate the bedroom. In such a case, the object can be found in the bedroom near a water container or near fish-tank or inside a green bag.
4. Moon's star (Nakshatra) - Like the sign, Moon's star indicates the color of the enclosure. It also indicates person/s possessing the object or in some way related to the loss. The person or color should be inferred according to the properties of the lord of star.
5. Moon's navamamsha - This can be used to further clarify the place indicated by the house and the sign. It's signification is same as the signs.
6. The planets aspecting the Moon - The planets forming aspects with the Moon indicate the objects nearby the lost object. Such objects should inferred according to the signification and colors of planets as found in the chart here.

These six indications should be combined to predict the place where the lost object can be found. One has to apply common sense while coming to a final answer. For example, if the Moon is in Vrishchika the size of the gap or the trench should be decided based on the size of the lost object. The table below contains some examples.

Some statistics

I have total of 24 horoscopes for lost objects. Out of those, in 13 cases the objects were found and amongst those in 12 cases, they were found at the places indicated by the Moon's position.

We have not tackled the question of whether we will be able to find the object or not here. That's topic of some other article.
