Astrology Simplified - Saral Jyotish (Part-III)

This part of Saral Jyotish contains five topics - Bhandan Yoga, Upchaya House, Vipreet Raj Yoga, Dispositors and Shakat Yoga. These are fundamental, but indicate topics of Astrology and are used daily, by every Astrologer. This book demystifies these concepts and explains them in an easy-to-understand manner, with lots of examples. In-depth explanations and practical application of these topics can help an Astrologer strengthen basic concepts and predict correctly.

I thank all astrology lovers for liking the part 1 of Saral Jyotish with humility and gratitude. This has inspired me to discuss more topics of Astrology. I received many requests for discussing debilitated and retrograde planets.

On retrograde planets, I have conducted many webinars including one in Russian language. The students demanded to put them in book so that it can benefit more students. A very practical and deeper meaning of results of a retrograde planet is given in this book.

We have discussed the results and the principles of debilitated planets at length. All possible placement of each planet in debilitation for every lagan is given. We found that only about six percent of debilitated planet does not get cancellation of debilitation. About 94 percent of debilitation is cancelled. I have always emphasized that we should never be afraid of debilitated planets. They are capable of giving excellent results.

Important topic of Vargottam is also covered in this part. Vargottam planet needs a careful examination. Mere Vargottam position is not auspicious always. This book will show the correct approach and analysis of Vargottam planets.

We have dealt with two topics which create fear of bad luck in a chart. We have discussed that a single factor is not conclusive for giving results. It is the complete horoscope which should be examined. These topics are planetary war and Kemdruma Yoga.

I have tried to make Astrology as simple as possible but it is a vast science and perhaps the most difficult of them. I therefore term this book as Saral Jyotish. My sincere thanks to Mr. Sagar his support and good work done in timely publishing this book.
