Transit Planets (Finer Techniques of Prediction)

Let me invoke the Lord Uchchishta Maha Ganapathi and seek his divine blessings to all. I pray my father Shri N Selvaraj who was my first Guru and the guide into the astrological world. Then I touch the golden feet of my mother Smt. Nallammal who is my breath and soul. I salute Shri K.S. Krishnamurthy, the pioneer of the K.P. System, Shri Guru Ramasubbu of Dharapuram, Shri L. Duraiswami of Dharapuram and Dr K. Natraj of Oddanchatram for their blessings and support.

The influence of the planets during their transits make changes in the natives life. We can compare the life as a journey from birth to death and the natal chart shows the journey one has to undertake. The dasa and the bhukthi periods determine the nature of the journey, the comforts of the vehicle, the conditions of the road and the co passengers in our journey. The gochara determine the refreshments, rest, directions, deviation, guidance, cooperation and confusions that one experience on the way. The transit effects determine the changes that wait for the native in the curves of the road. The transit effects of the planets computed with reference to the degree wise placement of the natal planets will give the results more clearly and more specifically. In this book everything on transit has not been covered but a very fair account of the details are presented. With the grace of the God, the next volume on this subject is expected soon.

With the success of the English version of the Chandra Naadi, there have been requests from many quarters to publish the rest of my books also in English. And we are working on it. Srirangam Shri S. Balaji, my student and companion in my writings, is doing this job efficiently. May God be with him in his efforts?

The astrological savants use many systems in the art of prediction in Astrology like natal charts, Varga chakras, Horary methods, Dasa bhukthi effects etc., The techniques based on the transit of planets is one such prediction tool and invariably every astrologer uses this. The planets during their perpetual motions cast their influence and alter the course of the life of the native for the better or for the worst. The detailed study of the transits will help the erudite astrologer to decide what is going to happen next and when.

Thirupur Shri S. Gopalakrishnan, affectionately called as GK, has .thrown light on the secrets of the gochara and makes the prediction easy and exact. The finer techniques discussed in this book will guide the astrologer towards better and precise prediction.

I have been fortunate enough to bring this in English language and expand the horizons of the wisdom of Shri GK, across the language barriers. I am grateful to him for this golden opportunity. May him live longer and longer and spread new insights of astrology. I pray the Almighty and my mother Smt S. Lalitha Subramanian for guiding me through each and every stages of this writing.

We have used the North Indian system of charts also along with the usual South Indian style charts for the benefit of those who are familiar with that model.
