AIAC – A Look into Bhrigu Saral Paddathi

Introduction Saptarishis Astrology Research Team did a splendid job in their recent volume (volume 7) of the magazine. One of the key article series in all their volumes were Bhrigu Saral Paddathi (Bhrigu is the sage, Saral means easy, Paddathi means method). I wanted to summarize all the methods published so far and perhaps look at it in a different perspective. #

My attempt is to analyze the “Why” in the rules 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. Particularly I selected these rules since they deal with timing of events with respect to one’s age in life and that is of utmost interest to me. SA volumes had excellent case studies on the fructification of these rules and I would strongly advice the reader to have a look at the excellent case studies produced by the team.

BSP Rule # 6 The first point one should remember in this rule is that this rule will be applicable only for individuals who have a special status of Mars in their natal chart. The special status can be any of the following – 1) Mars in Ascendant 2) Martian Ascendant (Aries/Scorpio rising) with no planets in the Ascendant 3) Mars influencing the Ascendant 4) Mars influencing the Ascendant Lord 5) Mars exalted, in moolatrikona sign or in own house or retrograde or debilitated 6) Mars in a quadrant or trine Please read pages 368-374 of Volume 6 of SA before reading the below explanation. 27th year is the time period between the 26th birthday to the 27th birthday of the native. The influence of Mars at particularly near the 27th birthday is interesting since the natural age of maturity of Mars is 28 years (age of the native). Transit Mars covers an arc of 12H to 7/8H with respect to the natal Mars in the 27th year. If the 10th House from natal Mars needs to get implemented during this phase, then it would be 11H to 5H/4H from transit Mars. When transit Mars would be in the 3H from natal Mars, it would aspect the 10th from natal Mars by its 8th Aspect. When transit Mars would be in the 4H from natal Mars, it would aspect the 10th from natal Mars by its 7th Aspect. When transit Mars would be in the 7H from natal Mars, it would aspect the 10th from natal Mars by its 4th Aspect. The kind of influence that Mars can give would be Martian in nature – promotion, success at work, success in competition or wars or court cases, sports, building homes, energy to perform strenuous tasks. Martian energy can also signify sexual energy. In the negative connotation, it can give celibacy, separation, isolation, and tremendous failure in work, lack of progress, frustration and anger. Case studies of Salman Khan (Mars in Asc in Capricorn), Pete Sampras (Mars (R) in Asc in Capricorn) and Adolf Hitler (Mars in Aries with Venus) can throw light on the rule. Salman Khan couldn’t give a single hit after 1991 and his 27th year (Dec 1991-1992) was disastrous. Pete Sampras was the king of tennis till 1997 but in 1998 his career saw a sudden sweep motion downdards. Hitler got severely founded and had to take rest for the whole 1916 to recover (Mars activating the 4H) and did not join the force till 1918.

BSP Rule # 8 The first point one should remember in this rule is that this rule will be applicable only for individuals who have a special status of Rahu/Ketu in their natal chart. The special status can be any of the following – 1) Rahu/Ketu in Ascendant 2) Aquarian/Scorpio Ascendant with no planets (other than the nodes) in the Ascendant 3) Rahu/Ketu influencing the Ascendant 4) Rahu/Ketu influencing the Ascendant Lord 5) Rahu/Ketu exalted, in moolatrikona sign or in own house or debilitated 6) Rahu/Ketu in a quadrant or trine 7) Rahu/Ketu with luminaries Please read pages 676-740 of Volume 7 of SA before reading the explanation. 38th year is the time period between the 37th birthday to the 38th birthday of the native. Transit Rahu would be in the 12H from the natal Rahu in the 38th year. If the 6th House from natal Rahu needs to get implemented during this phase, then it would be 7th House from transit Rahu and conjunct transit Ketu. When transit Rahu would be in the 12H from natal Rahu, it would aspect the 6th from natal Rahu by its 7th Aspect. When transit Rahu would be in the 12H from natal Rahu, the 6th from natal Rahu would be conjunct transit Ketu. Ketu signifies houses, constructed buildings, banking, spirituality, detachment and understanding of matters beyond the obvious. On the negative, it might indicate lack of proper understanding, fanatic behavior, terrorism, blind-faith, hidden enemies, death etc. The kind of influence that Rahu can give would be sudden in nature – sudden shock (both pleasant and unpleasant), windfall of money, pleasure, lottery, celebrity status, glamour, greed and excess, ego and pride. It can also give victory over enemies and success in every avenue. In the negative connotation Rahu would indicate extreme depression, delay in all work, unexpected failure, critical and incurable diseases, tremendous growth in enemies and unimaginable opposition. Amitabh Bachchan (Ketu in Aquarius Ascendant) had excellent success and windfall of wealth in 1979-1980 due to the unimaginable success of Natwarlal and Dostana. This was also the time he was said to have his secret affair with actress Rekha. MJ (Rahu in Libra in 9H) had windfall of wealth and success in the 38th year due his album Blood on the Dance Floor. His album was the best selling remix album ever released.

Transit Ketu would be in the 10H from the natal Ketu in the 24th year. If the 12th House from natal Ketu needs to get implemented during this phase, then it would be 3rd House from transit Ketu and 9th House transit Rahu.

He worked there as a community organizer from June 1985 (his 24th year) to May 1988. This event was turning point in his life and he left very deep imprint on the minds and hearts of people with his public service. This move in his life which began in his 24th year of life worked in his favor to make him the first colored President of the United States of America. ©Ancient Indian Astrology Classes

BSP Rule # 10 The first point one should remember in this rule is that this rule will be applicable only for individuals who have a special status of Jupiter in their natal chart. The special status can be any of the following – 1) Jupiter in Ascendant 2) Jupiter as the Ascendant lord (Sagittarius and Pisces rising) 3) Jupiter influencing the Ascendant 4) Jupiter influencing the Ascendant Lord 5) Jupiter exalted, in moolatrikona sign or in own house or retrograde or debilitated 6) Jupiter in a quadrant or trine Please read pages 676-740 of Volume 7 of SA before reading the explanation. 40th year is the time period between the 39th birthday to the 40th birthday of the native. Transit Jupiter would be in the 5H from the natal Jupiter in the 40th year. If the 9th House from natal Jupiter needs to get implemented during this phase, then it would be 5th House from transit Jupiter. When transit Jupiter would be in the 5H from natal Jupiter, it aspect the 9th House from natal Jupiter by its 5th Aspect (Relative trine placement of natal and transit Jupiter). The 5th aspect of Jupiter brings blessings of past karma and is indeed a reward to the native for all the good done in his life. It gives joy from children, from students, from juniors and makes one loved, adored and famous. On the negative sense such an aspect would give the lack of all good things signified by the 5th aspect of Jupiter. Alan Leo (Jupiter exalted in 12H) was introduced to theosophy in the summer of 1889. Leo finally joined the Theosophical Society in May 1890. This was a blessing for him since it was started a chain of events which finally resulted him meeting his wife and starting the “Astroger’s Magazine”. Also, it should be noted that the magazine was a financial loss which had to be borne by Leo to bring out the knowledge. This shows the activation of the 4th, 8th and 12th houses. Sanjay Rath (Jupiter in Pisces in 1H) started SJC - US conferences with numerous students from 2002. This US trip gave him name, fame and spread the word of SJC in US and world-wide. This shows the activation of 1st, 5th and 9th houses in his chart.

It also indicates the time when luck smiles upon us and bestows her blessings. In turn it also makes one a Guru or a teacher.

Yogananda Paramhansa (Jupiter in Pisces in 8H in Rasi chart and in 9H in Bhava Chalit Chart) – On his 32nd year, he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour.
