This section will have technical posts, which are not for the casual reader. These posts will assume a very basic knowledge of vedic astrology, but to a complete beginner, it might be overwhelming.
I will start with relatively basic concepts and then write on more complicated matters and topics in astrology.
Consider these to be in order of learning the abc of astrology first and later, more complex topics and being able to look at one’s own horoscope will filter in.
The written articles are purely my own thoughts. They are, what I believe, condensed pages of relevant information for starters of this art. Rest assured, these are powerful summarized versions of knowledge from various texts of astrology. These include, but not limited to, Parasara Hora Shastra, Jamini Sutras, KP system, Jatak Parijata, Deva Keralam, Phaladeepika, Lal Kitab and others.
Over time, I have found that no one school of thought is completely comprehensive (Parasara comes close) and no school of thought is obselete in relevance either. They all converge at a definitive level of understanding.

sir i have send my query about .and looking for your answer { which is important for me}
I am sorry, I get 100s of requests everyday and I do NOT do personal readings. I have been clear about this for a long time
Sir,
Could you do an article on Paapa Kartari yoga. What happens when moon is surrounded by two two malefics on both sides. It is said moon and Saturn are enemies. What happens if moon is in Saturn’s sign and surrounded by 2 malefics on both sides?
actual brightness and shadbal and bhaav of moon will dictate the overall results
by itself, being surrounded by malefics and sitting in saturn;s house, the mind (moon) tends to be serious and occupied with tensions and stresses of life
Thank you!
How is the brightness of Moon to be determined, please?
Thank you kindly.
farther it is from the Sun, the brighter it is. simple as that. farthest is full moon – fully bright. New moon is 0 brightness
Dear Sir,
If you have rahu Sun and mercury in swati can Sun or rahu MD cause trouble in professional life. Please share.
Maybe
depends on the bhaav placement, strengths, yogas, ascendant etc etc
Dear Sir,
Mars is in vishaka nakshtra, pada 2 ruled by Venus at 24*. Here can Mars be considered as combust. Venus is in Scorpio at 23. Can you please let know.
Thanks, Vishwajit
if any planet is within 6 degrees of Sun, it will be combust. venus has nothing to do with combustion of other planets
Thanks for these lessons.
I am an intermediate in this field and have started reading your available lessons from start.
Do guide me in my astrological journey. Do advice if required. Thank you. “Pranam”
keep up the learning and the good work!
Dear Sir:
Wonderful lessons, I am a beginner and going through them one by one. In addition to your insightful posts, are there any other websites or videos you recommend? I deeply appreciate your sincerity and knowledge and not making Jyotish a big business.
With gratitude,
lanoo
thanks you for the nice words
Hello VS,
Hope you are doing good.
I must say that your website is the most concise, accurate and articulate material on vedic astrology in the whole web that I come back often after being confused by others. Hope you would write a book on Vedic astrology in future.
I had seen a video case study on your website a couple of years ago, but could not locate it now. Was it removed accidentally?
Thanks for the nice words Karthik
I do plan to someday write a book and have a youtube channel on this. Problem is that I am a full time investment banker and I have never gained a single cent from astrology. Even for this domain (website) – in order to keep it ad free and fully in my control, I pay around $500 a year with no benefit for me- just so that people who are interested can get good high level info free of charge
The traffic on this site has been typically steady over the years and is not too bad but not too high. If it goes high enough, I am happy to burn midnight oil to invest more time into a youtube channel etc, but at some stage I have to make money out of it else I cant pay my bills either. So all in all, to some extent it is upto you guys to show an enhanced demand for me to make this more of a full time job for me – which I will be happy to do as I have done this as a deep research interest since about 27 years now!
VS – We will try by spreading the word & encouraging family/friends/colleagues/neighbors/acquaintances to visit & learn from your website. But if you have other ideas you would like us to work on, please let us know. Thanks
