Depending on the earthly situation or grahabasthana of the birth time, the transmitting of the graph is accomplished. Conversely, forecast of astrological diagram absorbs an in-depth learning of the controls of unusual grahas or planets in dissimilar rashis or zodiacs.

DDifferences between Vedic Hindu Astrology and Western Astrology

The zodiac has been unspecified for stretching out in the shape of a fantasy circle on the planetary plane, surrounding the solar scheme like a fastening. In order to settle on the location of the grahas on the sphere of zodiacs, a set position point has been understood, centering that the wonderful corpses or grahas shift approximately. The clairvoyants of Vedic Hindu astrological structure measured a remote star collect as an inactive referring end, on the basis of the position of the planets or grahas is dogged. The fixed star bunch was in use with a conviction that it passes on the 1 of Aries, from that the Indian Zodiac signs set off. The Western Astrological structure also makes use of fixed orientation point; conversely, they are restricted in their postulation by allowing for equinoxes for that exacting reason. Astonishingly, analogous to Vedic Hindu astrological structure, Western astrological structure takes for granted Aries as the opening of the Zodiac signs. But the most important disparity occurs from the time when the Sun location on Vernal equinox is engaged as the 1 of Aries. On the other hand, there is no inconsistency or ineligibility in the implementation of this obligation since the Sun shifts 360 per annum. This structure has been referred to as Tropical structure of Zodiac. The divergences in the allusion summits do not question about non-validity of any of the structures anxious. In detail, it is achievable to receive the computation by taking away one from the other since the equinoxes modify their place about 1 in every 72 years outstanding to the incessant titling of the ground. The conventional astrologers of Vedic Hindu astrological structure be acquainted with this information; therefore they planned the concept of Ayanamsha in arrange to make easy the procession of the equinoxes. This is why Western astrological structure has been referred to as 'Sayan' that involves understanding with the procession of equinoxes, where Hindu Vedic astrological structure is recommended to as 'Nirayan' that involves understanding exclusive of the procession of equinoxes. There are a small number of important differentiations in this come up to in both the traditions. For example, in Vedic Hindu astrological system, the emphasis is given over Ascendant, the most important point of orientation and the first house in Horoscope, while in Western astrological system; the emphasis is given over the Sun, which is dwells in the central position.
UUnderstanding Karma in the Astrological Background

D'Dosh' & 'Sade Sati'

KAALSARP DOSH:
In Kaalsarp Dosh, all the planets are succumbed inside Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are considered to be shadowy planets but these are so powerful that the Sun, which combusts other planets due to its luminescence, is eclipsed by coming within 14 degrees from Rahu or Ketu and a solar or lunar eclipse results. In above situation Rahu & Ketu gives effect of Serpent Rahu as head and Ketu as tail and all planets squeezed inside the coil or kundali (horoscope) of this serpent thus does not give desired results.It is not like that every kundali (horoscope) having this situation is having Kalsarp dosha it also depends on degrees of planets. It is always advised to take expert advise if a person has this situation in his or her kundali (horoscope).
However it is important to note that in many cases all the planets come between Rahu and Ketu Axis, But still there is no Kaal Sarp Dosh formed in the Horoscope whereas one or two planets may be lying outside the Rahu-Ketu Axis in some horoscopes and a Kaal Sarp Dosh may still be present in the horoscope. Hence this defect can not be predicted on the basis of placement of all the planets between Rahu-Ketu axis alone, and the other important factors for the confirmation of this defect should also be checked and only then the presence or absence of this defect should be predicted. And once the presence of Kaal Sarp Dosh in a horoscope is confirmed, the first thing to consider is, which aspects of the person's life having Kaal Sarp Dosh in his horoscope are going to be affected, because even if Kaal Sarp Dosh is present in someone's horoscope, it would only affect some aspects of the life of that person and it does not affect every aspect of his life as there are many other planets also which are to be considered before predicting all the aspects of someone's life. After that the timing of Kaal Sarp Dosh is calculated, which would tell, at what time of his life this Dosh would gain its complete strength.
Effects of Kaalsarp Dosh: According to horoscope whenever the mahadasha or antardasha of Rahu and Ketu comes then Kaal Sarp Yog is more effective. And give many evil effects to person who is kaal sarp yog .At that time remedies or Yagya carried out with devotion are highly useful. Due to Kaal Sarp Yog the person suffers from diseases such as heart, eyes and ears trouble many times that cause loss of money. The person remains mentally disturbed from time to time. The financial position remains little fragile. There could be debts but these are paid back though with some difficulty. Goals can be achieved but after delays.
Remedies: Mansa Devi is an ancient and powerful Serpent Goddess, worshipped in different forms and names all over the world. The most important day of Mansa Devi poojan is Naag Panchami. She is also worshipped for protection from incurable diseases. So after this pooja or havan all the evil effects of kaalsarp dosh will remove.
GREH PRAVESH:On the day of the ceremony, house is cleaned and decorated with a garland of mango leaves, hung across the main doorway as a protective barrier against evil. Poles are erected outside the house around which banana leaves are wound and tied. Both the mango and the banana tree are considered auspicious, since they are symbols of fertility and prosperity.
It is laid down in the scriptures that the Greh Pravesh ceremony should take place at an auspicious time i.e. muhurat. One should consult the Pandit for the auspicious date and time for the ceremony.
Before entering the house, a ceremony called Vastushanti is performed. This ceremony aims to appease the gods and planets so that the owner of the house is blessed with good fortune. Like any other puja, this also begins with Ganesh puja, to remove all obstacles. The next ritual is the oblation to the Yagya (havan).
MANGLIK DOSH:According to Traditional Astrology, when the planet Mars is located in certain houses of the horoscope, it casts malefic influences on various life aspects of that person. A person having such an afflicted Mars status is known as a Manglik.
The name Manglik dosh means a Dosh or a defect caused by the effect of planet Mars. Manglik Dosh is found in the kundli or Birth Chart of the Native. A comparative analysis of the Birth Chart, the Moon Chart & the Navamsha is done to conclude whether a person is Manglik or not. Mangalik Dosh is formed when Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, 12th house of a birth chart of an individual. In Indian or Vedic astrology, cycles of time are broken down into planetary periods called Mahadasha. Each planet rules over one of these cycles, the length of time varies according to each of the planets. The longest is 20 years (ruled by Venus), the shortest is 6 years (ruled by the Sun). All together the aggregate of years is 120 (very few people live through the whole cycle). It is very useful to get a detailed reading of a mahadasha because it gives a more long-range view of what is in store, this is simply impossible for a yearly reading to do. Things could go very well one year and terrible the next. If you had a long-range view you could take advantage of the good year to compensate for the bad year that would follow. The cost for such a detailed reading is variable depending on the amount of detail you want. A Mahadasha is itself broken down into Bhuktis--sub-periods. So a detailed reading of a Mahadasha could include all of the sub-periods and major transits, or just a in-depth overview of the Mahadasha (without the Bhuktis). This would still be in much greater detail than could be done in a general natal reading. It is advisable that a Manglik boy or girl must always be married to a manglik partner only.
After doing the calculations it can be found that out of all the matches made in the world, 25% couples are a Manglik-Manglik couple, 50% of the couples are a Manglik-NonManglik couple and the rest of the 25% couples are a NonManglik-NonManglik couple. This would mean that the marriage of every second person on the earth is delayed and disturbed even to the point where the partner may die. And we are only talking about one concept named Mangllik Dosh. And there are other very powerful concepts like Kaal Sarp Dosh which can do far more damage than Manglik Dosh if it is strong. And taking into consideration all the other possible Bad aspects and Bad Yogas formed in an average horoscope, we can reach an estimate that 75% of the people on this earth are having great difficulties in getting married, their married life is very much disturbed and in the worst case their partner may die. Isn't this figure a bit too big too be true. Well, according to me, it is. So let's further analyze the actual scope of Manglik Dosh.
The bad effects of Manglik Dosh can be reduced with the help of astrological remedies which would generally include the application of Pooja, Mantras, Gemstones and Charities and these remedies are different for different individuals depending upon their horoscopes.
PITRU DOSH:Pitra Dosh is not a curse of the Ancestors, but it is a Karmic Debt of the ancestors which the person having Pitra Dosh in his horoscope is supposed to pay. In simple words a Pitra Dosh is formed in the horoscope of a person due to bad Karmas or bad deeds done by the Ancestors of that person and this person is supposed to pay that Karmic debt by suffering the punishments decided for those debts in different spheres of his life until the debt is cleared either by punishment or by the good deeds done by the person having this Pitra Dosh in his horoscope. So a Pitra Dosh in a horoscope does not mean that the ancestors are cursing the person having Pitra Dosh in his horoscope, but it means that the Ancestors of such a person are themselves cursed.
The difficulties created due to departed ancestors come in various forms as listed below:
But if soon after his birth within 27 days, if gandmool pooja is done then this child can be a very lucky one. This child brings glory to his parents and earns immense fame and money.
If any such child is born in your home, immediately meet any learned jyotishi and after showing him the Kundli get the gandmool pooja done. The gandmool pooja can also be done after the same nakshaktra is observed after the completion of 27 days. If you wish to know more about gandmool pooja or the way to pacify its effect you can contact the Astrologer.
