Possibilities of Second Marriage

In the present day situation there are many commercial, physical, financial reasons for a quck divorce. Men should understand that nowadays women are brought up  in a very much independent thinking with lot of education and much awareness. They watch movies liberally, they read newspapers they know about women’s freedom etc., but at the same time let us find out some common afflictions in the horoscopes which lead to separation and a possible remarriage.

• The houses that should be carefully studied for family union or separation are 2^nd, 7^th, and 11th in addition Lagnam and Venus. 2nd house signifies family, 7th house signifies the first spouse and 11th house signifies the second house.
• When the ruler of 2^nd and 12^th occupies the 3^rd house and is / or aspected by Jupiter or 9^th Lord, the native is likely to get another opportunity for a marriage since his first marriage may fail.
•  If Lagnam, 2^nd house and 7^th house jointly afflicted by the presence or aspect of more evil planets and at the same tome the ruler of 7^th has become inactive due to asthangatham or Neecham then there is every possibility of remarriage.
•  If ruler of 9^th is posited in 7^th, ruler of 7^th is posited in 4^th – another Kendra and sukasthana then there is a possible remarriage.
• If ruler of 7^th and ruler of 11^th are in Kendras or if they are seated in Konas and aspecting each other or even if these two have occupied a house together then they invite an opportunity for a remarriage.
•  If Mars, Rahu or Saturn occupies 7^th and 8^th houses without any aspects by a good planet then there is a possibility of loss of spouse. This may indicate second marriage.
•  If venus is debilitated either in Rasi or Navamsa or associated with a bad planet there is a possibility of remarriage. In this condition of the ruler of 7^th is inactive then there is no possibility of marriage at all.
• If both the 2^nd and 7^th houses are afflicted then there is possibility of loss of spouse thus creating an opportunity for remarriage.
• If ruler of 7^th is in dusthanas like 6, 8 or 12 while at the same time an evil planet like Saturn, Rahu or Mars occupy 7^th house, Venus in debilitated condition has associated itself with a natural benefic planet then there is a possibility of remarriage.
• If Venus is in even rasi and the owner of the house where Venus is seated is exalted then there is a possibility of second marriage.
• If Mars conjoins with Venus and has occupied 7^th house, lagnathipathi is in 8^th house and Saturn in 12^th house there is a possibility of second marriage.
• When the ruler of 7^th is in debilitation or in retrograde position when it is in exaltation he brings an opportunity for a second marriage.
• If the 7^th and 8^th houses are occupied by evil planets with no good aspects and at the same tome Mars is in 12^th house, the spouse will be lost thus bringing an opportunity for a remarriage.

I can hear the voice of people asking me if there are any remedial actions for this. We can do the following: 

1.  After the marriage is performed, visit an Amman Temple, remove the Thirumangalyam and deposit the same in the Hundy. Immediately conduct another marriage with a new Thirumangalyam in the Sannidhi.
2. Create a statue of a so called spouse, conduct the first marriage, finish all the marriage rituals and then dissolve the statue in the sea. After a gap go for a fresh marriage (Remarriage) with a spouse.
3.  In villages people still follow a ritual. They consider a plantain (banana) tree as a lady since it can give birth to another tree. They conduct a marriage with the tree, cut the tree, make it as if the first wife is dead and then remarry with a human spouse (only for men). Please see the logic behind it.
4. The best remedy is face the facts.

Badhaka Part III - Some Thoughts

I have given some more thoughts on Badhaka in this part.

One should always remember Rahu is the natural Badhaka. He owns the 11^th house. The 11^th house is the top point of Kama Trine (3, 7 and 11). In the chart of Kala Purusha, the starting point is Mesha. Rahu owns 11^th house. So for Chara Rasis the 11^th house is Badhakasthana. Move the Lagna (Starting Point) by one house in the clockwise direction.  So also move Rahu  by one house. You know Rahu / Ketu moves in the anti-clockwise direction. So move it in the reverse direction. Count the houses from Lagna. It is 9. So for all sthira Rasis 9^th house is Badhakasthana. Again move the lagna by one house. Move Rahu by one house in the reverse direction. For all chara-chara (Upaya) sthanas the badhakasthana is the 7^th house.

So we should know that Badhakam is mainly identified with the association of Rahu. It is nothing but the curse of Sarpa Deva. Do not imagine that people have obtained the wrath of Sarpa (Snake). If you find in the epics Sarpa is identified with Adhishesha. The Seat of Lord Vishnu who is the mother of all creations is Adhishesha. The one that sits on the head of Lord Shiva is a Sarpa. If you go to a Shiva Temple you will always see Lord Shiva in the form of Lingam (Nirguna Brahmam) is always seen with a Sarpa performing an umbrella posture to Him. This shows that our Hindu system has given a very important place to Sarpa Deva. If onegets the wrath of such important person, it clearly indicates that he incur the wrath of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva Themselves. Certainly he will face hurdles, obstructions etc., during the period of Badhakathipathi. The troubles will be more when

·         Badhakathipathi is in the star of Rahu.

·         Badhakathipathi is aspected, or conjoined by Rahu.

Generally Rahu, if placed in Lagna, 2^nd, 4^th, 5^th, 7^th, 8^th and 12^th houses it is identified as Rahu Dosha. When Rahu gets associated with Badhakathipathi the problems are more.

You may be knowing our ladies of yester years will be sprinkling milk for ant-hill (In Tamil we call it as புற்று மண் } which will normally be found in Kali or Mariamman temples during Fridays especially during the month of Aadi (Ashada) and Thai (Makara).

The following remedies are prescribed in old and traditional Astrology Books like Prasna Marga.

·         If Rahu is placed in 6^th, 8^th, 10^th or Badhaka houses Sarpa Bali as per prescribed texts are to be performed. This is normally done at Rameswaram.

·         If Rahu is in 4^th house installation of an image of a sarpa devatha is to be done in a Shiva Temple. This is also done at Rameswaram.

·         If Rahu is in 12^th house, arrange music and dance programmes during a festival at a temple.

·         Rahu in Lagna needs sprinkling of milk on a Sarpa deity or ant hill in a temple.

·         Rahu in 5^th house is to be balanced with a Thila Tharpanam at Rameswaram.

·         Rahu in second house is to be balanced with Abishekam to a Sarpa Deity at a Temple.

·         Rahu in 7^th house is to be balanced by arranging Dance programme and devotional songs at a temple during the Aadi or Thai months.

·         Rahu in Chara Rasi: Small eggs of gold or silver are offered to a Serpant Deity – symbolic of broken eggs.

·         Rahu in Sthira Rasi: Plant Trees (It is symbolic of destruction of ant hills and abodes of serpants.

·         Rahu in Chara Chara Rasi: Dedicate a small serpant made of gold or copper (Symbolic of killing the snakes).

Please note that if Rahu is in any way connected with Badhakesha the above remedies are compulsory as told in scriptures.

If Jupiter is associated with Badhakasthanathipathi and is placed in 6^th, 8^th or 12^th houses, and Rahu is in Kendrasthana to Jupiter, then the curse is to be identified from the superior serpents. If Gulika or Mandhi is in Kendra instead of Rahu then the curse is from inferior serpents.

If Sun is associated with Rahu, then the serpents are beneficial with an intention of doing a long term good if Serpent Deities are propitiated. For example Rahu is placed in Badhaka House aspects Sun. It shows that superior serpents will help due to some good karma of the native in a past birth. This may manifest in the form of learning subjects like Medicine, Astrology and Occult Sciences. It may also indicate that if the native start practicing yoga seriously he can achieve Kundalini Yoga.

On the other hand if Moon is associated with Rahu, it shows the intent of evil minded serpants to cause trouble and disaster.

Please note that the planets in Kendra to the Badhakasthanathipathi will always help the Badhakesha. If Rahu becomes Athmakaraka and if associated with Badhakathipathi it indicates that birth is due to the curse of Serpent Deities.

The sixth Lord in 9^th house or the ninth lord in 12^th house or the Sun in the Sixth House indicates the displeasure of Father. Similarly the sixth lord in the fourth house or the 4^th Lord in 12^th House indicates the displeasure of mother. If either of them is associated with Badhakathipathi, one should do remedial measures. One should serve his / her parents if they are alive. Or one should go to Kashi Kshethra (Varanasi), carry Ganga water in a pot, add Vilvam to that and perform abishekam to Lord Kasi Viswanatha for a minimum of 3 days, then perform Shradham in Gaya, donate new clothes to elders (male for father and female for mother), provide them food, give them walking stick, chapels, bed and pillow, a fan etc along with money and seek their blessings falling at their feet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please note that if one is not performing the pitru karma incur the wrath of dead people. If Sharadha is not performed for a soul, then the soul, according to Garuda Puranam, remains in the form of Pysasa and this affects the relatives. This is very well indicated by the presence of Gulika/ Ketu in the Badhakasthana. This is a great problem. The badhakathipathi will always cause catastrophic punishments to the native.

·         If Gulika / Ketu is in any manner associated with Mars either by conjunction or by aspect or by occupying the stars of Mars or placed in Mesha or Vrichika, the danger is sudden accidents, burn injuries, weapons or smallpox thus resulting in death,

·         If the association is with Saturn this indicates poverty and misery resulting in death.

·         If Rahu is associated with Gulika then the death may be due to snake bite or severe poison or suffering with severe pain before death.

The sign occupied with Gulika / Ketu identifies the pysasa sex and relationship also. If it is 4^th house or its Lord then it is not an outsider but a relative of the native. The Astothatriamsa indicates the age of the Pysasa. It is D108 division chart. If in the beginning it indicates young age and if near the end it indicates old age. One should follow remedial measures like Shradha in Kasi Kshethra – it should be Parvana Shradha, Tila Homa etc are to be done.

If Badhakesha is associated with Lagna or lagna Lord and Gulika it is a form of Drishty Badhaka. If Badhakesha is associated with 6^th or 8^th house or their lords it is another form of Drishty Badhaka. If Rahu / Gulika is associated with 4^th, 5^th, 7^th or 8^th house it is another form Drishty Badhaka. In such cases, one should look for an aspect of benefic planet. If such aspect is there, then wear the stone of the benefic planet. This will help.

BADHAKA PART II

In this second part on Badhaka we are going to see the effects of Badhakathipathi positing himself in various Bavas and what is the remedial measures that can be applied to reduce the ill effects of the same. Also we will see the remedies that can be applied for various all the nine planets who don the role of Badhakathipathi.

If badhakathipathi is in Lagna, one has to accept the expenses of making a Deity and give the same to a temple or someone who performs regular pooja. If the person cannot afford it, he should atleast buy a portrait of a Deity and give it to someone who deserve it.

• Well, a question will always crop up in the mind. WHICH DEITY? If the Planet is Sun then its Devatha Shiva. If the planet is Moon then its Devatha Gowri. If the planet is Mars then its Devatha Karthikeya or Narasimha. If the planet is Mercury then its Devatha Vishnu. If the planet is Jupiter then its Devatha Samba Shiva or Dakshinamurthy. If the planet is Venus then its Devatha Mahalakshmi. If the planet is Saturn then its Devatha Anjaneya or Ayyappa. If the planet is Rahu then its Devatha Kali or Durga. If the planet is Ketu then its Devatha Vinayaka.

• One may think that both Rahu and Ketu do not own houses. Ketu owns Vrichika and Rahu owns Kumba. One has to find out who is stronger among Mars and Ketu. He only owns Vrichika. Similarly one has to look for the strength of Rahu and Saturn. He only rules Kumba. There is a set of principles to be applied to find out the real strength of the planets and the same is to be applied.

If badhakathipathi is in second house to Lagna, then one has to chant the Gayathri Mantra or Moola Mantra of the Deity. If it is Sun 6,000 times. If it is Moon 10,000 times. If it is Mars 7,000 times. If it is Mercury 17,000 times. If it is Jupiter 16,000 times. If it is Venus 20,000 times. If it is Saturn 19,000 times. If it is Rahu 18,000 times. If it is Ketu 7,000 times.

If badhakathipathi is in 3^rd house one has to worship the Deity daily. This is must during the Dasa and Antar Dasa of the Badhakathipathi.

If the badhakathipathi is in 4^th house one has to support renovation of a temple.

If the badhakathipathi is in 5^th house, one has to give oil, clothes, flower etc to the temple. He also should support for Neivedhanam at the temple.

If the badhagathipathi is in 6^th house, one has to support someone who is sick and need help for medication. Also one has to donate or support a service orgabisation.

If the badhakathipathi is in 7^th house, one has to perform Kalyana Uthsavam at the temple and also arrange dance programmes to the Deity during some Uthsavam at the temple.

If the badhakathipathi is in 8^th house, one has to worship the Deity of the Tatwa of the planet. Sun and Mars are of Agni Tatwa. Venus and Moon are of Jala tatwa. Mercury is of Prithvi Tatwa. Jupiter is of Akash Tatwa. Saturn is of Vayu Tatwa. For Rahu consider that of Saturn and for Ketu consider that of Mars.

If the badhakathipathi is in 9^th house, one has to worship the Dharma Devatha of the native. This can be found from the horoscope.

If the badhakathipathi is in 10^th house, one has to perform a Bali Karma. Also one has to worship Ganesa and Subramanya.

If badhakathipathi is in 11^th house, one has to perform snanam in Punya theerthas like Ganges, Kavery etc. Offer Arthy at those places.

If the badhakathipathi is in 12^th house, one has to arrange chanting of Bagavatham in the temples by vedic scholars.

If Badhakathipathi is Sun, remedial worship can be in the form of Abishekam. 

For Moon it can be Abishekam with Conch and Milk and also Anna Dhanam.

If it is Mars: Laksha deepam.

If it is Mercury: Arranging Festivels and Dances.

If it is Mercury: Feeding Brahmins (Vedic Scholars) and priests and offering of ornaments.

If it is Venus, performing Vilakku Pooja, Feeding of Ladies (Sumangalies).

If it is Saturn, feeding the poor and oppressed persons.

For Rahu walking on Fire, Bali, Kavadi etc., Perfoming Archana with flowers in such a way that the Deity is submerged in flowers.

For Ketu, helping mentally challenged people and old persons staying in orphanage.

Badhaka - Part:1

Today I am going to write about Badhaka.

Who is Badhaka?

Badhaka is a harasser or a tormentor or a source of annoyance, distress and obstacle.

Sometimes we find that there is considerable obstruction to whatever we do. We are not able to get the satisfaction of completion of work. In short we feel that there is no accomplishment after doing some work. The fate seems to be playing a damaging role inspite of continuous efforts, prodding etc. The obstruction damages everything. This is the role of Badhaka. This can be of various forms from a simple irritant to terrible incurable losses.

Every sign has an obstruction (Badhaka) sign called Badhaka Rasi and its Lord is called Badhakesa. For all Chara Rasis the eleventh house is Badhakasthana and its ruler is Badhakesa. For all Sthira Rasis the ninth house is the Badhakasthana and its ruler is Badhakesa. For all Upaya Rasis the seventhhouse is the Badhakasthana and its ruler is Badhakesa.

Since Badhaka refers to obstruction, the best remedy to pray Lord Ganesha who is the removar of obstacles. The twelve names of Ganesa as given by Naradha Muni can be chanted before start of any activity.

The Lord of the 22^nd drekkana is the Kharesa and can cause Badhaka effects. This means he can cause obstructions and activate the badhakesa and other evils.

Harihara, the author of Prasna Marga gives two other theories for determination of the Badhaka Rasi. He says that for all Chara rasis the house of harm is always Kumba. For Simha, Kanya, Vrichika and Dhanur the house of harm is always Vrichika. For Makara the house of harm is Vrishapa. For Mithuna and Meena the house of harm is Dhanur. There is yet another view which states that the planets in Kendra to Badhaka rasi shall also be causing obstructions. But this view was not acceptable to many astrologers. This theory is based on the consideration that Kendra planets support each other. When it is Badhaka all planets will also do the obstruction.

When Sun or Moon is the Badhakesh, the person will loose his position of power or Job. He will be punished in the office.

When Mars or Saturn act as Badhakesh, there is danger to life due to accidents or atleast damage to parts of the body.

When Venus is acting as Badhakesh, the trouble comes from opposite sex, molestation, affliction or pain.

When Mercury plays the role of a Badhakesh, a contradiction or objection which is caused by a reasoning exercise.

When it comes to Jupiter the suffering will be on the happiness or intelligence.

When it comes to nodes Rahu and Ketu it is very serious. Exclusion from society, severe pain etc.

Badhakam or obstruction is caused due to the wrath of the deity also. The wrath of the deity is to be judged based on various factors.  The 12^th house from Atmakaraka is the place of Ishta devatha. The 12^th house from the Badhakesa indicates the past history of maintanemce of the deity.  If the Badhakesa is in an adverse place and afflicted, if a malefic planet is placed in the 12^th house from Badhakesa, then the indications are that the worshipped image has been mutilated. This brings the wrath of the Deity signified by the Badhakesa. Depending n the malefic planet or Upagriha involved, we can infer the following.

1.       If Gulika or Rahu is there it is the curse of a serpant deity.

2.       If Saturn is there then it indicates impurity.

3.       If Mars is there then it indicates bad management and the curse of Karthikeya and Badrakali.

4.       If Sun is there it indicates Lord Shiva.

5.       If Moon is there it indicates the curse of Durga.

6.       If Mercury is there it is the curse of Krishna or Vishnu.

7.       If Jupiter is there it is the curse of Samba Shiva.

This will be continued in Part 2….

Please Note that:

• Agni & Jala are considered as Nakshatra, Rasi and Loka Gantantha at Aswini, Asleha, Magha, Jyeshta, Mula and Revathi Stars. There is no bridging between Agni and Jala Nakshatras as thse are really junctions between different worlds - the three lokas. One has to leap to cross like a lion or a horse and sometimes they can fall and this will result in suffering. These three junctions are called Gantantha where ganta means Kandan - portion. This indicates that the best alone can survive. Anta means end. 
• At Purva Balguni and uttara balguni Tatwa Gantantha takes place between Agni and jala (between the stars) which indicates a fight between Celebacy Vs Marriage. Also between the stars a Nakshatra ganta takes place between Prithivi and view which will result in fluid loss and dryness.
• Between Swathi and Visaka again a Nakshatra Ganta takes place between Agni and Jala which indicates Marriage widow etc.,
• Tha nakshatra ruled by Ketu in the beginning of the agni signs and Mercury in the end of the Jala signs set in to Gantantha junctions. For this reason, the combination of Ketu and Mercury leads to breakage of bones due to a terrible fall or a natural disaster.
• The nakshatras that do not get subjected to Gantantha are that of Jala Planets Venus and Moon and Vayu Planets Saturn and Rahu.

Effects of Dasa Lords at various location

A planet can readily and easily fulfill its responsibilities and duties when it is posited in Kendras and Konas. It can do so only when it is in good status and well influenced. In such conditions it can be the main reason for the event or happening to take place.

At the same time when a planet is placed in a dusthana will have difficulties and constraints to fulfill its responsibilities and duties? However if it is placed there in a strong manner or well influenced, yes, it still can fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

A planet placed in 6^th bava, during its period, will make the native to face delay in getting results for his actions, make him to go into debt, or to overcome some enmity or health issues in order to get the results of his actions.

A planet placed in 8^th bava will bring some unexpected change, crisis or even death. A Planet in 12^th bava will make the native to spend more than required to get the results. The difference between 6^th and 12^th is that in 6^th, he will spend the money he do not posses but that of obtained on loan and in 12^th he will spend money earned by him.

Planets placed in 2^nd, 3^rd or 11^th require more care and efforts to help the native to see the results. Planet in 2^nd requires more responsibility and commitment, planet in 3^rd require more efforts and will power, and the planets in 11^th requires the native to fulfill certain objective before seeing the results.

While the position of the Main Dasa Lord is to be seen from the Lagna, the position of the Antar Dasa Lord is to be seen with respect to the position of the Main Dasa Lord. When ADL is placed in 6^th, 8^th and 12^th from MDL, the period will be definitely more stressful, difficult, challenging. But at the same time if the ADL is in good dignity and well influenced, some good results will happen. If ADL is at Kendras or Konas from the MDL, the flow of results will be smooth. At the same time for good results the ADL should have a good dignity and well influenced. Similarly the other dasa lords like Pratyandar Dasa Lord etc., should be seen with respect to the previous higher level Lord.

AS far as Rahu and Ketu are concerned, they always give the effects of the bavas they are placed in. This means that they give the effects of their Bava Lords and of any planets in the bava where they are placed. In their own Dasa, Rahu and Ketu will generally give the effect of their Bava Lords. But during Antar Dasas of any planets they have joined with, they give the effects of the planets they have joined with. During their Antar Dasas,  Rahu and Ketu will give the effect of their bava lords. However during the Dasa of the planet they are joining in, they give the effects of the planet they are joining. So to judge Rahu and Ketu for their effects during their dasa period, simply judge the effects their dasa lord as well as the planets they have joined with.

Generally the Dasa Period of the Planet which is friendly with the Lagna Lord will help fructify the intentions and actions of the native by supporting it. The Dasa period of the planets that are friendly with Moon of the native will help to strengthen the natives mind.
