DEDICATION

To Shri K.N. Rao,

who ignited in me the light of Jyotia.

Jyotia is the art of seeing light, of guiding, of counseling based on the truth called the horoscope. Jyotia is the pathway to God through the mazes of intuitions and the brilliance of an organized science, like any other science. Jyotia is the fusion of the divine with the mundane, the metaphysical with the scientific methodology, a divine chorus of the music of the heavens and the dance of the stars. It is that divine ballet, Jyotia, which is at once both divinity and science that we are presenting.

INTRODUCTION

We have all heard the expressions Money cant buy you love, and Moneycant buy you happiness. They are commonly accepted as truisms. While growing up I can also remember hearing the expression You cant take itwith you, referring to what happens to your money when you die. This also is obviously quite true. But the Chinese have the saying No money,no life, and if you were to speak to those who live in abject poverty, without at times the resources to purchase even the barest necessities of food, clothing and shelter, they would likely acknowledge the truth of this as well. The fact is that to have any kind of life that the majority of us want requires financial resources, which is why most adults around the world spend a good portion of their daily life working in order to make money.

Then there are the many who dont wish just to make a good living, but who dream and scheme and devote almost all of their time and energy to becoming rich. In the materialistic culture of the U.S. the pursuit of money, or chasing the almighty dollar as I once heard it expressed, is a major pre-occupation for a large segment of the society.

It is not at all surprising then that questions about money and finances are among the most frequently asked by individuals who consult astrologers, along with those about career and relationships. Questions about career and money are often tied together since success in ones career life usually results in better financial fortunes. These were the questions I encountered when consulted recently by a Russian woman of my acquittance whose chart is given above. She knew enough astrology to understand that she had entered her Ketu-Mercury period and wanted to get input about this dasha sequence, specifically regards career and income. Prara Hor instructs us that an astrologer should predict only after considering the time, place and circumstances of the individual.

In her case I was aware that she was a single woman in her mid-forties who after graduating from university had spent nearly two decades working in the travel and tourism industry in Russia. See the 10th lord Moon in the 9th house forming Kesari Yoga with the 3rd lord Jupiter along the 3-9 travel axis of the birth chart. Gemini and Sagittarius are also travel signs.

But she had grown tired of this and wanted to do something more meaningful so she decided to become a nurse and was now nearing the completion of a four-year course of study to qualify. Note that Jupiter is also the 6th lord of the healing arts in mutual aspect with her 10th lord Moon. Ketu, very closely conjunct the Moon and giving the results of this combination, had brought about this mid-life career change. She had only been able to work minimally while training which had drained her finances and put her in debt. Now she was about to graduate What lay ahead?

I had told her even before she moved into the Ketu major period some six years previously that it would give her a new and better position in life, and likely a better income. The basis of this prediction was partly the Kesari Yoga that Ketu gives the results of mentioned already, but also the nodal raja yoga formed by Ketu acting as a trine lord and the Moon as the 10th angle lord. Of course, Ketu would also give the results of its dispostor, Mercury, and it was now the Mercury sub-period. After examining her Mercury my answer to her question about what lay ahead was A goodposition and restored income.

As I have stated repeatedly in my books and articles, what gives Jyotia its predictive power is yogas and das. The former shows the static potential in a birth chart and the later activates that potential. Seeing what yogas, if any, a period or sub-period lord participates in provides the basis for a prediction. In her case I could see that Mercury gives some level of both a position-giving rja yoga and income-generating dhana yoga.

Mercury rules the 9th trine house and it is in a mutual aspect with Saturn, an angle lord and yogakraka for her Libra lagna. This creates rja yoga.

Saturn is also the 5th trine lord and its mutual aspect with another trine lord, Mercury, also creates dhana yoga.

I was aware that the previous Ketu-Saturn period had brought her some much-needed financial support from a benefactor which had allowed her to concentrate on completing her studies and not worry about generating income. I reasoned that Ketu-Mercury would be better this way because it had the greater source of strength due to its exchange with its dispositor, the 2nd lord Mars.

The fact that Ketu and Mercury were connected in her dama further supported her obtaining a position in the Ketu-Mercury period, though the lagna of this division could not be relied upon since the birth time is approximate.
