Graha Sambandha or Planetary Relationship In Vedic Jyotish

Graha Sambandha or Planetary relationship is the striking feature of Vedic Jyotish and it is somewhat similar to the concept of Aspect of Western Astrology. Without knowing and applying this unique concept of planetary relationship in the judgement of any horoscope it is very difficult to predict.

A careful reading of Brihit Prashara Hora Shaastra reveals that this Graha Sambandha can be categorized into two major parts 1. Major Graha Sambandh & 2. Minor Graha Sambandh and they are discussed below: 

Part (A)

1. Major Graha Sambandh

(1)  In ancient texts on Vedic Jyotish four types of major Graha Sambandhs or major planetary relationship have been given and they are described below:

(2)  Kshetra Sambandh: This is the strongest relationship between two planets and it is result givng combination. When two planets exchanges their signs e.g. Sun occupying Mesh rashi ruled by Mars and Mars occupying Simh rashi ruled by Sun. It said to be the strongest and result giving good or bad yoga between Sun & Mars. Any student native of Mesh Lagna having this combination gets success in education and any native of Kanya Lagna having this combination suffers from misfortunes as here it becomes Dainey yoga or he gets success in occult if this combination is present in his Vinshansh Chart (D20) with Vrish as his Vinshansh Lagna (D20).  

(2.1)Every learner and researcher should note that this Kshestra Sanbandh is further divided into two more parts 1. Two planets exchange their Nakshatra e.g. Sun occupying Swati Nakshatra ruled by Rahu and Rahu occupying Kritika Nakshatra ruled by Sun & 2. Any planet occupying its own sign in conjunction with other planet. Here it should be noted though it is a Yuti Sambandha or Conjunction but it becomes strongest and is taken into Kshetra Sambandh because a rashi or sign is also known as Kshetra in Vedic Jyotish.

(2.2) Thus Kshetra Sambandha is divided into three parts (1) Exchange of Sign between two planets (2) Exchange of Nakshatra between two planets & (3) Conjunction of two planets in a sign with either of the planet as a lord of that sign. If a maximum of 60 units as numeric strength is allotted to the Graha Sambandha then this Kshetra Sambandha gets 60 units as its numeric strength.

(3) Dristi Sambandh or Mutual Aspect: When minimum two planets aspect each other then they are said to be in Dristi Sambandha in Vedic Jyotish and it is possible when two planets has a difference of six signs from each others. Moon occupying Kark rashi & Mars occupying Makar rashi are said to be in mutual aspect. In Western Astrology this type of Dristi Sambandh is known as The Opposition Aspect and it is supposed to enhance clashes and tensions as per Western Astrology but in Vedic astrology it may also result in Rajyoga or a malefic yoga depending upon the overall structure of horoscope. This Dristi Sambandh gets 45 units of strength out of 60 units of strength.

(3) Adhisthisth Rashish Dristi Sambandh: When any planet occupying any sign receives an aspect from the lord of that sign but both of these planets should not be in mutual aspect then it is Adhisthisth Rashish Dristi Sambandh between two planets. Sun occupying Mesh rashi and ruler of Mesh rashi i.e. Mars occupying Makar rashi in any horoscope are said to be in Adhisthisth Rashish Dristi Sambandh. But Sun in Mesh and Mars in Tula rashi also indicate this combination but here everyone should note they are in mutual aspect. Saturn in Mesh rashi and Mars in Makar rashi also display this combination but here too it should be noted that under such condition Mars & Saturn exchange their signs and it will be Kshetra Sambandha. This Adhisthisth Rashish Dristi Sambandh gets 30 units of numeric strength out of 60 units.

(4) Yuti Sambandh or Conjunction: When two planets occupy a single sign then it is a Yuti Sambandha or conjunction. Here everyone should note planets occupying two different sign but in a single Nakshatra are also as effective as Yuti Sambandha e.g Moon occupying 28^O of Mithuna & Jupiter occupying 01^O of Cancer occupy different signs but in Pushys Nakshatra may also be treated in Yuti. So Yuti Sambandha of planets can be divided into three types (1) Rashi Yuti of Planets, (2) Nakshatra Yuti of Planets & (3) Ansha Yuti of Planets i.e. conjunction of planets in Divisional Charts such as Navansh Chart, Dashmansh Chart etc. A numeric strength of 15 units out of 60 units can be given to this Yuti Sambandh or Conjunction.

(5)  The aforesaid four major Graha Sambandha are useful to judge any horoscope in depth and various dashas are applied for their timings of fructifications and they are applicable to Antardasha of Planets forming Graha Sambandha up to some extent.

Part (B)

2. Minor Graha Sambandh

(1)         Besides the aforesaid Graha Sambandha there are five minor Graha Sambandha hinted in Brihit Prashara Hora Shaastra and they are 1.Kendra Sambandha 2. Trikona Sambandha 3. Tre-ekadash Sambandha 4. Dwedwadash Sambandha & 5. Shatastaka Sambandha. These Graha Sambandha display their results in the dasha of a planet forming Graha Sambandh in the Antardasha of other planet forming that Graha Sambandha. These types of Graha Sambandh are applied in Vinshottridasha up to a greater extant only. They are very useful and they are given below:

(2)         Kendra Sambandh:  When one Planet A is disposed 1^st, 4^th, 7^th or 10^th house from other Planet B then in the Dasha of Planet B the Antardasha of Planet A will display good results but if it is disposed in 7^th house from dasha lord and Planet A is found under malefic influence then there will be adverse results and in Western Astrology this is known as the opposition aspect giving rise to clashes & tensions. In Western Astrology (1) Single house disposition of two planets is termed as conjunction and it stands for focalising of energy, the disposition of Planet A in 4^thor 10^th house from Planet B is known as Square Aspect in Western Astrology and it is supposed to enhance challenging developments.   

(3)         Trikona Sambandha: Under aforesaid conditions as described in (2) of Part (B) if Planet A is disposed in 5^th or 9^th houses from the Dasha Lord Planet B then in the Antardasha of Planet A benefice results will occur and in Western Astrology this Trikona Sambandha of Vedic Jyotisha is termed as Triangular Aspect and it is supposed to be supportive one.

(4)         Tre-ekadasha Sambandhs: When aforesaid Planet A is disposed in 3^rd or 11^th house from the Planet B whose Mahadasha is going on and in the Antardasha of Planet A there will be some benefice results. In Sextile Aspect described in Western Astrology comes under this Triekadasha Sambandha of Vedic Jyotisha. In Western Astrology it is a supportive aspect.

(5)         Dwedwadash Sambandh: When in aforesaid condition Planet A is disposed in 2^nd or 12^th house from Dasha Lord Planet A then in its Antardasha in within the Dasha of Planet B will give adverse results. The Semi-Sextile aspect described in Western Astrology comes within Dwedwash Sambandha of Vedic Jyotish. In Western Astrology it is supposed to be somewhat favourable aspect.

(6)         Shastaka Sambandha: Under above condition if Planet A is disposed in 6^th or 8^th house from Dasha Lord Planet B then within this Dasha of Planet B and in tha Antardasha of Planet A there will be miseries and other unfavourable results. The Quincunx Aspect described in Western Astrology comes within Shastaka Sambandha of Vedic Jyotish and in Western Astrology this is supposed to be stress giving aspect.

Analysis Of The Horoscope Of Shailesh Bhatt By Vishal Aksh

(1)                     Today on Monday, November 3, 2014 for the benefit of learners & researchers of Vedic Jyotish I am going to analyze the horoscope of a gentleman Shailesh Bhatt who sent a post in my facebook public group on Sunday, November 2, 2014 containing his details required to cast horoscope and his query about the hurdles & obstructions appearing in the materialising of his marriage.

(2)                     The following is the picture of his post containing his birth details, query and his permission given to me to analyze & publish his horoscope on my facebook page & my blog in the comment section of his post:

(1)                     The following is the horoscope of Mr. Shailesh Bhatt:

(1)                     The following Mahadasha / Antardasha are found progressing in his horoscope in ‘dd:mm:yyyy’ format:

(4.1)         From 16/02/1992 to 16/02/2008: Mahadasha of Jupiter

(4.2)         From 11/08/2007 to 11/08/2023: Mahadasha of Jupiter from his Lagna Longitude.

(4.3)         From 06/09/2016 to 07/09/2026: Kaal Chakra Mahdasha of Jeeva rashi Dhanur ruled by Jupiter.

(4.4)         From 20/05/2018 to 26/12/2019: Kaal Chakra Antrardasha of Vrish rashi ruled by Venus in the Kaal Chakra Dasha of his jeeve rashi Dhanur rashi ruled by Jupiter.

(4.5)         From 10/02/2007 to 10/02/2026: Ashttotri Mahadasha of Jupiter

(4.6)         From 12/08/2010 to 12/08/2029: Ashttotri Mahadasha of Jupiter from his Lagna Longitude.

(4.7)         From 25/01/2016 to 05/10/2019: Ashttotri Antardasha of Venus in the Ashttotri Mahadasha of Jupiter from longitude of his Lagna.

(4.8)         From 22/03/2016 to 22/03/2025: Dwadashottri Mahadasha of Jupiter applicable in his case as a conditional dasha as his Navansh Lagna is Tula ruled by Venus.

(4.9)         From 16/02/2008 to 16/02/2027: Mahadasha of Saturn.

(2)                     The very first thing in his horoscope is to judge whether his marriage is promised or not as he is now 38 years old.

(3)                     In his horoscope the Lagna is Kanya, 7^th house falls in Meen rashi and 7^th lord Jupiter is placed in 8^th house being lord of his D60 Meen occupying inauspicious Shyasthansh Kantaka (Obstructions & Hurdles) and in his Rashi Chart this Jupiter comes under the aspect of natural malefic Saturn. This Jupiter is in conjunction with Sun and Venus i.e. a planet signifying his marriage also conjunct Jupiter & Sun in 8^th house under the aspect of natural malefic planet Saturn and this Venus is also a ruler of his Navansh Lagna Vrish & D45 Lagna Tula. So in his horoscope Badhaka 7^th house, its lord Jupiter & Karka of his marriage Venus all are found badly afflicted in terms of his marriage and it is a highly malefic yoga as his marriage is concerned.

(4)                     From his Lunar sign or Chandra Lagna Tula the 7^th house is occupied by Jupiter, Venus, Sun & Ketu and his 7^th house comes under the aspect of Malefic but yogakarka planet Saturn and this gives some hope. 7^th Lord from his Chandra Lagna is ruled by Mars but Mars is debilitated and it is in conjunction with natural malefic but yogakarka planet Saturn. Venus being Lord of his Chandra Lagna occupies 7^th house from his natal Moon by occupying auspicious Shysthansh (1/60^th) of Sudha and it is the natural karka of his marriage too. So from his Chandra Lagna or his Moon sign there is a possibility of his marriage.

(5)                     If comparing of what has been described under (7) & (8) is done it becomes clear that his horoscope reflects two currents flowing in opposite directions and whenever these types of situations occur in any horoscope then prevailing Mahadasha is the deciding factor. So various Mahadasha should be applied to those horoscopes to find the time of fructification of the events stored in those horoscopes.

(6)                     If aforesaid (4.1), (4.2), (4.5), (4.8), (4.3), (4.5) & (4.6) are considered then everyone can find that he is under the influence of Jupiter from 16/02/1992 to 12/08/2029. This indicates that from his 14 years of age to about his 53 years of age he is under the strong influence of Jupiter and as written under (6) that in his horoscope Jupiter opposes the metallization of his marriage.

(7)                     In his Navansh Chart the lagna is Vrish ruled by Venus and its lord Venus in conjunction with Jupiter and this conjunction receives aspect from another natural benefice planet Mercury. In his Navansh Chart his Chandra Lagna & Surya Lagna is Dhanur and its lord Jupiter is along with natural Karka of his marriage i.e. Venus and receives aspect from 7^th lord from Chandra Lagna & Surya Lagna in his Navansh Chart i.e. Mercury and it is another good combination of his marriage and the Kaal Chakra Dasha of Dhanur rashi in his horoscope is from 06/09/2016 to 07/09/2026 and by that time in his horoscope Dwadashootri dasha of Jupiter will start from 22/03/2016 to 22/03/2025. At this very point this Dwadashottri dasha of Jupiter in his horoscope gets support from his Jeeva rashi Kaal Chakra Dasha of Dhanur rashi. It indicates his marriage is likely to occur at any time after 22/03/2016 if not occurred before.

(8)   Antardasha of Kaal Chakra Vrish rashi ruling his Navansh Lagna in the Kaal Chakra Dasha of Dhanur rashi will be from 20/05/2018 to 26/12/2019 & From 25/01/2016 to 05/10/2019  Ashttotri Antardasha of Venus in the Ashttotri Mahadasha of Jupiter from longitude of his Lagna. So his marriage will occur at anytime within a period starting from 25/01/2016 to 26/12/2019 if not occurred before.

(9)                     After considering each and every points minutely it becomes clear that his marriage if not occurred before will occur at any time within a period starting from 25/01/2016 to 26/12/2019 and a period starting from 12/05/2016 to 12/05/2017 may also prove significant and failing which a period starting from 12/05/2018 to 12/05/2019 will prove relevant in this context. At present period up to 12/05/2015 may also give him some hope.

Remedies: (1) he should recite Ashwath Strotra under a pipple tree daily to remove ill effects of the unkind placement of Jupiter in your horoscope for several years

(2) He should recite following Vedic Mantra 108 times daily from any coming Friday to two years:

ओं आगच्छत आगतस्य नाम गृह्णाम्यायतः ।

इन्द्रस्य वृत्रघ्नोवन्वे वासवस्य शतक्रतोः ॥१॥

येन सूर्या सावित्रीमश्विनौ वहतः पथा ।

तेनमाब्रवीद् भगो जायामावहतादिती ॥२॥

यस्तेंकशो वसुदानो बृहन्निन्द्र हिरण्यमयः ।

                        तेना जनीयते जायां मह्यं धेहि शचीपते ॥३॥

Calculations Of नक्षत्र दशा From The Longitude Of Lagna

In Vedic astrology the नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha) calculations are made on the basis of the longitude of Moon. The planetary lord of the नक्षत्र occupied by the Moon at the time of one’s birth is the first दशा lord in all the नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha) such as Vinshottri, Yogni, and Ashottotri the दशा (Dasha).

Some astrologers opine that the main reason given behind it that in Vedic literature the Moon is said to be lord of नक्षत्र (Nakshatra ) that is why the नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha)  should be calculated from the longitude of Moon.

Other astrologers opine that this Moon primarily signifies mind and governs मानस कर्म (Maanas Karma) and these मानस कर्म (Maanas Karma) are strongest in all कर्म (Karma) that is why the नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha) calculations should be made from the longitude of Moon only.

In Vedic astrology the नक्षत्र (Nakshatra) occupied by Lagna also plays significant role. The lagna of, Bhansh chart also known as नक्षत्रांश (Nakshatransh) i.e. the 27^th part of a राशी (Rashi), is calculated by the longitude of lagna. This Bhansh chart is used to calculate the strength of a person. In other words if the लग्न नक्षत्र (Lagna Nakshatra) was found effect less and then there was no Bhansh chart in Vedic astrology.  

All the physical actions are performed by body and this body is represented by Lagna. It took approximately two hours to change from on sign to another one whereas Moon takes near about 2.5 days to shift itself from one sign to another sign. The lagna moves faster than Moon. Thus Lagna shifts from its occupied नक्षत्र to another one quicker than Moon. So it will be of no harm to calculate नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha) from लग्न नक्षत्र (Lagna Nakshatra) in addition to the usual calculation of नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha) from the longitude of Moon.

The following श्लोक (Shloka) is from the literature of ancient classical Vedic astrology is also found very much supportive in this context:

स्वजन्मनक्षत्रविलग्नतो वा ब्रूयात्क्रमणैव दशफलानि ।

दशावसानेष्वशुभं च सर्वे कुर्वन्ति सामान्यमिदं नराणाम् ॥

The meaning of above श्लोक is that the results of Dasha should be spoken after calculating Dasha from one’s जन्म नक्षत्र (Janma Nakshatra) i.e. नक्षत्र (Nakshatra) occupied by Moon and लग्न नक्षत्र (Lagna Nakshatra) i.e. नक्षत्र in which Lagna has risen at the time of one’s birth. The concluding periods of all the Dasha are generally adverse. 

So it is clear from above श्लोक (Shoka) that the नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha) should be calculated from the longitude of the Lagna too in addition to that of Moon. I think this is very useful clue that exists in above श्लोक (Shloka).

In my long experience in the field of astrology I have found that the नक्षत्र दशा (Nakshatra Dasha) calculated from the longitude of lagna is as important as it is calculated from that of Moon. Though the interpretation of this Dasha is somewhat more technical that is why a beginner may find difficulty in its interpretation in analyzing the horoscopes for the timing of events. Now I am giving some brief idea about the use of this Dasha calculated from the longitude of Lagna on the basis of my long experience in the field of astrology:

(1)                This judgment of this Dasha should be in the similar fashion as done in case of the Dasha calculated from the longitude of Moon.

(2)                If in any horoscope it is found that the Dasha calculated usually giving the results of any bhava for education, entrance into career first time or physical growth operates very much in late in one’s life but the Dasha calculated from the longitude of Lagna giving these results operates at an appropriate age than this Dasha calculated from the longitude of Lagna should be used for predictive purposes.     

(3)                If the Dasha / Antardasha calculated from both the ways support one another than that indicated events stored in horoscope bound to occur.

(4)                Whether both types of Dasha calculated supports each other or not if there is perfect agreement between Dasha calculated from the longitude of Lagna and the transit then the event indicated by the Dasha calculated from the Longitude of Lagna is bound to occur.      

(5)                This Dasha calculated from the longitude of Lagna proves to be helpful while conducting rectification of time.

Dasha calculation should be done from the longitude of Lagna too in addition to the dasha calculated from the longitude of Moon. Any prediction given on, this basis results in its fulfillment.

Analysis Of The Horoscope Of Sunita Sharma By Vishal Aksh

(1)                  On Saturday, July 5, 2014 a post from Sunita Sharma was received on the timeline of my facebook in which she wanted to know about the astrological solutions for the repeated disturbances in her married life because of her life partner and following is that copy of her post.

(2)                     The following are her Rashi Chart , Navansh Chart & Chalit Chakra: 

(3)                     In Her horoscope following periods are found progressing:

(4)                     From 17/05/2009 to 17/05/2016: Main period of Mars.

(5)                     From 04/10/2004 to o4/10/2020: Kaal Chakra Mahadasha of Vrishrashi

(6)                     From 07/06/2007 to 07/06/2017: Ashttotri Mahadasha of Saturn

(7)                     From 21/12/2007 to 21/12/2019: Ashttotri Mahadasha of Rahu from her Lagna Longitude.

(8)                     Analysis Of her Horoscope: In her horoscope Venus is the lord of her D45 Lagna and in main chart it is the lord of her 7^th house. It is totally combust and in her Chalit Chakra it comes to 2^nd bhava along with malefic Sun and forms conjunction with natural benefice planet Mercury and this gives her some problems and tensions with her life partner throughout her life in one form or the other. The Kaala Chakra Dasha of Vrish rashi has been started in her horoscope from 04/10/2004 to o4/10/2020.

(9)                     In her Navansh Chart Saturn being her Lord of Navansh Lagna Makar is in 6^th house along with 7^th lord Moon and this indicates her differences with her life partner. In her Navansh Chart there is malefic exchange between 4^th lord Mars & 8^th lord Sun and this is malefic Dainey yoga in terms of her married life and it does not support her smooth married life. The 7^th house in her Navansh Chart is further hammed in between two natural malefic planets Saturn & Mars further makes this combination malefic and another malefic planets Rahu aspect 7^th house in her Navansh Chart and the Ashttotri Mahadasha of Rahu from her Lagna Longitude has been started in her horoscope from 21/12/2007 to 21/12/2019 and Malefic Mars Mahadasha from 17/05/2009 to 17/05/2016. These display negative effect in terms of her married life.

(10)                     Her Navansh Lagna is Makar and its lord Saturn occupies 6^th house in debilitation in her main chart but in her Chalit Chakra it moves to 5^th house and it adversely aspects her 7^th bhava and 2^nd bhava occupying 5^th bhava in her Chalit Chakra. While aspecting 2^nd Bhava of her horoscope Saturn took the conjunction of Sun, Venus & Mercury into his malefic grip and this gives her life partner an instinct to disturb her by disturbing her kids by not spending finances on them (5^th bhava & 2^nd bhava affected by Saturn in her horoscope and ultimately makes her sufferer). In Ashttotri Mahadasha of Saturn has been started in her horoscope from 07/06/2007 to 07/06/2017.

(11)                     So to make her family life better with satisfactory relationship with her life partner she will have to recite following Mantra with full devotion for 216 times daily throughout her life:

ॐ सर्वाबाधाविनिर्मुक्तो धनधान्यसुतान्वितः ।

मनुष्यो मत्प्रसादेन भविष्यति न संशयः ॐ ॥

And she should also recite following Mantra for 324 times daily throughout her life with full devotion:

ॐ शों शोकविनाशिनीभ्यां नमः  ।

With best wishes and regards
