Introduction

        Your Vedic Astrology Report consists of 4 sections: an interpretation of the Moon nakshatra and Moon sign, an analysis of yogas, a third section that describes various specific astrological influences in your chart, and an appendix of technical details. Fortunately, you do NOT need to be an astrologer or know what a “Moon nakshatra” is to read this report! If you are an astrologer or student of astrology, the astrological details are described as well, and you can easily skip over these technical astrological details if they do not interest you.

        In this report there are quotations from the following books:

        “Yogas In Astrology” by Dr. K S Charak, 1999, published by UMA

        Publications,  72  Gagan  Vihat,  Delhi-110  051,  India

        “Three  Hundred  Important  Combinations”  by  B.V.  Raman,  1997,

        published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Private Limited,

        Delhi,  India

        “Constellational  Astrology”  by  Robert  De  Luce,  1963,  De  Luce

        Publishing Company, Los Angeles, CA, USA

        If you are interested in learning Vedic astrology, we highly recommend these 3 books. Only small sections that are relevant to a particular astrological influence have been quoted from these books. These works are based on the ancient Vedic writings (the Vedas) and have been elaborated upon and explained in terms that make sense for modern people. “Constellational Astrology” is no longer in print, but the other two books can be purchased.

        Important: The interpretations in this report are based on the ancient system of Vedic astrology. Many of these interpretations are fatalistic and some are even extreme, frightening, and are now known to be not literally correct! You should interpret the influences described here in more psychological and general terms. Do not take the statements given in this report literally! The extreme and definite interpretations in this report should be viewed as indicating psychological tendencies rather than absolute facts. Also, modern astrologers believe that there is a negative and a positive potential in any astrological influence. Even the most difficult astrological influence can be handled successfully, and an astrological influence that might seem beneficial can be mishandled. Astrologers do claim to be able to describe the important issues and themes in your life, but what is good or bad is mostly up to you.

Section I: The Moons Nakshatras and Rasi

Nakshatras are also known as lunar mansions. There are 27 nakshatras, and each one has a length of 13 degrees and 20 minutes. The nakshatra position of the Moon is very important in Vedic astrology. Given below is the meaning of the Moon’s nakshatra and Moon sign (rasi) in your chart.

Moon in 9th nakshatra:

The Moon is in Aslesha, the ninth nakshatra (16 deg 40 min of Cancer to 0 degrees of Leo). You are clever and know how to manipulate situations to advantage, but others may feel you are insincere or deceitful. Avoid being selfish because your style of doing things makes you an easy target for being labeled selfish and ungrateful.

Moon is in Cancer rasi:

According to De Luce: “The native will walk crookedly but fast, with his body bent (tenacity of purpose, especially when thwarted); the hips will be high (philosophical Jupiter exalted in Cancer); will be subject to the influence of women (feminine rather than masculine in nature); will be a good friend (inborn sense of universality). He will be versed in astrology and build a big house (“In my Father’s House there are many Mansions”). His wealth will increase and decrease as the waxing and waning Moon (he will be alternately generous and niggardly). He will be short and have a thick neck (restrained and obstructive toward assimilating the ideas of others), but capable of being won over by sweet words, as well as being a good speaker himself. Will be attached to his friends, and fond of water and parks (in rapport with Mother Nature).”

Section II: Yogas

You may be familiar with the word “yoga” as referring to various physical exercises and postures. The word “yoga” has a very different meaning as used in astrology and does not refer to physical exercises. The word yoga literally means “combination”. This section of your report describes important combinations of astrological influences that produce specific results.

Kemadruma Yoga

Kemadruma yoga occurs when there are no planets in the 2nd and the 12th house from the Moon.

According to Raman: “The person will be dirty, sorrowful, doing unrighteous deeds, poor, dependent, a rogue and a swindler.” According to Charak: “One born in this yoga is bereft of health, wealth, learning, wisdom, wife, progeny and mental peace. This yoga is said to reduce to a pauper even one born in a princely ambience. Such a native suffers misery, failures, physical illness and humiliation.” Remember that ancient Vedic interpretations are not literally true! Any astrological influence can also be positive.

Kemadruma Yoga cancellation, with Moon

Planets in kendra (1st, 4th, 7th or 10th) house from the Moon cancel the effect of Kemadruma yoga.

Vesi Yoga

Vesi yoga occurs when a planet other than the Moon is in the 2nd house from the Sun.

APPENDIX
