If the planet of profit sits in the 11th house in its own sign, will a South-East entrance for the office be good?
Yes, it will suit, because the lord of the house of gains is swagrahi there.
With the Sun vargottam and Mercury and Jupiter exalted, which direction or work is best?
Also check which houses they rule. With an exalted Mercury, finance work suits; with an exalted Jupiter, knowledge work suits, such as vastu, astrology, tarot reading, college teaching and writing.
How are the degrees of planets read as child, young and old stages?
From 0 to 6 degrees a planet is a child, 6 to 10 a prince, 10 to 20 (up to 21-22) young with 100 percent power, 21 to 26 old, and 26 to 30 dead. A child planet gives the least result and a dead one gives none, whether it is exalted or debilitated.
Does a conjunction (yuti) work only when planets sit together, or also through aspect?
It also works through aspect. Sitting together and an aspect relationship both give the result, so Jupiter aspecting with its 5th, 7th or 9th aspect, or Saturn and Mars with their aspects, also forms the relationship.
If the husband's kundali is not available, can the whole interior be done from the wife's?
No. The husband's chart can be made from his thumb impression, from his palm, or as a prashna kundali, or the eldest son's chart can be used. Reading the palm also shows which direction suits him.
Are women given less importance when the house is read from the man's chart?
No, they are given full importance. The house is bought with the man's money, but its comforts are for the women. At griha pravesh the kalash chakra also checks the woman's rashi for the 4th, 8th and 12th positions, and women enter the house first.
Rahu sits in Taurus in the 11th house. What should be done for business profit?
Rahu is exalted there, so nothing needs to be done. Such a person gains more through shrewd tactics (sam, daam, dand, bhed) than through plain dealing. If the person stays sattvik, avoiding alcohol and non-veg and keeping tamasic food low, Rahu gives excellent results and can bring crores, provided its degree is good.
Mars is exalted but at 1 degree. What will it give?
It is in the infant stage, like a king's newborn son who has no power yet, so it gives only minimal results.
What should be done when Jupiter is exalted?
Give importance to the Ishaan (North-East), spend more time there and keep a silver mangal kalash. In the same way use the direction of every good planet with its colours, such as the South-East for a good Venus. If a planet is debilitated, use its direction as little as possible and avoid its colours.
The 10th lord Saturn sits in the 10th house in its own sign but is at 28 degrees and combust. What should be done?
It cannot give its good result because of its degree, so give it power. Power is best given by chanting its beej mantra; every planet has one, and the Jain and Hindu agams give different versions.
What result does an exalted Rahu at 10 degrees give?
A very good one. At 10 degrees it is young and fully powerful, so it can bring gains through speculation, the share market and administration, and even a sudden large windfall.
How should a chart be read if no planet is exalted or debilitated?
That is not a problem. See where the key lords sit: for example, a lagna lord in the 5th house shows that life progresses through children and knowledge. Check its degree and strengthen it. The lagna lord, 5th lord and 9th lord, if not debilitated, can be strengthened through their gems, metals, colours and grains for all-round growth.
What happens when a planet is retrograde?
A retrograde planet works at 100 percent power. If it is debilitated, it gives its bad result in full; if it is exalted or swagrahi, it gives its best result at full strength.
Why do railway porters always wear red?
Red represents Mars and the Surya swar and generates heat, fire and zeal in the body. With it porters lift around 80 kg without a slip disc, while an ordinary person may hurt the back lifting 10 kg, which is why the colour has never been changed at any station.
Why are hospital patients dressed in blue and green?
Both colours are antiseptic and healing. Blue cools the body and mind and helps eye, nose and ear problems, while green reduces swelling, detoxes and heals fast, which is also why eye patches after operations are green.
Why is a wrist watch worn on the left hand?
The left side is the chandra nadi and the right side the surya nadi. The surya nadi is for fierce or aggressive work, while timely and stable work belongs to the chandra nadi: shilanyas and griha pravesh are done in the chandra nadi at a fixed muhurta, so the watch, which keeps you on time, goes on the left. Also, in the vastu of the human body the left hand represents the North, where Mercury lives and where the clock is hung.
Why is sleeping recommended in the South-West or the South?
Sleep is an activity of Saturn, and Saturn is a friend of Rahu-Ketu, who rule the South-West. The South is the seat of Yama, before whom no one prevails. Sun and Saturn are enemies, so sleeping in the East brings husband-wife quarrels; only a king-like person such as a politician or minister can sleep there. Applying this friend-enemy logic of the planets to every activity lets you derive remedies yourself.
Is the blue quartz ball an amethyst or a blue chalcedony?
It is simply quartz. Quartz is basically colourless; minerals lying next to it leach in and give it colour, but its composition (SiO2) does not change.
Can quartz be hung?
Yes, quartz can be hung, just as chandeliers are hung. But do not hang the chandeliers sold in the market today, because they are mixed with lead, which is harmful.
Can these planet artifacts be used even when the birth chart shows no defect?
Yes. Without a dosh they simply add energy. Nobody would refuse if God offered an exalted Jupiter, Mars or Saturn in their chart, and decorating with the items that represent such planets raises energy in the same way. Energy never becomes so much that it causes harm; how the gain is used is the person's own responsibility.
Should golden yellow and white be used only in the North-East, or can the whole house use this combination?
The whole house can use it. The teacher has done a complete home interior in white and golden yellow, creating Gajkesari yoga throughout. When one colour combination is used in every direction, no dosh is counted.
How do we choose a direction when no planet in the chart is exalted and several planets sit in one direction?
First choose the direction of exalted planets. If none are exalted, go towards the direction where the benefic planets sit: Venus, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter are benefic, while Rahu, Ketu, Saturn, Sun and Mars are malefic. Then use the interior items, seed mantras, artifacts, statues, trees, colours and symbols, to strengthen the planets that are not exalted.
What size should a quartz ball be?
At least 3 inches in diameter.
Should the sandalwood be kept under the bed or inside it?
Use sandalwood (not silver) and keep it in the bed, under the mattress, so that it touches the wood of the bed.
What is an indoor chabutra like?
A chabutra is a solid structure built as a cube, with equal length, width and height. There are 24 kinds for different purposes; the general one comes from swar vigyan and balances the five elements of the house. It stands for the earth element, which belongs to the South-West, and once the earth element is balanced it balances all the others more or less.
