Combust Moon Part 1

Welcome to the revised edition (2022) of Combust Moon Part 1. When a planet comes closer to Sun, more than a safer distance to be maintained, such planet may become weaker as Sun may burn out some of its strength. Such planet that loses some of its strength by virtue of being too close to Sun is called a combust planet. It means when such planet happens to be Moon, it is called combust Moon. Such combination of Sun and combust Moon can produce a wide variety of results in various houses of horoscope, depending on benefic/malefic nature of these two planets, their signs as well as nakshatras of placements, and on the overall theme of the horoscope under consideration. This book deals with the placements of combust Moon in the first three houses of horoscope. Benefic as well as malefic effects of combust Moon have been discussed in each one of these houses in different signs, along with relevant examples from horoscopes.

Welcome to the revised edition (2022) of Retrograde Mercury Part 1. A retrograde planet may not change its functional nature in a horoscope, in most cases. Hence if a benefic planet goes retrograde in a horoscope, it may still give benefic results. Likewise, if a malefic planet goes retrograde in a horoscope, it may still give malefic results. When a planet goes retrograde, it may undergo some changes in its style of working, rather than in its nature of working. Due to such changes in its style of operation, retrograde Mercury may produce results, which may be different than those given by forward moving Mercury. This book deals with the placements of retrograde Mercury in the first three houses of horoscope. Benefic as well as malefic effects of retrograde Mercury have been discussed in each one of these houses in different signs, along with relevant examples from horoscopes.

The Jewel of Annual Astrology is an encyclopaedic treatise on Tājika or Sanskritized Perso-Arabic astrology, dealing particularly with the casting and interpretation of anniversary horoscopes. Authored in 1649 CE by Balabhadra Daivajña, court astrologer to Shāh Shujāʿ – governor of Bengal and second son of the Mughal emperor Shāh Jahān – it casts light on the historical development of the Tājika school by extensive quotations from earlier works spanning five centuries. With this first-ever scholarly edition and translation of a Tājika text, Martin Gansten makes a significant contribution not only to the study of an important but little known knowledge tradition, but also to the intellectual historiography of Asia and the transmission of horoscopic astrology in the medieval and early modern periods.

Panchanga is an ancient vedic technique which has disappeared from current ptactice. It is used to discover the strength of the different sources of 'light' in the natal chart which show one's response to the challenges of life. This book shows how relevant this technique is to life.

You see how the change in the sign of placement alone changes the intensity of combustion of a planet to a great extent, even though it may be distanced from Sun by the same number of degrees in different signs. For example, the intensity of combustion received by Saturn at 10 degrees from Sun in the sign of Aries may be much stronger than the intensity of combustion received by Saturn at 5 degrees from Sun in the sign of Libra.
