PUSHKAR NAVAMSHA PART I

Classical texts further classify these navamsha under Pushkara navamsha. According to Vidhyamadhaviyam Part I p. 30-31

“Mesh Simha Chapeshu Saptamnavamo, Vrish Kanya Mrigeshu Panchamtrityo, Mithun TulaKumheshw aashtam shashto, Karki keet Meeneshwaadhtrityo, Athe Pushkar Sangya Navamsha.”

There are only 24 Pushkar navamsha out of total 108 navamsha. Each Sign carry two pushkara navamsha .It means the possibility of a particular planet to be in Pushkar navamsha is only 22.2%.There is a direct link between nakshatra and navamsha. It is very significant that Nakshatra quarter is identified with navamsha. Both are not only of the same extent (3*20’) but their lines of segregation are also identical.

Result of Planet Placed in Pushkar Navamsha
Chandrakala Nadi Vol. II Part I p.12 –
Ravyadyo Griha sarve Pushkaranshe Prajaayte
Laxmi Katakshvaan bhogi dhanikah kirtimaan sukhi.

If all the seven planets beginning with the Sun (Sun to Saturn) are posited in Pushkara Navamsha, the native born earns much prosperity, enjoys all comforts of life, is very wealthy, illustrious and blissful. Position of more planets in Pushkara Navamshas is one more manner to assess the merit of a nativity.
Natural Significance(karak) of a planet will boost up if it is placed in Pushkara Navamsha. Take an example of Jupiter, if it is placed in pushkar navamsha the native will be more responsible, wealthy, religious, have force of attraction in his personality. Eg,.Amitabh Bachhan. If Venus occupy pushkara navamsha then it will give ability to understand Pros & Cons of a problem, material Development,
Luxurious life, Practical knowledge e.g., Indira Gandhi.

Are they equally good ?...
When I was trying to check the results of pushkar navamsha. Mostly the results are same as given in classical text like Deva keralam that is the karakattwas excel when the planet placed in Pushkar
Navamsha. But in some cases, results vary drastically and even result mention in classical text contradicts each other.
Take an example of sun placed in Aries Sign Bharani nakshatra third pada. In this case it is in thula navamsha (Neech navamsha) but yet in pushkara navamsha . According to many classical books Planets exalted in signs are if debilitated in Navamsha they give debilitation results.
Whenever Venus, Mercury or Sun is exalted in Chart and debilitated in navamsha they always are in Pushkar navamsha.

Depression and Moon

Recently there was news about suicidal cases of student who failed to perform well in their examinations. Such types of incident showed us that our progressive life is very difficult. In our daily life there is so much stress about everything. Stress is necessary as stress is one of the factors of promoting feeling of progression. If you do something perfectly you have pressure to perform the same thing again, but when this stress affect your performance negatively then it will create depression. World’s largest factor of disease is depression or stress. It’s not strange to see that the numbers of patients in developed countries are more than the developing countries or undeveloped countries. A father gives same toy to two children of same age, one child accepts it’s heartily and other child deny taking it and starting crying. There is no scientific or specific reason for our choices. If somebody like something it’s his choice. But Astrology helps us to predict the choices made by a person. “चन्द्रमा मनसो जातकः” Moon signify the mental strength of person. If moon is strong enough then the person can cop up with adverse condition with an ease. If lagnesh and Moon is well placed then role of circumstances is less effective. As deep rooted trees can face a heavy storm similarly people have strong lagnesh and moon can sustain in adverse conditions. Strength of a Moon is measured by different means, few of them are given below:-
1) Through Paksh Bala :- In a lunar month we have two cycles of moon. Waning moon (शुक्ल पक्ष) and Waxing moon (कृष्ण पक्ष). Moon is most powerful on full moon day (पूर्णिमा)and weakest on New moon day (अमावस्या).Moon gains strength day by day from new moon day to full moon day and then losing its strength from full moon day to new moon day. In between this period moon is quite strong between Shukla paksha Ashtami to Krishna paksha Ashtami. (When the distance between sun and moon is more than that of 4 signs.)
2) Planets effecting Moon: - Moon is the karaka of nourishment as well as of mother. The karakattawas of planet aspecting moon is nurture by moon in the native. Planets can be classified into three category a) Satwik: - Sun, Moon and Jupiter b) Rajsik: - Mercury and Venus c) Tamsik: - Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu. If moon is influence by Satwik planets then person is quite methodical. They are not bothered about the result of their action.
If moon is in the effects of Rajsik planets then person want to do a lot of things at a time. Money and Name will be predominant motive of this category.
If moon is influence by Tamsik planets then the person have resistivity to all actions. They have tendency to resist any idea whether right or wrong. They also don’t bother about public reactions (same as Satwik planets).

Aspect of different planet on moon can cause the following effect on native:-
a) Sun: strong will power, egoist and have the leadership quality.
b) Mars: Energetic, Aggressive and ambitious.
c) Mercury: Intelligent as well as intellectual.
d) Jupiter: Responsible, Curious, and Religious.
e) Venus: Luxurious, Intelligent, ambitious and Romantic.
f) Saturn: Detachment tendency, inferiority complex, wants to serve others, negative thinker.
g) Rahu: Fallacious nature, Cheater.
h) Ketu: Low self confidence, Religious, always think about nirvana.
3) Position of Moon: Position of moon can be classified into three different categories. They are :
a) Bhava positions: - Inauspicious in Trik bhava (6-8-12 bhava).

Dharma Bhava Artha Bhava Kaam Bhaav MokshaBhava
1-5-9 2-6-10 3-7-11 04-08-12

In above four categories if moon is placed in artha or kaam bhava then there are possibilities of getting depress, but other than that moon in artha and kaama bhava show progressive behavior. The rest two categories are good for religious and nirvana.
b) Sign positions: - Moon is generally good in all signs but Cancer, Taurus and Pisces are more favorable then others, but on tatwa basis we can classify signs into four groups :
Fiery (kshatriya) Earthy (Vaishya) Airy (Shudra) Watery (Brahmin)
1-5-9 2-6-10 3-07-11 04-08-12

In all four category natives under earthy (वैश्य) signs are quite possessive, and due to this behavior they are more prone to stress and depression.
c) Nakshatra positions: - Nakshatra can be classified under three different categories.(according to MANSAGARI)
Deva Nakshatra: - Person born in Deva nakshatra are charitable, intelligent and simple hearted, frugal eaters and scholars.
Manushya Nakshatra: - Arrogant, wealthy, big eyes and try to keep people under his control.
Rakshasa Nakshatra: - He will have extremely fearful appearance, be confrontational, lacking in love and a speaker of ruthless words.
In all the three groups of nakshatra the intermediate group (मनुष्य गण) is more prone to depression. Deva and Rakshas gana are determined to their functions and characteristics they generally don’t bother about others, but Manushya gana wants to make an impression on others so because of this propensity they are more prone to depression. There is no doubt financially Manushya gana and Rajsik planets combinations make native prosperous, but stress is mainly owned by this combinations.
Deva Gana Nakshatra Manushya Gana Rakshasa Gana
Ashwini Bharani Krittika
Mrigshira Rohini Ashlesha
Punarvasu Ardra Magha
Pushya Purva Phaguni Chitra
Hasta Uttara Phaguni Vishakha
Swati Purva Ashadha Jyeshtha
Anuradha Uttara Ashadha Mula
Shravana Purva Bhadrapada Dhanishta
Revati Uttara Bhadrapada Shatbhisha


If a person born in Deva Nakshatra with Satwik planets having an effect on moon then the person is motivated by divine forces. He will be egoless and intelligent person.
If a person born in Rakshas Gana with Tamsik planets effect then the native can show his negative side in front of people with an ease. They are quite practical and cruel. If person of this category provoked, will rise like a mad elephant. They do not believe in pomp and show.

Rakshas Gana + Rajsik planets or Manushya Gana + Tamsik Planets – Person can adopt wrong way to be rich and can create fake personality in front of people. Source of income may be illicit. They can do anything to be famous and rich. Positive side of this combination is they have strong will power.
