Therefore a debilitated planet can also be a benefic or even the most benefic planet in a horoscope whereas an exalted planet can also be a malefic or even the most malefic planet in a horoscope.

Welcome to the revised edition (September 2021) of Exalted Planets Part 1. When a planet gets exalted, it becomes very strong. However, exaltation of a planet doesn’t mean that such planet is benefic in nature. It can be benefic or malefic, depending on the overall horoscope in consideration. Exaltation of a planet is primarily a measure of its strength as well as its ease of operation, and not that of its functional nature in a horoscope. Vedic astrology lays various guidelines to decide functional nature of various planets in a horoscope. This book deals with exalted Sun, exalted Moon and exalted Jupiter. Benefic as well as malefic effects of these exalted planets have been discussed in each house of horoscope, along with relevant examples from horoscopes.

This book features a number of important Yogas mentioned in Vedic astrology. These Yogas include benefic Yogas like Harsha Yoga, Sarala Yoga, Vimala Yoga, Pushkal Yoga, Shrinath Yoga, Chatussagara Yoga, Lakshmi Yoga, Vasumati Yoga and Simhasana Yoga. They also include malefic Yogas like Kemdrum Yoga, Shakat Yoga, Dur Yoga and Daridra Yoga. In case of each one of these Yogas, its prevalent definition is given first. Then the additional conditions required for proper formation of the Yoga are considered. Finally, other important factors which may affect the good or bad results given by that particular Yoga are discussed. These factors include placements of planets forming such yogas in various houses, signs, nakshatras and navamshas. They also include influences of other benefic and malefic planets on them; the overall theme of horoscope and Mahadashas (planetary periods). For better understanding, relevant examples from horoscopes have been featured. This way; logical, balanced and comprehensive approach has been implemented in case of each one of these Yogas.

Welcome to the revised edition (2021) of Retrograde Jupiter Part 3. 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 Jupiter may produce results, which may be different than those given by forward-moving Jupiter. This book deals with the placements of retrograde Jupiter in the 7th, 8th and 9th houses of horoscope. Benefic as well as malefic effects of retrograde Jupiter have been discussed in each one of these houses in different signs, along with relevant examples from horoscopes.
