1-    Upapada

                                                                                              1-4-1 Jaimini sutras

The Sanskrit/Hindi term ‘Upa’ is comparable to the English prefix ‘vice’. Thus, the terms ‘Pada’ and ‘Upapada’ can be understood similarly to ‘president’ and ‘vice president’; we might even say ‘Pada’ and ‘vice Pada’ in English. Suppose the ascendant is considered the 'president,' with its Pada being the main Pada. In that case, we must identify which house, next to the ascendant, can govern the horoscope if the ascendant is weak or compromised. ‘Anuchar’ means a follower, the one who is next and can assume power in the absence of the principal. Upapada is also known as ‘Gouna Pada’; ‘Gouna’ is a Sanskrit/Hindi word signifying secondary status.

The Influence of Eclipses on Nations: An Astrological Perspective

Reproduced from EST October 2015

Eclipses, both solar and lunar, exert a significant influence on the zodiacal signs of specific places and countries. By using the formula I've developed to determine a location's unique zodiacal sign, we can gain significant insights into upcoming events within that country or region. This analysis is a powerful tool for predicting events, especially when used in conjunction with planetary transits and the annual horoscope of the country or place in question.

How Eclipses Exert Their Influence: The Rules of Engagement

The impact of an eclipse is determined by the house it occupies relative to the zodiacal sign of a specific location.

Uranus and Zodiacal sign of a Country

!!Uranus and the Zodiacal sign of a Country!!

The newly discovered planet has a significant role in mundane astrology. Some traditional astrologers deny its effect totally on the nativity as well as on the mundane affairs. But I experienced its major role in deciding mundane events, and I have no opinion regarding its effect on nativity till now.

It was discovered in 1781 by Herschel, and after him it was named Herschel. Most of us think that it was unknown to all till 1781, even the great seers of the Vedic era were unaware of this.

According to a Marathi author, Dr. P.V. Vartik, its existence was known to Maharishi Veda Vyas, the author of the ‘Maha Bharat’. His view is mentioned with a related verse with its application in his work, namely, ‘scientific dating of the Maha Bharat’.

Almost all Western astrologers consider its effect on nativity as well as on mundane affairs. Some Indian astrologers also accept its influence on the nativity as well as for mundane affairs.

Viyoni Janma: An Astrological Inquiry into Non-Human Births

The great Indian astrologer Varaha Mihira, in his classical work Brihat Jataka, suggested certain planetary positions that indicate the birth of a Viyoni, or a non-human being. The key combinations he presented are as follows:

Verse 1: "When benefics are powerless and malefics are powerful, and when impotent planets (eunuch planets: Saturn and Mercury) are in quadrants (Kendra houses), the birth must be foretold of objects that have a resemblance to the nature of the Dwadasamsa (D-12) occupied by the Moon at the time. Or, when under similar conjunctions the birth sign (ascendant) is aspected by impotent planets, the birth of Viyonis must be predicted."
