 Namaskar,
Many times people reach this website while looking for the meaning of Gajakesari yoga. Often, they write to me requesting a confirmation of this yoga in their charts.
Maharishi Parashara provides the following definition in the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra:
“Gajakesari Yoga. Should Guru be in a Kendra from Lagna, or from Chandra and be yuti (conjunct) with, or receiving a Drishti from benefic, avoiding at the same time debilitation, combustion and inimical Rasi, Gajakesari Yoga is formed. One born in Gajakesari Yoga will be splendorous, wealthy, and intelligent, endowed with many laudable virtues and will please the king.” (BPHS 36:3-4)
The most recent of such requests came from Mr. R., born near Patancheru – Hyderabad.
Dear Mr. R. In your chart Jupiter and Moon are in mutual Kendras, so yes, you have Gajakesari yoga. Although it is in the 12th house, retro Jupiter is exalted and Moon is in own sign, therefore it is not spoiled. You also asked my opinion in regards to marriage time frame; the aspect from retro Saturn (in MKS) is very strong plus vargottama, but thanks to exalted Jupiter’s aspect you may have a chance at 34 years of age, but it is most likely to happen at 37 years of age. Please do Shiva Lingam Abhishekam.
Best wishes,
Robert Dotel

 “Why do you use multiple charts to do a reading instead of one single chart?” people ask me frequently. I generally reply by explaining that different charts have different purpose for the reading and add “it is like using a microscope to look into the main chart”, the Rasi chart or D-1. Those additional charts are called Divisional Charts (Vargas) and are used to “look” deeper into a particular area of life. I use them in conjunction with the Rasi chart (D-1) when I need to gather more information from a particular area in question.
Maharishi Parāśara lists sixteen such vargas (BPHS Chapter 7, 1-8) and teaches how to use them in their specific area. Other authors, like Maharishi Jaimini, have listed more vargas, and there are many books on the subject.
The table below briefly describes the general area of life in which divisional charts are used; and no, I don't use them all in my readings. Most readings do not require such in-depth analysis, which is traditionally reserved for Kings.Continue reading...

This article was originally written for a private Jyotish discussion forum at ACVA. For this discussion the astrologers were to research a technique of superimposing two charts. The main subject was Compatibility and Kuta Agreements. My comments in regards to Arudha Pada (in green) were not included on the original post. I had mentioned this article to my Guruji Visti Larsen who had asked me to share it with him and I totally forgot until now (sorry Vistiji).

Contrary to what many believe, it is possible to be married and live in absolute celibacy.
In his Rasi chart the AL (Arudha lagna) is in Gemini, the UL (Upapada) is in Aries, and the A7 (Darapada) is in Taurus. In this chart you will find exalted Venus and might think that this is perfect for relationship, but a quick look at his Navamsha chart shows debilitated Venus in Virgo the 12th Navamsha. This is a cancellation of Raja Yoga and it gives renunciation/rejection of marriage. This also indicates that exalted Venus in Rasi shows pure bhakti (devotion). His devotion was so great that his parents became concerned about his mental health that they decided to get him married. Instead of rejecting this proposition, he told them where to find his bride. She was 5 years old and he was 23 years old when they got married. Traditionally they will live separately until she became an adult and it wasn’t easy for him to accept her to live with him when the time came. In his Rasi chart the 7th lord Sun is in the lagna conjunct Moon the 6th lord (the 12th from the 7th). The lagna lord Saturn is exalted and retrograde in Libra, and although it is in trines from the lagna (a good thing) its relationship with Sun is not a good one, therefore the initial rejection to her living with him, but this changed after seen her spiritual devotion and he agreed Continue reading...
