Financial Prospect

The Purusharthas or four pillars of life according to Sanatana Dharma are Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Each is as important as the other for the fulfilment of life’s objectives. That is from the standpoint of Dharma. Too much of anyone of these can tilt the balance and invite misery. However, from a spiritual standpoint, Moksha is more important than the other three. But the sages of India, in their vast wisdom, emphasised all the four pursuits equally. For an average man, average in terms of intelligence, abilities, potential as well as spiritual evolution, money becomes overwhelmingly important. And common-sense as well as life teaches us again and again money is dangerous. That is way the compassionate Rishis, aware of the limitations of the mind and flesh as well as the dangers of dangers of desire springing from them, laid equal emphasis on Dharma and Moksha along with the material Artha and Karma so that the average man while enjoying the pleasures of the world would be held back from going to extremes by the checks of Dharma and Moksha.

The wisdom of the ancient Rishis found expression in the different Vidyas they bequeathed to posterity. The Vidyas or disciplines derive their merit not for reasons of antiquity but for their role in making life more meaningful in today’s confused societal life. Astrology is one such legacy we have inherited from the Rishis. It is called Jyotisha Sastra and sheds light on all aspects of human life. It is a language in itself and reveals human life in astronomical terms. It is also synonymous with Purusharthas for it brings in not only Dharma, Artha, Karma and Moksha in its sweeping embrace but also shows where each stops in each individual life and how hankering for what is not within one’s reach can only bring in frustration.

The role of each Purushartha is identified in an individual chart by planetary groupings against the background of the twelve signs of the Zodaic. Certain planetary combinations in the chart emphasise the ethical and spiritual structure of a native, certain other highlight the fiscal features in his life and how far he may aspire for it. Yet, others concentrate on material enjoyment and lacunae in its acquisition, if any, and on all other aspects of life.

A sizeable section of astrological lore is related to dhana or wealth, one of the more important of the Purusharthas of life today. Of the twelve Bhavas or divisions of the Zodiac, the second house (Vitham or wealth), the fourth (maheepayaan-kshiti mandiraani or royal vehicles, lands and houses or influence), the ninth (bhagya or fortune) and the eleventh (akiladhanachayapnoti or accumulation of incoming wealth) have to do with Artha or material prosperity. That is although Artha was originally envisioned as having equal status with the other three objectives, today, in actual practice it gets four Bhavas out of a total of twelve Bhavas or thirty-three and one-third per cent of the total share of importance allotted to life’s various activities. This in itself shows how far-sighted and pragmatic the ancient Rishis were in judging and assessing human nature on which the whole edifice of astrological combinations is built.

Economical considerations outweigh all others. So much so, parents are, many times, more concerned with the financial future of the proposed groom than if he will be faithful to their daughter. But luckily, no competent and conscientious astrologer will comply with such specific requirements while comparing charts for matrimony.

Apart from an academic review of the relative merits of the Purusharthas, the importance of money cannot be under-rated. Astrological literature carries countless combinations for judging financial prospects.

A simple method of determining the fiscal strength of a chart is to judge the strength of Kalas or Special Forces (if you can call them that) ascribed by definition to 2 key planets in a can call them that) ascribed by definition to 2 key planets in a chart. The key planets are the 9th lords from Lagna (Ascendant) and Chandra Lagna (Moon-sign). The Kalas for these lords are added and their sum divided by 12. The quotient is set aside. The remainder counted from Chandra Lagna (Moon-sign) gives a sign which is known as Indu Laagna.Two or three simple rules are all that are needed to know if one will have very great wealth or moderate finances.

                  The Kalas ascribed to the planets are:

                      Sun           -        30 Kalas

                      Moon       -         16 Kalas

                      Mars         -         6 Kalas

                      Mercury   -         8 Kalas

                      Jupiter     -         10 Kalas

                      Venus      -          12 Kalas

                      Saturn     -          1 Kala

If this Indu Lagna is expected by benefics, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury - very wealthy.

If Jupiter, Venus or Mercury aspect Indu Lagna and no malefics taint this benefic by aspect or conjunction - moderately wealthy.

Only malefics are in Indu Lagna - moderately wealthy.

A powerful malefic in or expecting Indu Lagna - very rich.

A malefic and a benefic aspect the Indu Lagna or are in it - moderately wealthy.
