Jaimini Predictive Techniques

Revision of Predictive Techniques

The techniques which have been described so far should be revised first, as in the subsequent chapters full-length discussion will not be done.

Such an exercise must be done more and more these days when astrologers too, like other persons in the technological countries have become slaves of computers. We are living in such an era in which some brilliant inventors have given us super­sophisticated tools, the result of which is that the computer does what in earlier ages human brain was required to do. Man has become the machine and the computer the brain. I found it to be so in USA and in England with most of the literate persons. But computer cannot take the place of man fir judgement of the horoscope. For that, man alone has to develop the astrological agility of mind.

First Predictive Lesson

1. Why did he do well in his studies?
2. How did he get selected for an all-India service?
3. Why did the marriage take place in the Scorpio-Scorpio period?

Now prepare the navamsha, all the sub-periods of Saturn in the Vimshottari dasha, explain why Saturn proved so fruitful.

Combine now both the Chara dasha of Jaimini and the Vimshottari dasha of Parashara and see why both must give the same results. That is how predictive techniques are to be developed and an astrological mind shaped.

I have called it the composite technique and it is being practised and revived now by our students in India.

The Second Predictive Lesson

1. Prepare the navamsha and the Vimshottari dasha. You will see that in the period of Mars, the seventh and the twelfth lord for this ascendant, both responsible for preparation of a foreign services career and marriage become visible.
2. Why did she have a child in Rahu-Rahu-Moon period?
3. In doing this, go upto the sub-sub period.
4. Sometimes if the birth time has an error, both the sub-sub period in Vimshottari dasha and the calculation of the degrees of the ascendant may be wrong.
5. As you gain more and more experience you will realise that the Chara dasha gives you a hint and the Vimshottari dasha if worked upto sub-sub period” the correct timing. If the ascendant is not changing, Chara dasha will in any case enable you to see the event clearly though in timing it accurately, more sophisticated methods of Vedic astrology will have to be used.

The Third Predictive Lesson

Now see the horoscopes of both the mother and the child and note the role of Gnathikaraka! (GK) in both cases. GK can cause disease also and can bring into one’s life the active role of a relation.

Now prepare the horoscope of the father of the boy (the husband of this woman); born on February 18, 1966 at 01 hours and 03 minutes at lat. 25⁰45’ and long. 84°09’E, India. Work out yourself both the Chara dasha and the Vimshottari dasha. See if the same event is reflected in it or not. This the Composite Technique I have evolved and illustrated in my articles and books, and a full length portraits using this is given my book Astrological Journey through History, Mystery and Horoscopes.

Such repeated exercises must be done to develop an astrological mind which no computer will do for you.

The Fourth Predictive Lesson

Now do similar exercises in the illustrations under education (Chart 3 and 4). Take up your own horoscope and do a similar exercise to find out the education-pattern in your own case and other people known to you
