14 Rajayogas : The Position Givers
What we call rajayogas in astrology should be interpreted as combinations capable of conferring such important and significant rise in life as brings one near the ci::ntres of political and administrative powers as insider or even as an outsider.
I cannot help giving such a wide definition as in so many horoscopes. I have seen rajayogas giving administrative powers to persons, but in private firms, and by virtue of such positions they are actively in contact with administrative and political powers.
In these horoscopes what is clearly visible is that these persons are involved in the nexus that exists between politicians, businessmen and bureaucrats.
The Number of Rajayogas
The number of rajayogas that exist in Jaimini run into over thirty but to test and illustrate them is laborious and time consuming. About twenty of them have been tested to be giving results, if thy are not missed from the Lagna, Karakamsha, Pada lagna, the lagna lord, different lagnas like Bhava, Varnada, Ghatika, etc.
Is there a simple way of looking for them in a horoscope without much complexity in approeach? The answer to this lies in examining through, to start with, the following:
(a) The combination of the Atmakaraka with Amatyakaraka, Putrakaraka, Darakaraka or the fifth lord from Lagna, giving us four.
(b) Of the Amatyakaraka with Putrakaraka, Darakaraka or the fifth lord from the lagna giving us three.
(c) Of the Putrakaraka with Darakaraka or the fifth lord from the lagna giving us two.
(d) Of the Darakaraka with the fifth lord giving us one.
Looking at these ten rajayogas not missing similar Parashari rajayogas, gives enough indications of one’s rise in life. The quality, strength and time of such rise depends on other factors and can be ascertained.
Note: There are many other types of Jaimini Rajayogas which are not being discussed here. They are too advanced for a beginner. Later, a full book on them can be produced to prove that if Jaimini system of astrology is mastered, no reference to Parashari astrology need be made for predictions.
The Importance of the Navamsha
Here comes the importance of the N avamsha which must confirm the existence not merely of such rajayogas, but will show what survives and is really effective. Enough it is here to stress the importance of the Navamsha as otherwise most of the people born in February 1962 will have most of the rajayogas ofJaimini which have or have not become effective. If you look at the concentration of as many as eight planets in Makara (Capricorn) on 5 February, 1962, you will see all Jaimini and Parashari yogas taking place in one house. Unless the navamsha is examined and the process of necessary astrological filtration done, it can cause a good deal of confusion.
In the horoscopes of all persons, particularly many politicians, there is a triangular connection in the Navamsha of such rajayogas. This triangle is of the Charakarakas, Sthirakarakas and houses involved.
