Misfortunes in your birthchart and their remedies

People who keep learning and enhancing their knowledge can change their misfortunes. Others, who don't learn believe in some miracles that they hope can get them out of their problems. Instead of being afraid of problems, look for solutions to those problems so you can overcome the bad times. Today's article will deal with special planetary combinations that may cause some misfortunes in life and the remedies for each. 

What are misfortunes (mahadosh in Hindi) of the birth chart?
There are times when the Sun, Earth, or Moon goes into total darkness. As we live on the Earth, we don't come to know of these dark occurrences. However, every sixth birth-chart is believed to be afflicted with such misfortune.

Grahan Yog

Almost every 6th persona has this yoga in his kundali. Whenever, Rahu or Ketu are come together with the Sun or Moon then it results in grahan yoga. It causes one to go through all sorts of problems in every sphere of life. However, to arrive at the conclusion that one has grahan yoga, one needs to be able to calculate very precisely as this is not easily seen by the bhava of Rahu, Ketu, Moon or Sun in one house, but rather with the relation of the degrees of these planets.

Effects: This grahan yoga affects one's mind, intelligence, emotions, family, and reputation in a negative manner. One gets almost everything, but after tremendous hard work. Such a person is very negative and even his own family members - including mother and father aren't able to or don't want to help such an individual. People affected by this yoga, don't have many friends, their bodies become very weak very fast, they start being afraid of responsibilities and try to find ways to escape their responsibilities.

If such a yoga is formed in the 1st, 2nd, or 9th bhava, then it brings about very negative effect on one's luck. In this case, the individual becomes angry at almost every other thing. Ego is another problem that gets inflated too much with this yoga, which causes them to be mad with others. The person's thoughts are not stable - they don't remember their promises. The person will end up staying away from everyone except their spouse and will always blame and criticize others causing vani-dosh. This dosha causes them to never have stable relationships.

If the yoga is formed in the 7th bhava, then it causes a bad effect on one's marriage or the person does not get married at all.

Remedies for this yoga exist, but they are somewhat difficult to implement as the person will be unwilling to do them. They should be done for a long period of time to change your negativity into a positive energy. These yogas - if positive can turn your life around. For example, Rahu + Sun = required in politics and bureaucracy; it can even turn one into a big industrialist . Ketu + Moon gives you a great intuition and such an individual can do a lot for society and for oneself too. They are also very innovative. So the remedies are:
- be in the supervision of a Guru/mentor
- take care of a cow regularly
- make sure you eat turmeric regularly, put some on your tongue in the morning. This is apart from what you'd intake in your cooked food.
- visit a mandir or place of worship regularly
- learn Surya and Chandra kriyas and make them part of your daily routine

Rahu & Ketu Yog

When in a birth-chart, the Sun or Moon are placed with Rahu or Ketu then it causes "grahan-yog" - it cancels out the positive effects of the Sun and the Moon, which causes the individual to go through problems in many spheres of life. However, you have to do some research before determining whether this "yog" is dangerous or not.

This yog causes:

- negative effects to the mind, intellect, emotions, family, and reputation of the individual throughout life.

- you get every thing after a great deal of struggles

- you turn into a pessimist

- your body becomes weak very quickly

- nobody in the family comes to your help

- you don't have many friends

- you become afraid of responsibilities and start running away from them.

If this yog occurs in the first, second, or ninth bhav, then

- the person has to struggle a lot due to a weak fate.

- such a person gets angry very quickly. 

- the person stays away from his life partner on his own will, but blames it on others

- there may be vani-dosh, which causes the person to not have stable relations

- such people taunt others

If the yog occurs on the seventh house,

- it causes the individual to not marry or have pleasures of a married life; such people should not marry and instead do some social work

- or you can try some remedies, which are very difficult

- this yog also causes one to research a lot

Remedies:

- have a guru

- take care of a cow everyday

- always go to the temple and offer your services there

- eat turmeric

- do Surya Kriya after learning it from your Guru

- do Chandra Kriya after learning it from your Guru

(if these kriya are not done the correct way, then they may effect your stomach and mind)

Dridra Yog

Either wealth doesn't come or doesn't stay if your birth-chart has dridra-yog. It can even turn a billionaire into nothing. Wealth here includes - business, work, property, jewellery, your car, pets. This yog also effects people who were flourishing very fast. If the Lagna or the 12th house are afflicted, then it causes you not to be owner of your property with your own money. The stronger the yog, the more the effect on you. If Jupiter is strong, then it causes one to be intelligent and but devoted to social causes despite being very poor. If such person's family is not careful, then such people can end up giving away their share of the property away too.

This yog is also caused by the 4th and 8th house. The connection between these houses causes one to lose wealth due to siblings or friends.

Mangal Rahu or Shani cause this yog.

Rahu & Shani - cause one to never save any money throughout life and also causes great problems.

Venus and Mars in the 12th house causes a life of poverty to the life partner.

The 12th house's Venus and Mars along with the Moon of second house causes one poverty due to love/love marriage.

On the palm:

If your fate line cuts across the Shani mount to the middle finger, then it shows the wealth will decrease. Such a line shows that the person may go through a lot of problems in the 28th, 36th, and 48th years of one's life. If there's a mole on the bottom and first phalange, it causes a very serious health/life problem. It may cause you to either voluntarily give away your wealth to someone else (due to trust), or someone may take over your wealth by conspiring against you, or you may end up playing with your life that it will cause the wealth to finish off.

If your fate line is wavy (like a snake), then despite your efforts, the wealth won't stay with you and due to egoistic behavior, the individual will end up wasting his money.

If the wavy fate line has some broken branches touching the marriage line (from under the Mercury finger), then it may cause a problem to wealth due to love/love relations.

If the fate line is away from your life line, then you can expect no wealth from your family members. If this is the case for you:

- don't stay in the place you  were born

- establish "shri yantra" or "shodashi" yantra

- offer free labor/work on Tuesday and Saturdays

- take 11 leaves of "belpatra, ashok, aak, or bargad" tree and write "pang, rang, dang" with sindoor and haldi on them; let them flow in water on shukla-paksh navmi in river/lake every month.

- clean the East part of the home on your own

- offer some part of your property to some social work - religious or some work for the poor

- keep a squared piece of silver with you always - it should be given by mother, Guru, or have it "abhimantrit"

- never have property in your name

- always have a black or white dog as pet

Veyshi Yog

If there is Shani or Mars right after the house that has the Sun, then it causes:

- one to be effected by Tantra very quickly

- problems due to the opposite sex

- lots of problems in progress

- If Mars is  the cause of this yog, it makes one very wealthy and then causes poverty after that; brings bad repute; also will cause the person to go through some punishment given by the government. Such a person will not be loved by his spouse or children.

- If Shani is the cause, the person is not able to eat well or eat on time or there may be some inedible items in the food. Do surya kriya, donate bricks and food on Tuesdays, do gayatri yag, eat something sweet and then some water before going to work. Sleep on the ground on Tuesdays. Don't be egoistic, flirty, or deceive anyone, otherwise you can't get married or if you do you can't have a good married life. Get your nose pierced. Never take free things from anyone. If you've taken someone's things illegally, then return them as soon as possible.

Kaal-Sarp Dosh

This yog can cause one to reach many heights in life due to one's own efforts and/or due to the grace of God. So, it's not really a bad thing.

It is caused by the combination of Rahu, Ketu, Moon, Venus

If Rahu or Ketu are in the first house with Moon or Venus it causes Sarp Dosh.

If Rahu or Ketu are in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, or 8th house, it causes Naag or Sarp Dosh.

- This causes the individual to go through mental problems, loss to reputation, deceptions, bad effect on marriage or in getting married, even after marriage - there is deception, such people also deceive others, there can be economic problems to the life partner or the life partner goes through some mental problems, the life partner does not get much affection from his home and family and the relatives are also not so good. It gives unlimited anger. The person doesn't have any good friend. The person doesn't eat good food. The person may be inclined towards drugs and alcohol or may have friends who are all addicts. The person can finish all his wealth or leave home with no plans. It can cause schizophrenia, ADHD, or some other mental or behavioral problems. It gives a lot of loneliness in life. One can even end up in prison.

As remedy,

- write "om namah shivay" on 5 peepal leaves on Saturdays and let them flow in some river; do this throughout life

- donate milk every Monday throughout life

- wear a silver chain in the neck throughout life

- keep some saffron in your belly button throughout life

Rogi Yog

Whenever there is Rahu or Shani after the house which has Moon in it, then it causes one to be sick throughout life and no illness can be cured easily. If Jupiter is in the central house, it causes one to be sick throughout life, but illnesses keep getting cured quickly. If the 6th bhav has a vakri Shani, then it causes all sort of aches and pains.
Remedy:
live a disciplined life; watch the sunrise and welcome the Sun; don't sleep too late at night; wear an iron ring in the middle finger on a Saturday.

Guru-chandaal Yog:

Remedies: do narayana puja, do some work for humanity, and respect your Guru.

Yoga that causes problems in traveling abroad:

if Venus is in the 8th or 3rd bhava and is with either Mars or Saturn, then such a person usually gets to the airport but is unable to complete his journey due to some reason or the other despite there being a great desire to go abroad. Such a person may also
get his home burgled or the home can catch fire at least once. The girls of such homes also usually have some problems.
Remedies:
- Never take advice from a stranger of the opposite sex as it will cause loss
- Stop eating urad dal
- Donate salty foods on a Saturday
- Don't do important work on Tuesdays and Fridays
- If Venus is debilitated, then do not do any important work. If necessary, do it after consulting with an astrologer
