A
A A - (©) - pronounced as U in the English word up. This is the first vowel letter in Sanskrit and other Indian languages related to Sanskrit. This alphabet has much significance in Astrology, Manthrasaastra, etc. The syllables (characters) in Sanskrit are classified into different groups named swaraas (vowels), vyanjanaas (consonants) and vargaas (groups) viz., avarga, kavarga, chavarga,tavarga, thavarga, pavarga, yavarga and savarga. A is the first vowel letter in these vargas or groups. In horary astrology this letter is known as Aadithyaakshara (the syllable of Sun) or Indraakshara (the syllable of the deity Indra). In a hoarary query, when A happens to be the first letter of the question putforth by the querist, it is to be inferred that, since the planet lord of this letter is Sun and the Sun’s sign is Leo, Leo is to be taken as the query ascendant and the query is answered accordingly. This letter offers another clue that the subject of query is the querent himself. In Indian astrology the 27 stars are assigned certain syllables. A and AA, are assigned to the star Kritthika / Kaarthika, (3rd star in the order). The practice is that the child born in Kritthika star is given a name beginning with A like Anil or AA like Aanand. see avakahadaadi, naamanakshathraakshara. A.D. - English era. A.M. - Ante meridien,time between midnight and noon. Aa - (©) - the second letter in vowels (swaraas); the elongation of ‘A’ relates to water. the naamaakshara of first quarter of Kaarthika star . In hoarary Aa is considered auspicious, if it happens to be the first letter of the first word uttered by the querist. Aabaadhaa - (©LV) - spirits that give trouble. Aabdika - (©u¢r‰®) - annual, which comes once in a year like death anniversary etc. Aabhaa - (©¨) - light, luster, shine. Aabhaasa - (©¨È) - resemblance. Aabharana - (©¨æ_) - ornament; signified by 3rd and 7th house, Sun and Venus. In horary related to deities, Daevaprasna, the ornament of the deity is signified by 7th house. The transit lord for the solar year, Samkramapurusha, also wears special ornaments, when he enters the sign Aries at the start of
Aabhichaara the new year. The nature of the ornament worn by the lord of transit for the year is deduced from the karana transited by him. see table below. see karana. Table Karana transited

Aabhichaara - (©<¨Óæ) - employment of magical spells for malevolent purposes; black magic done on somebody to incapacitate, destroy or to prevail upon him, secretive rite done with incantations to harm the opponent. Aabhichaara is of two types Kshudraabhichaara and Mahaabhichaara. The nature, cause and remedies of Aabhichaara are ascertained by the Prasna, during the performance of query relating to Aabhichaara. If the planet indicating black-magic is a benefic planet it is Mahaabhichaara; if malefic, it is Kshudraabhichaara. The purpose of Mahaabhichaara is to kill the opponent by incantation of manthras. In Kshudraabhichaara, some substances are buried underground or kept in places, where the subject usually moves so that he comes into contact with these and get afflicted. The nature of the person, usually an enemy,who performs the blackmagic, Aabhichaara, his caste, his motive etc. can also be gleaned from horary. 1.The caste and occupation governed by the sixth house or the lord of sixth house indicate the caste of the enemy who performed the blackmagic. 2.The caste governed by the house of harm, baadhaaraasi, or its lord is the caste of the accomplice. Pisces, Taurus, Aries and Gemini and their trines respectively signify Brahmin, Kshathriya, Vaisya and Sudra. 3.If the lord of house of harm is in any way connected with the 6th house, then the enemy’s caste is that of the sixth house. 4.If the lord of the house of harm is in anyway connected with the lord of sixth the enemy’s caste is that of the lord of the 6th. 5.If the lord of the 6th is bound up with the house of harm, then the accomplice belongs to the caste governed by the house of harm. According
Aabhichaara to Sree Varaahamihira, Jupiter and Venus are Brahmins; Sun and Mars are Kshathriyas; Moon is Vaisya; Mercury is Sudra; Saturn is mixed caste. According to another view, the caste of the enemy is signified by the lord of sixth and the lord of the 10th signifies the caste of the accomplice. The motive of Aabhichaara karma corresponds with the nature of the sign occupied by the lord of sixth house. The motive for performing blackmagic can be inferred from the significations of the lord of the sign occupied by the 6th lord. 6.If the sign is Mars, the motive is land; if Mercury, it is gold; if Jupiter, it is cash and produce; if Venus, it is silver, cattle, clothes, women; if Saturn, it is servants, low class people, weapons, vessels, water, roots, fruits. 7.The motive also can be gleaned from the nature of the house occupied by the lord of sixth house, second house for money, fourth for land and so on. 8. Whether the motive behind the blackmagic is related to a metal, plant or animal, can be ascertained by examining the rising sign, planets in the rising sign, lord of the sixth house, lord of the house of harm, the house occupied by the lord of sixth, the sign occupied by the lord of ascendant. 9.Whether the person performing black magic belongs to the same family of the querist or outside or is a relative or other-wise can be ascertained from ascendant. If the ascendant is a movable sign, the enemy is a close relative, if in fixed sign he is a relative, if in common sign, the enemy is an outsider. 10.If the ascendant is a fixed sign, the enemy resides with the native, if common, he is a neighbour, if movable, he belongs to a distant place. 11.Accordingly as the sixth lord is occupied by the lord of the 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, the enemy will have the relationship indicated by the house. 4th =friend or maternal relation; 3rd=brother; 7th=wife; 9th= father etc. 12.The direction, caste of the enemy and how far distant he is, should be ascertained from the 6th house or its lord. 13.The direction and the caste and the distance of the maanthrik are to be ascertained from the house of harm or its lord. 14.If ascendant is a movable sign, Mars in the 11th or a fixed sign with Mars in 9th or in a common sign with Mars in the 7th and aspected by the lord of sixth, it is to be inferred that the disease under query is caused by blackmagic. 15.If Mars is in the ascendant or in a quadrant and the lord of sixth is in the rising sign, the disease is caused by black magic. 16.If lord of sixth is in the ascendant or 7th or 10th or ascendant and Mars are in ascen-dant or aspecting it, the disease is caused by black- magic.

Aabhichaara bedroom or village boundaries; Saturn= dirty or deserted places; if Raahu, Kaethu or Gulika= serpents’ abode or in its viscinity. Direction where the black magic substance (kshudra) is kept - The direction where the black magic substance is kept can be ascertained from the sixth lord, lord of the house of harm, lord of sign and navaamsa occupied by the obstructing lord. Whether the black magic substance (kshudra) could be removed or not - If lord of harm is in a movable sign, the substance can be easily removed; if in a common sign it can be removed with effort, if in a fixed sign it cannot be removed at all. The methods of remedying the kshudra - 1.Add together longitudes of the ascendant lord and lord of sixth in the query chart and find out the sign in which this longitude falls. Also find which planet joins or aspects this sign. If it is Sun Aghoarabali is the remedy; if Moon Kapaalahoama is the remedy; if Mars Bhoothamaaranabali or Khadgaraavanabali or Kritthikaabali is the remedy. If Mercury Chakrahoama is the remedy; If Jupiter Pratheekaarabali is the remedy; if Venus Pratheekaarabali or Bhootha maaranabali is the remedy; If Saturn Pratheekaara bali should be performed. 2.It can also be inferred from the planet occupying or aspecting the tenth house or lord of tenth house from aaroodta. 3.If the first letter in the sentence said by the messenger is a long one, the disease is cured by music; if it is short, it is cured by worship and feeding; if a combined consonant it can be cured by performing dance.Who should perform the remedy - If the querist at the time of putting the question, looks at rightside and upward direction, the remedies should be performed by Brahmins; if he looks down, by temple priests; if looks up on left side, by the high class among the low class; if he looks down to the left, the inferior amongst the low born ones. Identification of the deity causing the affliction- By closely observing the parts of the body touched by the questioner at the time of putting the question, the deity causing baadha can be ascertained. 1.If the questioner touches his chest, forehead, private parts and navel, then the man has troubles from daevathaas (deities). If he touches his sides, back, fingers, neck, serpents are causing the trouble. If he touches his eye-brows, ears and arm-pits Pisaachaas (ghosts) are troubling him. 2.If the lord of the house of harm occupies the sign of Mercury or navaamsa, the trouble is from deities worshipped by high class people in their homes; if
3
Aabhichaara it is Jupiter’s house or navaamsa, the trouble will be from deities worshipped in temples; if it is Saturn’s house or navaamsa, the trouble is from deities worshipped by low class people; if it is his own sign or navaamsa, the trouble is from deities having their abode in solitary gardens. 3.If Mars owning the house of harm, joins with Kaethu, the troubling deity is Chaamundee. 4.If Mars joins with or occupies the signs of Mercury it is Panchamee. 5.If Mars occupies odd signs or navaamsaas, the deities are Bhairava or Ghantaakarna. 6.If Mars is in even signs or navaamsas, the deities are Rakthaeswari or Rakthachaamundee.

The lord of Aardra constellation is Raahu and hence the birth period of people born in this constellation starts with Raahu dasa followed by the periods, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Kaethu, Venus etc. General features - Raahu is the starlord and Mercury is the signlord for Aardraa born people and so the combined effects of these two planets will be predominant in them. They are pure gentlemen and speak and behave nicely. They mingle with people and so others like them very much. Though Mercury the sign lord, gives them the intellectual capacity, the starlord Raahu does not permit their full fledged development and so their ability is not fully appreciated as it should be. They are good conversationalists. Inconsistency and irritability which are the peculiarity of Raahu makes them intolerant to other’s views. For Aardra born people Saturn is the lord of the ninth house, the house of fortune, and also lord of 8th house of misfortune. So their life will be a mixture of fortunes and misfortunes. Misfortunes will be greater if Jupiter is placed badly in the horoscope. They are long-lived because Saturn is the lord of 8th, the house of longevity. They are independent by nature and hence do not like to work or remain under the control of others. They
are prone to false pride and prestige and are averse to obligation from others. Because of the influence of Mercury they grasp matters quickly and retain them permanently. Their decisions will be balanced. Mercury is the lord of frequent travels and so their profession is generally connected with frequent travels and during the period of Mercury, the frequency of travel will increase. Being born in Gemini sign, which is a common sign, they always hold two opinions about everything and also will be changing their views frequently. Mercury being a planet of speech, they like conversation and talk much. They are inclined towards music and some become good musicians also. Their tongue is sharp and the language crisp, due to the nature of Raahu. Mercury gives them the ability for good correspondence and hence they prove to be good correspondents, writers, auditors, liaison officers, public relation officers and sales managers. They like pomp and show and by these they want to influence others. They are not spendthrifts and at times turn to be too lavish as well. If planets are not placed well in the horoscope, their abilities are misused and they nurture a hostile mentality with relatives. They turn to be crooked, opportunistic, deceivers and hypocrite. They often write anonymous petitions about others to higher authorities. They show more affection towards children than to parents. Intellectual professions suit them more and so they shine as teachers, organizers, correspondents etc. They have the special capacity to assess others.
