Watching the frightening incident of certain iconic parts of Notre Dame cathedral being engulfed by fire felt like the very personality of Paris was getting lost. The cathedral was an embodiment of art, spirituality and history. It stood as one of the greatest buildings in Paris. This iconic Parisian building was made famous in the novel Hunchback

EVIL Saturn – The MISTAKEN understanding |Kartheek Darbha
The Astrological eMagazine is a platform to promote original research in the field of astrology, in an unbiased manner. We giving opportunities to bold and budding astrological scholars to showcase their talent and research in the field of astrology. In this paper, Kartheek Darbha shares some notes on The Myths of Saturn and why Saturn shouldn’t always be considered as evil.

Introduction Saturn is largely considered an evil planet by many. The planet is said to trouble mankind regularly and hence concepts Ashtama Shani, Ardha Ashtama Shani etc., from the Gochara perspective have pickedup up heat. I will try and illustrate that Saturn can also a benefic planet for certain ascendants. Kartheek Darbha is a practitioner with over 8 years of experience in various fields of Vedic Astrology. He has good practical and handson experience in analysing horoscopes using Math (imapct analysis of each planet based on its degree of location in each and its effect in other Bhava) as said in Vedic Astrology by renowned Parasara Maharshi. His expertise is in dealing specially with Marriage prediction, various health situations in Female horoscopes related to Giving Birth to a Child, Vamsa Vrudhi, Onsite Travel, Occupation and Business predictions, Star Lord Dasha system analysis.

Technicalities: In practice, I’ve seen Saturn being a lord for Bhavas 1, 5, 9 definitely gives good results. Similarly, being in the ascendant as lord of Bhavas 3, 7, 11 in a horoscope will be a bad placement. The following two scenarios depicted below explores the analogy and demonstrates Saturn playing a vital good and a malefic role in horoscopes. In Chart 1, Libra is rising. Saturn is the lord of fourth and fifth Bhavas. Each Bahva extends to 30 Degrees. Since Saturn owns two Bhavas next to each other, the effect gets doubled. 60- Degrees ownership as per Parashara/ Vere Kondappa gives the tendency of giving good results with his view on 10 and 12 Bhavas.

the results of Saturn. Since, Sun is in Saturn’s Star(Pushyami). The Above statement is as per STAR LORD Dasha System as per Parashara and interpreted by MR Vere Kondappa. Though the wedding happens through some other means like 7 Bhava gets Shudhi by fewer good planets of this horoscope such as Mars/Jupiter/ Sun, definitely one is going to struggle in Marital life going further. Since, Dasha results are referencing Saturn. The kind of state the horoscope leads to is Widow Yoga, for both Men and Women cases. Just like Mangala Dosha, in this case Saturn’s Malefic results also powerful. Since, the name itself denotes Shanaischara, meaning “Shanaihi Shanaihi Charaha”. Coverts to a slow-motion based planet

who sticks to each Raasi for 2 years at least. Once the gochara suits, the predictions start lasting long. That’s why, people struggle more compared to the other malefic planet periods. But, don’t forget he is enemy for everybody. He is also a hero for a number of horoscopes.
Conclusion Every planet can have both positive and malefic effects and this effect varies based on many factors in a horoscope - Ascendant, planetary placement in various houses, Friendship/Enmity etc. Saturn is not always evil, and can in fact be a boon for many horoscope.

Secrets of the 7th House: Compromise, Patience and Love |Barry Rossen
Parashara refers to the 7th house as Yuvati Bhava. Yuvati translates to a young lady. In this chapter he gives various combinations where a man can look in to his horoscope and ascertain the type of wife he’ll get, qualities of the wife, time of marriage, more than one wife and so on. An untrained student might only see this with a patriarchal view. However, Parashara and other scholars after him have cleverly encrypted a deeper meaning that gets revealed only to those who do an in-depth study of the text. The seventh house in these modern times of Tinder represents the concept of a committed and understanding relationship. In this article, Barry Rossen, an intellectual and scholar, throws light on the seventh house, what it means to the modern Tinder generation and how one can use this house to his or her advantage.
The 7th house represents the concept of committed relationships. It is not always about marriage and even includes the considerations of business partnerships as well as committed long term romantic involvements. When the love is deep enough marriage often moves to the 12th house of sacrifice where we give up our personal needs through deep love to create a family.

The 7th house represents the concept of committed relationships The 7th house is about learning compromise wherein two people come together to create something better than each has on offer individually: the whole is worth more than the sum of its parts. A dear friend often noted that a good business partnership is when 2 + 2 not just add up to 4 but create a 7. It’s like sine wave amplification where two small waves create july 2019

Twilight in the Rig-Veda | Prof. R. Krjshnamurthy, M. A.
TWILIGHT is a natural phenomenon which is observable at all places on all parts of the earth. Fora considerable time after the Sun has set, there exists a diffused kind of light illuminating the earth, which is termed twilight. This is due to the atmosphere surrounding the earth. It is explained that much dust and water-vapour are suspended in the atmosphere and the rays of light from the Sun which pass through the upper layer of the atmosphere, even after the Sun goes below the horizon, are reflected and scattered by the dust and water-vapour above; hence the diffused light called twilight. Further this scattered light is transmitted to other particles further away from the Sun and they reflect the rays a second time and thus further lengthen the duration of the twilight. The twilight is said to end when this diffused light has entirely disappeared or. at least has become imperceptible. From numerous observations of the western scientists, it has been found that the twilight ends at any place when the Sun is at a vertical depth of about 18 degrees below the horizon. A similar phenomenon occurs every day just before the Sun rises. Here too according to the western astronomers, the morning twilight starts when the Sun arrives just 18 degrees below the horizon. Thus we have both morning and evening twilights. The duration of the twilight is given to be the interval between the moments when the Sun goes below the 22

horizon and when all the stars (including the seventh magnitude stars) of the celestial sphere become visible, or the interval between the moments when the seventh magnitude star begins to disappear and when the Sun comes to the horizon. This duration of twilight is the least for an equatorial observer on the equi-noctial clay and is maximum for the same observer on the solstitial day. Its length is different at different places on earth situated at different latitudes on different days of the year. There are certain places on the earth wherein the twilight continues throughout the night during certain parts of the year. There are also certain other/ places situated within the frigid zone, which enjoy perpetual day and perpetual night, where there are periods of perpetual twilight of varying lengths of days. For a north-pole observer, whose days and nights are six months each, twilight extends to about 48 days. In the Yedic literature, Ushas is the name usually given to the morning twilight and Sandhya for either of the two twilights. The deity presiding over this period is the usha devi. She receives great attention at the hands of the Rig- Vedic Rishis. They describe the Usha devi as a beautiful, highly ornamented, young damsel, always marching in advance of the Sun-god. When describing the evening twilight, they describe it as a modest young. girl following her husband’s footsteps. The Ushas or morning The astrological emagazine
