With obeisance to Lord Ganapati, and to the beloved Mercury who is the karaka for Buddhi (intelligence), we submit this technique at the holy feet of Sage Bhrighu, the founder of Bhrighu astrology, the greatest one who no doubt is most beloved for showing us all that we do not know astrology yet. May he accept and bless this technique. May the ones who follow the rules of Jyotisha Purusha be able to use this technique effectively.

Sage Bhrighu’s Easy Methodology (Bhrighu Saral Paddathi) 28

BSP- 28 Postulates:

Mercury implements its energies in the 10^th House from itself in the 24^th

Mercury is a Kumar-young, natural karaka of Vanijya (occupation, profession, vocation) in a broad sense. This is the reason why Mercury implements in 10H of occupation of natural zodiac in 24^th year the most important and appropriate age to start earning own income.

It is often seen that at the age of 24 chances of love affairs, some serious relationship and its breakage are also very bright along with job, occupational issues, etc. Let us check this technique on some practical charts. Broader sense is taken to understand the technique.

Readers are advised to rigorously test this technique of BSP Mercury implements in the 10^th House from itself in the 24^th year. Please share your finding with us by sending your mail to admin@saptarishisastrology.com or in the Guest Book section. For the initiated in nadi astrology, here is a strong piece of suggestion, take 50 individuals ask them what happened in the 24^th year, create that in an excel sheet against Chart 1,2,3 and so on. Then as a practice start testing in the first 20 charts and in the next 30 charts start predicting yourself. When you do this exercise over and over again you would master the 24^th year of a native’s life, but this exercise can only be mastered after one has read all the books on Houses and Planets.
