Shani Transit in Nadi by One

Article by One

There are many methods to use Shani’s Transit & Aspect of Shani has been used in most novel manners in Nadi Granthas like Bhrigu nadi, Deva Kerelam (Chandra Kala Nadi). To make this article simple we shall explore only few though in 1988 Shri C.S.Patel has explored the same but scribe has found that the current generation does not know of Patel’s work hence reproducing same with adage ‘Old Wine in New Bottle’.

One will notice the specialty of Nadi Transits which is what normal Parasari doesn’t show Nadi Transits will reveal explicitly when the ‘Methods are Mastered Over a Period of Time’ with ‘Repeated Usage’.

1^st Method

“ When transit Saturn coincides identically with the natal position of the lord of the 8^th house FROM a particular house or its trine positions, the native will experience mental upsets due to denial of results signified by that particular house”

Kindly re-read the above verse and grasp 4 postulates: –

Step 1: If Saturn is transiting through a house having a planet (A) in natal chart, immediately check this planets’ (A) is owner of which houses (B).

Step 2: Then check if these houses (B) are 8^th from which all houses (C).

Step 3: The significations of these houses (C) will suffer & thereby predict accordingly

Step 4: If Saturn is not transiting through a natal planet, check if in transit it is trines to any natal planet, note this as (A) and follow the Step 2 & 3 again.

An example would simply the above complicated-looking but practice-making-simple technique of Saturn’s transit

Chart: S.H 2

Transit: Sat transits Taurus in July 2000 & Sat is at 3Ta51’

Step 1: If Saturn is transiting through a house having a planet (A) in natal chart, immediately check this planet’s (A) owns which all houses (B).

Process 1: Observe which planet Sat is close to in transit in Ta. It is close to Ven (planet A) at 5Ta in natal chart. Ven owns 5H & 12H. (B)

Step 2: Then check if these houses (B) are 8^th from which all houses (C).

Process 2: 5H & 12H (B) are 8^th from 10 H of career & 5 H of opportunity (C) respectively.

Step 3: The significations of these houses (C) will suffer & thereby predict accordingly

Process 3: 5H of NEW opportunity & 10 H of career (C) can suffer

Final Prediction: The native was in partnership with 2 socialites for a New business Opportunity (5H) related with spirituality, the dotcom bubble burst around May and slowly their business venture closed down after mutual consent around July 2000. Significations of 5H, which is 10^th (career) from 8H of spirituality, hence spirituality related business & also 10 H suffered.

Observe the closeness of the degree of Sat with the planet in question Ven, apply the 100 kalas orb that we read at the start of this paper & this works.(SJ: Alter this line ‘start of the paper)

Hindsight: If we would have taken the normal way of looking at Saturn’s transit we would have seen it affecting 2^nd house, 6^th house & 9^th house & then made some connection but do we get a more clearer picture with the above technique, it’s left to you all.

(SJ: what about the technique of Sats 8^th aspect is that to be mentioned here)

Sat trine in transit to another planet

Transit: Sat in Ta

Step 4: If Saturn is not transiting through a natal planet, check if in transit it is trines to any natal planet, note this as (A) and follow the Step 2 & 3 again.

Process: Let’s assume that in the same chart Sat is transiting Ta and there is no other planet, but is it trine to any planet, yes it is trine to Jup (A). Now follow step 2 & 3, which would be seeing the ownership of Jup, which is 7H & 10H (B). Now check these two houses are 8^th from which 2 houses (C) & we would get that 7H is 8^th from 12^th house of expenses & foreign, whereas 10H is 8^th from 3^rd house of TV & initiatives.

So can we predict that the significations of 3H & 12 H would have suffered?

Final Outcome: During this broad period of Sat’s journey through the sign Ta, the native was jobless for the complete part except 10 months, the native is from TV industry (3H) & we can see that those significations suffered, also he just sat at home and expected a job to come to him thereby showing lack of initiatives. Let’s now come to 12H significations, he suffered heavy expenses, went abroad and was not successful thereby giving loss of lot of money, in fact after Sat went into Gemini he started a business and as soon as Sat came back into Ta during it’s retrograde motion this business closed down, which was of making movies in Australia.

I hope only one example is enough for the readers to understand this technique.

After studying 8650 verses of Bhrigu Nadi, Chandubhai capsulated a gist of Saturn’s transit as mentioned in the nadi text, it is a simplified version of the 1^st method where only Saturn’s transit is analyzed by seeing in transit it is 8^th from which house and thereby the significations of the house suffers. E.g. if Saturn is in the 2^nd house the natives spouse will be subjected to trouble why? Since 2^nd house is 8^th from the 7^th house of spouse. Same way we should deduce results for other houses.

2^nd Method

Scribe had promised at the earlier part of this paper that he would reveal why if Saturn is in the 1^st house in transit, then 3H,6H, 8H,12H significations suffers. The scribe asked scholars who have done astrology for 15-20 yrs but no one could reply to him the answer to this riddle. Let us go back to the translation from one of Chandubhai’s work from Chandrakala Nadi (Madras Govt series)

Vol. 1, Pg 100 Vs 1058, Vol 2, Part 2, Pg 106, Vs 913 & Vol 2, Part 2, Pg 240, Vs 4827

Interpretation from Patel: The house from which the 8^th house when transited by Saturn and the other three houses from which the respective 8^th houses when aspected by Saturn, suffer afflictions.

Clearer Understanding: In order to understand the above verse we have to take first the house through which Saturn is transiting and the 3 houses which Saturn normally aspects. The suffering and afflictions are felt on account of those houses from which the above four places become the 8^th houses.

Let us go deeper in this not so normal astrological way of looking at a transit, since if you ask a normal astrologer where would Saturn effect if he is in the 1^st house, he would explain matters of 1H, 3H, 7H, 10H but never would he guess 3H,6H, 8H,12H.

Deeper Insight:

• When Saturn transits the Asc, which is 8^th from the 6H; hence mark 6H
• Saturn’s 3^rd aspect falls on the 3H, which is 8^th from the 8H, mark 8H
• Saturn’s 7^th aspect falls on the 7H, which is 8^th from 12^th H, mark 12H
• Saturn’s 10^th aspect falls on the 10H, which is 8^th from 3H, mark 3H

Thereby the significations of 3,6,8,12^th houses suffer when Saturn is in Asc, similar logic needs to be looked for when Saturn is transiting other houses.

Let us take examples of S.H 2

Event: Sat in transit in Lagna i.e. Ge from 23^rd July 2002 onwards

Process: We would now see the houses 3,6,8,12 & the planets therein.

• When recently Sat transited Ge his 1^st house, he went through a bad patch completely during this period being jobless. Why jobless, 6H of service & 3H of TV industry is affected; he is from the TV industry & thereby no job.
• 8H & 12H of foreign is affected, 4 days before 23^rd July 2002 the native returned from foreign empty handed with lots of losses, thereby ending his dream job initiative (3H).
• Also 8^th H & 12H of astrology related subjects is badly effected, the native ventured into studying astrology during this period and faced lot of anguish & mental tension due to not able to understand even basics of astrology.
• See 8H contains Jup which is 7^th lord of spouse & 12H contains Ven natural karaka for spouse apart from being the Darakaraka in the chart, the native faced another bad affair which was to culminate into marriage but as these houses are affected, the lady (foreigner – 8^th & 12^th house of foreign) and he broke up thereby showing loss.
• In 12H, Sat the lord of 9H of father is present, during this period his relationship with his father went to the lowest ebb, which caused the native lot of grief.
• 3H contains Moon, the natural karaka for mother and in the chart for family, as Saturn is effecting the 3H through our nadi principles, his relations with his mother went extremely sour & also with family members.
• 6H is effected, which is the house of debts & court, the native has gone under lot of debts during this period & also went to court for first time in his life being just a witness to a contact who was had contracted a litigation proceeding against someone else.

This way we can see how with more clarity and in-depth the nadi principles work. Does it mean that whenever Saturn transits the lagna similar results would be obtained to the T, ofcourse not but the flavor of events can be there if other factors also support it. Dasas being primary, let us also not forget that in the above native’s case the dreaded atmakaraka replacement is happening & is closer to its age of completion. Sat replaces Sun, age of Sat is 36, hence by 36 it should be complete. Sat is the Amk, Jup becomes the natural Amk during this replacement, as Jup was strengthened by wearing of stone, certain amount of sanity was restored in the native’s life.
