Nadi - Fundamentals - Part 1

Planetary Mutual Exchange

• Planetary Mutual Exchange is important in Nadi Astrology.
• Exchange can be at the Sign or Nakshatra level.
• Sign Exchange is effective for 7 planets (not Rahu & Ketu).
• Nakshatra level exchange is effective for all planets.
• Planetary exchange can alter results shown by natal positions.
• After exchange, planets are considered benefic and strong in their own signs.

Progression Theory

• Progression is a basic fundamental of Nadi Astrology.
• There are different types of progression:
  1. Jupiter's Progression
  2. Venus' Progression
  3. Saturn's Progression
  4. Rahu's Progression
  5. Ketu's Progression
  6. Cyclic Order Progression
  7. Moon's Progression (As Vimshottri Dasa)
  8. Sudarshan Chakra based Progression
  9. Gulika Progression

Concepts

• Karka judgment is key in Nadi Astrology (a specific branch of Vedic astrology).
• To check the native's past life, shift Jupiter to the immediate previous house from its natal position.
• The Aries-Leo-Sagittarius trine represents Dharma, through which Jupiter purifies the physical body for the soul.
• Ketu's transit over a planet can end karma or obstacles related to that planet.
• Rahu, Sun, Ketu, and Jupiter govern family circle and status.
• Moon-Venus conjunction is a Raja Yoga, indicating potential for wealth and happiness if used wisely.
• Vipareet Rajyoga: Lords of 6th, 8th, and 12th houses in own signs indicate learning from losses.
• Birth Nakshatra (Moon's lunar mansion) is crucial for remedies.
• Each Nakshatra governs a body part, and malefic planets there can cause harm. Benefic planets can counter this.
