Jupiter is known as one who propriates progeny (putra karaka) as well as wealth (Dhana karaka). Spirituality, Vedic Scriptures, shasthras are signified by Jupiter. Let us examine as to how Jupiter is connected to Kanchi and Sri Varadar (Varadharaja swamy of Athigiri Kshetram – Kanchipuram known also as Kancheevaram) sthalam.
1) Kanchi is one among the seven sacred cities – viz. Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya (Mayapuri), Kasi (Kashi), Kanchi, Avantika (Avanti), Dwaraka – that can bestow moksha. ‘Ka’ means Brahma and ‘Anjitham’ means who was worshipped. Since Lord Brahma worshipped Lord Vishnu as Varadan (giver of boons), this sthalam is known as ‘Kanchi’ or ‘kacchi’ in Tamil. Lord Brahma is the Adhi Devada of Deva Guru Bruhaspathi and hence Kanchi itself by name is connected to Deva Guru.
2) This temple name ‘Hasthigiri’ or ‘Atthigiri’ in Tamil is derived from legend that Airaavatam, the elephant of Indra had taken the form of a Hillock at Kanchi serving as the uttravedhi (second location) for Brahmas yaagam. Deva Guru vahana Is Elephant which denotes the kaaragathvam(propotiation) in this.
3) Lord Brahma wanted to worship Lord Narayana in ChaturBujam and went on long penance. Then an Asariri (divine voice) from Heaven informed him either he should perform one thousand Aswamedha yaagams or just one Aswamedha yaagam in a sacred place called ‘Sathya Vratha Kshetra’ which is known as ‘ Kanchi’. This means that a good deed performed in Kanchi will yield benefits by thousand times. ‘Asariri’ is the kaaragathva of Deva Guru Bruhaspathi and without grace of Guru, it is not possible to get divine voice.
4) Brahma commanded Vishwa karma, the architect of demiGods to create the Utthara Vedhi for the yaagam on top of Hasthigiri. Brahma’s wife Saraswathi, due to an altercation with her husband took the form of a fast moving Vegavathi River to destroy the yaaga saalai. Then Lord Varadharaajar took the form of a dam (sethu) across the Vegavathi river and arrested the flow of furious river. Emperumans merciful glance banished the anger of Saraswathi and restored her to sense and made her join the ongoing yaagam. The original moolaver (main) deity of Lord Varadhan was carved out of Atthi Wood (fig tree) and was immersed in temple tank in a silver casket as per the order of Emperuman which is taken out from water tank once in every 40 years. Next scheduled for viewing this, is the year 2019. A Granite deity brought from Pazhaya Srivaram was replaced as Moolavar in this place. Holy river, Goddess of Education (Saraswathi), the realization of good sense are indications of Jupiter, that signify above.
5) At the final stage of yaagam, Brahma offered his Vapaa (marrow from his own body) as Aahuthi (offering) and poured it in to the sacrificial fire when immediately arose the supreme jyothi housing Punya koti vimaanam (tower) with Lord Varadar uttchavar deity known as Dhivya Mangala Vigraham emerged at its centre from the womb of fire (Homa kundam). Brahma asked for the Boon from Emperuman to stay permanently in Sathya vratha kshethram to bless devotees forever. Lord Brahma performed Aaraadhanam to Lord Varadhan in Krutha Yugam as per his directive. Yaagams, supreme sacrifices, vedic fire and boons denote the kaaragathvam of Jupiter. Swami Desikar paasuram implies this in Hasthigiri Mahaathmyam as below:

6) Maharishi Mahasanthar started severe penance in forest to worship the beautiful, divine appearance of the Lord (dhivya mangala svarupam of Emperumanar). Indra sent Apsaras to distract the Rishi’s attention. Having failed in this attempt, he took in disguise of a Male Elephant started making love with female Elephants in front of Maharishi who was tempted in his mind by seeing this and wanted to be an Elephant. Because of Indras Mayajal, Mahasanthar become an Elephant called Gajendran. After wandering in forest for many years, this Elephant reached Godavari river. Realising its purvajanmam, under the advice from Mirukandu Rishi, Gajendran reached sathya vratha ksethram to pray Lord Varadhan by doing daily Aaradhana offering Lotus flowers to Emperuman with devotion. Thus one day when Gajendran was plucking Lotus flowers in the Pond, he was caught in foot by Crocodile and lost all hope of survival after fighting with crocodile for many years. Finally by surrendering to Lord Sriman NarayaNa, The Emperuman, Elephant cried aloud his divine name. Lord Varadan came to the resue of Gajendraazhvan and saved him by killing the crocodile. Gajendraazhvan worshipped Lord Varadhan in Trethayuga. Elephant and devotion signify Deva Guru.
7) Deva Guru had to undergo sufferings by being born in earth due to some curse from Rishies on account of differences in views on sastras. Hence Bruhaspathi following the advice of sage Bharadwaj went on severe penance at Kanchi praying for the grace of Lord Varadhan. Brahma Devan took pity on the plight of Devas who lost their senses without the divine guidance of Bruhaspathi in Devaloka and prayed to Lord Varadharajan for mercy on Bruhaspathi.Accordingly Lord Devaraja gave dharshan to Bruhaspathi and returned him to his divine self-appearance (svarupam) and position in Devaloga. As per the directive of Lord Varadhan, Bruhaspathi performed Aaradhana to Him in Dwaparayuga at Kanchi.
8) Lord Varadhan sannidhi vimanam is “Punniya Koti Vimanam” as it destroys our sins and bestows punyam by mere sight of vimana. Hence in this temple on Vaikunda Ekadesi day, there is no Swarga Vaasal like in other Vishnu temples, as this kshethra itself would bestow moksha with a mere thought and sight of puniya koti vimana signifying with the saying that Jupiter’s aspect to any moon sign makes a lots more benefit. “(???? ??????? ???? ?????”), the good aspect of Jupiter in a horoscope will give crores of good deeds. Deva Guru prayed Lord Varadhan under Punniya Koti Vimanam in Dwapara yuga. It is believed that every year on Purattasi Sravanam night, Deva Guru visits Anantha saras pushkarni to do Aaradhanam to Lord varadarajar.-

9) Perundevi Thayar sannidhi vimanam is known as ‘kalyana vimanam’ which matches the significance of Jupiter who is the karaga for 7th house (kalathra sthanam) for ladies and also Gurus transit to benefic houses in Gochara movement would give strength to individual horoscope for fixing marriage to the native. Malayala Nachiyar, daughter of king of Cheran who had her love and devotion for Sri Varadhan in his Archa murthi merged with Lord in his sannidhi due to the divine blessing of perundevi Thayar. Sight of Kalyana vimanam would shower golden blessings of Guru.
10) Lord Varadhan avathara star is Hastham and moon in this star only direct 7th aspect falls on meena Rasi owned by Jupiter.Sri Ramanujar star is Thiruvathirai,moon in this star on its only 7thaspect falls on dhanusu Rasi owned by Jupiter and similarly for Swami Desikar star is Sravanam, moon standing in this star aspects Kataka Rasi where Jupiter is exalted (uchcham) This shows that Guruparampara started from this Emperuman/piratti-Sri Ramanujar-swami Desikar and go on like this to the present Acharyas. Varadarajar is the God referred to by Nammazhwar in his very first pasuram of Thiruvaimozhi ‘Madhi Nalam Arulinan Avan'(Giver of wisdom) and in conformity with this saying, Nammazhwar appears in this temple without his usual ‘Gnana mudrai by keeping his hand on his chest. Acharyas and wisdom are gift of Jupiter.
11) Swami Desikar was approached by a Brahmin Brahmachari seeking financial support for his marriage.swamy Desikar took him to the sannidhi of divine mother Perumdevi Thayar and sang the famous ‘sristhuthi”.Immediately the sky opened up and rained Gold coins.Swami Desikar asked Brahmachari to take away the Gold coins for his marriage. Swamis divine grace to this poor Brahmin Brahmachari matching with blessings of Guru who is called Dhanakaraka for wealth and for Gold as his metal and also Guru denotes Brahmins by caste.
12) Thirumangai mannan was arrested for not paying taxes to chozha king as he spent all those money thus collected for Bhagavathas kainkaryam and also feeding vaishnavites. He prayed to Lord Varadarajar who came in his dream and showed the place of Treasure in vegavati river which was identified and given to the chozha king who realized the greatness of kaliyan and waived off the taxes due by giving back the treasure to him. Sri Thirumangai azhwar is posed in this temple at his sannidhi holding ‘NIDHI’ in his hand. Guru is the dhanakaraga who graced him as Treasure/Nidhi is his karagathavam.
13) The uniqueness of Lord sri Varadan in his Archa Murthi was that he had been the preceptor and guide of Sri Vaishnava Sampradhayam since he gave six words (tenets) through Thiru Kacchi nambigal advocating Prapatti by his divine answers to Sri Ramanujar. This six words contained the essence of our great philosophy that made Sri Ramanujar to teach Sri Bashyam to the world. The sixth word commandment from Sri Varadhan was the direction to Sri Ramanujar to surrender at the holy feet of Sri Peria Nambi seeking him as his Acharya. Hence Sri Ramanuja is posed in this temple with ‘vyakya mudrai’in the posture of instructing to denote this historical episode contrary to his normal posture in other temples with Anjali in worshipping manner.Lord Varadhan message through Nambi was given in ‘Thiru Kachi vaithan mandapam’. Thus Jupiter which signify the divine direction, philosophy, vedic sasthras,surrender to Acharya are well defined above.
14) Poigai Azhwar, very first of muthal three Azhwars took the Avatar without Garbha vaasam ( not by Birth) in a Golden Lotus Pushkarni at Kanchi as an incarnation of Pancha janyam, the divine white Conch of Lord Sriman Narayana. Panchajanyam which shape and sound resembles that of Holy Pranavam symbolzing the essence of Vedas. Golden lotus, pranavam, sound and Vedas are connected with Deva Guru through the Avatar of muthal azhwar.
15) Both Sri Ramanujar and Swami Desikar had their Roots at Kanchi and stayed for long time in this Kshetra and dedicated their entire life to nurture Vishitadvaitha philosophy. Lord Varadhan was dearer to both and as Araadhana murthi for sri Ramanujar while swami Desikar performed his prapatthi at the divine feet of Lord sri Varadharaajar. Sri Ramanujar undertook pilgrimage on foot to Dwaraka,Badrinath,Mathura ect besides he went on a Mission to Kashmiram to obtain a Grantham from Saradha peedam.similarly swami Desikar had travelled on visit to temples in Badri, Ayodhia, Kaasi, Salagram, Mathura, Avanti, Dwaraka . Long distance travels, Holy Mission and Pilgrimage trips are of Jupiter Karagathvam which signify in this context on above.
16) Vishitadvaitham is the only philosophy that logically explains the concept of Vedas and Upanishads Initiated by great Acharyas Sri Nathamuni, Sri Alavandar. Bagwath Sri Ramanuja propagated the doctrines to make the world realise in a logical and scientific manner the supremacy of this philosophy. Swami Desikar dedicated his life to the exposition and elaboration of this philosophy which was expounded by Sri Ramanuja and systematized the philosophy faithfully interpreting the ancient knowledge in the true sprit of metaphysics. Due to the divine grace of Jupiter who is identified with the idea of growth,expansiveness/ prosperity, was made possible by Acharyas.
17) Ikshvaku kula king kusethvagen who was childless for many years, following the advice from sage Sri Vedhaviyazar came to Kanchi and performed yaagam and Aaradhana to Lord Varadharaajar who was pleased with his devotion blessed him for parenthood to a child who later become a chakravarthi called Sri Vichvajith,rendering many kaingariams to Kanchi Ksethram. Similarly Lord Vardhan came in dream to Swami Desikar and blessed him for a son with all goodness, later known as Sri Varadhacharia. Jupiter is the putra karagha who denotes above.
18) Ganga Devi due to some curse was waiting at Kanchi to have darshan of Lord Varadharaajar in Garuda Seva to get relieved of her curse. Following the foot step of their leader Ganga Devi, other divine Thirthams also assembled and had holy bath before witnessing the event of Ganga Devi getting the divine grace of Emperuman in Garuda sevai. This took place at a place which was named as ‘Gangai Konda Mandapam’ and the holy tank where all sacred rivers converged for the holy Turmeric Bath is called as ‘Manjal Kalavai’ at Kanchi. Holy Rivers, yellow Turmeric water, Divine grace are of Jupiter’s karagathvam.
19) Bagwath Sri Ramanujar took sanyasam at Ananta saras Pushkarni and Lord Varadhan invested to him a Honorific Title ‘ Yethi Rajar ‘through Thiru Kacchi Nambigal meaning king among sanyasis.Similarly Swamy Desikar was given a sammanam of ‘Thirucchinnam’under the divine order of Lord Varadhan due to Desikars efforts to establish Tamil Divya Prabhandham recitation in Kanchi by defeating the opponents. Sri Desikar composed his work ‘Thiruchinnamalai’ Honour, Title and sanyasam are of karagathvam of Deva Guru.
20) Adhi seshan is doing Araadhana to Lord Perarulalan in Kali yuga at Anantha saras pushkarni in temple where Bagwath Sri Ramanuja took sanyasam. As per the pasuram of Kanchi sthala, Sri Poygaiyazhvar in Mudal Thiruvandadi (first phrase), Adhi Seshan is the Paduka of Emperuman in his verses ‘Ninraal Maravadiyam’ and hence Paduka as Acharya and its incarnation as Sri Ramanujar doing Aradhanam in Kali yuga in this temple are of importance for its connection to Bruhaspathi.
Swami Desikar works In Nutshell –
- a) Swami Desikar described the beauty and puranam of Kanchi in a Kaviyam “Hamsa chandasam” depicting in imaginary mind as if a Hamsa bird as messenger passing through this kshetram to hand over a message from Lord Rama to Sita piratti. Hamsa is the bird of Deva Guru.
- b) Kanchi called as ‘Golden city’ was the seat of Sri Vaishnava sambradhayam which witnessed expansiveness and growth in Ritual practices in the past few decades in line with karagathvam of Deva Guru taught us the practice to apply Srichooranam in “Golden yellow” described as Hiranya varnam as pirattis svarupam given in swami Desikars work which is the symbolic colour of Deva Guru with significance attached to Sri Lakshmi – The Goddess of wealth.
- c) Swami Desikar kumarar Sri Varadacharya composed Thanian on Desikar imploring as ‘sriman venkata natharyah kavitharkika kesari’ corresponding to “Gaja Kesari yogam” bestowed by Sri Varadacharyas Disciple Brahma tantra swantantra composed thanian saying ‘Gnana Vairaghya Bushanam’ denoting the’ Gnanam and vairaghyam bestowed by Jupiter.
In Kundalini yoga, sakthi is awaken through Brahma Nadi under the guidance of Guru and similarly for attaining eternal peace – Moksha, once jeevathma sheds its earthly body known as sthula sariram, it has to go via Brahma Nadi for which Jupiter grace is required and this is possible only with the blessing of Acharya. Those who want to get the grace of Guru must visit Kanchipuram (Kanjeevaram) on Thursday/ Purattasi (during Mid-September/Mid-October every year) Sravanam day and surrender to their Acharyar for his divine blessings.

WARNING: This article is presented in good intention just only for information purposes. Every reader should know to balance between this article and any specific ailments; one should not fail to consult his/her Medical practitioner or an highly experienced Astrologer, Gemologist before deciding on any matter related to this article. In those olden days an astrologer used to profess Medicine and the Ayurvedic & Siddha practitioners used to read the horoscope of their patients to find a remedial solution, just not only with medicine but also with Gem and Mineral therapy. Why, even today this is practiced in India widely; many Nadi Jothisha scripts are almost combined with Astrology, Gemology and Medicine! What they call these portions as Prediction of Each sign, then suggesting the Remedial measures as Shanti Gandam, then recommending Medicine to any specific illness or ailments from the Aushatha Gandam (Medicinal Cure).
Medical Astrology is that branch of Astrology dealing with Health. The 12 Rasis known as Signs of the Zodiac are linked to the Twelve Limbs of the body. The Ascendant rules the Head and the 12th House, the Feet. Let us, at the first place see the houses of Zodiac Chart and its allocated parts of human body within the Astrological perspective: Lagna known as Ascendant – i.e. the First house : Control Head, Body heat mechanism & overall physique. The 2nd Table below shows each house and its significance and the connectivity to human organs. The Law of Correspondences of Classical Philosophy has another term ” The Doctrine of Signatures”. This doctrine states that objects – animate and inanimate – are governed by planets and Classical Astrology has taken this concept beyond ” The Law of Cause and Effect ” and has defined it as Archetypal or Psychological.
Reflections of the intrinsic qualities of the planets can be seen in people, plants, animals & minerals. All that we see, touch, consume & harvest has a correspondence. By knowing our own planetary signature, we can consume those materials which correspond to our planetary signature & thus a healthy balance can be maintained. for an example, if in anyone’s horoscope, Jupiter is posited in Cancer and then the powerful positional as well as directional strength it holds. If the person is afflicted by any sort of disease, the escape route is the Jupiterian Way – viz consuming more vegetables & fruits, as he rules fruits & vegetables. If the native do that, he will be implementing what the Great Seers said long ago ( ” Naturopathic food is medicine and medicine is food ” )!
Since the Zodiac Signs represent the Five Basic Elements known as Ether, Fire, Air, Earth & Water, the ancient astrological savants assigned everything in the Universe to a planetary ruler, & considered all as the manifestation of the Elemental Five & their respective qualities – hot & dry, cold and dry, hot and humid , cold and humid. Jupiter rules “Kapha” & the Sun “Pitta’ ( the three humors of Ayurveda ). These elements were understood in a physical & metaphysical sense, as per the principle “As Above, So Below”. Many body constitutions are defined in Ayurveda. The Phlegmatic ( predominance of Kapha), the Bilious ( preponderance of Pitta ) & the Windy ( predominance of Vata ). There are 4 types of Body Constitution in Western Holistic Medicine – Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric &Melancholic. The Ayurvedic Therapy The Seven Planets (leaving aside the two shadow planets known as Rahu & Ketu, and of course, the newly found Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, which are not considered in this article) correspond to the 3 humors ( Doshas ) in Ayurveda In the Ayurvedic Model, the Seven Revolving Heavens are classified thus The seven planets correspond to the Seven Gross Tissue- elements, called Dhatus (Mineral composition & the planets influence or ruling part of human body mechanism. The table below illustrate the planet and its connectivity to the human body system.

If the 6th house is afflicted, there can be digestive tract disorders. Natural malefic in the 6th house, may create hyperacidity and gas trouble. Affliction either to the 7th house means disorders of the digestive tract, hyperacidity& gas trouble .The same holds good for the 6th house. If the 6th house or the 7th house is afflicted, one should be very careful about the body’s acidity level. The body’s PH value should be kept at 7. Anything less than 7 is dangerous. The 80% alkaline nature of the body should be kept up & acidity should not be above 20%. The best foods to be taken are Vedic Foods, which are low acidity, low cholesterol diet. The Acidity- Alkalinity ratio should be kept at 80% -20%. That ratio can be maintained if you consume 100 grams fruits and 300 grams vegetables daily and avoid non-natural food. Natural foods are alkaline & non-vegetarian basically acidic. From experience, it can be discerned that not only malefic planets bring in problems from enemies, but also problems to the stomach.
If the 12th house is afflicted by malefic planets, there can be affliction to the feet. We have seen many a patient suffering from 12th house affliction and which manifests as problems on the feet. Similarly, 4th house affliction means trouble to the Heart. There are some astrologers who take this from the Horoscope of the Cosmic Man, (Kaala Purusha) that is from His Ascendant Aries. This method also yields results but from the experience, we follow the dictum of Natal Astrology that it is the Ascendant of the native which is the head & the Descendant the stomach region. I know many an Astrologer who follow this from Aries Ascendant (Lagna) & if a malefic is posited in Virgo, in the 6 H ofKalapurusha (Cosmic Man), he predicts stomach problems for the native. Or if a malefic planet is positioned ed in Taurus, he predicts wounds on the face for the native. Affliction to any house indicates affliction to the corresponding part of the body. North Node or any other malefic in the Sixth is indicative of stomach trouble & ulceration. Fourth house affliction means that the heart is afflicted and first house affliction means that the head is afflicted. The planets correspond to the different systems of Man thus from experience, Vedic Medical Astrology is found to be very accurate.
Gem Therapy In Astrology
How can therapeutic gems can cure your ailments? Can this be true? Just let us look at the Modern Science. Physicists tell us that all matter is energy in physical form. All the particles, be it human or otherwise, it is Crystal. Gemstones are certainly no exception. Formed over eons, often at high pressure of the Earth’s rotation, the Earth’s gemstones embody intense concentrations of energy. The energetic and physical properties of gemstones are already employed in many aspects of today’s technology. The ability of crystals to conduct and transform energy is no longer a foreign idea to us. For example, every television, quartz clock, mobile phone, and computers, laptops etc. runs smoothly thanks to Quartz crystals. Today the energetic properties of gems are also being used to improve people’s health at a fundamental level.
Efforts to use gems for healing have a long history. In India as well as in many other places, people have sought to uncover the abilities that lay hidden within the intensely compressed crystalline structures of gemstones – particularly the ability to heal. Over the centuries, our attempts have met with varying degrees of success and failure. Yet, when using gems for health, something was always missing – for, until recently, we have been unable to discover a systematic way to unlock the full therapeutic powers of gems and to achieve consistent, long-lasting results. But what they found to be more energetic ones are the real nine Gems named, Ruby, Pearl, Coral, Emerald, Diamond, Blue sapphire, Zircon and Cat’s eye. In the Indian and Hindu system of Astrology, though they found many other semi precious stones, they count only these nine Gem stone as Medicinal and Cosmetic radiation value.
When one finds there is a total failure in this therapy, then he/she should check for the genuineness of the stone that is used. The most essential to the success of any form of medicine is the nature of its therapeutic tools. To be most effective and reliable, medicine must be pure and high in quality. The purity and quality requirements of the gems used for healing parallel those of any other form of medicine. Meeting these strict requirements can make or break a gem’s therapeutic worth. For gemstone energy medicine to be effective and consistent, the use of only therapeutic-quality gemstones is required. To find out the purity of any Gem, you just can walk into any Gemologist or Gemology Laboratory for a Gem Test.
It is found from the past experience, that a gem’s shape profoundly affects the way it can express its energy – and thus its ability to deliver its healing properties. The ideal shape for a therapeutic gem is the sphere. The spherical shape unleashes a gem’s potential to reach and heal the deepest energetic aspects of our being, where the root causes of disease and distress lie. Therapeutic gemstone spheres radiate an incomparable energy that can affect all our dimensions, physical and subtle, and hence heal and transform our entire being. This is what the Vedic Astrology relate to.
With these two concepts – the selection of only the highest quality gems and the use of gems cut into the proper shape – represent a simple, yet seismic, shift in the understanding of how gems can work therapeutically. Proper selection, shaping, color and use of gemstones can transform them into therapeutic power tools. The potent healing energy of therapeutic gems can deeply heal and nourish every aspect of the human form.
Luckily, enjoying the health benefits of gemstone spheres is exceptionally easy and straightforward. Albeit costly. Based on this information, many therapy protocols using gem spheres have been developed. However, powerful benefits can be obtained simply by wearing therapeutic gems around the neck. Wearing a therapeutic gemstone necklace allows the gems’ healing energy to penetrate the deepest levels of the wearer’s physical and energetic dimensions. There, the gems’ energy goes to work dissolving energetic blockages and producing beneficial changes in the body, mind, and emotions.
The experiences of many persons have proved that the information presented here in are quiet agreeable in the healing Gemology therapy.. These experiences of healing provide our first glimpses of what becomes possible when we put this new form of energy medicine into practice. These Gem stones do work, giving an ample scope for alternate medicine. But one should be very cautious and careful in choosing the right stone and Gem.
The following stones are suggested in Astrology and also prescribed in Ayurveda for specific disorders; but how far has achieved permanent cure is a question to ponder! However, if predicted earlier and as a preventive step, if one wears the recommended gem, then certainly the results are encouraging. Say, instead of sufferings for 100%, it should reduce to fifty percent or even less.
RUBY is recommended for : Rheumatism, acute chest pain, Rib & Lungs weaknesses.
Pearl is suggested for Insomnia, Migraine, and severe headache.
Coral is recommended for Blood Anemia, Liver problems, Jaundice and for women who suffer with stomach pains during their menstrual course period and impotency in both genders.
Emerald is recommended for : Cancer, Dysentery, Jaundice, Abdominal irregularities, Chest pain & nail distortions.
Yellow sapphire Known as Guru (Pushparagam or Pushkaraj) is suggested for impotence, cholera and gas trouble and stomach pains.
Diamond is recommended for Diabetes and heart problems and Pneumonia.
Blue sapphire is recommended for those who suffer from Neurological problems, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Gastric Ulcer, Tuberculosis, and bowel system defects.
Zircon (Gomethakam or Gometak) is suggested for skin ailments and
Cat’s Eye (known as Vaidoorya or Vaiduryam) is recommended for blood purifications.
On what basis a gem stone is recommended? How the size and color is considered? What if one no longer needs the specified stone?
Oh, it all depend upon your astrologer’s expertise and experience! The most specific method is based on the prescription by a well qualified Astrologer. It is the system and reading of a native’s horoscope that is taken into account, with various astrological factors before prescribing the gemstone. This recommended system leaves almost nothing to chance and tries to factor in all aspects before prescription. The steps involved in this system are discussed below, but it should be kept in mind that a qualified Astrologer alone is capable and a prerequisite to make use of this gem stone therapy.
First, The Ascendant known as Lagna is studied and looked into and then the Lord of Ascendant/Lagna is checked for its strength, weakness and auspiciousness in the Rasi (Moon sign) and Navamsa chart.
Then the the current running & ruling Mahadasha period (Major Planetary ruling Period) is checked. Sometimes the ruling planet of antardasha (sub-division period) is also factored in.
Thirdly, the Moon sign is checked and the lord of Moon sign’s placement is checked for its strength and weaknesses.
Then the birth star known as Janma Nakshatra is checked including the lord and its dispositor for auspiciousness.
Then, all the nine planets are examined in Moon sign Rasi chart and checked for its strength and weaknesses, if any.
Next the strength and weaknesses of each sign with its owenership, Kendra Bhala, Trikona Bhala and sthana Bhala are judged; this is to consider various aspects of the native’s immediate threat or benefit.
Simultaneously, the Navamsa chart has to be studied for all the factors as it will pinpoint many other facts which are overlooked in the Main Rasi Chart.
Lastly, the chalit chart should also be examined to verify if a planet changes its position or motion house-wise. If any planets move, retrograde, exaltation or debilitation does vary because of the cusp changes, then it should also be considered before recommending any gem stone.
If the above factors are properly judged and used by a well qualified Astrologer, surely it will give a clear indications about the type of gemstone, size and mode (whether a pendant type or a ring) to be prescribed for a native. Normally the stones are prescribed for strengthening the planets which results in beneficial effects. Thus, in general a gem stone is suggested where a planet’s positioning is weaker or, when the Ruling Mahadasa period warrants. The native who remain in touch with their astrologers as a counselor, derive more benefits, as by then your Family Astrologer remembers everything that is plus and minus in your birth chart known as Janma Kundali. In such cases, the astrologer is able to recommend a specific gemstones for a particular period only to derive the maximum benefits of it.
Once the ill effect period is over, or when no longer the recommended Gem stone is needed, it is to be removed and never to be used by another person. When the stipulated period is over, and the need arises for a change in a gemstone then it is recommended by the counseling Astrologer for a further period. This dynamic way of prescription is actually very beneficial and is gaining momentum in modern times. Logically, some of the gemstones interfere with the cosmic effects of other gems also and thus are in conflict. Under such circumstances, this dynamic prescription of gemstones is very useful as the astrologer can derive benefits for the native from various gemstones at different points of time, without any negative effect of the conflict of gems. Here too, one has to be a regular customer/client of a particular Astrologer, who can guide you throughout your life, as is your family doctor!
And most importantly, one should be very careful in choosing the stone, as normally a used gem stone might not be giving the full effect as that of a new one. Also, once the period of its effectiveness is not felt, then too you should remove it, as your Astrologer will guide you next. Here too, all the gem stones that are once used, has no resale value at all, irrespective of its cost and weight- age!
In some complicated conditions of a native’s horoscope and if multiple remedy is to be found for some specific weak planetary alignments, there are many other remedies and combinations are listed even for common cold, allergy One has to study the horoscope in detail, find out the weaker planet and its current influence on the native and then to see the running Dasa Period for current, before recommending any remedy. Quite apart from the recommended stone therapy, the olden days people used to take remedial treatments with Basmams (the ashes of specific stone – such Thangabasmam as Gold metal ash, Chandiya Basmam for Silver ash etc). Only an experienced Astrologer & Gem therapist can guide you to proper Gem or an Experienced Astrologer with Ayurvedic knowledge too can get you some solutions for aforesaid ailments. The nava ratnam known as Nine precious Gems in itself is very poisonous; however, if the same is utilized in a methodical way as listed in the Vedic scripts, it helps one to come out of the ill effects of any malefic placement of planets in one’s horoscope. But to find an Astrologer who also has the knowledge in the Vedic Medicine proposition is become like some what find a needle in the hay stack! |

The above two chart give you a clear picture as to star-wise as well as Degree-wise placement of constellations in each house. These twelve houses are known as Rasi.
Whether it is north Indian style or South Indian style of horoscope chart, normally both carry two chart namely Lagna Rasi Chakram ( Lagna Kundali) and Navamsa Chakram (Navamsa Kundali). Though the system and divisions in both style are the same, the only difference being South Indian Horoscope Chart shown in Clock-wise movements, wherein North Indian Horoscope charts are shown in Anti Clock-wise.

Though the Navamsa Kundali known as Navamsa chakram is similar to the main horoscope chart, the planetary alignments are positioned according to the placement of planets in the original main chart. This is called as 9 divisions of nakshatra rasi to make Navamsa Kundali.
The above chart shows 01 as Ascendant. But practically, whichever the sign is falling into ascendant that will be placed at the top (in place of 01 – here the 01 or the Ascendant is not necessarily “Aries” but can be any other Lagna). Then it is counted from there on, in anti-clock wise till the 12th sign. Most important to note here is, that which ever the Lagna a person is born under, placed on the top.
Now for the houses and the moon sign along with Ruler of the houses, the following chart is given in detail for a simple study. One can easily recognize the zodiac signs and its influence with each body part and plus and minus points of its actual placement at the time of birth. In the Natal chart erected for a person, the planetary alignments are to be taken into account, while giving any judgment for the same. However, the Running Dasa Bukti, and its sub, sub-sub divisions are to be considered; also, the transition of any planet at a given time is to be considered for predictions. The following Rasi Chakram Chart illustrate the simple notations on the same.

Here is the table with ready reference to your Chandrashtama days. In simple terms, Chandrashtamam means a day when the moon is transiting through the eighth house to your own moon sign which is known as Rasi in Hindu Astrology system. Though it take roughly two and half days for moon to cross each sign, the entire two and half days of moons transition into your eighth sign is considered as Chandrashtamam; the much critical part of these days are only 13 degree 20 minutes duration of moon’s movement, or a specific full star or constellation known as Nakshatram that affects most when it crosses specific star of that eigth house sign. It is strongly recommended to avoid this Chandrashtama days for any important work or other auspicious functions.
Generally, everyone needs to take more precaution and must be alert on Chandrashtamam days which occurs roughly once in 28 days. If you know your Janma nakshatra, then it is easy to follow the following chart and you can prevent many quarrels, arguments, unpleasantness, uneasiness, tensions and a lot more misfortune! The star or nakshatra indicated in Red are the corresponding Chandrashtamam days for a specific nakshatra given in the same line. The Nakshatra are listed with expected spelling changes that might be in use from place to place. Also, six hours from the time of the Nakshatra begin and six hours after the Nakshatra ends do fall in the Chandrashtama timings. Though generally, all the 2 and half days of the Moon’s movement in the eighth sign of your moon sign is so considered as Chandrashtamam days, you can specifically take and include around twelve hours prior to your Chandrashtama Nakshatra and twelve hours later too you should include. This is just to get the accurate timing, as the 16th star is Chandrashtama may not be correctly falling into the said nakshatra timing. To avoid any calculation errors and to safeguard, one should always remember that Chandrashtama is for full 2 and half days of Moon’s transition of 8th sign to your birth Rasi (Moon sign). You will find the Ruling star or nakshatra of the day, in all the almanacs known as Panchangam, whether western or Indian. You can click here to learn how to check and read a Panchangam.

Now for the nine sets of Nakshatra, known as Janma – Anujanma & Trijanma Stars, three each in one set is explained below. For a person born in Aswini, then Aswini is his/her Janma Nakshatra and Stars Makam & Moolam would be the Anujanma & Trijanma nakshatra. But for the person born in Makam, then Moolam & Aswini would be the Anujanma & Trijanma nakshatra. To simplify, for anyone’s birth star known as Janma Nakshatra, the other two star in the same line would be that of Anujanma & Trijanma Nakshatras. The following table shows the details of each set:
| Janmam |

In the above chart, you will see sets of three stars in each row segment which indicate the Janma, Anujanma & Trijanma nakshatras. The inauspicious stars in general for any new venture or transactions, or for loaning, give & to lend money or for hospitalizations, these stars are highlighted that should be avoided. These are known in Tamil as “Theetharu Nakshatram” means which are all of negative effects to take any travel, pilgrimage, long journey etc.
Please do not get confused or misled; these stars are specifically not good for any monetary transactions or for hospitalization; otherwise these too are good as other stars. Those who are born in the highlighted stars need not worry at all. This speciation is mentioned only for new ventures or transactions and it has nothing to do if it happen to be of anyone’s birth star. It is also recommended to avoid one’s own birth star (Janma nakshatra) to start any new venture or taking any long travel.

| Illustrated below are the terms used in match any horoscope for a marriage and the compatibility depends on maximum counts that goes fine with each other. Though in the next article under Star Matching Table you’ll find the normal procedure for acceptable terms for a Vivaha or marriage, the listed below are just for the sake of people to understand the values underlined in our ancient Hindu Astrology System. To the best of my knowledge, these are the just and perfect analysis that can bring a very prosperous and bonded life to the newly wed couples, if every aspect is keenly understood.
Chart for Star Matching, Kalathra Dosham, Rahu Ketu Dosham and Kuja Dosham, Chevvai Dosham known as Mangal Dosham (Mangalik) are explained in detail below. Even a lay man can just compare and easily understand these basic elements in a person’s horoscope.
I am giving below the matching criteria for alliance and marriage proposals for those who still believe in a traditional and long trusted method of Star matching. You can just find these details in any Almanac known as Panchangam. I am translating the astrological points in English for the net surfers to understand it easily, more so for those who do not read or write Indian Languages Sure, for a happy & successful married life, the horoscope of girl should be not only good but also match with yours (boy). Nowadays divorces are increasing manifold. It is impossible find an horoscope that is good in all respects and match with yours in all aspects but a minimum requirement should be met with. Only then you will have a happy and harmonious married life. So attach considerable importance to the quality of girl’s horoscope and it’s matching with that of yours. You may even take the advice of experts before you take a final decision.
Girl’s Star (Dinam)
If the girl’s star is Mrigasheersham, Makam, Swathi, Anusham and Uthirattathi then you need not look into other details and can immediately select her. These stars are considered to be exceptionally good and so do not require matching of horoscope from other angles. But one MUST check for Kuja Dosham known as Chevvai dosham or Mangalik or Manglik. This is the only condition laid down to chose among the above five Nakshatram known as nakshatra or constellations.
Rajju (Topmost prioritygiven for this by every Caste. )
Matching of Rajju is most important. Star of girl should not be the same or 10th or 19th of boys star. Some same stars are however exceptions viz. Thiruvathirai, Makam, Mrigaseersham, Swathi, Anusham & Uthirattathi. Excepting the six stars listed herein, for other stars if Rajju match is not found. then the alliance should be dropped at the first place. NO SAME RAJJU horoscopes should be matched with the exception to the six stars listed. This is the most vital and important match that one should and must consider, irrespective of Caste. creed or religion
Star
Count from girl’s star up to your star and divide the figure by nine. If the reminder is 2,4,6,8 then matching is good. If it is 5 it is tolerable. But if the reminder is 1, 3, 7 then there is no matching.
Rasi (Moon sign)
Your Rasi should be at least 6 counts from that of the girl. The Lord of your Rasi should be friendly one to the Girls Rasi and not an enemy sign to the girl’s Rasi.

The second column in the Table gives the name of animal associated with the star. This is an indication of compatibility for male/female Yoni of the star. Thus if matching and not that of enemies star, then the couples should enjoy their sexual life to the fullest satisfaction and it makes them more bonded to each other. The Yoni of girl and boy should be of different one in star/animal. Further the animals associated with girl’s star should not be that of an enemy star of that of boy’s star such as Cow-Tiger, Elephant- Lion, Horse-Buffalo, Serpent-Mongoose, Monkey-Goat, Cat-Rat, Deer-Dog etc. It is easy one can just find the enemy to one another.
Ganam (Qualities of Person)
The fifth column in the Table gives the ganam associated with a star. Boy and girl should belong to the same ganam. If boy belongs to ‘Angel’ ganam, the girl can be of ‘Human being’ ganam. There will be agreement if boy belongs to ‘demon’ ganam and girl to ‘Human being’ ganam’. If the ganam of both boy and girl belong to ‘Demon’ then the star of boy should be above 14th of girl’s star.
Mahaendram
The agreement is good if the count from girl’s star to boy’s star is 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25.

The girl and boy should not belong to the same Nadi.
Chevvai Dosham: (Kuja Dosham or Maglik known as Mangalik)
If Chevvai (Mars) is placed in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran; the horoscope has a strong Chevvai dosham. If Chevvai (Mars) is placed at 7th or 8th house from Sukran (Venus), there is Chevvai dosham but it is slightly milder than earlier. If Chevvai (Mars) is placed at 2nd, 4th, or 12th house from Lagnam, Chandran or Sukran (Venus) there is mild Chevvai dosham. For horoscope agreement, the Chevvai dosham in girl and boy’s horoscope should be of matching order. If Chevvai is in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran in girl’s horoscope, then Chevvai should also be in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran in Boy’s horoscope for matching. Otherwise, there will be no agreement. If Chevvai is along with Guru or is seen by Guru (5th or 7th or 9th house from Guru), then the degree of Chevvai dosham gets reduced. If Chevvai is in own house or is exalted or debilitated, the Chevvai dosham gets reduced or is not present (according to some).
Rahu/Ketu Dosham:
If Rahu/Ketu is in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran, there is Rahu/Ketu dosham. For matching, there should be Rahu/Ketu dosham in both girl’s and boy’s horoscope or both horoscopes should be free from Rahu/Ketu dosham
Dasa Sandhi: (Running Same Dasa or Bukthi for both
No dasa in girl and boy’s horoscope should change within 6 months of each other within 30years from marriage. If such a conjunction of Dasa occurs, there is Dasa sandhi and the horoscopes should not be matched.
Marriage Star Matching as per North Indian & East Indian Type (With Gunas & Values)
In the above, the system of South Indian Star Matching is explained. Now let us see how the North Indian system calculates the star matching. It is related the effect resulting from the consonance and dissonance, amity and hospitality, between the stars (and destinies) of a couple proposed to be bride and bridegroom. Having ascertained that the houses (kula), the family names (Gotra – same Gotra must be avoided, as it is considered brother-hood namely Sahotra), and the individual dispositions (Svabhava) of the postulants are free from inherent blemish, their Gunas (qualities or requisites) must be determined from the zodiacal signs and the Nakshatras presiding over their birth. Though, there is nothing much difference while taking the general qualities, the North Indian system is very specific about the points earned for each Guna, that is quite different from that of Generally acknowledged South Indian Astrological system.
The total value given for Gunas are 36; of this at least more than half (nineteen minimum) are requisite for a prosperous match; and thence upwards, the fruit resulting from their influence is proportional to their number of Gunas count. Please take a careful look at each of the Table given here below under Chart-A, Chart-B& Chart-C, then take the gunas obtained in total for each head from these tables and add it to the total sum to arrive to the conclusion whether one matches or not.
Chart – A indicate the presiding planet, the nature (or genus) and the caste that belong to the sign (in theory, not in practice) of the alliance.

Chart-B shows the number of Guna, or qualities, requisite for a prosperous match distributed under eight headings.
Chart-C explains the group and class to which a person belongs when the asterism. (Nakshatra, or constellation) of his birth-time is known, together with his Nadi, or hour of twenty-four minutes. The twenty-seven stars are classified under three heads: of Divine (Deva gana), of Human (Manusha Gana) and of Demons (Rakshasas), (this is just same as that of South Indian type) and the star determines to which the querent one belong to. Moreover, each Nakshatra / Star. is divided into four quarters, and of these nine quarter make one zodiacal sign. The name-letter used for each quarter, the moon sign each quarter belong to & Naming a child based on these can also be obtained from another page of this website under the headline Naming As per Astrology.

Please consider the tables more carefully. As is shown Chart- B, the Gunas are of various values and are distributed under eight heads.
1. Caste of the sign (oh, not of the person!). If both fall in the same caste signs, or the caste of the bridegroom be higher, there is one Guna (of the thirty-six) otherwise there is none.
2. Vasiya known as attraction to each other, or keeping in subjection, one of the prime considerations of marriage. If the zodiacal signs of bride and bridegroom be of the same genus (Chart-A) this represents two Gunas. If the person kept in subjection be also the “food” of the other, this counts for only one-half (Guna). If there be natural friendship between the general of the bride and bridegroom this stands for two Gunas; and if one be an enemy to the other, and also keep the other in subjection, it represents only one Guna. The consideration is as follows: To the human genus every quadruped, saving only the lion, remains in subjection; for instance, the quadruped ram is subject to, and is the “food” of, the human genus, with one exception, the Brahman. The same is the case with the fish and the crab amongst lower animals. The scorpion is the general enemy to the human race, and other animals are enemies as well as food. Thus we discover which of the two persons will hold the other in subjection.
3. The Nakshatras (Chart-C) must be considered as follows: The bride’s Nakshatra should be counted from that of the bridegroom, and the number be divided by nine. If the remainder be three, five or seven, it is a sign of bad fortune; and vice versa with all others. Similarly the bridegroom’s lunation should be counted from the bride’s; and if, after dividing as before by nine, the remainders of both parties indicate good fortune, this counts as three Gunas, the maximum. Only if one portend well, it counts as one Guna and a half: otherwise there is no Guna.
4. Class. This is simply classifying the physical compatibility. The Yoni or the personal organ that equates to a specific animal is to considered for mutual friendship/lasting pleasures. The perfect friendship counts for four Gunas; common friendship as three, indifference as two; enmity as one, an exceeding enmity as half a Guna. Perfect friendship can subsist only between two human beings of the same caste. Cows and buffaloes, elephants and rams, live in common friendship. Cows and tigers, horses and buffaloes’ lions and elephants, rams and monkeys, dogs and deer, cats and mice, snakes and ichneumons are exceedingly inimical. Common enmity and indifference are easily exemplified by the lives of ordinary men and beasts.
5. Planets. Or the Rasi Lords. If the presiding planets of both persons be the same, and there be perfect friendship, this counts for five Gunas; or four if only common friendship. If there be friendship with an enemy of the other person it reduces the value to one Guna, and if both have such friendship to one half. In cases of mutual indifference the Gunas amount to three, and if there be mutual enmity there is no Guna.
6. Groups as in Chart-C. If both belong to the same group, six Gunas are present; also if the bridegroom belong to the Divine-group and the bride to the Human-group. The reverse reduces it five: if the bridegroom be of demon-group, and the bride of Divine-group, there is only one Guna, and in all other cases none.
7. Kuta, that is the agreement of the zodiacal signs and Nakshatras of bride and bridegroom. It is of two kinds, auspicious and ill-omened. The Kuta is fortunate if the bride and bridegroom be born in the same sign, but in different asterisms, or in the same asterisms, but in different signs, or, lastly, in the same asterisms but in different quarters. A difference of seven asterisms is also auspicious; for instance, if the bridegroom’s asterism be Ashvini (Chart-C) and that of the bride Pushya. The same is the case with three, four, ten and eleven asterisms, and with a second sign from an even sign; for instance, Cancer being the fourth is an even sign, and if the sign of one party be Cancer and the other Virgo, the Kuta is auspicious. This is also the case with a sixth sign from an even sign; and an eighth and a twelfth from an odd sign. But a second sign, a fifth, a sixth, a ninth, and a twelfth from an odd sign, and an eighth from an even sign, are unfortunate Kutas.
The Gunas of Leo and Virgo are both auspicious. If there be a fortunate Kuta, and the sign of the bridegroom be remote from that of the bride, and if there be enmity between the classes of the two, this conjunction will represent six Gunas. If there be the same sign and different asterisms, or the same asterism and different signs, the Gunas number five. In an unfortunate Kuta if there be friendship between the classes of the postulants, and the bride’s asterism be remote from that of the bridegroom this counts for four Gunas; but if there be only a single condition, it reduces the requisites to one. In all other cases there is no Kuta. However, the sixth & eighth moon sign or vice-versa is not an auspicious one, as it is said to be a Maraka sthana (sufferings equal to death effects) are considered as enemy sign. One can just see, Mars being the lord of 1st and 8th houses, still the match is not recommended because of the Sashta-Astakam nature. Likewise, Taurus & Libra are of under same Lord, Venus, yet this come under Sashta- Ashtama effects.
8. The Nadi or point of time. If the Nadis of the bride and bridegroom be different, as e.g., first and last, first and middle, last and middle, this conjunction represents eight Gunas. The requisites are nil when the Nadi is the same. Most importantly, it should not fall in the same Nadi for the partners.
In all, there should be 18+ gunas for matching the horoscopes; if it is lesser, then it is strongly recommended to avoid the alliance.

The general condition for star matching is to count from the Girl’s star; however in some parts of India, they do count from the boy’s star for a match. It would look odd, if counted from a Grill’s star the horoscope and nakshatra might match fine, but if same is done from the boy’s star, it might give a contradicting verdict! Though the best suitable and suggested stars are mentioned, in one or two cases, it is likely that you will find the Rasi as 6th or 8th houses from boy’s or’ girl’s star (Sashta-Ashtakam known as Sashtashtakam). There is always an exception for some constellations viz. Makam, Mrigaseersham, Thiruvathirai, Swathi & Poorattathi which are considered for match even if Sashtashtaka Dosham is present.
In my humble opinion, whether it is Rasi Sashtashtakam or Lagna Sashtashtakam, it is best to avoid these matches. Though, there won’t be any critical problem with this Rasi Sashtakam, if matched, the couple will disagree in every single matter and lead a life with quarrel (& fight!) daily, thus losing mental peace and happiness. It is said, the 6th & 8th Houses denote enmity & longevity in general, the brain wave clash occurs more frequently. However, in a few exceptional cases, I did come across, the couples are more co-operative, understanding and fond of each other, despite the presence of sixth & 8th house match; in these cases, though the Rasi stands to be opposing, the nakshatra lords are friendly or equal! Only in this context, it is suggested to avoid. I need to put this here, as some of the visitors asking for clarification, when a star is in the 8th house of the moon sign from the boy or girl, how this can be matched! Also, to avoid confusion, I omitted the second best suited stars, which too confuses them when it comes to star match. Even if Dina porutham is not there. you can certainly consider other aspects if it is of not Same Rajju. (in a very few exceptional cases, it is stated that the Pada Rajju is not of much harmful and can be considered.)
Note: For Aswini, Makam, Thiruvathirai, Mrigaseersham, Swathi & Uthirattathi stars Same Rajju is acceptable. These are the only Starts that gets an Exception for Rajju match. If it is the same star for boy and girl then it is considered for alliance, but in general inter-alia within the above six other stars, then not considered in general. Star matching can be considered if most of the other aspects are scoring on the higher side.
Also, the following eight stars, if that are of same for a boy or girl should never be considered for alliance: Bharani, Ayilyam, Swathi, Kettai, Moolam, Avittam, sathayam & Poorattathi.
Please read my article giving the value & importance of Star Match and matching stars at this page, where you’ll find the entire meaning of each aspect in Star Matching according to Hindu system.
Kalathra Dosham Horoscopes – a brief definitions.
Kalalthra Dosham or the malefic effects of the 7th house from a boy or girl’s horoscope is discussed here. Please consult your astrologer before deciding the factors as there are numerous exceptions and pariharams are given in the subject.
The placement of Sukran (Venus), who is known as ‘kalathrakarakan’ (planet influencing spouse or life partner), should be checked. If it is in 7th house, the horoscope has dosham. It can be matched with only boys having Sukran (Venus) in 7th house.
If Rahu or Ketu is in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam (Ascendant) or Chandran (Raasi known as moon sign), there is Rahu/Ketu dosham. For a match, there should be Rahu/Ketu dosham in both girl’s and boy’s horoscope or both horoscopes should be free from Rahu/Ketu dosham
If in a Girl’s horoscope:
Mangalya Dosham (Death of Husband or Wife) – Planetary alignment and positions that causes early widowhood for girls are stated as under:
Strong malefic planet in the 8th house in a female horoscope is stated to cause early widow hood. If this malefic who is in the 8th house in female horoscopes is owner of the 7th house, and then widowhood should not be predicted.
When there is a malefic in the 8th house and if the 2nd or 4th house is occupied by strong benefic like Jupiter the wife will predecease the husband, since 8th house aspect by Jupiter even if there are malefic in the 7th house; and if the 8th house in the horoscope of the girl if there is a strong and powerful benefic in her 9th house she will have both good marital life and prosperous children.
If 6th & 8th house lords are in conjunction and occupy the 7th house in a female horoscope if moon with no digit strength occupies 7th house as lord of the 6th which will happen only if lagna is Kumbha, if mars and Jupiter occupy 7th or if Saturn is alone in the 7th or if Saturn is alone in the 7th house aspect by 8th lord she will become a widow.
If Saturn is in the 8th house aspect by strong malefic in a female horoscope she may not get married. There are some exceptions if other favorable factors in the horoscope are indicated.
If in a male horoscope weak moon is in the 5th house from lagna and if lagna, seventh and twelfth houses are occupied by other malefic he will neither have wife nor children.
If in a male horoscope:
Saturn in Pisces (Meenam) as 7th house, and if the Star Sun is in the Lagna he will lose his wife and this can happen only if lagna is in Virgo or Kanni.
Jupiter is in the 7th in Virgo or Kanni and there are malefic in the 4th house from lagna, the wife will meet with an early death.
Sun and Venus are conjoined in the 5th, 7th, and 9th house from Lagna; the wife will have deformity of limbs.
Sun and Rahu or Ketu are in the 7th House he will loose all his wealth either through the bad character of his wife or sickly wife.
If moon and Saturn are in the 7th he will not have progeny. It is also likely that he may not get married.
If lord of the 8th is in the seventh, he will lose his wife very early.
If Mars and Saturn are in the seventh in Cancer, he will get a good and beautiful wife. This can happen only if the lagna is Makara or Capricorn.
The lord of the seventh house when placed in the sixth, eighth or twelfth from lagna or ascendant but not in his swakshetram (own sign) or exaltation sign ucha will afflict his wife’s health.
If Venus known as Sukran, The Goddess of Love, is joined with a malefic planet the persons wife will undergo serious afflictions even to the extent of affecting her longevity the result will be the same if Venus or Sukran occupies her debilitation sign neecha Rasi or an enemy sign or asthagatha combust.
If Saturn occupies eighth or tenth house in a male horoscope it will afflict his wife’s longevity.
If in a male horoscope Rahu occupies the seventh house from the lagna or ascendant or Venus or the moons sign it is said to cause his wife’s death in earlier stage.
The above are a brief compilation of most vital questions that arises while comparing horoscope for marriage match. Please do not just come to conclusion that these are the only things that one need to check or accept. There are many more explanations and exceptions that speaks volume of other matters. Hence it is always suggested to consult an experienced astrologer for other combinations for a suitable star match for vivaha – marriage match.

Environment :
[root@oel7 ~]# uname -a
Linux oel7.localdomain 3.8.13-55.1.6.el7uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Wed Feb 11 14:18:22 PST 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Steps :
1) [root@oel7 ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/root_vg-root 5.0G 4.5G 548M 90% /
2)
PV /dev/sda2 VG root_vg lvm2 [6.00 GiB / 0 free]
as here it shows that there is no space left on root_vg volume group, so first i need to extend VG
3) [root@oel7 ~]# vgextend root_vg /dev/sdb5
Volume group "root_vg" successfully extended
4) [root@oel7 ~]# pvscan
PV /dev/sda2 VG root_vg lvm2 [6.00 GiB / 0 free]
PV /dev/sdb5 VG root_vg lvm2 [2.00 GiB / 2.00 GiB free]
5) Now extend the logical volume
[root@oel7 ~]# lvextend -L +1G /dev/root_vg/root
Size of logical volume root_vg/root changed from 5.00 GiB (1280 extents) to 6.00 GiB (1536 extents).
Logical volume root successfully resized
6) [root@oel7 ~]# resize2fs /dev/root_vg/root
resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/root_vg/root
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
as root partition is not a ext* partiton so , you resize2fs will not work for you.
7) to check the filesystem type of a partition
[root@oel7 ~]# df -Th
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/root_vg-root xfs 6.0G 4.5G 1.6G 75% /
devtmpfs devtmpfs 481M 0 481M 0% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 491M 80K 491M 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs tmpfs 491M 7.1M 484M 2% /run
tmpfs tmpfs 491M 0 491M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/data_vg-home xfs 3.5G 2.9G 620M 83% /home
/dev/sda1 xfs 497M 132M 365M 27% /boot
/dev/mapper/data_vg01-data_lv001 ext3 4.0G 2.4G 1.5G 62% /sybase
/dev/mapper/data_vg02-backup_lv01 ext3 4.0G 806M 3.0G 22% /backup
above command shows that root is an xfs filesystem , so we are sure that we need to use xfs_growfs command to resize the partition.
8) [root@oel7 ~]# xfs_growfs /dev/root_vg/root
meta-data=/dev/mapper/root_vg-root isize=256 agcount=4, agsize=327680 blks

What is Amazon AMI?
An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a special type of pre-configured operating system and virtual application software which is used to create a virtual machine within the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It serves as the basic unit of deployment for services delivered using EC2.
See https://aws.amazon.com/amis for more details about it.
Login to AWS console of account from which you want to move the instance, navigate to “Instances” pane. Right click on the instance to be moved and choose “Create Image (EBS AMI)”. Once done, you will receive a status message saying that request received and being processed to create image.
  
Enter the account id of the AWS account to which you want to expose this AMI. To find the account id; See “My Account / console > Security Credentials”.
Now switch to the another account’s AWS console. Navigate to “Instances” pane. Click the “Launch Instance” button, follow “Classic wizard”, in the “Community AMIs” tab, search by entering the AMI id. A sample id will look like “ami-abcd1234”.
Tip: If for some reason you couldn’t get the AMI listed in search result, try repeating the steps again or change the AMI permission to Public at the worst case.
Once the AMI is listed, you could follow on from here with the usual steps of Launching instance. In a few minutes you will have your server up and running.
In my case the instance i had to move had a Web server running Drupal site powered by Ubuntu.
As a follow up of this process, I had to open up the http, ssh and other needed ports. Also had to create an Elastic IP and bind the same to newly Launched instance.
Finally from domain registrar admin panel I had to change the DNS settings to use the new Elastic IP.
With this approach in a less than a couple of hours I was able to get my server switched form one account to another and start running as expected with least down time.

Warning
These examples are meant for sysadmins who have done this before (and sysadmins are forced to support Windows XP with IE < 9, therefore des3cbc), as an easily copy-pastable example, not for newbies who have no idea what all this means. The settings are very secure, but if you don't know what you are doing might make your website and subdomains unavailable for a long, long time (see HSTS). Research what you are doing and think before you act. Hier niet poepen zegmaar.
