Rashi: The Heart & Spine of Vedic Astrology for Prediction & Advice

We should understand one thing very clearly in Vedic astrology that rishis are very important.

It is heart and spine of Vedic astrology. Why I'm saying spine of Vedic astrology?

Because you see spine is the base. In Vedic astrology, rishis are also the base. Without rishis, you cannot know

whether a planet is good or not because good, bad condition of the planet is dependent on exaltation, debilitation,

etc. which is again rishi dependent. It is spine of astrology because, you know, we analyze houses, right? House

analysis is basic in astrology and you analyze houses with respect to house lord.

Now, planets don't own houses, right? Houses have rishi. Rishis owned by planets. So, this is why it is spine.

And why it is heart of Vedic astrology? Because once you make the prediction, say seventh lord goes into a particular

house, a seventh lord goes into 11th house. So, you know that seventh house is

marriage, 11th house is gain. So, one will gain from marriage. But what type of gain it will be? That gain is again

dependent on rishi. So, it is heart of Vedic astrology also. So, it is very, very important to learn about rishis

before you make the prediction because rishis give colors to the prediction. Rishi gives a

specialty to the prediction. Because only with seventh lord in the 11th house, you can say that you will

gain something from spouse. To make the prediction precise, what you will gain from the spouse, you will have to use

rishi. Now, rishis have a lot of things into it. At least 50 significations rishi

have. And each and every signification have multiple, multiple, multiple uses.

So, let's talk one such signification that is of the division of rishi into movable, fixed,

and dual rishis. And few of the uses of it. Which I think will be very helpful.

Now, the point is that you see movable rishis, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are movable

signs. Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius are fixed signs.

And Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius are dual signs.

Now, you have to understand something. If someone have maximum planets in a particular type of sign, one have a

particular type of nature. That is to be understood. So, if someone have maximum planets in

movable signs, generally this person is kind of jealous. The person is also fond of traveling,

lives in foreign lands or a distant place. This is the thing if one have either maximum planets in movable signs

or the most prominent planets in movable signs. Now, you have to see, you have to understand it.

If someone have three or more than three prominent planets and exaltation, mulatrikona, swarashi, vargottama

planets, retrograde planets are prominent planets. If someone have three or more than three

prominent planets in the horoscope, then you have to take the rashi, the type of rashi where maximum prominent planets

are situated in. And if someone don't have three or more than three prominent planets in the

horoscope, then you have to take maximum type of planet situated in a particular type of rashi.

If with respect to movable sign, I have also noticed that if the ascendant,

ascendant lord, moon, moon sign lord, four factors you had, add it to navamsha ascendant. So, five factors. Out of

these five factors, if maximum factors are in movable sign, because movable sign indicates mobility, being out of

your home and things like that. If a person born If a person having prominent movable sign, that is movable

sign in these five prominent factors, does not leave his birthplace or say continues living in his birthplace,

do not go shift to a place which is more than 500 km away from his birthplace or does

not shift to a place which have different culture and type of people as compared to his birthplace, then such

person finds it very difficult to succeed. Success becomes difficult. There are

multiple obstructions and obstacles in their life. Why? Because movable signs want you to move out.

In this way, signs are also synchronization. Generally, people talk about remedies and people think, you

know, ask that whether remedies work or not. See, astrology is a science of synchronization. What

we learned in the basics of astrology is that astrology is like knowing the flow of

the wind so that you can sail in the direction of the wind to make your sail effortless.

This is what astrology is. Which tells us that

astrology is an assistant science, but it will assist you only when you follow it properly. Like you learn about

medicine to get rid of disease. That's why we learn about disease in the

medicinal sciences. In the same manner, in astrology, we learn about luck to improve the luck. And the improvement of

luck comes best with the synchronization that we discuss about. Now, talking of movable signs, right? If

maximum planets are situated in movable sign or the most prominent planets are situated in movable sign,

then the native is generally respected by people, Is wealthy and is capable of doing very

great things in life. Movable sign. And if maximum planets or the most

powerful planets are situated in dual signs, then native can suffer from disease.

But the native is steady in whatever they do. They are not fickle-minded as such and

the native is clever, also. So, basically, the specialty of the dual sign is

intellect. Right? And consistence. The specialty of

fixed signs are the person being highly capable and the person being wealthy.

And the specialty of movable sign is adaptation to change, right? One can

adapt to any situation in any circumstances very easily and very quickly.

These are the specialties, right? So, first of all, based on the type of rashi where maximum planets

or the most prominent planets are situated in, what is the specialty of the native?

What is the specialty of the individual? That is to be understood. That is one uses.

Now, there is one more thing. Say, you want to

analyze a particular house. Say, you want to analyze 10th house. Now, if 10th lord is going into movable

sign, because we talked about this fact that rashi or astrology at whole is more about

synchronization, right? So, if the 10th lord goes into movable sign, your biggest advantage is your adaptability.

You can adapt to any situation. The moment you will lose this flexibility, you will find that in your profession,

progress is becoming difficult. With respect to fixed sign, the specialty is capability.

One should take all the responsibilities. Like, not every responsibility, but all

the responsibilities that he should take they should take and should find ways to fulfill it,

right? This is the way to go. And in dual signs, the specialty is steadiness, right? The person have to

work steadily towards what whatever is, you know, his his task, whatever is given to him,

whatever is assigned to him. These are your advantages or these are I will say your strengths.

So, another thing with respect to rashis that whenever you analyze a house, you have to find out that what is

rashi based strength of the house. And only when you exercise the strength which is given by the rashi, you will

actually excel in things related to that house. This is what this is

advisory part of astrology. You see, astrology is not only prediction. Prediction is like your marriage will be

bad, your professional life will be problematic. This gives clarity,

but does not help people as such. The basic thing in astrology is that it is a advisory science, right?

Advice based science. Which tells you, right, that your marriage will be problematic because of

so and so reason. And if you remove so and so reason, or if you adapt in this particular way,

then the shortcoming, then the problem, whatever the problem is, can be removed. And to do that, rashis are very

important, right? Because rashis, just using this one signification as we have understood that rashis give you the

quality that you should adopt. And adoption of the quality leads to great result.

In fact, let me tell you one more technique related to it. For example, say

Venus or the seventh lord is situated in movable sign. Then in that scenario, you know that

your many people will be envious of your spouse, or your marital life will be so good that people will envy

your marital life. Whereas if the seventh lord or Venus is going into fixed sign,

then you understand that your spouse will be very respectable. Right? There will be a lot of respect in

the marital life. On the other hand, if the seventh lord goes into dual sign, then you know that

the spouse will be very clever. So, based on the based on this, because rashis also have a prominent

trait, while making the prediction, the prominent traits should be used very judiciously

to make good predictions also. This judicious uses of rashi traits

is what helps you predict the most important trait related to a particular life area,

which is very, very useful in prediction, right? Whether your marital life is so good that people

are jealous of it, right? Or your marital life is or your wife is very clever, so that you

can understand it and take their advice for your betterment, or whether you say that your life partner is very much

respected, so that you can, you know, use their social status to do your good also. This understanding

comes with understanding the rashi. Now, I have taken one factor related to rashi

that is movable, fixed, and dual nature of the rashi. And based on that, I have taught you three principles.

And three techniques which can used in predictive astrology, in horoscope reading. The same things can be used in

prashna also. The same things can be used in muhurta also. As I told you in the beginning, like this was one

one factor of movable, fixed, and dual signs, there are at least 50 such factors.

And out of these 50 such factors, take the simple factor only of movable, fixed, and dual signs, there are

some eight uses of this thing. Three of that I have told you. But other uses are also there that I'm

not discussing keeping in mind the length of the video. And also because whatever I teach on YouTube, I generally

don't teach it in my courses. And as we discussed in the beginning of the video, that rashis and the knowledge

related to rashis is very important in Vedic astrology because rashis is the first thing

in Vedic astrology. Whenever you have to understand Vedic astrology, whenever you have to study Vedic astrology, rashi is

the first thing that you should study. Rashi is the first thing that is recommended to be studied.

Keeping this in mind, long ago, I think in 2021,

finding the lack of any dedicated course on rashis in the world of Vedic astrology, I did the course mastering

the rashi. Now this year in 2026, from 26th of September 2026, I'm going to do the

fourth batch of the course mastering the rashi, which will cover, which is first of all

the most extensive course on rashis ever. There was no such course at that point

of time. Still, there is no such course as extensive as this one. I'm going to teach the fourth batch of

the course, which will cover almost all of the significations and

attributes related to the rashis and its uses in prashna muhurta and the natal chart.

This is the course which I consider very important and very essential for learners of Vedic astrology who want to

learn Vedic astrology very in-depth. Topic by topic, step by step, in most in-depth manner possible, this is the

course to opt for. So, if you're interested, do join.
