Namaskaar All,
When a chart is presented to us as a Jyotish for guidance and sometimes it is a pitiful cry for help. What is the first thing that we should do?

Our advise would be to see the Horoscope with an eagles eye. The big Picture as well as the details. The Truth will always be some where in between these two.

This is going to be a short lesson on how to see the big picture.

Fro now keep thinking.

RishiRahul and vivek.

Namaskaar Jyotishas,
When looking at a chart at the first glance we should be able to see the pattern of placements of grahas.
Are the Grahas spread out or is it clustered in groups.
If the grahas are spread out then most probably there is a Graha maalikaa yoga in the Chart. This is a very important Yoga.
Graha Maalikaa means -a garland of Grahas.
Usually when you see five or more consecutive raashis occupied by Grahas then it is a Graha maalikaa yoga.
Some people also take four consecutive raashis occupied if the nodes are not involved.
Here the initiating and the leading grahas as well as the two bhaavas are given importance.

So watch out for them in Horoscopes as they are fairly common.

Rishirahul and vivek.

Namaskaar All,
See the attached horoscope and the Graha Maalikaa Yoga therein.
Comments on the same are invited.

RishiRahul and vivek.

In the given Example, the Maalikaa yoga starts from the tenth and ends in the 5th. The initiating Graha is Chandra and the ending Graha is Ketu. Ketu is the leading Graha in this chart.
We can say that this Graha Maalikaa will be beneficial as the houses involved are Good (10th and fifth bhaavas) but still it (good effects) is locked till the natural year of Ketu.
This one yoga will overshadow many other yogas present in the chart.

RishiRahul and vivek.

Dear vivek ji and rahul ji ,

1.suppose the last graha had a parivartana with initiating graha, will they replace ?
2. here we see a shrapa on ketu by rahu and sani. will it modify the end result ?
3.will the nature of the ending graha influence the final result or only the bhava?
4.why 2 modes are in operation while considering graha malika yog  ie; one including nodes and other excluding it ?
