Hi Jai Nahata ji,
Let me try to reply to this.I wont be explicit as needs time to write

Yes, i will quite a bit agree drinking etc will come looked from 2nd house.
Our derivation shud have 2nd house as a strong point of consideration.
Other consideration may jump in to proove its further confirmation but
2nd house shud be conssidered.

But now question arrives that wat u wanna to understand ..there cn be ppl who
do very occasional drinking / smoking so m nt sure cn be found out from chart easily.
Though addicts cn be found out, may be teetotaler can also be found.. but
i doubt about occassional ones..

Regards,
Raman

Hello Raman ji,
Thanks for your reply.

Sir, I always believe that a chart has all the answers no matter how small it is.
In case in hand I will request you to go through Rasi chart and Bhava chart and find the minute difference between two and you will be amazed by accuracy of Vedic Astrology, only we don't know how to use the tools we have. Something which I want to bring forward.

Just my 2 cents Sir.............


Best regards

Hi JaiNahata ji,

True jai ji.. Everything can be found from chart and i surely believe in it and  thats y i said ...

And m getting amazed at this for long now..

But question is how and moreover we can easily end up JUST explaining things instead applying them  simply coz there r so many rules and principles in astrology that we can start from D-1  then to bhaav chalit then to vargas, starting from D-1 to D-60 and m sure we would be able to satisfctorily get answer using them .... But point is how to aply it.

Also my question is what are u actually looking for addiction or just consumption even occassional......coz both will be different..

Again be it watever ..answer will move around few pointers..like 2nd house ,rahu, saturn may be, D-6 and so on.. but D-6 is more of a health trouble so addiction will be more suitable to look from here.
Hope i was helpful

Regards,
Raman

Dear Raman ji,

You are absolutely right that there are so many principles and rules that anybody can get confused and make mistakes but then that's with every major scientific field. We know which ingredients to choose to make tea out of thousands I am out to find correct ingredients for every recipe of life and astrological analysis.

Regarding question in hand, yes, significators will be 2nd house, 2nd lord, Venus (natural ruler and significator), afflicted Mars(my experince says Saturn's affliction is needed here). We can also study Moon cause it shows mind and tiltilation and behaviour pattern. If Moon is under heavy benefic influence of Jupiter then all these afflictions will get nullified and will result in something else.

D-6 should be considered but next to Rasi/Bhava chart as primary indications has to be there. 2nd house in D-6 and D-9 should be taken into account.

Raman ji, occassional, moderate, heavy or addiction are nothing but various degrees of afflictions of the same factor/s.

I request you to give detailed opinion on the chart which I have posted.

Kindly correct me with reasons, if wrong anywhere.

Thanks.......


Best regards
