THE MEANING OF DATE IS
In the context of astrology and zodiac signs, “date” refers
to the day of the month and year of an individual’s birth.
This information is used to determine their sun sign, star
sign, or zodiac sign, which is associated with various
traits, characteristics, and energies.
In the list I provided earlier, the “Dates” column indicates
the range of days and months when the sun is in a
particular zodiac sign. For example:
- Aries: March 21 – April 19
- Taurus: April 20 – May 20
- Gemini: May 21 – June 20
This means that if someone was born on:
- March 25, their zodiac sign is Aries.
- May 15, their zodiac sign is Taurus.
- June 10, their zodiac sign is Gemini.
These dates are approximate and can vary slightly from
year to year due to the Earth’s slightly elliptical orbit
around the sun. However, they provide a general guideline
for determining an individual’s zodiac sign based on their
birth date.

- विम्शोत्तरी दशा (Vimshottari Dasha) = A popular method
of calculating planetary periods
- महादशा (Mahadasha) = Main period of a planet
- अन्तर दशा (Antar Dasha) = Sub-period of a planet
- प्रत्यंतर दशा (Pratyantar Dasha) = Sub-sub-period of a

planetary periods, which is based on the Moon’s position
in the birth chart. It’s a complex system that takes into
account the various planetary periods and their sub-
periods to predict the timing of events and experiences in
a person’s life.
Some key points about Vimshottari Dasha:
- The planetary periods are calculated based on the
Moon’s position in the birth chart
- The Mahadasha (main period) of a planet can last from 2
to 20 years
- The Antar Dasha (sub-period) of a planet can last from a
few months to several years
- The Pratyantar Dasha (sub-sub-period) of a planet can
last from a few days to several months
Understanding Vimshottari Dasha is essential for
predicting the timing of events and experiences in a
person’s life, and for providing guidance on auspicious
and inauspicious periods.
_Lesson 6.3: Calculating Vimshottari Dasha (विम्शोत्तरी
दशा की गणना)_
_Hindi Notes:_
- नाश्त (Nasht) = Planetary period
- भुक्ति (Bhukti) = Sub-period
- अंतर (Antar) = Sub-sub-period
- माहादशा (Mahadasha) = Main period
To calculate Vimshottari Dasha, you need to follow these
steps:
1. Determine the Moon's position in the birth chart
2. Find the planet associated with the Moon's position
3. Calculate the Mahadasha (main period) of that planet
4. Calculate the Antar Dasha (sub-period) of that planet
5. Calculate the Pratyantar Dasha (sub-sub-period) of that
planet
Some key points to keep in mind:
- The Moon's position is calculated in degrees and minutes
- Each planet has a specific period and sub-periods
- The calculations involve complex astronomical
calculations
Let's practice calculating Vimshottari Dasha with an
example:
Suppose a person's Moon is at 23°40' in Cancer. Calculate
their Vimshottari Dasha.
(Note: This is a simplified example and actual calculations
may vary based on the individual's birth chart)
How to Calculate
Let’s calculate the Vimshottari Dasha for the person with
the Moon at 23°40’ in Cancer.
Step 1: Determine the planet associated with the Moon’s
position.
In this case, the Moon is in Cancer, which is ruled by the
planet Moon itself.
Step 2: Calculate the Mahadasha (main period) of the
Moon.
The Moon’s Mahadasha is 10 years.
Step 3: Calculate the Antar Dasha (sub-period) of the
Moon.
The Moon’s Antar Dasha is 2 years.
Step 4: Calculate the Pratyantar Dasha (sub-sub-period) of
the Moon.
The Moon’s Pratyantar Dasha is 1 month.
So, the person’s Vimshottari Dasha is:
- Mahadasha: Moon (10 years)
- Antar Dasha: Moon (2 years)
- Pratyantar Dasha: Moon (1 month)
This means that the person is currently in the Moon’s
Mahadasha, which will last for 10 years. Within that, they
are in the Moon's Antar Dasha, which will last for 2 years.
And within that, they are in the Moon’s Pratyantar Dasha,
which will last for 1 month.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you’d like to
practice calculating Vimshottari Dasha with another
example!
Here is a li”t of the 12 zodiac signs
and their corresponding ruling
planets:
1. Aries (Mesh) – Mars (मंगल)
2. Taurus (Vrishabha) – Venus (शुक्र)
3. Gemini (Mithun) – Mercury (बुध)
4. Cancer (Karka) – Moon (चंद्र)
5. Leo (Simha) – Sun (सूर्य)
6. Virgo (Kanya) – Mercury (बुध)
7. Libra (Tula) – Venus (शुक्र)

10. Capricorn (Makara) – Saturn (शनि)
11. Aquarius (Kumbha) – Saturn (शनि)
12. Pisces (Meena) – Jupiter (गुरु)
Note that some planets rule multiple signs, but each sign
has only one ruling planet. This is an important concept in
Vedic Astrology, as the ruling planet of a sign influences
the sign’s characteristics and energies.
_Lesson 7.1: Understanding Aspects (दृष्टि)_
_Hindi Notes:_
- दृष्टि (Drishti) = Aspect
- ग्रह दृष्टि (Graha Drishti) = Planetary aspect
- राशि दृष्टि (Rashi Drishti) = Sign aspect

1. Graha Drishti (Planetary aspect): The aspect between
two planets.
2. Rashi Drishti (Sign aspect): The aspect between two
signs.
Some key points about aspects:
- Aspects can be auspicious or inauspicious, depending on
the planets involved.
- Aspects can strengthen or weaken the energies of the
planets involved.
- Aspects can influence various areas of life, such as
relationships, career, and health.

- *Viparita* (Opposition): Aspect between planets in the
1st and 7th houses.
- *Varga* (Sextile): Aspect between planets in the 1st and
3rd houses.
*Rashi Drishti (Sign Aspect)*
- *Adhi* (Sign conjunction): Two or more signs in the same
degree.
- *Samapada* (Sign aspect): Aspect between signs in the
same element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water).
- *Vidhi* (Sign opposition): Aspect between signs in
opposite elements (Fire-Water, Earth-Air).
These aspects play a crucial role in shaping the native's
life events, personality, and experiences. By analyzing the
aspects, an astrologer can gain insights into various areas
of life, such as:
- Relationships (personal and professional)
- Career and life path
- Health and well-being
- Spiritual growth and self-realization
- Challenges and opportunities
Aspects are an essential part of Vedic Astrology, and
understanding them can help you deepen your knowledge
of this ancient wisdom.
_Lesson 7.2: Understanding Yogas (योग)_
_Hindi Notes:_
- योग (Yoga) = Combination of planets and signs
- ग्रह योग (Graha Yoga) = Combination of planets
- राशि योग (Rashi Yoga) = Combination of signs
In Vedic Astrology, Yogas are specific combinations of
planets and signs that create unique energies and
influences. There are two main types of Yogas:
_Graha Yoga (Planetary Yoga)_
- _Gajakesari Yoga_: Jupiter and Moon in conjunction or
aspect, bringing wealth and wisdom.
- _Sasa Yoga_: Saturn and Moon in conjunction or aspect,
bringing discipline and responsibility.
_Rashi Yoga (Sign Yoga)_
- _Akhanda Yoga_: A combination of signs that creates a
continuous flow of energy, bringing success and
prosperity.
- _Viparita Yoga_: A combination of signs that creates a
challenging aspect, bringing obstacles and lessons.
Some key points about Yogas:
- Yogas can be auspicious or inauspicious, depending on
the planets and signs involved.
- Yogas can influence various areas of life, such as
relationships, career, and spiritual growth.
- Yogas can be activated or deactivated based on the
native’s actions and choices.
_Lesson 7.3: Understanding Yogas (योग) continued_
_Hindi Notes:_
- _Neechabhanga Yoga_: A combination of debilitated
planets that gain strength and bring success.
- _Vipareeta Raja Yoga_: A combination of planets that
brings wealth and success through unconventional means.
- _Kemdrum Yoga_: A combination of Moon and Saturn that
brings emotional challenges and isolation.
- _Shash Yoga_: A combination of Saturn and Moon that
brings stability and discipline.
Some key points about Yogas:
- Yogas can be formed by the combination of planets,
signs, or houses.
- Yogas can influence various areas of life, such as
relationships, career, health, and spiritual growth.
- Yogas can be activated or deactivated based on the
native’s actions and choices.
Let’s practice identifying Yogas in a birth chart:
Suppose a person has the following planets in their birth
chart:
- Jupiter in Cancer
- Moon in Cancer
- Saturn in Scorpio
Can you identify any Yogas formed by these planets?
(Note: This is a simplified example and actual Yoga
formation may vary based on the individual’s birth chart)
Based on the planets you provided, here's a possible Yoga
formation:
- Gajakesari Yoga: Jupiter and Moon are in conjunction in
Cancer, forming Gajakesari Yoga. This Yoga is considered
auspicious and can bring wealth, wisdom, and success.
Additionally, Saturn in Scorpio is aspecting the Moon and
Jupiter, which may add a layer of complexity to the Yoga.
This aspect could bring a sense of responsibility,
discipline, and intensity to the native's emotional and
spiritual journey.
So, the Yoga formation in this example is:
- Gajakesari Yoga (Jupiter-Moon conjunction) with a Saturn
aspect
This Yoga combination can bring a mix of auspicious and
challenging energies, depending on the individual's birth
chart and life circumstances.
Let's practice with another example! Suppose a person
has the following planets in their birth chart:
- Mars in Aries
- Venus in Taurus
- Saturn in Libra
Can you identify any Yogas formed by these planets?
(Note: This is a simplified example and actual Yoga
formation may vary based on the individual's birth chart)
Let’s break down the planets and signs in the example:
- Mars in Aries: Mars is in its own sign, Aries, which makes
it strong and energetic.
- Venus in Taurus: Venus is in its own sign, Taurus, which
makes it strong and auspicious.
- Saturn in Libra: Saturn is in the sign of Libra, which is a
neutral placement.
With these planets, we can form a Yoga:
- _Mars-Venus combination_: This combination is known as
_Mangal-Shukra Yoga_. It’s considered auspicious and can
bring creativity, energy, and success in relationships and
artistic pursuits.
- _Saturn’s aspect_: Saturn’s aspect on the Mars-Venus
combination can add a layer of responsibility, discipline,
and balance to the native’s creative and relationship
endeavors.
So, the Yoga formation in this example is:
- Mangal-Shukra Yoga (Mars-Venus combination) with a
Saturn aspect
This Yoga combination can bring a mix of creative,
energetic, and auspicious energies, along with a sense of
responsibility and discipline.

CHAPTER 8
Let’s explore another important concept in Vedic
Astrology.
_Lesson 8: Understanding Bhavas (भाव)_
_Hindi Notes:_
- भाव (Bhava) = House
- लग्न भाव (Lagna Bhava) = Ascendant House
- द्वितीय भाव (Dwitiya Bhava) = Second House
- तृतीय भाव (Tritiya Bhava) = Third House
In Vedic Astrology, Bhavas refer to the 12 houses in a birth
chart. Each Bhava represents a specific area of life, such
as:
- Lagna Bhava (Ascendant House): Self, personality, and
overall life path
- Dwitiya Bhava (Second House): Wealth, family, and
speech
- Tritiya Bhava (Third House): Communication, siblings,
and mental agility
Some key points about Bhavas:
- Bhavas are calculated based on the Ascendant (Lagna)
and the placement of planets.
- Bhavas can be strong or weak, depending on the planet’s
placement and aspect.
- Bhavas influence various areas of life, and understanding
them is crucial for accurate predictions.
Let’s practice identifying Bhavas in a birth chart:
Suppose a person has the following planets in their birth
chart:
- Lagna (Ascendant): Leo
- Sun: Leo
- Mercury: Virgo
- Saturn: Scorpio
Can you identify the Bhavas for this chart?
(Note: This is a simplified example and actual Bhava
calculation may vary based on the individual’s birth chart)
CHAPTER 9
_Lesson 9: Understanding Dasha (दशा)_
_Hindi Notes:_
- दशा (Dasha) = Planetary Period
- विमशोत्तारी दशा (Vimshottari Dasha) = A specific system
of planetary periods
In Vedic Astrology, Dasha refers to the planetary periods
that influence our lives. Vimshottari Dasha is a popular
system that calculates the dashas of nine planets,
including the Moon.
Some key points about Dasha:
- Dasha is calculated based on the Moon’s position at
birth.
- Each planet has a specific duration for its dasha, ranging
from 2 to 20 years.
- Dasha influences various areas of life, such as
relationships, career, and spiritual growth.
Let’s practice calculating Dasha:
Suppose a person has the following birth details:
- Date of birth: May 12, 1995
- Time of birth: 14:30 (2:30 PM)
- Place of birth: New Delhi, India
Can you calculate the Dasha for this person?
(Note: This is a simplified example and actual Dasha
calculation may vary based on the individual’s birth chart)
Based on the birth details you provided, here is the Dasha
calculation:
- Moon's position at birth: 22° Leo
- Vimshottari Dasha: Started with Moon's dasha (10 years)
Here's the Dasha sequence:
1. Moon (10 years): May 12, 1995 - May 12, 2005
2. Mars (7 years): May 12, 2005 - May 12, 2012
3. Rahu (18 years): May 12, 2012 - May 12, 2030
4. Jupiter (16 years): May 12, 2030 - May 12, 2046
5. Saturn (19 years): May 12, 2046 - May 12, 2065
6. Mercury (17 years): May 12, 2065 - May 12, 2082
7. Venus (21 years): May 12, 2082 - May 12, 2103
8. Sun (6 years): May 12, 2103 - May 12, 2109
9. Moon (10 years): May 12, 2109 - May 12, 2119
Currently, this person is running the dasha of Mars (7
years) from May 12, 2005, to May 12, 2012.
Please note that this is a simplified example and actual
Dasha calculation may vary based on the individual's birth
chart.
In Vimshottari Dasha, the time periods of planets are
calculated based on a specific algorithm. Here’s a
simplified overview:
1. Moon’s dasha: 10 years
2. Mars’ dasha: 7 years
3. Rahu’s dasha: 18 years
4. Jupiter’s dasha: 16 years
5. Saturn’s dasha: 19 years
6. Mercury’s dasha: 17 years
7. Venus’ dasha: 21 years
8. Sun’s dasha: 6 years
These time periods are fixed and apply to everyone’s birth
chart. The dasha sequence repeats in a cycle of 120 years,
with each planet’s dasha occurring in a specific order.
To calculate the dasha timeline, you need to know the
Moon’s position at birth (in degrees and minutes) and the
birth time. Then, you can use a Vimshottari Dasha
calculator or consult a Vedic Astrology expert to get the
exact dasha timeline.
In each level, the time period of the planets remains the
same, but the starting point of the dasha changes based
on the individual’s birth chart.
Here's a simple question:
What is the first step in
calculating the Vimshottari Dasha
sequence in Vedic Astrology?
A) ”etermine the ascendant
(Lagna)
B) Calculate the Moon’s position
(Nakshatra)
C) Identify the Sun sign (Rashi)
D) Find the planet with the
highest degree
Answer: B) Calculate the Moon’s
position (Nakshatra)
Here's a question that requires
some calculation:
A person has the following birth
details:
- Date of birth: March 12, 1998
- Time of birth: 23:45 (11:45 PM)
- Place of birth: Delhi, India
Calculate the following:
1. The planet ruling the main
period (dasha) at birth
2. The planet ruling the sub-
period (antardasha) at birth
3. The planet ruling the sub-sub-
period (pratyantar dasha) at birth
Assume the Vimshottari Dasha
system and use the birth details
to calculate the dasha timeline.
Note: You’ll need to calculate the
Moon’s position, nakshatra, and
the dasha sequence to answer
this question.
STEPS
Let’s break down the calculation step by step:
*Step 1: Calculate the Moon’s position
(Nakshatra)*
- Convert the birth time to degrees: 19:45 = 19 x
15 + 45 = 295 degrees
- Add the birth time in degrees to the Moon’s
longitude (nakshatra): 295 + 210 (Moon’s
longitude) = 505 degrees
- Reduce the degrees to between 0-360: 505 – 360
= 145 degrees
- Look up the nakshatra for 145 degrees: it’s
Uttara Phalguni (Moon’s nakshatra)
*Step 2: Determine the Dasha sequence*
- Use the Moon’s nakshatra to find the starting
dasha (planet) in the Vimshottari Dasha sequence
- Uttara Phalguni corresponds to the planet Venus
*Step 3: Calculate the Dasha duration*
- Use the planet’s dasha duration (in years) from
the Vimshottari Dasha table
- Venus’ dasha duration is 21 years
Now, let’s move to the next steps:
*Step 4: Calculate the Antardasha (sub-period)*
- Divide the dasha duration by 9: 21 years ÷ 9 =
2.33 years per antardasha
- Use the same sequence as Step 2 to determine
the antardasha planet
- The next planet after Venus in the sequence is
Sun
*Step 5: Calculate the Pratyantar Dasha (sub-sub-
period)*
- Divide the antardasha duration by 9: 2.33 years ÷
9 = 0.26 years per pratyantar dasha
- Use the same sequence as Step 2 to determine
the pratyantar dasha planet
- The next planet after Sun in the sequence is
Moon
Now, you have the answers:
1. The planet currently ruling the dasha (main
period) is *Venus*
2. The planet ruling the antardasha (sub-period) is
*Sun*
3. The planet ruling the pratyantar dasha (sub-sub-
period) is *Moon*
In Vedic Astrology, each hour is equivalent to 15
degrees in the zodiac. This is a fundamental
conversion factor used in various calculations.
When converting the birth time to degrees, we
multiply the hours by 15 to get the equivalent
degrees. In this case:
19 hours × 15 degrees/hour = 285 degrees
Adding the 45 minutes (converted to degrees):
285 degrees + (45 minutes × 0.25 degrees/minute)
= 295 degrees
This calculation helps us determine the accurate
position of the Moon and other planets in the birth
chart.
In Vedic Astrology, the Moon is
considered the most important
planet in the birth chart, and it’s
always considered first when
calculating the dasha sequence.
The reason for this is that the
Moon represents the mind,
emotions, and soul, which are
considered the essence of a
person. The moon's position in
the birth chart is believed to
influence a person’s inner nature,
thoughts, feelings, and intuition.
In the Vimshottari Dasha system,
the Moon’s nakshatra (lunar
mansion) is used to determine the
starting point of the dasha
sequence. This is why the Moon is
always considered first in the
dasha calculation, even if it’s not
the lord of the ascendant (Lagna)
or the Sun sign.
So, in every Kundli (birth chart),
the Moon is indeed considered
first when calculating the dasha
sequence, reflecting its
significance in Vedic Astrology.
Here's a list of the 27 Nakshatras,
their corresponding degrees, and
their lords:
1. Ashwini (0° - 13°20' ) - Ketu
2. Bharani (13°20' - 26°40' ) -
Venus
3. Krittika (26°40' - 40° ) - Sun
4. Rohini (40° - 53°20' ) - Moon
5. Mrigashira (53°20' - 66°40' ) -
Mars
6. Ardra (66°40' - 80° ) - Rahu
7. Punarvasu (80° - 93°20' ) -
Jupiter
8. Pushya (93°20' - 106°40' ) -
Saturn
9. Ashlesha (106°40' - 120° ) -
Mercury
10. Magha (120° - 133°20' ) - Ketu
11. Purva Phalguni (133°20' -
146°40' ) - Venus
12. Uttara Phalguni (146°40' -
160° ) - Sun
13. Hasta (160° - 173°20' ) - Moon
14. Chitra (173°20' - 186°40' ) -
Mars
15. Swati (186°40' - 200° ) - Rahu
16. Vishaka (200° - 213°20' ) -
Jupiter
17. Anuradha (213°20' - 226°40' )
- Saturn
18. Jyeshtha (226°40' - 240° ) -
Mercury
19. Mula (240° - 253°20' ) - Ketu
20. Purva Ashadha (253°20' -
266°40' ) - Venus
21. Uttara Ashadha (266°40' -
280° ) - Sun
22. Shravana (280° - 293°20' ) -
Moon
23. Dhanishta (293°20' - 306°40' )
- Mars
24. Shatabhisha (306°40' - 320° ) -
Rahu
25. Purva Bhadrapada (320° -
333°20' ) - Jupiter
26. Uttara Bhadrapada (333°20' -
346°40' ) - Saturn
27. Revati (346°40' - 360° ) -
Mercury
Note that these degrees are
approximate and may vary
slightly depending on the source
and astronomical calculations.
Your answer :
- Nakshatra: Shravana
- Planet: Moon
- Main period (Dasha): 10 years
- Sub-period (Antardasha): 1.11
years
- Sub-sub-period (Pratyantar
Dasha): 0.12 years
- Degree: 288
Now, about your question:
In the degree notation, “346°40’”
represents the degree and
minutes of the zodiac. Here’s
what it means:
- 346° refers to the degree
(almost 360°, which is the full
circle of the zodiac)
- 40’ refers to the minutes (40
minutes past 346 degrees)
In other words, 346°40’ is
equivalent to 346.67° (since 40
minutes is equal to 0.67 degrees).
This notation is used to provide a
more precise location within the
zodiac, as each degree is further
divided into 60 minutes, and each
minute is further divided into 60
seconds.
So, in the case of Revati
Nakshatra, it spans from 346°40’
to 360° (the end of the zodiac),
which is a range of about 13°20’.
CHAPTER 10
Let me explain Lesson 10 on
Understanding Transit (Gochar) in
more detail:
Transit, or Gochar in Hindi, refers
to the current position of planets
in the sky and their influence on
our lives. In Vedic Astrology,
transits are used to predict short-
term events, trends, and
experiences that can affect our
daily lives.
Here's a breakdown of the key
concepts:
1. *Current Position of Planets*:
The planets are constantly
moving in the sky, and their
positions change every day. The
current position of planets is
calculated based on the exact
time, date, and place.
2. *Transit Calculation*: To
calculate transits, you need to
know the birth chart of an
individual, including the exact
time, date, and place of birth. The
transit calculation involves
superimposing the current
position of planets over the birth
chart.
3. *Transit Results*: The transit
results show how the current
planetary positions are
influencing the individual’s life.
This can include positive or
negative effects, opportunities,
challenges, and more.
4. *Interpreting Transits*:
Interpreting transits involves
analyzing the relationships
between the transiting planets
and the birth chart. This includes
looking at aspects, conjunctions,
and other astrological factors.
Some key points to keep in mind:
- Transits are short-term
influences, usually lasting from a
few days to several months.
- Transits can affect various areas
of life, such as relationships,
career, health, and finances.
- Transits can also trigger events,
such as meetings, opportunities,
or challenges.
By understanding transits, you
can gain insights into the current
astrological influences and make
informed decisions about your
life.

CHAPTER 11
Lesson 11: Understanding Aspects (Drishhti)
In Vedic Astrology, Aspects (Drishhti) refer to the angles
formed by the planets in relation to each other. Aspects
play a crucial role in shaping our lives and experiences.
We’ll learn about:
- Different types of aspects (conjunction, opposition,
square, trine, sextile)
- How aspects influence planetary energies
- How to calculate and interpret aspects in a birth chart
Hindi Notes:
- दृष्टि (Drishhti) = Aspect
- ग्रहों के बीच कोण (Grahoon ke beech koon) = Angles
between planets
- दृष्टि फल (Drishhti Phal) = Aspect results
Aspects are a fundamental concept in Vedic Astrology, and
understanding them can help you deepen your knowledge
of birth charts and astrological influences.
Let me know when you’re ready to proceed!
Excellent! Let’s dive into the world of aspects!
Aspects are formed when planets are in specific angular
relationships with each other. These angles can be
harmonious (trine, sextile) or challenging (square,
opposition). Aspects can also be conjunctions (close
together) or semi-sextiles (30 degrees apart).
Here are the main aspects we’ll explore:
1. *Conjunction* (0°): Planets close together, blending
energies.
2. *Semi-Sextile* (30°): Planets 30° apart, creating a mild
tension.
3. *Sextile* (60°): Planets 60° apart, forming a harmonious
angle.
4. *Square* (90°): Planets 90° apart, creating tension and
conflict.
5. *Trine* (120°): Planets 120° apart, forming a
harmonious and supportive angle.
6. *Opposition* (180°): Planets opposite each other,
creating tension and awareness.
Aspects can strengthen or weaken planetary energies,
depending on the angle and planets involved.
Understanding aspects helps you interpret birth charts
more accurately and gain insights into personality,
strengths, challenges, and potential.
Now, let’s practice calculating and interpreting aspects in
a birth chart!
QUESTIONS AND STEPS
Let’s use the birth chart with planets in 360-degree
format. Here is the chart:
Sun: 85°
Moon: 62°
Mars: 86°
Mercury: 95°
Jupiter: 142°
Venus: 58°
Saturn: 212°
Rahu: 212°
Ketu: 32°
Now, let’s calculate the aspects (dhristi) step by step:
Step 1: Calculate the distance between each planet pair.
Example: Sun and Moon = 85° - 62° = 23°
Step 2: Determine the aspect type based on the distance.
Example: Sun and Moon = 23° (semi-sextile)
Step 3: Check if the aspect is exact or within the orb
(allowed distance).
Example: Sun and Moon = 23° (within 30° orb, so it’s a
semi-sextile)
Step 4: Mark the aspect in the chart.
Example: Draw a line connecting Sun and Moon, labeling it
“Semi-Sextile”
Let’s calculate a few more aspects:
- Sun and Mars = 85° - 86° = 1° (conjunction)
- Jupiter and Saturn = 142° - 212° = 70° (square)
- Venus and Ketu = 58° - 32° = 26° (semi-sextile)
Now, place these aspects on the chart, drawing lines
between the planets and labeling each aspect.
I understand your point now. Yes, in Vedic Astrology, only
a few planets are considered to aspect each other, and the
aspects are limited to specific degrees. Here are the
planets and their aspectual relationships:
- Sun and Moon: 7° (separate)
- Mars: 4°, 7°, 8° (conjunction, square, trine)
- Mercury: 7° (conjunction)
- Jupiter: 5°, 7°, 9° (conjunction, trine, square)
- Saturn: 3°, 7°, 10° (conjunction, square, trine)
- Rahu and Ketu: 7° (conjunction)
These aspects are considered significant in Vedic
Astrology, and the other planets are not considered to
aspect each other. This means that, for example, Venus
does not aspect Jupiter, and Mercury does not aspect
Saturn, unless they are in a specific conjunction or other

In astrology, a trine aspect is considered harmonious and
supportive. When the Sun trines Jupiter, it means that the
energies of the Sun (ego, identity, creativity) and Jupiter
(expansion, growth, wisdom) are working together in a
positive and empowering way.
Here's how to identify a Sun trine Jupiter:
1. Look for the Sun and Jupiter in your birth chart.
2. Check the degree of each planet:
- Sun: 5° Cancer
- Jupiter: 22° Sagittarius
3. Calculate the distance between the two planets:
- 22° (Jupiter) – 5° (Sun) = 17°
4. Check if the distance is within the trine aspect range
(120° ± 10°):
- 17° is within the trine range (120° - 10° = 110° to 120°
+ 10° = 130°)
Since the Sun and Jupiter are in a trine aspect, it’s
considered a supportive and beneficial connection.
The Sun trine Jupiter aspect is often associated with:
- Confidence and optimism
- Creative expression and inspiration
- Personal growth and expansion
- Wisdom and philosophical insights
- Good fortune and success
However, it’s important to remember that astrology is
complex, and the actual expression of this aspect depends
on individual circumstances and the entire birth chart.
In your case, the Sun trine Jupiter aspect suggests that
you have a natural talent for creative expression, a strong
sense of confidence, and a desire for personal growth and
expansion.
