You have now understood to fix up Bhava cusps*. The next thing is to
establish the Bhava chart. To do this you
must know the total span or spread of a Bhava. Call the middle point
between the cusps of the Bhavas in
question and of its preceding and succeeding Bhavas as A and B. Then
the spread of this Bhava is from A to B. A
is the starting point, the cusp its centre and B the terminating point of
that Bhava. Sometimes this span may be
located in one, two or three Rasis.
Illustrations:
(1) A Bhava ranging from 01° ofMithuna to 29° ofMithuna (case of1
Rasi).
(2) A Bhava starting at 20° ofVrishabha ending at 24° ofMithuna (case
of2 Rasis).
(3) A Bhava from 29° ofMesha to 01° ofMithuna (case of3 Rasis).
* Editor's note: Correct nomenclature 'Bhava Madhya' cusp denotes the
starting point of Bhava according to
western system.

Having thus fixed the commencing, middle and ending points of a
Bhava it is now easy to locate the Bhava
positions of planets. A planet located anywhere within the said span
falls in that Bhava.
Here you have to note the significance of cusp of a Bhava and its span.
The two are used for two different
purposes. When we want to find the lordships we have to consider
cuspal point. The Lord of the Rasi containing
this point is that Bhava Lord. The Bhavic
positions of planets are to be judged from
the span. To have clear perspective
prepare two charts as follows.
Degrees of planets and houses:
Lagna 02° 48' Sukr 20° 16'
Chandr 230 38' Shani 23° o6'
Man gal 160 59 ' Rahu 250 42 '
Budh 130 48' Ketu 250 42'
Guru 200 47'
Call the first as cuspal chart and the
second as Bhava chart. In both charts
retain Lagna in the same sign as in Rasi

chart. In cuspal chart place the cusps in the concerned signs.
Sometimes a Rasi may contain even three cusps
and some other time a Rasi may go without even one cusp. Thus a
planet may own even 3 or more Bhavas or not
own any Bhava. Next in Bhava chart place the planet in the Rasi as
distant from Lagna Rasi equal to the number
of the Bhava in which it is situated. In this chart reckon only the number
of Rasis from Lagna Rasi but forget
that they are Rasis.
For example, if a planet is found to be in fourth Bhava, place it in fourth
Rasi from Lagna Rasi. This gives a ready
view ofBhavic positions.
Next is to erect other correlative maps i.e. from general (Rasi chart) to
species (division charts) which will be
discussed in the Chapter on division charts.
Mere Rasi chart is not sufficient for prediction. The word "Rasi" in
Sanskrit means a 'heap'. A Rasi (Bhava) is a
heap of many connotations. All of them may not be simultaneously
good, bad or mixed. Some of them may go
bad, some good and some mixed. How to discern and differentiate
them is a knotty problem. By God's grace
have found a way out, so simple and sure that even a layman can grasp
easily. Please read the Chapter on
division charts. Mter Rasi chart the Bhava chart should also be erected.
Judgment from Rasi chart only of the
lordships of planets or their Bhavic positions merely counting from
Lagna Rasi will not always be correct. For
real perspective, cuspal and Bhava charts should be reckoned. In cases
where the Rasi and Bhava charts are
similar the astrologer may be successful even with Rasi prediction. Then
that astrologer must be really running
good time. When his bad period rules charts of differences come to him
only to pull down his name.
Sometimes a planet appearing to own a Bhava in Rasi chart may not
own it. Sometimes some other planet may
own that Bhava. One may own even three or more Bhavas or none.
Planet appearing to be in a Bhava as per Rasi
chart may not be actually there when the Bhava span is scrutinized. In
Gochara reading this is of much
significance. In Rasi a planet may appear to be transiting a Bhava at a
particular time while as per Bhava span he
may be in any of the abutting Bhavas -one less or one more. That makes
a lot of difference.
To make this more lucid, I cite the following chart I have handled. Birth
on 21.01.1931 at 01:19pm at Sialkot (!at
32° 29' N long 74° 35' E)- male child.

See the difference between Rasi chart and this chart; II Bhava falls in
Vrishabha instead of Mithuna as in Rasi
chart. III falls in Mithuna, IV in Kataka and likewise there are several
displacements. For example if you read
Budha as Lord of 2nd and 5th from Rasi chart it goes wrong as really he
becomes the Lord of 3rd and 6th Bhava
(see cuspal chart). Again I and II Bhavas fall in Vrishabha. No Bhavas
exist in Mesha and Thula. Thus you see a
lot of difference here. Predictions made with such Rasi charts are sure
to go wrong.
;9l_Bha..ya_spans i5l_
Those marked in small figures are the end points of Bhavas. For
example XII Bhava spreads from 9° of Meena to
15° of Mesha. In Rasi, Rahu appears to be in XI Bhava while in reality is
in XII Bhava. A planet in transit after 15°
of Mesha though appearing in Rasi chart in XII will be actually transiting
Lagna Bhava. These subtle differences
must be mastered.
19> Bhava chart 19>
At the mere glance you can say in what Bhavas Grahas are placed.
Beyond this do not touch up any other point
in this chart. For example you may read Guru being in III Bhava, but do
not say he is in Kataka and exalted. If
the variations are not noticed in time the astrologer will surely get
perplexed when he sees effects caused by
unconcerned planets who do not appear to have any jurisdiction in the
Rasi chart. Such disappointments are
likely to mislead us to resort to some other rule or even coin a new rule
or resort to a different system of Dasha.
That is how this science is actually butchered. Plenty of such novel
sayings may be seen in "Uttarakalamrita"
supposed to have been written by Kalidasa - evidently and definitely
not that famous Kavi Kalidas as may be
seen from the poetic composition and mostly miscellaneous matter of
various dictums being compiled. Also no
authority is forthcoming on the point ofKavi Kalidasa to have written
any book on astrology.

Finally I deal with Dash a calculation. As explained before I follow Udu
Dasha (Vimshottari of 120 years). The
following table gives the details.
Table n- Udu Dasha lordship & duration
Stars Dasha Dash a
Lord ears
Ashwini - Makha - Moola Ketu 7
Bharani - Pubba - P. Ashada Sukr 20
Krittika- Uttara- U. Ashada Surya 6
Rohini - Hasta - Sravana Chandr 10

Aridra - Swati - Shathabhisha Rahu 18
Punarvasu- Vishakha- P. Bhadra Guru 16
Pushyami- Anuradha- U. Bhadra Shani 19
Aslesha - Jyesta - Revathi Budh 17
Note:
The order of the Dashas are the same as tabled above. The balance of
Dasha at birth is got by "rule of three"
process in proportion to the balance of span of birth Nakshatra.
To calculate Bhukti, multiply the Dasha year by Bhukti Lord's years and
leave off the unit's digit in the product.
The rest of the figure represents months. Thrice the units digit
represents days. This is a shorter contrivance of
mathematical process of distributing the Dasha years to all the 9
planets in proportion to the Dasha years of the
respective Bhukti Lord. By continuance of this process you may work
out Anthara, Antharanthara, Sookshma,
Prima etc. to minutest parts. For our purposes stage upto Anthara is
enough. For example say Guru Dasha -
Shani Bhukti: Shani years are 19 and Guru years 16. Multiplying both
(16 x 19), we get 304- Leaving off the unit's
digit 4 the remaining figure is 30 months. Multiplying the unit's digit 4
by 3 we get 12 (days). So, Guru Dasha -
Shani Bhukti or Shani Dasha- Guru Bhukti is 2 years, 8 months, 12 days.
If unit's digit is zero, then the number
of days is nil.
To make the subject more clear, I illustrate by an example.
Birth on 01-02-1962 at 04 pm or Ghatis 23-23 at Madras. Sunrise is
o6:39am.
First work out from Panchanga (Shrowti's):
