For those who like to know, Richard Pascall was born on the 25th June 1962 at 4.18pm in Nottingham, UK. This means that he has a Cancer sun and Scorpio rising. Richard started to study astrology after a visit to Byron Bay, Australia in January 1995. Bryon Bay is a truly mystical place (although a little commercialised now), and it was there that he began this long journey. Richard is self-taught and has been practising professionally since 1996. His web site has been in existence for over ten years in one form or another, and during that time he has come into contact with people all around the world who share his love and interest of astrology.

Married recently, Richard lives in a small village in the middle of England. Along with his wife, he shares his house with two dogs, two cats, a very noisy mynah bird, fourguinea pigs and several tropical fish.

His interests (when he gets away from his computer) include cricket, which he plays regularly for Burton Latimer CC and rugby union (although he has retired from playing now). He has supported Notts County FC since he was eight years old and loves sport of all kinds. Apart from sport he reads a great deal and watches too much Star Trek for his own good. He takes a keen interest in the environment, travel and politics. He has travelled extensively, loves the US of A, but wants to move to Greece when he gets the chance.

Richard's instinctive knowledge and understanding of astrology, its interaction with life and its true spiritual nature have helped many people to understand themselves and their lives.

One of the most misunderstood and underrated aspects in astrology in the inconjunct. The inconjunct is a 150 degree aspect, and most astrologers give it a maximum of a three degree orb. The inconjunct is a hard aspect to deal with. The main reason for this is that there is no common ground between the two planets involved. With an aspect like a trine, both planets are in the same element. When there is a sextile, there are compatible elements involved. Even a hard aspect like the square, there are the modalities. With the inconjunct, there is no common ground whatsoever. The elements are incompatible, and the modalities do not match. Because of this, the keyword associated with the inconjunct is ?adjustment?. Some kind of adjustment needs to be made on the part of the individual in order to successfully work through the aspect. What follows are some examples of how inconjuncts can manifest themselves in some particular signs.

When one planet inconjuncts another in the natal chart, the house the planets are in, and the planets that the houses are in, and the houses the planets rule will describe the areas of life that will be affected by the aspect. The signs the planets are in will show those underlying influences behind the energies of the planets involved.

If a person has a natal planet in Aries, inconjunct a natal planet in Virgo, there could be a considerable amount of strain on the nervous system. This well may affect the individual?s health, and become the basis of ulcers and other gastronomic disorders. The native may exhibit a tendency to be too critical of others (especially by co-workers), and must learn to cultivate a more patient attitude towards them. Those who are close to the person may find them top be too rebellious and irritating. All activities of the native will probably need to be moderated before physical illness can develop.

When a planet in Aries is inconjunct a planet in Scorpio, the individual may be too aggressive and domineering for some people. They may be tactlessly bold in their speech, which is laden with sarcasm. These natives may need to learn to ?roll with the punches? or become the victims of physical and mental exhaustion.

If an individual has a planet in Taurus, inconjunct a planet in Libra there will be a strong desire for peace and harmony. This will be especially true in regards to the areas of life governed by the planets and houses in question. Both signs are ruled by the planet Venus and bestow an appreciation for all of the finer more pleasurable things in life. Overindulgence in meaningless social affairs must be watch for with this configuration. Major financial problems through a marriage or business partnership are also pitfalls to be wary of.

Should the native have a planet in Taurus, inconjunct a planet in Sagittarius, the person may be required to make adjustments between the personal and emotional satisfaction gained from material security, and the impersonal and abstract intellectualism of some advanced lifestyle. A pursuit of study through higher education could be hampered because of a lack of financial resources. In-laws, religious figures, or those of a different cultural background may influence romantic, as well as monetary endeavors.

When a planet in Gemini inconjuncts a planet in Scorpio, the person with this aspect can be crafty and cunning in action, and cynical in speech. The individual can be keenly perceptive, and has the ability to spot the weaknesses of others, and use it to their own advantage. There can be a gift of gaining information from enemies thru conversation, while telling none of their own secrets in the process.

If the native should have a planet in Gemini, inconjunct a planet in Capricorn, there can be a serious outlook that can border on chronic depression. There is also a tendency to get into a rut of everyday routine existence. This is very evident in regards to professional activities. Any kind of papers or documents relating to the individuals vocation should warrant special attention. The care of an elderly sibling could place a restrictive burden on the individual.

When a planet in Cancer, inconjuncts a planet in Sagittarius there can be a leaning toward overindulgence in food and drink on the part of the native. The Moon, ruler of Cancer, and Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius are both benefics so not all of the adjustments that have to be made with this aspect are as difficult to make as others may be. Legal affairs involving the home and property could at some time be the cause of concern. In-laws could be the root of emotional problems in the domestic sphere. The person with this inconjunct should always be careful of putting too much trust in people who may take advantage of them.

A planet in Cancer, inconjunct a planet in Aquarius, creates tension between the security and comfort of family life, and the desire for freedom and independence. The individual may not be able to share adventures with friends because of domestic commitments. The emotional nature of the native is colored by eccentric and erratic disposition of Aquarius. The person tends to act without adequate forethought, and can overreact emotionally. This can adversely affect the nervous system.

If an individual has a planet in Leo, inconjunct a planet in Capricorn, they may tax themselves with undo career responsibilities. This configuration can cause a person to take so much pride in their personal work that things can reach a point where they feel that no one has the ability to handle the job as well as themselves. Because there is a tendency to carry so much weight on their shoulders, bosses and superiors may take unfair advantage of them. A self-righteous attitude may make these people very hard for others to deal with. There could also be the possibility of a sad or restricted childhood where little love was demonstrated.

If a person should have a planet in Leo, inconjunct a planet in Pisces, they may well be the victim of deception and deceit in romantic ventures. The individual may have an inclination to over dramatize affairs of the heart, and seek out the exciting danger of clandestine interludes. Children can be the source of a hidden loss or sorrow. The native should be on guard for indulgences in alcohol, and habit forming drugs, that can have an adverse effect on the health.

When a planet in Virgo, inconjuncts a planet in Aquarius the person in question may be subject to unusual or erratic conditions on the job. Co-workers and employees can be too unreliable or unconventional for the native to work with. These circumstances could be the cause of nervous disorders and emotional upsets. There is a great amount of intellectual capacity when the inconjunct is found in these two signs, but it is not a constant attribute for it presents itself in spurts.

If a planet in Libra, should happen to inconjunct a planet in Pisces, there can be a desire for illicit love affairs as a form of escapism. The native may also experience deception with a spouse, or business partner. With this configuration, there is a desire to find that perfect and idealistic mate, which can be never be found in reality. Because this person does not want to settle for less, they may end up lonely, and without a partner. Once again, the native should guard themselves against the use of non-prescription drugs, and the over-consumption of drink.

In some natal charts, two planets are in sextile aspect to each other, and both inconjunct a common third planet. An example of this would be if a person has their Sun in Taurus, and their Mars in Cancer, sextilling one another, with both planets inconjuncting the Moon in Sagittarius. This configuration is known as a yod. Inconjuncts always require that a particular adjustment be made. Many times this adjustment is a difficult one to make. In the case of the yod, the two planets sextiling one another, will help each other make the necessary adjustments. In every yod, the one common planet receiving the two inconjuncts, becomes the focal point of the configuration, and the opportunity to carry out that desire will then be manifested through the two planets in sextile aspect.

If an individual has the inconjuct aspect in their natal chart, and is a highly developed kind of person, they can make the aspect work for them, and reap the benefits of the growth it can produce. On the other hand, if a person is completely anchored to the mundane affairs of life, the inconjunct can be a devastating aspect whose disruptive action has no constructive significance in their life.

BIll Tuma

A Yoga means a combination or conjunction of planets. While Positive Yogas impart strength to the horoscope, Negative Yogas mar and destroy all the postive results bequethed by the positive combinations. Prognostication is difficult normally, as all horoscopes are a mixture of positive and negative indications and influences.

As Vedic Astrology is a revealed Science, revealed to the Seers in Yogic flashes of heightened Consciousness, the remedies prescribed are effective and can ward off negative influences and make man actualise his potential, both material and spiritual, which are the obverse and the reverse of the same coin of Life ! What the Seers hear is only an infinitesimal portion of the Infinite Vedas ( Ananta Vai Veda )!

Amavasi Yoga - This Yoga manifests when the Moon is proximate to the Sun. All planets when they near the Sun, lose their virility and become combust. The conjunction of Luna and Sol is known as Amavasi or New Moon. ( Its opposite phenomenon is the Luni-Solar opposition, Pournami or Full Moon ). The native born under Amavasi Yoga becomes weak mentally, as mental strength can only be bestowed by a powerful ( powerful in digit strength ) Moon ! If Moon comes within 72 degrees of the Sun, she is said to be devoid of digit strength. All the significations associated with the Moon suffer as Moon comes within 72 degrees of the Sun. The Moon signifies Mother & Mind ( Mano Matharo Sheetharashmi ). If the Moon is afflicted, there is danger to the native's mother as well. ( Of course, the 4 H also should be taken into consideration ). An afflicted Moon can also mean that the native will not rise high in the political sphere, as Moon is the Queen in the Celestial Government ( Rajanou Ravi Sheethagu ) ! Amavasi means that the Moon is afflicted by the Sun, who is considered as a natural malefic in VA. Mind will go through depressive Black Holes for the native. Remedial Astrology has it that such natives should fast on Mondays ( Monday being Dies Luna or Day of Moon ) & consecrate to the Divine Mother on Mondays, wear Moonstone or Coral, wear the Soma Talisman & perform Soma Homa ( Soma being the name of Luna ), with the Soma Mantra !

Nisva Yoga - This Yoga manifests when the 2 L ( 2nd lord ) is in the adverse 6,8,12 houses. Sva means Wealth and Nisva means one devoid of wealth, as 2 H is the House of Wealth !. This is a problematic Yoga, as Wealth is something highly fancied by this world ! ( This world is a Vanity Fair ). Remedies are propitiating the 2 L (Second Lord) with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on his Day ( Sunday - Sun;Monday - Moon; : Tuesday - Mars; Wednesday - Mercury; Thursday - Jove; Friday - Venus & Saturday - Saturn ).

Nirbhaya Yoga - This Yoga manifests when the 9 L is in the adverse 6,8,12 houses. This is another problematic Yoga as 9 H rules Fortune. Luck or Fortune is said to be the greatest quality ( Bhagyanvitha Sarva Gunari Upetha ) and lack of it can lead to a chaotic life. Remedies for this are propitiation of the 9 L on his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on his Day and consecrating to the Lord on his Day. Bhagya Sooktha Mantra can be used to counteract this malefic Yoga.

Daridra Yoga - When the 11 L is in the adverse 6, 8, 12 houses, this Yoga manifests. The 11 H is said to be the House of Gains and House for the fulfillment of all desires. ( Abheeshta Labham Khalu Sarvamethath ). Remedies for this are propitiation of the 11 L on his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on his Day and consecrating to the Divine on his Day. Lakshmi Mantra can be used to counteract this Yoga.

Dur Yoga - When the 10 L is in the adverse 6, 8, 12 houses, this Yoga manifests. The 10 H is the most important House as it rules Profession. This destructive Yoga can be a formidable block as the native works hard and finds no result ! Remedies for this are propitiation of the 10 L on his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on his Day and consecrating to the Divine on his Day.

Sakata Yoga - This Yoga manifests when Jupiter and Moon are in 6/8 or 2/12 from each other. Sakata means a wheel in Sanskrit and the native's fortunes will fluctuate like a wheel. He will be led through dire vicissitudes. Jupiter angular to the Moon is Kesari Yoga, a yoga which is diametrically opposite to this Yoga. Sakata Yoga can create financial stringency. Remedies for this are propitiation of the 10 L on his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa & fasting on his Day. Sree Sooktha Mantra can be used to counteract this Yoga. Cancellational factor is an angular Jupiter, angular to the Asc and if so, the native becomes a regal person !

Kalasarpa Yoga - When all planets are hemmed in between the North Node & South Node, this Yoga manifests. Till 34, the native struggles hard in life and in Life there will be occasional dips. Even though some scholars opine that K Y is valid only in Mundane Astrology, this Yoga is found to be destructive in Natal Astrology as well. Remedies include performing a Kalasarpa Homa and wearing the Kalasarpa Talisman and chanting the mantras of both Rahu & Ketu

Asura Yoga - When benefics occupy the 8 H, this Yoga manifests. Asu means the sensory organs and one born in A Y will have sufficient sensory enjoyments. Fate has given the native all the resources to enjoy life fully. For a hedonist, this Yoga is Heaven but for a spiritual aspirant, this Yoga is a big block as it can hinder his spiritual progress, his goal being Self Actualisation ! Only from a spiritual perspective have we included this Yoga as a Negative Yoga.

Kemadruma Yoga - This Yoga manifest when the Signs on either sides of Luna are unoccupied. The person born under this Yoga is dirty, sorrowful, low-minded and devoid of wealth ( Kemadrume Malina Dukhitha Neecha Nisva ). Tripura Mantra can be used to counteract this Yoga. Soma Homa & Yantra can be useful in nullifying this Yoga.

Papa Karthari Yoga - This Yoga manifests when a house or a planet is hemmed in between 2 malefics. If the Ascendant ( Personality, Fame ) is hemmed in between malefics , in a P K Y, there may be even suicidal tendencies. Same is the case if the Moon is in P K Y. If Sun is in P K Y, father's physical & mental health becomes a problem. If Moon is so positioned, mother's. If a House or Bhava is in PKY, then the significations of that House or Bhava suffer. If the 2 H is in P K Y, then the native will have dire vicissitudes. If the Asc is in PKY, then the native's health becomes a problem. Remedial Astrology has it that the afflicted planet or house should be propitiated with the respective ( the planet's or the House lord's ) Mantra, Yantra & Homa.

Malefics in Houses

Malefics vitiate the House it tenants. Natural benefics are Jupiter, Venus, Moon & Mercury. Moon waning is malefic and so is a malefic associated Mercury. Jupiter & Venus become malefics when afflicted by angular ownership ( Kendradhipatya Dosha ).

If the Ascendant is vitiated by a malefic, the native suffers from the hallucination of defeat ( Lagne Papagathe Parajaya Bhaya Siroruja ). There may be affliction to the head. If 2 H, wealth will be afflicted. If 3 H, younger coborns become inimical. If 4 H, mother and conveyances. If 5 H, children. If 6 H, enemies attack the native. If 7 H, life partner creates problems. If 8 H, hindrances and obstacles on the way. If 9 H, Luck will be found wanting. If 10 H, problems in the professional sphere. If 11 H, gains will be difficult to come by. If 12 H, hidden enemies attack the native. There may be even incarceration. Remedial Astrology has it that the afflicted house lord should be propitiated with the respective Mantra, Yantra & Homa.

While evaluating the Yogas, one should check whether cancellational factors are there or not. Cancellation of Kemadruma Yoga goes under the name Kemadruma Bhanga Yoga and a person born under this Yoga becomes a royal personage , like one born in Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga ( Kemadrume Bhavathi Mangala Suprasiddhi ). A powerful Jupiterian aspect can also destroy negativity. Jupiter in the Ascendant or an angular Jupiter can also remove a lot of negativity. Great care must be taken before predicting the effects of negative yogas, as cancellation of a Negative Yoga becomes a Positive Yoga !
