C Salt - Coastal Cuisine by the sea shore!

         

C Salt is a fine dining restaurant predominantly serving South Indian cuisine and located as part of the sprawling Sheraton Grand resort. You could see patches of greenery all around with the main entrance being constructed under a thatched roof like setting. It gives a laidback atmosphere and the blowing of the breeze from the beach side from just across the corner gives it the much needed tranquil environment. Sunday drives in Chennai to the serene beaches and hogging along some glorious cuisine is surely a great getaway to spend the weekend and C Salt amply caters to that requirement.

The menu is well rounded bringing the curated best of South India from 4 coastal regions covering the belts of Malabar, Konkan, Coromandel and Andhra. These areas are known to dish out supreme stuff making primary use of coconut and the aroma can be inherently felt as you step in. It is largely a limited menu comprising of an interesting array of small plates, a few combo based meals and a few mains to go along with side dishes.

Even before we could set the ball rolling, we were served some crunchy tapioca chips to go along with delightful cilantro and lemon dips. We started our foray with the button cakes which were fluffed up pieces of idly generously topped with abundant pieces of podi masala topped with layers of chilies and curry leaves for that enhanced zing. It was absolutely delicious and dwells up as a superlative cocktail based appetizer. Next up from the starter section we had a droolworthy malai brocolli. These florets were drenched along with the rightful dose of cream to get the ammunition soaring and came along with pink onions and a dollop of soya sauce. The pieces were just about perfect both in texture and taste.

                                       

In the main course section, we chose to have a combo meal in the form of a rich creamy gravy comprising of cashew nuts, asparagus and potatoes simmered in a coconut cream avatar coming along with couple of chunks of Aki Roti. It had a wonderful effervescence with the dreamy gravy being suffused with a beautiful blend of coconut cream and going along perfectly well with the rice breads made famous in Karnataka. One minor blip in the gravy was the fact that mix of the ingredients making up the curry seemed a bit one sided. An abundance of cashews made up almost a whole of the mix relegating the potatoes and asparagus to play a distinct second fiddle. Just felt the combination of the three could have been a little more judicious thus avoiding the over powering of cashew nuts in the overall scheme of things. Apart from this we also tried a paratha infused with cheese to go along with a tangy egg gravy mingled with spices aplenty to get a signature taste. The parathas were nice though not dolled up with that much of cheese and also being a little too hard on the surface. The egg curry hit all the right spots on every angle with all the add-ons elevating its taste to another level. Only gripe that was felt was on the quantity which seemed a little less from the bowl being served. We skipped having desserts as there wasn't really more space to take in any further intake.

Overall it was a relaxing meal soaked on a smooth Sunday afternoon setting with the sound of waves providing for some great company to go along with the food that was largely wholesome on substance and flavours. The service was apt and we were helped with some wonderful choices to go with. Time taken for the food seemed a bit on the longer duration but it didn't matter much as we were anyway here to just kill time and enjoy the calmness of this sea side resort. Rates seem fair for the course and definitely in line with what is served at a 5 star property. On the whole, if you're looking for a well deserved yearning weekend afternoon in Chennai wanting some unbridled peace and food to relish, you don't need to look much beyond C Salt which is certain to ensure meeting expectations with aplomb.

Despair to Delirium - When Adversity turned around the corner

Cut to the year 1993. A blonde haired Czech Jana Novotna was playing the match of her life going toe to toe with the mighty German Steffi Graf and on the verge of toppling the then 4 time Wimbledon champion who was looking for her 3rd straight title and 5th conquest in the last 6 years. It seemed just a matter of time as the unheralded Czech had taken an almost unassailable 4-1 lead in the final set with a game point in hand to help her further go up 5-1. But then destiny struck and this young Czech suffered a nervous melt down perhaps like never ever seen before especially at the threshold of greatness and simply disintegrated not being able to handle the enormous pressure in front of a packed Center court audience who were rooting for a new champion to be crowned.

Jana lost her nerves allowing Steffi an array of hope which she pounced immediately by breaking Jana and making the score line 4-2. Novotna still had a break in hand but it was all of no avail as Steffi barraged her way through to win the next 4 games and claim game, set and match for a triple continuous Wimbledon glory. It was heartbreak and absolute despair for the Czech who was on the cusp of a major triumph but alas it was not to be. She just had to retain her poise, composure and play a normal game to close out the match and championship but the euphoric stage of center court got the better of her making her lose the grip allowing Graf to claw back by winning 5 games in a row. It was certainly a case of 'oh so near yet so far' as these opportunities don't come to everyone and one had the feeling this was the last ditch at a Wimbledon title for Jana who wanted it so badly. Though Steffi had won the title with an unprecedented comeback further extending her glorious run of Grand Slam victories, the story which stole the show was Jana bursting on to tears at the presentation ceremony and crying profusely at the Duchess of Kent's shoulders. Everyone was sad for her and there was always a vindictive feeling that this chance may really never occur again for Jana who had stormed her way to the final defeating the invincible Martina Navratilova in the semifinals and was just within a point and a game from usurping Steffi Graf as well.

The next few years after 1993, Jana Novotna was not really able to make a headway in Wimbledon until 1997 when she again managed to reach the finals for the second time. This time her opponent was the precocious16 year old Martina Hingis who had recently become one of the youngest ever to win a Grand Slam by claiming the Aussie Open in the same year at the tender age of 16yrs and 4 months. Martina was already the youngest player ever to win Wimbledon by winning the doubles event in the previous year at just age 15 and was looking to be the youngest ever to win Wimbledon Singles title since the turn of the century. Lottie Dod won at the tender age of 15 going as way back as 1887 during the early stages when Wimbledon began and nobody across the 20th century had come close to conquering at such a young age. Jana had her odds stacked against her and gave the Swiss Miss quite a tiff fight by claiming the first set but eventually it was not to be as Hingis created history by being the youngest in the open era and in the entire 20th century to claim the Venus Rosewater Dish. It was again a bit of a jolt for Jana as she had come so close yet again faltering at the final hurdle.

The next year Jana was back again and this time she was at least not facing such a high profile opponent like Steffi Graf or Martina Hingis in the final. She however avenged her previous final defeat to Hingis defeating her in the semifinals enroute to the final. This time the opponent was the burly French women Natalie Tauziat. There was no doubt that Jana was to go in as the favourite but considering her previous stumbling blocks and the fact that she was nearing 30, the writing was clear that this would perhaps be the last chance ever for her to claim the coveted Wimbledon title which she so dearly wanted to hold. And at last it finally happened. Nervousness did not plague her this time as she quickly breezed through the match taking it in a straight set waltz. The moment had finally happened as all the tears and trauma had finally turned around and as much as it was a celebration, it was a huge sigh of relief for Jana because her dream had finally been fructified. After the nightmarish scenes in 1993 of breaking down in front of the Dutchess to again being outclassed by the Swiss Queen Martina Hingis in 1997, it almost looked as if this moment would never happen. But all of Wimbledon wanted Jana Novotna to one day win Wimbledon and she managed to do it in style albeit much later in her career. Jana's triumph is a cornerstone of resolve and not giving up despite everything being against her. Her win certainly goes down in Wimbledon's history as one of it's most cherishable tales.

Another dark horse winner who was eternally loved and rooted by the partisan Wimbledon crowd was the mercurial Croat Goran Ivanisevic. Goran had quite a feisty character who had a game well equipped to handle grass. His biggest undoing was his own self losing his temper and giving away crucial double faults. A young Ivanisevic had just entered his first final in 1992 defeating Pete Sampras to set up a finale clash with long haired Las Vegan Andre Agassi. It set up for an intriguing clash with the match going down the distance to the 5th set. Down 4-5 in the fifth set on his serve, Goran couldn't handle the pressure conceding 2 back to back double faults to make Agassi go up 0-30. Despite staving up a couple of points, Goran had lost the match in his head granting victory to Andre for his first ever major Grand Slam championship. It was a bitter pill to swallow for Goran who had come pretty close but couldn't control his nerves especially during the crucial 5th set. 

Goran got back again to the final in 1994 and this time his opponent was the defending champion Pete Sampras. This turned out to be quite a straight forward fare for Pistol Pete who claimed victory in straight sets blanking Ivanisevic 6 zip in the final set. Though the first two sets were closely fought and were decided in the tie breaker, Goran couldn't again cope up becoming a cropper especially on those essential decisive points. Gorans next attempt at a Wimbledon final came again in 1998 against the same fancied Pete Sampras who was again the defending champion having won an awe inspiring 5th crown and gunning for his 6th and second straight 3 in a row triumph. This match had all the ebbs and flows going down the wire into the 5th set. Goran faltered yet again in the 5th set, this was certainly his best chance to stop Pete from unchartered glory but again those nerves flared up again and bitter mistakes in the form of defaults on crucial points put paid of his hopes once again. Ivanisevic was welled up with hollow all over and he knew he had thrown away his best chance ever possible and the distant dream of a Wimbledon trophy continued to elude despite 3 shots at the prize.

In the year 2001, Goran Ivanisevic was provided a wild card to enter in the tournament. To be honest, nobody expected him to make any great shakes and it appeared initially as it was just a final flurry for him to play in the tournament he loved so dearly but not able to capture. He came to SW19 ranked a distant #125 and there were no expectations whatsoever. Ivanisevic had a tough draw but started conquering his rivals one by one. His passage through to the quarter finals was also greeted by the news that his regular nemesis Pete Sampras gunning for a 5th straight and unenviable 8th title was vanquished by the up and coming Swiss Roger Federer. It was a coming of age for the Swiss Maestro who had stopped Pistol Pete from achieving glory once again and this win was a hallmark event for Federer who in the years to come would end up dominating the hallowed center court. The quarter finals saw him acing out the marauding Russian Marat Safin setting up a mouth watering clash against crowd favorite and local hero Tim Henman. Tim had just come off an impressive victory over Sampras's conqueror Roger Federer in the quarter finals and the raucous British crowd were all and out cheering for him to win and create history. The British were long awaiting a man of their own to win the hallowed championship and this seemed like a moment of reckoning for Tim. In a slug fest of a bout between Henman and Ivanisevic, Goran managed to keep his nerve intact edging out a superlative 5 set victory. After being hammered 6-0 in the 3rd set for Henman to take a 2 sets to 1 lead, it seemed too much of a proposition to climb but a miraculous rain break helped him to clear out his rear guard action claiming a crucial 4th set in a tight tie breaker and then winning the final set with a break.

Thus, Ivanisevic was back again in the final for the fourth time. It seemed pretty surreal considering he had virtually come here to have fun playing as a rank outsider. The final grand finale was against Australian Pat Rafter who was the losing finalist to Pete Sampras in the year before. Both these gentlemen were gunning to bag their first ever prestigious Wimbledon title. To add to this, rain played havoc moving the match to Monday. This match had virtually everything with fortunes fluctuating both sides constantly. The Croats and Aussies were cheering on for their local boys like crazy and the tension was unsurmountable. The fifth set kept stretching on with drama at peak and with Rafter serving at 7-7 and 15-30, Ivanisevic hit a picture perfect forehand past Rafter to go 15-40 and followed up with one more terrific shot back past to get the pivotal break and go up 8-7. Ivanisevic had fate on his hands but still he had to serve out to emerge the victor. Rafter was not willing to give in easily and another dreaded double default by Ivanisevic had Rafter leading at 15-30. Goran continued by serving another first fault but made up for it with a brilliant second serve ace levelling terms at 30-30. He followed it up with a rip snorter of an ace to go up 40-30 and gain his first match point. At this point, one could witness tears in Goran's eyes and the tension tumbling all over his body. And then Goran again obtained cold feet making up a double fault on match point to get it to deuce. He served again for a winning point to get to his second match point only to howler back with another double fault setting things apiece back at Deuce. This couldn't happen all over once again and the mind reminisced to the horror stories back in the bygone times and it was visible that Goran was struggling hard not to let emotions of the past curtail him once again. There was turmoil raging inside Goran's head and he wanted this badly come what may. With things in parity yet again, a drop shot by Rafter fell outside the side lines handing Ivanisevic his 3rd match point. You could see Ivanisevic sitting on the turf at the place where Rafter had hit it wide literally on his knees praying to the almighty above. Even he couldn't take it any longer with the trauma being unbearable. It seemed that if Goran would fail to convert yet again during the next point, doomsday was going to haunt him forever for the rest of his life. And again on the 3rd match point, a steadied unfazed loop shot by Rafter helped him get back on track to Deuce. Pat was chasing his own dreams and he certainly was in no mood to give up. It was beyond belief to witness the euphoric scenes happening right at the middle of this historic court. A great serve by Ivanisevic handed him Match point #4. But this time Goran was not willing to take time and soak in his emotions. He didn't want to waste too much of time and wanted to get done with the next service. He again served a fault on his first serve and got geared up for his second serve. And at last the moment of a lifetime happened. Rafter hit Goran's serve to the net erupting absolutely wild celebrations. Goran fell on the turf withering in happiness. It was truly a match for the ages stretching the distance on a Monday evening across 5 marathon sets that had drama unfolding across all directions. Ivanisevic's win appeared as if it was one of sport's greatest triumphs. Finally he had got the mickey off his back and got what he had been desiring but that which had been eluding him for so long.

Both Novotna's and Ivanisevic's victories were extremely special and deliciously sweet. They had to encounter tremendous adversity losing at the final hurdle time and again. Both of them were crowd pleasers and there was always an inkling that somehow they should be able to achieve their long last dream. Finally achieving the milestone was indeed a moment of delirium having faced gut wrenching despair in the years prior. The Wimbledon victories by Jana Novotna in 1998 and Goran Ivanisevic in 2001 certainly go down in Wimbledon's memory lane as one to savor for eternity.

Blank Chart Predictions from a Horoscope

Blank chart predictions are a method of horoscope analysis which largely works on energy exhibited or influence imbibed through the blending or combination of signs, houses and planets. The interesting thing to note is that for this kind of analysis, we do not take into account at all as to where the planets are placed in the horoscope. That's why it is coined as "Blank" meaning null or empty, hence placement of planets don't have a say. 

It should however be remembered that planets play the most crucial role in any horoscope and based on it's static placement in the natal chart or it's transitory movement forms the fulcrum of identifying the fate of any horoscope. So it may beg the question as to how can any horoscope be viewed without even knowing where planets are placed in the horoscope? This is the catch in blank chart analysis.

This system gives a great insight on initial horoscope analysis by blending various energies and can give an overview of some of the basic and inherent qualities for those born in different ascendants. It is useful especially for disseminating the natural traits. A majority part of the analysis is identified by basing it on the 'Kalapurusha' chart which indicates the wheel of time along with knowing the state of planet where exaltation or debilitation happens and also fusing a little bit of the signification elements in to the mix.

However, it should always be kept in mind that placement of planets can completely alter the said understanding and hence one shouldn't be too cheeky in trying to interpret everything from just a blank chart. As a first frontier in chart analysis, blank chart predictions can give a heads up on the zone of life where an individual is more focused on or at least wanting to be. It can also be a great learning tool for budding astrologers as a nascent step towards having a basic idea of a particular native.

The listed significations happen to be some of the fundamental classifications for each house. One must also keep in mind the linking of houses to extend the significations. For instance we know 2nd house denotes wealth and 9th is about Father. Thus 10th house which is 2nd from 9th will denote the wealth of the father. Likewise spouses profession can be ordained from the 4th house being the 10th house of profession from the 7th house of spouse. While doing predictions, an astrologer must be able to link various factors in order to generate relatable extended significations from each house.

With regard to the significations, each and every planet except the nodes is given the main portfolio of one of the houses with the outer planets from earth given more than one each whereas the inner planets are given one each. Jupiter has 4 main significations being the root signifier of 2nd, 5th, 9th and 11th. Mars and Saturn hold key portfolio for the general bad houses with Mars being given 3rd, 6th and Saturn being provided 8th and 12th. The four kendras are all given to Sun (1st), Moon (4th), Venus (7th) and Mercury (10th). However it should be remembered that a house has multiple significations and hence there can be secondary karakas as well for eg. the profession and karma area of 10th the signifier will be Saturn whereas when seeing the status, position, leadership etc we have to be see from purview of Sun. Likewise the luxuries associated with 4th house, Venus will take charge whereas things related to land and property, Mars will have a say. These also need to be factored in but as a first step the primary root karaka provided by Sage Parashara would be helpful in catching the crucial areas in the relevant houses.

The Zodiac signs have numerous classifications such as being categorized into odd/even, positive/negative, day/night, rising from head/back, ascension as short/medium/long, quality as sattwik/rajasic/tamasic, aim being Dharma/Artha/Kama/Moksha, type being quadruped/human/watery/insect etc., along with various divisions. Knowing these may also come in handy when knowing more innate features of zodiac signs. However the fundamental classification of rasis ruled by the respective planets and knowing their element and mobility can be extremely useful in making subtle predictions. Rahu and Ketu have not been considered as they do not own signs exclusively of their own and they are more known to give results based on the house or sign in which they are placed. Since blank charts do not consist of planets placement, these have not been considered.

Making Blank Chart Predictions
Lets now see how we can make some handy predictions for different signs using blank charts. Knowing essentials such as characteristic features of various signs, important representations of the different houses, the signifier and ruling lord of all the houses along with the exaltation and debilitation of each planet in the houses and signs are very important when it comes to making such blank chart predictions.

We shall see some random predictions that can be made using this method. For an Aries Ascendant, we can that they are more happy in work environment than home environment as the Ascendant Lord exalts in 10th house and debilitates in 4th house. At the same time since 10th lord debilitates in sign of Aries, we can also infer that they may face some problems relating to profession. Taking the case of Virgo Lagna, we can say these natives are naturally intelligent as Virgo is the only sign where Lagna Lord gets exalted in Lagna itself. However they may be rather poor in relationship matters as the Lagna Lord debilitates in 7th house. We can infer that Gemini & Sagittarius natives can have an extra liking towards 4th house matters like mother, education, vehicles etc as in these cases both Ascendant Lord and 4th Lord are ruled by one and the same planet Mercury for Gemini and Jupiter for Sagittarius. For a Gemini Lagna, the intensity is even more because the lord also gets exalted in the 4th house. Taking the case of a Pisces Ascendant, the Lagna Lord Jupiter gets exalted in the 5th house. Jupiter also happens to be the natural signifier of the 5th house. So it can be predicted that these natives can be really fond of children. For a Libra Lagna person, 7th house is Aries and we know that 7th house is all about relationships and Aries sign denotes energy and activeness. So we can say a Libra Ascendant native is very active when it comes to forging relationships. Similarly we know Taurus shows resources and 8th house talks about in laws, thus we can say Libra Ascendants can get plenty of resources from their in laws by blending sign and house energy. A Cancer Ascendant native has his 3rd sign as Virgo. 3rd represents writing/communication and Virgo can mean critical, analytical, perfection. Hence we can say a Cancer Ascendant native aims for perfectionism when it comes to writing skills. For a Scorpio Ascendant, Capricorn comes as 3rd House and Capricorn has all to do with structure, order, discipline. Hence we can infer that the younger sibling of a Scorpio native is very orderly and meticulous in approach. Likewise for a Capricorn native, Scorpio is the 11th house and natural 8th house. So these natives may have a group or network of friends who could be actively engaged in occult sciences. A Leo native, the ascendant lord gets debilitated in 3rd house and exalted in 9th house. So these natives may benefit from 9th house matters like father, fortune, luck etc. We can even go one step and say that the father of these natives may be very active as it's coming in Aries sign. On the other hand these natives may not gain from 3rd house matters since its debilitated. Hence we can say not much help from younger siblings who may be very diplomatic in nature because of Libra sign which may not bode well for Leo Ascendants. For Aquarius Ascendants, Pisces is their 2nd house of money. Hence we can say that these natives earn money from significations of Pisces which could be in the form of spirituality, healing etc. Pisces also means oceans and crossing the waters, hence finance flow can come through foreign lands.

Illustration of using Blank Chart Prediction
We will now do an illustration of Blank Chart prediction of one particular Ascendant say Virgo by breaking into diverse segments and analyze results purely based on the blending of different dimensions of the sign and house energies

- Natural Sign Traits
Virgo is a dual sign of earth nature. There are certain inherent characteristics of Virgo sign and from that we can infer that these natives will be analytical by nature viewing things in detail and wanting to attain perfection. They can be too self critical at times and get nervous very soon as the indecisiveness of dual sign creeps in. As the sign is ruled by Mercury, we can also say they may be of curious kind and mildly of a thinner disposition as Virgo rules the hips or waistline area which is underneath the belly and shows a reduction in body fluff around that side. 

- Kala Purusha House Order
As per the Kala Purusha Order, Virgo happens to be the natural 6th house of the zodiac. We know 6th house represents fights, issues and hence we can expect Virgo natives to be naturally of an argumentative nature. They may be very competitive by spirit and always wanting to be victorious in every endeavor. They may disagree on a lot of things and it's very hard to convince these natives as they look at most things in a minute manner.

- Other Lordship Impact
For a Virgo Ascendant native, Mercury is the ruler of both the 1st and 10th house. As we know 1st is all about the self and 10th is to do with one's profession and livelihood. Since the same planet rules the 1st and the 10th, these natives will take their work very seriously and always looking for ways to meet their needs. Since the ruler is Mercury, few natural significations of the planet will also come into the picture like for instance these individuals being logical and calculative when it comes to professional matters. Likewise Jupiter rules both the 4th and 7th houses. 4th is about mother and 7th spouse. Hence a Virgo native may treat matters of mother and spouse equally with no discrimination and since Jupiter is the owner of both these houses, he may be very respectful and duty bound when it comes to such matters.

- Exaltation and Debilitation
Virgo is ruled by the sign of Mercury which exalts in Virgo itself in the first house and debilitates in the 7th house ruled by Pisces. Virgo is the only zodiac sign where the Ascendant ruler gets exalted in it's very own sign. Hence one can easily infer that such natives will be extremely intelligent due to this proposition. However since Lagna Lord debilitates in the opposite 7th house, they may be pretty weak when dealing with other people be it with their spouse or relating to any business negotiations.

- Karaka Theory
Each house has a primary root karaka and for the 10th house the main signifier happens to be Mercury especially relating to matters such as to do with gaining honours and achievements. The Karaka of 10th Mercury gets exalted in 1st house but gets debilitated in 7th house. We know the 1st house is the self and 7th is about dealing with others. This clearly highlights that such natives are better off doing their own service than indulging in business activities since the karaka gets uncomfortable when it is dealing with different people. The primary signifier of 3rd house is Mars mainly to do with courage, valor etc and we see that it gets exalted in the 5th house of Capricorn. So these natives may be pretty creative when exhibiting their skills but however may not be gaining much due to the karaka being debilitated in the floating up and down 11th house of Cancer.

- Progression Based Approach
In general, we have 12 houses in a horoscope and every year of life is said to dictate one sign each. Hence in the 1st year Virgo will be activated with 2nd being Libra, 3rd Scorpio and so on till 12th being Leo. The order repeats again with Virgo activating the 13th year and so on and so forth. We know Gemini represents changes and happens to be the 10th sign for a Virgo native. Thus in ages of 22, 34, 46 etc. we can deduce that these natives would have had a change in their work place. For instance 4th house will be activated during year 4,16,28,40,52,64,76,88,100 etc. During the above mentioned ages, a lot of 4th house significations will take place such as completion of education, buying vehicles, acquiring property etc. However this rule should be seen with a pinch of salt as a lot depends on the sign placement of Sagittarius and it's lord Jupiter also for things to get activated.

- Blending of Signs and Houses
This is fundamentally the most important rule and forms the crux of the prediction analogy behind analyzing blank or blind charts. Each house is to be studied based on where it falls in the natural zodiac and accordingly the sign energy needs to be blended with the house in question. The first house of Virgo happens to be the 6th house of the natural zodiac and we know the 6th pertains to difficulty. So these natives will naturally be difficult to please and have questions for every matter. The 2nd house falls in Libra which is the natural 7th sign. As Libra represents choice, these natives could also be pretty choosy when it comes to their food habits. Thus we can infer that these natives will be pretty balanced when dealing with money and family matters. Since the 3rd house falls in the natural 8th house, it can be inferred that these natives will be quite secretive with regard to their communication or efforts put in. As the 4th house is natural 9th house of exploring, these individuals will like to research about things like vehicles, properties in much depth. The mother of such natives can be quite religious as it happens to be sign of Sagittarius denoting belief system. The 5th house happens to be the natural 10th house of Capricorn and hence with regard to matters of children, it can be said that they would be strict and bring them up with discipline. Coming to 6th house which happens to be natural 11th house, it can be said that these natives can gain from court cases or any disputes prevailing. From another angle, since the 6th house rules diseases and falls in the sign of Aquarius that represents legs especially the shanks, it could be said that these natives may be having issues relating to that part of the legs. The 7th house happens to be the natural 12th house of loss and hence these natives may feel the pinch when dealing with other people. Incidentally the other rules already pointed to a weakness when dealing with 7th house matters and this only exacerbates the issue all the more. The 8th house happens to be Aries which is the 1st sign of the zodiac and connotes new beginnings. With regard to hidden and secretive issues, they may want to try newer approaches and put lots of efforts to know such things. The 9th house happens to be the 2nd sign of Taurus denoting support and resources. It can be inferred that the father of the native can be a very resourceful person or even the native's teachers being virtuous. The 10th house is about work and happens to be the natural 3rd sign of Gemini. It is pretty easy to state that the work environment will be quite communicative. Multiple professions can also be indicated from Gemini's duality trait. From the 11th house that happens to be the 4th house of natural zodiac, it can be said that these natives could be emotionally connected to their social network. Some sort of gains can also arise through 4th house matters like mother, properties etc. Since Leo happens to be the 12th house and the natural 5th house, it can be said that these natives will incur expenditure to maintain status quo and for the sake of their children or any other creative pursuits.

- Extended Significations
Through the blending of signs and houses, we were able to predict various facets pertaining to an individuals life. By extending this theory we can also briefly predict about matters relating to the natives family members. For instance, father is represented by the 9th house and for a Virgo native, 9th house falls in the sign of Taurus through which we were able to infer that the father could be a resourceful person. Now if we want to know about the wealth capacity of the father, we would have to look at the 2nd sign from the 9th house of Virgo which happens to be Gemini. Now we know Gemini represents variety and multiple sources and hence it can be said that the dad of the native may be earning wealth through various avenues. Likewise other areas can also be decoded by linking houses for instance to know about spouses profession we need to see the 10th from the 7th sign of Pisces which would be the sign of Sagittarius for a Virgo Ascendant.

- Sign and House Energy for Other Ascendants
We should also keep in mind that Virgo would be ruling a particular house for the other ascendants and taking care of specific portfolios based on the house it is associated. Using the energy of Virgo, we would be able to work out relatable predictions based on the house of Virgo. For instance a Libra Ascendant native will have Virgo ruling the 12th house of expenditure and we know Virgo happens to be the natural 6th house of the zodiac. Hence we can say that Libra Ascendant natives may be incurring lots of spends with regard to paying their debts, dealing with enemies, diseases etc. A Capricorn Ascendant will have Virgo as it's 9th sign that connotes one's teachers. Since it falls in sign of Virgo which is all about paying attention to detail, we can say that the Gurus/Father/Mentor of Capricorn Ascendant natives will be very meticulous and well planned.

Conclusion
These are just a glimpse of how predictions can be made simply out of blank charts. By blending various energies of sign, house, planets majority of predictions can be performed through the inherent cosmos prevailing within this framework. If one is skilled and able to use the creative forte to the best of ability, numerous predictions can just flow unendingly and a plethora of results can be foretold simply through the ascendant alone. However as emphasized earlier, these may not always work and everything can change in a dramatic manner based on actual placement of planets in the chart. The blank chart predictions can give a high level insight especially when a planet is actually not placed in the house or sign being analyzed. If there are planets placed, results can get altered significantly and caution needs to be exercised. Thus predictions using this methodology needs to be thread carefully and used judiciously in order to obtain the best results possible.

The Methodology and Interpretation behind the Karma system of DNA Astrology

DNA Astrology has originated as a fairly recent system of Astrology and it has become quite prominent pretty quickly. Word goes that this form of astrology was apparently been practiced in the hilly regions of Tamil Nadu but it was brought out in the open by one Mr. Vishal Logeshwaran who was provided the secret formula of each Nakshatra being associated with a specific planetary karma and hence was born the concept of DNA Astrology approximately around the year 2017.

The underlying feature about DNA astrology is that it is not for prediction purposes. One may wonder then what's this all about because the basic foundation of astrology itself happens to be predictive based. DNA Astrology is all about genetical connectivity and studying patterns of an individual's karma imprints and deriving the course of action for a person in this lifetime. Based on the planetary positions, DNA astrology can draw insights about a person's personality and provide the required direction and guidance to follow in life. 

A lot is inferred based on past life genesis and by studying and observing the DNA pattern linked to the birth chart, it helps to provide scientific clues on what areas are more suited and which are not when it comes to different facets of life. For instance, through DNA astrology, it would be possible to configure what kind of spouse and their particular profession one can get based on the planetary combinations present in one's chart. Knowing this, it would help for the individual to search in a particular zone rather than wasting time on futile efforts. For example, if the planetary positions in a horoscope states that getting a spouse in doctor profession is not genetically possible, it would be prudent not to search for a spouse in medical area and instead harness energies on searching for a spouse in allied professions indicated by DNA astrology.

One more thing to note is that DNA Astrology is an evolving science. In the inception, it was all about only the Nakshatras but it's much more broad based and connects the karma through various houses and planetary combinations present in an individual's horoscope. We will look below at how DNA karma is interwoven across different Nakshatras, planets, signs and houses.

Nakshatra Karma
The fundamental first focus is based on the default karma that an individual has when taking birth and this is assessed based on the Nakshatra of Lagna or Ascendant, the Nakshatra of Moon and the Nakshatra of the Lagna Lord or Ascendant Lord. Each of the Nakshatra has a planetary karma interlinked as seen below:

In the scheme of Nakshatras, it is seen that for all the Nakshatras there is a planetary karma associated except for Ketu. Ketu is considered as Moksha Karaka and hence no Nakshatra is subject to Karma of Ketu. Hence only the 8 planets from Sun to Rahu are associated with planetary karma when pertained to Nakshatras. The easy way to remember this is to associate every Nakshatra with the weekday order from Sunday to Saturday. Hence Ashwini is tagged to Sunday and Sun, Bharani to Moon and Monday and so on and so forth till Punarvasu is associated with Saturday and Saturn. After this we give the next Nakshatra of Pushya to Rahu and from then on the order repeats once again from Sun to Rahu. Sun, Moon and Mars alone have 4 Nakshatras linked to DNA Karma since the total Nakshatras are 27 and when divided by 8 planets, reminder is 3 and they get slotted to Sun (Poorva Bhadra), Moon (Uttara Bhadra) and Mars (Revathi). Listed below are the summary grouping of planets and the DNA Nakshatras associated.

DNA Karma of Sun - Ashwini, Ayilyam, Anusham, Pooratathi

DNA Karma of Moon - Bharani, Magam, Kettai, Uthiratathi

DNA Karma of Mars - Krithika, Pooram, Moolam, Revathi

DNA Karma of Mercury - Rohini, Uthiram, Pooradam

DNA Karma of Jupiter - Mrigaseerisham, Hastham, Uthiradam

DNA Karma of Venus - Thiruvadirai, Chithirai, Thiruvonam

DNA Karma of Saturn - Punarpoosam, Swathi, Avittam

DNA Karma of Rahu - Poosam, Vishakam, Sadayam

DNA Karma of Ketu - None

As an illustration, let's say one's Ascendant falls in the sign of Gemini in Punarpoosam Nakshatra and the Lagna Lord of Gemini which is Mercury sits in Revathi Nakshatra. Also let's say the moon sign falls in Sagittarius in the Nakshatra of Poorva Ashada. Hence it can be inferred that this person has the following planetary karma based on his birth chart:

Lagna Nakshatra : Punarpoosam - Saturn Karma

Lagna Lord Nakshatra : Revathi - Mars Karma

Moon Nakshatra : Pooradam - Mercury Karma

Thus, it can be inferred that this individual has a combination of Saturn, Mars and Mercury Karma. Sometimes a person can have only 2 planets as DNA Karma and at times it can be only one planet DNA Karma if the Lagna Nakshatra, Lagna Lord Nakshatra, Moon Nakshatra all fall in a particular Nakshatra ruled by the same planet. Eg. if Lagna Nakshatra is Krithika, Lagna Lord Nakshatra is Anuradha and Moon Nakshatra is Ashlesha then all of the three are associated exclusively with Sun Karma. In such a case the intensity of the DNA Karma can be more because influence is completely from a particular planet.

One more thing to note in the scheme of DNA Astrology is that when an individual is associated with a particular planetary karma, both the good and bad things tend to get accompanied. Karma is not always bad and it also tells about the good actions we have done in the past and hence this also has to be remembered and born in mind. For eg. if someone has Moon Karma, both positive and negative connotations can come across the individual with respect to Moon significations such as maintaining a fine relationship with Mother but at the same time getting impacted by advise from Mother. Likewise someone having Mercury Karma may be blessed with good communicative skills but the communication can also land him up in trouble in some way or other. Hence one has to be cognizant of this fact that a particular karma can end up acting both sides in the affirmative and in the non complying state.

Planet Karma
Apart from the Nakshatras being associated to a karma of a particular planet, the planets themselves are linked to the DNA karma of another planet. This is based on the concept of Birth Star of a planet taken from "Vichitra Jothidam". Based on the birth Nakshatra of each planet, we figure out the DNA karma of that planet and derive the planetary karma for each of the 9 planets including Ketu as seen below:

Sun : Birth Star Hastha - DNA Karma Jupiter
Moon : Birth Star Mrigashira - DNA Karma Jupiter
Mars : Birth Star Uthara Ashada - DNA Karma Jupiter
Mercury : Birth Star Dhanishta - DNA Karma Saturn
Jupiter : Birth Star Pushya - DNA Karma Rahu
Venus : Birth Star Magha - DNA Karma Moon
Saturn : Birth Star Revathi - DNA Karma Mars
Rahu : Birth Star Bharani - DNA Karma Moon
Ketu : Birth Star Ashlesha - DNA Karma Sun

Hence we can correlate that DNA Karma of Jupiter carries the blessing or curse of Sun, Moon & Mars whereas DNA Karma of Moon takes effect in the form of Venus & Rahu. DNA Karma of Sun is affected by Ketu, DNA Karma of Mars by Saturn, DNA Karma of Saturn by Mercury and DNA Karma of Rahu by Jupiter. Listed below is the full list of planets karmically associated for all 9 planets
DNA Karma of Sun : Ketu
DNA Karma of Moon : Venus, Rahu
DNA Karma of Mars : Saturn
DNA Karma of Mercury : None
DNA Karma of Jupiter : Sun, Moon, Mars
DNA Karma of Venus : None
DNA Karma of Saturn : Mercury
DNA Karma of Rahu : Jupiter
DNA Karma of Ketu : None

How this is to be interpreted is that based on the placement of a planet in the chart we can infer that it carries the DNA karmic registry of the planet connected. For instance wherever Venus is placed in the chart, it would exhibit the karmic traits of Moon and wherever Sun is placed it may showcase the significance of Jupiter for instance. As an example let's say Saturn is placed in the 1st house of a horoscope. In such a case it may normally be predicted that the person would be slow and carry a lazy gait much akin to Saturnian significations but since we know Saturn possesses the karmic connection of Mars, the individual may actually be aggressive and display Martian energy.

Sign Karma
The Zodiac signs are also affected by a DNA Karma based on the Moola Trikona placement of the respective planets. Not all signs carry a DNA karma since there are only 9 planets but there are 12 signs. Also each planets makes its office of responsibility in only one particular sign though it could be owning more than one sign. Lets look below at the zodiac signs carrying planetary karma

Mesha/Aries: Moola Trikona of Mars - DNA Karma Jupiter
Rishaba/Taurus: Moola Trikona of Moon - DNA Karma Jupiter
Mithuna/Gemini: Moola Trikona of no planet - No DNA Karma
Karka/Cancer: Moola Trikona of no planet - No DNA Karma
Simha/Leo: Moola Trikona of Sun - DNA Karma Jupiter
Kanni/Virgo: Moola Trikona of Mercury - DNA Karma Saturn and Moola Trikona of Rahu - DNA Karma Moon
Thula/Libra: Moola Trikona of Venus - DNA Karma Moon
Vrischika/Scorpio: Moola Trikona of no planet - No DNA Karma
Dhanus/Sagittarius: Moola Trikona of Jupiter - DNA Karma Rahu
Makara/Capricorn: Moola Trikona of no planet - No DNA Karma
Kumbha/Aquarius: Moola Trikona of Saturn - DNA Karma Mars
Meena/Pisces: Moola Trikona of Ketu - DNA Karma Sun

Hence DNA Karma of Jupiter is associated with the signs of Aries, Taurus and Leo, DNA Karma of Moon is linked with Virgo and Libra. DNA Karma of Saturn is also linked with Virgo. DNA Karma of Sun with Pisces, DNA Karma of Mars with Aquarius and DNA Karma of Rahu with Sagittarius. There is no DNA Karma of any sign associated with Mercury, Venus and Ketu. However for Mercury and Venus, it is said that 4th and 3rd house respectively influence the karma and hence taking from the default Kala Purusha order, we provide Cancer to Mercury due to it being natural 4th sign and Gemini to Venus due to it being natural 3rd sign. Thus a deviation is made to accommodate Gemini & Cancer sign whereas no planet has its DNA karma in the signs of Scorpio and Capricorn. Summarized below are the DNA Karma of planets and the zodiac signs influencing the karma

DNA Karma of Sun : Pisces
DNA Karma of Moon : Virgo, Libra
DNA Karma of Mars : Aquarius
DNA Karma of Mercury : Cancer
DNA Karma of Jupiter : Aries, Taurus, Leo
DNA Karma of Venus : Gemini
DNA Karma of Saturn : Virgo
DNA Karma of Rahu : Sagittarius
DNA Karma of Ketu : None

House Karma
Similar to the signs, the houses are also connected with DNA karmic registry as seen below:
1st House : DNA Karma Jupiter
2nd House : DNA Karma Jupiter
3rd House : DNA Karma Venus
4th House : DNA Karma Mercury
5th House : DNA Karma Jupiter
6th House : DNA Karma Moon/Saturn
7th House : DNA Karma Moon
8th House : No DNA Karma
9th House : DNA Karma Rahu
10th House : No DNA Karma
11th House : DNA Karma Mars
12th House : DNA Karma Sun

This is also derived on similar lines as seen with the Moola Trikona concept of planets and based on the Kala Purusha order. Venus and Mercury are additionally provided DNA Karma for 3rd house and 4th house respectively based on observation in numerous horoscopes of natives having their 3rd and 4th house affected by DNA karma of these two planets.

DNA Karma of Sun : 12th House
DNA Karma of Moon : 6th House, 7th House
DNA Karma of Mars : 11th House
DNA Karma of Mercury : 4th House
DNA Karma of Jupiter : 1st House, 2nd House, 5th House
DNA Karma of Venus : 3rd House
DNA Karma of Saturn : 6th House
DNA Karma of Rahu : 9th House
DNA Karma of Ketu : None

Interpretation of Planets as per DNA Karma

Sun:
Sun signifies Power, Authority, Ego, Leadership, Politics, Administration & Medical professions, Father figure etc. Those born with Sun DNA Karma, their family members will be involved in professions like HR, Admin, Principal, Team Leader, Higher Rank officials, Government Authority related etc. These individuals will naturally have traits towards the things which Sun signifies. They will be good healers and generally have an important reputation and standing. They could have an up and down relationship with their dads and may have some issue with Government authorities etc. In a horoscope wherever Sun is placed, it only points the direction but does not provide the result. Sun always orders and expects everyone to listen to it but does not like to listen to others. Sun also boasts about its qualities and this show off nature can put others off. Another thing to note is that it likes to showcase arrogance pertaining to the house where it is placed. If native is able to control these habits, it helps to curtail the negative karma associated with Sun. 

Moon:
Moon signifies mind, feelings, Motherly figure, psychology, feelings, travel, water related things, professions associated with food & liquids etc. Those born with Moon DNA Karma, their family members would be involved in professions like Hotel, Catering, Groceries, Agriculture, Rice Mill etc. These individuals are the ones possessing strong mental strength but at the same time are the ones who also get mentally affected. Its in a similar vein when it comes to their relationship with mother. Wherever Moon is sitting, that house significations will always be up and down which means you may or may not get the result. Moon represents public culture, lifestyle etc. So how others decide that’s how Moon also acts. Moon karmic people always have mindset that others should not speak ill of them as they are very concerned about what the public or community thinks about them. It always denotes change and always tends to copy others. Moon is responsible for our conscious mind, attachments towards others through which it is clear that they cannot be without others and cannot think or do things of their own. In a way they put paid to their own selves. If individual is cognizant of these issues and takes care, the negative attributes can be taken care of.

Mars:
Mars signifies valor, courage, marriage initiation, younger siblings, aggression, uniform related professions, landed properties etc. It is common for those with Mars DNA Karma for their family members to be in professions like Police, Army, Construction, Civil Engineering, Sports field etc. People with strong Mars Karma mostly do their job pretty quickly. They also tend to get angry and irritated in a trifle. Relationships with younger siblings can be little cold and hence its good not to be too emotional with them. The place where Mars sits in the horoscope tells about the desire of birth. For instance if Mars is placed in 4th, it tells about comforts, education, vehicles etc. For those with Mars in 4th, their birth notion will be with respect to these significations. In issues signifying Land dealings, Asset Partitioning, Property Construction etc. those with Mars Karma can get affected a lot, hence its advisable to be careful with respect to investing money or dealing in such areas. Also it would be good to control stubbornness to reduce negative effects of Mars karma.

Mercury:
Mercury signifies communication, intelligence, education, documents, analytical mind, logic, inter caste love, friends, writing, maternal relatives etc. In families of Mercury DNA Karma, it is common to see people in the fields of finance, education, banking, authoring, printing, journalism, astrology etc. Mercury in general shows essential knowledge in various diverse fields. One thing to note is that in families of those with Mercury Karma, there could be extremities in the sense you would find people being extremely intelligent and at the same time there could be those who are dull headed and ignorant. With regard to marriage also its witnessed that with Mercury Karma, people marry very closely within families and similarly also marry complete strangers practicing different religions and being of another ethnicity. The approach to life for those with Mercury Karma will be very different than usual. They never come to a decision easily and keep oscillating between various choices. They always require an assurance and acceptance tends to be only with a condition. Mercury however shows flexibility and can bring control when needed. If the prevailing issues are understood and worked accordingly, the negative features can be brought down to an extent.

Jupiter:
Jupiter signifies children, teacher, religion, knowledge, divinity, spirituality etc. It is common in the families of those with Jupiter Karma to be in the fields of Teaching, Banking, Finance, Judge, Gold Business, Temple Priests etc. Some of the professions become similar with that of Mercury and it could be because Mercury connotes intelligence but Jupiter is about knowledge and wisdom. There is a great chance that people in Jupiter related professions can have expertise in their chosen field. There could be some issues with children especially the first born. In some way they may not be able to get along well or do much to their children. There can also be complications during delivery time or in bringing them up. Jupiter DNA Karma can also show financial misconducts, fund mismanagements etc. There is also a saying that Guru only shows the way but doesn't follow in the sense that Jupiter only advises, teaches or preaches but on it's own never follows the same as a role model. For instance, if Jupiter is placed in 9th, father will advise a lot saying this is good and this is bad but in his lifetime he would not have followed the same. Wherever Jupiter is placed, it also shows we haven't followed the Dharma or knowledge towards the same. Keeping these things in mind and working on those could alleviate the harmful effects of Jupiter DNA Karma.

Venus:
Venus signifies relationships, spouse, beauty, luxuries, entertainment, artistic talents etc. In families of those with Venus Karma, it is common to see professions related to cosmetics, beauticians, make up artists, costumes, fine arts such as music/movies/dance/drama, things to do with extravagance etc. They usually tend to mix along well with everyone and have a happy go lucky attitude. They are highly pleasure seeking and passionate about most things. They have a lot of emotional bonding and go with the flow without considering logic which tends to affects them a lot. They also have a lot of expectations which ends up disappointing them in the end. It is generally seen that people with Venus karma tend to have problems in relationships and marriage. They also are not able to enjoy their wealth to the fullest even if they are well off and tend to have a negative approach towards life. The place where Venus sits indicates the Kula Deivam karma. Also wherever Venus is placed, it suffers from Moon related dosh. For eg if Venus in 7th, partner will have some problem relating to the significations of Moon which could mean mind getting disrupted. If the negative attributes are kept in mind, the issues can be solved to a reasonable extent.

Saturn:
Saturn signifies profession, longevity, delays, handicap, elder siblings, labour etc. It is common to see families with Saturn Karma engaged in professions like labor jobs, working in hospitals, oil mills, iron, steel, ink, marketing, lawyers, drilling, mining etc. They are very hard working by nature but at the same time are also casual. They are also very honest in their dealings and take integrity very seriously. They also extend their helpful nature towards others. When it comes to taking a decision however they tend to stumble quite a bit. When it comes to profession, you can see both sides of the coin. On one end, it is possible to witness people who go on working for eons continuously with the scope of earning fame and money but at the same time even laggards could be seen not going for work for long or surviving in the same job for a lengthy duration of time without any growth prospects or development. Since Saturn is also the signifier of longevity, it is seen in families with Saturn Karma that there are two extremes when it comes to life expectancy. The areas in life in which we have not valued or where we have shown arrogance or pride, those areas will be under the control of Saturn. For eg Saturn in 2nd house, tells that we have not shown the right values in previous life pertaining to significations of that house. Anything related to Saturn we should not showcase to others. How much ever significations that Saturn show, if we are secretive with regard to dealing with it, that can be beneficial. However if we tend to portray the effects of the significations to outsiders it can end up backfiring. If these things are taken care off, negative effects of Saturn can be harnessed to some length.

Rahu:
Rahu signifies out of the box thinking, bitterness, multiple languages, unconventional, outcaste, foreign, gambling, illusions, larger than life persona, grandfather etc. Families of those with Rahu Karma indicates profession related to Electricity, Electronics, Chemical Engineering, Logistics, Travelling or Government transport related such as Road contracts, Airways, Roadways, Harbors, Bus Depot etc. Sudden happenings are very common with Rahu and it also indicates happening of uncertain events more than once. Rahu tells about those desires which were not satisfied in previous life. The place which Rahu sits, how much ever is obtained the satisfaction will not be there and there will be the urge to keep on wanting more and more. For instance if Rahu is placed in 4th house, those natives would never be happy with the possessions they possess with respect to education, properties etc. Even expectations with mother will be very high. If Rahu is joined with another planet, even significations with regard to that planet get impacted with extreme levels of desires. To limit the evil effects of Rahu, it would be good to exercise caution and not expect things beyond imagination.

Ketu:
Ketu signifies mystery, detachment, darkness, trouble, grandmother, fever, problems, cuts, mathematics, deep knowledge, conspiracy, black magic etc. Ketu can indicate jobs pertaining to tantric, healing, doctors, preceptors, dealing with locally sourced herbs/medicines, yogis, saints, occult, government posts, working with ropes/wires/cables etc. Ketu does not have any direct genetical connectivity on its own but wherever Ketu is placed in a chart it would exhibit the characteristics of Sun. Ketu tells about the responsibilities that were not completed in previous life. Whichever house it sits, how much ever we do with respect to that house, that house will not attain satisfaction because it is like a loan from previous life. For eg if Ketu in 5th, how much ever is done to children, returns don't come in fully. If in 4th mother will only see ones tasks done towards her as a responsibility but will not show appreciation. Hence one cannot expect a result from that house as it can only lead to further problems. Hence reducing expectations and not being sentimental with respect to the house in which Ketu is placed can help in warding off negative effects to a tolerable extent. 

Interpretation of Signs as per DNA Karma 

Mesha/Aries:
Whichever house appears as Aries in the horoscope, one will not be able to reap rewards out of the same. They will not be able to enjoy the benefits out of that house. For eg. Cancer Lagna - Aries happens to be the 10th house. These natives may not be able to benefit much from profession. It is better to get the things not done in your own name for betterment. As an instance, for a Capricorn Lagna born person, Aries comes as 4th house which relates to vehicles and properties. Such an individual in order to get the advantage should purchase these in someone else name.

Rishaba/Taurus:
Taurus house showcases ones virtues and blessings of wealth. Whichever house comes as Taurus for a native they will be able to enjoy the money related benefits and virtues with regard to the house significations. For eg. for a Libra Lagna native, Taurus becomes the 8th house and tells about one's in laws. It means that this native could receive benefits from spouses family. It could also mean these natives will receive favorable benefits from provident funds, insurance as they relate to 8th house. For say a Sagittarius Lagna, Taurus is their 6th house and they could benefit in competitive examinations.

Mithuna/Gemini:
Gemini house points out to secrecy and has tendency to spread rapidly. Thus anything pertaining to this house will spread instantly and go out as a secret. Whichever house comes as Gemini, it will expose the secretive matters with regard to its significations. Hence one may have to be extra careful when sharing sensitive matters. For instance, a Sagittarius Lagna native will have Gemini as its 7th house. Such natives should not speak in the open about relationships or their partner as it can spread in a wrong way. Similarly Taurus Lagna natives should be hesitant and maintain a stance in not disclosing much of their money matters as it can take a turn towards the wrong direction.

Karka/Cancer:
Cancer house pinpoints a floating propensity. The house which appears as Cancer will always be unsteady by nature and show up and down results. Anything which is hoped from that house may come or may may not come as expected. Cancer also tells about one's talents and abilities. Eg for a Gemini Lagna - Cancer happens to be the 2nd bhava. If they have chance to earn money in a particular field,  they need to grab it immediately otherwise they would need to wait a long time to obtain it again. For a Pisces Lagna native, Cancer happens to be 5th house relating to children. If these natives delay in wanting to have a child, when they really want to explore the option of having a child it may not happen in the normal manner and it could take more time due to the unstable trait of Cancer house.

Simha/Leo:
Whichever house comes as Leo, it will only show the direction but will not help. It also shows ones dreams and imaginations which means to say that the person will think deeply about that house significations and that would be first priority. Eg for a Pisces Lagna - Leo sign happens to be 6th bhava. If these people need a loan they would be asked to go here and there and get all sorts of advise but will not receive the actual help to process a loan. Hence Leo as a house will guide and show a path but will not come down and help. For a Aquarius Lagna, Leo is 7th house and deals with marriage matters. One can relate it to a matrimony portal which will show various alliances but ultimately contacting and realizing an alliance would not be done by the house in question.

Kanni/Virgo:
Whichever house comes as Virgo, it will show fights and issues pertaining to that house. It also showcases success and victory depending on the house signification. Eg for a Leo Lagna, Virgo happens to be the 2nd bhava. There will always be lot of jealousy and competition on these people with regard to money matters. For a Sagittarius Lagna native, Virgo is the 10th house and there will always be some fights and bickering with regard to their professional matters. They may eventually succeed in the work place but they have to encounter jealousy and accept matters spoken behind their back.

Thula/Libra:
Whichever house comes as Libra, they would need to give up something in order to obtain something else. It is the house of exchange or choices and explicitly has a give and take equation associated. The house which appears as Libra, that will also grant an experience to the native and they can also win contacts and influence pertaining to the house signification. Eg for Capricorn Lagna, Libra happens to be 10th bhava. These people can get life partner through the means of work or once they start working in a company. For Aries Lagna, Libra is the 7th house. In order to get a benefit from a spouse, one must be willing to leave something in order to get the desired benefit.

Vrischika/Scorpio:
Scorpio as a house can lure and provoke you to commit a mistake with respect to its house signification, hence one needs to be very careful about it. It will show you the way but end up spoiling and affecting you. Eg for a Pisces Lagna - Scorpio is 9th bhava. The father may ask you to do something in order to enjoy common benefits but it can backfire and end up misfiring. Similarly for a Taurus Lagna native, an advise from the spouse may seemingly be good but can end up misleading.

Dhanus/Sagittarius:
Sagittarius as a house can indicate transformations taking place with respect to house significations. It shows potential and leads one to go ahead when the chance is tapped. Eg for a Gemini Lagna,  Sagittarius happens to be the 7th house. The marriage of the native can signify some major transformations taking place in their lives. Likewise for a Leo Lagna, life can undergo a total transformational shift with the birth of child.

Makara/Capricorn:
Whichever house comes as Capricorn, there will always be plenty of work pertaining to that house signification. Work flow will be unceasing and virtually never ending. It however also shows development in work pertaining to that area. Eg for a Leo Lagna, Capricorn happens to be the 6th house of service. These people will always be having lots of work in their job which can also give them development. For Gemini Lagna, Capricorn is the 8th house and denotes occult and secretive matters. These natives would always be in the search for the unknown and will work much towards those areas.

Kumbha/Aquarius:
Aquarius connotes unknown treasures. It also means desires getting fulfilled being the natural 11th house of the zodiac. Aquarius also denotes a somewhat detached avatar. Eg for a Taurus Lagna, Aquarius happens to be the 10th house. Whenever these natives do their profession properly, they will be able to obtain the required desires and get more than what they wish. For a Libra Lagna, they will be able to get maximum benefits from their children but they can be bit disconnected and uninvolved in their attitude. 

Meena/Pisces:
Whichever house comes as Pisces, losses tends to take place and expenditures gets incurred based on the house significations. But however good things also tend to happen and important information gets divulged based on the house. Eg for Virgo Lagna, Pisces happens to be the 7th bhava denoting spouse, business partners etc. These natives get lot of information on travel, business dealings, foreign articles but at the same time expenditure also will come through them. Eg for Cancer Lagna, Pisces happens to be the 9th bhava. These natives get lot of information from father on religious matters, spiritual pursuits but at the same time losses can also occur through this.

Illustration using DNA Astrology
Lets say someone needs to know the planetary connection of their spouse based on Karmic connectivity as per one's birth chart. Since it is pertaining to matters of spouse, we need to study the connectivity relating to 7th house from both Lagna and Moon.

As an example, let's presume that the person is born in the Lagna of Kumbha Rasi placed in the Nakshatra of Satabisha and Moon Nakshatra is placed in Mithuna Rasi in Aarudra. Hence we have:
Lagna Nakshatra : Satabisha
Moon Nakshatra : Aarudra

- Analysis of Spouse Chart from Native based on Lagna Nakshatra and Moon Nakshatra:
Since this matter pertains to marriage, we need to observe the karmic link associated in the 7th sign from both Lagna and Moon Nakshatra. Through this we would be able to decipher the Nakshatras, Planet combination, Sign placement and House relation of the spouse

- Nakshatra Karma Analysis:
We know Lagna Nakshatra of native is Satabisha. Taking straight opposite 180 degrees from Satabisha corresponds to Magha and Poorva Phalguni Nakshatra which in simple terms is to say Satabisha 1 & 2 padas opposite point will be Magha 3 & 4 padas and Satabisha 3 & 4 padas will pinpoint to Poorva Phalguni 1 & 2 padas. If we know the exact pada of the Lagna, we can directly specify but in general it is better to take the whole Nakshatra because due to house cusp, the exact 7th place can end up being placed little ahead or behind.

Similarly exact 180 degrees placement from Aarudra Nakshatra will occur in Dhanus Rasi under the Nakshatras of Moola and Poorva Ashada. Arudra 1 & 2 pada will link to Moola 3 & 4 and Arudra 3 & 4 pada will link to Poorva Ashada 1 & 2.

Hence the 4 Nakshatras obtained are Magha, Poorva Phalguni, Moola and Poorva Ashada. We know that Poorva Phalguni are attracted by Mars Karma, Magha with Moon Karma and Poorva Ashada with Mercury Karma. Hence lets list the karmic Nakshatras associated with these planets
Moon DNA Karma - Magha
Mars DNA Karma - Poorva Phalguni, Moola
Mercury DNA Karma - Poorva Ashada

Now, we can broadly say that the spouse of this person will have Nakshatra association of Moon, Mars and Mercury. Based on this we can delineate the planet, sign and house karma

- Planet Karma Analysis:
We know that Moon is associated with both Venus & Rahu Karma whereas Mars possesses Saturn Karma. Mercury is however not subject to any planetary karma. Lets list the karmic planets associated with these planets
Moon DNA Karma - Rahu, Venus
Mars DNA Karma - Saturn
Mercury DNA Karma - None

- Sign Karma Analysis:
We know Moon is having karmic connection with the signs of Virgo and Libra, Mars with the sign of Aquarius and Mercury with the sign of Cancer. Lets list the karmic signs associated with these planets
Moon DNA Karma - Virgo, Libra
Mars DNA Karma - Aquarius
Mercury DNA Karma - Cancer

- House Karma Analysis:
We know Moon is having karmic connection with the 6th & 7th house, Mars with 11th house and Mercury with 4th house . Lets list the karmic houses associated with these planets
Moon DNA Karma - 6th house, 7th house
Mars DNA Karma - 11th house
Mercury DNA Karma - 4th house

- Placement of Spouse Chart:
Based on the analysis of DNA connectivity of Nakshatra, Planet, Sign and House, let's look at the different placement and combinations that can be witnessed in the spouse chart

- Nakshatra Karma Placement:
We figured that the spouses Nakshatra is connected through Moon, Mars or Mercury DNA Karma. This could mean the spouses Lagna Nakshatra or Lagna Lord Nakshatra or Moon Nakshatra or combination of them will be placed only in the following 11 Nakshatras viz:
- Moon DNA : Bharani, Magha, Jyeshta, Uttara Bhadrapada
- Mars DNA :  Krithika, Poorva Phalguni, Moola, Revathi
- Mercury DNA : Rohini, Uthira Phalguni, Poorva Ashada

- Planet Karma Placement:
We discovered that Moon, Mars and Mercury DNA Karma are linked with the planets Venus, Rahu and Saturn. This could mean either of Saturn, Venus or Rahu can have association with the Lagna or Lagna Adipathi in the spouses chart. Different kind of combinations that can occur are as follows
- Either of Saturn, Venus or Rahu placed in Lagna
- Lagna Lord conjunct along with Saturn, Venus or Rahu
- Lagna Lord could also be placed in the star of either Saturn, Venus or Rahu
- Lagna Lord can form a connection with Saturn, Venus or Rahu through Aspect

- Sign Karma Placement:
We found that the signs linked to Moon, Mars and Mercury happen to be Virgo, Libra, Aquarius and Cancer. This could mean the Lagna of spouse will be in someway linked with Virgo, Libra, Aquarius or Cancer. Different kind of combinations that can occur are as follows:
- Ascendant will be either of Virgo, Libra, Aquarius or Cancer
- Ascendant Lord could be placed in either of Virgo, Libra, Aquarius or Cancer
- Lord of Virgo, Libra, Aquarius or Cancer can be connected with Lagna or Lagna Lord in someway pertaining to placement, aspect, conjunction

- House Karma Placement:
We found that the houses linked to Moon, Mars and Mercury happen to be 6th, 7th, 11th and 4th house. This could mean the Ascendant of spouse will be in someway linked to the houses of 6th, 7th, 11th and 4th. Different kind of combinations that can occur are as follows:
- Ascendant Lord will be placed in 6th, 7th, 11th or 4th house
- Lords of 6th, 7th, 11th or 4th house will be placed in the Ascendant
- Lords of 6th, 7th, 11th or 4th house can be connected with Lagna or Lagna Lord in someway pertaining to placement, aspect, conjunction

Note:
Like the example of spouse above, on similar lines the planetary combinations of other relatives also can be figured out through DNA such as studying the 4th for mother and deriving on the combination of Nakshatras, Planets, Signs and Houses. Likewise 9th for Father, 5th for 1st child etc. Even on one's profession seeing which planets have strong DNA connectivity to the bhava of profession can signify taking something along those lines. As an illustration to see if someone can be strongly in a Moon based profession such as Catering, Milk etc clues can be got if 10th house is strongly influenced by Venus or Rahu as they showcase the Karma of Moon. Likewise 10th Lord being placed in the Nakshatras of Bharani, Magha, Jyeshta, Uthara Bhadrapada is also an indication. Similarly 10th Lord being associated with 6th and 7th houses or with the signs of Virgo & Libra can also connote a profession with a strong Moon connection. 

Criticism
The first obvious limitation of this concept of DNA Astrology is that it is not based on prediction. Astrology itself branches out as a predictive study and to be slotted under the name of astrology and not providing for predictions is a question to ponder over though it clearly maintains its stance as more of a guiding tool. Secondly there is no sage backing or any scriptures which talk about this karma infused concept of astrology. In fact there is no book or even an article written anywhere on the genesis of DNA Astrology. All we have right now are various videos on youtube but it is uncluttered and there is no streamlined method of learning this subject. Thirdly a few concepts are a bit questionable, the one who has made this concept famous stresses on the fact that for all male births the D9 Lagna should fall in odd sign and female births should be in even signs. Now with billions of birth every other day, expecting that males and females will be uniformly born 12-13 minutes apart seems a little too far stretched. In fact this concept is adopted by quite a few astrologers but there is no real logic if you think of it practically. Also the stars as per DNA Karma are assigned to planets which is different from the star lord concept and this secret is believed to have been provided by one enlightened soul. However there is no way to verify the same. Even the birth star concept differs across different texts. For instance 'Vichitra Jothidam' may state that Jupiter was born in Pushya but Brahmanda Purana actually states it being born in Poorva Phalguni. There are few other differences also when it comes to birth stars of other planets. This can cause a huge shift to the system because the framework of the concept depends a lot on the birth star through which Karma planet is derived. Even in Moola Trikona concept, there are differences of opinion. In DNA Astrology, it is opined that Rahu and Ketu have their Moola Trikona sign in Virgo and Pisces respectively but the sacred Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra hints at Gemini and Sagittarius being the Moola Trikona signs of Rahu and Ketu respectively. Additionally Ketu not being provided DNA Karma link from the stars is again a point to consider. Also Venus & Mercury don't have a Karma link associated with other planets and just based on a factor like observation they have been slotted to provide karma to the 3rd and 4th houses respectively. Jupiter on the other hand is having the karmic connectivity of 3 planets viz Sun, Moon and Mars. The problem with all this is there is no solid proof. However there is no denying that the system is evolving and more people are inclined to have their charts checked through the mechanism of DNA Astrology to know about the strengths and potential based on horoscopic positions. However some of the apparent limitations should also be kept in mind. This is not a criticism but just a highlight of where there can be some issues prevailing in the underlying system of DNA Astrology.

Conclusion
DNA Astrology is a guidance based astrology system. It more or less lays a path by studying various patterns in our chart based on our past birth and corresponding events related to the same. As per this scheme, there is a connection behind every birth as a hereditary relationship and a basis behind why an individual is born to a particular set of parents and it is all linked through planetary correlation. It however does not provide any solution or future prediction. It can basically be seen as a prognosis through which we can understand ourselves and acting as a guide in providing a direction as per what is inferred from the horoscope. It is a pattern based study in the form of a horoscope drawn out from our family history karma that provides an understanding to help dealing with matters in the ensuing period.
