In Vedic Astrology harmonious and inharmonious aspects among the planets depend upon their natural significations and their basic characters. Planets of contrary characteristics usually display inharmony when in aspect. However the lordships of planets have a great say in moulding the planets considerably, when in aspect. This change in nature and characteristics is particularly noticeable during their Dasas and Bhuktis. Thus we see that in Vedic Astrology the results of aspects of planets depend upon their natural characteristics and lordships. In Western Astrology, it is'the angle between the planets that decides harmonious or inharmonious aspects. The planets at 90 or 120° apart are supposed to be in harmony or create a harmonious aspect, tend to enhance each other's good significations, modify and retard the bad significations. If the angle is 90° or 180° or placed in 6th/ 8th to each other, then they are said to be in inharmonious aspects. They tend to irritate and block each other's significations. They give bad results for the houses they are posited in and for the houses ruled by them. We propose to discuss here the harmonious and inharmonious aspects between the sets of two planets in a general sense. These aspects are pliable for various horoscopes according to lordships and natural characteristics of planets involved and other aspects to these planets.

"This book presents the ancient Hindu astrology in its occult and esoteric aspects. Traditional practitioners often failed to defend the veracity of the subject and dispel the scepticism of modern intellectuals. The ancient revelations have been restated here to meet contemporary requirements. The ancient seers presented Vedic Astrology under various assumptions and in allegorical and symbolic languages.

Apart from the general approach to this ancient science, the study presents in depth the astrological description of the nature of man. It also provides deeper implications of various planetary combinations. Advanced practitioners as well as general readers will find the book informative, illuminating and highly rewarding.

With my experience in astrology from many decades in this book I am going to describe SUN JUPITER AND SATURN in different sign in navamsas with aspects from different planets on them. Every planet in navamsa gives different results with respect to aspect by different planets. I am expecting every reader might love this Book. Regards, Saket Shah
