Shri Chandrakant R. Bhatt B.A.LL.B. is a zealous research student
of Astrology. He has written several books on Astrology. Origill:1l1y
he was an advocate of Sayana system of Astrology popularly
known as Western system, Some seven years back during his
frequent visits to me, we had a good deal of discussion about the
heauties and accuracy of Nirayana system of Astrology or Indian
Astrology. He gradually turned his attention to the study of
Nirayaml system of Astrology and to- day he has become an ardent
advocate o f Hindu Astrology.
'Nakshatra Chimamani' is his further contribution in the field
of Astrology. Nakshatras (Constellations) play important role in tho;:
lield of, not only predictive side of Astrology but also in all the
rdigious ceremonies of the Hindus.
The Vimshotlllry Dasha system in timing events advocated by
the great Parashar is based on constellation and its sub divisions.
For perfectly judging the strength or weakness of a house and its
lord the Astrologer has to take into consideration the sign and the
constellation and its sub division, for then only he can evaluate the
physical (Sthula), the astral (Sukshma) and Casual (Karan) strength
and weakness of the sign and its lord. Thus the 12 signs of the
Zodiac arc divided into 249 divisions of the 27 constellations. The
(:ffec! of any planet can be judged well if we know the placement
in tf horoscope, of the lord of the house, the lord of the
~
and the lord of the sub division of the constellation
conste~'ation
it is placed in. Thus a planet is controlled by the lord of the sign,
the lord of the constellation and the lord of the sub division of
the constellation. For the last thousand years or more the Northern
part of India was constantly invaded by the invaders from Central
Asia. Greal centres of learning in the North were plundered and
valuable literatures were reduced to ashes. Fortunately the remote
Southern part of India was saved from the plunders of these
invaders and the families of the great scholars of the South
preserved the rich heritage of knowledge including knowledge of
Astrology propounded by great Rishes of India.

Preface
There is ample literature published on Hindu Astrology
depicting various sy$tems of prediction by learned Astrologe rs. Bllt
every student of Astrology has his own likes and dislikes, he
therefore follows the predictive system of his choice. Each system
of prediction has own pecul iarity and merits too. So far as [
il~
am com:crncd, [ li ked the sub dL'position theory of prediction in
the Nakshatra disposilor system of Astrology. Acco rdingly I have
selected some typica l birth horoscopes and example horary maps
on different important topks of life as experienced and observed
hy me and I hllve in this book made an humble atlempt to
discus~
these horoscopes on the practical application of this sub disposition
theo ry of prediction, for the knowledge of the reader who desire!'
to know ahout it.
2. This boo k is meant for the reader who is conversa nt with
the basic principles of Hindu Astrology. It is expectt:d that tht:
reader should know how to make use of Raphael"s Tables of
and Ephemerides. He should posseo;s the knowledge of
HOll~es

3 (a) The origi nal Hindu method is what is known as the
equal house division. The sign ascending is the first hOllse and any
planct therein i. . said to be in the fi rst house. The sign next to
the sign will constilute the second house and any planet
aseendin~
therein wil1 be said to be in the 2nd house and so on. This is the
principle foll owed by the old Hindu Astrologers. Thus the sign and the
house werc deemed synonymous.
(b) (n \Vestern Astrology cusp of a hou!'c is the
Ih~
commencing point a nd the first house is constituted hy space
covering about heyond the cusp: but in Hindu Astrology the
~O'
cusp is the mid point or the centre of the hOtlSe and extends tn
on either
( 5~ sict~.
v
(e) In this book first of all you have to ereCl a horoscope
according to the Western (Sayana) system with the aid of Raphad's
Tables of Ho uses and Ephemeris. Then YOLt have to deduct
ayanamsa for the required year from Sayana positions of the
("IISI'S
and planets: and you will gcl Ni rayana positions of lhe cusps and
planets. You should write the cusps and in the manner of
~'Ianets
a Western Horoscope. For the purposes of this book the cusp of a
house is to be considered the commencing point.
a~
FurtlIer it may he remcmb<:red lhat the question of ayan amsa
is a controversial suhject. but for the subject maller of this book
ayanamsa ado pted for each A. D. year is given on page 168.
(d) In the Western system it is usua l to write down signs
Ulld
degrees on the cusps of the houses in a circular blank map a nd
to place the planets in the map in their correct positions. For the
of this boo k and for the sa ke of convenience L have made
pLLrpose~
a device to write till: horoscope in the form of a ladder by drawing
one verticle line in the middle and five horizont:!] lines intersecting
Ihe verticle line. The ends of Ihe verticle line and the ends of th.::
horizontal lines will serve the cusps of houses and the !'igns

have been wrineR thereon the planets hav: been wrilen either
~ l1d
helow or a bove the cuspal sign as the case may be.
4. The Zodiac of 360' is divided into 27 Nakshatras or
Constellations or Stnrs for the purpose of Astrology. Each Nakshatra
contains 13" 20'. It begins from 00 Aries. It is subdivided into 9
parts totalling 243 lind eaeh sub division is known as Sub
Nakshatra or Sub Constellation or Sub Star or Sub. So each degree
and minute of tile Zodiac is jointly ruled by three planets
out (If which one becomes the sign lord, the other is the star
lord Hnd the third is the sub lord .
The sum and substance of the sub disposition theory of
prediction is that the cuspal sub lord of a IlOuse indicates whether
tile matter signified by the Ilouse is promised or denied. If the
cuspal sub lord promises. then only during joint pe riod of
Ih~ th~
significators of that matter the of that matter are experienced:

otherwise not.
The significator planet alwa ys gives the results of the house

h:arnt by exoperience and observation. The marc you the
ob~ervc
marc is the scope for modification. The main object of thig book
is to make this system of prediction easily accessible to every
student of Astrology who only ponesses workable knowledge of
the English language. So the language used is simple and lucid.
This book is only illustrative and not exhaustive. Lovers of
Astrology in different regions of the COUlltry may publish this book in
their own regional language for the b::ne!lt of the student world of
Astrology if they so desire: and thi!Y would he rendering services in the
cause of the wide sprcad of this Nakshatra system of Astrology.
7. My friend ShTi S. M. Patel made me switch over to this
Naksllatra sy;;tem of Astrology. He constantly inspired me to write
this book in English. He moved the board of Trustees of Shri
Vivek Education Trust to bring out this publication and to give me
patronage. I therefore 0\\1,: a J::ep debt of gratilud:: to thc::n all.
I hope all my readers will enjoy this book.
