Sarvarth Chintamani is one of the most popular books on ancient astrology, specially on vedic astrology that describe everything all about planets, zodiac and constellation.

However, the most famous compendium Saravali on Indian astrology differs with the opinion described in Phaladeepika.

The book is widely studied among the South Indian astrologers as author Mantreswar is believed to be born in South India. Some are of opinion that Mantreswar was born in Tamil Nadu, while some others are of opinion that the prolific author had taken birth in Kerala.

The year of birth is still in the dark. Some says he was born in 13 century, while some believes he took birth in 16^th century.

Briht Jatakam

Almost everyone is aware of the fact that the astrological prediction can go in vain without Rahu and Ketu. However, the most popular compendium on Vedic astrology Brihat Jataka is an exception. This book has ignored the presence and prediction by Rahu and Ketu. The noted author Varah Mihir and minister during the reign of emperor Vikramaditya has ignored the prediction through the Rahu and Ketu.

The book Saravali is a monumental work by Kalyan Varma is as valuable as Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra, Jataka Parijat, Brihat Jataka, Sarvarth Chintamani and Uttara Kalamrita etc. From the verses of this compendium indicates that kalyan Varma had comprehensively studied and researched the books like Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra and works of Yavan and Varah Mihir as he might have felt the elaboration of these works are highly needed.

Uttara Kalamrita

You must have heard about Kalidasa the great poet and minister in the administration of emperor Vikramaditya. Uttara Kalamrita has been written by this great poet in the mediaeval history. However, authenticity of the writer Kalidasa is unclear. It is impossible to say if the monumental work has been done by the same Kalidasa who was the minister during the reign of Vikramaditya .

Uttara Kalamrita is one of the most popular books in the field of sidereal astrology. The key highlights of the book are as to how to calculate Gulika and Mandi.

There are different sorts of Raj yogas have been described comprehensively. The Viparita Raja yogas, fructification of yogas and cancellation of yogas have been widely explained. Muhurt astrology is also explained meticulously.

There are occasions when I have seen the client comes and says I don’t have the birth chart. There might be various reasons for not having a horoscope. Some of the reasons have been given here.

• The parents might not have written the date of birth and time of birth.
• The time of birth and date of birth might be wrong.
• The date of birth and time of birth has been guessed later which might be wrong.
• The horoscope got lost and no records available now.
• The date of birth is available, but, the time of birth is unknown.
• The horoscope got destroyed due to natural calamity such as flood, earthquake and cyclone etc.

The people generally come to meet an astrologer for not only the prediction but also remedial measure. Now, you don’t have horoscope which might be difficult to find remedial measures when you have lost your job, made losses in the business, dispute with the life partner and critical health issues.

In such a situation, it is difficult to prescribe gemstone as a remedial measure. As we know the gemstone might have negative effect unless recommended scientifically. Particularly, the Neelam (Blue Sapphire) and diamond is highly dangerous unless it is suitable.

However, you have a silver lining. The astrologer needs to ask few questions and the client should co-operate about the current time he is facing.

Though there is no horoscope, the planetary effect still there. Some astrologers do take help of alternate predictive technology such as palmistry and physiognomy.

Now, I would like to tell what to do when you don’t have a horoscope

When you are facing a bad time, there must be some bad planetary effects on you which we don’t know due to unavailability of the horoscope. However, the bad phase has a direct relation with the planetary combination and Dasa and Mahadasa.

When you have loss of money and wealth all of a sudden, suffer from asthma, you don’t save money, have skin disease, debt gets redoubled, loss hugely due to the wrong signature on a document, then the astrologer should understand that the native is running through the Mahadasa and Antardasha of Mercury.

Remedial measures for Mercury

If the elderly people gets angry with you again and again, suffering from rheumatic pain, faced muscular pain or you are being heavy, sleeplessness, no interest for study, dispute with wise Brahmin, suffered from jaundice, then the astrologer should conclude that the person is having bad Jupiter period.

Remedial measures for Jupiter – Use kesar paste on the forehead for 27 days starting from Thursday. You are likely to get rid of the bad effect of the Jupiter to some extent. However, if your situation is grave like loss of job, loss of children, loss of gold then chant Beej mantra for Jupiter. You will start getting the result almost instantly.

When you are confused, and getting afraid of situation even with small issues, lost faith with close friends, suffered from blood pressure, cold and cough is tough on you, mother falls ill, fear without any causes, no stability anywhere and you get angry easily, then it is an indication of negative moon. Either you have Moon Mahadasa and Antardasa or you may have badly placed moon in the birth chart.

Remedial measures for Moon

Keep fast on Monday and donate or feed Kheer made of milk and rice (Porridge). If you have been facing marital discord with wife or you lost respect and honor due to women, faced some unwanted result while doing some auspicious work, you are not as handsome as before, the people maintained distance with you, loss of vehicles, intimacy with low class women, dispute with in-laws and suffered from diabetes. Then you should understand that you have been suffering due to negative effect of the planet Venus.

Remedial measure for Venus 

Pray and worship Goddess Lakshmi, donate rice, sugar, silver to the wife of a Brahmin. Give dresses to the elder sister, use a bangle of 21 grams made of silver on Friday. If you are getting late to find a life partner, then you should float Jalebi in a river when you are going to see a bride. You can also donate bangles, vermilion to any married lady. This will surely reduce the negative effect of the Venus.

If you are getting bald, noise in the joints of the body, dispute with father, getting trapped in the police and court case, your soul gets unhappy, you become lazy then you should understand that you have bad phase of the planet Sun.

Remedial measures for Sun

In such bad situation, you should offer sweets to the Lord Surya during rising sun especially when Sun is red in color. Try to develop good relation with the father.
