What should be done if all the planets are in enemy signs?
It shows disturbed karma from a past life, and the chart is a graph of karma, so do good deeds now. Strengthen Jupiter, the most powerful planet, through dharma, spirituality, devotion, mantra jaap and sadhana, and keep a kalash in the North-East; the enemy planets slowly start turning friendly.
Is Gajkesari yoga formed when a debilitated Moon is with Jupiter?
Gajkesari yoga forms when the Moon and Jupiter are together or opposite each other, but with a debilitated Moon its prosperity does not fully arrive, like a child born in a wealthy home who still does not progress much.
If the chart has Gajkesari yoga, which direction should be in good order?
The ishaan (North-East) should be correct, along with the North and the East.
Can all the doors and windows of the house be made of steel?
Yes, if Saturn is exalted in your chart. The same thing that harms one person can benefit another.
What is the difference between a birth chart and a name chart?
The birth chart is accurate; the name chart is only an estimate. Billions of people are divided among just 12 signs, and results depend on where each planet sits and with whom, which only the birth chart shows.
If the Sun is exalted in the 10th house, should the South also be improved, or should Sun items go only in the East?
Sun items go in the East, but they can also go in the directions of the friends of the Sun; one colour or one showpiece is not restricted to one place. That is why the colour combinations of friend planets were given.
If a planet's colour (for example Mercury's) cannot be used in its zone, can the colours of its friends or of the zone element's friends be used?
First see what Mercury is in your chart (exalted, bhagyesh or lagnesh, which supports health) and where it sits. If its own colour cannot be used in that zone, use the colours of Mercury's friends, and the colours of the friends of that zone's element must also be taken.
Saturn and Venus are in my 8th house in sign 8 (Scorpio); can I open a West door?
Saturn in the 8th is not bad. Here Saturn sits in a sign of Mars, and Mars with Saturn forbids the South, but the West door can be opened. Send the kundli for a closer look before opening it.
As an interior designer, clients choose their own colours and I cannot check their planets; should I give a remedy or try to convince them?
Do not try to convince anyone. People mostly like the colours that match their own planets. If a client chooses an anti-element colour and their kundli allows it, never stop them; it will bring them benefit.
My west-facing house has a lot of grey and it now feels irritating; what should I do?
With Saturn and Rahu in the 8th house in sign 8 (Rahu debilitated), grey should not have been used. Change the wall colour of the largest carpet area; the furniture need not change. Off-white walls are fine, so no need to worry about them.
My Mercury is debilitated in the 4th house with an exalted Venus; will plants in the North cause a problem?
No problem at all. Flowering plants represent Mercury, so keeping them in the North strengthens a weak Mercury. Keep up good work such as paying for poor children's education and sharing knowledge.
My house entry is in the SSW and my 10th house has Sun, Mercury, Moon and Ketu with an exalted Venus; can I move the entry to the South-East?
If you open the South, open it in the good South pada (S4 as heard), and if you open the West, in the good West pada (W4 as heard). The present South-West entry should be corrected with door power.
Can a Sun picture be put in its direction when the Sun is in a kendra (7th house) with low degrees?
Jupiter is at 0 degrees in my chart and Rahu is in the 12th at 0 degrees; what should I do?
Chant the beej mantra of Jupiter (the beej mantras were shared in the group); it is the simplest method. Do Rahu's beej mantra too; Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets, so when Rahu is treated Ketu is treated as well.
