This is the second article by me and all my articles are based on the practical happenings of one's life.
Normally the future predictions in astrology are based on planetary disposition in the individuals chart. The basic fundamentals of predictions are in all cases are made as  given by our ancient texts. But it has been my experienec for over 30 years that these predictions either miserably fail and/ or partially it happens. I thought it fit to conduct a research on more than 10000 horoscopes, to find out what was the predictions and what happened to the native?.

To my surprise I found that reasons for failures are due to overlooking certian fundamentals. The failures pointed to the fact that planets strength are determined blindly than its reality in the chart. To understand this point, I would like to explain as follows:

Planets looking to be in exaltation /ruling should not be construed to be powerful/beneficial etc., and its powers are controlled by disposition of 4th/5th,9th/10th house lords/planets located therein. The reasons for the above are that unless the individuals 5th /9th houses and its lords / planets occupy the same are assessed, there is no point in looking at other houses/planets.

The fundamentals of my approach to astrology are based on the fact that unless the 5th house/9th house ( houses indicating what kind of life he/she will have in this generation), are beneficial other planets do not get any beneficial powers in the chart. These houses represent the good deeds/bad deeds received from mothers family (4th house), fathers family (9th house). Unless these two sides bless the individual, there will be no beneficial effects for the natives. Also by assessing these houses, a good astrologer can easily find out as to what the forefathers have done. All their good deeds/ misdeeds are visible when deeep analysis are made.

I would like to present case histories in my articles in future for the benefit of visitors and I welcome reactions, views on my article.
