We are born in this world with Prarabdh — past life karmas. No one can escape the result of deeds done in our past life.

How to check our Prarabdh? This is seen in the individual horoscope by the placement of planets in certain houses. As the birth takes place, the planetary position gets frozen, showing what you have brought into this world as your report card. This starts with the dasha sequence you get at birth.

A benefic dasha at birth gets you easy passage and is a good time for your parents, and vice versa.

Though Saturn rules our past life karmas, the other planets also carry their signature. Below is a short synopsis of the planets to read your own life pattern and relate it to your present life. We will start with the king of planets — Sun.

  • Sun: A good Sun gives high status, executive position, and birth in a rich family. A negative karmic Sun gives struggle, confrontation with authority, and a tough life in a low-status family.
  • Moon: If you treated your mother well in a past life, you receive a supportive mother, emotional fulfillment, love, and a glowing face. A bad Moon brings emotional instability and even psychiatric issues. Being good to your mother is extremely important.
  • Mars: Strong Mars gives a healthy body, courage, and relations with brothers. Often seen in army, navy, and police. Weak Mars gives weak muscles, unhealthy body, argumentativeness, and using force over logic.
  • Jupiter: A strong Jupiter gives knowledge, wealth, good teachers, and spiritual blessings. Misusing teachers in a past life results in lack of knowledge, spiritual poverty, and weak father–son relationship.
  • Mercury: Good Mercury gives high-quality education and intelligence. Weak Mercury brings poor memory, low grades, weak speech/writing, and high stress leading to nervous breakdowns.
  • Venus: Good karmas with women give luxury and comfort. Disrespecting women in past lives leads to betrayal by women and lack of comfort.
  • Saturn: Saturn carries karmic justice. It balances past and present life. It is emotionless and delivers justice during sade-sati, dhaiyya, or its dashas. No one escapes Saturn's results. Remedies: honesty, hard work, avoiding alcohol/gambling. Saturn approves all good and bad events before Jupiter blesses.
  • Rahu & Ketu: These are malefics. They work best in houses of Jupiter and Mercury, but become extremely negative in houses of Saturn and Mars, creating heavy karmas.
