strology is the only science,


which gives guidelines not only
to human beings, but also for any
establishment
[company,
institute,
country, weather forecast, living or non
living things, etc] through different
branches of Astrology. Here I am giving an
example of our beloved society, Jyotish
Bharati [Bombay Astrological Society]
which was established by a well known
astrologer Late Shri Jivanrao T Chitnis.
He established the Bombay Astrological
Society on 18th Dec 1892 at 12 Noon
[LMT] in Mumbai. His aim was to spread
the knowledge of the astrology by way of
coaching interested students. This article
will discuss the combinations and other
peculiarities in the chart of this institute,
which lead to its continued growth from
1892 to 2012. As a beacon of light imparting
knowledge in astrology the institute
completes 120 years of its establishment.
Our hope is that it reaches greater heights
and achieves its goal for which it was
established.

I have discussed the chart below as per Tropical system as the Late Shri Jivanrao T Chitnis
was a follower of Sayan system.

First house indicate the institute and 10th house indicate the management or person who is
taking care of the institute.
1] Ascendant: Pisces sign rising in its own Navamsh [Vargotamma]. Pisces sign itself
indicates ocean [depth]. Lord of Ascendant is Jupiter [knowledge] and part ruler Neptune
[depth]. Intercepted sign of the Ascendant. This also indicates the hidden capacity or
strength of Ascendant, due to the full enthusiasm and optimism of planet Jupiter in it.
2] Ascendant Lord: Jupiter [knowledge] rising in Ascendant in intercepted sign Aries,
indicates depth and hidden capacity to spread knowledge, with its full capacity [fiery sign].
Jupiter also in the Navamsh is at trine from its natal placement which is a good sign. It is in
6th cusp sign of Navamsh chart. Jupiter is in trine with Moon [Mind of students (lord of 5th)]
in 9th house [higher education]. Jupiter is also in trine with retrograde Mercury [education or
intelligence] in 9th house [studies]. Jupiter faces opposition of an exalted Saturn from 7th
house from itself of the intercepted sign and indicates support for the institute from society
and patrons alike.
Other part ruler Neptune is in an airy sign in the 3rd house, is retrograde and with retrograde
Pluto indicates that, decisions relating to management of the institute are in flux. This
suggests the lack of experienced professionals to guide the management. However, the
institute has always great support and help from outside due to the characteristics of an
intercepted Saturn with Jupiter. [For Example: Shri Y K Pradhan, Shri Kanyalal .M. Munshi,
Shri Amritlal Seth, Mahamohpadhyay, Shri J H Dave, Shri Gopalkrishna Modi, Shri Jinhabhai Lad
and Dr Shri Dinesh Daftary].
3] M.C: on the 10th cusp, Sagittarius sign is rising, and it is a plus point that, same sign is also
rising on 9th cusp. It indicates the good intention of Late Shri Jivanrao T Chitnis, who had
established this institute to spread the knowledge in the form of education to interested
people. One more confirmation is that, Ascendant ruler and lord of 9th and 10th cusp is in the
same house [Jupiter (knowledge)]. [M.C Parallel Sun].
4] Sun: Sun is on the cusp of the 10th, indicating the moral values and Status. Slowly it has
been progressing, decade after decade, due to its placement in the dual sign of Jupiter and it is
in a Vargotamma Navmash. Sun is a lord of 6th indicates that this institute is also getting
support from the Government, and other charitable institutions. Sun is in square with Mars,
which is in the 12th house as a lord of 1st [intercepted sign in Ascendant] and 8th houses
indicates that, management has to be very cautious while considering expansion through
constructing a new building or merging with other institutions. Otherwise it will lose its
identity. Similar indications are seen from lord of 2nd and 7th [intercepted ruler] Venus is in
8th and trine with Mars in 12th house. Mars is parallel with Saturn [12th & 7th].

5] Moon: Moon is a karak of mind, and as lord of 5th house [students] is with Mercury
[education] in the 9th house [indicates a house of teaching]. This Moon is in trine aspect
with Jupiter [lord of 1st, 9th and 10th, karak for knowledge and Guru] indicates clear mind and
intention of spreading the knowledge with experience [sextile with Saturn ]. Moon is in Leo
Navamsh and conjoins Jupiter and retrograde Mercury. Additionally Moon is in same
triplicate element with Sun, and Neptune which indicates capable and trustworthy students
will come forward to lead the institute further in future. [Till today, the institutes faculty is
always appointed from the students who graduated from the institute]. Student signify
Moon in the 9th house with Sun and Mercury and is in trine with Jupiter, in sextile with
exalted Saturn indicates that students will spread the knowledge, with new experienced
concept at national, and international level.
Mars is in 12th house as a lord of 8th and 1st, indicates problem regarding regular publications.
Similar indication are observed from the placement of retrograde Pluto and Neptune in 3rd
house. [Mercury contra parallel Neptune].
From above discussion of the establishment chart, it indicates that, Late Shri Jivanrao T
Chitnis had selected such a prosperous time from his vide experience knowledge and by using
election astrology, that even after lapse of 120 years of establishment, the institute is
progressing in a right direction. As per Vedic astrology Vijay Muhurat was running at the
time of establishment of the institution.

Major Events in History of the Institute


As per ODM progression and Paribhraman Paddhatti, following events are discussed briefly.
1] Death of Shri Jivanrao T Chitnis 1909.
In 1908, institute had completed 16 yrs. Sun squares Saturn [separating], Jupiter in
Ascendant, 9th and 10th lord was in opposition with 8th cusp [applying]. Mars quincunx with
Uranus in 8th house. In Paribhraman Paddhatti 5th house becomes Ascendant [house of
change]. Jupiter was in 4th house [end of life in a original chart] and Sun was in 8th house.
2] Bombay Astrological Society affiliated with Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in 1944.
In 1943, institute had completed 51 yrs, Saturn conjunction 9 th house [ new formation+
support from 7th house ], Paribhraman Asc is 4th house [ House of Infrastructure ] Asc ,9th
and 10th lord Jupiter square with its own position. Mercury lord of Asc ruler for current year
was in 10th [7th for current year chart ] indicates some kind of agreement or affiliation with
some society, Saturn significator for infrastructure was in square with Mars [Radical it is in
12th], quincunx with Venus [radical it is 8th] indicate that to have a permanent infrastructure

and facility, change of its own identity & affiliation with supported society [Saturn and 7th
house ]

3] Bombay Astrological Society Merged with Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and changed its name
as a Jyotish Bharati in 1992.
In 1991, institute had completed 99 yrs, and 4th house was a Ascendant, Saturn conjunction
11th house [applying], Asc, 9th, 10th lord passing through 4th house [the years Ascendant] and
Jupiter becomes 10th and 7th, 6th lord indicates further expansion steps in front of the society.
The years Ascendant lord and karak for change of documentary planet Mercury conjunct
with Uranus in 8th house [Radical chart] is in 5th house [That year]. This shows the major
changes that took place where for the betterment of the institute.

Expected Events in a Near Future


The years 2018 and 2022 will be difficult for the institute. The chart shows the following
problems:
1] Some kind of mismanagement.
2] Some kind of wrong propaganda in the media, against the institute.
3] Exit of some senior members due to health and unexpected death will be a shock to the
institute.
So, present management has to take due care, regarding any new implications in coming
years due to trine position of planets. [Reading given as per above suggested system.]
In his chart, [Jivanrao T Chitnis] Ascendant, Neptune, Jupiter, Sun have played a major
role, for such kind of success, that even after his death the institute is running successfully
and he has proved himself and Astrology as a science.
We must salute the Late Shri Jivanrao T Chitnis, that he had really used his knowledge, and
established such an educational institute, which is running successfully from last 120 years.
