To explain the method of prediction, I start with the
example of my own horoscope :
Dob : 13/12/1956
TOB : 23:10
POB : Delhi
Lagna is Leo. So the native can be identified by a
lion. The lion is bold by nature and has confidence to win over anyone. It
is normally passive and becomes active only when required. It does not
harm until disturbed. It normally has a robust health. It is aspected by
Saturn from 4th house, which makes the native hard working. The lord Sun
is placed in 4th house in Scorpio, a friend's house, but with Saturn and
Rahu, which are its enemies. It gives native health problems, like blood
pressure.
Now consider 2nd house. Dhanasthan or house of wealth
contains Jupiter, the Karaka for this house. It indicates native will
acquire wealth by own earnings. Jupiter in 2nd house also gives soft and
impressive voice. But there is aspect of Mars on 2nd house. So sometimes
words are lost while speaking. This aspect also gives a tendency that
people misunderstand or misinterpret his words. The lord Mercury is placed
in 5th house, so the native is a professional, who earns by his knowledge.
Look at 3rd house. Venus is there in 3rd house - its own house. Mars is
having 8th aspect on 3rd house. Also Moon has 7th aspect on this house. A
benefic planet in 3rd house gives younger sister and good relationship
with co-borns. Mars' aspect disturbs writing power and Moon's aspect gives
good throat and voice. It also gives lot of short journeys in life.
4th house, the house of comforts, has three malefic
planets - Rahu, Saturn and Sun, making the native restless at home. This
situation is further aggravated by the presence of 4th lord Mars in 8th
house. So many planets in 4th house ensures comforts at home, but the
malefics indicate one does not pay attention to home. It also indicates
bad health of mother. Saturn and Rahu indicate good education for the
native.
5th house contains Mercury in the house owned by
Jupiter. It is also in exchange Yoga with Jupiter from 2nd house. This
gives very good calculation power. It also ensures son to the native. This
also gives knowledge of astrology and computers to the native.
6th house is owned by Saturn and aspected by Jupiter
from 2nd house and Saturn from 4th house. 3rd aspect of Saturn gives
success over enemies and Jupiter ensures native has to do some work by
hand, like typing on computer.
7th house is not aspected by any planet and its lord
Saturn is placed in 4th house, which is 10th from 7th house. This gives
native a working wife. Saturn gives a wife with fair complexion belonging
to an orthodox family. It also indicates business partnerships that will
not be smooth.
8th house, the house of longevity, contains Mars in the
house of Jupiter, aspected by Jupiter itself. Presence of Mars indicates
many accidents in one's life, but Jupiter saves from all such accidents.
He will also be benefited from insurance. He will get property from his
parents. Mars in 8th gives medium longevity, but Jupiter stretches it.
9th house contains Moon, aspected by Venus, indicating
good luck for the native. The benefic planets in the house of religion
also make the native religious. He also undertakes long travel because of
these two planets.
The Karmasthana 10th house is occupied by Ketu and has
aspect of Jupiter from 2nd house and Sun and Saturn from 4th house.
Jupiter's aspect makes the native a businessman, Ketu brings him into
computers, Saturn associates him with industry and Sun ensures that he is
at the top of affairs in his business environment. 10th lord Venus in 3rd
house, the house of courage, further ensures business and indicates
courageous steps in his line of action.
11th house, the house of gains, has aspect of Mercury
and Mars. Since the house is ruled by Mercury and its lord is in 5th house
aspecting it, the native earns by intellect, but aspect of Mars from 8th
house reduces profits into losses too. So the over all success is not at
par with the work done by the native.
12th house is owned by Moon and since its lord is
placed in 9th house, it indicates that the native gains from far off land.
Export and import will give him gains. It also ensures many foreign tours
for the native.
This way we see that to analyze the horoscope we
interpret the house one by one, or interpret the house whose subject
matter we want to know. First we see what are the planets posited in that
house. Then see the aspects over these planets, or this house and then see
where the lord of the concerned house is placed and which are the planets
aspecting it. Proper amalgamation of the properties and a little practice
of linking things together gives you the best of prediction.

The special effects in the horoscope can be seen by
looking at the various Yogas formed in the horoscope. The powerful Yogas
take away the attention from other aspects and they become more effective
in life. For example, in this horoscope Jupiter and Mercury are in
exchange Yoga, that is, Jupiter is in the house of Mercury and Mercury in
the house of Jupiter. This exchange gives the native a strong liking for
calculation and astrology, since the exchange is between 2nd and 5th
houses. It increases the intelligence level and gives him a professional
career. Similarly Moon is pressed between Mars and Ketu from both the
sides, forming Durdhura Yoga, which gives native wealth, fame and power.
Absence of any strong Dhana Yoga makes him a man of
normal means.
Individually the Yogas sometimes reverse the effects of
the planets completely. More and more knowledge of Yogas makes a man
better and better astrologer.
In the next lesson we shall see how to time the events
in ones life by using Dasha and transits.
