Montu: What is a difference between Amsa and Avastha?

Amsa is widely used term and it can be referred to all Vargas (Divisional Charts). Jataka Tattwa provide information about the meaning. Amsa means part and refers usually to Navamsa Chakra which shows bhagya. Deeptadi Avastha (like Ucchavastha or Neechavastha) however can be checked in all Vargas and shows level of richness (status, money, popularity) & level of ideals. Other Avasthas show state associated with a Yoga which will be activated in particular Dasa (period).

Rushikesh: How to see black magic from chart?

Dheeraj: Should we see curses from Moon or Lagna?

Both Rasi Lagna and Moon Ascendent always work and can be seen regarding all doshas in the chart. But important fact must be mentioned: they show things from a different perspective. We can add also Arudha Lagna which is very important in this regard as it shows how it will hit You materially. When the tenth bhava from Moon is involved in a curse then one have problem with getting a job and support from friends and family regarding finances while if Trikonas to Moon are involved then it will afflict one’s mindset giving many depressions and sad times. Check the most malefic graha involved in curse and see how karakas of cursed bhavas are placed from it.

Swati: Could u please elaborate on conditions of cancellation of MKS?

Here comes three methods methods:
a) jagganath drekkana
b) see if karaka of bhava is in trikona (Lakshmi) to Surya or Lagna. (note : this can be also used in varga-chars with respect to karyabhava).
c) if graha is exalted then it can be only initially and native is rescued through Visnu blessings (exalted grahas are like Visnu)

[RRS] Could you help me with an analysis on MKS?

Places(sthana) where significators(karaka) are dying (maraka). There are few rules which are important to remember when dealing with marana karaka sthana. As its states it is related to avastha namely the person is feeling like dying in relation to bhavas lorded by the graha. Jataka Parijata says that to be full this graha must conjoin malefic. We see that when graha is strong then person get out from this state and often is very strong. Marana karaka sthana when related to malefics can destroy their bad traits and if this is lesson (when ak,amk or bk) then person is spiritual so You will see many adepts of spirituality with malefics are in this places. Marana karaka sthana is broad concept and can be used from karya bhava in divisionals, Arudha, from CK’s and from Lagnesh but the differences must be understood. For example if Jupiter is in third from A7 then romances(darapada) or buisness can give setbacks to things represented by Jupiter. When dealing with Charakaraka’s then see from which “souls” Your mahadasa is in that maraka-position. This aspect will suffer. Very important is bhava karaka and when it is in trikona (Sun representing dharma is trikona concept while Moon is kendra - support) to either Surya or Lagna then Graha is rescued by light of bhavakaraka. As light is needed we remedy this position through Gem of bhavakaraka or through Surya worship. However Gem advise must be seen from many other points especially Arudhapada. I was taught also that this is not so problematic when MKS is not in Jagganath Drekkana (2 Varga’s-Parijataamsa, 3 Varga-Uttamaamsa).
