AstroSage is once again back with an interview of an expert astrologer. Today, we will talk to our expert astrologer ‘Rajeev K. Khattar’. A man with expertise in career counselling, education, financial astrology, medical astrology, marriage matching, Lal Kitab and a lot more. If you share interest in similar fields, then this article is exclusively for you.
How did you get interested in astrology initially? What made you come into the field of astrology as a profession?
I was good at mathematics, since my schooldays. I used to help a south Indian lady astrologer for the complex calculations involved in astrology. In 1980, the astrologer used to do calculations manually, as computers and astrology software were only dreams. While helping her, I used to hear her conversation with her clients like, “your Rahu is transiting through 12th house, which will not be good for you’’ and “worship Lord Hanuman to get rid of negative Mars in your horoscope’’. Also, I used to see her clients visiting again, touching her feet and gifting her sweets, flowers, etc. This used to amuse me a lot. Seeing my deep interest in the subject, she gave me initial lessons on the subject. She didn’t start the lessons on predictions until she made me learn characteristics of all the 27
Nakshatras (constellations) by heart. My sister taught me the basics of
numerology and
palmistry.
While in Engineering college, I developed interest in
Lal Kitab system of astrology. I used to see a copy of original Lal Kitab in my house left by my grandfather. However, I couldn’t understand it, as it was written in Urdu language. My father used to help me understand the meaning of various terms, as he knew the Urdu language.
I lost huge amount of money in a business venture with my partners and was debt ridden. In pursuit to know when I will be debt free, I learnt stellar astrology. To know how can I be debt free, I took the help of Lal Kitab remedies. After getting convinced myself about the efficacy of Lal Kitab remedies and accuracy of predicting the events by stellar system of astrology, I decided to become professional astrologer and left engineering .
What astrological system do you use and why?
For predicting the events, I use stellar system. I have found it very useful to predict even smallest events like, when will the friend arrive or when the current will be restored. It also helps in rectifying the birth time upto seconds accuracy.
For remedies, I rely on
mantra chanting and Lal Kitab. Since I have myself experienced their benefic results, so I mainly use these two.
For suggesting lucky gem to be worn, I use Anukool system, i.e. wearing the gem of the planet which is favourable through star lord as well as through sublord.
For stock market predictions, combined study of western planetary aspects and Sarvatobhadra Chakra yields good results .
Any incident related to astrology in your life or your prediction, which created impact and that you want to share with our readers?
One of my clients asked me in July 2010 about the fate of his investment in Suzlon Energy. He had bought the stocks of Suzlon Energy @ 90. At the time of asking the question, it was being traded at around 60 Rs. Business TV channels and business newspapers were suggesting to buy Suzlon Energy, as according to them, it had potential to go higher. My client was confused between buying more at lower rates and to book profits at a later stage or selling at lower rates and to book the smaller loss in order to avoid bigger loss. As per the stellar system, he gave me horary number 165 and I started working on it on 31st July 2010 at 14:01 Hr in Faridabad.
Since the question was about his investment and he had already spent the money, so I analysed the prospects of 12th house at the time of judgment. 12th cusp was under the sway of Saturn. Saturn was in virgo sign at 6-54-58 degrees. The star lord of
Saturn was
Sun (owner of 9th cusp placed in 8th cusp). Sun didn’t promise any profits. Further, on sublord level, Saturn was in the influence of
Mercury also. Mercury was placed in 9th cusp and lord of 8th and 10th cusps. This configuration also didn’t assure any profits. I advised my client to sell Suzlon Energy at current rates and book the loss. Very reluctantly he sold his stocks on 3rd August 2010 @ 56, but he was very happy to note that the rates went further down and down after that date. He thanked me for giving the correct advice and saving him from taking big losses.
What are your suggestions for budding astrologers or for those who’re interested in this subject?
I will suggest what Ms.Vijaya Raju suggested me – learn the characteristics of all the 27 Nakshatras by heart. Nakshatras are the basics. It is very essential to read the classical texts on Indian astrology and Puranas. In Shiva Purana, there is a chapter dedicated to the uses of
Rudrakshas. Knowledge of Puranas guides in suggesting suitable remedies to the sufferers.
Learn astrology properly from an experienced and knowledgeable astrologer, rather than trying to learn from roadside books.
After learning, analyse the horoscopes of your friends and relatives. don’t keep analysing your own horoscope, as it won’t help in learning.
Make a database of selected horoscopes like collection of the lawyers, the doctors, the divorcees and the sports persons, etc. This helps in finding common planetary position amongst the same set of data.
Last but not the least, practicing meditation daily shouldn’t be ignored.
According to you, which are the best astrology books that one should read?
In my opinion, the following books must be read by the students of astrology:
- Saravali by Kalyan Varma
- Bhavartha Ratnagar by Ramanujacharya
- Bhrigu Sutram by Bhrigu Rishi
- Brhat samhita by Varahamihira and
- Brihat Jataka by Varahamihira
- Nakshatra Chintamani by Bhatt
