Varshphal

The Varshphal chart is not an authentic concept of vedic astrology.
It actually has its roots in

Tajikistan from which the great Tajik Shastra originated of which the Varshphal is a part.
Tajik literally means Persian. When astrology grew out of India (thousands of years back) it
traveled to the central Asian countries. Infact, the Hindu families and the entire culture you
know today is not of Indian origin. In the early days of Vedic civilization, the expanse of
Vedic religions was much beyond the current Indian geography. If the stories be believed,
my own community of Shakaldwipi brahmins has Iranian roots. It is said that Shakaldwipis
were people in the Iranian region who were experts in Ayurveda and worshipers of Suryadev
(Sun God). When Krishna’s son Samba got leprosy due to the curse of Suryadev, he build a
Surya temple on the banks of the river chandrabhaga (chenab). No brahmin in the region
was willing to become a priest in the temple and hence Ugrasen advised Samba to go to
Shakdweepa and invite their priests to India. Samba then called on Garuda (Vishnu’s vehicle)
and fetched the brahmins from Shadweepa.
Similarly, there is a discussion in Bhavishya Puran where the Grandson of King Vikramaditya,
King Salivahara meets and pays obeisances to Jesus Christ who tells him about his mission
on earth.
The idea behind telling the two stories is that while the Varshphal is not a Parashari or Nadi
concept, it does not mean that it isn’t effective. As most of our rich past has had
contributions from other sources as well. Vedic astrology developed Tajik Shastra in central
Asia which again came back and became a part of Vedic astrology after a few centuries.
The one and only original book in astrology about Tajik shastra is the Tajikneelkanthi written
by the mysterious teacher known as Neelkanth some 600 years back. I don’t know if the
authentic book is in publication anymore, the one I have approximately half a century old.
So then, since it is a whole book I can obviously not cover it all in one go. But I’ll try to cover
the important points which can easily be used.
All methods of astrology have originated with a certain base. The base is the primary way of
judging the horoscope around which all the rules revolve. The Parashari system has the
houses as base. The KP system has the Vimshottari dasha division as base which gives us the
sub-lord and sub-sub lord which are the essential tools. Similarly, Satyacharya system has
the nakshatras as base.
The Tajik shastra, because it comes from a land which follows the solar calendar not the
lunar calendar, has the Sun’s position as base. The Sun is the key driver of life and all
matters of destiny are to be decided from the Sun’s position. Hence, the way of judgement
came to be due to Sun.
Each time, when the Sun completes one exact rotation, a fresh horoscope is to be made for
the person at that exact moment which would be relevant to the person for one year. When
the rotation is complete, another horoscope for the next year is made. Like, if you’re born
when Sun was exactly at 10 degree 5 minutes 2 second Aries, the horoscope made for that
exact moment at your place of birth/place of residence would be your varshphal chart for
one year.
The way to judge a varshphal chart is this:
1. The first most important is the varshadhipati or the Lord of the year.
2. Of utmost importance is the Muntha. Muntha is nothing but the marker of
progression of the ascendant or the indicator of Sudarshan Chakra Dasha as
described by Parashara. It moves by one sign each year from your lagna. If you’re
born as Aries lagna, in the next year the muntha will be in Taurus, then in Gemini
and so on.
3. The next most important is the lagna of the Varshphal chart and the dispositors of
Lagna and muntha.
4. Finally, the individual houses are important along with either the dasha or the
monthly and daily charts.
Now, each of the points are explained below.
Varshadhipati:
The Varshadhipati is chosen from between five different planets. These are:
1. Lord of the lagna in the original horoscope

2. Lord of the lagna in the varshphal horoscope
3. Lord of the sign in which Muntha is placed
4. For day birth, the lord of Sun’s sign, for night birth lord of the Moon’s sign
5. The tri-rashipati calculated for the Varshphal lagna as given in below table
The strongest among the five is the varshadhipati. If the varshadhipati is strong and
favorable in both the natal chart and the annual chart, the year is exceptionally good. If it is
weak in one and strong in the other, average. If weak in both, there are sufferings in that
year.
Muntha:
1. In 4, 6, 7, 8, 12 the muntha is said to be malefically disposed. In 9, 10, 11 it is

benefically disposed. In 1, 2, 3, 5 it is good for materialistic results.
2. If Muntha is aspected by benefics and devoid of malefic influences, it is considered
strong and gives good results. Likewise, if the dispositor of muntha is aspected by
benefics, it is good.
3. If a strong muntha is placed in a house, its significations increase in the year. If it is
weak in a house, its significations suffer. ‘
4. Muntha’s sign and its lord in the original horoscope give their results. For example,
if Muntha’s sign is ruled by Mars, Mars’ placement in the original horoscope will
give its result of that house.
5. Muntha’s association with a planet gives the karakattwa results of that planet in
the year.
The Varsha Lagna:
Similar in judgement to the above two rules. The horoscope is judged as is, based on the
rules of Vedic astrology and result for each aspect of life are calculated.
Other judgement criteria:

If the Varsha lagna is in a favorable house from the Natal lagna, the year is good.
Mudda Dasha:
The dasha used for Varshphala is the mudda dasha. Depending on the strength of the
planets and their placement, results are told. Similar to vimshottari dasha.
As for which is better, it simply depends on the knowledge of the astrologer. If you talk
about which one is easier, the Varshphal chart is easier to read if you just want a basic
overview of the year. Since you’re dealing with one year at a time, checking the position and
strength of the above mentioned points is enough to have an idea of the year which is a
pretty accurate summation of the year. Not much ups and downs happen in a year (in most
cases). If they do, there needs to be significant indications in the annual chart which can be
easily noted by even beginners.

Varshaphal chart or an Annual solar chart is another wonderful tool to have for any
Astrologer. There is a practice in this part of the world to know the event likely to happen in
a year. It is very useful in mundane Astrology too.
Typically an annual solar chart is prepared for the time the sun reaches the exact position in
degrees and minutes for the year in question to that of the natal position.
The dasa of annual solar chart is different i.e. tajika dasas and not vimshottari dasa.
There is no Ketu dasa but has lagna dasa instead.
Sun is considered to be benefic, the rest of the principles ...
