Relationships or Sambandh in Vedic astrology and difference between aspect and relation.

 Relationships or Sambandh is an important factor that most ignore while evaluating the horoscope. The difference between aspect and relation or Sambandh is that aspect is an influence while the relationship is a mutual influence that the related planets exert on each other.

Sage Prashara has Maintained that there are four kinds of Sambandh
1)Mutual exchange
2)Mutual aspect
3)Conjunction
4) The Depositor aspects the other planet sitting in its own house.
Mantereshwar the author of Phaldeepika describes 5 types of relations.
1)Conjunction
2)mutual exchange
3)Mutual aspect
The additional two relations as per Mantereshwar are
4) Kendra Sambandh- Planets are related if they are in 4,7,10 from each other
5) Trikona Sambandh- Planets are related if they are 5,9 from each other.
An aspect is an influence of the planet that casts an aspect on the other planet its intention is to control or manipulate the consequences.
A Sambandh or relationship is a mutual absorption of energies of planets here the planets influence each other.

Peace of Mind and astrology

 Peace of Mind and astrology, the 4th house and planet or planets in it give you an indication on the same as the 4th house is a kind of happiness index, along with lords of 3rd ( subconscious /illusions )and the 5th house which represents Punya karma, Mind, and wisdom( Uttara Kalamrit), the 6th,8th, and 12th house represents mental duress of some kind ( Uttar Kalamrit).

Lets us try to understand this through an example.
Consider Sagittarius ascendant, Saturn in 4th of 0 degrees, aspects the 6th,10th, and ascendant, Saturn is of separatist nature, the lesser dignity it represents the more malefic it is. Saturn is lord of 2nd and 3rd and it is the Significator of 6th,8th, and 12th, from 4th its aspect to 6th will enhance the qualities of 6th which include strife and mental agitation. The 5th house has the Moon, Rahu in it, the significator of the 5th, Jupiter is in the 8th and the lord of the 5th Mars is in the 9th under the impact of Rahu.
The native of Such placement normally does not find a stable peace of mind and may be opposed by all including close relatives, for whatever reasons there may be.
Note - The above analysis is Just an Indicator we cannot decide on an eventuality on the basis of a few planets and houses, we need to probe further and with diligence the impact and influences of the whole horoscope based on possibilities and probabilities it represents.

Rahu and Saturn (Shani)

 Rahu and Saturn together in house number 8 where the things are hidden and events sudden is a potent combination as it provides for lots of confusion and haze, Rahu operates on the mental plane, while the miseries that Saturn inflicts are both on physical and mental levels. Saturn represents the practical thinking approach in normal conditions, in the house of hidden things, occult, cremation ground, longevity, anxiety, insult, humiliation, and secrecy, Saturn here loses the gift of a practical approach here Rahu magnifies the mysterious nature of the house and it makes the practicality of Saturn quite subdued and defunct. The person may also have a bad experience related to the occult .lt.Lal Kitab mentions this combination ( Saturn+Rahu) as Mani on the head of the snake. Some people mention it as Shraapit dosh or the curse carried forward. The remedy by far would be to worship Shiva and Shakti both, Shiva because there is mention of the deity of Saturn as Rudra and for Rahu, we all know that deity is Durga Ji. Rahu is restless and ever-inquisitive it wants to explore and unravel Saturn is restrictive and orthodox it sticks to the traditions so the conflict in thought process is ever evident in such natives. Destiny is the carry forward of the past may it be the debit or credit balance. As regards remedies the name of the all-prevailing lord can help you keep the equilibrium of life in better shape, after its all mind, if your mind and thinking are less clouded you fare much better in tough times.
