Varsha Pravesh, Varshaphal and Muntha effects.

Varsha Pravesh or Varshaphal and Muntha system of horoscopy are originally Arabian concepts which might have come to India through interaction between Arabian and Indian astrological scholars approximately 1500 years back. 

For its Arabian origin, this system is called Tajika or Tajik system and it is employed for casting   only the annual progression horoscope but not the natal horoscope. The Varsha Pravesh system has been in practice in India since the time of Barahamihira (505 -587), the famous Hindu astronomer, mathematician and astrologer who wrote many books on auguries, and authored the Brihat-Jatak and the Laghu-Jataka, the two great treaties of astrology. Until then the Tithi Pravesh system had been employed in casting annual horoscope in India.

Although Varsha pravesh and Muntha differ in the method of casting the annual charts but for drawing the inferences for forecasting the events of life the findings of both the charts are employed. So, they are complementary to each other; moreover, we don’t need to cast a separate Muntha chart because the Muntha of the year can be shown in the Varsha Pravesh chart itself; only the calculation methods are different. The objective of the varsha Pravesh or varshaphal horoscope is to determine the exact moment of New Year entry for a particular birth chart as well as to examine the nature and environment of different areas of life of the year in question.

How is the Varsha Pravesh or Varshaphal chart cast?

For casting the varsha Pravesh chart firstly, we need to know the longitude of the Sun in the natal horoscope in question; in other words,  Sun’s   exact position in relation to the sign, degree, minute and seconds and secondly the place of birth.

The Sun takes one year (365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and about 10 seconds) to complete one cycle of the zodiac which is called one solar year. For a particular horoscope, the longitude of the natal Sun indicates the completion of one solar year. 

Therefore, the Sun’s return to this point of the natal longitude every year marks the moment of entering new year; and the  on the basis of this moment the Varsha Pravesh kundali is cast which holds good until next solar return, i.e. one year.  The process of analyzing the chart is same as that of the natal chart. In casting the Varsha Prabvesh kundali the important point to be remembered is that the place should always be the native’s birth place irrespective of the fact that he/she may have migrated to a distant place and has been residing there.

Muntha: - The Muntha is also called ‘Munthaha’ and ‘Inthha’. According to Tajika doctrine the Muntha is a structure less and dull planet which moves around the zodiac with 2°-30speed per month. Therefore, it stays for one year or 12 months in a sign. 

On the other hand, at the time of birth Muntha always resides in the Ascendant (Lagna) itself; and every year, it moves one sign ahead of its location. We know that there are 12 signs in the zodiac; therefore, in case,  the year of age is more than 12 years, then,  to indentify the Muntha’s location in a horoscope, we have to add the year age (number) which we have just completed to the number of Lagna sign,  and then the resultant number is divided by 12 ( total number of zodiac signs.) to get a remainder and that remainder number indicates the sign where the current Muntha is located in the Varsha Pravesh Kundali.  

For example, let’s suppose, my ascendant is Virgo (sign number 6) and I completed 26 years, the current position of the Muntha in my Varsha Prabesh Kundali will be (6 + 26)=32÷12=2 and remainder=8. Therefore, in the current solar year, the Muntha resides in Scorpio (sign); Muntha is Scorpio and the Muntha Lord is Mars.

 Basic Rules: - 1) Aspect of Muntha lord to the Muntha sign (house) gives beneficial results. 2) Aspect to the Muntha by natural benefic is favourable. 3) Occupation of Cardinal (Kendra) houses from the Muntha by natural benefic planets accrues benefic results. 4) Occupation of 9^th/10^th/11^th house by Muntha lord brings in very positive results provided it is not conjoined with malefic and aspected by malefic planet. 

5) If the Muntha falls in the 9^th/10^th/11^th house from the natal ascendant and the annual ascendant (Varsha Pravesh ascendant), then they indicate that the native will meet with big success. 6) Muntha falling in the 1^st/2^nd/3^rd/5^th house from the Varsha Pravesh Lagna causes the native to do hard work but gives only average results.

 

7)Muntha falling in the 4th/6^th/7^th/8^th/12^th house from the annual ascendant gives unfavourable results. 8) If the Muntha happens to fall in the 4^th/6^th/8^th/12^th house from the annual ascendant and the natal ascendant then it indicates a very tough time for the year. 9) If Rahu occupies the Muntha with degree not less than that of the Muntha house, and the Muntha is conjoined with Jupiter or Venus or both or   aspected by any of them or both of them, then this position can bestow the native with power, position, fame and wealth. 

On the other hand if the degree of the Muntha house is less than that of the degree of the Rahu and Muntha is conjoined with or aspected by malefic, then the native is likely pass the year in grief and sorrow and  may have to be parted with his/her immovable property.
