Remedies

This requires keen judgement (and I would say also needs self-experimentation in the initial stage). Try out remedies on yourself and see what remedy gives what result. Then increase or decrease the intensity of the remedy (by varying type of remedy, frequency, effort, etc) and see how the intensity of the result got impacted or the method of receiving the result changed.

Some points worthy to be considered:
1. Analyse the 9L of prashna when remedy is given – it will show whether remedy will have effect, how it will manifest, and % of result. Accordingly you may vary the intensity of the remedy to get slower or quicker results. Will also show whether remedy will work or not, and even whether remedy should be given or not.
2. See the strength with which the event is happening/getting blocked – compare this with strength of remedy being considered. Remedy has to be strong enough to counter the ‘negative’ event or support the ‘positive’ event. See the praan dasha etc in which remedy is being received by client – this will also help in understanding whether remedy will work or not. Client cannot even get the remedy if the dashas don’t support in getting the remedy 🙂
3. Certain things cannot be remedied at all, so doing remedies is of no use. Death is no. 1 on this list.
4. Suitability of the remedy is a very big factor. Both space and time aspects should be combined. Often this becomes the main obstruction. Also the type of remedy should be suitable to the client – as multiple remedies can be there to achieve the same result.
5. The bhav and faith of the astrologer and the client also do play a role.
6. Remedies cannot ‘create’ an event that is denied in a chart or cannot ‘erase’ an event that is promised in the chart. So they have a range in which they can operate hence the expectation from the remedy should also be realistic.
7. Sometimes the remedy works by planting a seed of something big, and not by showing the big result immediately. This also should be considered but often this can only be realised by the client later.
8. Sometimes people do a remedy, but also do karma which keeps negating the remedy – eg reading Durga saptashati every day but exploiting females every night – the remedy will surely not work and no remedy will work. In fact many a times the current karma (kriyaman) is sufficient to block any remedy, so first the present karma has to be rectified and only after that a remedy can start showing some result.
