Varga Yantra

I found a Sakata yoga in my Dasamsa, where Jupiter and Moon are in a six-eight relationship, this causes a lack of desire to work. Later, while we were rectifying my D-144 chart, I found some other combinations I wanted to do remedial measures for. How to do a mantra for a varga chakra? I pleaded with my guru for the secret, and one day, he revealed this yantra that had been used by his grandfather. 

The inner level of the mandala has 4 petals, with a Ganesh mantra: Siddhi Rastu. One syllable (akshara) goes into each petal. In this way, the center is controlled by Ganesha. 

The next part of the yantra will vary for everyone. 

The eight petals are to be filled in with the charakarakas according to one’s own individual chart. As each karaka relates to a planet they are to be put into the petals accordingly using the kalachakra directions. The charakarakas are related to the kalachakra not the dig chakra, which uses Ketu for the upward direction.

sid	Sama Veda	SHREEM	West	Knowledge of the Moon, melody, music
dhi	Yajur Veda	DHEEM DHLEEM DHREEM	North	Supreme knowledge, knowledge of mantra, cure anything with right mantra & music, Knowledge of Brihaspati
ra	Rg Veda	RAM	East	Spiritual knowledge
stu	Atharva Veda	STREEM	South	Knowledge of magic, comes from StreeM (Tara), power

The Atmakaraka is the highest degree planet irrespective of the sign it is placed in. The Atmakaraka is like the Sun and therefore it is placed in the eastern direction. The Amatyakaraka is the second highest degree planet and it is like Rahu, therefore it is placed in the North East. The Bhratrkaraka is the third highest degree planet and is akin to Mars and therefore placed in the South East. All planets except Ketu are placed into the center eight petals. This chakra (wheel) of planets allow one to access the soul level karma. 

Atmakaraka	Soul/self	Sun	East
Amatyakaraka	Minister	Rahu	North East
Bhratrkaraka	Brothers	Mars	South East
Matrkaraka	Mother	Moon	North
Pitrkaraka	Father	Saturn	North West
Putrakaraka	Children	Jupiter	South
Jnatikaraka	Relatives	Mercury	South West
Darakaraka	Spouse	Venus	West

The third level of the yantra has twelve petals. This is to place the specific varga chart within. As the 8 petaled lotus represented the internal manifestation, the 12 petaled lotus represents the internal manifestation. The lagna of the divisional chart is placed in the eastern direction. Everything is being aligned to the East to allow the yantra to open. The signs and planets of the divisional chart are added into the petals in a clockwise direction. It should be written with a red pen (on paper) or red paint (on a copper yantra). The red activates the planets and brings them alive.

The sixteen petaled lotus contains the 16 vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet. This lotus is lorded by Shiva and Shakti. It is the same as the throat chakra yantra. Then a bhupura is placed around the yantra to give it a field of action and protection.

Subject: Regarding Varga Chakra Yantra

Hello Sir,
I happened to visit your website shrifreedom.com and found a varga chakra yantra which can be a remedy for Guru Chandra Sakata yoga (this yoga is caused when Jupiter or Moon are in 6th, 8th or 12th positions from each other) . 

Can you kindly tell me more about this varga chakra , and any mantras relating to the chakra? and any presiding deity for this chakra? Any preparatory rites to be done for this chakra (japa or homa). Is this chakra can be made in gold/silver/copper and worn around neck or its should be kept in puja room only?
If someone’s name (who is suffering from sakata yoga) should be imprinted on this yantra? 

I am really sorry if I had disturbed you in your busy schedule but any help from from you might help me a lot.
I’ll be Extremely Grateful for your help , 

Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Raghulan.

It is a yantra that my Guru’s Guru used to use. My Guru just told me the basic yantra and said to follow the general rules.

Instead of a name like most common yantras, the astrological chart and the charakarakas are to be properly placed according to one’s own birth. This can be done for the Rasi or the individual varga chart. The yantra becomes a reflection of you. The yantra is to be used with mantra according to traditional dictums. 

In order to break a Sakata Yoga either Jupiter or Moon need to be in Kendra. For example, if Moon was in 5th and Jupiter was in 12th then the Sakata does not turn to Mukuta yoga (neither are in Kendra). Another example, if Jupiter is in 10th (kendra) and Moon in 3rd then the Sakata can be broken. For that case a Guru mantra that is 3 words and 10 syllables should be used ie. Aum Gurubrihaspataye Namah. The Moon (3rd) is brought to the Guru in the 10th house. The mantra must be correctly chosen according to the person’s chart. Number of rounds is done according to house, etc. 

This yantra can be used for various astrological remedies, especially those remedies that are being applied to troubles in the varga chakras. I hope I have answered you questions sufficiently.
