Case Study 4

Navigating a Challenging Divorce Through
Vedic Astrology Remedies

Client Background: A British client approached me during a highly stressful and contentious divorce. They described their partner as being extremely aggressive, taking possessions while they were away, and using legal action to deprive them of as much as possible. The client was not religious or spiritual but was open to exploring Vedic astrology for guidance during this difficult time.

Astrological Observations: A detailed examination of the client’s chart revealed several significant influences contributing to the turmoil:

  • Panoti Yoga: The divorce began during a Gold Panoti Yoga which is the second most challenging Saturn transit.
  • Sade-Sati: The client was in the midst of Sade-Sati, a challenging Saturn transit that often brings emotional and situational upheavals.
  • Relationship and Legal Challenges: The 7th house, governing relationships, was afflicted both in the natal chart and by transit, forming a Papakartari Yoga (PKY). The 7th lord was also under heavy affliction, as were the 6th and 8th houses, indicating legal struggles and emotional pain.

The chart also pointed to the likelihood of deception or betrayal in relationships due to the conjunction of Venus (wife) and Rahu (deception), which resonated with the client’s experience.

Remedies Prescribed: To mitigate the planetary challenges and provide relief, I suggested the following remedy:

  • Laghu Rudra Puja: This powerful ritual was recommended to alleviate the effects of Sade-Sati and seek Shiva’s blessings to pacify the planet.  This helped bring balance to the afflicted 7th house, and reduce the intensity of Sade-Sati’s challenges.

Outcome: Approximately one month after the puja, I happened to check in with the client to see how things were progressing. They shared that the divorce had been finalized and the paperwork sorted. Notably, they appeared much happier, less stressed, and more at ease with the situation.

Conclusion: This case demonstrates how Vedic astrology can provide valuable insights and relief during even the most challenging life events. By addressing the planetary influences causing distress, the client was able to move through the difficult divorce process with greater emotional resilience and clarity. The transformation in their demeanor post-remedy highlights the potential for ancient practices to bring balance and peace, even for those unfamiliar with spiritual traditions.
