The online horoscope is the mirror of all major and minor important events in the life of a person. Popularity of a person means his being well known for his special qualities and achievements among the people of his city, state or country, and even beyond the frontiers of his country.
According to Vedic astrology, if a person becomes popular chances are that the Lagna and Lagna lord are very strong and there are other supportive powerful yogas in his horoscope.
The dasa-bhukti of strong Lagna lord and yoga forming planets should run during his youth and middle age, when the native can put in maximum effort and work hard to reap the reward. Success and popularity and sudden gain wealth astrology is the result of strong destiny and sincere and dedicated efforts to unfold it.
As per the Indian Vedic astrology, the general public is indicated by the 4th house of the horoscope and 10th house refers to one’s profession. If these are strong and their lords are also strong along with strong Lagna and its lord, the person becomes popular and gets recognition for his work.
In addition, when the 5th house (Poorvapunya), the 9 house (God’s Grace) and their lords are also strong and well placed, the person is destined for getting recognition and fame. To get full details about your life, you can get your online horoscope here.
Saturn is the significator of masses. When it is strong and favorably placed, the person achieves mass following. Rahu when placed in 10th house of a horoscope also helps in native’s rise in politics and also can play an important role in the career problems astrology.
Venus in Sagittarius is reputed to give much name and fame. Mercury in 8th house makes an individual capable, rich and famous. Similarly, malefics placed in evil (6, 8, 12) house destroy the negative effect of those house and confer recognition and success on the native.
In Vedic astrology, the Moon stands for personality of a person and Jupiter indicates expansion. Their harmonious location in birth chart makes the native successful and popular. The Kendra location of Moon and Jupiter is known as Gajakesari Yoga, which is reputed for conferring name, fame, wealth and reputation on the individual.
The presence of Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga and Karak Yoga makes a person famous and popular in life. Another yoga which helps a person born in ordinary circumstances to rise in life due to destiny and hard work is Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga. In addition, Vipreet Raja Yoga gives a person sudden rise in life, but if there is no supportive Raja Yoga, the down-fall follows.
Conversely, downfall takes place during the dasa-bhukti of planets forming Arishta (Inauspicious) Yogas. The dasa-bhukti of functional malefics (Lords of 6, 8, 12 house) and badhaka (obstructive) planets also cause downfall of the native.
It is also observed that some persons rise to a very high position, but also suffer sudden downfall and their reputation and public image gets smeared. This occurs due to operation of good youga forming planet’s dasa followed by that of bad yogas present in the horoscope.
