UPAGRAHAS

The Upagrahas are stars, or constellations counted from the one occupied by the sun, at any given time. They are 8 in number. when planets are placed in any of these 8 Upagrahas then they cause obstacles in all undertakings. The more the planets in these Upagrahas, then greater is the intensity of the bad results.

However, each Upagrahas has been allotted a planet and these obstacles caused by the Upagrahas can be overcome by doing shanti of the relevant planet, which can also be said to be the lord of the Upagrahas.

If a Nakshatra is receiving malefic Vedha and an Upagrahas is also placed there, then it is very likely that the person will face death either due to war or disease.

To ward off the evil effects of the upagrahas the planets associated with it should be propitiated.

The Nakshatra Abhijit should not be included while counting the Upagrahas.
