CRIMINOLOGY AND ASTROLOGY
Crime is generally understood as Violation of Law. To smuggle is crime though it is nothing except a business to bring the goods of other country into own country or taking away the products of own country to other country for sale and to earn livelihood. If this transaction is not banned or is within the rule framed by the Government, it is called import and export allowed after obtaining a proper licence. Leaving such crimes, we can talk of other crimes. If two persons start heated discussions, one of them become so excited that he slapped the other. In turn, the other one stabbed him. A crime has taken place. Till there were heated arguments or even one person was slapped, there was no crime. The criminal tendency in the other person overpowered his sense of intelligence and he committed the crime.
Most of the incestuous rapes are not reported, because of the probable social repercussions. A father may outrage his daughter’s modesty or a man may molest his cousin sister or a man may be attracted to other women, but such cases are hushed up and the victims are mentally scarred whereas the culprit goes Scot-free.
MANY A CRIME DEEMED INNOCENT IN EARTH ARE REGISTERED IN HEAVEN [St. 26 Cowper; THE TASK].
Criminology is the study of crime and criminals. This study needs the help of palmistry, astrology and omens, etc. The construction of physical body, lines on palm, figure of thumb and fingers show a clear indication of such tendencies in the human being. In astrology from the birth- chart erected together with the concerned Vargas, such indications can be given at the time of the birth of the native. If such indications are known in the childhood, it becomes very easy to give proper treatment and to take proper precautions to supress such tendencies. From the instance of Phoolan Devi it is clear that the excesses committed on her by the society made her the Bandit Queen.
Man is a social animal who likes to work hard and to live a peaceful and comfortable life. He needs money, wealth, family, social status, etc. Sometimes, the will to take revenge or to be a rich becomes the reason for the person taking resort to crime.
“Koomati Soomati Sab Ke Urr Rahoo”- SANT TULSI DAS
(The bad and good feelings are in every human heart).
It is for the human being to suppress the Evils (Rakshas) and let the Good (Devtas) flourish in his heart. The solution of this problem is only in Karma Theory and Astrology. It can be proposed to the Government through this article that the subject of Astrology is to be made compulsory for the school teachers. If the teacher knows Astrology, he can study the chart of the student and can know about the tendencies in the child. While teaching, he can guide the student towards a proper career best suited for him. This again depends how sincere the teacher is towards his profession.
Some of the astrological situations and combinations leading to the criminal tendencies as given in the various classical texts are discussed hereunder.
The Tithi, Nakshatraa, of birth and the planetary positions at the time of birth indicate the future events, likely to take place in a native’s life.
ACCORDING TO JATAKA BHARNAM
1. DAYS:
The native born on Tuesday will be brave, ugly in his behaviour, cruel in nature, fond of use of arms and fire and will be an angry person.
The person born on Saturday will have dirty nature, will be cruel, angry, mean and dry in behaviour.
2. TITHI:
Chaturthi: The native will be interested in taking loans, will be courageous, warrior, gambler, quarrelsome, unstable, etc.
Saptami : He may steal or snatch other’s money and wealth and will be victorious over enemies.
Navami: The person acts against the interest of own men, harsh in speech, oppose everyone, fallen from moral values.
3. NAKSHATRAS

Ashlesha: The person born in this nakshatra is fond of teasing others, will be a cheater, proud. will spend money unscrupulously.
4. GAND YOGAS :
Ati Gand : The native is proudy, angry, and very Gand Yoga mean, quarrelsome.
5. YOGAS OF PLANETARY POSITIONS:
Chaurya and Yoga:
(i) Mars, Mercury, with Saturn in 6th cause this Yoga. The native will be a thief. He amputes the limbs of others.
(ii) Saturn in Cancer and Mars in Capricorn. The native becomes a thief and a criminal and gets punishment of even amputation of hands and feet. (This type of punishment is out- of -date these days).
(iii) Malefics in Aquarius, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius. The native does low deeds.
(iv) Lagna in Mercury’s Orekkena and aspected by the Moon. The native may be born in a family which is rich respected and famous, one will do low deeds.
Dhanur Yoga: (JatakaPaarijat) The native adopts the profession of thieves, haunts inaccessible places.
SarYoga: The native will have cruel disposition and may be incharge of a prison.
Sakti Yoga: He will be base, slothful and bereft of ease and wealth.
Kuta Yoga: (lf there are all planets in seven houses from the fourth house, in any order). The person frequently visits mountains and forests. He will be addicted to cruel deeds.
The position of the Sun and the Moon in the seventh house and aspectecd by Saturn compel the native, though born in a high family, to adopt the means prescribed for a person of base birth.
The birth of a native on a particular day, tithi, in a yoga is responsible for the inclination and the mental aptitude. Karma theory reveals that the native is born with the effects of Karmas of past births. He is supposed to pay the debt which he owes to others. It may be in terms of money, service, or as a father or a son whatever the position is. This is known as PRARABADH. (The balance out of the SANCHIT Karmas of the past births allotted to be enjoyed or suffered during the present birth). Therefore, it is clear that there is reflection of his Karmas of the past births in the present life in the shape of SAMSKARAS. The Samskaras are also inherited from the parents to whom the native has taken birth. The human body is known as Karma yoni. The human being is lucky to have ‘VIVEK’. The man can do Karma (his duty) after taking proper decision.
So, the man is known as:
“Maker of his own Fortune”
The position of the planets in the birth-chart indicates trends of the future events to take place in the life of the native. The Moon, Rahu, Saturn, Mars, the malefic signs and the lords of the sixth, eighth and twelfth houses are the main factors responsible for curbing the native towards crime. The effect of Mars on the Moon raises the B. P. or anger, the effect of Rahu snatches the power of thinking or taking a proper decision. Saturn gives firmness to the idea and action, the association of the lords of the bad houses enhances the evils and all these together make the native commit such crime. The association of Mars, Venus and the Moon gives urge for a sex, if it is joined by the lord of the dasa of a planet posited in twelfth or the lord of the twelfth and the transit is also giving such influences, the native indulges in sex. The effects of malefics on their house and tenth house together with their lords give the native courage to murder. (See two examples of horoscopes given at the end.)
6. The effects of the planets in Ascendant (Vridh Yavan Jatakam):
1. Mars and the Sun: The native will be cruel, quarreisome and of dirty nature. He may be engaged in the low deeds, will be merciless and defeated by ememies.
2. The Sun and Mercury: He may be engaged in unsoical deeds, will have bad character and will be shameless.
3. The Sun and Venus: He will be angry in nature and tease others.
4. The Moon: and Saturn: He will be a chemist, expert in the use of poison, interested in other’s wealth and a proud person.
5. Mars and Mercury: The native will be a cheat, quarrelsome, merciless, etc.
6. The Sun, The Moon and Mars: The person will be engaged in unsocial, unjust and cruel deeds.
