Jyotish Planetary Configurations that Make a Good Psychic

By Alison Berker

There are two essential planets involved in creating a good psychic and three secondary ones that provide support.

The most important houses to look to are the first (the person themselves) and the fifth (the mind.)

The most essential planet for proper intuition is Jupiter.

This is illustrated by a Jupiter yoga mentioned in Sarvartha Chintamani call Trikala Gnana Yoga. It says the proprietor of this yoga will have knowledge of the past present and future. The yoga's definition is the following:
"Jupiter in Mrudvamsha, own navamsha or Gopuramsha aspected by a natural benefic."

Both mrudvamsha and gopuramsha mean that Jupiter is in its own sign or exalted in multiple divisional charts, which makes it very strong, as does being in its own navamsha. In all cases, it is ideally supported by another natural benefic. This yoga appears in the chart of every example below.

In addition, the other planet that is nearly always involved in creating a psychic is either one of the nodes, which gives access to unseen realms and non ordinary modes of perception.

Supporting planets are Mercury, the Moon, the Sun and to a lesser extent Venus. A psychic is likely to be better if these planets are reasonably strong and unafflicted, especially Mercury and the Moon. If Mercury is afflicted, they may lack the ability to successfully translate between other realms and may become confused about what they are perceiving. Moon rules the manas, the emotional mind and if Moon is afflicted, their psychic abilities may simply push them over the edge into some type of madness. The Sun rules consciousness itself and light so it can illuminate both visions and allow for things to surface from Pure Consciousness.

The following combinations are frequently present in the charts of good psychics:
1. A powerful Trikala Gnana Yoga
2. Ideally, either the first house or first lord or the fifth house or fifth lord should be involved with Jupiter, or Jupiter should be involved with the nodes.
3. Ideally, either the first house or first lord or the fifth house or fifth lord should be involved with the nodes, or Jupiter should be involved with the nodes.
4. Mercury and Moon should be reasonably strong and unafflicted
5. The Sun or Moon should be involved in one of the combinations
Here are some examples.

Malcolm Bessent
Malcolm Bessent has undergone extensive scientific study and has been rated the most accurate psychic in the world. He has all of the combinations above in toto. A Capricorn ascendant, his lagna lord is placed in the fifth house of the mind. He has a strong Trikala Gnana Yoga form by exalted AND retrograde Jupiter in the seventh house who is also in his own sign in the navamsha and in his own sign or exalted in 6 amshas (subsidiary chart). Jupiter is with the full Moon who is in its own sign and with Rahu. In the ascendant are the Sun and Mercury forming a Budhaditya Yoga (a yoga of intellect) with Ketu.

Peter Hurkos
Peter Hurkos developed psychic abilities after a severe head injury that left him in a coma for three days. Volatile and moody, he could speak in foreign tongues when asleep but also did psychic work when awake. He is just shy of a true trikala gnana yoga because Jupiter is not aspected by a natural benefic, but it is Rx and in its own or exaltation sign in four amshas. The head injury tie to being psychic is apparent in the placement of the lagna lord in Aries in the eleventh where it is associated with a parivartama yoga between Mars and Saturn. The psychic combinations are potentized by having Jupiter with Ketu in the fifth house in mutual aspect to the lagna lord in the eleventh who is with Sun and Rahu while having the fifth lord in the ascendant. He also has a Budhaditya Yoga in the eleventh giving support. His Moon is somewhat afflicted by virtue of occupying an enemy's sign associated with Mars which is, no doubt, why he was moody.

Judith Richardson
Another famous psychic, Judith Richardson successfully sued for damages after a CAT scan that she claimed terminated her psychic abilities. She has a trikala gnana yoga formed by an exalted Rx Jupiter in the sixth house aspected by Venus from the twelfth. Jupiter is in its own amsha three times. While Jupiter is not involved with the fifth house, it is very strong and it is situated with Rahu in the sixth. The fifth lord is in the ascendant as Mercury forming another potent and unafflicted Budhaditya yoga. Her Moon is very bright and unaspected by any malefic. The lagna lord, Saturn, is in the fourth where it aspects both Jupiter and the ascendant. She lost her psychic powers during the tail end of Rahu-Ketu or the very beginning of Rahu-Venus while Saturn was transiting over Rahu and Jupiter.
