Newton's Laws of Motion & Vedic/ Hindu/ Indian Astrology


NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION AND JYOTISH:

Let us consider one of the laws. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Karmically, it may be. But we are concerned with partly free-willed action in the human realm.

It would be the opinion of this writer that this law should not be followed in the realm of Upachaya. Suppose another's action is negative. If the reaction is negative, there is a vicious circle created. Even worse, the Papa/ Kroora Graha reigns because of continuance of negativity. Choose another reaction which may not be either equal or opposite.

For this you may need:

(i) another Graha joined which can effectively enter the scene;

(ii) a strong Graha (Vakra/ Cheshta Bala) aspecting the relevant Yoga with Graha Drishti/ planetary aspect;

(iii) a strong Graha aspecting the Yoga with Rashi Drishti, which can effectively intervene (Cf. Parakrama Argala of Ketu on the Pada Lagna/ Surya in Bhagwan Shri Rama Jatak, setting right Varuna, exalted Shukra giving Virodha Argala to the Pada, with Rashi Drishti);

(iv) involvement of the Atmakaraka indicating alteration, improvement and other measures, rather than the same old, same old, of the equal and opposite;

(v) very importantly, the involvement of a strong Upachaya (s) for the exertion of free will and Karmic leeway.

The other rules of Jyotish apply squarely.

If you are lucky, you may wipe out all that challenges without a trace of Tamas. This can be viewed as a work in progress if encountered in life, just as Upaya for Panchanga Dosha, Shrapa, Sarpa Yoga, Kala Sarpa Yoga, Graha Malika Yoga etc.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/ asc

A METHODOLOGY FOR VEDIC CHART INTERPRETATION

The following is an attempt to lay down a general method to conduct professional chart analysis. It appears to have worked well for the author in his practice. Notably though, it need not be the best way to interpret charts and the astrologer must find her own way when it comes to developing a structure with which to unravel any given chart. Some of the more general features of interpretation are being omitted for fear of the paper becoming unwieldy but certain crucial aspects of Jyotish interpretation are being explained since these are not very widely used. The author is indebted to the works of Pt. Sanjay Rath, author, scholar and Jyotish Guru of Sri Jagannath Center. It is through assimilating the writings of Pt. Rath that the author has been able to progress from the fundamentals of Jyotish to a somewhat deeper understanding. ARUDHA PADAS: The houses as reckoned from the Lagna/ Ascendant reveal the truth about the native. This is metaphysical reality as distinguished from precipit

Yanavanta/ Annapurna/ Vahana Yoga of Venus and Moon in Scorpio-8th October, 2013

The Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta/ Annapūrṇā/ Annapurna/ Vāhana/ Vahana Yoga is formed when Venus and Moon/ Śukra and Cañdra/ Shukra and Chandra associate to form a Yoga in the Vedic horoscope; by Vedic horoscope is meant the Rāśi Cakra/ Rashi Chakra and the Varga Chakra as well, the latter being the divisional charts governing specific areas of life such as marriage (Navāmśa/ Navamsha), career (Daśāmśa/ Dashamsha), children (Saptāmśa/ Saptamsha), parents and elders (Dwādaśāmśa/ Dwadashamsha), comforts and luxuries (Ṣodaśāmśa/ Shodashamsha), spirituality and worship (Vimśāmśa/ Vimshamsha), education (Siddhāmśa/ Siddhamsha) etc. Let us consider the immediate meanings of the various terms used to indicate the Yoga formed due to the association of Venus and the Moon. The term Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta indicates the charioteer or one guiding the vehicle of humanity or a group or individuals. It indicates leadership and the capacity to show the way to the multitudes and to guide and mould their live
