The 'Penny Dreadful Attitude' and 'Lifestyle' Studied Through Vedic/ Indian/ Hindu Astrology


PENNY DREADFUL:

Avoid it like the plague if you have a strong Lagnesh and/ or Surya. Have you ever seen a glorious king begging or counting his largesse. Except for some Lagnas and Lagna Lords,this would be good advide if the Lagnesh is with full Digbala in the Rashi Chakra or in Deeptawastha. Likewise for the strong Atmakaraka.

There is a reiteration of the caveat hereinabove enunciated: do not attribute the glory to separate 'I' but have it fed from the Source.

LIFESTYLE:

Surya is the Naisargika Karaka for Jyotish and thus when Surya is strong in a spiritual chart where the Atmakaraka associates with the 11th Bhava from the Lagna (4th from the 8th: learning of the occult, secret and the esoteric), then Jyotish Jnana is strong.

This knowledge will emerge in a Gochar where the Great Luminary is exalted in Gochar or otherwise very strong. It may emerge as lectures (speech), papers and writing if Budh, the Naisargika Karaka is strong and through the Guru-Shishya Parampara if there is Sambandha between Guru and Budh in the radix. It will burn the Tamas and Sattwa will emerge.

Glory dissipates with Tamas. Glory arrives with Sattwa. In some cases absence of glory amidst Tamas is not noticeable due to Lagna rising and/ or the features of the Rashi Chakra/ Arudha Padas.

Rajas is the Guna of creation while Tamas is the Guna of destruction. Sattwa is the Guna of sustenance. Whatever of created by Rajas stands to be destroyed by Tamas and sustained by Sattwa. Since the Karaka of the Lagna is Sattwic and the Karaka of food is Sattwic, the Sattwa Guna is excellent for Lagna and the food. The body should be Sattwic and food should be Sattwic.

The image should be Rajasic. Fighting and competition are Tamasic. Wealth is sustained by Sattwic measures. ‘Those who keep wealth in their minds cannot keep it, those who keep it in their thighs (Dhanu/ Guru/ perspective/ Grace/ Sattwa) always keep it.'

The 6th Bhava is Danda and the 6th Lord will deliver the Danda/ punishment. If afflicting the Paka Lagna and the Lagnesh happens to be Sattwic, it will act as direct punishment to glory, body, shining, effulgence, purity, growth, Jnana, perspective, Jyotish and if afflicting also the Arudha Lagna or the 7th from it, the image and the emergence and participation of the image. Therefore higher attributes of Tamas Grahas are to be used. If Tamasic consumption is indulged in it will have direct deleterious impact on life (Lagna, Lagna Lord and the Bhava/ Arudha Padas involved.)

Stay clear. Avoid it like an epidemic, especially if some leeway is destined by virtue of involvement of Upachaya Bhavas and/ or lord thereof.

Have sweets and become fat. Yes. Madhur Swada, sweet taste. The taste of Brihaspati. It is a better alternative. It is the only alternative.

Deny ruinous temptation of the Badhak, Shashthesh, Ashtamesh. Adhere to Guru and the Lagna/ Lagna Lord. Follow the command of the Atmakaraka.

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
