CHART INTERPRETATION FOR ABC Dear ABC, Meena (Pisces) Lagna (Ascendant) rises in the chart. Meena is the 12th House of the chart of the Kalpurusha, or the Cosmic Man. It is a mystic Rashi (sign) and indicates propensities to Moksha or liberation, since this is one of the sterling features of the 12th House (H). Since the 12th H is also of emigration, foreign travel, loss, meditation, seclusion, house of the Guru or the Ashram, expenditure, secrecy, secret suffering, dissipation and pleasures of the bed among other significations, these themes are likely to attain prominent focus in life in some manner or means. The applicability of each signification will be modified by the other factors relating to such significations. Meena is a Jala Tattwa Rashi, meaning that this sign has a watery disposi

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.

Joseph Campbell culled out a standardized model of the heroic mythic journey from deep investigations into romantic, mythic and spiritual literature of all major civilizations in the world.

This suggested, that although there might be variations in the theme of the heroic travel, the theme itself was one and replicated itself in the myths from the various parts of the world. Comparative Mythology presents the seeker with a very reliable guide map with which to understand and project the journey of life. The Monomyth divides the heroic adventure into three stages: separation, initiation and return. Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) is a predictive art devised by the Brahmin

JYOTISH, JURISPRUDENCE & CULTURE Students in India are required to read, over and over again, that India is predominantly an agricultural economy. Agriculture, agriculturists, agricultural produce and agricultural land are all within the domain of Shani Dev (Lord Saturn). One looks on in amazement as field upon field of agricultural occupation passes by as one drives on the highways in North India. Shani is Vyapak (extensive), lording over the formerly untouchable (prior to the passing of the Untouchability Act), casteless, Shudras (the lowest caste according to the four-fold caste structure of Ancient India; again no longer applicable to anyone in India due to legislative enactments and the like) and all sorts of homeless, deprived and vagrant people. It is not that merely because legislative enactments have been brought about to wipe out the discrimination that existed due to the practice of Untouchability and the caste system, the concept of caste has ceased to exist.
