'A Question or Two' and 'Malefics' in Vedic/ Hindu/ Indian Astrology


A QUESTION OR TWO:

Even a question or two on the same subject, posed to the astrologer, if the said questions are conspicuous, can be a clue to many things happening in the relevant horoscopes in question. This is on the lines of Nimitta in Prashna and is important.

MALEFICS

When we meditate on the nature and impact of malefics, we may do so in several ways. The most frequent amongst these is to consider the impact of the malefics in the horoscope, primarily the Rashi Chakra, and in broad based physical manifestation in life.

In other words, what are the malefics doing to us is an oft contemplated sentiment.

Sometimes when we think of doership as against things being done to us, the source of personal intelligence becomes focal in understanding the issue.

If there is planetary aspect of natural malefics on the Lagna, then the Will and desire partake of the malefic impact and the same shall fuse itself with the personal intelligence/ Will/ desire.

If there is sign aspect of the natural malefic (s) on the Lagna, then the manifestation is destined and circumstantial and things in that contingency do not stem from the personal intelligence. They just happen.

Likewise qua the Paka Lagna.

The difference between the evaluation from the Lagna on the one hand and the Paka Lagna on the other would be the quality of dynamics and personality in motion or the lack of it, as the case may be, depending on the reference. From the Paka Lagna there is greater ownership and therefore greater responsibility. If this is in Upachaya, then greater leeway to channel and to guide the manifestation will also accrue. This is very important thinking according to me.

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

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha
