Rahu & the Luminaries in Vedic/ Indian/ Hindu Astrology


RAHU &  THE LUMINARIES:

The Vyasa Mantras can reveal the nature of the relationship Rahu has with the luminaries. If associating in the radix, the sense of Self, health, pride, ego, respect, propriety, father, resources, glory, mind, mother, feelings, society, groups, food, relationships, Jala Tattwa and all events that may be related to these will show peculiarities, affliction, unusualness, strange Karmic strains, and such.

The intensity of the affliction will depend on so many factors that it is neither possible to enumerate them nor even to lay down any meaningful hypothesis. Some illustrative examples are given: if one of the luminaries is the Lagna Lord then Rahu becomes very malefic, being malefic 8th lord for Karka Lagna and the Maraka for Simha Lagna.

Association with the 6th House will definitely make the native prone to substance abuse and mental torment.

In transit some of these indications can come to pass.

To everything there are at least two sides.

If the planets despite the afflictions are strong and create potent Yogas then foreigners, foreign lands, access to any culture, perhaps global work, ease with sophistication and passing muster in any setting or company, thoughts without boundaries, research, novel thought, power, political power, charisma, enigma etc will show up.

Rahu whirls the Karma around the mind, body and soul. The native may not be able to sleep if a sudden intense Yoga in transit occurs. Past shocks, humiliations, setbacks, perversions, curious abuse suffered may come back in the mind to show the person the power of Rahu and what it once did, even if the whole tenor of life has changed since. The flip side is the journey becomes clearer and the distance covered is suddenly more real and measurable.

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
