Vedic/ Indian/ Hindu Astrology-ATMAKARAKA, CHANDRA YOGA AND BRIHAT JATAKA


 

When studying the Atmakaraka, it is to be noted that the Grahas, Arudhas, Karakas and Bhavas in the Kendra to the Atmakaraka are the strongest to assist the King in His objectives. Those in the Panapharas are of lesser strength and those in the Apoklima are the weakest.

The curious thing is that Varahamihira in his Brihat Jatak, advises the converse for the Surya-Chandra Yoga. In other words, when the Chandra Graha is in Kendra to Surya, it is weakest. In Panaphara, stronger and in the Apoklima the strongest. Also if Chandra, the Karaka for flux and social interaction is in its own Amsha and either joined or aspected by Guru or Shukra (in Rashi or Amsha?)then the native is wealthy and happy.

In common practice it is found that 'all' Yogas have their play. Even with the Moon afflicted and bereft of the Grace of the association with either of Guru and Shukra in the Rashi can deliver the results if in own Amsha and forming Gajakesari Yoga in the Navamsha is some such fortunate Yoga is coming through.

Varahamihira advises us to see the 10th Bhava from the Lagna for work, the 10th Lord, the Navamsha dispositor of the 10th Lord in the Rashi and also the similar entities when reckoned from Surya and Chandra in the Rashi Chakra. This is very valuable. The 10th Bhava from the Lagna may not really show what work the native is performing or even the sphere of work. It may only show how the native (Lagna) shines in work or what are the modes of application and what are the events that come to pass for the native in the realm of work at the physical level.

From the Moon, the 10th Bhava and the lord will show the manifestation of the social support in work and the Navamsha lord of the 10th Lord from the Moon will show the real area in which such support comes. From the Sun, such Analysis will show the field of resources in which the native applies himself.

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
