The Teachings of Iyer - Divisionals

January 28, 2010

Dear Members,

If I might offer some comments on this work...

**He taught that we should evaluate the meaning of each Varga chart with respect

to the planets whose dasa and bhukti are running at each period of a person's

life. For example, if a person is running a Venus dasa, then one would focus on

the position of Venus in each varga chart.**

I agree with this in principle, but with special attention paid to related

vargas i.e. for Leo lagna Venus owns 3rd/10th bhavas; So for greater clarity in

regards to siblings etc I would note position of Venus in dreshkana (D3). For

occupation/success in life I would note position of Venus in dashamsha (D10);

and of course, special attention to navamsha as per Venus prime signification.

As for other vargas, my opinion is that these would come into focus specifically

(in the same manner) according to the various antar/pratyantar/sookshmantar

periods within a particular mahadasa...in this instance, Venus. Members might

like to test this out on various charts and share their findings with the group.

I personally am of the opinion that neither bhava lordships or graha aspects are

possible in what is simply a division of the signs of the zodiac (into sections)

for finer analysis. As I've said many times over the years, and I'm sure people

must be tired of hearing it by now, but none-the-less it's worth repeating,

Janma Kundali itself is an 'act of creation' that takes place at the moment of

birth when the twelve signs of the zodiac, representing the physical universe,

are recreated as the twelve bhavas. These bhavas are, as they say, set in

stone...cannot be recreated (not in this lifetime - just as our own (created)

body cannot be recreated in this lifetime). The vargas, as per my understanding,

are divisions of the signs of the zodiac, not divisions of the bhavas.

In Janma Kundali, the recreated grahas have lordship over the created

bhavas...without thinking we refer to them as lagna lord, 9th lord, 10th lord

etc; This lordship, as with the bhavas, is set in stone and we cannot then

(also) assign lordship to them in the vargas. Lagna lord will always be lagna

lord as long as we are in this created body.

Please note Parashara's discourse on the " Sixteen Divisions of a Sign "

In Chapter 6 http://jyotishvidya.com/ch6.htm he refers throughout to the rasis

(or signs)...nowhere does he refer to the vargas as divisions of the bhavas.

In other sections of BPHS he does refer specifically to the bhavas when

discussing the significations of the bhavas, dasas of bhava lords, strength of

bhavas etc, etc..

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

PS: Perhaps I could have expressed my thoughts on this in a clearer

manner...rather than rushing through at the end of my comments (as I did). There

is no doubt that (often) my fingers are far quicker than my brain; So to clarify

my meaning let me rephrase the following statement...

///Please note Parashara's discourse on the " Sixteen Divisions of a Sign "

....nowhere does he refer to bhavas or bhava lords in connection with

Divisionals/Vargas.

Best Wishes,
