Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 May I suggest you check out the site of Dirah Academy. There you will find some valuable information and their courses are wonderful.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Hi: I'm no pro but I've been hacking away at vedic for a few years now after starting with western so I know what you're talking about. First off, don't read BPHS! I think it's way too dense and encyclopedic for normal use. Get a simple book like Levacy's Beneath a Vedic Sky or Frawley or whatever. For predictive stuff, KN Rao is good. I'm not sure where you're at exactly, so here's one way you can make a go of it. For making predictions, vedic relies on blending dashas with transits, with a dose of solar returns and a few other odds and ends. But really the core of the predictive stuff is dashas (usually vimshottari) and transits. As a starting point, find out what dasha and antardasha you are in. Then assess what the strengths of these planets are and what areas of life they might affect. Say you're running a Venus dasha. Now that doesn't necessarily have to be about love and marriage if it's sitting in the 6th house while ruling the 3rd and 8th houses. You have to consider planets that are aspecting Venus too. After that, you might note some transits. Now here's a good rule to remember about transits and dashas: the transit of the dasha lord (Venus in this case here) through its good signs (Pisces, Taurus, and Libra) will tend to bring good Venus-type events (natal chart willing) while dasha lord transits through its bad signs (Virgo, in particular, but enemy signs like Leo as well) will tend to depress its effects and cause problems. Also Jupiter and Sun transits through these signs will bring about similar sorts of effects, although Jupiter through the bad houses are less likely to cause hardships. So if you're running Venus dasha now, transiting Venus is transiting its sign of exaltation Pisces right now. This will likely bring good results for the house that its in and houses that Venus rules. So that's one way you can combine dasha and transits. Another thing to consider, especially if you're in the early throes of 'vedic frustration', is to give Systems Approach (SA) a try. It is a neat, simplified approach to vedic astrology that many people find effective. There are web sites and tons of books on it (by VK Choudry). It takes only a little while (a few months?)to learn the basics, and it avoids some of the complicated often contradictory stuff that pervades the jyotish canon. I'm familiar with SA and I think it's useful although I am not a through-and-through practitioner of it. But if you're finding vedic overwhelming, it's definitely worth checking out. I wish I had taken it more seriously in my early stages of study. Let me know where you're at and I'll give you any tips that I can muster. Remember, though, I ain't no pro! Hopefully more learned members can offer their insights as well. Chris At 11:16 PM 3/7/01 +0100, you wrote: >same problem here. I would love to hear from a pro.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Hi, thank you for your response. I did Dirah. It was very very helpful and interesting, but not 'prediction wise'. I have the books you are referring to. I think I have already come a long way; often I can find back events I know about. Friends tell me about the events in their life and I try to astrologically find them. My consolation is, the same thing happened - with the same despair ;-(( - whilst learning western astrology. but I cannot come up with facts like : you are going to move abroad in abt 1 year. Or something like that. Let me give you an example of a simple question I cannot answer. This chart is from a friend, a fellow astrologer: female, 9 oct. 1941, amsterdam (zone 1) Netherlands, 4E54, 52N22 lagna: 7.48 gemini current dasha: Saturn - Sun I did her chart, both western and vedic. She has a 'simple' question (as far a simple questions exist). In 1995 she moved from Holland to New Zealand (funny thing is that NO western astrologer could find the move in her western chart). Now she wants to know when she comes back and/or if it is a wise thing to buy a house there. I (think) I know that the current Dasha Saturn-Sun is very meaningful in this matter. Saturn is in her 12 (far away countries) and natal Sun is residing in the fourth (property, land etc.) Transiting Saturn is also in the 12 right now. Transiting jupiter too. Jupiter tr. is now in 10 degrees taurus and will have an exact aspect with Sun in 4 in a couple of months. Of course they also lord several houses with the consequences... Now, as a beginner, the only thing I can see, is that the subject is 'hot' in her life. which is not much of an answer. So I think more beginners have the same problems; even when you do see things, you don't know what to make of it. Hope you can teach me something...

Christopher: To begin, you may want to visit: http://www.aryabhatt.com/money.htm This is Vasudev's web page re the book. You will notice mention of the Sarvatobhadra Chakra is a favorite tool. I have looked into the Sarvatobhadra Chakra, but as of yet, have not found any additional information on it. If anyone can 'enlighten' me on this, please get back to me. In advance, I wouyld be very thankful. Vasudev's book is 477 pages in length, very well laid out, virtually no North&South charts, just tables. Hope this helps, and many thanks, Yours, Victor "Moorkha" Zubarev Get email at your own domain with Mail. http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
