Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Pursottam: Ugh! This is way more complicated than I'd like. As a result, I likely won't bother using it. Thanks for putting the word out on it just the same. Chris >Perfect! However, there's one more important consideration to be made when >calculating Arudha's (which applies in Susan's case - see last Paragraph). >Both Jaimini and Parashara are clear that Aquarius is ruled by Rahu as well >as Saturn, and Scorpio by Ketu as well as Mars. In finding the Arudha's for >these two signs, we are told to use the stronger Lord. Which system of >strength is to be used is a debatable point. However considering that >Jaimini doesn't mention Shad Bala, Vimshopaka, Ashtakavarga etc. one can be >fairly confident it is not one of these. Instead Jaimini mentions there are >a few "thumb-rule" strengths which are normally used. According to Sanjay's >translation of the Jaimini Sutra's and what's been taught on the various >SJVC lists, the strengths may be judged as follows: > >Assuming that we are trying to decide who rules Aquarius out of Saturn and >Rahu, the following is the procedure: > >a) If both are in the Same sign, it doesn't matter. The counting will be >upto that house anyway. >b) If one is in Aquarius, while the other is not, the other is automatically >considered to be the stronger Lord. >c) If neither are in Aquarius, then you go through the following: > >*If one is associated with more planets than the other, he is the stronger. >If they're both equal: > >*Check out who aspects (rasi aspects) the two. Jupiter, Mercury and the >dispositor (even if it is Jup or Merc) all are worth a point let's say. The >one who gets more points is stronger. If they're equal: > >*If one is exalted he is stronger. Or if one is debilitated, he is weaker. >Still equals? Carry on... > >*The one in a stronger sign is stronger. Duals are stronger than fixed, and >fixed are stronger than Movables. > >*The planet who gives more years in the Rashi Dashas is taken to be >stronger. > >*The planet who has a higher longitude is stronger. > >(When thinking of Rahu or Ketu, take this from the end of the sign.) > >If we're judging for Scorpio, we follow the same procedure, but with Mars >and Ketu, instead of Rahu and Saturn. So if we now look at Susan Birr's >chart, we see that the Lagna is Scorpio, and therefore the stronger Lord has >to be found for deciding the Arudha Lagna. > >Neither Mars nor Ketu are in Sc. >Neither associate with any planets. >Ma is aspected (sign aspects) by Jup and dispositor Venus. >Ke is aspected by Mercury, and Dispositor Merc (This is taken as two >different aspects). >Neither are exalted or debilitated. >Ketu is in a dual sign, Mars is in a fixed sign. > >So, Ketu emerges as the stronger. If we now find the Arudha Lagna, using >Ketu as Lagna Lord, We get Cancer as the AL, with Venus in it, in exact >sextile to Neptune.
