Rahu as atmakaraka

[Guest guest]

Hi Wendy

When I was going to school for Ayurveda, the first thing any student

wants to know is their own Prakruti. So! in taking all the test I could

find, I kept coming out as tri-doshic. Well, there's very little

information out there for tri-doshics because its only about 1 out of

3000 people. Finding it hard to believe that I was tri-doshic I had

other people evaluated me.

One of my teachers said I was tri-doshic, One clinical Intern said I was

Pitta/Vata, another said I was Vata/Pitta, and the director and founder

of the collage labeled me as Pitta. Getting quite frustrated and trying

to solve my own health problems, a fellow student said something that

finally made sense. He said In India they just look at the Vrikiti ,

because the Vrikiti can mask the appearance of Prakruti.

I know of a man whom after moving to Oregon from California went

from a Vata constitution to a Kapha constitution. Whether or not he

changed his pre mortal nature from Vata to Kapha or changed his Vrikiti

is hard to say, because he is a healthy practitioner of Ayurveda.

So any way what Im trying to get at here is that when I look at a

person I look at everything I can! Natal chart [Prakruti] = Chakra

strength, Transits = [Vrikiti] and as you can see the strength of a

Chakra can become part of the Vrikiti and a Transit can change the

Prakruti. But this is for my own use so I can lead this person back to

their Dharma. In most cases the object is to stop the immediate problem

at hand. In this case using Ann's words, {over abundance of fire

"Pitta"} and {diarrhea, usually Pitta in origin} I deducted that the

problem at hand was of a pitta nature.

You might be right the original cause maybe Vata {constipation} but

the symptoms look purely Pitta to me! either way neither of us can be

exact without a thorough examination of her life style.

Hi Noel,

 

Yes I know exactly what you mean. Several vaidyas have assigned different

Prikriti to me. Unfortunately pulse diagnosis is (as you said) often

disguised by vrikriti. I feel that diagnosis is much more reliable using

Rashi. The doshas shift, this is true (due to transits, etc), and Vata

increases in everyone with age, but one's basic prikriti and, if present

(chronic) vrikriti, remains a rather solid basis in spite of the natural

shifting of the doshas...transient (non-chronic) vrikriti does change

according to dasas, transits, etc.

 

I agree that chronic (full-blown) Vata imbalance is characterised by

constipation, and Pitta by diarrhoea, etc...however the subdoshas are

usually the first to manifest discord. Even the transits (namely Rahu) are

increasing Vata in this chart.

 

Best Wishes

Wendy
