Problems with Divisional charts In Jyotish

[Guest guest]

Hello all this is Zamani

 

I have been having this exact same

conversation concerning divisional charts and the

apparent lack of similarity in lifestyles of

many people born with very similar (or even exact

duplicate)Rashis charts...for some time now.I am

fairly new to Vedic Astrology but I have had much

experience and success with Western Astrology.My

question always has been ,how do you know which

divisional chart to reference, when you are faced

with identical rashis but totally different life

experiences?....and what if you have divisional

charts that all give you disimilar answers or

impressions.Also ,can we rely on divisional

charts that heavy when they are so time

sensitive? I was born (according to my birth

certificate) at 10:23 am.So the only thing we

have to work with is that time.However we know

that many a nurse in a hospital has given a

"round about time or given an estimate after the

fact , and we also need to take into account how

accurate the clocks were (or the watch the nurse

or hospital person was using) Anyway , not to get

into semantics. My point is that Divisional

charts are EXTREMELY time sensitive, and most of

us have the knowledge of Vedic Astrology and its

principles through the long tradition that was

passed down by the ancient texts and the masters

who wrote them , (as well as the great Oral

tradition).The problem is (once again) that in

those times extremely accurate birthtimes may

have been hard to come by ,so wouldnt their

techniques for interpreting divisional charts (as

well as which ones to use) be somewhat flawed?

Especially since they didnt have the assistance

of computers either? I understand that the

superior divisional chart to reference along with

the Rashi is the Navamsa! But how do we know that

there couldnt be a superior interpretation if we

referenced another divisional chart? These are

just questions that ive had for some time and i

dont purport to be an authority on this subject

in the least..... nor do I stand in judgement of

the excellence of the Vedic system , which I have

witnessed many a time.Please give me some clarity

on these issues if possible.Thank You all .....Zamani

Dear Zamani

Two points on your question although by no means a complete answer

..Divisional charts highlight different aspects of a person's life so there

is a divisional chart for education another one for vehicles and another one

for children .

 

Another point on "same " rasi charts is to consider the rising degree of the

chart . Planets near the rising degree have their significations highlighted

..So for example with George Harrison's standard Libra chart the Moon is on

the ascending point .The Moon rules the 10th house for Librans and so this

emphasises the aspect of career in George's life and makes for an emotional

person . This is one of the strong points for the standard birth time a

Virgo Lagna would give a more intellectual/educational nature .

 

One point about birth times is that the accuracy of these varies from

country to country . American ones are probably the world's most accurate

because of the ongoing threat of litigation hospitals have been keeping very

accurate records for quite a long time . So God bless all those much

maligned legal eagles and the service they are rendering to Vedic

astrologers .

 

Kind regards

Nicholas

techniques.The questions that i posted concerning

are interpreted in Vedic astrology.My mentioning

that a "mention"...thanks for the feedback , it

was very helpfull....Zmaani
