Adi6Engineer: arudha and upapada lagnas (for Juliana and all)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Juliana and all:

 

You wrote an excellent explanation of these padas. Maharishi Jaimini

has a gold mine of astrological observations that jyotishis should

apply in their modern day chart analyses. For example, the slokas

relating to the navamsha lagna and the karakamsa should be applied to

the arudha lagna as well. As such, the jyotishi can better

understand the breadth of an individual's cosmic potential.

 

Regards,

 

John R.
