Guest guest Posted April 3, 1999 Report Share Posted April 3, 1999 Jaya Jaya Jagannath Dear Andrew, In both the avatars, as Sri Ram and as Sri Krishna, the marriage was not arranged. Sri Krishna's marriage was clearly a love marriage. Is this not Vedic?

It is a trine house and therefore *love* based. ____ ------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/sjvc Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 1999 Report Share Posted April 3, 1999 Jaya Jaya Jagannath Dear Andrew, The 11th house from any Bhava is the "Laabha" or the acts and things that the house gains and grows from. The Marriage grows with love and affection and of course, children. These are the fruits (Or gains ) from marriage. It tells us whether the objective of marriage is going to be achieved, and in what manner. Thus, a marriage without love and affection is no marriage at all. Sometimes people stay married due to the presence of children and their responsibilities. Thus, the fifth can be treated as a cementing house for the marriage. The fifth is trines to the ascendant and also shows the mind..whether it is capable of loving like with a Venus in the fifth or is too dumb for such sensitive things like with saturn in the fifth. The fifth is the second from the fourth thereby it has primary ARGALA (intervention) in its affairs. Thus if the fourth rules the heart , then, figuratively, the fifth will tell us what the person likes or who and what occupies or influences his heart. The fifth is not really the house for extra-marital ties. It just shows who a person likes. It has nothing to do with LUST, but ONLY LOVE. For lust, see the Darapada (Arudha Pada of the 7th house) and the second and seventh from the Upapada (Arudha pada of the 12th house) as these show the persons who will come into his PRIVATE life (A&) and share his bed (A12 or UL). Finishing here as this is as far as I can go in public.

It's quite common for successful entertainers to have powerful 8th houses. Of course it's not confined to entertainers. If memory serves me well the famous boxer Mohammed Ali (apologies if I got his name wrong, but I hope you know who I mean) has a powerful 8th house. Paramahansa Yogananda has (I believe) 9th lord MA conjunct 8th lord JU in 8th...the list goes on.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 1999 Report Share Posted April 4, 1999 Jaya Jaya Jagannath Dear Al, There is a detailed explanation on all these basics in my book Crux of Vedic Astrology. I have taken the trouble of trying to explain every important principle. I hope you enjoy it. If anything is amiss, please do correct me.
