On Benefic and Malefic Argalas (D10 and argala questions)

[Guest guest]

Dear Satish,

 

[Let me refresh your memory. In any chart, planets and signs in the 2nd, 4th and

11th from a sign cause argala on that sign.]

Yes. Think of this question: What is a good aspect and what is a bad aspect?

 

Argalas by malefics are bad and argalas by benefics are good. Let me give an

example.

 

Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi's D-10 has lagna and Venus in Gemini, Sun in Cancer and

Saturn and Mercury in Aries. Lagna in D-10 shows one's true nature when moving

in society (i.e. in career). Let us take the argalas on lagna. Sun casts an

argala and so do Mercury and Saturn. What are the results?

 

Mercury's argala shows that he may be intellectual in nature. Saturn's argala on

lagna can make him humble. Sun's argala may make him forceful and authoritative.

How can one be humble and authoritative? Well, you can see both these qualities

in him depending on dasa and transit influences. But the dominating influence

will be Sun's, because Saturn is debilitated and weak.

 

Why did I say Saturn's argala gives humility, which is a word with a positive

spin on it? Why not introvert nature, inhibition, servile behavior etc, which

have a negative spin? Similarly, why did I say Sun's argala on dasamsa lagna

makes him forceful and authoritative in his movement in the society (which is

somewhat negative)? Why can't it make him a charming and charismatic leader

(which is positive)? The answer has to do with benefic/malefic argalas.

 

Each planet's influence on each house can have a positive spin as well as

negative spin. A positive influence, consistent with the nature of the planet,

can be exerted when it has a benefic argala. A negative influence, consistent

with the nature of the planet, can be exerted when it has a malefic argala.

 

Here Saturn owns 8th and 9th from lagna and he is a functional benefic. So his

argala on lagna can give humble nature (positive) and not servile, introvert and

inhibited nature (negative). Sun, OTOH, is a functional malefic as he owns 3rd

house and he gives a forceful and authoritative nature (negative) and not a

charismatic and charming personality (positive).

 

[Note: To find functional benefics and malefics for a lagna, follow Parasara and

not modern day savants! What Parasara taught is perfect. If it doesn't make

sense to you or if it doesn't work for you, it must be that you misunderstood

him! While on the topic of strict adherence of Parasari principles of functional

nature of planets, look for my article on "Kendradhipati dosha" (the malice of a

benefic's ownership of a quadrant) in Surya Prakash memorial issue of "The

Astrological Magazine" - Sept 1999.]

 

Another example: Madonna's D-10 has ghati lagna and Venus in Taurus and Saturn

causes argala on ghati lagna from Pisces. With Saturn being a yogakaraka (owner

of 9th and 10th) from Taurus, his argala is benefic. What does it give her?

Humility?

 

In the previous example, we were dealing with lagna. Lagna shows true nature,

arudha lagna shows perceptions and ghati lagna shows power and authority. When

we consider planets and houses, we have to choose what they stand for based on

the varga (divisional chart) at hand and the reference point at hand (lagna,

arudha lagna, ghati lagna etc). This is why classics give many qualities for the

same planet. In the case of lagna, the positive quality Saturn gives is

humility. In the case of ghati lagna (fame, power and authority), Saturn

signifies popularity among masses. So yogakaraka Saturn's benefic argala on

ghati lagna made her popular among masses.

 

Final example: Sanjay's D-24 (chart of knowledge) has a benefic argala of Saturn

on lagna and benefic argala of Sun on ghati lagna. In matters of knowledge, he

is a humble person because of Saturn's benefic argala on lagna (despite Saturn's

debilitation). In matters of knowledge, he is popular among politicians and

powerful men, because of Sun's argala on ghati lagna. As far as matters related

to ghati lagna (fame and power) are concerned, Saturn signifies mass following

and Sun signifies following in the ruling class.

 

As I keep trying to show you again and again, different divisional charts and

different lagnas cover different dimensions of human life. Attempting to cover

all those with one lagna and one chart results in ambiguity and eventually loss

of confidence in classics. Parasara wasn't fooling around when he defined

special lagnas and divisional charts. They have specific purposes. Also he did

not mention argalas for fun. They too have a purpose.

 

Hope you have learnt something from these freewheeling thoughts....

We still don't have methods that can enable us to predict these things

perfectly.

 

The correlation I showed the other day was: "If Sachin makes a century in a ODI

match, it is 8 times more likely that he is running pratyantardasa *and*

sookshma dasa of Ge/Vi/Sg/Pi at that time than other combinations". This

combination occurs only once in 9 days, but 1 out of 2 ODI centuries he made

came on such days!!

 

I haven't found how likely it is that he will make a century when this

combination occurs. Those two correlations are in different directions and

totally different.

 

He runs favorable sookshma dasas in both SL and Eng matches - the one in which

India broke records without Sachin having to perform and the one tomorrow.

Tomorrow (May 29), he will start a better phase after about one hour into the

second innings. So I hope England bats first!

 

> dasha point to ? I am sure it will be a great match. I will be watching

> are you ?

 

Yes, I will be. This will be the 6th match in this world cup that I will be

watching on big screen from the first ball to the last. Cricket never bores me!

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
