Patrice's last stand on Nodes?

August 30, 1999

Dear Patrice (and others),

I fear I may have misled you on Kala-Sarpa / Kalam-Rita requirements.

Let's do it one last time.

E.G. #1- Rahu is in House 1 (Lagna, NOT Moon-House 1 !!), or House 2,3,4,5

or 6

and Ketu is in corresponding opposite House (7,8,9,10,11 or 12).

ALL 7 Planets are on the SAME SIDE - DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SIDE OF LAGNA - of

the Node-Axis, and none are With the Nodes for "True" Kala Sarpa.

E.G. #2 - Ketu is in House 1 (Lagna, NOT Moon-House 1 !!), or House 2,3,4,5

or 6

and Rahu is in corresponding opposite House (7,8,9,10,11 or 12).

ALL 7 Planets are on the SAME SIDE - DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SIDE OF LAGNA - of

the Node-Axis, and none are With the Nodes for "True" Kalam-Rita.

Please don't hesitate to chastise me if this "Final" verdict of mine is

wrong!

P.S. I still believe that a "Part-true" KS or KR can be in effect, if a

sole Planet is with either Node, i.e. in Same House as either/both Rahu or

Ketu - the Nodes aren't known for sparing Planets in the same house as

them - they will just be somewhat milder with those Planets.

And also (as in my Rasi) you can have a Partial KS, for in my Rasi single

Planet Moon is clearly outside the Axis, but the other 6 Planets are still

feeling the weight of KS over them - L.R. Chawdhri calls this Single Planet

"Saviour" and explains it is mitigating the

KS of the other 6 Planets - this is just the opinion of an author I respect,

and not my own invention.

Thirdly, if more than 1 Planet (e.g. 2 planets) are outside the Axis, then

KS and KR are NULL AND VOID - i.e. they are NOT in operation at all.

Very best regards - Sateesh.

Dear Sateesh,

Agre Rahu Adhou ketu Sarve Madhya Graha..This is the dictum for Kalasarpa

yoga. If the Rahu and Ketu are reversed in the sloka then a different

version called kala-Amrita shows up. This is also KSY, but in a different

form and totally different flavour.

Hari Om Tat sat,
