Guest guest Posted December 26, 2001 Report Share Posted December 26, 2001 Dear Solai, namaste Thanks for your post on comparative importance of Rashi and Divisional charts. Not that I am a great expert on the matter but I want to make a comment based on what I read in CoVA. Your statement "if there is no indication in Rashi, the result will not be there" is straightforward and makes sense but there are some passages in CoVA which seem to indicate that phala of divisional charts overrides ( or can override) rashi results. For instance, on page 172 Sanjay Rath ji writes: "In the matter of pregnancy, the saptamsa holds the key....suffice it to say that the final result should be pronounced only after examining the Saptamsha chart as in some cases where the fifth Lord and Jupiter is very strong in a quadrant, children have been denied." Any thoughts on this? Warm regards and thanx for putting so much energy in posting and correcting lessons. Arno (b)Regarding the divisional charts, it has two utility and it has two planes. 1. Vertical plane. For example, look at the enclosed excel sheet, where the divisional charts are placed in adjacent columns, (here I have taken only drekkana and navamsa for convenience), we can place all the divisional charts like this. As marked by the pink line, a planet will run through all the divisional charts, say in the given diagram, it runs through second drekkana and 4th navamsa. Each division has a meaning and character, which you have to read from the name and from books like Brihat Jataka. So, a planet's placement in all these divisional charts moulds the character of the planet. This is the basis for Vaishishakaamsa. 2. Horizontal plane. Here each divisional chart is considered as separate chart for separate Karakatwa. Say Saptamsa is for children, followers etc., Here the planetary placement is considered as a separate rasi chart with respect to the native's children. It is not different from Rasi, it is part and parcel of Rasi chart and Rasi chart supercedes divisional chart. It is only a fine tuning. In old radio boxes, you can see a separate tuning knob. Once, we selected a station, we have to rotate this knob for fine tuning. Without pin pointing the station area, if we rotate only the tuning knob, there is no use. Similarly, if there is no indication in Rasi, the result will not be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
