Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Dear Vishwa Krishnamurthy, Jaya Jagannath The Vishnu Purana clearly mentions two separate zodiacs. One called Vishnu - the Sayana or tropical zodiac from where the effects of the Bhuva Loka (Antariksha) housing the planets are seen as affecting the physical process in this planet like causing rains, summer, winter etc, and the other is called Narayana -the Nirayana Zodiac that is seen for all life processes who are governed by the 33 deva's [Astavasavah (eight Vasu's)+11 Rudra+12 Aditya+Indra+Prajapati]. I hope this clears your doubt. Thus, the western system of tropical zodiac is also correct but then this is meant for seeing rainfall, earthquakes etc and not Manushya Jataka. It is like giving dog food to human beings.

Instead i'm just a student, i would like to comment a couple of things. Please, wait for the answer of some guru. ------- "Vishwa Krishnamurthy" <vishwakasi [sjvc] answers to lesson 1 sjvc My Doubts =========== I was always being told at home that the Uttarayana period begins during the time of Makara sankranthi when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Capricorn, typically on the 14th of Jan. However, as per the lesson, it seems that the winter solstice occurs on Dec 23rd after which the Uttarayana period should begin. So, I am a little confused. When exactly does the Uttarayana cycle really begin? R. [Yes, you are right about Makara sankranti, but you must remember that the seasons are determined by the tropical zodiac.] About the answer you give, this was the message we recieve from Gaurasundara prabhu: Question 3.: Most of you remained caught up in the astronomical part of things, however my aim here was to connect it with the astrological signficance. The divisions of the zodiac, i.e. Rasis and Nakshartas and D-charts indicate inanimate or non-moving objects or concepts in the chart, like houses, places, life circumstances, life areas etc. And the persons playing roles in someone's life are indicated by the planets lording those houses. For example, the 4th house indicates the mother, or rather her life circumstances, but it's Paka (the lord of the house) will indicate the mother herself, her body, etc. Also Parashara states that the Grahas are qualitative incarnations of Vaasudeva, while the rasis/bhavas are the areas influenced by them, like someone's house which represents the native's mentality etc. The other point with task no. 4 was the following: The Adrusya Rasis (i.e. sings below the horizon) indicate the pore private or intimate life areas, while the Drusya Rasis (i.e. ones above the horizon) will indicate the more common, public sides of the native's life. This will be vivid when we come to the description of the significations of the houses. So in turn, the focus of attention in the native's life is usually where the planets are. Like in a house you will look for the rooms where people are, not for the empty ones. So if someone hase most of the planets in houses 1-7 then he is more like an introvert type, not so outgoing. If the situation is the opposite, then his attention will more turn outward. Of course this is tinted by Navamsha and other D-charts positions, but it gives some clue in most of the cases. I hope this helps.
