Dear learned gurus and fellow students,

 

I am still preparing my answers for Lesson 4 but a couple of related question

has been on my mind and I'm hoping for some guidance.

 

1. Do people who have a tamasic planet as the lagna lord, or in other key

positions, tamasic by nature? Will it be more difficult for them to achieve

sattvic qualities in their life?

 

No. Couple of days ago I sent a reply to Mr.Nandan's mail, regarding finding the

personalities of a person. Please read it. Lagna, lagna lord, Moon sign and;

planets and signs influencing them are the key factors in molding a persons

personality, character and constitution. We have to consider the navamsa also,

in similar manner. Secondly, the dasa running also important. We have read it

from dasa lord or sign. Remember, Valmiki's life story.

 

2. In determining whether the moon sign or the sign containing 5th star from

moon (utpanna) are stronger, what sources of strength should be used?

If I may use my own attached chart as an example:

Follow the steps given in Gurudeva's Jaimini Upadesa Sutra translation for

determining the strength. In your case, though moon is debilitated, as you

mentioned many planets aspects it. Hence, your moon constellation is stronger

than utpanna.

 

My Moon is debilitated in the sign of Scorpio in the nakshatra of Vishakha. The

5th star from Vishaka is Purva Ashada in Sagittarius which houses Ketu in

exaltation. The Moon is aspected by Jupiter, Mercury and Sun by rasi dristi,

while Sagittarius is only aspected by Rahu. Is Scorpio, the moon sign stronger

because it is aspected by Jupiter and Mercury as in determining strengths in

Narayana dasa, or is Sagittarius stronger because it contains Ketu in

exaltation and Scorpio contains moon in a debility?

 

I greatly appreciate any guidance in answering these questions,

 

Best Wishes,

Karen
