Pranapada Lagna and Rectification

[Guest guest]

|Brihaspatim Varenyam|

Dear Jay and list.

Heres an extract from the writeup i'm preparing for this weekends workshop on

Nashta Jataka. You will need the 'URW Palladio' font to read the translation

whilst for the sanskrit you will need the 'Sanskrit 99' font.

This is only 1 of the many points we will be discussing for rectification. Also

we will discuss any rectification techniques which the attendies of the

workshop wish to learn about.

Rectification of the Praëapada

Now follows the (method) of determination of the various species from the

traversal of the lagna – Mukunda Daivajïa

If there is no difference between Navamsa Lagna and Praëapada, then no

rectification is required – Translated by Mukunda Daivajïa

>From that (Moon and Navamsa Lagna are mentioned in the prior çloka) it

(Praëapada) can also be placed in trines to it. If Navamsa Lagna is different

from this, the birth of an animal is indicated. – Translated and commented by

Mukunda Daivajïa

Here we have a clear reference to the use of Praëapada’s use when rectifying the

chart. The Praëapada can be placed in trines to the Lagna or the Moon for

human-births. For other births it depends on the planet lording them. I.e. for

Birds Sun is the ruler, and hence Praëapada in trines to the Sun is required in

such cases. The other lordships will depend on the planets designated to the

various species in the Käla Chakra.

 

Question: How do we determine the birth of dogs?

 

For people who do not know their birth details its a prerequisite that Mandi be

placed strongly in the Kendra from Navamsa Lagna.

 

Question: Why Kendra and not trikona?

Question: How to determine which details are lost? i.e. is it the month? time? year?

 

Best wishes, Visti.
