Indications for Job Change - Nodes revisited

[Guest guest]

Dear Sumit,

 

There are types of Nodes - True and Mean. What you have used is Mean

nodes and what Swami has used is True nodes. True positions are very

accurate and precise and Mean positions are as the name signifies a

bit of an average.

 

The argument for true nodes is that they are the most accurate

positioning of the nodes. But at times they are not retrogade. Since

the nodes are supposed to be always retrogade, that becomes an

argument against True nodes. Mean nodes are always retrogade.

 

True positions of nodes became available with improvements in

technology only in the last 2 or 3 decades. So another argument

against true nodes is that Parashara could never have used them. But

that is a non-argument because Parashara's access to the knowledge

of Jyotisha was supra-intellectual and supra-technical.

 

I use True nodes.

 

regards,

Venkat.

Dear Venkat,

 

Just a quick comment before I put this computer to bed for the

night. In light of the earlier post of yours regarding the position

of dasa lord Rahu (mean node) in your 8th house being more

descriptive of this current period i.e. the dawning of your interest

in jyotish...you might take a look at Varshaphala with Rahu's

dispositor (conjunct Mercury) in 9th house...

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Dear Wendy,

 

I still have a long way to go; I don't as yet know how to handle

Varshapal charts. I am now concentrating on Rasi, Navamsa and

Vimshottari and after a while intend to proceed to areas like

varshapala. I will remember then to revisit this post to understand

your comment better.

 

But one thing is sure, I am not likely to be proud of any comment I

made about mean nodes. Thanks to you, I am now persuaded to use only

True nodes. Many thanks and regards,

 

Venkat
