Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have always wondered why the directions in the chart seem to make no sense.. if the earth turns to the east (ascendant) sets in the west - how is it that the 10th house is South and 4th house (nadir) is North? When looking at a globe or a map, North is above the horizontal line dranw between two points, not below it. it does not seem to make sense -- yet mars and Sun have Dig bala in the south (10 house) and Chandra/Shukra in the North (4th house) can you explain this?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 ||Hare Rama Krsna|| Dear Sam, Namaskar During the mid-day, also known as Abhijit muhurta, we say that the Sun is in the sourthern direction. Now from lagna where is it placed? You will have your answer.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Dear Visti, thanks for your response. Yes, as i said - I know the 10th house (midheaven) is directly overhead and the sun and Mars are strong there and that direction is called South. My question is (or statement is) it seems backwards that if the east is to the right (right hand) the west toward the left (left hand) then how is it that the South (which is usually down, not up when we travel) is directly over head and the north is down, not up. I live in Seattle, to go to Canada, i travel north, up, a higher latitude,, yet in the Zodiac, The "North" is BELOW, under, straight through the bottom of the EARTH, not above relative to our worldly direction. this seems totally backwards to directions on a compass and latitude as i see it. thanks , "Visti Larsen" <visti wrote: > > ||Hare Rama Krsna|| > Dear Sam, Namaskar > During the mid-day, also known as Abhijit muhurta, we say that the Sun is in > the sourthern direction.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 ||Hare Rama Krsna|| Dear Sam, Namaskar Those directions indicated by the Suns angle to the earth are astronomical directions, and not astrological. As you yourself have inferred: the sun rises in the east, peaks in the south and sets in the west. These are horizontal directions based on the solar system and has no link to the geographical up/down directions of a map. In other words; South is not up, it is just the direction in which the Sun is placed during midday. Having your back to this Sun during midday will put your face in the direction of canada. Its purely astronomical. Your confusement lies in assigning these to vertical directions... they are horizontal.
