2-& Ritu: 2/7...re..... Question of How to Know Strengths of the Planets?

[Guest guest]

Dear Ritu:

 

 

 

These rules from Jyotish are pretty straight forward. Most books will give

the exact degrees that a Planet gets 'combust', when too close to the Sun.

 

Retrograde just means that there's an 'R' by the name of the planet to

distinguish between direct and retrograde motion.

 

And the general idea is that the Planets are weaker in different situations.

 

When a planet is combust it's weaker. Think of the Sun, like a large light,

and a Planet like a little flame candle. Well, the closer that little

candle gets to the big light, the less of an effect does it have.

 

It isn't that the Planets loose any less influence. It's just in comparison

to other positions, the effect on the Earth, during transits of combustion,

or the realities of someone's chart; express this weakened situation.

 

And Retrograde, too, is not unnatural or supernatural, they just represent

the time when the Planet in it's natural orbit around the Sun,...appears to

be going backwards, in relationship to the Earth.

 

At such times, especially for such planets as Mercury, the positive effects

of each Planet are less strong.

 

There are also rules that describe when Planets are strong, too. When

they're generally in the middle of most any Sign.

 

When they're in a 'friendly' Sign, when they're in a Sign that is it's Own

Sign and when they're in their sign of Exaltation.

 

For the Moon, too, when the Moon is bigger and bigger, towards the Full

Moon, it's stronger again, both in Transits and in a person's chart.

 

The most important thing we should say, in addition, is...

 

that no matter how strong your planets are when we're born, each and every

planet is supposed to be able to strengthen.... and make stronger!

 

This is not talked about much, but to me speaks to the very essence of

Jyotish.

 

That's why I like this 'jyotish-remedies' group so much because the very

premise here, is that we can do something about our weakened or un-developed

Planets!

 

And I believe in that whole heartily!

 

 

take care
