A3 or A5 for writing books.

[Guest guest]

My dear Narayan,

 

Good thinking! Keep it up. One should understand the basic building

blocks of Jyotish and then apply one's intelligence to convert those

building blocks into logical constructs.

 

As far as communications are concerned, 3rd house is the primary

house. The 5th house shows intelligence, scholarship, abilities and

potential of a person. Houses from lagna (seat of truth) show the

qualities of true self and so the 5th from lagna shows the true

intelligence and abilities. However, the world cannot see them and

sees only their material manifestation. A5 shows what the world can

see as rising from one's intelligence and abilities. World may see

one's trophies or awards or scores or achievements or, as you say,

one's books and judge one's intelligence and abilities based on it.

 

A5 is an important factor in showing how one's abilities manifest in

the world (in ways that people can see). In fact, you should see a

strong Mercurian influence on A5 in the D-10 of authors. You may or

may not see a strong influence of Mercury on A3, but you should see it

on A5. Why?

 

A3 shows the manifestation of one's communications. It directly shows

the results of one's communication, i.e. articles, letters, books etc.

Influences on A3 shed light on the kind of books/articles written by

one. Jupiter's strong and unobstructed argala (intervention) on A3 in

both my and Sanjay's chart shows books on traditional knowledge.

 

OTOH, A5 in D-10 shows the manifestation of one's abilities and

potential in one's social activities. Influence of Mercury on A5 shows

that this manifestation can be in the form of writing.

 

I have Mercury in A5 in D-10. Sanjay's A5 is owned, aspected and

argala'ed by Mercury. Dr. B.V. Raman's A5 has Mercury. Prof. P.S.

Sastri's A5 in Pisces is aspected by exalted Mercury. Three of us have

Mercury's argala on A5 in D-24 too. So writing (Mercury) has a role in

the material manifestation of our abilities.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

book on A3 and its connection to writing books.

> Here's my thought process:

>

> When somebody *authors* a book, it is based on his *authority* on

the subject. The word author has connection with authority. Maybe

communication skills is also a part of it, as what ever authority they

have, has to be conveyed to the readers.

>

> For Example, the perception commonly is that a person writing a book

has a good hold of the subject. In my opinion BV Raman, Sanjay Rath

are astrologer who have authority on the subject of Astrology. The

fact that they were excellent communicators never occured or was a

secondary matter.

>

> Another Example, Last year after the Lakers won the NBA championship

under Phil Jackson, he came out with a book. His role was only

conveying his thoughts, but somebody else did the actual writing and

making the communication part clear. His role was that of a person who

had *authority* on managing stars and guiding them to championships.

> Hence in my opinion A5 should also be considered.

>

> Although using A5 I could not explain why you authored the book.
