Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Dear Sanjay guru Even i am saying the same thing regarding the position of sun. I presented the chart which i found in one of the astrology books. My grand father told me that Shri Rama was never materialistic and since he was a great avataar, he always considered "LOKA KALYANA" and dharma parirakshana as his first and last duty. I agree to you that sun should be in aries. But mercury can be in pisces as we all know a) Seeta devi is the most peaceful and the symbol of courage under adversity. Pisces represent these qualities. b) Isn't upapada an indicator of the nature of the spouse rather than the wealth and the associated factors. c) 7th from lagna has exalted mars.(Seeta devi was coourageous) d) depositor of seventh lord is saturn who is exalted(Seeta devi was the most humble and pios of ladies ever to take birth on earth). e) I know you use arudha a lot in your analysis, But why not the seventh house and its lords placement is given "More importance". f) Now venus can be in 10th house, as venus would be with sun giving Rama the passion for dharma and upholding the right path. g) Venus in pisces actually spils the dharma of the person. h) Rama had renounced father and brothers and kingdom for a larger cause. This itself can be explained throufh mercury's debilitation. i) I agree to your point regarding Rahu and ketu. j) Valmiki ramayana is original work onramayana and uttara ramayana was not written by Valmiki. So renouncing wife is an highly debatable issue. h) Saturn exalted and kendra from moon is sasa yoga: Saturn exalted people have no marital life.(As opposed to sansara). This itself should explain Rama's case. We need not have to explain through UPAPAPDA. regards V.Partha Sarathy vedic astrology, "Sanjay Rath" <srath@v...> wrote: > ***Jaya Jagannath*** > Dear Partha > You have presented some fine points.
