Combustion of Ve when Retro Negation of Combustion!!!- Kapila Nadi

[Guest guest]

Dear Visti & Gurus

 

Until I joined SJVC & Varahamihira, I actually believed the same thing,

& for the same REASON, as Ernst has pointed out. The only reason

provided in SJVC for Ve' astroLOGICAL combustion to be when conjunct &

RETRO, unlike Mc, is that Ve's revolution around the Sn is in an

opposite direction to that of all the other planets. Somehow, while I

have accepted the SJVC guideline on faith, for astroLOGICAL reasons.

astroNOMICALLY, I still dont understand why the difference in direction

of revolution whould make a difference, ref Ernst's rationale (which

rationale IS what is given in many modern texts)
