Info about Moksha combination (related to the Rational Thinking post)

[Guest guest]

Dear all especially PVR guru,

You very right ly pointed out the fact that we should do a sanity

check to see how probable the occurrence of a combination is

before pronouncing it as the determinant of a particular

condition/event. I do this all the time but dont always end up

satisfied.

 

In exactly this vein, note that the frequently cited combinations for

Moksha are:

1) Karakamsa in Pisces (a variation I have heard is

Karakamshaka in Pisces)

2) 4th or 12th from Karakamsa has Ketu. Additional things I

have heard is that this sign (4th or 12th) from Karakamsa should

be a saatwik sign e.g. Pisces or Cancer.

 

Now looking at the first combination, the probability is 1/12,

right? i.e 8% (I havent done a detailed conditional probability

study - just assuming everything is independent)

Looking at the second combination, again, assuming everything

is independent, 16% of all people would have Ketu in 4th or 12th.

If you additionally put the Pisces and Cancer limitation, you cut it

down to about 3% of the population.

 

However, all these numbers sound way too high to me (even 3%

is too high). Even if you look at many charts blindly and apply

these rules, you will see a number of people seemingly headed

towards Moksha - people you would not ordinarily suspect - e.g.

George W. Bush has Ketu in 12th from Karakamsa. So

obviously there are other combinations which are FAR more

strict that these ones - why are these ones cited then, and what

are those more strict combinations? Realistically, we should

see these moksha combinations in about 1 in 1 million people

i.e. 0.0001% or less. In a related point people with Rahu

Atmakaraka should never achieve Moksha because they can

never have Ketu in 4th or 12th from Karakamsa. Realistically, we

know this is not true.

 

Thank you,
