Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Aum Namah Shivaya Dear Rajinder ji, Wonder if you mis-read my text! Just two points. There is no doubt that quite often neecha (debilited) planets can be good in a materialistic sense, due to various reasons. But that is not our topic here. I was just outlining standard Muhurta rules (not my opinion). Secondly certain principles of MUHURTA (electional astrology) and SAMHITA (predominantly mundane astrology) **cannot be mixed with *Jataka or NATAL HOROSCOPY. And I haven't given *my* opinions here about Jupiter in Leo, I have given the classic stand on this. There is no doubt regarding Jupiter in Leo. All standard texts agree with what I have written. And I have written the summary of a few standard texts. And this one is for Sriram Nayak ji- the second point here answers your question partly. Not all principles of Muhurta can be extended to Natal horoscopy. You will understand this when you study Muhurta fully. The remaining part of your question touches upon nakshatras, their deities, nakshatra padas (quarters), their rulers (the basis of navamsa chakra), and other *basics of Muhurta. So I will try to post an article on these ideas i.e. the basics of Muhurta, after a few weeks. Regards, Satya Note: Ancient Indian astrology was originally divided into three divisions which were later further classified into six divisions. Mathematical astrology, Mundane astrology, Natal astrology, Divination of Omens, Horary astrology and Electional astrology are the six divisions of Jyotish or Hindu astrology. A good astrologer is meant to be conversant with all these while he/she could specialize in some of these six divisions in order to be able to offer good counsel. While all these divisions are inseparable from each other, Horary astrology and Divination of Omens form a combined system. While all the divisions are part of one whole body, each is unique in its own way and has certain principles that should not be mixed with the principles of other divisions. Unfortunately most students are fascinated to and study Jataka largely and neglect other divisions. While some have partial knowledge of Muhurta, Sakuna is the most misunderstood of all. Very few have even studied it as a full fledged subject. Mathematical astrology (including astronomy) is also studied less. Part of the understanding of the nakshatras comes from a combined study of astronomy in the *light of the *Veda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
