Daunted beginners, amsas and correct predictions

[Guest guest]

Daunted Beginners,

 

As you may already know, Vedic astrology is basically a study of

amsas of beings.

 

A student begins by initially studying the positions of planets in

the Zodiac divisions or 12 Rasis (the solar mansions) and the 27

Nakshatras (the Lunar Mansions). The planets energize certain points

in these mansions, and an able astrologer will be able to synthesise

his/her observation of the interplay of all the energies at this

level to predict things quite accurately. The number of factors to

contend with at this level can be quite daunting for a beginner.

 

The Navamsha is the highest level at which the divisions of the 12

rasis (divided into 9 parts) and 27 nakshatras (divided 4 parts) can

be perfectly superimposed for the first time. At this stage, each sub-

division of a rasi and sub-division of a nakshatra are perfectly

synchronised and a proper study provides an astrologer with a clear

view of the interplay of energies. (In this, it is even superior to

the Rasi chart where multiple Nakshatras are present in one Rasi and

most nakshtras extend over two rasis). The volume of data relating to

the interplay of energies is astronomical at this level and synthesis

of all the relevant factors becomes quite a daunting task even for an

experienced astrologer. Any person who gains mastery over the task of

synthesis at this level WILL be able to predict accurately always.

 

Independent use of specialized techniques may seem good to study an

issue by dissecting it for specialized scrutiny. However, in

application their independent use, while ignoring the whole can be

misleading. If we try to use single techniques while ignoring the

synthesis of the whole, our attempts at prediction, however

meticulous our analysis or rigourous the use of technique, will

always be "hit or miss" and may be frustrating. This is one reason

that the giants in the history of Indian astrology confined their

commentaries to a great extent to the rasi and navamsa.

 

Loving regards,

Arun
