Progressions- Ramadas

[Guest guest]

Dear Ramadas,

 

At first I wanted to write off-list to you- then I realized that too

much interest for 'old progression rule in a jyotish cloth' requires

that I do that this way.

 

I appreciate your open-mindness and your interest in Nadi, Naksetra

and Progression- for the first two I am looking forward to learning

a lot from you- my chart simply cannot be understood, I've realized,

without taking them into consideration.

 

However I have serious objection to your use of day-for year

progression and their interpretation. I hope this won't make you

fell your efforts have been depreciated, since nothing can be

further from truth than that!

 

I agree that solar Arc, day-for-year progressions are truly an

elegant, always working /rear thing in astrology!!!/ tool. And I

understand how amazed you've been when discovered that. Planetary

direction WHEN happens in horoscope, NEVER fails to denote a

milestone year, in many ways MIND perhaps being the first but

outside events follow in plenty. However, with your 'Jyotish-ized'

interpretation I cannot really agree. For the following reasons:

 

1/Progressions, who knows why, work both direct and conversed.

If you say that Sa or JuR becomes direct say at 35 and that means

paid-of past birth karma etc, as I have seen so far- no dear

Rarmadas, we CANNOT make that conclusion- the most we can say is

that for reasons unknown, major shift happens along with numerous

events, etc..Because, go converse, one day per year, you'll find the

SAME happening -change of direction, but sure, at different time.

Two conclusions can be made a/ time as we know it doesn't really

exist b/ some other unknown 'rules' rule our destiny, etc..

 

2/You took into consideration ONLY Ju and Sa, and planetary chages

of DIRECTIONS happen to Me, Ve, Ma as well, with the same, AMAZING

manifestations /as those of Ju and Sa/- Why didn't you discuss that

as well, it's the same issue, isn't it? It would be much harder,

though, to apply 'jyotishized' theoretical 'explanation' and 'write

a new chapter in jyotish', but you know to well that 'easy' doesn't

always mean 'right'.

Mercury most frequently changes direction, and is therefore very

accurate timing tool- ask ANY client what 'turn' happened in their

life then, and they will think you were a 'psychic', reading them as

a book.

 

3/Change of sign also works

4/Tertiary and Minor Progressions do work, on a MORE frequent basis,

within the 'same framework of time' that, I am afraid defies and

deny 'interpretation extension' I object to now.

 

Many western astrologers, me included, are studying Jyotish now, in

search of better understanding of Life and Time. I LOVE JYOTISH a

lot and the fact that I will be using progressions, and that there

seems not to be that elegant tool in jyotish/is that right?? I am in

doubt myself/, doesn't take, not even little bit of that sacred

science that I've been mesmerized by, so far. WE do not need

to 'reconcile' 2 separate systems- it will not do just Jyotish, to

overextend inappropriately its 'cloths' to old western concepts.

 

I beg you to understand how much I appreciate your open-mildness,

mildness and unselfish sharing at all times- even this adventure to

western proves the quality I mentioned!!! I would see all other

workable tools, but with JYOTISH INTEGRITY uncompromised- and I am

sure it's your sincere intention as well.

 

I am surprised that neither Sanjay nor Narasimha, nor.. have written

on this important 'theoretical foundation' so far.

 

I am looking forward to hearing more good stuff from you, as usual!

 

Respectfully,

Anna
