Satyam Bruyat Priyam Bruyat,

 

Dear Narasimhaji,

Thank you for a very nice write up. Just thought will check with you if the

divisional ruler indicated in the JHL, a feature that we may not have explored?

Hope we are not expecting too much to be packed into this very useful software!

vedic astrologySubject: [vedic astrology] Using Divisional

Rulers!!!!

Namaste friends,

 

I have been mostly off the list, spending 13 hours a day at work. I had a few

minutes today and quickly browsed the list. I saw a few mails on amrita

shashtyamsa. It is very good to see some people paying attention to these

important details!

 

But please note that such classification of divisional deities (or divisional

rulers) was given by Maharshi Parasara for all divisional charts and not just

shashtyamsa. For example, rulers of the ten directions (Indra, Agni etc) rule

the ten divisions of a sign as per Dasamsa (career). At the end of this mail, I

am enclosing a small description from an article I wrote for a magazine.

 

When we interpret rasi chart and divisional charts, this is the one aspect that

I see most astrologers missing. This is sad. A lot more work needs to go into

this and people need to start using these things. Parasara would not mention

them if they had no use.

 

Let us look at a simple example. A well-known astrologer, whose identity I will

not reveal, thinks that the teachings of great sages do not apply today. He

came up with his own astrological system and so many impressionable minds are

swayed by his writings. He commands good following and spreads his own views.

His students tell you that a lot of the teachings of maharshis, including many

yogas, do not work. Instead of trying to understand the teachings of venerable

Sages correctly, these people just dismiss them.

 

This gentleman has Jupiter in Pisces in the 10th house. As such, it will make

you think that he is doing excellent karma (10th) related to astrology

(Jupiter). However, if you dig deeper and look at the dasamsa ruler of Jupiter,

you will see that Jupiter is in a dasamsa ruled by Nirriti in this gentleman's

chart. This completes the picture. If you look at the description I gave below

for Nirriti, you will understand that Nirriti is a demoness, who shows adharma.

Being in 10th in own sign, Jupiter does show some activities related to

astrology and traditional knowledge, but the direction taken in these

activities is shown by Nirriti. Thus, this gentleman spreads adharma. If you do

not realize that Jupiter is under Nirriti's control as far as activities

(dasamsa) are concerned, you will not get the complete picture!

 

On this auspicious day of Pournima (Full Moon day), I want to advise all to pay

attention to the divisional rulers of planets in various divisions. You can get

all the definitions from BPHS. This is a very important aspect of judging

charts.

May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha

 

PS: Tonight is another good time to do Satya Narayana vratam. Anybody who wants

to attend it at my home is welcome to call (508) 839-1218 and drop in at 7 pm.

We'll be glad to have you. Those who want a simpler alternative to the vratam

can take bath and chant "Om Namo Bhagavate Satyadevaaya" 108 times. Take a vow

to speak truth and pray to Satya Narayana (or Satya Deva), the embodiment of

Truth, on this Full Moon day. His blessings will take one to the highest loka

of Satya Loka.

Indra: Indra is the king of gods. He symbolizes power and authority. Planets in

Indra's dasamsa indicate activities related to power and authority.

Agni: Agni is the god of fire, which represents all the transformational energy

of the universe. Agni does not just represent the physical fire that our eyes

can see. There is a transformation involved in many things. Examples are

digestion of food and understanding knowledge. The energy facilitating that

transformation is represented by Agni. Planets in Agni's dasamsa indicate

activities involving transformation. They can show engineers, designers,

legislators etc.

Yama: Yama or Yama Dharma Raja is the god who upholds dharma. He is responsible

for taking the lives of living beings. Planets in Yama's dasamsa indicate

activities related to enforcing rules and meting out punishment. They can show

policemen, soldiers, judges etc.

Nirriti: Nirriti is the daughter of Adharma and Himsa (violence) and mother of

Bhaya (fear), Mahabhaya (great fear) and Mrityu (death). She presides over

fear, calamity and death. Planets in Nirriti's dasamsa indicate activities

related to irreligiousness and adharma. They can show illegal and rebellious

activities.

Varuna: Varuna is the god of waters. Planets in Varuna's dasamsa indicate

activities related to patience, persistence, and travel.

Vayu: Vayu is the god of wind. Planets in Vayu's dasamsa indicate activities

related to strength and gaining strength.

Kubera: Kubera is the god of wealth. Planets in Kubera's dasamsa indicate

activities related to money.

Isana: Isana is a form of Shiva, who presides over religiousness and knowledge.

He gives very auspicious results. Planets in Isana's dasamsa indicate

activities related to religiousness, righteousness and knowledge.

Brahma: Brahma is the creator. While the eight deities mentioned so far rule

directions in the two-dimensional space, Brahma and Ananta rule the two

directions in the third dimension. They both show expansive and pioneering

activities. Brahma rules over the downward direction. Planets in Brahma's

dasamsa indicate activities related to digging deep and finding truth. For

example, scientists go deeper and deeper to understand the mysteries of

universe.

Ananta: Ananta means the endless and infinite one. He is a form of Vishnu. While

Brahma represents rajoguna, Ananta represents sattwa guna. Digging deeper and

deeper is the rajasik approach represented by Brahma, while rising higher and

higher is the saattwik approach represented by Ananta. Planets in Ananta's

dasamsa indicate activities related to spiritual rise and upliftment.Archives:

Dear Narasimha Ji

 

It was nice to see the importance of each division being considered

after verifying the Rashi.

Similar to the ruling dieties there may be numerous other indications

to check for the significance of that particular division.

 

Divisional charts are really important and the key lies in the way

one interprets it.

With the frame of refernece as lagna in the Rashi - each and every

subsequent indication like 64th navamsha ,22nd drekkana, or any other

could be deduced.

 

All the confusions have arisen because of the basic understanding of

the term Varga or Division.

 

When we understand that Varga in astrological terms, refers to

Division of a Sign (as per Parashara) all dark clouds will vanish.

 

D-1 is also a divisional chart why?

 

It represents division of each sign in Rashi by 1 or in other words

each sign in full (as division by 1 will not make any difference).

Similarly D-2 represents each sign in rashi divided by 2 and D-3

represents divison by 3 and so on.

 

The usage is - A particular division in each sign has a

significance.10th division in each sign refers to Karma or profession

and 9th division in each sign refers to Dharma.The one related to

diety ruler mentioned by you helps us in identifying one of the

importances or significance of a division.

 

Thus Rashi is the broader and the main division from which all other

divisions can be deduced.Various vargas are nothing but grouping

together of planets based on the type of division to see the specific

indication.The main Canvas is Rashi.This will make us have a complete

picture.The sum of independent parts never makes the whole.The whole

has to be seen in full to comprehend.

 

The aim should be to note down the various methods for analysing the

divisional indications.Narasimha ji your good knowledge in sanskrit

and astrology can be used as an advantage here.

 

For example divisions of planets in combustion are treated bad by

parashara.This is a good rule.Here combustion is referred to in Rashi

and hence it clearly reiterates the frame of reference as rashi.At

the same time the divisions of planets which lords kendras or trines

to AL are good divisions.Again AL is referred to in Rashi.

 

Understanding the pure meaning of Varga will be the greatest

understanding as far as the usage of Divisional Charts are

considered.
