#2 Rahu aspect

[Guest guest]

I have solved the formulae required for precise aspect of Rahu, with the help of

Gauranga's article based on BPHS.

 

FORMULATION:

 

Take the absolute difference of longitudes between Rahu (here aspecting planet)

to any planet under aspect. Let "D" be the difference and "A" be the obtained

planetary aspect (in virupa) cast by Rahu on the concern planet. Get the value

of precise aspect, subject to in which interval the obtained angular difference

"D" fall. Where the 'D' ranges from 0 to 360 degrees.

 

 

Range of Dif.

Aspect by Rahu

0----15

A= 0

15----30

A= 4D – 60

30---60

A= 105 – (D+ D/2)

60----90

A= D – 45

90---120

A= D / 2

120---150

A= 180 – D

150---180

A= 2D – 300

180---210

A= 150 – D / 2

210---240

A= D – 180

240---270

A= 300 – D

270---300

A= 150 – D / 2

300---360

A= 0

 

EXAMPLE:

 

Let the Sun is at 28*09'04'' of Libra (= 208.1509) and Rahu is at 00*17'03''

Virgo (= 150.2840). Take the difference from aspecting planet to aspected

planet. We get 58.8669 in this case. Now find in which interval 58.8669 is

falling, and take its corresponding aspect formulae. Here D=58.8669 is fallen

between 30 to 60, we have relation 105 - (D + D/2). Thus 105-(58.8669 +

58.8669/2) = 18.1996.

 

The obtained 18.1996 virupas (out of 60 virupas)is the value of precise aspect

casting Rahu on the Sun. Convert it into percentage just divide it by 0.6, that

is (18.1996/0.6) = 30.3327%.

 

Hence if looking apparently Rashi chart (Rahu in Virgo and Sun in Libra), Rahu

casts full (100%) aspect on Sun. But the precise working says Rahu is only

partially aspecting the Sun upto 30.33%, which obviously change the analysis.

We can work out precise aspects for all grahas and house cusps in a similar

fashion.

||| Hare Rama Krishna |||Dear Muhammad, Allow me to share some of my

understanding. The references may seem to contradict each other. However, one

has to decipher how the learned Maharishis used them (graham / rashi) , and for

which chart(s). We had a Weekend Workshop last year in NJ regarding Drishtis,

and I can try to dig up some notes for us. However, BPHS (translation) does

clue us in a little with calculations. (Check exact Shlokas)Hope some of this

helps. Good discussion. Nitin.|| Namah Shivaaya ||Ch. 8. Drishtis of the

Rashis1-3. Rashi Drishtis. O Maitreya, now detailed are the Drishtis, emanating

from the Rashi Mesh etc. Every Movable Rashi drishties the 3 Fixed Rashis,

leaving the Fixed Rashi adjacent to it. Every Fixed Rashi gives Drishti to

the 3 Movable Rashis, barring the adjacent Movable Rashi. And a Common Rashi

gives a Drishti to the other three Common Rashis. The Grah in a Rashi gives the

same Drishti, as the Rashi (in which the Grah is) does.4-5. Dristhis of the

Grahas. A Grah in a Movable Rashi gives a Drishti to the other 3 Fixed Rashis,

leaving the Fixed Rashi next to it. A Grah in a Fixed Rashi does not give a

Drishti to the next Movable Rashi, but the remaining 3 Movable Rashis. The one

in a Common Rashi gives a Drishti to the remaining 3 Common Rashis.

Simultaneously a Grah in the Rashi, that receives a Drishti, is also subjected

to the Drishti concerned.6-9. Diagram of Dristhis. As depicted by Lord Brahma,

I now narrate the diagram of Drishtis, so that Drishtis are easily understood

by a mere sight of the diagram. Draw a square, or a circle marking the 8

directions (4 corners and 4 quarters thereof). Mark the zodiacal Rashis, as

under: Mesh and

Vrishabh in East, Mithun in the North-East, Kark and Simh in the North, Kanya in

the North-West, Tula and Vrischik in the West, Dhanu in the South-West, Makar

and Kumbh in the South and Meen in the South-East.Ch. 26. Evaluation of

Drishtis of Grahas1. O Glorious, it is said, that Drishtis (of Grahas) and

their strengths are to be known in deciding the effects. How many kinds are

these? Please clarify doubts.2-5. Drishtis of the Grahas. O Brahmin, I have

earlier stated Drishtis, based on Rashis. The other kind is between Grahas,

which I detail below. 3rd and 10th, 5th and 9th, 4th and 8th and lastly 7th. On

these places the Drishtis increase gradually in slabs of quarters, i.e ¼, ½, ¾

and full. The effects will also be proportionate. All Grahas give a Drishti to

the 7th fully. Úani, Guru and Mangal have special Drishtis, respectively, on

the 3rd and the 10th, the 5th and the 9th and the 4th and the 8th. The

ancient preceptors have explained these, which ordinary. By subtle mathematical

calculations these Drishtis will have to be clearly understood, as under.6-8.

Evaluation of the Drishtis of the Grahas. Deduct the longitude of the Grah (or

Bhava), that receives a Drishti, from that of the Grah, which gives the

Drishti. If the sum exceeds six Rashis, deduct the sum again from 10 Rashis.

Convert the latter sum into degrees and divide by two. The resultant product is

Drishti Kona (or aspectual angle). If the difference is in excess of 5 Rashis,

ignore the Rashis and multiply the degrees etc. by 2, which is the value of the

Drishti. If the difference is in excess of 4 Rashis, deduct it from 5 Rashis,

and the resultant degees etc. become the Drishti value. If the difference is in

excess of 3 Rashis, deduct it from 4 Rashis and (increase 30 by) halve the

product to get the Drishti value. If the difference is above 2 Rashis, ignore

the

Rashis and add 15 to the degrees etc. to get the Drishti value. If it is in

excess of one Rashi, ignore the Rashis and divide the degrees by 2 to get the

Drishti value.9-10. Special consideration for Úani's Drishtis. O Brahmin, if

Úani is the Grah, that gives a Drishti, find out the difference between him and

the Grah, that receives the Drishti; if the sum is above 1 Rashi, multiply the

degrees etc. by 2 to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above nine Rashis,

the degrees to elapse be doubled to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above

2 Rashis, the degrees etc. be halved and deducted from 60. If the sum exceeds 8

Rashis, add to the degrees etc. a figure of 30 to get the Drishti value. In

other cases, the sums be processed, as explained earlier.11. Special

consideration for Mangal's Drishtis. Deduct the longitude of Mangal from that

of the Grah, that receives the Drishti. If the sum is 3 Rashis & c, or 7 Rashis

& c, the degrees etc. be reduced from 60. If it is above 2 Rashis, the degrees

etc. be increased by half of it and superadd 15. If the sum is 6 Rashis, one

Rup is the value.12. Special consideration for Guru's Drishtis. Deduct the

longitude of Guru from that of the Grah, that receives the Drishti from Guru.

If the resultant sum is 3 Rashis & c, or 7 Rashis & c, halve the degrees etc.

and increase it by 15. It the sum is 4 Rashis & c, or 8 Rashis & c, the degrees

etc. be subtracted from 60. This will be the Drishti value. The sum, being in

conformity with others than these, be treated, as stated earlier.Dear Anil and

Members,Thanks for sharing sources, that delineate aspects of Rahu and Ketu.But

the references themeself donot agree upon single result. Even Varahamihira did

not exclusively touch Rahu Ketu in his classic Brihat Jataka. Whereas some

scholars holds that aspect of Rahu

is akin to Jupiter but in reverse order or say anti-zodiacally, i.e.100% graha

drishti: 5th, 7th, 9th and 2nd house from Rahu (anti-zodiacally).75% graha

drishti: 4th, 8th house from Rahu (anti-zodiacally).50% graha drishti: none25%

graha drishti: 3rd and 10th house from Rahu (anti-zodiacally).In contrast Bepin

Behari (in his Astrology Simplified) holds regarding aspect of nodes.100% graha

drishti: 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th(zodiacally) or 9th, 7th, 5th and

2nd(anti-zodiacally).75% graha drishti: 2nd, 10th50% graha drishti: 3rd, 4th,

6th and 8th.25% graha drishti: noneWhereas you reffered (JP and BPHS);

according to which, Rahu and Ketu have Full (100%) aspect on 5th, 7th, 9th,

12th.Half (50%) aspect on 2nd,10th.Quarter (25%) aspect on 3rd, 6th.Here, I

want to ask a technical question, how to work out precise graha drishti of

nodes. Gauranga once wrote an article on it

http://www..org/learn/drishti_review.htmbut he did not give

formulae for precise aspect of Rahu.If you or any member know how to formulate

precise graha drishti then please reply.By the way, Anil you are so at home in

programming and VBA. Why you not add this option of precise aspect in your VBA
