#2 Rahu aspect

[Guest guest]

||| 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.

Ch. 8. Drishtis of the Rashis

1-3. 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 Grahas

1. 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: none

25% 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, 10th

50% graha drishti: 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th.

25% graha drishti: none

 

Whereas 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.htm

but 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 Event-Dasha-Transit.
