Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Dear J_R jyotish clubmembers, While there is so much to ponder about in the wealth of thoughts and gemstones (ideas) that exist in classics, some of the modern thoughts have been quite intriguing too and one such has tugged at my mind too. This is the concept of dispositors or as some call these: depositors. Essentially, a planet is placed in a rashi and the lord of that rashi/sign then becomes the representative of the planet. If lagnesh saturn is placed in the 4th (e.g., taurus) then venus becomes the dispositor of lagnesh and lagna. Semantic debates have occurred around the label and other labels, such as 'surrogate', alternate, representative, secondary image etc have been tossed around. The venus in this instance will, one posits, act as the lagnesha's ally. Depending on its strength and manifest nature, it will support or not the planet that it has invited into its house! There we have another term! Lagnesha in this case, saturn, is a guest in venus' sign, so venus must be the host! The concept is attractive, but does it work in practical astrology? Final dispositor or final host (if you go with the new terminology just hatched -- is the planet that you end up with, if you consider the host's host and that host's host and so on. Let us say lagnesh mercury is in scorpio and mars is in aries. Then mars becomes the final host for mercury. Say the venus, rahu and moon in the same chart are in sagittarius and jupiter is in capricorn and saturn is in gemini and mercury as we already know is in scorpio and mars is in aries, so again the buck stops in aries and mars becomes the final dispositor. Now, what if the chart is so arranged at birth that the same planet becomes the final host, final dispositor for ALL planets in the chart? Surely, this must mean something and worthy of note and attention. I believe the concept was originally put forward by Sri Manik Chand Jain. Has anyone played around with it in charts and observed what happened in these peoples' lives? I am sure we can all have opinions and surmises about this situation, given our enormous divine creativity, but let us begin with sharing observations if any exist out there. Is it good to have a single final host? Does it not put all the eggs in one basket? If the final planet happens to be weak or malefic, is it case closed for the individual? I hope and pray, NOT!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 RRji, The spectrum of light has seven colours, if a person is intensely focussed on a single colour, the shades of other colours fade away, any person born on this earth needs to have a sprinkling of all of them to have sufficient resources to accomplish their tasks. The dispositor concept is intriguing, a single finite dispositor basically implies that only one graha out of seven sits at home and should not be a very common phenomena....but... Consider this data, however, it has been taken out of the ephemeris for a decade beginning Jan 1, 1999 to Dec 31, 2008. A sample in which Saturn is between Aries and Leo and is not dispositor in any of the days. The total data is of 3654 days. Graha rashi Total days Final dispositor (in days) Sun Leo 310 199 Moon Cn 306 148 Jupiter Sg/Pi 516 256 Mars Ar/Sc 741 471 Mercury Ge/ vi 645 271 Venus Ta/Li 676 434 Rahu Aq 544 229 That is if we take Ra as the Lord of Aquarius and treat it as a dispositor too, we have as many as 2208 days out of 3654 when a chart is likely to have a single dispositor. Leaving Rahu aside we still have 1979 days out of 3654 almost 54 % charts with single final dispositor. And then we have so many arrows in the jyotisha bow, how about nakshatra dispositors? regards rishi --- crystal pages <rrgb (AT) sprint (DOT) ca> wrote: > Dear J_R jyotish clubmembers, > > While there is so much to ponder about in the wealth > of thoughts and > gemstones (ideas) that exist in classics, some of > the modern thoughts > have been quite intriguing too and one such has > tugged at my mind > too.
