Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Namaste Pankaj ji, Each planet has one specific degree as its Mrityu Bhaga (death-inflicting degree) in each sign. For Rahu, MB in Aq is the 18th degree. For Moon, what you said is correct, i.e. MB in Aq is the 5th degree, if one goes by Phala Deepika. If one goes by Jataka Parijatam and Sarvartha Chintamani, Moon's MB in Aq is the 20th degree. For those who understand C and C++ computer languages, here are the complete tables defining the MB of each planet in each sign: // As per Jataka Parijatam and Sarvartha Chintamani: double MrityuBhagaDegree1 [NUM_RASIS] ={// Ar Ta Ge Cn Le Vi Li Sc Sg Cp Aq Pi { 20, 9, 12, 6, 8, 24, 16, 17, 22, 2, 3, 23 }, // Sun { 8, 25, 22, 22, 21, 1, 4, 23, 18, 20, 20, 10 }, // Moon { 19, 28, 25, 23, 29, 28, 14, 21, 2, 15, 11, 6 }, // Mars { 15, 14, 13, 12, 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22, 7, 5 }, // Merc { 19, 29, 12, 27, 6, 4, 13, 10, 17, 11, 15, 28 }, // Jup { 28, 15, 11, 17, 10, 13, 4, 6, 27, 12, 29, 19 }, // Ven { 10, 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, 3, 18, 28, 14, 13, 15 }, // Sat { 14, 13, 12, 11, 24, 23, 22, 21, 10, 20, 18, 8 }, // Rahu { 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22, 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14 }, // Ketu { 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14, 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22 }, // Mandi { 1, 9, 22, 22, 25, 2, 4, 23, 18, 20, 24, 10 } // Asc}; // As per Phala Deepika double MrityuBhagaDegree2 [NUM_RASIS] ={// Ar Ta Ge Cn Le Vi Li Sc Sg Cp Aq Pi { 20, 9, 12, 6, 8, 24, 16, 17, 22, 2, 3, 23 }, // Sun { 26, 12, 13, 25, 24, 11, 26, 14, 13, 25, 5, 12 }, // Moon { 19, 28, 25, 23, 29, 28, 14, 21, 2, 15, 11, 6 }, // Mars { 15, 14, 13, 12, 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22, 7, 5 }, // Merc { 19, 29, 12, 27, 6, 4, 13, 10, 17, 11, 15, 28 }, // Jup { 28, 15, 11, 17, 10, 13, 4, 6, 27, 12, 29, 19 }, // Ven { 10, 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, 3, 18, 28, 14, 13, 15 }, // Sat { 14, 13, 12, 11, 24, 23, 22, 21, 10, 20, 18, 8 }, // Rahu { 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22, 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14 }, // Ketu { 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14, 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22 }, // Mandi { 1, 9, 22, 22, 25, 2, 4, 23, 18, 20, 24, 10 } // Asc}; May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha-------------------------------Free Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro.home.comcast.netFree Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAstrologer.org------------------------------- , "Pankaj" <ssa@n...> wrote:> Is it so that MrityuBhags for different planets are defined differently> for each Rashi.
