To: Narasimhaji-BPHS Clarification

[Guest guest]

Dear Shri Narasimhaji,

 

Recently when I was re-reading BPHS, I found the following paragraph

under the chapter ISHTA & KASTHA BALAS:

___________________

15-20. Effects of a House. The strength of a House and its Lord have

already been explained. The actual effects will be a combination of

House strength and its Lords strength. If there is a benefic in the

House add the same to the auspicious effects and deduct from

inauspicious effects, which will denote the inauspicious effects. If

a malefic is in the House, reverse the process, i.e. add

inauspicious effects and deduct auspicious effects. Similarly

Aspects and Balaas. If a Planet is exalted, or with such a dignity,

add auspicious effects and reduce inauspicious effects. For

debilitation etc. it is converse. In Ashtak Varga add Bindus

(auspicious points) and deduct Karanas (inauspicious points). If a

House extends to two Râúis, the rectification will be done, as per

both the Lords. In that case, whichever Râúi has more Bindus, that

Râúi will yield more favourable results, concerning that House. If

both the Râúis have more auspicious Bindus, take the average. Thus

the auspicious and inauspicious effects of a House be understood.

What is the meaning of the sentence IF A HOUSE EXTENDS TO TWO

RASIS...

 

Does it mean that Bhavas do not start and end at Rasi junction ? Do

we need to cast a separate Bhava Chalit to know house positions of

planets? I have cross-checked both Shri GC Sharma's translation of

BPHS and Shri Santhanam's translation of the same. In both the books

it's there.

 

Request you to please throw some light on the above.

 

Thanks & Respectful Regards
