divisional transits

November 9, 2005

Hi,

Without Prejudice

Let me humbly submit that, I am not very well learned astrologer in

thsi forum and read astrology with very open mind. Since, this

thread is participated by very learned members, my brief submission

sould not be contrued in argumentary sense.

The issue of divisional transit is quite interesting and thought

provoking too. Whether classics back it or not, is not the major

issue (though Deva Keralam has used this very distinctly and am

sure, must be having more references available).

Referring to classics - they do not work in true sense. for example -

at some stage of our civilization (the age when jyotish is

originated), the social values were different. For example - long

distant journey was considered painful period of life, whereas in

modern age foreign journey has positive interpretations. Likewise,

the wealth was joint and was always related to family, and in modern

age individuality has changed the definition of wealth; so is the

interpretations relating to many more day to day issues. Yes,

fundamentally, the planets, their houses, karkatava... and so many

parameters remain same with wider and many a times different

interpretations. So, we must be open to different interpretation

model and must not reject the model, just because, old classicl text

have not eleborated this.

Also, in my opinion, earlier days, most of these classical texts

were passed in gurukulas orally and not necessarily, what we read

are the comprehensive literture.

The ONLY test of any technique, can be the prediction there with.

There can be multiple (and may be overlapping) models to look into

micro analysis - e.g. nakshatra, divisional charts, KP etc. All

these theories help in drilling down the interpretation. and if so,

these drilled down micro analysis are not supportive to macro (or

say generalized) readings, but often are conclusive. Yes, it is true

that, these tehnique might require some fine tuning, but it is

always the discretion of astrologer, as to what suits them most. BUT

the crux is the ability to predict. and Prediction is the ONLY TEST.

Few tips, mentioned in devakeralam helps in drilling down the

conclusive prediction and are true in most cases. Like, I referred

the tip of transit in Navamsa chart of, sani (i read the brief note

in another mail recently) and just try to apply it consistently- and

one will eb surprised for its accuracy. So should it be contrued as

final word on it. NO, these technique can always be researched for

more fine tuned interpretation model and unless, they go through the

prediction test, will always need to be accepted prima facie

(subject to experience of individual astrologer).

Let me provide another example. In the chart, if natal guru is

transited by rahu with simultaneous transit of guru over natal rahu;

it is always a very tricky / harmful transit. (members may test this

for both rashi chart as well navamsa chart - and in my experience, i

have found it very correct, just like hitting the nail at right

point). This transit, is not mentioned in any of classical texts,

but then why should it be relied for prediction. the answer is

simple, JUST TEST IT WITH YOUR INTERPRETATION MODEL.

In my own chart, for sade sati in D 10 chart (March 8, 1967 -

Jodhpur Rajasthan, 17.40 IST 73E04 / 26N17), i suffered for career

related instability. Most astrologers, from Rashi chart, always

found the period of past 7.5 years very steady; but the turmoiled

continued and relief started pouring, only when saturn has moved

into karka (whereas, this transit is bad from moon as well lagna in

rashi chart). Members may apply their own reasoning and will find

answers.

In my humble view, let us not just reject any specific technique,

instead, let us start applying for prediction. and let this be the

only test for its validity.

jyotish principles.
