East... an opinion sought

Hi all,

 

I was yesterday messing with another Group about the lagna and its

retrogression, and the air got understandably sepulchral :)

 

Anyway, that prompts me to ask something that I've not found an answer

to yet. Since the lagna is what rises at the eastern horizon, what on

earth is east?

 

Assume that I live in this cute Russian port city of Murmansk, and

it's the middle of a deep and dark December, with no rasi likely to

rise in the east until late spring...

Dear vernalagnia ji,

Everybody knows about the 4, 8 or 10 directions. :)

4 - North, East, West, South [NEWS!]

8 - 4 sides, and 4 corners

10 - 4 sides, and 4 corners, Up, down.

So for sure you are not asking about it for sure. ;)

But your question seems to be of a different spirit. :) If I could put

it other words, " If the earth is round, and since earth is a globe that

revolves around the sun in this vast sky, sun and the solar system

itself is just part of this unimaginably vast universe, then what is

the importance of directions, especially in horoscope? If the concept

of directions itself only exists in the limited brain of the local

human being, then what is the point in casting destiny based on that? "

I think this is the question that is lurking in your mind. :) I that I

got it right. :)

Before answering that question, let us first consider the situation of

the saints who created this system. They were trying to study the

movements in the sky and was trying to correlate with the rhythm of

destiny(events and changing situations in life related to time), just

like we look at the watch to know the time. Watch does not CONTROL

time, so as planets does not CONTROL destiny. (It is just an example

for clarity). Now coming to the study of movements of heavenly bodies

in solar system (our limited universe), the movement of earth itself is

more important to us than the movement of any other planet or the

satellite that is moon or the nods Ra and Ke. Earth has 2 types of

movements, 1) Rotation around Sun and 2) Revolution (we add the concept

of an imaginary axis to grasp it).

1) Rotation of earth around Sun

-----------------------------

Due to this only the months change, and the climate in earth is

related to it. Viewing from earth, this change could be associated to

the FELT movement of Sun, to the northern and southern hemisphere. Yes,

the yearly rotation of the sun is depicted in the horoscope as the

movement of Sun through the Rasi chakra (Zodiac).

2) Revolution of earth

--------------------

It is a more important movement to us than the previous one (since we

live in this earth itself) :) The day and night is directly related to

this as you know. So they need some system to depict this movement.

Viewing from earth, this change could be associated to the FELT

movement of sky in eastern horizon. (I don't think, there would any

difficulty for any learned person in locating the east from where he

stands on earth. The general - not fully correct - statement is that it

is the direction where the sun rises). Yes, the daily revolution of

earth is depicted in the horoscope as the movement of Lagna (Asc)

through the Rasi chakra (Zodiac). By the way Rasi chakra or Zodiac

means the total sky AROUND earth.

So in essence, speaking scientifically, Lagna (i.e. eastern horizon

related to, or as seen from that place) should be associated to

the 'Angle of revolution of earth related to that place'. I think it is

clear.

In the light of this knowledge, I think the importance of your

question vanishes, and also the knowledge and sincerity of the saints

who created the system of astrology gets reflected. :) Now do your

homework and come forward with some new idea related to this,

clarifying things for the benefit of us all. :)

-------------------

PS 1: Please look at your short question and the length of my answer.

(It is not just particular to me but to all who is trying to answer the

queries put forward) If just reflects the effort, one has to take in

explaining things. (Not me, but any one who is answering any type of

queries) The person who is asking (or demanding) answer should

understand this and ask only relevant questions and should depict the

effort he has put in that direction before expecting the answer.

At times, the persons who post the queries fails to understand this,

and the question might go unanswered. It may happen to people who are

sincerely posting genuine questions, since they fail to reflect their

true intentions, of posing the question in the message. In such

instances usually he is supposed rectify it and amend it in the

subsequent postings.

[it is usually an untold rule followed in all the forums. It is just

that I am putting it in words. :) ]

As I told, the above is important only " to the persons who post the

queries " , and not in discussions. In discussions, there is KNOWLEDGE

SHARING as new inputs and ideas comes from BOTH SIDES. In other

words 'query' is an one-way process, while 'discussion' is a two way

process of knowledge sharing. Respect, co-operation, friendship, heated

arguments, opinion difference and non-personal enmity (at times people

stretch it to personal level as well) etc are the result of DISCUSSION

METHOD, while Guru-Sishya relation or Challenger-Undertaker relation is

the result of QUERRY-ANSWER METHOD. This groups are DISCUSSION FORUMS

and so the first method is appreciated and expected almost by all (at

least who understand the relevance of 'discussion forums' properly). :)

I hope you are such an individual and a worthy member of this

discussion forum and not a mere query poser. :)

PS 2: There is nothing wrong in the Guru-Sishya or Challenger-

Undertaker relations, but I don't think that is the spirit of the

discussion forums. ;)

Eagerly waiting for your reply.

Love,

Sreenadh

" Do your homework " is the most difficult part for me ;)

My question stems not with any hidden motive - I'm incapable of that

:) but from wanting to know how to apply the concepts of our sages

universally. I've seen cases where the lagna hangs around interminably

at one point, jumps across rasis, runs backward... the whole lot. To

Namaskaar Sri The concept of destiny is in the human mind and therefore, the directions exist outside. Yat pinde Tat Brahmande. I wouldn't define a being as a horoscope. A being is much larger than the horoscope or the Ascendant that rises in it. That the being does not recognize this fact and remains identified with the " horoscope " is the error. For those who remain identified, the east is east - individual and outside. I hope the above helped.Thanks and RegardsBharatOn 5/10/06, vernalagnia <vernalagnia

Dear Bharat ji,

" Yat pinde Tat Brahmande " . That is a beautiful concept that I

cherish always. :) The unanimity of the microcosm and the macrocosm

and their dace together (the rhythm) is a beautiful concept, and is

the foundation of almost all the Holistic knowledge streams that

originated in India! At times I feel that it is this concept, and the

Sankya phylosophy that give rise to most of the knowledge streams

like Astrology, Ayurveda, Vastu, Music and the like in India.

I totally agree with those statements. Thanks for this very good

lesson and thanks for putting it in clear words, without ambiguity,

in a way anyone could understand.

The 'individual' (Not 'person' - the word 'person' originated from

the greek word 'persona' which means 'mask') is more important than

horoscope, Ascendant or anything else - since he is the adobe of the

presence of the divine (call it 'atma' or anything else).

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear vernalagnia ji,

> my potentials are as preset as the avenues available for me to

> harness them, if at all.

I don't think ancient astrology is that much deterministic! It gives

equal weight to " destiny and will " . The over importance assigned to

destiny came only after the incorporation of Karma theory into

astrology, I feel.

> And since astro is all about the sync between planets and

> mankind,

No! Neither I said so nor I agree with it. Or did I get that

statement wrongly? Astrology is all about the rhythm (or wave or

frame) of time that influence anything. There is no concept that the

planets " Influence " or control us! But WE USE the movement of planets

as a TOOL to understand the rhythm of time (or call it destiny) that

influence us. Influence of destiny - yes, it is only to an extend,

since we have the free will, (or some switch execute the unknown

power of chance) with us. That is why the future is not at all fully

predictable - No, not even for brahma - says astrological classics.

But yes, partial predictions (as far as future is concerned) and

giving possible indications about the future trend are always

possible.

> we've also the need to understand the darned minutiae :)

No – not necessarily. The sages ask us to predict the future based on

Adhana, BT (5 or more types of BT are approved by the classics).

Future is predicted based on marriage time or even death time! For

girls, predictions are given even based on the date and time of first

menses. So what you think the generalized conclusion would be? I

think it should be the statement – " Future of an individual can be

predicted based on any moment that is closely related to him " or in

other words, " any event that strongly influence him " , since such a

moment can reflect the rhythm or pattern of destiny that person would

get influenced with. It is like basing our study on part of the wave

to get an idea of the future path of motion of the same wave. BT is

just one of the selections in this regard, since it is one of the

most important events in the life of a human being. If BT is un

available, we should resort to the time of any other very important

moment in that persons life, for having an idea about his future – I

feel. Yes, I can quote many evidences and classical proofs in this

regard to support the argument that saints thought in this direction,

though a statement clearly stating the same is not available.

> I've seen cases where the lagna hangs around interminably

> at one point, jumps across rasis, runs backward... the whole lot.

:)) You are pointing to the current state of astrology, with numerous

Ayanamsas and I agree to that. :) But I personally have resorted to

Chandrahari Ayanamsa, it is the only one which is based on ancient

Sanskrit classics (It is based on Surya sidhanta), and also the only

one which gives a sound and logical mathematical proof for the

selection of that point (i.e starting point of Aries). You may not

feel the same, and there would be many with a different opinion in

support of Chitra paksha Ayanamsa or the like – but its my personal

opinion.

> You can make a classy teacher :)

Thanks for the complement. :) By the way, I was a teacher for some

time. :)

> My question stems not with any hidden motive ………….

> I'm nothing if not honest, and I can assure you that I've done my

Thanks for that sincerity shared. I apologize if any of my comments

hurt you even to bit. Sorry.

> undertaker? :) :)

I meant to indicate the person who undertakes the challenge. But you

know I am not that good at English. :) After seeing your comment, I

looked in the dictionary and alas! I found –

undertaker (n) =. Professional funeral organizer !!!

It is just contrary to what I intended, and Phew…….! What type of

English I am using!!! Calling an astrologer who is ready to undertake

the challenges (that are put forward) as undertaker will make him run

away from this group!!! Still I hope that you understood the real

meaning I wanted to convey - I meant the person who is ready to

undertake the challenges by that word. I apologize for the poor

standard of my English. :)

> From what I've noticed, astrology has sadly the biggest set of

I can assure that it won't happen from me. I assure you that, as

long as somebody is not becoming personal with you and you are not

becoming personal with some body, nobody is going to intervene in

healthy discussions with or in other words till then there is no

moderator for this group. And the moderator dies and become non-

existent at the moment the discussions takes the healthy turn. As you

know, I am just a member, and not a moderator, he is yet to come to

life for this forum. :)). And I am happy about that. So feel free to

express your opinions, even if it is totally against the general

views – I assure my support. :)

> I'm incapable of holding a discussion but like I said,

> I'm not dishonest about that.

I don't think so – and the proof is also against that!! You have

already entered into the discussion method, by this single mail

itself!! Going by the first part of your mail, mentioning `nadi

leafs', `destiny', `importance of the accuracy of birth time' etc, I

feel like saying a `Thank you' to the lessons taught!! No it is not

feeling like saying thank you – I express my sincere gratitude for

posting such a very good mail.

> Guess I'll step back to lurk mode :)

Please don't. We still want you here as an active member of the

discussions, pouring in sincere inputs.

> And thanks for getting

> me started ;)

Once you start, you have to stay. ;) We usually bind people with

love. :)

Love,

Sreenadh
