Longevity Determination:

[Guest guest]

Dear Kiran. Rama,

 

Though the classics have given the combinations & methods for

determining the longevity, yet found it difficult to convincingly

apply.....in terms of determining the age.....could only conclude that

the native is alpa, madhya or poorna ayu....not much beyond it.....there

is something....more or missing on this subject.....

 

For going by that calculations....Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, Mr. Atal Behari

Vajpee, Mr. L.K.Advani should have left this world.....

 

I once did extensive analysis and posted it in VA group I think few

years before....wherein strictly Year 2006 or 2007 end should have been

fatal....but nothing of that sort happened. Inshort failed on those

three hororscopes.... { did not apply the ashtakvarga principles in that

analysis}

 

Need to find or do more work in this area.....

 

with regards,

Mantreswara's Phaladeepika has multiple methods to determine longevity.

Let us debate and discuss which method is more useful as one or methods

seem to contradict other.

 

What astrological principles in the seven fold method could Mantreswara

have used while arriving at below methods of longevity in Phaladeepika

 

Method 1:

Find out if the following 3 pairs of planets are mutualy friends,

neutrals or enemies:—

(a) The lord of the sign in which the Moon is posited and the lord of

the 8th house from the Moon sign.

(b) The lord of the Lagna and the lord of the 8th house.

© The lord of the Lagna and the Sun.

The native will enjoy Deerghayu if they are mutually friends. He will

have Madhyayu if they are mutually neutrals and will have Alpayu if they

are mutually enemies.

 

 

Method 2:

The native will be longlived (enjoy Deerghayu) if —

(1) The lord of the Lagna be stronger than the lord of the 8th house,

(2) The lord of the rising Navamsa be stronger than the lord of the 8th

from Navamsa Lagna,

(3) If the lord of the sign occupied by the Moon be stronger than the

lord of the 8th from the Moon,

(4) If the lord of the Moon's Navamsa be stronger than Ihe lord of the

8th from it.

If otherwise, the reverse will be the result.

 

 

Method 3:

Note the following 3 pairs (A) the decanate signs of the Lagna and the

Moon. (B) the Navamsa signs of the lord of the Lagna and lord of the

sign occupied by the Moon and © the Dwadasasma signs of the lord of

the Lagna and of the lord of the 8th house.

> The life of the child should be pronounced as Deergha, Madhya and Alpa

according as (a) when one of the signs in the said 3 pairs is a moveable

sign and the other is a moveable fixed or dual sign, (b) when one of the

signs is fixed and the other is a dual, moveable or fixed sign and ©

when one of the signs is a dual sign and the other is a fixed, dual or

moveable sign respectively.

 

A

Lagna Decanate sign Moon Decanate sign

B

Sign of the Lagna Navamsa Sign of the Moon's Navamsa

C

Dwadasamsa sign of the lord of the Lagna. Dwadasamsa sign of the lord of

8th.

 

 

A Moveable Moveable Deergha

Moveable Fixed Madhya

Moveable Dual Alpa

B Fixed Dual Deergha

fixed moveable Madhya

fixed fixed Alpa

C Dual Fixed Deergha

Dual Dual Madhya

Dual Moveable Alpa
