Jagannatha Hora Bug: D-20

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha,

 

I have nearly completed going through your program a second time. It is a very clean program with exceptional design. I did find another anomaly or discrepancy from normal. It is in regards to the lordship over the D-20 amsas (Vimshamsha). My source for the rulerships is the pdf file called Non-Planetary Rulers of the Divisional Charts and Parahara's Light by Michiel Boender. It is attached under the title Divisional Rulers.pdf. This title was posted on one of the Jagannath websites and is authored by Gauranga Das/Sri Jagannath Centre. The rules for determining the rulers are listed on page 28 of the article and below. He lists two sets of lords with one set of 20 ruling odd signs, and a second set of 20 ruling even signs.

 

Jagannatha Hora is only using the second set of 20 which rule over even signs. In other words, if a graha is in the first Vimshamsha of Aries, the above article (and Parashara's Light by Michiel Boender) would give rulership to Kali. Jagannatha Hora 7.02 gives rulership to Daya. This may be another case of you using a different set of rules. Please let me know if you are, and what text it is based upon so that I may make note of it. See below for the statement in the article covering the rulership of odd/even signs or refer directly to the attached article. I can sent a printscreen if you would like.

 

Best Wishes,

Ellis Gordon

 

1.11 Lords of the Vimshamsha (D-20)

The D-20 chart is one of the most interesting and most important divisional charts, as it is

connected with devotion, or religiosity of the person. Maharishi Parashara says that

Vimshamsha commences from Aries in movable signs, from Sagittarius in fixed signs and

from Leo in dual signs. Each part covers 1? 30' 00" of a Rasi. The following table lists the

lords of the 20 parts of an odd and even Rasi.
