Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hello Prof, Thanks a lot for the response. From another recent post relating to the conference proceedings, I see that in examples, reference to - " Placement/Affliction of that planet in Dasamsa, Navamsa etc for inferences on career, marriage etc... " I did know the theory of a planet being week in the sub divisional chart by debilitation and hence problems in that sub-period in that sphere, also that the respective divisional chart asdt needs to be considered if it was a MT sign, like Dasamsa Asdt for career. But do we have to read and interpret those charts like we do the natal, considering the angles, afflictions, malefics, bad placement w.r.t that asdt, and so on?

Hello Prof, Thanks a lot for the response. From another recent post relating to the conference proceedings, I see that in examples, reference to - " Placement/Affliction of that planet in Dasamsa, Navamsa etc for inferences on career, marriage etc... " I did know the theory of a planet being week in the sub divisional chart by debilitation and hence problems in that sub-period in that sphere, also that the respective divisional chart asdt needs to be considered if it was a MT sign, like Dasamsa Asdt for career. But do we have to read and interpret those charts like we do the natal, considering the angles, afflictions, malefics, bad placement w.r.t that asdt, and so on?
