Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Kishore, Namaskar Your absolutely correct that Moon cannot be in Punarvasu during Sukla Navami IF Sun is in Aries. Now, the tradition uses this example to prove the slokas of Satyacharya. I.e. the nakshatra of birth depends among the stronger between Moon and Lagna. You can refer to Satya Jatakam for more information on this. This would likely put the Moon in Pushya or Asleesha nakshatra in actuality, and instead the reference is to the Lagna-nakshatra being Punarvasu for Rama. This is justified being that Lagna in Cancer in Punarvasu would make it Vargottama and therefore stronger than the Moon. This is further substantiated being that on the next day the Moon had actually entered Asleesha nakshatra during which Lakshman was born. Therefore unless the Moon moved unusually fast during that time from Punarvasu to Asleesha, the Moon was likely in Pushya during Sri Rama's birth. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Dear Patanaik, > The distance between moon and sun should be more than 108 degrees. There could be some error in your calculation. Ashtami means 12 x 8 = 96 degrees. Dasmi starts with 108 degrees. Navmi is between 96 degrees and 108 degrees. Why is it that the birth took as long as 12 months? Is it that the avatars takes longer time to take birth? The learned scholers like Narasimha ji who can say that he himself is a good scholar will clarify my doubt, I hope.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 oh yeah that is a good one. there is no way the planets can be in this arrangement. I believe this illustrates how powerful rama was and therefore is just symbolism. mercury and venus can't be in their respective positions in such a case, exalted in virgo and pisces. mercury and venus always trail the sun. so what would be nice to know is why lord rama gets this symbolism. why does he get a chart where the planets are exalted. namaskar, __________ Raja G.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Dear Visti, The verse mentions the tithi and nakshatra (panchanga elements). Valmiki mentions Punarvasu as the nakshatra of Rama, Pushya as the nakshatra of Bharata and Asresha as the nakshatra of Lakshmana and Satrughna. To say that one of them is lagna nakshatra and others are Moon's nakshatras seems far-fetched to me. When mentioning someone's nakshatra, the standard practice is to mention Moon's nakshatra. I have never seen anybody's lagna nakshatra mentioned as one's nakshatra in any other scripture. If lagna is stronger than Moon, taking lagna as the seed in certain dasas is fine. But you don't mention the lagna nakshatra as the person's nakshatra. Moreover, if Valmiki did that, he would have explicitly mentioned it instead of just saying " born on Navami in Punarvasu nakshatra " . He did not even indicate clearly that Sun is in Aries. How can he expect you to guess that Sun is in Aries and hence conclude that Moon cannot be in Punarvasu and hence conclude that Punarvasu must be the lagna nakshatra? Nothing that Valmiki wrote binds Sun to Aries. Sun can be at the end of Pisces and be atma karaka, while Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and nodes are in exaltation.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Dear Patnaik ji, Point # 4 The navmi starts just after the difference of Moon - Sun longitude being 96 degrees. At the difference of 96 degrees the ashtami is complete and the navmi begins. Therefore the Sun can be in Aries and moon + jupiter in the Cancer on a Shukla Paksha navmi day. Would you consider the following placement of the planets : if you take Jupiter in Lagna Cancer Then why can't the following planets be placed as : Jupiter : Lagna exalted Saturn : 4th exalted Mars ; 7 th exalted venus : 9th exalted Sun ;10th exalted Lagna : Moon + Jupiter 3rd : Rahu 4th : Saturn 7th : Mars 9th : venus + ketu 10th : Sun + merc { mercury could be in the 9th giving rajbhang or could be in the 11th also] Sincerely, RP SINGH , " kishore patnaik " <kishorepatnaik09 wrote: > > Dear all, > > I am looking at the horoscope of Sri Rama for the past few days.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Om Gurave Namah Dear Visti, Bharata is elder to Lakshmana and was born in Pushyami nakshatra. puShye jaataH tu bharato mIna lagne prasanna dhIH |saarpe jaatau tu saumitrI kuLIre abhyudite ravau || 1-18-15 15. prasanna dhiiH= level, headed one – guileless, fair-minded; Bharata; pushye miina lagne jaataH= under Pushyami star, in Pisces [of Zodiac,] born; saumitrii= sons of Sumitra [Lakshmana, Shatrughna]; saarpe kuliire= under star presided by serpent [aaSreSa,] in Cancer [of Zodiac]; abhyudite ravau= when rising, of Sun- when sun is rising, i.e., on next day of Rama's birth, tenth of Chaitra; jaatau= they are born. The fair-minded Bharata is born under Pisces where puSyami is the star of day, and the sons of Sumitra, namely Lakshmana and Shatrughna are born under Cancer, where aaSreSa is the star of the day and when sun is rising. [1-18-15] Though I do concur with the logic you have presented, I have always wondered about the phrasealogy of Sage Valmiki about "sva uccha" ...could it be that he was referring to moon being in own house and 4 other planets, namely Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus being exalted? Otherwise, why should the Sage use such a term? Simply saying "ucche" would have sufficed. It's just a thought and I could be wrong....

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Narasimha, Namaskar Satyacharya uses the lagna nakshatra for much more than starting Vimshottari dasa. Astronomical calculations When describing the birth of Laxman and Satrughna, they are said to be born on the sunrise of the next day (abhyudite ravau) from Ramas birth. Assuming that Moon was in fact placed in Punarvasu nakshatra, it means that the Moon would have traversed from the end of Punarvasu until the beginning of Asleesha in approximately 18-20 hours, i.e. this is the maximum time from beginning of Cancer Lagna till the end of Pisces lagna. The moon at its perihelion will traverse approximately 15 degrees in 24 hours, i.e. this is the fastest speed possible. Therefore after the maximum of 20 hours (which is unlikely) the Moon would have traversed 12 degrees 30 minutes thereby barely covering Pushya nakshatra. In light of this it is highly unlikely that Rama's nakshatra is punarvasu nakshatra. What do you say? Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com Narasimha Rao wrote: Dear Visti, The verse mentions the tithi and nakshatra (panchanga elements). Valmiki mentions Punarvasu as the nakshatra of Rama, Pushya as the nakshatra of Bharata and Asresha as the nakshatra of Lakshmana and Satrughna. To say that one of them is lagna nakshatra and others are Moon's nakshatras seems far-fetched to me. When mentioning someone's nakshatra, the standard practice is to mention Moon's nakshatra. I have never seen anybody's lagna nakshatra mentioned as one's nakshatra in any other scripture. If lagna is stronger than Moon, taking lagna as the seed in certain dasas is fine. But you don't mention the lagna nakshatra as the person's nakshatra. Moreover, if Valmiki did that, he would have explicitly mentioned it instead of just saying "born on Navami in Punarvasu nakshatra". He did not even indicate clearly that Sun is in Aries. How can he expect you to guess that Sun is in Aries and hence conclude that Moon cannot be in Punarvasu and hence conclude that Punarvasu must be the lagna nakshatra? Nothing that Valmiki wrote binds Sun to Aries. Sun can be at the end of Pisces and be atma karaka, while Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and nodes are in exaltation.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Namaste friends, Many Hindus believe that Lord Ramachandra was a real person and not some myth. Of course, it is a belief and there is no proof. However, the person below too has no proof that Rama was only " a symbolism " , though he speaks in that tone. While the original mail on Rama's chart was scholarly and constructive, the gentleman below jumps to a conclusion without ANY basis. There are 2 possibilities: (1) The 5 planets in exaltation include Rahu and Ketu. Lagna, Moon and Jupiter in Cancer (with Moon in Punarvasu), Saturn in Libra, Mars in Capricorn, Sun in Pisces, Venus and Mercury in Cp/Aq/Ar/Ta, Rahu and Ketu in exaltation signs fits everything Valmiki said. (2) Another possibility is to take " swochcha " as " swa+uchcha " and interpret it as " either own sign or exaltation sign " . Then, lagna, Moon and Jupiter in Cancer (with Moon in Punarvasu), Saturn in Libra, Mars in Capricorn, Sun in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mercury in Cp/Aq/Ar/Ta, Rahu and Ketu in signs other than own/exaltation signs fits everything Valmiki said. The gentleman below jumped to a hasty (and incorrect) conclusion that there is no solution to the problem and that Lord Rama is fictitious.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Namaste, Valmiki also said that it was Punarvasu nakshatra and Navami on that day. Thus, Moon has to be in the first 3 deg 20 min of Cancer. He cannot be after 6 deg. Thus, Sun MUST be in Pisces. I am convinced that Sun in Aries is wrong. Bharata was born when Moon was in Pushyami nakshatra and Lakshmana and Satrughna were born when Moon was in Asresha nakshatra.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Om Gurave Namah Dear Visti, Namaste. Thanks for patiently forwarding your mail to Narasimha. It is indeed true that Valmiki said that Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born at sunrise. But did he say that Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born on the very next day? I have not come across any such observation in Valmiki Ramayan, but ofcourse I could have missed it out. The way I look at it, Bharata was born on the next day and Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born at Sunrise on 3rd day....I had checked and the Moon would very much be in Aaslesha at that time. I also feel that Sun in Pisces justifies Sri Rama's sweet & sattwik talk and great adherence to Truth, because the 2nd lord in such scenario, would be disposited and aspected by Jupiter and is conjunct Mercury and Venus. Sun in aries, though exalted, would be in Martian sign, powerfully aspected by Mars and Saturn...without any benefic intervention whatsoever...so speech is bound to be far more fiery and aggressive. Sun in 9th also indicates His overwhelming love for Dharma. The conjunction of Venus, the 4th Lord, would only deepen it further.

Thanks for patiently forwarding your mail to Narasimha. It is indeed true that Valmiki said that Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born at sunrise. But did he say that Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born on the very next day? I have not come across any such observation in Valmiki Ramayan, but ofcourse I could have missed it out. The way I look at it, Bharata was born on the next day and Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born at Sunrise on 3rd day....I had checked and the Moon would very much be in Aaslesha at that time. I also feel that Sun in Pisces justifies Sri Rama's sweet & sattwik talk and great adherence to Truth, because the 2nd lord in such scenario, would be disposited and aspected by Jupiter and is conjunct Mercury and Venus. Sun in aries, though exalted, would be in Martian sign, powerfully aspected by Mars and Saturn...without any benefic intervention whatsoever...so speech is bound to be far more fiery and aggressive. Sun in 9th also indicates His overwhelming love for Dharma. The conjunction of Venus, the 4th Lord, would only deepen it further.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Om gurave namah Dear Vistiji, namaskar Your points are prooving that exaltation of the Sun is possible if Moon is in Pushya nakshatra and I take that the Sun had to be in Aries in 10th house. I was wondering about the extent of the tithis. If we take the Sun being at the very beginning of Aries (let`s say 10 minutes) and Moon being at the very end of Punarvasu (3 deg. ) we are getting almost 93 degrees. Navami tithi starts from the 96 degrees. However the tithi span as you said can be 15 degrees in perihelion. This gives the possibility of Moon being in Punarvasu with Sun`s exaltation on navami tithi thus confirming sloka`s statement about janma nakshatra? abhyudite ravau menas at the Sun rise but it doesn`t confirm the very next day.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Lakshmi, Namaskar The only reference to 'the next day', i.e. the following sunrise, comes with the description of Laxman and Satrughna's birth. From this the assumption is that Bharata was born on the same day of Sri Rama. Astronomically, If we apply your assumption and say that Bharat was born the day after Rama, then 24+20 hours would pass. 20 hours is a maximum which we could shorten down to 16 hours, therefore a total of 40 hours from Rama's birth to Bharata's. Even at the Moons slowest speed of 10 degrees, 20 minutes the Moon would have traversed 17 degrees. Even if the Moon had been at the beginning of Cancer this movement of 17 degrees would put it straight into Asleesha nakshatra, and thats using the slowest motion and shortest possible time from Cancer to Pisces (8 signs * 2 hours=16 hours). So even that is not possible to justify Bharata's birth in Pushya nakshatra. In fact Bharata born on the same day as Rama, only a few hours after is the best possible justification of his birth in Pushya nakshatra with Pisces lagna. But, the following sunrise is only a few hours after when Laxman and Satrughna are born, and being that the following sunrise had Moon in Aslesha nakshatra it is unlikely that Moon was in Pushya during Rama's birth to begin with. Astrologically an exalted second lord would have given just as nice speech as the second lord joined exalted Venus. Yet, i find more importantly that if we are indeed speaking of a Vishnu avatara's chart then the ninth lord must be placed in the abhijit rasi from the Sun. That is, ninth lord Jupiter must be placed in the fourth from the Sun. Here Jupiter receives digbala and is also showing his major karma as this is the abhijit rasi. Similarly in Sri Krishna's chart, Saturn is the ninth lord and receives digbala in the seventh, where it is also in the fourth from the Sun and therefore in Abhijit rasi... surely a dharma-avatara. How do you see 'love for dharma' in a chart? More so, with Sun in Pisces, what happened to the pitri-dosha which caused his father the great sorrow of having to send him away? Dasaratha earned this bad karma due to having killed the son of another father. There are a few more important factors, such as simhasansa yoga (second lord in tenth), without which he would not become the king of Ayodhya. Rajya sambandha yoga of Rahu associated with that Sun in the tenth giving political power which is required for kings and politicians alike. Now, without Sun exalted on the arudha lagna, the lord Mars would surely take over and all those martian qualities which you wanted to avoid in Lord Rama would have become ever more prominent. Then where is the greatness of the Surya-vamsa?

Thanks for patiently forwarding your mail to Narasimha. It is indeed true that Valmiki said that Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born at sunrise. But did he say that Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born on the very next day? I have not come across any such observation in Valmiki Ramayan, but ofcourse I could have missed it out. The way I look at it, Bharata was born on the next day and Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born at Sunrise on 3rd day....I had checked and the Moon would very much be in Aaslesha at that time. I also feel that Sun in Pisces justifies Sri Rama's sweet & sattwik talk and great adherence to Truth, because the 2nd lord in such scenario, would be disposited and aspected by Jupiter and is conjunct Mercury and Venus. Sun in aries, though exalted, would be in Martian sign, powerfully aspected by Mars and Saturn...without any benefic intervention whatsoever...so speech is bound to be far more fiery and aggressive. Sun in 9th also indicates His overwhelming love for Dharma. The conjunction of Venus, the 4th Lord, would only deepen it further.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Tijana, Namaskar The tithi span cannot be 15 degrees, it is always 12.

I was wondering about the extent of the tithis. If we take the Sun being at the very beginning of Aries (let`s say 10 minutes) and Moon being at the very end of Punarvasu (3 deg. ) we are getting almost 93 degrees. Navami tithi starts from the 96 degrees. However the tithi span as you said can be 15 degrees in perihelion. This gives the possibility of Moon being in Punarvasu with Sun`s exaltation on navami tithi thus confirming sloka`s statement about janma nakshatra? abhyudite ravau menas at the Sun rise but it doesn`t confirm the very next day.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Tijana, Namaskar The translation i saw on the net gave me the impression that it was the following sunrise. abhyudite ravau consists of three words: abhi+udita+ravi. If the reference was merely to the Sun at sunrise, then it would be enough to say: udita ravau. But the word abhi is prefixed to verbs, in this case udita which means to rise. Abhi means to go towards, or approaching. I cannot say that it refers specifically to the following sunrise based on this, but the births being close together seems implied in the description of the births. Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com tijanadamjanovic wrote: Om gurave namah Dear Vistiji, namaskar Your points are prooving that exaltation of the Sun is possible if Moon is in Pushya nakshatra and I take that the Sun had to be in Aries in 10th house. I was wondering about the extent of the tithis. If we take the Sun being at the very beginning of Aries (let`s say 10 minutes) and Moon being at the very end of Punarvasu (3 deg. ) we are getting almost 93 degrees. Navami tithi starts from the 96 degrees. However the tithi span as you said can be 15 degrees in perihelion. This gives the possibility of Moon being in Punarvasu with Sun`s exaltation on navami tithi thus confirming sloka`s statement about janma nakshatra? abhyudite ravau menas at the Sun rise but it doesn`t confirm the very next day.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Dear Visti, > Assuming that Moon was in fact placed in Punarvasu nakshatra, it means > that the Moon would have traversed from the end of Punarvasu until the > beginning of Asleesha in approximately 18-20 hours, i.e. this is the > maximum time from beginning of Cancer Lagna till the end of Pisces lagna. Rama was born in Cancer lagna. Lakshmana and Saturghna were also born in Cancer lagna according to Valmiki. Though Bharata was born in Pisces lagna (mentioned by you), his nakshatra was Pushya. Thus, I am not sure who you are talking about as being born in Pisces lagna in Asresha star. Basically, Sun only has to go from the end of Punarvasu to *Pushya* (and not Asresha) in 18 hours. He has around 24 hours to go from the end of Punarvasu to Asresha. On the Navami day, Rama could be born when Moon was a little below 3 deg 20 min in Cn. This would be around the noon time and lagna would be Cancer. A little after Rama was born, Moon could have entered Pushya. On the next day, Bharata could be born in the morning when Moon was still in Pushya (3rd or 4th quarter). This would be around 18 hours after Rama's birth. Just before noon on that day, Moon could have left Pushya and entered Asresha. Then around the noon time, Sumitra's twins could be born in Cancer lagna. To explain " 5 planets in swochcha " , we could either include Rahu and Ketu or take it to mean 5 planets in " own or exaltation signs " . In all likehood, Rama was born with Sun in Pisces.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Dear Visti, Valmiki explicitly said that Bharata was born in Pushya nakshatra in Meena lagna. For Sumitra's twins, he explicitly mentioned Asresha star and Cancer. In all likelihood, Cancer was the lagna. Though Valmiki only said " in Cancer " (while he said " in Pisces lagna " for Bharata), he would not have mentioned the Moonsign as there is no need to. If somebody has Pushya star or Asresha star, Moonsign is obvious and there is no need to mention it. After all, he did not mention the Moonsign for Bharata and mentioned only Moon star and lagna's sign. In all likehood, Lakshmana and Saturghna were born in Cancer lagna with Moon in Asresha. Abhyudita, like udita, can mean " risen " as you say and it can ALSO mean " well-risen and elevated " . it can refer to Sun on the head (noon time).

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Namaste Rao ji, If Ra is in exaltation Ke also should be - is it not so? In that case 6 planets would be exalted and not five. Then how can the first choice be true? If we are taking the second choice - how to determine which planet was in which sign? If we split 'Swaccha' as 'swa+uccha' how can we know that Mars was in Aries, Capricorn or Scorpio? And how to know whether Sa was in Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius? And Venus in Pisces, Taurus or Libra? Please be kind enough to enlighten us. Your greatness may pardon - I think Raja G.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 om gurave namah Dear Vistiji, Prefix " abhi " means " going towards, approaching " when it is prefixed to verbs of motion. But the verb of motion is " udaya " and the phrase should be " abhyudaya " . " Udita " is adjective (nominal word) and when prefixed to nominal words " abhi " means " superiority, intensity " , the phrase " abhyudite ravau " thus would mean " Sun in its stenght, intensity " .

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I am sorry I didn't read the thread. please omit what I have said. I was confused with the chart of lord rama. I was told that all planets were in the exalted state for lord rama. I don't believe this to be the case. sorry for the posting. I only stated symbolism based on the chart I was given for lord rama where all the planets were exalted. if mercury is not exalted then of course this is not the case of symbolism. sincerely, __________ Raja G.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi Everyone, In September the British Association of Vedic Astrologers discussed Rama's chart and Krsn'a chart during an international conference call. Rama's chart was suggested to be Jup/Mon Cancer lagna, Sun Merucry tenth house, Venus eleventh, Saturn fourth, Mars tenth, Rahu sixth house. best wishes M - kishore patnaik vedic astrology ; ; Astro_Remedies ; ; lalkitab ; naastrology ; ; ; sohamsa ; Vedic Astrology-Hyderabad Sunday, November 04, 2007 9:24 AM Horoscope of Lord Rama Dear all, I am looking at the horoscope of Sri Rama for the past few days. I am giving below the slokas connected with the birth : tato yaj~ne samaapte tu R^itUnaam SaT samatyayuH | tataH ca dvaadashe maase chaitre naavamike tithau || 1-18-8 nakxatre aditi daivatye sva ucCha sa.nstheShu pa.nchasu | graheShu kar.hkaTe lagne vaakpataa i.ndunaa saha || 1-18-9 prodyamaane jagannaatham sarva loka namaskR^itam | kausalyaa ajanayat raamam sarva lakSaNa sa.myutam || 1-18-10 viSNoH ardham mahaabhaagam putram aixvaaku na.ndanam | lohitaaksham mahaabaahum rak{}ta oSTam du.ndubhi svanam || 1-18-11 8, 9, 10, 11. tataH yaj~ne samaapte= then, ritual, on completion; R^ituuNaam SaT sam atyayuH= seasons, six, well, passed by; tataH= then; dvaadashe maase= in twelfth, month; chaitre naavamike tithau= chaitra month [April-May], ninth, day; nakshatre aditi daivatye= star of the day [punarvasu,] [whose presiding is] Aditi; panchasu graheSu swa uccha samstheshu= of five, planets, in their own, highest, positing; karkaTe lagne= in Cancer [of Zodiac]; vaak patiH indunaa saha= when Speech's, Lord [Jupiter,] is [with] Moon, along with; pra udyamane= when raising � ascending, advancing daytime � abhijit lagna; kausalyaa= Queen Kausalya; jagat naatham= worlds', lord [Vishnu]; sarva loka namaskR^itam= by all, worlds, adored; divya lakshana samyutam= divine, attributes, along with; viSNoH= Vishnu's; artham= epitome of [not half of Vishnu]; mahaa bhaagam= greatly blessed one; ikshwaaku nandanam= Ikshvaaku dynasty, delight of; lohita aksham= lotus-red, eyes; mahaa baahum= lengthy, armed; rakta oSTam= roseate, lips; dundubhi svanam= drumbeat, voiced; raamam= Rama as; putram= the son; ajanayat= gave birth. if you carefully look at this, the following are clear: 1. The birth occured in chaitra masa on the tithi of Navami 2. The birth occured in Punarvasu nakshatra 3. The lagna is Cancer 4. Moon is in lagna The following two points are to be discussed. 1. here, the planet with which moon is there is said to be vakpati. Is it Mercury or Jupiter? Obviously, he is Jupiter since Mercury could not be with Moon on a Navami day. 2. The five planets mentioned here are either in swa (own) or uccha(exalted) positions. It should not be taken that there are five planets which are in exaltation, which seems to be popular refrain 3. These five planets are Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. While the sloka fixes the places of Moon and Jupiter, the other three planets places can be fixed only by discussion 4. Clearly, Sun can not be in exaltation when Moon is in cancer on a navami day. The distance between moon and sun should be more than 108 degrees. hence, the place of sun also can be fixed to pisces. Thus, the place of mercury is to be bound by three rasis- aqua, pisces or aries. Hence, I would post my reasoning of planetary positions after hearing from all of you. with best regards, kishore patnaik 98492 70729 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
