NAVAMSHA OF THE SEERS.

[Guest guest]

A Catechism of Astrology, by BV Raman.

 

Question No, 70-

 

Why si the Navamsha Chakra considered as being of equal importance

to Rasi in matter of prediction ?

 

Answer by BV Raman-

 

In rasi Chakra, planets are placed according to their astronomical

positions, in the Zodiac. In the Navamsha chakra, which is considered

to be second in importance only to the Rasi chakra, the planets are

arranged according to the subdivisions in which they are found and

named in order of signs beginning from Aries. This is familiar to all

students. Beyond giving the positions of the planets and Lagna correct

to 3 1/4 degrees, an INDEPENDENT CHART IS PREPARED , and

considered ALONGWITH RASI kUNDALI. No doubt the positions in the

Navamsha Chart are imaginary if their relative positions are alone taken

into account. But we have to proceed on the assumption that the seers

who propounded the science of astrology knew more about it then we do.

They found that with astronomical accuracy, symbolism also played a

great part, and attributed equal importance to both. The Rasi Kundali is

an astronomical chart and Navamsha Chakra is a symbolical chart.

 

Question No. 83-

 

In predictions, combinations, aspects and positions etc. of Amsa,

which are imaginary factors,are also given consideration like Rasi

( which is actual). Why ?

 

Answer- This is usually a stubling block for everybody in the beginning

of the study of astrology, but easily solved, as one progresses in the

study.

 

Question No. 2

 

From which Bhava or Planet can the place or direction of one's livelihood

be ascertained?

 

Answer-

Ordinarily the 10th Bhava is the one that denotes........................

The lord of the 10th Bhava is in some Navamsha. The lord of that Amsa is

one of the planets that has major

significance........................................................

 

Hope the above brings to end some of the contemplations on the importance

of navamsha and also whether the amsas of the other Planets be seen,

apart from the Lagna.

 

Important- Vaman Shivram Aptes dictionary is good for those who do not

have time to learn Sanskrit, but just wish to know the meaning of few

Sanskrit words, of course only a fool would try to interpret a Sanskrit

Shloka with meanings of words, but better than trying to hit the air

with wild guesses. One should always seek the positive in alls actions,

rather than look for any negatives in the person who is doing hard work to

read such dictionaries and give the meanings wherever needed.

It is better to contribute with substance than appear like a judge and

criticise out of turn, is my advise to such people. learn to

appreciate wherever it is deserved and due. criticising does not

require any knowledge on the part of the person doing so,

rather bring in inputs of substance for help to resolve issues.

Bhaskar.
