Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Om Datta Guru Dear Prafulla Bhai, Thanks for the mail and ur kind words. UR reply is well written and shows ur experience and level headedness in approaching jyotish. I for one has faltered over the years due to Internet Forums and tried to idolise many of such forums Would make this short since many sub threads have sprung up On another thread - there was technical opinion on partial aspects with reference to kalyan Varam's shloka of aspects (which are possible only in D charts). I doubt, if so many stalwarts ever applied the partial aspects in their predictions. Well - I will cover that in a new thread. SJ: I have read those shlokas again but from e book as I do not get time to refer to translation work so I can be wrong Some queries I must ask u on Partial Aspects that is the 2nd aspect 1) Has Parashara mentioned this (2nd aspect) in his BPHS 2) How many astrologers till date use the 3rd-10th, 4th-8th & 5th -9th Partial Aspects that has been given by BPHS 3) Is there even difference between the 5th & 7th or5th and 9th aspect of Jupiter, do astrologers talk about this. best wishes Sunil John Mumbai , " Prafulla Gang " <jyotish wrote: > > Dear Sunil John, > > You have posted brilliant and thought provoking posts.
