Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Dear Allen, As I'm sure you know, aspects of nodes are surrounded by controversy. Due to the fact that they're not physical planets at all, traditional astrologers afford no aspects to them. This is the view I hold to! It would be preferable therefore to advise novice astrologers that any nodal aspects are the view of some astrologers only and not a hard and fast rule. More information on aspects of nodes can be found here: http://jyotishvidya.com/nodes.htm Best Wishes, Mrs. Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com jyotish-vidya ___ - " Allen " <jyoteekat <jyotish-vidya > Tuesday, September 18, 2007 9:34 AM Re: Graha dristi Dear Sejal: Drishti are aspects and they are categorized as partial and full. In Jyotish, we are generally only concerned with the full aspects. Each Graha aspects fully the seventh house, reckoned from its position. In addition to the seventh aspect, Grahas posited outside the orbit of the earth, as well as Rahu and Ketu have additional special full aspects. Mars aspects fourth and eight houses from its position. Saturn aspects the third and tenth houses from its position. Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu aspect the fifth and ninth houses from their position. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I would like to highlight that - There is no consensus on the graha drishti's of Rahu and Ketu as they are only chaya grahas and not physical grahas. Some people use graha drishti for Rahu only and none for Ketu with the logic that Ketu does not have a head and hence no drishti. Rahu and Ketu influence the grahas they are conjunct with and the houses and lords of nakshatras they occupy.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Dear sbmaheta (?), All planets, including Sun and Moon (but excluding the nodes), aspect the 7th house from their position - the house opposite. In addition to this, Mars also aspects the 4th and 8th from himself; Jupiter further aspects 5th and 9th from himself, whilst Saturn has further aspect on 3rd and 10th... The table here http://jyotishvidya.com/nodes.htm was given in an earlier mail.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Dear Allen, ///Suffice to say that every worker must come to their own opinion on the subject,/// Indeed, this is the point exactly :-) Just taking the time to advise that, (even) amongst traditional astrologers there are differing opinions in relation to nodal aspects, would help to avoid misunderstandings. I would think that, because it IS such a controversial topic, it would be prudent perhaps just to add; " my opinion is " ...

I would not go so far as to say all classical/traditional astrologers do not hold this view. The Chaya Grahas are not physical planets that is true, but are Dieties none the less. BHPS 1 " 3-4. The unborn Lord has many incarnations. He has incarnated, as the 9 (Nava) Planets to bestow on the living beings the results due to their 10ths. He is Janardana. He assumed the auspicious form of Planets to destroy the demons (evil forces) and sustain the divine beings. " " 5-7. From Sun came the incarnation of Rama, from Moon that of Krishna, from Mars that of Narasimha, from Mercury that of Buddha, from Jupiter that of Vamana, from Venus that of Parashurama, from Saturn that of Kurma (Tortoise), from Rahu that of Varaha (Pig) and from Ketu that of Pisces (Fish) occurred. Incarnations other than these also are through the Planets. The beings with more Paramatm & #257; & #324; & #347; are called divine beings. " I was taught early in my studies by my first Jyotish guru,who was a traditional astrologer and wore out many copies of the Brihat Parashara Hora Sashtra by Maharishi Parashara, to use the special aspects of the Nodes. I don't have the time or energy to explain in full his teaching, or my examples of why I know they work. Maharishi Parashara does not directly state this principle, but I believe it can be inferred from careful reading, and then there are the oral teachings from my Gurus. Suffice to say that every worker must come to their own opinion on the subject, so we must agree to disagree. I will return to lurking as I don't wish to foster argument on the subject.
