Calculation of life span - some views - 1

[Guest guest]

Dear List,

 

Calculating a person's life span or learning to shortlist the

marakas in a chart per se is not wrong. It is absolutely essential

to find out the marakas in a chart and watch their behaviour in a

chart, for a considerable period. That gives you the idea and the

ability to identify the nature of the planets, how they behave or

give their results in their sub periods and in appropriate major

periods. If we know and identify the marakas, then easily you can

find out the on set of diseases or unfortunate periods such as

accident, theft and litigation. *Maraka* does not mean he is

going to kill you - as science and medicines developed so much so

that the period of Maraka could prove a period of adverse and of

simply disease giving, at the most. Since we have only two benefics

( Jupiter and Venus) and the rest are partly beneficial ( Moon and

Mercury are to behave according to their placement and associations)

and fully malefics (Saturn, Mars, Sun, Rahu and Ketu. All nine

planets can take the role of Maraka as per the lagna rising. Life is

not only the roses - less roses - more of thorns, so, less

favourable periods and more periods of trials and tribulations. Out

of that periods, a person is really, realize his worth and learn the

essential wisdom of life.

 

In fact, at a glance, there are enough combinations suggested by the

sages, to arrive at the length of life span, approximately in a

chart. There are number of mathematical methods are available for

further fine tuning. An astrologer should do this and go for

examination of other yogas. If the native is falls under the

category of " Alpayu " and an astrologer predicts that at the age of

50, the native will become a millionaire because the yogakaraka

dasha is coming at the age of 50.

 

Classics nowhere forbid the astrologers to calculate the longevity.

It is the astrologer's duty how to spell out the adversary periods,

in appropriate language, in a befitting manner and to the native's

kith and kin, if necessary, if it is an undesirable prediction.

The first and most important factor, to be kept in mind is that to

whom you are giving your prediction.

 

However, I strongly in favour of the view that no delicate

predictions (such as life span or the date of death or a fatal

accident etc..) should be given on Internet to anybody even he

claims he is an astrologer or having a sound knowledge of

astrological principles. You should have the personal interaction

with the native concerned for a reasonable period.
