Namaste friends,

 

I mentioned a while ago that an astrologer may experience phases of good

and bad predictions. D-27 (nakshatramsa) is the chart of strengths and

weaknesses as per Parasara. I said that the 2nd and 5th in D-27 show

vaag bala (power of speech) and intuition. I said that we can treat the

dasa rasi as per D-27 Narayana dasa as lagna and do this analysis for

various periods in one's life. I will give an example - myself.

 

Because the principles we use have some truth in it, we have successes

even in the worst dasas. Because the principles we use help only to some

extent and a guess has to be made finally, our successes depend on our

luck also. And our luck depends on our dasas. So we don't have the same

amount of successes always.

Birthdata: April 4, 1970, 5:50 pm (IST), 81e12, 16n15.

 

My D-27:

 

Ar - Mars; Ta - Saturn; Ge - Mercury & Jupiter; Cn - Sun & Ketu; Le -

Lagna; Sc - Moon & Venus; Cp - Rahu. (Lagna in rasi chart: Vi.)

 

Event data:

 

(1) 1998-99: I did not make many public predictions. I made just one

prediction in print and it was a disaster. I predicted very very

confidently that Clinton would be impeached. I was wrong. I was

confident, but wrong this year.

 

(2) 1999: I wasn't feeling confident like last year, but I made some

predictions in a magazine. Not all were right, but some were very

correct. I wrote in print that India might have an unpleasant

confrontation after May 18 (air strikes on Pakistani infiltrators were

from May 25), that India would take a bold stand ( " no talks until

infiltrators leave " ) and that the world would support India's bold stand

(even US did!). I also wrote that Russia would get into trouble after

the eclipse and that Russia might get involved in an armed conflict.

 

Let us see how this fits with my D-27 Narayana dasa.

If you have trouble with calculations, please refer to the archives for

Narayana dasa lessons.

 

Because 27 modulo 12 is 3, look at the 3rd lord in my rasi chart. It is

Mars. Mars is in Ar in D-27. Ar is stronger than Li. So start dasas from

Ar. Ar dasa is 1970-1982. Ta dasa is 1982-1998 (Venus is in Sc). Ge dasa

is 1988-2000. Antardasas in Ge dasa go as Ge, Cn, Le, Vi etc.

 

I ran Ar antardasa during Apr 1998-Apr 1999. I ran Ta antardasa during

Apr 1999-Apr 2000. Let us analyze both now. In each antardasa, take the

antardasa sign as lagna and analyze the chart.

 

* * *

 

(1) Ar antardasa: The 2nd from Ar is occupied in natal D-27 by Saturn.

This is not good for vaag bala. Saturn in 2nd weakens vaag bala (power

of speech).

 

The 5th house from Ar shows the power of intuition in Ar dasa. The 5th

from Ar is Leo. It is empty and it is aspected by Mars and Rahu. Neither

Mars nor Rahu promises good intuition. Rahu in fact misleads.

 

However, arudha of Venus is in Leo! Watery benefic Venus gives smooth

intuition in 5th. Arudha of Venus in 5th doesn't do that in reality, but

the native will feel that way. So I was very comfortable with my

intuition then and felt it was working smoothly.

 

(2) Ta antardasa: The 2nd from Ta is Gemini. Mercury and Jupiter occupy

it!! So Ta antardasa can be reasonably good for me even in a bad

mahadasa. Mercury and Jupiter in 2nd suggest good vaag bala. The 5th

house from there is Virgo. It has no planets and the same duo aspects it

ffrom Ge. Ethery Jupiter gives good intuition, while earthy Mercury

gives clarity and focus.

 

However, arudhas of Sun, Saturn and Jupiter occupy Virgo. Sun and Saturn

in 5th is not good. Saturn in 5th gives hesitating and lazy intuition.

But Jupiter there gives good intuition after some Saturnine hesitation.

So I feel less confident when making predictions in print this year.

Despite some creditable successes this year, I don't feel too confident

when I look at charts this year.

I hope some ideas presented here will provoke thoughts.

 

Points to consider:

 

(1) Astrologer's chart also matters, especially when the principles used

are weak.

 

(2) Nakshatramsa is important for that. D-24 shows knowledge, but it is

D-27 that shows whether one's intuition is powerful and whether one's

vaak (speech) is powerful.

 

(3) Narayana dasa is an excellent phalita dasa and Narayana dasa of D-27

can be used to time phases of good and bad predictions.

 

(4) An astrologer may feel diffident, but make good predictions. He may

feel confident and make stupid predictions. How one feels is an illusion

and that illusion can be different from the reality. Arudha padas of

planets help in understanding the native's illusions/perceptions. And,

arudha lagna helps in understanding the illusions/perceptions of the

world about the native.

As Satish pointed out, today's astrologers mix up many techniques

because their precise uses are lost to us. We have to understand the

precise uses of varous tools, before astrology is accepted as a valid

subject. We have a herculean task in front of us.

 

If we keep faith in Parasara and strive to understand him correctly, I

am confident that we will have an astrology department in many

universities oneday.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
