Dear Neelam,

Please don't be a silent member, only. I like your post- it would be selfish not

to share your insights with us all.

Dear Sunil,

 

I am a silent member of this forum, but I guess the topic of books makes me

chip in.

 

We have two issues here, Karaka for books and House for books. We take it

one by one.

 

*Regarding the houses, *books per se will have no place in the chart. If I

ask you where do you see elephant in a chart, will you be able to say? It is

only when I relate to something, we get to see it through the houses and

place it in the relevant house. So it is important to identify *what I do

with the books*. Unless and until we're able to connect native's relation

with the books, we cannot place books in a chart. This relationship will be

dynamic and change with age and his life cycle. A student might be dealing

with books but later he may not even read a newspaper. Whereas another

person will be heavily into reading habits.

 

When we see books in relation with self it could be:

 

*My books, as my possessions, in 2H*. What is the purpose that these

books serve,

could be seen from the houses which connect as secondary houses.

 

My reading habit, and loud reading in 2H

My effort for reading 3H

My writing books, 3H/5H

My reading and learning material may be 4H/5H?

My sacred learning 9H

My secret books, like porn etc. 8H

 

*If I am a writer/author, * books are my creativity and fall under 5H. Then

again all the above will connect depending upon what I write.

 

*If I am a publisher or a printer*, then 3H will show books and 10H will

relate to activity with books.

 

*Regarding the karakas* or the planets, mercury and mars will primarily make

books as such. Mercury is paper and mars is ink.

 

If it is a book on astrology, we can say + Jupiter.

A coffee table book on arts will surely have + venus

An old manuscript will have + Saturn

A porn book will have an element of + Rahu in it.

 

So we go on differentiating like this. With this modern age, we have

electronic books also. So the list is endless.

 

Primarily you will be required to specify the purpose of books in the

native's life, then only we can try to locate them in a chart.

In my own case, I have very strong connection with books ever since I can

remember. I possess books worth a big library, I am a hopeless bookworm, and

not only books I would devour every piece of printed paper, even when in

trains would not spare the paper used for wrapping chanajor garam, I am

connected with writing editing, printing, publishing, designing, everything

to do with books.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards

Neelam
