Aspects across signs

Dear Mu and Whoever Else Can Answer these Question ...

 

I have a question. Some Vedic astrologers use the " sign as house " method

while others use the method of a house being 15 degs on either side of the

cusp, and any planet in that 30 deg area is considered to be in that house,

even if it's in a different sign from the one on the cusp.

 

Here's an example: a young man has his Sun in 1 deg of Leo. He has 26

degs of Cancer rising. Mu (and all), would you consider that to be a first

house Sun, or a 2nd house Sun? Or ... a 2nd house Sun which is nonetheless

cnj. the asc? Which system works best for you folks out there?

Bettina,

 

I use sign-as-house for the yogas, for example if the lord of first is with

the lord of 9th, that is raja yoga. However, if this conjunction happens to

be within 15 degrees of the 8th cusp, then the yoga is weak because it's in

the 8th house. Or else it applies to 8th house affairs.

 

An example of planet changing house is in the chart of Paramahansa

Yogananda. Y had 6 Leo rising, Jupiter in 24 Pisces. Jupiter is the 8th

sign-as-house, but the 9th equal house. For a spiritual guru, Jupiter in

9th is a better fit than Jupiter in the 8th. However, Jupiter is strong in

its own sign, and *as lord of 5th*, Y had no children. So in considering

planets as house lords, sign-as-house is important. Taking the planet

alone, Jupiter in 9th is a better fit.

>>Another question: do out of sign asps work if they're major asps and

very close? I know that strict Vedic-ists say no, but I'm not convinced

that they're correct. So, if Venus were in, say, 29 degs of Aries and

Saturn in 1 deg Taurus, would they influence each other or no?

I discovered something very interesting when I studied a group of

earthquake and quake ingress charts a while ago. (Some of these are posted

on / in the files section

in the Earthquake Charts folder. Very often the critical quake aspects

crossed signs. For example the Sun might be in 29 Leo opposing Uranus at 1

Pisces. From this I concluded that aspects **do** have effect across signs,

but they may be critical or unstable. The fact that two planets are on sign

cusps would indicate change or instability.
