Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Jaya Jagannath Dear Karu, I fail to understand as to how HORA SHASTRA CANNOT HAVE HORA IN IT??? Please apply yourself. The hora is the foundation of Hora shastra or yotisha and not Ghati or Vighati. There are 12 hora that are ruled by the Sun, Venus, Merc,Moon, Sat, Jup, Mars...repeating in that order and starting from the LORD OF THE DAY. KP System is outside this discussion and I am not wasting my time. So, please do not ask me about it.
