Is D-12 the chart of parents because the 12th house stands for

lineage and continuity in a vamsa? Does D-12 represent the

manifestation of that in the physical plane and hence shows

parents? Does D-24 represent the manifestation of that in the

mental/intellectual plane and hence represents learning?

I agree. Just to clarify my position vis-a-vis my earlier

question on prasna: Parasara's teachings are clear about which

varga shows parents. But I am not aware of any conclusive

instruction by Parasara on prasna sastra. The classic Prasna

Marga, for example, suggests casting a chart when a query is

*posed*. In that case, the riddle I had (a query posed sincerely

and humbly to a congregation of learned astrologers together and

attempted by different astrologers at different times) is solved

- all get the same chart. Of course, we can also solve the riddle

by disqualifying such a prasna.

 

But, essentially, there is no clear instruction by Parasara or

Jaimini (as far as I know) and your teaching differs from Prasna

Marga. So questioning it is not the same as questioning the

basics clearly established by Parasara. There is a difference

bwteen the two.

Even today, people continue to mess with basics *clearly defined*

by maharshis. Look at the " 5th house for learning " teaching of

Rao saheb!
