Answer to Lesson 13: Using Progressions in Jyotish

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

Only a handful of you tried the exercises. Unless you are very busy,

you should attempt all the exercises. Don't worry about going wrong.

When learning things, trying and going wrong is much better than not

trying at all.

 

In future, I will expect more of you to try the exercises.

 

Here are the final answers.

On the given date, native's age was June 26, 1975 - Nov 19, 1917,

i.e. about 57 years 7 months. This is about 57.6 years. At the rate

of 3 deg per year, Sun is progressed by 172.8 deg, i.e. 5 rasis, 22

deg 48 min.

 

Natal Sun is at 4 Sc 07. By adding 5 rasis, 22 deg, 48 min, we get 26

Ar 55. So progressed Sun is close to 27 deg in Ar on the given date.

 

We see that Ghati Lagna (seat of power and authority) is at 24Ar10.

Progressed Sun near natal GL gives power. So the native must be

experiencing some power and authority. Kali saham is at 27Li01. Kali

stands for strife, anger, vice etc. Progressed Sun's contact with

natal kali saham shows some setbacks and strife in one's activities

in society. The native engages in activities that bring strife to

oneself and others.

 

This chart belongs to Indira Gandhi, former PM of India. Those of you

who know modern Indian history well will realize that I gave the date

on which emergency was imposed in India.

 

She became India's PM around the time progressed Sun entered Ar (10th

house with GL!). When the progressed Sun came close to natal GL, she

triumphed over dissidents in her party and her party had a huge

electoral victory. During the time of Sun's exact progression near

GL, she started to feel very powerful and took up some unpopular

policy decisions.

 

Just before progressed Sun's contact with natal kali saham became

exact, a court gave an unfavorable judgment in a case involving her

and she declared emergency. All the democratic institutions were

suspended, political opponents lodged in jails, press shutdown and

she and her son did whatever they thought was right. Progressed Sun

close to natal GL and kali saham made her exert power to reduce the

world's largest democracy to a tyranny.

 

She paid for it after Sun left Aries.

> August 7, 1963

> Time: 21:14:50

> Time Zone: 5:30:00 (East of GMT)

> Guess approximately when he got married.

 

Out of all the points, vivaha saham at 26+ deg in Li is the most

interesting, because upapada is also in Li (with Rahu taken as the

lord of 12th). Rahu is DK and he is at 25+ deg in Ge.

 

Let us see when progressed Sun (as per navamsa progression) touches

26 deg in Li. Nata Sun is at 21 deg in Cn. So the progression is 9

(in Cn) + 60 (Le & Vi) + 26 = 95 deg. At the rate of 3.3333 deg per

year, this gives an age of 95x3/10=28.5.

 

Around that time, Moon will be in Le & Vi. One of the interesting

points is 26 deg in Leo. This is an exact trine from exalted Ketu.

Ketu is the 9th lord and he is a giver of marraige. Mercury is also

in Le and he the 7th lord.

 

Progressed Moon is at 26 deg in Le and progressed Sun at 24.5 deg in

Li in July 1991.

 

The native got married in August 1991, in his 29th year.
