Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Sorry this is so long... First, let me preface this with that jyotishi's probably wouldn't tell you what I'm telling you. It's culminated from learning aspects of jyotish and verifying it with actual experience. And, my insistence that things like jyotish, mantras, etc have a PRACTICAL use. For years, Western astrology has gotten a bad name for merely telling you about yourself (who cares?) or for easy things like Mercury Retrograde. It doesn't remove the necessity for a jyotishi for basic information and readings. But, being merely a scholar hasn't made saints out of bible-thumpers either. There's lots of mis-information out there about Jyotish, even among Hindu's. Years ago they reported a surge in breeding black dogs for the high demand in pleasing Saturn. Dog would please Ketu, Black pleases Rahu, while black would strengthen Saturn(!). How does a dog help pacify delays and dryness? Awareness and Discrimination would show this to be true, versus pundits. This is the difference between 'actual' and theory. Same with Feng Shui and the superstitious parts of it (redhat/black hat?!). Just pay attention to the flow patterns in your house and you'll get enough information. Same with Vaastu. It's not about energy, it's about the 'spirit' of the house, and the 'spirit' likes to sleep like you do (and temple deities do), so don't keep the lights on in the house all night and give your living space a regular bath. Yes, Sade Saati is supposed to be based on your moon, but I haven't found that to be true. When I take the Lagna as the 'head' and look at the houses that way, I get a decent picture. Just like the old temples are like a human body laying on it's back (with the sanctum in the head, not the heart), so are the houses' influence. I also have a preference for the North Indian style chart because it rotates like the horizon. Here's an old chart showing the houses/rashi's in the way they affect the body. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ammasgull/2429091442/ You'd need to transpose the chart according to your lagna/asc. For example, last year when Mars went into my 12th (from ascendant), I ended up taking classes. Mars (activity), 12th being institutions. When Mars went retro, things came up that made me miss classes. 12th house also governs losses, so yes I missed classes, and last month I was losing some money on bad Ebay purchases. Because, my main computer that has the JJ software on it is hard to get to in my room (crowded) and I had stopped consulting it. I'll finish up a draft of the Prashna Reader-chart that I came up with a couple years ago. Sort of the 'current planets-at-a-glance' like a calendar. My original idea of magnets didn't work, but I still have the large picture frame and will try those computer-printable window decals to see if they'll work. The background gives the needed basic info (wait to you see it). I'm curious to see if it helps others the way it helps me to get a snapshot of my karmic-paying plan. I'll get back to you on the Rahu and Ketu, tom Ammachi , Max Dashu <maxdashu wrote: > > >other major transitions with Rahu and Ketu are coming up soon. > > Care to elaborate? > > >I use my ascendant to get the gist of my jyotish stuff.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks for the laughs about the black dogs, Tom. >First, let me preface this with that >jyotishi's probably wouldn't tell you >what I'm telling you. It's culminated >from learning aspects of jyotish and verifying >it with actual experience. I believe that is what jyotishis do. In my experience the classic lunar Sade Saati was right on the money, to use an inappropriate gamblers' phrase. I just finished it last year, and seven years can be loonnng time.

Namaskarams! yes Max you are right, sade sati is when Saturn passes through the houses (signs) surrounding and including Moon....3 signs to be precise...... actually if you look closely at the page linked to, they are NOT quoting lagnas....they are talking about Moon placements....just see the quotation from the beginning of the reading: " Let’s see what “SATURN†has got in its store for all 12 Rashis during its stay in “LEO†- " now...Rashi refers to the sign in which we find the MOON....so the first rashi is the Moon sign...the second is the next sign and so on...thus this reading is actually referring to MOON signs, NOT lagna based houses. hope that clears it up.... in Amma's Divine Love, and in Her Service, as ever, your own Self, visvanathan Om Amrtesvaryai Namah! > Max Dashu > Suppressed Histories Archives > http://www.suppressedhistories.net > Real Women, Global Vision > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 >now...Rashi refers to the sign in which we find the MOON ah, i always wondered about that. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately us Mac folks can't use the free program. What you say about Saturn: as a Libra rising it is a friend planet and yet it falls in my 12th house, so... it definitely gives plenty of opportunities for letting go! Thanks also to Tom for the links and info. Om Amritesvaryai Namaha, Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
