!Navamsa- Some aspect!
There are 16
Vargas (subdivisions) of ascendants and planets in Vedic astrology, to pinpoint any prediction and making difference between nativities. Planets stay at
a sign for a long time and even ascendant rises about two hours. Several births
took place in this duration. We can differentiate every birth by using the Varga
chart. The Navamsa is the most important subdivision of them. Some
astrologers emphasize that ‘Navamsa’ is more valuable than Rasi itself. I also agree
with their view. It had been the greatest problem for a long time for me how to
use it! How to use it with Rasi chart! Various classical texts of astrology have
several hints about its use of it.
We should study the Rasi chart only to get primary indications of any event and confirmation of it
must be from Navamsa and other related Varga charts.
Some
astrologers suggest simply reading the Varga chart just like the Rasi chart. It may be
useful in the general sense but old authorities of astrology are not in favor of
this view. I am also against them.
Our tradition of great seers gives suggestions of taking the 64th Navamsa (Khar navamsa) or the 22nd Drekkana
sign instead of the sign of the 8th house in the Navamsa or Drekkana chart. The
64th Navamsa generally falls in the 4th house of the Navamsa
chart when the 10th house falls about 270 degrees away from the ascendant! The 64th and 22nd Drekkana are only general
terms as earlier all the shoes of leather made by any company were known as
‘BATA’ shoes. So lordship of other houses except ascendant is not recommended
from Varga charts. Though house consideration suggested just like Rasi chart as an ascendant lord is not desirable in evil houses even in the Navamsa chart.
What is the
use of the calculation of houses! Is it only to draw the Chalit chart! It is used to determine lordship of houses and
not only lordship but to know Vargas falling in the particular house like
divisional ascendants as Khar (64th)Navamsa or Khar (22nd
)Drekkana. So the Vargas falling in the particular house has much importance.
‘Saravali’ suggested the same method in chapter
34 in Sutra 30 and 31.
“ Saptamsa
of 5th house belongs to Mars and - - -”
“ Vargas falling in the 5th house belongs to Saturn or the 5th
house posited by Sun, within the aspect of Mars produced only mean son”
‘Jataka
Tatwam’ also suggested the same method of pondering upon the matter of 5th
house in the sloka 208.
“The Vargas falling in the 5th house belongs to Jupiter or
benefic sign produced his own son.”
Observe
another sloka 12, of Jatakabhrnam under the context of 5th house.
“The
Vargas falling in the 5th house belongs to Venus or Moon and
aspected by either of them produced many issues.”
We must
read the nature of that sign and the influence of planets on it in that particular
Varga. It is advisable to take Varga of any house equivalent to that Varga. As
we are reading the Drekkana chart we should take Drekkana of our desired house.
This works on practical grounds. Khar (64th
)Navamsa sign from ascendant is only effective which we get after taking
Navamsa of the 8th house, generally, it falls in the 4th house
from Navamsa ascendant but not necessarily.
The
lordship of houses from the Rasi chart is a unique and incomparable figure to read the house`s result. Even
in the system of KP, they read planets in the star of the house lord and not in the
star of the sub-lord of that house. I prefer the method of Sripati to calculate the longitude of houses.
Let us
see some clues using the above method.
a- Take the Vargas (Navamsa, Drekkana)
falling in the 3rd house. Observe the sign whether male or female. The
sex of the next younger sibling depends upon this. The impact of planets (male or
female) over the navamsa sign lord in both Vargas also helps much in this
regard. We can also take into account the sign (male or female) occupied by this
sign lord in both Vargas.
b- Take the star falling in the Navamsa
longitude of the 3rd house. The Moon star of the next younger sibling
will be one of the benefic Tara from this. Similarly, we can find the star of the spouse
using the navamsa longitude of the 7th house.
c- Take the Navamsa and Drekkana signs of
3rd house. The Moon sign of the next sibling will be one of ignoring the
sign those are in the 2-12th or 6-8th relationship with this.
d- The star rising in the Khar Navamsa sign is harmful to natives' health-related matters. Also, consider the trine and the star
falling in the exactly 7th house from the Khar Navamsa sign. The
ascendant, ascendant lord in this area bestows only the weak constitution of the body.
Transit of planets over such stars can provide ill health.
Generally, astrologers rarely used a navamsa chart in
interpreting a horoscope. They consider it only to observe the strength of planets
while the planet's position at Navamsa sign is more important than the Rasi chart.
Jeeva Sharma* considered Navamsa sign of the Moon to
read Sunpha-Anphadi Yoga.
Deva Keralam suggests the Navamsa sign of the Moon to consider the transit of planets while astrologers rarely used
it in their interpretation. Observe some slokas.
-
-
Saturn`s transition through the Navamsa sign occupied by Moon causes fear of
enemies etc.
- -When Saturn
transits the 7th sign from the Moon`s Navamsa sign- - -.
-
-
During Rahu Dasa, when Saturn transits the 8th sign counted from the
Moon`s Navamsa sign- - -.
It works on practical grounds. We should consider the Navamsa sign
of the Moon for transiting purposes. It gives better results than Rasi Moon.
Like the Navamsa sign of the Moon, the Navamsa star of the Moon is also a very
important factor. The result of Tara is more reliable and well on the practical
ground, which is counted from the star of Navamsa Moon. We can get the Navamsa
star of Moon by simply multiplying Rasi Moon by nine and making the figure
within the range of zodiac.
Great seers of astrology have not revealed each possible
aspect of astrology, sometimes they provided only hints to work further for
true and honest aspirants.
The hint is clear in ‘Deva Keralam’ with the example of the Moon
working further on various other points.
So we can also determine the Navamsa position of Tithi and
Yoga. These factors seldom come in use in predictive astrology but are only
confined to the calculation of Muhurta. Navamsa Tithi and Yoga have a great
impact on nativity. The Tithes of Yuva and Briddha Varga from Navamsa Tithi and
Yoga falling in a benefic Tara from Navamsa yoga are always auspicious and
provide better results in the daily life of the native. We can select the best of
them by comparing them with Rasi's position of these figures.
How to read it with a Rasi chart is also a perplexing question. We can move in the following manner.
a- The result of the planets' position in certain houses for the Rasi chart is also applicable to the Navamsa chart. In the
same way, the result of the conjunction of planets also works in the Navamsa chart.
b- The conjunction of certain house lords of the Rasi chart works effectively in the Navamsa chart. As the union of the 5th
and 7th lord from the Rasi chart, in the Navamsa chart creates the possibility of love marriage. The house-wise position of certain house lords of the Rasi chart works effectively in the Navamsa chart. As the position of the 5th
or 7th lord of the Rasi chart in the 7th or 5th
house respectively in the Navamsa chart is a strong indication of love
marriage.
The quality and intensity of mutually good
related planets from the Rasi chart get reduced much if they are in ill relation
(2-12th or 6-8th) in the Navamsa chart. This technique was
widely used by Dr. B.V. Raman in his book ‘How to judge a horoscope’.
