tips on benefic or malefic nakshatrasThe 27 Nakshtras are divided into 9 groups. The Janam Nakshtra is given the numerical 1. And then the other nakshtras are calculated. The planets give different effects when placed in different nakshtras. ... Depending upon this different nakshtras are placed in different categories.They are Janma Tara 1, 10, 19 It is benefic. Sampat Tara 2, 11, 20 It brings prosperity. Vipat Tara 3, 12, 21 It brings obstacles. Kshema Tara 4, 13, 22 It brings gains. Pratyak Tara 5, 14, 23 It brings destructions. Sadhaka Tara 6, 15, 24 It brings success. Vadha Tara 7, 16, 25 It causes destruction and death. Mitra Tara 8, 17, 26 It is benefic. Parama Mitra Tara 9, 18, 27 It brings prosperity. So the planets placed in Vipat, Pratyak and Vadha tara become weak and give malefic results. RECONCILIATION OF TRANSIT RESULTS AND DASHA BUKTI - We all know, that there are two parallel deductions to cause a result in reading a birth chart of a natal. They are 1. Directional results of Dasha Bhukti and transit results of planets in various houses in the Zodiac houses in specific periods. Interestingly, both are based on Moon sign only, where the Star in which the natal is born. We also know that, a. If transit results and Dasha Bhukti results indicate good results, then the period will be good; b. If one of them indicates good time, and other is bad, the results will be ‘mixed’; c. If both to indicate badly, then the result in that period will be bad. This explains a possible gradation of results affected by transit of a selected planet related to the transit of the same planet, based on its positional performance expected of it. We all know the succession of ‘Thaaraathi (Star) pathya’ based on star at birth with that of Dasha related, and successive Dasha’s of listed succeeding Dasha’s. The list is 1. Janma Nakshatra; 2. Sampath Tara; 3. Vipath Thara; 4. Kshema Thara; 5. Prathyak Thara; 6. Daivanukula Thara; 7. Vadha (Nidhana) Tara; 8. Mithra Thara; and 9. Parama Maithra. These repeat in next 9 successive Stars. The results are based on its qualifications listed above. TRADITION APPLIED IN HINDU ASTROLOGY ON ‘SHODASAVARGAS’ OF 16 DIVITIONAL CHARTS: Principle behind dividing Zodiac houses and to reach the correct effects of radiation of planets housed in Birth Chart: Creating sub- cycle charts and its practical application is not a complicated. Each division of the circle into a subordinate number of cycles or circles has its own significance. This ‘significance’ is derived by the symbolism of the number by which the division is made. By dividing up the original circle of Zodiac into a number lesser circles one is, in effect, considering the distribution of the natal positions within the sub-circle of a particular horoscope. Let us take ‘Navansha’, the nine divisions of a house in Zodiac of 30°, to measure each house of 3° 20’ x 9. This technique as one in which each sign is divided by a particular number – in this case nine- but in point of fact, the whole circle by nine (one Pada) and divide each of those nine divisions into little Zodiac of twelve signs and this forms a VARGA. This is a in depth way of interpreting the chart , in addition to use newer aspect combinations. The several places in birth chart the planets are parked in specific places. The priority of assessment of the planet in the main chart should be assessed, as benefic or malefic, along with positional aspect in housing as well as other planets. THIS IS BASIC FUNCTIONAL QUALITY OF THE PLANET AN WILL NOT CHANGE IN THE REALLIGNMENT GAINED BY PLANET IN DIVISIONAL CHART. However, after computation of the planets ‘Ashtagavarga’, it could be found in that particular divisional Rasi in the divisional ch art has more countings on the benefic side than in the malefic side. Now we are entering into the complicated process of assessment on gradation of the functioning ability of the Planet. Varahamihira too has said in his work ‘Yatra” about the inability to produce effects on the part of planets devoid of strength owing to their depression, defeat in planetary war, or combustion in the natal birth chart. This will largely ‘graded’ by divisional charts for the performance of the planet in the related divisional chart among 16 of them Ashtagavargas are used in connection with transit also. For example Saturn transiting 3rd, 6th, 11th houses from the placement of Moon in the natal chart is good provided it is to be benefic in places at distance of 4 houses from the natal Moon. Then he will give very good results in the accounted period. However, the related results will be reflected with the power bestowed in Ashtagavargas based on the position of each of the planets occupy at the time of birth. analysis of a transit Transits have been very tricky. Should we take them from the natal Moon or the ascendant is a question that has been exercising the minds of all. Each one of us has worked out his own solution to the issue. Why should a transit be analysed from the Moon? In ancient times when birth time was not known accurately, this could have been a workable via media, but today when this is not the case, taking the Moon sign as the ascendant for analysing transits is not acceptable. A better alternative is the ascendant. Why? Because all the persons having their Moon in the same sign could be further subdivided into twelve sets according to their natal ascendants. This enables us to give twelve distinguishable predictions to all these persons who otherwise would have got the same prediction. How can we distinguish further? It is not right that everybody in this world should get the same prediction out of a set of twelve predictions at any given point of time. Here comes in the use of majorperiod planets. There are nine planets the Vimshottari major-periods of which run at any moment of time in different charts. When we are analysing the effect of a sub-period in a major-period we take the place of the major-period planet as the ascendant and analyse the sub-period accordingly. For example, if the major-period of Jupiter placed in Aries is running and we wish to know the effect of sub-period of Mars placed in Virgo, we will take Aries as the ascendant. We will notice that Mars is placed in the sixth house from Jupiter in an inimical sign and therefore according to the significations of the sixth house and its own it should cause an accident or injury in its sub-period. Since it is the owner of the ascendant signified by the major-period planet (Aries) placed in the sixth house it will cause the common signification of the sixth house and its own to appear on the physical body. Mars and sixth house both signify injury and accidents. Therefore the likelihood of injury/accident is more than that of a dispute arising. Similarly, when we analyse the transit from the place of the major-period we should notice the placement of the planet in transit from the natal major-period planet and analyse its effect at that time. For example, suppose in the above illustration, Mars is occupying the fourth house (Cancer) in transit from natal Jupiter. Both Mars and the fourth house signify property. Since it is also the owner of the ascendant (place of major-period planet) it involves the self of the individual in matters relating to property. Hence during the transit of Mars through Cancer this person will be involved in handling property. As Mars would be debilitated here the results may not be too satisfactory. Going into the nakshatras in the fourth house, when Mars enters Cancer, it will be in the nakshatra of Jupiter. Since Jupiter owns the ninth and twelfth houses from Aries, this would be the time when the individual tries to dispose of the property of his father (ninth house and twelfth house). The individual will get stalled in his efforts when Mars enters the nakshatra of Saturn and he would face obstacles and may decide to earn through (Saturn ownership of the tenth and eleventh houses) that property and when it enters the nakshatra of Mercury he may part with it (third house/twelfth from fourth ownership of Pushkara Nakshatra : 3 padas in one sign . 1pada in another sign Ex: Kritika Gandantha Nakshatra : Nakshatra ends in a sign Ex: Moola Both above mentioned nakshatras are very dangerous . this tells about natives creativity . from moon : society look at you at which group you belong to ?

The Nakshatra by Dennis Harness is a brief introductory overview for beginners. The Na-kshatra reveal an ancient psycho-emotional profile used by each graha (but particularly Chandra). 2. Roebuck's explanation of the Vedic Nakshatra tradition is the best in print. Philosophically inclined Jyotishi may find this depth of interpretation more beneficial for widening their esoteric awareness of the 'Nakshatranath'. Das Goravani says: "There are 27 main Nakshatra encircling the entire zodiac The Moon travels through roughly one Nakshatra per day The Nakshatra are said to be the wives of the Moon. mental. Each has a ruler planet.the "28th Nakshatra ". Nakshatra represent "fields" of psycho-emotional (Chandra) energy composed of past-life images. Later.) . It's hard to see without a partner who acts like a blank projection screen. particularly the Nakshatra 's planetary lord. and the regular placement of these was noted early on. The naked eye can observe numerous constellations in the night sky. these patterns are the result of unresolved emotional experiences in past lives. It takes a bit of "questioning the dominant paradigm "but even those of us raised in the "leading" ego-mental culture of the super-mentalized dwapara yuga can use Nakshatra categories to interpret the nativity! Nakshetra placement of Chandra reveals qualities of one's deep emotional character. Stars were consulted for auspicious timing of events such as sacrifices and wars. not too much. the pattern which is seeking validation is indeed a spiritual dimension of one's own self of which one is not fully conscious.) See the individual descriptions of Chandra in the 27 Nakshatra for details of Chandra in each of the navamsha lagnas.. Although this level of need is generally only satisfied in partnership (human or divine). his is emotional material coming up from deep-freeze storage in the ancient subconscious. the Moon's nighttime travels against the backdrop of sparkling bright constellations provided an excellent way to mark time and -. Nakshetra of the navamsha Chandra shows the soul's emotional needs. The repeating patterns are often instinctive and reactive. In a successful relationship. There is often a trauma-pattern embedded in The Moon's Nakshatra .very importantly -. the 12-sign astrological zodiac was introduced into Indian thought. This deep emotional character very much influences the repeating life patterns of the native 's instinctive choices in relationships and social environment. Ancient Lunar Jyotisha Ancient Indian Jyotisha was a divinatory system which searched for omens in the sky. Success or failure of this self-nourishing and self-protecting strategy depends on the condition of the Nakshatra lord within the radix nativity. One attracts a partner (or ishtadevata) for the purpose of seeing this aspect of the emotional memory-bank reflected in the partner's behavior that is really a response to one's own projections. the partner should be able to see and validate the Nakshatra qualities of the native 's navamsha. From the reincarnational viewpoint. (Thus the surprising amount of Greek vocabulary in Sanskrit Jyotisha texts after 300 BCE. and has certain divinatory meanings.to generate ritual calendars for the priests. during the era of strong Greek influence in northern India. As recorded in the Vedas. but no "personal" astrology of the birth chart yet existed. Complicated? No. The trauma pattern reveals ways in which the native has learned to get one's emotional needs met while protecting [Chandra] against further hurt. The Nakshatra of Chandra intuitively guides the native to behaviors and environments which best support their emotional needs. showing the past-life movie (again and again and again. each of the constellations is ruled by a deity. It's just important to understand that anything going on in the navamsha is a projection of dormant traits from one's own personality which one is trying to recognize and accept.. the native insists on a fixed emotional response pattern that is characteristic of the traits of the Nakshatra . "aryan"lunar astrology (from the Rik Veda primarily) as well as a historically later stratum of solar astrology (the 12 houses).Greek astrology focused on "jataka" = natal-chart astrology of the person's birth. Sata-bhishaj 4. here is ordering from the Koeln Digital Sanskrit Dictionary 2. 'Nakshatra' = 'domain of the Moon'. I use the conventional ordering at the top of this page. Most modern people live their lives rather narrowly constrained by the ego-positivistic paradigm. In practice. For comparison. children. 'kshetra' = 'field' or 'shelter'. the solar component Of historic Jyotisha (the 12 solar signs and houses) is easier for the modern mind to to manipulate. due to its fairly rational structure.27 Nakshatra and their Vaidik deity rulerships = much less rational. and much more complex and subtle. Therefore most modern people really want to know only about material developments such as wealth. The rare individual who is interested in anything outside this narrow realm may be rewarded by a study of the Nakshatra . Purva-bhadrapada 5.

Nakshatra are created by dividing the earth's visible sky into 27 pie slices. The Circle of Stars . The Greek twelve "solar "sign system was already set to begin at zero degrees of Aries. The Moon passes through approximately one Nakshatra per day. The next step is to re-analyze the chart by applying 27 divisions of 13 degrees 20 seconds each. which was the point of the Sun at spring equinox. Varahamihira's synthesis forms the foundation of Jyotisha as we have it today. (In far north Indian areas influenced by Persian culture. may be authentic spousal realities for deities in the spirit world. incoming drishti. like all graha. For humans in the earth world. articulated in his many works of great genius. If the chart is first divided into 12 slices. there will be a much finer understanding of the psycho-emotional subtleties within. the Nakshatra through which the Moon was passing at the time of your birth . that are present in the total portfolio of the Moon. at zero degrees of Aries. 8) The astrological convention of dividing the sky into 12 "rashi"signs (Aries to Pisces) is culturally familiar to most Westerners.has a big effect on your psycho-emotional mentality. or distinctive types of perceptive power "radar". The Nakshatra which was rising on the eastern horizon ("lagna Nakshatra ") is very influential too. The ring of Nakshatra was then formalized to "start" at Azvini. the major significations of each planet by sign. are all essential considerations in predicting events based on Chandra's rulerships in the solar . sometimes 28 Nakshatra are used. each of the 27 Nakshatra is a unique residence.a sacred cosmological number which is fundamentally important in Vedic thought. Although Chandra's rashi. he two systems interwove for many centuries. In classical Jyotisha thought. "wives" are metaphorical mirrored attributes. Thus was Jyotisha as we currently practice it. Nakshatra are described as "wives of the Moon". conceived. Also the interpreter will gain the ability to predict the effects of each planetary period with more detail. house.) Wives. and which determine the human emotional response to life. which has unique characteristics. (Chandra. is considered masculine or "yang" character because it has creative power. Nakshatra values in Jyotisha prediction Judgments from Chandra lagna are essentially readings of the Astral level of personality.) However the majority of Jyotishi uses 27 slices because 27*4 is one of those geometrical relations that produces 108 . and aspect will be clear. divisions. The filters are constructed from Accumulated past life emotional memories Nakshatra attributes define a rather fixed array of programmatic. typically reactive. and subconsciously embedded that the native oneself may not be aware the of the way in which one selects and screens one's own psychic experiences. However whether the native is aware of their subtle identity or not. Unfortunately if one is not aware of the activities of guiding spirits one cannot undertake collaborative program changes. intuitive. and Nakshatra no longer define the limits of psycho-emotional movement. Both janma-lagna and Chandra-lagna Nakshatra should be considered when evaluating the native 'spsychic filters. most people cannot independently detect the presence of their own psycho-emotional bodies. It is not easy to translate this ancient set of cultural categories into modern lingo. Nevertheless. Once the awareness is in place one can negotiate the limitations with the supervising deities. responses to life's experiences. the Jyotishi who wishes to know the native 's psycho-emotional motivations must contemplate the Moon's Nakshatra . reactive. Therefore Nakshatra delineations will indicate a level of fixed "destiny" limitation for most people. Because Nakshatra influences are so fine and subtle. the native may note nothing more specific in their psychic life-response pattern than a sense of defined being-ness in an ocean of responses to life. Due to materialistic modern belief systems. It is of course possible to be much more aware and articulate of Nakshatra effects which are powerfully energized by these 27 deities and multiple sub-deities. it is more typical for the native to simply "feel" a general guidance and sense of direction in a non-specific and typically unconscious way. rather than to be in direct communication with the disembodied spiritual personalities that are actively collaborating to shape one's life path through the Nakshatra delineations. Practice considerations As the Jyotisha tradition has been received in this early part of Dwapara Yuga. Unless the native is particularly reflective or has been raised in a culture that specifically recognizes the traditional Nakshatra boundaries. an individual's Nakshatra -based "psycho-emotional specialization" = essentially delineated according to the portfolios of the various deities and divisions of labor in Vaidik culture. their power to control the subconscious motivation will interpenetrate all solar actions and ultimately determine what a native can or . Much less can the average contemporary human detect the reach-out-and-touch proximity of those deities large and small with whom the human in unconsciously interacting every day of their life. This subtle orientation is so ancient. the Chandra and janma Nakshatra sets active limits on core identity and serves to structure the personality in ways that ultimately direct all the major choices in the incarnation. the Jyotishi knows through study that every native has a strong tendency to interpret one's experience through the filter of the Nakshatra . Interpreting the Nakshatra influence of Vaidik deities in modern life In this materialistic age. Soma's Nakshatra creates a psycho-emotional filter which defines a limited range of self-concept and predetermines certain tastes. one can discover the deities' attributes quite independently. through reflective and self-referential meditation. the native with Chandra in Azvini Nakshatra will have a past-life history of intense communication with quadrupeds particularly horses.Functionally. Psychological Due to the constraints of modern belief systems. It can be a major positive contribution to an individual's welfare to show them the Nakshatra path and their place upon it. At the higher levels of consciousness. trauma response. Those capable of holding a spiritual viewpoint will notice that the Nakshatra are territories of particularly deities. motives. etc. the practicing Jyotishi will recognize a need to be aware of and willing to participate with their plans for any given individual. and abilities. the native 's medical and sports orientation is based on many lifetimes of continued development of this particular span of knowledge and experience. particularly regarding the treatment of injured people and animals. tastes. and a knowledge of physical medicine. due to the ever-present guiding influence of the Azvini Kumaras (a pair of active adolescent fix-it boy twin deities) in their lives. who control their turf rather vigorously. and a small altar for this purpose should ideally be maintained. abilities. It is always beneficial to have a devotional relationshipto the spiritual lords of the Moon's Nakshatra . few clients actually are ready for the direct spiritual approach. They may look and act quite differently through different cultural frames of reference. For example. More clients are ready for the psychological approach e. and to help guide their communication with the primary deities who regulate that portion of the path. Psychological interpretation is overall more acceptable to most natives than direct psychic communication with spirits. Spiritual vs. This can be a huge step up in spiritual consciousness for the person who is ready. Their purpose is to advance human civilization and typically this occurs at a fast clip. Yet in practice it will be more pragmatically helpful for most natives to understand their Moon's Nakshatra and janma Nakshatra in psychological terms and not confuse people with tales of lunar civilizations and so forth. the language of behaviors. Nakshatra Psychological interpretation In general practice. motivations. the native is always missing one's twin (whether one has a real twin in this life or not) and that they love and crave the . some of which can be read through a close knowledge of Chandra and janma Nakshatra .cannot accomplish in the outside world. One may establish a natural and intuitive relationship with the governing deities without being constrained to the Vaidik (or "hindu-ized") view. Highly self-aware natives may notice that.g. the Jyotishi will often resort to a psychological rather than spiritual explanation of Nakshatra influences. It is true that the psychological approach is incomplete and not entirely accurate. Rather. repeating behaviors. It is not necessary to accept the limitations of Vaidik literary culture when striving to understand and communicate with the Nakshatra deities. The deities are highly organized and productive. Being psychological then: The Nakshatra defines a small set of core motivations. Human lunar programming is profound. and expectations which are simply carry-forwards from past life identities. By far the most noticeable effects of any planetary transit will occur when the bhukti of that planet is in effect. Here are some examples of practical decision-making and attitude-setting based on awareness of Nakshatra influence: When Chandra passes through the dangerous Nakshatra of Azlesa. so when Chandra passes through Budha's Nakshatra watch out for sorcery. Wisely conserve resources and act cautiously. paralyzing. chant protective mantra. Each of the 27 lunar mansions is independently ruled by a particular planet and deity. and not a good time for many things except disciplined spiritual practices which raise Kundalini energy. the native should be realistic about the dark side of human nature without becoming paranoid. charlatanism. slow moving and a survivor. As each planet passes through that lord's domain. Ruling deity Sarpas is devious and potentially deadly. but Shani is by nature conservative and cautious. Chandra has always hated his illegitimate son Mercury. However Shani and Budha do not suffer the extremely adversarial relationship of Chandra and Budha. one will be advised to take special precautions during the one day of each month when Chandra also occupies Azlesa (for reasons described above). but everyone benefits from being aware of Chandra's daily Nakshatra . Azlesa is therefore a bad place for the Moon to be. without succumbing to the coiling. and various forms of trickery. Ruling deity Sarpas is associated with the dangerous actions of a snake: hypnotizing. Therefore Shani's behavior in the mansion of His Nakshatra lord is less generally important in "newspaper"muhurta and but very definitely important for the client undergoing a Shani bhukti (any mahadasha). and read holy books! Shani and Guru are large Grahawhich travel slowly and remain in a single Nakshatra for a long time. the planet must temporarily respond to the domestic customs of that Nakshatra . Otherwise. emotional and sympathetic in nature. matters signified by the Moon such as emotional well-being and bodily survival through the link with the mother/nurturer are constrained by complex mental arguments or philosophical sophistry. agitated subconscious fears of death and destruction . Therefore Chandra's travel through each Nakshatra sets the quality and tone for that day. Stronger effect will be felt by those with natally strong Chandra positions.so the auspice for Shani's journey through Azlesa on the other 27+ days is generally OK.which is exactly . whose personality controls the goings-on in his house. stay home. ruled by graha Budha and deity of Sarpas the Snake God. and eventually poisoning or choking the victim.taste of honey. or intensive sexual exploration within the trusting and monogamous bounds of formal marriage. intentional misrepresentation (lying). Chandra is an impressionable graha. If Shani is bhukti-pat and he is also gochara in Azlesa.

Obviously different Ayanamshas will produce different transit tables. ayurvedic constitution with a view toward "moods". Natal position of Ravi contributes to overall attunement with life. I find the biggest value of knowing the Moon and lagna Nakshatra is to understand the esoteric significance of the moment of one's birth. even on those 1-per-month days of Chandra gochara Azlesa. increasing intuitive leadership powers. similar to the lagnesha's power to structure the physical body. For janma Nakshatra = Uttara-Phalguni. etc. matters signified by the Sun such as kingship.

A positive signification occurs Surya passes through the Nakshatra of Anu-radha. appreciative and affectionate in his own house. This body emanates through the physical body which is associated with the lagna+Lagnesha. Chanting the planetary mantra of the lord of the janma Nakshatra is always beneficial for self-knowledge. IMO pure intention of heart is much more influential in guaranteeing a good outcome. This is a good time therefore for a person with a strong natal Ravi to accept public honors. Simply remain conservative. other courtly sorts of behavior. joie de vivre. The mantra of the lord of the janma Nakshatra supports well-being and "return to self". cautious. attend diplomatic functions.

This match between the solar varga system of 12 bhava and the lunar Nakshatra system of 27 field of Chandra should be quite straightforward. navamsa moon was in uttara bhadrapada Nakshatra . so it is much easier with software. from Mumbai A: Namaste. Every Shastiamsha corresponds to some Nakshatra padaa. most Jyotishi did not wish to take the time to establish the degree of navamsha graha out to two decimal places. For example.. It may be true that before the computer age. it's just something we can consider. partner needs. But with computers. There should be no problem to comprehend that the navamsha Moon will occupy a Nakshatra . The position of Shukra in dashamsha will also occupy some Nakshatra padaa. Some reflections are .

Wishing you best success in Jyotisha studies. But with modern computer software. Moon occupies Azlesa Pada 3 and falls in Aquarius in Navamsha chart. actually. each point on the circle of 360 degrees of the navamsha will fall into one of the 27 Nakshatra padaa. because it's way too much work to calculate by hand. Warm Regards . My Rashi Lagna is Taurus and Navamsha Lagna is Gemini.but not sure which Nakshatra s they actually fall in. the calculation of a varga position extended to two decimal places is indeed effortless. For calculating the Nakshatra within the navamsha. It's not a literal match as you mentioned in the possible example. It's a bit more fuzzy.I was able to create a chart with signs i. Each 13:20 section is further conventionally divided into four quarters (padaa). Could you please help. Most village astrologers in India wouldn't think of considering the Nakshatra of a navamsha position. similar to any varga chart.I came across a few reference like 'Navamsha Moon in Azlesa' or 'Navamsha moon in X Nakshatra ' and could not comprehend what it means. Aren't navamsha divisions limited upto rashi? We are not familiar to this concept. where an Uttarabhadrapada Chandra in navamsha would attract a partner with Uttarabhadrapada Chandra in Radix or some other specific Uttarabhadrapada match. would I attract someone who's natal moon falls in Uttara bhadrapada? Do you find it to be that literal or does it just indicate qualities/behavior? Just curious to understand how it works.. If. Therefore the Moon in navamsha will occupy a particular Nakshatra padaa. My experience is that the Nakshatra of Chandra's navamsha refers to a subconscious projection which requires a partner to act it out. Navamsa Moon in Pisces. etc. The navamsha chart. is a circle of 360 degrees. for example. the way Guna = "mood" = a fuzzy. is it? I asked some fellow students of astrology who had the same question. (Same pada as Hillary Clinton's radix Moon. just take the degree of the placement and see which Nakshatra it fits into.) This sort of calculation must be done to the degree-second for accuracy. According to the ancient lunar astrology of na-kshetra.e. A: Namaste. The human mind is a house of mirrors.. Naturally. Perhaps that is why some do not identify the Nakshatra of graha in the varga charts.

Most of the astrological references in the Rig Veda and Atharva Veda.sharp and clear analogies.g. it is very common to find partner-A's radix Chandra matched with partner-B's navamsha lagna and/or navamsha nodes. As a qualitative marker. Often the matching patterns between world-layers are not obvious to us because that match remains hidden in the subconscious. the Nakshatra of any navamsha point signals the type of projection. we are all looking for the missing jigsaw puzzle pieces which help us to reassemble our conscious selves from the fragmentation of countless lifetimes lost in doubt and despair. It's a leap from the text we have in the Veda. Yet it's reasonable to speculate that originally. But Nakshatra of navamsha is more fuzzy and descriptive. But it's reasonable to assume. who is feeding and housing the astrologers. So it does help for comprehension to divide Chandra's vast territory into 27 sections. the Moon.

For other Jyotisha reasons there often IS a correspondence between the Nakshatra of the navamsha Chandra and partner points such as the partner's radix lagna. will win the next elephant battle. there wouldn't be enough psychic attraction of "matching energyto make the coupling happen. If they didn't. that 1200 BC was the end of a glorious period which was headed toward several millennia of darkness -. The Nakshatra system of lunar astrology is older than the solar astrology of signs and houses. There are indeed quantitative markers in Jyotisha e. Of course. even negative ones. Sorry that's a long answer! The short answer is that I interpret Nakshatra of navamsha to be a descriptive. one attractive modern use of Nakshatra position is indeed psychological. qualitative marker not a quantitative measure. That being said. Others are metaphorical nuanced and logically vague however often emotionally engaged and spiritually resonant.the ocean of emotion.. to look at each of those sections psychoemotionally in terms of what a person does spiritually and emotionally versus what 100 foot soldiers with spears and a couple of decorated elephants would do with the same set of planetary instructions.500 year time cycle. it turns out that the partner's behavior is a mirror of one's own unacknowledged projections. in the golden ages before the veda-shloka were written down.
