Never saw a Jyotish source that identified Jupiter with Vishnu.

 

I understand that these are the correspondences between the astrological planets

and the Devas:

 

Sun -- Ganesha, Rama

 

Moon -- Shiva, Ganga

 

Mars -- Skanda, Hanuman

 

Mercury -- Vishnu

 

Jupiter -- Saraswati, Brahma

 

Venus -- Lakshmi, Durga

 

Saturn -- Krishna, Kali

 

Rahu -- Durga Mahishamardini

 

Ketu -- Rudra, Bhairava

 

But I know there is often disagreement. What set of correspondences were you

taught?

Kochu-ji,

 

Thanks very much for this info. I am aware that 5th and 9th are the

ones GENERALLY used to find istadevata. But in some cases, some

people say that the deity of the strongest planet is the ista even

when it is not in the 5th or the 9th. Also when the 5 and 9th lords

are debilitated and if there drishti of an exalted planet(eg Jupiter)

into the 5/9th, in this case the deity representing Jupiter i.e.

Vishnu is the Ista - is this correct?

 

There is also some differences as to what planet represents what

deity. Eg - generally in the South, Subramanya is the deity of Mars;

this makes sense, Subramanya is the general of the gods and his

warlike nature is similar to that of Mars; however in the Hora sastra

we find that Visnu is the ruler of Mars(not 100% sure of this though).

 

What are the indications of a Devi/Srividya upasak??

the ninth from 9th is used to see what devata the person did upasana

of in the past lives.
