Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 I think it's the 1/60th divisional chart--Shastiamsha--quote from GJ's software: "Used in very fine tuning of predictions and judgment, it's suble impact is felt in the cases of twins born just minutes apart. the special deities ruling these divisions have important sway on the individual." You want your planets in a benefic shastiamsa. Some books give some interesting prediction details based on 'em. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Dear List Members, Can someone enlighten me as to what the Shastiamasha is and how it is determined for each planet. For instance, Goravani Jyotish say's this of my debilitated Mars, "The Shastiamsha is Deva which means "Divine" and is considered a benefic one". How is this determined and how would you use this information in general natal chart interpretation? Does this take a bit of an edge off of a challenged planet like my debilitated Mars? I know that Shastiamasha is one of the Harmonic Charts, but other than this I'm ignorant. I appreciate any insights you can offer. Namaste, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2001 Report Share Posted March 4, 2001 Robin, I would be interested to know what books you are referring to that give the predictions based on the shastiamsha's. Thanks! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a copy of this book, they left out pages 181-182 on this one--would you let me know what it says there? I really love going through some of these old books; my teenage son and his friends ask me for "cool names" from De Luce's book in particular for their characters in role-playing games. Mangal and Raaksha for warriors, and so forth. Got them interested in the Vedic stuff in a whole new way. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Robin, If the book - and esp. chapter on shashtiamsa -is based on De Luce´s "experience", it is very puzzling: his ayanamsa is about 4 degrees greater than Lahiri! regards Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
