Use and importance of Nakshatras

[Guest guest]

Due to the overwhelming interest in Nakshatras it may be relevant to point out

that (as Moon governs mind, and as all springs from mind), the nakshatra of

Moon has an overriding influence on the horoscope.

Apart from lagna, AtmaKaraka and (to a lesser degree) Sun, the nakshatras of

other planets impact (personally) on those for which they are karakas. For

instance, The nakshatra of Mars will impact upon the nature of younger siblings

(or those belonging to Mars' houses) more than on our own innate nature. The

nakshatra of Jupiter will impact more upon the nature of Guru, etc. (and those

belonging to Jupiter's houses) than on our own innate nature.

This is why, in classic texts, you will find the description of Moon in each

nakshatra emphasised...little or no importance is given (for other planets)

regarding the effect of nakshatra placement in relation to the native's own

innate nature, character etc...

 

Best Wishes,Wendy

Re: [GJ] Use and importance of Nakshatras

DearAll

 

Assuming that this is true, and there is not, to my understanding, any way to

prove that they were ORIGINALLY used for prediction, would that preclude using

them for greater understanding of an individual? It would seem to me that the

chart and all the various components in it may be used by various astrologers,

with various inclinations, in different ways.

 

I am much more interested in the nature of the individual and his ultimate

fulfillment of that than I am in what will happen to him next Tuesday. From

that perspective, the naks. are rich illuminating symbols. If, for example I

was focused instead upon how his business were going, I would see them

differently.

 

For me, I find that the business will work or not as a means of keeping the

native on track for his or her personal evolution.

 

If you are fulfilling your potential and meeting your challenges courageously

then whether the business makes it or not will not be as significant as if you

were clinging to the business as a means of defining yourself.

 

That may sound out there, but I truly believe that if the individual is in a

"good space" internally the outer world falls into place. No matter what the

experiences are. I find folks who have apparently easy charts and lives have

huge stress. Others with apparently huge obstacles manifest great courage and

acceptance. THe different between them typically lies between their ears.

That, in my opinion is not limited to the Moon's nak. but to the fulfillment of

the entire chart....including the outer planets.

 

But that is only one astrologers perspective and toolbox, another may have a

totally different approach. The great joy to me is that astrology has room for

all and for all to be useful and practical. Different clients are drawn to

different approaches so it only makes sense that we would use different tools

or the same one differently.

Dear Nicholas,

Yes! this is absolutely true. I think we've spoken before of the importance of

nakshatra lord when predicting dasa results.

Dear Wendy

Good points .There is a lot of classical information about the rising nakshtra also .

Suppose one is running Mars dasha and Mars is in Asvini (Ketu's nakshtra ) some

jyotishis opine that the native will get Ketu effects during this period .Is

their classical backing for this ?
