Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Dear Jane Eacn nakshatra spans 13 degrees 20 minutes or 13 X 60 plus 20 minutes = 800 minutes . Revati stretches from 16 degrees 40 minutes to 30 degrees in Pisces . Now at the time of the woman's death 59.9 % of Mercury dasha had passed . ..599 X 800 equals 479.2 minutes or 7 degrees 59.2 minutes So basically we progress from 16 degrees and 40 minutes by 7 degrees and 59 minutes and arrive at a point of 24 degrees and 39 minutes . This is the point that was activated by the nakshatra dasa at the time of the woman's death . Hope this helps Nicholas - Jane O. Gutierrez GJList Tuesday, January 08, 2002 11:20 AM [GJ] Fw: Nakshatras-Dasas Dear Nicholas,I'm asking for a lesson to understand Martin Gansten's information about Nakshatras. Would you please answer my questions, in italics, at the bottom? Thank you! From Martin Ganston: We tend to think of Vimshottari dashas as blocks of time belonging to the nine planets. As I was recently reminded, however, they belong primarily to the nakshatras: Vimshottari is an udu- or nakshatra-dasha. This has certain consequences in forecasting. The Horasara 31.4-5 states (and is echoed by Jatakaparijata 18.26): 'In the dasha of a constellation holding a malefic planet, one meets with suffering. As far as [it] has gone in the constellation of the dasha ruler, at that [corresponding time] one should predict its result. If in one of the three groups [of stars] (trimandala), a malefic stands bereft of strength, and is not conjunct a benefic, one will meet with death at the end of the dasha.'In other words, the dasha of any nakshatra will, at the appropriate time, give the result of the planets occupying that nakshatra, or its trinal nakshatras. According to this model, the result of a planet occupying the beginning of Asvini, Makha, or Mula will be felt at the beginning of Ketu dasha; etc.Many nakshatras, of course, will be untenanted; and even those holding planets will not give the results of these planets throughout the dasha. Hence the planetary ruler of the nakshatra/dasha will make its influence felt most of the time. But as, in judging a house, 'occupation is more important than rulership', so it may be with dashas too. The particular chart which reminded me of this rule was one that I have mentioned previously (now again brought to my notice by Tommy Larsen): a woman born on 13 January, 1959, at 21:30 CET, Copenhagen, Denmark, with 25Le15 rising. She died from cancer on 1 September, 1997, in Mercury dasha Rahu bhukti. To be precise, 59.9% of Mercury dasha had passed. Another way of expressing this would be to say that the Moon had progressed to a point 59.9% into Mercury's nakshatra Revati, or 24Pi39, conjunct not only Ketu at 24Pi11, but also the 8th cusp at 25Pi23. At the time of death, this point was transited by Saturn at 25Pi51."Would you be so kind as to type out the math of this?
