Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Dear Juliana, Sorry, I am not able to understand your point no.3 as it contradicts the meaning from one sentence to another.This is where we faild to perceive the ancient sacred vision. In former sentence of the point no.3 you told the nodals(Rahu and Ketu) gives the results in respect of their associated and aspected stars and again in later sentence you say they also rediate the result as per their position at rashi.So do you mean to say nodals are rediating their energies in accordance with their association and aspects of the planets and also with their respective position of the rasis in total. You also say this has been written by Mr Whilliem? Please clarify to avoid further confusion. With best wishes, P K Tripathy. --- Juliana Swanson <omhamsa wrote: > Dear Mr. Tripathy, > > With respect, as you are "surprised to see the > result of Ketu+jup- > higher fields of knowledge in [your] 30 years of > experimental and > applied astro," I am sure it would be beneficial if > would kindly > illuminate us with your understanding of Ketu+Jup. > > I would like to mention a few points for discussion, > if you will. > > 1.
