[sjvc] Some Doubts on the basicsDear Frank, Namaste, I am reading Saravali and

encountered several discussions that bring some doubts to mind: 1. Sun and moon

do not get involved in planetary war and therefore not subjected to Nipeedita?

True. Surya and Chandra are lights, and thus immortal. The only grahas they

fear are Rahu and Ketu. There would be more on Graha Yuddha in future, I

suppose there would be an independent lesson on it... 2. Only the 5th and 9th

are considered *strickly* trines and not Lagna. According to the commentator,

R.Santhanam, the Lagna is not designated as a trine in any standard Jyotish

literature e.g. Horasara, Phal Deepika, etc. I Can see that the Lagna is 9th

from the 5th and 5th from the 9th - posing a reasonable argument that it too is

a trine. Yet, the Lagna is then designated ONLY as a Kendra… can one

of the Guru's comment on this? We beleive that Lagna is both Trikona and

Kendra. You see trikona( three konas). Lord of Lagna is always auspicious,

being lord of kendra and kona (Yog Karak). It is true that most of the authors

recognized Lagna as kendra only, for reasons of strength. Lagna is strong as

kendras are strong. However, it is auspicious for owner of chart as konas are

auspicious. For the strength reason, I suppose langa was omitted from Konas.

3. Planets rulerships - ( chapt 7, sloka 13) Sun - rules the things I am

familiar with , gold, kings BUT why poison ( Rahu owner?) , weapons ( Mars

owner?), Mantras ( Jupiter I also cannot agree that Sun rules poison. Sun

with Rahu would give one expert in posines if in trines to Navamsa.. for

weapons- sun rules light weapons, such as knife. Mantras- sun rules the Temple,

and the East is place of worship, so Sun naturally rules Mantras as well. Moon

rules water, salt, etc. BUT why sesamum ( Sani owner?), arrows ( Mars

owner?)Yes sesamum is under Shani, but Moon rules all flora and fauna....

Arrows are mars and Guru (dhanu) Mars rules blood, copper, army, red cloth. (

OK) Mercury rules earth, minerals BUT why King ( Sun owner?), gold ( Sun

owner?) Not King but Prince, not gold but mixed metals Jupiter rules virtue,

auspiusiousness, BUT why gold ( Sun owner?) , bed ( Venus owner?), conveyance (

Venus or Sani owner?)Guru also rules gold, bed in temrs of regalship, not

pleasures, conveyance is Venus, but Guru holds exaltation of Venus so he would

promote comforts.. Venus rules diamonds, ornaments, BUT why education? (

Jupiter or Mercury owners?)Not education, just artistic skills Saturn rules

black, lead, iron, etc but why dead relatives ( Rahu owner?) Saturn is Yama,

the lord of Death Hope that it helps, Best wishes, Zoran -- Zoran Radosavljevic
