Ucche, Swakshetra and Moolatrikona

[Guest guest]

|| Om Namah Shivaaya ||

Dear list members, Namaskar.

An especially warm welcome back to Visitji. It seemed like an

eternity you were away!

I am trying to understand some of the fundamentals of Jyotish... a part

of which involves explaining the Ucche, Swakshetra and Moolatrikona of

all the planets, based on what they signify. I'm trying to compile

a complete list of explanations based on a lesson that Vistji posted on

this list a long while back. I'm stuck on a few and would be very

grateful for some help:

Saturn: Moolatrikona for Saturn is Aquarius, the 11th house of the

natural zodiac. Please help me understand why this is. Given

that Saturn would like us to give freely, why is its duty in the house of

gains?

Mercury: Moolatrikona is the 6th house, Virgo. Mercury's

Ucche is also in Virgo. Again, I can't explain these two.

Please guide me.

Sun: His Ucche is Aries, the 1st house. How do we explain

this? Doesn't the Sun represent the supersoul - the antithesis of

ego? Then why does he enjoy being in the first house?

Mars: His Moolatrikona is Aries, the 1st house. Is this

because his duty is to foster individuality and the ego?

If the learned members would consider it of benefit, perhaps I could post

my attempt at the complete set of explanations, for correction and

discussion.

With reverence to the Gurus,

Samir

*** The 11th house is 6th house from the 6th house if you count.This then also

becomes the house of 'Hara'.This is where we face the punishment for our

sins.Saturn is dharamraaj.He punishes those who sin and blesses those who

follow dharma.This is how he works. > > Mercury: Moolatrikona is the 6th house,

Please guide me. ***The 6th house indicates our sins and Virgo is the symbol of

purity [the virgin].This explains how one can remain pure and stay away from

sins.Mercury is symbolic of the 'Bhudhi' which guides our actions.If we remain

pure in our thoughts and actions we can rise above the indications of the 6th

house.

> Sun: His Ucche is Aries, the 1st house. How do we explain this? > Doesn't the

Sun represent the supersoul - the antithesis of ego? > Then why does he enjoy

being in the first house? *** The Sun is also like the King.He is the giver.If

the king has nothing to give then it cannot feel happy.The sign Aries is the

most royal sign and the Sun gets exalted here as he feels he is in his

kingdom.Sun placed in lagna similarly can give the highest form of intellegence

and knowledge. > > Mars: His Moolatrikona is Aries, the 1st house. Is this

because > his duty is to foster individuality and the ego? *** Mars gives

strength and is also the Army head in the planetary cabinet.The royal sign of

Aries once again requires the army head.Its here Mars can serve the king and

command.

differnt ways and have a deeper meaning.

Best Wishes, Kanupriya.
