Ithasala Yoga

 

Dear C. Selvaraj, Namaste.

 

I feel "new" to Jyotisha and Prasna Tantra all the

time, too, though I have been studying a number of

years, so don't feel bad.

 

I know...it has been mind boggling for me to

understand these Tajika aspects, too. Again, I

recommend you try to get a copy of Gayatri Devi

Vasudev’s book _Practical Horary Astrology_ from which

I have received most of my understanding.

 

First you may want to understand one of the areas of

confusion that I have had, which is that these Tajika

aspects are bi-directional, as in Western aspects. For

example, take a Tajika sextile or 60-degree aspect

between Saturn at 10 degrees of Cancer and the Moon at

10 degrees of Virgo. According to my understanding,

Saturn in this case aspects the Moon, and the Moon

also aspects Saturn, and to form such a sextile

relationship, it does not matter which planet is

further in the order of the zodiac or bhavas, they

both aspect each other, forward and backward.

 

However, in Parasari planetary aspects, the aspects

only go forward, as in the case of Saturn at 10

degrees of Cancer aspecting by its special aspect

three signs ahead to the Moon at 10 degrees of Virgo.

Though this would be a bi-directional sextile aspect

according to Tajika principles, it is only one way

forward in Parasari. Do you see what I mean?

 

Once you have that understanding, memorize the other

aspects which are bi-directional, as well: The

conjunction or 0-degree aspect; the semi-sextile or

30-degree aspect; the square or 90-degree aspect; the

trine or 120-degree aspect; the opposition or

180-degree aspect.

 

Unlike with Parasari astrology, the aspects in Tajika

can be good or bad. Note that the conjunction is

caused when 2 planets are in the same degree and it

may be benefic or malefic; the semi-sextile is caused

by 2 planets 30 degrees apart (2/12), and is weakly

benefic and MAY bring good results with effort; the

sextile is caused by 2 planets 60 degrees apart (3/11)

and is benefic with effort.; the trine is caused by 2

planets 120 degrees apart (in mutual Trikonas) and is

very auspicious; the square is caused by 2 planets 90

degrees apart (kendras or 4/10) and reveals stress,

obstacles and possibly failure; and, the opposition is

also malefic caused by 2 planets 180 degrees apart

(Samasaptama or 7/7) and indicates struggle,

hopelessness and failure to achieve the goal.

 

Ok, once you get that down, note the orbs of influence

beyond which a planet will be effective. Sun=15;

Moon=12; Mars=8; Mercury=7; Jupiter=9; Venus=7; and

Saturn=9. If the aspect is exact, it is called partile

(perfect) and there is no problem, but otherwise, add

the orbs of the two planets and divide the sum by two.

If the aspect is beyond this number, there is no

aspect. For example, say you have a sextile between

the Sun at 5 degrees Leo and the Moon at 25 degrees

Libra. Add the two orbs-15+12=27 divided by 2=13.5.

The difference beyond the sextile between the Sun and

Moon is greater than this, so you have no aspect.

 

To make it MUCH easier, some astrologers say just use

2 padas (6 degrees/40 min) as an orb for all aspects.

 

Besides the aspects, you also have to consider the

naturally benefic or malefic status of the planets, as

for example, a trine between Saturn and Mars will be

less favorable than one between Venus and Mercury.

 

Now my understanding is that you use the Tajika yogas

with these aspects I have discussed. For example,

Ithasala Yoga is a yoga formed by planets involved in

one of the aspects we discussed, like a conjunction,

sextile trine, etc. The rule is for this yoga, “Caused

when a faster planet with less longitude is behind a

slower planet with more longitude. This is a benefic

yoga.” So for example, if Jupiter is at 5 degrees of

Pisces, and the Moon is at 2 degrees of Taurus

(sextile), we have a faster planet with less longitude

BEHIND a slower planet with more longitude. This

stumped me for the longest time, as I kept thinking

that ‘behind” had something to do with the order of

houses or signs. But "behind" just means it has a

lower longitudinal number, I am pretty sure. If it

occurs within a half degree as in this example, we

have Muthaseela, a very auspicious aspect.

 

Ithasala is the same as an applying aspect in Western

astrology, which is an aspect, not yet exact, in which

the planets are approaching the angle specified by the

aspect. After the aspect has formed and become exact,

the planets begin to Separate, which is called

Easarapha, an unfavorable yoga caused when a faster

planet with greater longitude is ahead of a slower

planet with less longitude.

 

Note that if the two planets are retrograde, you have

no Ithasala. If the slower planet is retrograde, the

yoga is more powerful as the two planets are still

approaching. When the faster planet is retrograde, it

is not approaching, and there is no Ithasala.

 

I hope this helps,

Best wishes,

Juliana Swanson
