Degree on planet- Basic doubt

[Guest guest]

Dear List members and Gurujis,

Om Tat Sat

 

What is degree of planet? Is it related to position of

planet in the Rasi/house or speed? In line with this I

am unable to imagine the scenario of returning planet.

Does planet with low degree has malefic effect?

 

I am just thinking about the geographical behavior of

planets speed. What is effect of planet transiting

from one rasi to other rasi.ie Planet at the border

position?

 

I have Jupiter in Scorpio at 3 degree in 4th house.

Does that mean, I need to strengthen the power of

Jupiter. However I have Jupiter is in cancer and in

4th house in Navamasa along with Rahu.

 

Best Regards,

Deepak

Dear Deepak,

 

Your questions can't ordinarily be answered, because they aren't ordinarily

framed. I'll make an attempt at them, though I ain't sure what exactly you

want, if at all...

[vedic astrology] Degree on planet- Basic doubt

It's the position (in degrees, of course) of a planet reckoned in relation

to a point on earth; the point being there where the native is born. The

position is on the backdrop of the zodiac, which is a series of imaginary

houses plastered in space. See the three enclosed line sketches; things

might fall in place.

 

 

Is it related to position of planet in the Rasi/house or speed?

 

 

The position in the rasi. Think of a horoscope as a photograph, a snapshot

of the zodiac in time, captured at the instant of birth from the point on

earth where the birth occurs. The speed of planets comes into play for

predictions but has little to do with its position in a rasi when you're

considering an instant.

 

 

In line with this I am unable to imagine the scenario of returning planet.

 

You mean a retrograde planet, don't you? Save for Ra and Ke, no planet

actually moves backwards in the zodiac. But since they're all viewed in

relation to earth, the position of earth along its path of revolution around

the Su sometimes causes some planets to be seen as either stationary or

backward-moving. It's an illusion, that's all, though this retrogression has

significance in predictions. When you jog past a walking man, it would

appear that the bloke is walking backward, while he isn't. Get it?

 

 

Does planet with low degree has malefic effect? I am just thinking about the

geographical behavior of planets speed. What is effect of planet transiting

from one rasi to other rasi.ie Planet at the border position?

 

 

A loaded question. You'll have to study avasthas to get the answer you're

looking for. Depending on whether a house is even or odd-numbered, planets

with low degrees get to be either in baala or mudi avasthas, which directly

affect how potent they can be. Use that, and the temporary beneficience /

maleficience of planets to figure out the answers. Frankly, if you're a

bare-bones beginner, avasthas can be studied at a slightly later stage.

 

That said, there are three junctions in the zodiac, each 6-something degrees

wide, where any planet can turn dangerous if placed. These are in the Cn-Le,

Sc-Sg and Pi-Ar junctions, and are termed gandantas. Usually, those planets

that get placed here destroy the houses they lord.

Strengthening Jup can't hurt. It'll do your longevity good, since 8L is 9th

from its house, but then children might become mediocre because 5L is in

12th from its house. So there!!
