Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Dear Vishwanatham ji Thanks for your reply. Natal chart is the basis for division and not the Kshethra.Kshethra is just one among the 16 divisions.Remaining vargas are not derived from Kshethra.As per definition Kshethra spans the full sign,rasing doubts in you.Also results are given when a planet or lagna is placed in the first varga viz.Kuja kshethra, Surya kshethra etc.Here we are not refering to just 30 degrees but both the signs lorded by Kuja.Similarly Hora spans one half and drekkana one third. There may be many signs which are not having any planet in a chart, and are we dividing those 30 degrees?Thus natal chart and the position of planets forms the basis. Also why should we think the natal chart as a division? Is it logical? Basically divisions are functions of the main. In a horoscope we analyse strengths,nature and results of planets and lagna.Vargas tell us more about each of these entity in detail. Once we start thinking what is a varga followed by the understanding that vargas are divisional dispositions of Planets and Lagna , i beleive most of the doubts will be cleared. Construction of vargas advised by parashara are also based on the above principles. I know we need to approach with an open mind due to the deep rooting.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Dear Pradeep, If I may add, Rasi and Kshetra are synonymous, as are Bhavan and many other words. Chandrashekhar. Pradeep Kumar wrote: Dear Vishwanatham ji Let me make it clear that my idea is not to argue.Pls consider this as a clarification. You have written- ''Now, digressing a bit, Parasara presented a schema, which has 16 vargas. This includes D-1,as we know. Jaimini added a few more divsions, and spoke about seeing yogas in d3 & d9 as well''. Could you or learned members kindly refer to any classics where Parshara or other sages have mentioned Rashi chart(Natal Chart) as the first division.This will be helpful in learning. My understanding has been - First division is the Kshethra ,second Hora and so on.When a planet or lagna is in Aries or Scorpio we commonly call it being placed in Kuja Kshethra(Division -1 or D-1).When a planet or lagna is in the first half of an odd sign we call it being placed in Surya Hora.(Division -2 or D-2).When Rashi is used without any qualification it refers to Sign(Dhanu Rashi, Meena Rashi etc). Kindly take this in a right spirit.I may be wrong.Local astrologers who are having no access to internet and thus unaware of D-1,D-2 nomenclature,but aware of vargas defined by parashara have expressed the same opinion as above.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 can say Budha Rashi/Kshethra or Kuja Rashi/Kshethra for the first varga. But whether we call it as Rashi or kshethra ,the underlying meaning is important.(What is in a name, that we call by a rose would smell as sweet by anyother - Shakespear)Results has been given for 1)A planet or lagna placed in Rashi or kshethra of Kuja or other planets.(When he says Kuja kshethra - it gives similar results, irrespective of whether it is placed in Scorpio or Aries).2)A planet or lagna placed in Hora of Surya or Chandra(When he says Surya Hora - it gives similar results irrespective of whether the concerned Surya hora is derived from Aries or Taurus or Gemini or cancer or any of the 12 signs).It points to the behaviour of tattwa lorded by a planet.3)And so on.I never said divide space, not time etc. A chart is a snapshot of space at a point in time. When we say divide, we are not dividing anything - rather we are looking the various positions at a point in time. For example you can say Mr. A is Living in India at the moment, You can also say he is living in the state of Maharashtra at the moment, You can also say he is living in the Metro of Mumbai at the moment, You can also say he is living in Andheri at the moment- all are true. Similarly you can say my lagna is in the navasmha of cancer,my lagna is in the drekkana of aries, My lagna is in the Hora of Surya, My lagna is in the kshethra of Guru etc at a point in time( i.e. our birth time).Here we are looking at the location of a person/Lagna at a point in time in a Country/chart. Andheri shows locality closer to the person's situation and navamsha shows our environments closer to our soul, among the example considered. When we take shastyamsha it shows further closeness,explaining higher point in vimshopaka bala. Similar exercise can be done for other planets. This is what Parashara has advised us and gave us rules to find amshas. We are thinking of houses because of the institutionalization of Vargas as full charts.We may start thinking - what is the navasmha of our Lagna, drekkana of our lagna ,hora of our lagna instead of what is the Lagna in dashamsha chart. In the second approach we may think dashamsha as a separate entity, which is not. It is an inherent part of Rashi chart.Parashara knew that a planet or lagna has specific importance when placed in different amshas.Thus he said hora is for wealth and drekkana for siblings as they are more external and panchamsha for intelligence observed at an outerlevel and sidhamsha for sidhi or finer abilities.House is an attribute of natal chart as they represent a sign in full in the zodiac and also follows the same order. But when we say cancer navamsha this can be cancer tattwa not only in cancer rashi but from scorpio rashi or sag rashi or any of the rashis. This depends on which rashi our planet or lagna is placed. Thus these are neither full norfollowing order to be considered as houses.I have tried to explain my understanding. This can be thought over and can be accepted or rejected.There has been no attempt to debate for the seek of debate. This is just a honest attempt within the limitations of my Budhi.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Dear Vishwanatham ji Thanks for your reply. Rashi or kshethra is a sign and hence the first varga.I think you are having rashi chakra as the first varga in mind and hence the confusion. For the same reason 16 vargas are part of the Rashi chakra or natal chart.How to arrive at the 16 divisions from the natal chart has been given by parashara in BPHS.(Thus i dont understand why parashara should say rashi & 15 vargas???) All the divisionals are derived from natal chart.D-1(kshethra or rashi) is the first varga.These formulas are very clear and evident and thus one hundred percent. Vishwanatham ji i have no more logic or communication skills to explain better.I have only explained what Parshara has advised on how to construct 16 Vargas from natal chart,there has been no assumption or invention. You can judge, and accpet as well as reject.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Dear Vishwanatham ji Thanks for your mail.I was busy and hence not been browsing. Unfortunately there are no full signs in Vargas.They are just tattwas lorded by planets.When Hora(D-2) is one half of any sign and Drekkan (D-3) is one third of any sign, Kshethra or (D-1) should obviously be, full sign. Also another point had been raised numerous times in the past.How will you consider houses in Parashara Hora as all planets will be either in sun/moon hora or just in one of those?.Why should the ''divisional Hora chart '' alone be free of any 'yogas' as you have mentioned?.
