Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Dear Shubhangi, Many Vedic astrologers use the outer planets. I will write something here that may not fall well on some ears but I think that the classics do not mention the outer planets simply because their existence was not known at that time. It is against human nature to kept away such important issues as planets in our solar system, especially in connection to astrology. There can't be RAYS from some planets and none from others within the same solar system as ours. >From my own experience of nearly 10 years I can only say that I often "save my neck" from people who like to test me (and astrology) by adding the judgement of Uranus in the chart to an analysis. Especially if it's a "quick and dirty" one (which I usually neglect to do). Neptune goes for the same but in a different way as it is "parked" on each degree for a very long time... Although there is no "Uranus dasa" I always use Uranus transits over sensitive points AND it's aspect relation with maha and antadasa planets. My best advice is: TEST IT YOURSELF!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Dear Jay, You say that the classics do not mention the outer ( I assume you mean the extra-Saturnine ), planets because their existence was not known then. My question is - why were the ancient astrologers unaware of these three planets ? If they could not only compute the positions of non-existent bodies like Rahu and Ketu, but also assign them with aspects and dasas, how could they have overlooked Uranus, Neptune and Pluto which, though not normally visible, were very much in existence? Astrologers today, who try to incorporate these three planets into the Vedic scheme, are rushing in where angels fear to tread ! When even the classics fail to reveal the logic behind ownership of rashis and the periods allocated to planetary dasas, can we, with our limited knowledge, venture to confer rulership of certain rashis to these planets and also work out their dasas ? I personally feel that Jyotish was "revealed" to the ancients. What was not relevant, was not revealed. So we would have to accept Jyotish in its entirety, or discard it completely. We are not more brilliant than the seers, that we can modify Jyotish whenever new planets are discovered ! If we do not abstain from doing this, we will be creating more confusion to this already difficult science. Just my two cents worth !

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Dear Jay, If I may intrude, it is not that the planets were not known, they may find mention by other names. The ancients also knew of other Solar systems and Siddhantas mention this. The reason for not considering them is the fact of the basic philosophy of Vedic Astrology, which gives status of 8 Vasus to 8 Planets including Rahu (Ketu being his half they are treated as one Planet). As a matter of fact though Upagrahas of planets are mentioned in ancient texts, it is only in recent years , much after the so called outer planets were discovered, that with space mission they became known to modern men. Some Vedic astrologers do use outer planets and if one able to interpret them correctly there may not be any harm in using them.But then there are some who use a pendulum over a chart to decide what Gem should be used by a querist.
