Why venus is exalted in Enemy's Sign -- (Sarvath Chintamani, J.N. Bhasin)

[Guest guest]

||| Hare Rama Krishna |||

 

Dear List Members, Namaskaar.

 

Here is what I also found in Vyankatesh Sharma's "Sarvath Chintamani,"

as translated into English by J.N. Bhasin (Sagar Publications, 2002

Reprint). S.S. Sareen did some editing for the publication.

 

Thank you Chandrashekhar Ji for guiding me here.

(I did not look in the further chapters. Just offering Tarun and

others another thought, and remaining reflective, myself…)

Chapter 1

Translator's Note

 

"A question may be raised as to why a particular Planet gets

exalted in a particular sign an degree. So far as we are aware no

Author as answered this question. We, however, think that this

can be explained on the basis of spirituality to which astrology

owes all allegiance being its main limb. The 10th degree of Aries falls

in the asterism Ashvini whose lord is Ketu. Ketu has been declared

by astrology as the "Moksha" karaka i.e. the significator for

salvation. The Sun is very well known as the "Atma" in the Vedas."

 

Soorya Aatma JagatStaSyuShaCha

[sanskrit]

 

"Ths Sun in the 10th degree of Aries means Atma in Moksha,

obviously the highest state that the Atma can aspire to. Thus the

exaltation of the Sun in the 10th degree of Aries is perfectly in

consonance with the spiritual principles. Now, why is Sun exalted in

Aries and not in Leo or Saggitarius, for if availability of Ketu is the

criterion, this asterism is equally available in Leo and Saggitarius.

The answer to this part of the question in that Leo and Saggitarius

belong to the "Satvik" Sun and Jupiter. The signs of these planets

can hardly constitute a testing ground for the exalted Sun. It is only

the sign of the sinful Mars which can offer a suitable testing

ground for the purpose, for the Atma in Moksha is untouched by

sin."

(5) Venus gets exalted in the 27th degree of Pisces which falls in the

Asterism Revati belonging to Mercury. Venus, a most luxury loving

And sensuous planet, is normally averse to the precepts of the shastras

denoted by Jupiter. But when he gets the spiritual intellect of

Mercury, he gets changed spiritually and then Pisces constituting a

testing ground for him no longer remains a problem for him. No

other sign containing the asterism of Mercury is religious enough

to offer a testing ground to Venus."

Dear Nitin,

Theoretically, it would be brightest in particular degrees with

reference to being in other Rasi at identical degrees/ time of a day

in same ritu.

I would say that the planet would be more luminous in his exaltation

Rasi and getting gradually less so as it approaches its debilitation

point. This is what was meant by B. Surya Narainrao. So as Me. Rao has

said one who has patience to see this over period of time will be in a

position to state on what you have asked, authoritatively. Many

dispute Mr. Rao's statement. I prefer to think that what he said was

right.

Chandrashekhar.

Dear Chandrashekahar Ji and List Members, Namaskaar.

 

This has been an insightful post, and thank you for sharing this with us.

 

I have been reflecting on one thing, though...

(I do not have the said text with me at hand. Perhaps more is revealed

there, and I will also look into it when I get a chance.)

 

Would the Sun in Aries (or any other said planet in a classified state

of exaltation / debilitation), in the appropriate degree, be most

luminous during:

 

Sunrise

Mid-day

Sunset

Midnight

.....or at other times?

 

May the Gurus continue to guide us.

 

Best wishes and warm regards,

Nitin.
