spiritual traits in birth chart

[Guest guest]

Dear sir/Madam,

 

I have recently joined this group. I have two questions......

 

What would be the primary traits in the birth chart for someone who

has a strong spiritual tendency - for eg any signs for sanyaasa in the

birth chart? or even work in a spiritual service role?

 

What are the effects of being under Budh Mahadasa and Ketu antar dasha?

 

Thanks.

 

P.S. would anyone on this board do a horoscope reading? Please let me

know.

Dear Mini,

 

The spiritual aspects of a horoscope constitute a vast ocean of

possible parameters, and I have covered this in much detail in my

book, The Spiritual Dimensions of Vedic Astrology. A few initial

guidelines may be born in mind, however, in order to get you started:

 

1. Dharma may be considered the "essence" of something, and with

regard to the individual Atma, its dharma is that he (the soul) is an

eternal spark of the Infinite and all-pervasive Spirit, which we call

Paramatma. The extent to which the Atma - through the continuum of

many prior human births - is cogizant of this fact, is proporionately

the level to which he is spiritually advanced.

 

2. In the horoscope, the Dharma of the native is seen through the

first of three trikona house, 1, 5, and 9. Raja yoga, Lakshmi-yoga,

Dharma-karmadhipati yoga, and numerous other combinations too many to

list here, should involve the lords of these houses as well as lords

of kendra (angular) houses.

 

3. The luminaries, Sun and Moon, as well as Jupiter are Sattvic

grahas, and there yogas, positions, strength, and general

participation in the horoscope framework should be noted carefully to

assess the spiritual strengths of the native. Yogakarakas, even if

natural malefics, which form Raja-yoga with these three, will

contribute greatly to the spiritual possibilities of the native in

life, both in the matter of individual realization, as well as in the

form of karma, or work in the world to spread these principles on

behalf of humanity.

 

4. The Chara (variable) Atmakaraka is the planet attaining the

highest degrees in its sign, and represents the Atma of the soul whose

horoscope is being examined. His position and strength in the Navamsa

chart, as well as Shastyamsa (D-60) varga charts, will also reveal the

strength and purity of the Atma's spiritual realization. The Vimsamsa

chart may be examined for the sum total of spiritual advancement,

while the timings of events related to the native's spiritual life may

be seen in this varga chart through the D-20 Narayana dasa, as well as

Drig dasa.

 

5. Dharma may also be calibrated taking into account the strength of

trikonas in the Navamsa chart, as well as trikonas relative to the

Karakamsa lagna (the Navamsa position of the AK). If benefics occupy

the trikona houses from the KL, then the native is well-versed in

sadhana, prayers and services (bhakti) which propitiate specific

Deities. If malefics occupy such positions, but in strength or

forming strong yogas, then the person may be well-versed in logic

(Nyaya), strict austerities (Tapasya), as well as mantra-shastra. If

the AK himself occupies the Lagnamsa (Navamsa lagna) in strength, then

the person has attained great spiritual strength and lives as if a

King (Raja-yoga).

 

6. If the AK (in the rasi chart) joins the PiK, then Raja-yoga (all

yogas relative to spirituality) forms; if the AK and the PK join in

the lagna or in the 5th house, Raja-yoga results; if the 1st lord and

5th lord exchange signs (houses), Maha-Raja-yoga results; and if the

AK joins the lagna lord in the 5th, 7th, or 9th houses, then Raja-yoga

relating to spirituality results.

 

7. The specific lessons or challenges that may be part of the Atma's

spiritual evolution may be seen by way of the planet becoming the AK.

For example, if the AK is the Sun, then issues regarding humility or

subduing pride may be important to implement in life; if the AK is

Mars, then non-violence and Ahimsa are among the lessons needed to be

learned; if Jupiter is the AK, then the Atma must pay close attention

to the roles of guiding others (guru). These principles are general,

yet provide a groundwork understanding of what specific aspects of

life-experience will contribute to the soul's spiritual advancement.

 

There are many other dictums and passages in the Jyotish classics

wherein the Maharishis have given directives as to the spiritual

evolution of the native. I have written about these in my book, in

which you can find not only many instructions, but many case

illustrations as well. If there is a particular aspect of the above

brief summary that you would like elaboration on, you may write to me

and I will email you an excerpt to the related chapter in my book.

Purchasing the entire book, of course, would give the subject context

and much, much more, however.

 

Best wishes, and I hope this helps!
