Thank you.

 

Progression of Bhrigu Bindu, planetary positions and sahamas in natal charts is

well-known. Some people even progress sahamas in annual Tajaka charts.

 

Progressing sahamas in Tithi Pravesha charts is a natural extension of this

known approach. Progressing Bhrigu Bindu is also a simple extension of an

existing idea.

 

My only contribution is to refine the progression to be a non-linear progression

based on Tribhagi Vimsottari dasa. Most people use linear progression, i.e. the

point being progressed takes the same amount of time to progress through

different nakshatras.

 

In all honesty, this is very interesting, but not reliable in practical

predictions. It is a hit-or-miss technique. Either you get a result that is too

accurate or you don't get even an approximate result. Dasas likes Tithi

Ashtottari dasa are far more reliable with Tithi Pravesha charts, though they

give you only a one-month or two week period.

 

In fact, there may be other mid-points that can be progressed. For example, when

I physically met my spiritual guru for the first time on 2005 Oct 2, progressed

mid-point of lagna and Jupiter was exactly at the longitude of Mars, who owns

the 12th house and is exalted in the 9th house of guru in the annual TP chart

(within a few arc-min).

 

Similarly, in the second example below, the progressed midpoint of lagna and

Mercury (karaka for education) exactly touched the longitudes of Sun and Jupiter

in a raja yoga in the 4th house of education when the event took place.

 

These could be coincidences or part of a beautiful pattern.

 

There is a lot to be researched and discovered in Jyotish. One has to find

techniques that work in real life with reasonable accuracy and use them to help

people, but also spend some time researching and refining less-known techniques

such as these progression methods. Jyotish is a vast ocean.

 

May the light of Brahman shine within,

Narasimha
