Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Sridhar, I am not aware of any classical elaborations of why inner planets (and lights) have only one full aspect whereas outer planets have two extra or special aspects in addition to the standard saptam drishti. However, I always thought that the clear division between the outer and inner into the two classes was responsible. See the outer planets are not bound by the earth-sun axis whereas the inner planets are bound within a narrow perimeter of the sun-earth axis. The movement of earth creates the apparent motion of the sun through the 12 rashis (Jyotish has many such apparents phenomena, including retrogressions, nodes etc which some people do not pay attention to in their education as a jyotishi or sometimes in their education as a "what!"). Venting aside (!), note that mercury is always within 28 degrees of the 'sun' (projected earth!) while venus is within 46 degrees or so of the sun (caveat: if you see venus in the fourth house from sun, something is weird!). The smallest or most nearsighted special drishti belongs to saturn, the 3rd drishti. It also has an asymmetrical drishtis as opposed to jupiter or mars (kendra and trikona) but I digress and I sure do not want to irritate anyone's pitta here! The third drishti can be as close as 31 degrees but more realistically is beyond venuses greatest separation from sun, about 45/46 degrees. I always thought that the maximum departure of inner planets from the sun had to do with why they were not given special drishtis. Venus, actually is pretty close to being the contender for a special drishti, because realistically, it could have the third drishti in some cases, for instance if sun was in aries 24 and venus in 5 degrees gemini (astronomically possible), there would be a loose third drishti (if saturn were in aries 24, it would be considered to caste a drishti on gemini, by many astrologers, right?). But, it does not caste that 3rd house drishti. Is that somehow tied to the allegory of Venus, Shukracharya being one eyed? I do not know for sure, because I only read astrology through books and many many charts. It was never showered upon me as revealed knowledge ;- ) RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 If you read Usha-Shashi's take on the third drishti of shani you may end up with a different view! I am only steering your attention to it not just because of saturn's third drishti but because of your demonstrated sense for pattern recognition and identification! Take it or leave it -- what I have noticed in life is that if you have a significant vocation/profession in this lifetime and ALSO a coexistent passion for astrology (any kind, even jyotish!) USE the skills that you have acquired and apply those to jyotish! JYOTISH is not some separate hallowed ground that was made available to us? JYOTISH is just an extension to the rest of our earthly experience that was waiting for US to finish whatever else we were focused on and then turn to it! Like the childhood sweetheart ... The person is gone, but the mission remains! Does this makes sense to anyone? Please do not post your reply but just get going ...!
