To Sreenadhji: Exaltation concept

[Guest guest]

Dear Kiran ji,

This is a question, already answered numerous times in this

group! Note this -

Exaltation means 'Sign of Exaltation' - the whole sign should be

considered exalted as per Brihat prajaptya.

The apt word that should be used for the 'degree of maximum

exaltation' in Sanskrit is "Paramocha"; we are erroneously replacing

the word "Paramocha" with "Ucha" (i.e. 'maximum degree of exaltation'

with the simple word 'exaltation') for the sake of simplicity and due to that

causing confusion to ourselves!!!! So follow and use the terminology as the

sages put it - and then there is no confusion, because then it is clear that -

* The degrees given in texts are 'maximum degree of exaltation'

(Paramocha)

* And the signs mentioned are 'Sign of exaltation' (Uchha)

 

We are speaking about 7th house; house = sign; The words house and sign

mean the same as per ancient indian astrology (as per Mihira, Krishneeya,

Saravli, Parasara, Yavana). So there is no need to mention degrees - whether it

be 1 degree or 29 degree Saturn is in 7th and the results will manifest for

sure; that is the approach of ancient indian astrology. No need for any

confusion or doubt on this.

<==

Forget Phaladeepika - it is a later day text; and there is no use

of shadbala in Rishi horas; so forget it as of now; and don't bring-in new

parameters.

 

Note: I am not saying that Shadbala is useless; it is useful; but here it

is out of context, and is NOT necessary.

Love and regards,

Sreenadh

The concept of houses/signs was made to divide zodiac into compartments

for logical analysis. So for exaltation we have to take closeness to

exaltation point irrespective of sign or otherwise.> > In
