DWADs in Western Astrology

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I came across an interesting topic explained by one of the senior Astrologer and

author Sri Babulu Ji from Andra Pradesh in another forum. I am just sharing this

for the benafit of the group.. And would also like to learn more from the

learned members here.

 

Dwadasamsa usually abbreviated as " dwad " in the western astrology.

 

Leipert, the mentor of Thyrza Escobar the eminent astrologer who wrote the book

" the 144 Doors of the Zodiac " , a Dwad technique, used the term Duodenary and

Duodecimal which means twelfth .

 

Liepert gave due credit to the Hindus for the Dwads; but he also contended the

the Dwads must have been known and used by the Chaldean astrologers as well.

 

Here each sign of 30 degrees is divided into 12 parts consisting of 2.30 degrees

each, making the zodiac into 144 duodenary divisions.

She expressed that `There is zodiac within each sign. And there is also a wheel

of houses within ach sign'.

On the page of her book it is available the classification of dwad.

 

*Personal interests 1,5 and 9th dwads*

 

Beginnings, current interests, present 1

Enterprises from personal past, play 5

Trends and plans and personal future 9

 

*Achievement 2,6 and 10 dwads*

 

Talents, resources with which to work 2

How native adjusts and works it out 6

How native masters and achieves 10

 

*Relatedness 3,7 and 11 dwads*

 

'Kin folk' relatives by blood 3

Those met; openly for or against 7

Those known associates 11

 

*Feelings 4,8 and 12 dwads*

 

Familiar feelings, sense of roots 4

Intense emotion, sex, release 8

Unconscious, undercurrents repression 12

 

In table 25 on page 44 she categorised how Native moves along through life

 

The Physical world and how the native Acts 1,4,7 and 10 dwads 1 dwad Native

himself, own actions, wherever he is in

4th dwad At home or on familiar ground, end of matters

7th dwad In public or openly with others

10 dwad In command or regarding authority

 

The Emotional world and how the native expresses emotion 2,5,8 and 11

dwads

 

2 dwad About what native has and what he values, tangibly.

5 dwad About heart interests, loved ones, dramatically.

8 dwad About intense emotions, transitions, investigatingly.

11 dwad About friends, associates, circumstances, wishfully.

 

The Mental World and how the native thinks 3,6,9 12 dwads

 

3 dwad The conscious, concretely (reason)

6 dwad The subconscious, automatically (habit)

9 dwad The super conscious, abstractly(theory)

12 dwad The unconscious, imaginatively(fantasy),intuitively(mystery).

 

The book can be had from American Federation of Astrologers, Arizona, USA.

 

These are called hormonics in western astrology. In hindu astrology these are

called shodasavargas.
