Fwd: Moolatrikona - Which classic is correct?

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

So what is the Moola Trikona area that should be assigned to each planet - is

there any consensus/conclusion possible? If so based on what? By the way, what

are the applications of this Moola Trikona signs? I invite all to discuss this

subject in more detail.

Love and regards,

Sreenadh

Dear Vishnu,

 

As you said, there are a few variations in the matter moola trikona.

Moolatrikona of Venus

Parashara=0-15

Shambhu Hora = 0-15

Sarvartha Chinthamani = Thula(does not asign specific portions)

The commentator might have quoted the specific degrees from elsewhere).

Jataka Parijata = silent (only gives portions for Moon, Mars & Mercury)

Yavana Jataka= Thula(does not asign specific portions)

Jatakadesha =0-5

Saravali = 0-5

Hara Sara qoutes a verse supposed to be kalyana varma (Saravali) which gives

=0-15.

 

I have all these books & more.

 

However, Shree Harijayandan Namboothiri has commented that most acceptable

(kerala) is 0-5.

Shaunaka Hora does not assign any specific portions.

 

I could check if any other classical works has it. The difficulty is to find

it. At times it may be hidden in verses in some other portion, which even the

commentators may not have understood correctly.

 

In normal cases every astrologer usualy judges superficialy. It is only when one

prods further, that he may look closely.

  

However such things are very important in computation of shadbalas, Ayush Ganana

etc.

 

Hope this clears your doubt.

[kerala_vedic_astrology] Planets - Own signs -moolatrikonas -

Exaltation --Which classic is correct?

 

 

Dear list

 

There is some difference between classical authors when dividing the rasis into

own signs,moolatrikona and exaltation points

 

To cite an example,Whenever we see Sun in simha we always say sun is in his own

house.same way when we see moon in taurus ,we always say it is exalted

 

DO we ever bother to see whether it is in moolatrikona? Here " we " refers to most

of the astrologers in internet,print media.There are very few who know the

correct usage of this and they are exceptions.

 

Of course,software writers take into consideration the moolatrikona, own house

etc as they need it to calcualte the " balas "

 

I would like to know which classic they follow and also which classic i should

follow for correct results?

 

Just to cite an example,

 

For venus

 

phaladeepika says

 

Libra 0-5 is moolatrikona

 

libra 6-30 is Own house

 

BPHS says

 

Libra 0-15 is moolatrikona

 

libra 16-30 is own house

 

Subramanya shastri in his notes for translation of sarvarth chintamani.I dont

think this view is from Sarvarth chintamani though.He should have taken this

from some other source i believe.

 

libra 0-10 is moolatrikona

 

Libra 11-30 is own sign

 

Similiarly for Jupiter,

 

Bphs and phaladeepika says

 

Dhanus 0-10 is moolatrikona

 

dhanus 11-30 is own house.

 

Subramanya Shastri says

 

dhanus 0-24 is moolatrikona

 

Dhanus 25-30 is own house

 

Even if we can ignore the subramanya shastri's data for Jupiter which still

makes a big difference,we cannot leave venus and thula for granted.

 

As for example,dasa of venus being in moolatrikona and being in own sign gives

different results according to Sarvarth chintamani.

 

Unfortunately, since i dont have the other classics with me now,i am unable to

refer them.

 

Clarification and suggestions are welcome.

 

I hope Sureshji will be able to help me in finding the correct value for the

planets.

 

Thanks and best wishes
