Dear All,

 

Many a times we finds quotes from neo writers of Astrology or interpretators,

which is worth spending some of the valuable time for evaluating them properly

before absorbing blindly.

 

The discussion below should prove the point. I have debiliberatly removed the

names except mine, for it is not proper to publish others names without their

concent or participation.

 

 

Misinterpretations of Classical works without corroborating the fundamental

principals

 

This is excerpt from another discussion.

 

1) What is " sakata yoga " ?

 

2) Does I am having the " sakata yoga " .since the planetary positions in my

chart--due to Moon being placed in the 12th house from Jupiter.

 

3) DOB:26-12-1980-----TOB:23:49

Answer: by me

 

There are two varients of Shakata Yoga.

 

1) When all the planets (sun to ketu) are placed in Lagna and 7th, Shakata yoga

is formed.

 

This is the view held by most of the acharyas.

 

2) If Jupiter is placed in the the 6th or 8th from moon and NOT in lagna kendra,

Shakata yoga is formed.

 

This varient is provided by Jataka Parijata, while it also mentions the first

view.

 

In both case the the effect is extreme poverty. It is given that even a person

born in royal family shall live by doing cooly work.

 

 

In your chart, the first type does not exist.

 

as per the second case: Jupiter is placed in the 2nd of moon (not 6th or 8th as

is required) and also in the Lagna itself (So in the kendra of lagna).

 

Hence Shakata Yoga does not exist in your chart as per both cases.

 

Hope this clears your doubts.

Dear xxxxxxxx,

Sakata Yoga as mentioned by Shri B.V.Raman in his book titled Three Hundred

Combinations,mentioned that effect of yogas could be felt in antar dasa of the

lords of 6th,8th and 12th.

The relevence of this yoga and the kind of effect depends on other issues like

strength of lagna,position of lagna lord and navamsa position of palnets.

Dear XXXXXXX,

As your moon is in 12th from jupiter there is sakata yoga.where as B.V.Raman in

his book ThreeHundred combinations contended that Moon in 6,8,12 H from jupiter

cuases sakata yoga leading to troubles.

By another astrologer

 

 

Counter Argument for the above:

 

I beg to differ on this. Moon in the 12th of Jupiter means Jupiter is in the 2nd

of Moon - A benefic in the 2nd of Moon & that too in the lagna which is Sunapha

Yoga.

 

So how can Sunapha Yoga caused by a benefic can also be Sakata Yoga. I am sure

Sages / acharyas who originally wrote those yogas are not that stupid.

Dear XXXXX,

 

My views on not much different from yours as far as practical application is

concerned.

 

However, the member asked a theoritical question & whether he as the said yoga

in his chart (theoriticaly).

 

Phaladeepika holds the same view as Jataka Parijata.

" jeeventyaaShTaarisaMsthe shashini tu shakaTaM

kendrage naasti lagnaa "

 

This is part of complete verse. I have given only the relevant portion.

 

The meaning : if Jupiter (Jeeva) - anthya - 12th , ashTa - 8th , ari - 6th from

shashini - moon is shakaTa, if not in the kendra of Lagna.

 

The problem arises when the verse / sentence is not taken completely.

 

Even so (half of the verse), I can understand Moon in the 6th or 8th. But in the

12th it comflicts with other yogas which are far more important than such

positions. benefics on either side of moon / lagna / sun constitute subha madhya

sthiti and is a natural / inborn protection from all illeffects, which is

termed as sunapha (bha) / anapha (bha) / vesi / vasi / subha kartari yogas.

 

off course their affliction / strength all matters in reality.

 

Manasagari holds the view just like other classics : all planets occupying lagna

& 7th.

 

kindly understand that my comment was not directed at you.

 

300 combination is not the bible of astrology nor Shree B.V.Raman is its

godfather.
