Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Do 'strong' and 'weak' aspects exist? Say Moon is aspected within 3 degrees of benefic Jupiter in chart1 and within 25 degrees of benefic Jupiter in chart2. Is the aspect of Jupiter in the first case stronger than the 2nd?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Anyway you are going to answer this... So do it straightaway in the first place itself... We cannot appear to be different by going against certain norms which are a part and parcel of rules which have been studied for generations and endorsed by the Great Ones...of that field. , " kiran.rama " <kiran.rama wrote: > > Do 'strong' and 'weak' aspects exist? > > Say Moon is aspected within 3 degrees of benefic Jupiter in chart1 and within 25 degrees of benefic Jupiter in chart2. > > Is the aspect of Jupiter in the first case stronger than the 2nd? > > Thanks > Kiran > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Namaste, Parasara gave a way to quantify planetary aspects. You need not just say " strong " or " weak " aspects, but you can actually *quantify* the strength of a planetary aspect. Parasara gave explicit formulas. These are used by everybody in finding " drishti bala " (aspectual strength), which is a part of shadbala (sum of 6 strengths). However, people tend to ignore it when considering aspects in horoscope analysis and only use it in shadbala calculation. That is quite illogical. * * * Suppose someone has Jupiter at 26Pi08, Saturn at 26Cp51 and Mercury at 13Le24. Normally, people assume that Saturn has a full aspect on Jupiter and do not consider Mercury's aspect on Jupiter. However, if you strictly use Parasara's formulas (which are used by software programs to calculate shadbala!!), Saturn's aspect on Jupiter is only 24% (Jupiter is at the end of 2nd house from Saturn and not in the 3rd house). Mercury's aspect on Jupiter is 64.38%. Mercury's aspect on Jupiter is much larger in strength than Saturn's aspect on Jupiter. * * * In Jagannatha Hora 7.4 to be released, there is an option to view the percentage of aspect of each of the eight planets on various points in the zodiac (lagna, house cusps, planets, special lagnas, upagrahas, 12 arudha padas and 12 houses from them etc, in all divisional charts).
