Dear Respected members

 

'' The aspects that quantitatively modifies the properties and

significations by imparting characteristics of the aspecting and

aspected planets are always the ones that arise out of a defined

geometrical configuration. Such aspects cannot be existing in amsa

charts unless the design framework of amsa charts are modified from

that laid down by Sage Parasara.''

 

''Therefore, the total of 16 vargas giving rise to 144 aspects (not

counting special aspects of outer planets) does seem to be an

unnecessary complication that is not warranted by the definition of

aspects resulting in drikbala. Those aspects which do not have

aspectual strengths obviously cannot be equated on the same par to

those whose aspectual strength can be quantified.''

 

''Vedic classics texts do mention that strengths of Yogas are

inversely dependant on the inter-planetary distance within a

sign.Lot of post parasara writings speak about Yogas in amsa

charts. How do these authors assign orbs, and consequently strength

of Yogas when planets are conjunct in amsa chart signs?''

 

''My common sense does see a necessity for longitude to justify

aspect in meaningful fashion, for aspect that cannot be

quantitatively ascertained has to be considered as an inferior

parameter to sputadrishti which can be quantitatively assessed. In

my experience, it is not only unjustified to treat aspects in amsa

charts the same way as one treats it in birth chart, but also

leaving out aspects from amsa charts do not take away any of the

thunder out of any predictions in Vedic Astrology.''
