Certain clarifications.

[Guest guest]

Dear Viji,

 

You asked certain questions and my response to them is as follows:

 

1. Could you point out any signification which is favourite or

good involving 5th and 8th? That is to say, 5th lord in 8th.

 

5th Lord in 8th is good for research purposes. 5th is the house of

learning and intelligence. 8th house is the house of secrets and

mysteries. 5th house is the 10th house of activities from 8th.

Research is an activity or learning about the secrets and mysteries

(Knowing the things, which are hidden from the ordinary view or

perception); the nature of planet so located in the 8th determines

the subject of research.

 

2. Why should Rahu's placement in 8th show unnatural death?

 

As per Jatak Parijata, Rahu is known as " AHI " and " RAJJU'. " Ahi "

means snake or serpent. " Rajju " means a " rope " and in addition to

that, it means " hanging " in Sanskrit. Rahu represents poison. 8th

house stands for mode of death. The nature of a snake is that it

hangs from trees in natural habitat. There are some other hidden

meanings intended by the sages as these words represent number of

other meanings (When you consider the spiritual side of Rahu). A

person intends to commit suicide, in desperation, more commonly opts

either of these ways i.e. hanging himself by a rope or herself or

consuming poison. Parashara instructs us to see the 8th for mode of

death. The influence of benefic planets indicates peaceful/natural

death and the reverse happens in case of malefic influence over that

house.

 

 

3. You have spoken about the connectivity of the dasha between

Mars and Rahu. Is that particular to them or for other dashas also?

 

It applies to all dashas in general. The opening balance of dasha

determines the entire course of action to be taken place in a chart

as promised by the planets. The opening dasha itself say whether

your chart cast is correctly or not in certain cases. All dashas are

invariably interconnected. One should take into consideration the

past dasha and the present one for venturing into the future. It is

worth noting to see the order of dashas owned by the planets starting

from Ketu, a natural malefic, Venus, and a natural benefic, Sun,

again, a natural malefic, Moon, a conditional benefic, Mars, again a

natural malefic, Rahu, immediately again a natural malefic, followed

by the Jupiter, a natural benefic, Saturn a natural malefic and

finally the Mercury, a conditional benefic. There should be an

intended meaning behind this order by the sage, as that of allotment

of years to them. It is because of the 25 years, at a stretch, ruled

by the two natural malefic and if both the planets are not fortified

favourably, it would be a toughest period, since the period comprises

approximately 1/3 of a person's longevity.

 

We are aware, the good or bad, favourable dasha or unfavorable dasha,

are all relative terms. A person may not consider a

particular " experience of human life " is favourable for him. But the

same could be treated as favourable by another person. It all

depends, from person to person, as to who the native is; ultimately

it depends where exactly he is standing, in the stages of evolution

or in the path of " Realization " .

PS: Do not treat anything which I said in my posts as gospels of

truth. Always use your commonsense with the instructions of the

sages.

 

 

Dear Ravindramani,

 

I have some questions. You may respond whenever you find time at

your convenience. The questions are based on the recent discussions

took place in the group.

 

1. Could you point out any signification which is favourite or good

involving 5th and 8th? That is to say, 5th lord in 8th.

 

2. Why should Rahu's placement in 8th show unnatural death?

 

3. You have spoken about the connectivity of the dahsa between Mars

and Rahu. Is that particular to them or for other dashas also?

 

Thanks, Regards,
