Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 Namaste friends, Sarajit mentioned that " Chandi " (a form of Durga) is his family deity. I will now tell you a principle that sheds light on family deity. In some cases, this can be helpful in birthtime rectification. Of course, one should look at desa (country/region), kaala (age/period) and paatra (worthiness/class) of the native when applying Jyotish principles and the following may not apply to people born in non-Hindu faiths. Vimsamsa (D-20) is the chart of " upaasanaa " (worship). The 2nd house is the house of family. So the 2nd in D-20 shows worship activities of family. The strongest planetary influence on it shows the family deity. Look at the strongest occupant of 2nd or the strongest aspecter of 2nd (using rasi aspects) or 2nd lord. The list of deities associated with planets given by Sarat yesterday can be used, keeping my comments in mind. Examples: (1) In my D-20, lagna is in Ta and 2nd is Ge. Only Mercury occupies it. Mercury stands for Vishnu, who is my family deity. (2) In Sanjay's D-20, lagna is in Ta and 2nd is Ge again. Only Sun occupies it. Sun denotes Shiva. Sanjay mentioned a couple of days back that family deity is Somanatha (a form of Shiva). (3) In Sarajit's D-20, lagna is in Cp. Aq is 2nd. Rahu and Ketu occupy it. Rahu is in own house in 2nd and he decides the family deity. Rahu stands for Goddess Durga. Sarajit said his family deity is Chandi Ma, a form of Durga. May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
