Assignment lesson 3

Om Krsna Guru!

 

1. Why do the five planets have lordship of two houses whereas the

luminaries have ownership of one house only?

 

The Bha-chakra is divided in two. Moon is the ruler of the uttarayana

(northern) part of the zodiac, Sun is the ruler of the Dakshinayana

(southern part). These are respectively the northern and southern path of

the Sun throughout the year. As such, Moon is the ruler of Cancer and Sun is

the ruler of Leo, being the closest to earht, while the outer planets

receive the rulership of two rasis according to the distance from the Sun.

 

2. Determine the ayana of the planets in the horoscope of a native born on 7

th August 1963 at 9:15 PM IST at 21N28, 84E01 (Sambalpur India)

 

The planets in the rasis from 0 degrees Leo till 0 degrees Aquarius will be

in Dakshinayana, the southern course of the Sun, and the planets in rasis

from 0 degrees Aquarius till 0 degrees Leo in Uttarayana. I'm not sure, is

this what is asked here?

 

3. Determine the Ayana of the Moon in your horoscope and also the days after

your birth when the Moon changed the ayana.

 

I have Moon in Pisces 26:20 degrees. The ayana is uttarayana. The Moon

changed ayana after about 10 days, going through ten nakshatras until the

rasi of Leo.

 

4. Attempt to explain the Mantra given inside the Bha Chakra.

 

The 7 planets correspond to the seven dwipas in bhu-mandala, ruled

respectively by the grahas in order of distance from the Sun, representing

the 7 islands. The inner and outer borders are the inner and outer contours

of their elliptic path seen from the earth. They are surrounded each by an

ocean of resp. salty water, milk, yoghurt, nectar, sweet water, I don't

remember exactly the order now.

 

5. Derive the order of the weekdays from the order of the seven Dwipa. Is

there any correlation between the speed of the planets and the seven Hora's?

 

The weekdays are named after the respective planets, starting with Sun,

which is closest to the earth, then Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and

Saturn. The further the distance from the earth, the slower the planets will

be moving, seen from the earth, as such, there will be a correlation between

the speed of the planets and the Hora's.

 

6. What are the Drisya and Adrisya signs? What do they imply?

 

Drisya rasis are the rasis behind the lagna cusp, from 7th house to lagna,

and adrsiya rasis are the rasis before the lagna, from 1st to 7th house.

Since the lagna moves forward, it is the rising sign, it is coming above the

horizon, and everything behind it will be seen by the observer of the sky,

whereas what lies before it, will not be seen (adrisya = not seen, drisya =

seen).

Do I have it right that planets in the drisya signs will have more effect on

the native than planets in adrisya signs or not?

 

Your servant,
