Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Namaste, In the chart of one of my gurus, he has Moon in the 12th from Atmakaraka in the Navamsa indicating Istadevata as the Divine Mother. The Moon is Shukla Paksha denoting Durga, and is aspected only by Jupiter in the navamsa. However in the Rasi, Moon is conjunct Saturn in the 5th house, and he does do Kali puja. However Durga is the primary deity. Rahu in Aquarius aspects Moon by Rasi dristi, along with Ketu and Venus. So as I understand, Shukla paksha Moon with strongest aspect being Rahu's gives the predominating influence of Durga. Out of the 16 vargas, Rahu goes into Gemini 5 times, Aquarius, Taurus, and Virgo each one time. So Rahu is very strong. Kali's influence is secondary, although Saturn is conjunct the Moon. In his case the Navamsa lagna is the same as Karakamsa, so I assume that he is following the correct path that his soul desires in this life, and therefore has been naturally attracted to the correct Istadevata. Question 1) What about the other influences in the chart? Jupiter in navamsa, and Venus and Ketu in the rasi? Do these show the other forms of the Divine mother that he can successfuly propitiate, ie. Tara, Kamala, Chhinnamasta and Dhoomavati? Question 2) What gives the predominating influence on the Atmakaraka planet in deciding the form of the divine mother? The aspects and conjunctions in Rasi OR Navamsa? warm regards, Alex J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
