preferred deities and Istadevata - Karen

[Guest guest]

Dear Karen,

 

I hope you don't mind my contributions.

 

Saturn in female signs, or with the Moon indicates Kali. You have

been running Saturn antar since 5/2000. Saturn is placed in the

Mantrapada, strong in his own sign. Planets in Mantrapada give

worship of the gods that the planets represent. In the navamsa,

Saturn is the only planet aspecting the 12th from Karakamsa, showing

that Kali will lead the way to the Istadevata.

 

You will not necessarily be drawn to the worship of your correct

Istadevata. This is only the case when the planet shows up in trines

from D-1, D-5 or D-20. These positions show the natural desires of

the native towards which gods to worship. The Sun and Jupiter, who

also represents Shiva, avoids these houses in all 3 charts. So

therefore you were not naturally drawn into the worship through your

own desire.

 

However it is highly recommened to worship Shiva and Rama, for two

very important reasons. First Shiva is also shown by your

Bratrikaraka. The worship of the God represented by this planet will

bring your Guru to you. Rama is also shown by the Sun, which is

important for another reason. The 6th from your Amatyakaraka holds

Mercury, which shows Vishnu to be the God that supports you in this

life. Rama is an incarnation of Vishnu, and will assist you in this

life, as well as bring you to moksha.

 

Desire to worship the divine mother is shown by Moon being in the 5th

house from D-20 lagna. Venus also shows Jagadamba or Lakshmi, and is

strong in the 5th house of Bhakti in female Taurus.

 

kind regards,
