Dear Sandy,

 

Latha means backward kick (as far as I know).

 

Best wishes,

[sJC: Varahamihira] Sarvatobhadra

Chakra

 

Hare Rama Krishna

 

Dear Sanjay, Guru’s, and learned members,

 

My understanding is that latha

is reckoned from the star occupied by the respective planets, and if the natal

Lagna star or Moon star is in the latha

of a transiting planet, the significations of the transiting planet will

suffer. So in determining latha in Sarvatobhadra Chakra, are ALL star

placements counted in reverse, or are some positions calculated from a forward

movement? I’m unclear on this…

 

For example: I understand that the 12th star

from the Sun’s placement is counted in reverse,

as is the 3rd star from Mars, and 8th star from Saturn,

in order to find their respective lathas.

What about the 22nd star from the Moon, 6th star from

Jupiter, 7th star from Mercury, 9th star from Rahu, and 5th

star from Venus? Are these positions also configured by counting in reverse, or

are any of these lathas reckoned by a count in forward motion?

 

Thanks for any clarification on this.

 

(P.S. Phyllis – I’m still waiting for your delineation

format…J)

Dear Swee,

Sanjay, and Group,

Thanks

Swee…But are you positive that latha means backward kick? (I couldn’t find an English translation

anywhere, and I’ve accumulated a few references to search through L.)

I question

this because on page 12 of COVA,

line 4, with reference to latha,

Sanjay states “the 22nd star from the Moon

contend zodiacally”…and then he proceeds to state the rest of the

planets (with the exception of Sun, Mars, and Saturn) with no reference to directional count. Would this perhaps imply that all planets except the Moon are configured by reverse

count? Am I missing something obvious

here? It is very unclear to me…If

latha means backward kick, what does the reference (above)

to the Moon mean?

I am going

through COVA with the understanding

of a westerner – which is often times disadvantageous by virtue of my lack of

versatility in the language terminology, coupled with a lack of understanding

of various terminology that is not so readily reference available anywhere… So

I am citing examples that I think may need more clarification for western

readers…At least I HOPE that it what I am doing…and not just having another one

of those “Senior Moments”…J

 

~Namaste~

Om Gurave Namah

Dear Sandy

There are TWO nakshatra mandala, one is the physical level of 27 stars and

the other is the spiritual level of 28 stars. Latta is used in the

sarva-bhadra chakra where the 28 stars are used with the tithi etc.

Secondly, the latta is in reference to transits in the SBC.

The concepts related to S. Chakra such as vedha, and pida appear in

the great epic MahaBharat. This means that jyotisha is as old as MBh

(3067 BCE).
