Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Om Sri Rama Jai Jai Rama Namaskr, Can some one assist…. I ask this question from time-to-time yet have not yielded any clarity or response on this matter. To form a firm foundation as a sisya I need to understand why is a Graha exalted or debilitated in any one sign? We use this every day in a chart, yet do we ( I) do not fully comprehend why? Why is Surya exalted in Aries? If I read Sarvarth Chintamani the author (Bhasinji) suggests that Surya falling in the first 10 degrees of Aries is in the Nakshatra of Ashvini , owned by Ketu. Ketu is the Mokshakara , and Surya is the Atmakaraka, Hence ATMA in MOKSHA or the highest state atma can attain. This makes sense. Yet, Ketu also owns other Nakshatera I would think also favorable to the exaltation or Surya [ Leo, Sun's home, or Sagittarius, owned by Guru, and what is the goal of Guru if not the highest levels of Dharma yielding Moksha?] For Debilitation , I can see why Guru ( purity) is debilitated in Capricorn, owned by Sani – with Sani owning dirt its covering the purity of Guru forcing debility, yet why not in Aquarius where both Rahu & Sani own the signand a double dose i.e. Dirt and diabolical behavior from Rahu? So, what principles do I look to apply common sense? The Tattva of the planets? e.g. Agni, Vayu, Prthivi, Jala and Aksha, and how one may overwhelm the other i.e. Water over fire? OR perhaps Shadripu weakness comparisons? If some one can assist I would appreciate the help to form a solid base of knowledge. Thank you, Frank in San Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
