Please.... A Little light on Navamsha

[Guest guest]

Reverent Gurujis of deep intellect,

 

I am not yet able to progress far due to mental pain, but for some

 

time I have wanted to understand the Navamsha a little better.

 

 

 

Can you tell me - Are the significations of Houses the same as with

Rashi chart?

 

If they are how do we apply these significations to the life of the

native? Is it relative is it spiritual progress?

 

 

 

If we read for spouse from Navamsha, is this done differently than

reading the Navamsha chart for the native.

Regards

Dear Simon,

 

I am not a Guru, and I do not know if i have " deep intellect " , others

have to decide this, but nevertheless I will try to give you some answer.

 

There are different views on interpreting vargas. This is subject to

discussion.

 

Lot of people interpret Navamsa and other Vargas in the same way as

Rasi Chart. For example: 4th in D-4 shows home, 7th in Navamsa shows

spouse, 9th in D-12 shows father and so on.

 

I am not a friend of this kind of interpretation, because it is a new

way of thinking, not mentioned in any relevant ancient text. In my

view it is NOT correct to interpret Navamsa or any other varga in the

same way as Rasi. There are 15 (or 19 or more) vargas, and using this

method you can easily explain all matters: father then would be 9th in

D-3, D-4, D-5, D-6, D-7, D-8, D-9 and so on. I don't think this is

correct. Same way, I do not think that it is correct to consider

drishties in vargas (or even arudhas or dasas based on vargas, except

special Kalachakra dasa, which is based on moon navamsa in rasi). All

this has no historical source (at least I have not find any historical

text supporting this). It is modern thinking of modern astrologers,

and this often spoils interpretation. Also astrologers have an ego.

 

Let us stick to ancient texts: BPHS, Phaala Deepika and Saravali

" just " explain sign position of planet in varga and recur on

" auspicious " and " inauspicous " sign positions (lorded by certain

deities). This shows the strength of a planet with regard to the

matter the varga is related to.

 

For example: You may have debilitated 7th lord in rasi, but exalted in

navamsa and/or saptamsa. This gives some hidden strength to 7th lord.

Or you have strong 2nd lord in rasi, and this 2nd lord (taken from

rasi) is weak in navamsa: this leads in some extent to problems

regarding wealth, speech, food etc.

 

Vargas (planets in varga signs) are very, very, very important, not

looking at them leads to wrong conclusions. But taking vargas as rasi

is an enormeous over-interpretation of vargas. Varga is more a

symbolic chart, not a real chart like rasi chart.

 

My theory is that varga sign position of navamsa (or any other varga)

is always connected with rasi.

 

Example:

Let us assume, you have aries lagna and libra 7th house. Mars in Rasi

in Lagna and in 7th Navamsa in aries, which is libra. So, Mars would

be in Libra sign in Navamsa. Now you can put Mars - in Rasi Chart - in

the 7th house, which is Libra in Rasi (Mars in 7th in Rasi, for

explaning navamsa issues: spouse, dharma, fortune). This would give

some problems regarding to spouse or relationships.

 

It is a very complex topic, and there are other views, but in my

experience this is a good approach in interpreting vargas. In my

experience it works VERY WELL.

 

Hope I could help you a bit

 

yours sincerely

Pascal
