#2 The old king in new cloth (Ishta Devata) ?

[Guest guest]

|Jai Durga Maa|

 

Dear Jay,

 

I was a little surprised by how generic this method is. Equally generic are are

readings here. If we are to go by this method, then consider the possibility

that time stands still on particular days, and the dynamism of the Stars are

frozen.

 

If we are in agreement to the above, then the calculation of the Navamsa and the

planets reflected therein would be identical to all.

 

Consider December 29, 2003 in Wayne, NJ, USA.

 

CHART I

Time: 12AM

 

1) A chart with birth time at 12AM has the AtmaKaraka as Moon

Moon is in Gemini Navamsa.

 

2) 12th from Moon is Ketu / Venus in Taurus, in the Navamsa.

 

3) As per the principles I have understood, the Ishta would be symbollic of the

combination listed in (2).

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHART II

 

1) A chart with birth time at 12PM has the AtMakaKaraka as Jupiter.

Jupiter is in Scorpio Navamsa.

 

2) 12th from Jupiter has Libra, with no planet in it in the Navamsa.

 

3) As per the principles I have understood, the Ishta would be symbollic of the

combination listed in (2).

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Tha Jaimini Sutras are very deep and the introductory chapters even outline why

the verses are in the number of lines they are, amongst other subtleties.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The Ishta is at the level of the SOUL....... that what has been described on the

site is on the mundane level (similar to the experiences of the Lagnesh / and

perhaps the Moon.)

 

 

Just for fun (others may ignore, if not in a humorous mood)...

 

The Ishta as revealted to me is Jupiter in my Navamsa.

 

Let's see how the reading spans out for me?

(I thought more on the philosophy behind these, rather than the interpretations.

I'm sure the author may be hinting at some buried principles, bur could not

conclude anything...)

 

(I was born April 25, and Durga Ma is the one to grant me emancipation,

according to the site)

 

You like to shop a great deal and specifically look for bargains.

[Nope. Rahu in 12th makes me an impulsive spender]

 

You are a great cook and will make a great chef .

[i am not a great cook. I am still living a bachelor's life, and will probably

not make a great chef.]

 

Any dishes prepared by you will be tasty.

[sure, when I prepare them.... ]

 

You are advised to always serve food to reap good karmas.

[i am currently homeless, under the protecition of my relatives. When I get my

kitchen, you are welcome for a meal.]

 

Anyone who visits your home and are fed will bless you with prosperity.

[i hope so. More so is the hope that even those who I cannot feed will bless me.

 

I am reminded of Shri Krishna who had half a grain of rice and fed the world, on

Draupadi's request. The other half fed some Sadhus who were invited for a meal.

 

Nowhere am I compared to this, but I still hope.

 

 

You do not like to deal with work that involves much calculations.

[My work doesn't involve much calculations, and hence I cannot comment. Yes,

though, math is not the strongest of skills I have.]

 

You have a kind heart and are very helpful (sometimes too much).

[Everyone on this list has a kind heart, according to me. Sometimes too much --

yes. Can be said for all.]

 

Others may take advantage of your kindness.

[Anyone can take advantage of one's kindness. People who have Rahu as AtmaKaraka

can probably attest to this.]

 

You are a very religious person.

[No, I am not religious. I consider myself deeply spiritual.]

 

You have a great voice and may become a famous singer.

[My AtmaKaraka is Mercury, with Ketu in the 6th House of Pisces (mute sign). I

have little vaach siddhi, and don't talk much. I don't have the pitch,

intonation, frequency or other things I could consider for a good voice. Yes, I

may become a famous singer. So could you(?)]

 

Marriage may become difficult as a result of illicit affairs.

[illicit Affairs = 0. Affairs = 0. Illicit = 0. My Baadhak is in the 7th House,

and Venus afflicted. Is the latter a better reason for a bachelor getting

jittery on the prospect of marriage? I'm hinting at other principles to decipher

these, and not just the date of one's birth...]

 

 

You can receive a great deal of love...but cannot give it.

[How does one define love? I do receive a great deal of love. It is from the

angels who sit on my shoulders the Gurus who bless me with their light and

fellow mankind. I try to reciprocate this.....]

 

You are not romantic but like to be romanced.

[i am very romantic, but don't play it out. I have A7 in 8th from AL.

I am uncomfortable with dating.]

 

Best wishes,

Nitin.

Devata is a complete deferent story.
