Sun with a planet in a house

[Guest guest]

 

Dear Respected Shri Subramaniamn,

 

The rule for Asathangam is " When a planet is in its depression point the period

assigned to it is reduced by half; but when it occupies an intermediate

position, the reduction is proportionate (Sl. 7 & in Adh. Five -

Jathakaparijatha) " . The number of years given to Lagna correspond to the number

of its Navamsas that have risen above the horizon. Some say that Lagnaush is as

many years as there are rasis reconed from Mesha to Lagna. The Planets, except

when their retrograde lose, a third of Ayurdhayas when in inimical houses. When

they are eclipsed ( with another Planet in the same house) their Ayurdhaya  is

to be diminished by half. This last reduction does not apply to Venus and

Saturn.

 

Saint Maniththa or men of his school did not find a new method for Rasi-ayush,

while Lagana - ayush was in existance from the begining. Maniththa and his men

followed the later calculations, while others preferred the former. Under these

two methods, the past Navamsas and Rasis and their fractions represent the

years, months, etc., and Bhattotpala supported this method.  However, Saraavalli

recomends that if the Lord  of the rising Navamsa be strong to adopt the first

method. This will enunsiate the term Asthangam.  However it is explained in Sl.

22 in Chapter Five in " Sripatipaddhati "   as 'A Planet is said to be eclipsed

when he disappears within a perticular limit from the Sun, his light being then

over powered by that of the Sun.

The limit of several Planets are listed below:

 

The Moon when within 12 º from the Sun

Mars when within 17º from the Sun

Mercury when within 14º from the Sun ~ but when retrograde 12º from the Sun

Jupiter when within 11º from the Sun

Venus when within 10º from the Sun ~ but when retrograde 8º from the Sun

Saturn when within 15 º from the Sun

 

All Planets except Mars when in  inimical houses destroy a third of

'Ayurdayas'.  When eclipsed by the Sun they lose half their 'Ayurdayas', the

exceptions in their latter case being Venus & Saturn.

 

A Planet diminished by its exaltation, if less than six signs, is to be

subtracted from 12 signs and the result reduced to minutes should be multiplied

by its rays and divided by  the minutescontained in 12 signs. The quotient in

years, etc., thus found for the Sun and other Planets, represents, they say, the

RASMIJA AYURDAYA' due to rays.

 

When the Planet is in its own Rasi, in its own exaltation, in the house of a

very friendly Planet, or in its retrograde motion, it has its rays doubled for

Ayurdaya purposes.  When the retrograde comes to an end, the rays are deminished

by an eighth portion.  When the Planet is in the house of an enemy, the rays

become reduced by a twelfth.

 

The Ayurdaya is to be halved in the case of all Astangata Planets except Venus

and Saturn. (Ref Sloka 25, Adhyaya Five - Jathakaparijatha)

 

This is, at best, I know as answer to your question.  I do not know beyond

this.  If you know further please teach me.  Thanks.
