ABA 7 Peter

March 15, 2001

Respected Krushna and List Members,

Here is my attempt at ABA-7

I looked at this first through SATVA.

The house I looked at were:

Mother’s death 11th ( 8th from the 4th )

Father’s death 4th ( 8th from thew 9th )

Son’s death 12th (8th form the 5th)

Transit aspects to planets:

T Ra afflicts Ma 60% Malefic T Ve afflicts Ju 33%

T Ra " Ve 20% Strong Benefic T Su aspects weak Me 90%

T Ma " weak Mo 14%

T Ma conjunct Strong Sa

The only indictor here fo the 3 possible events is the T Mam afflicting the Mo (mother) in the first however the aspect is very weak and unlikely to produce death.

For the 11th house the only aspect to the MEP was a benefic aspect from Jupiter

For the 4th house the only aspect was a very weak malefic aspect from strong malefic Mars.

For the 12th there are 3 aspects 54% malefic afflictions by Ra and Ke and a very weak affliction by Ma.

From the above I would conclude that the afflictions by Ra/Ke would be sufficient to cause daeth.

I would therefore say that on the event date the son died.

Looking at it by astakavarga:

Mother - House 11 (8th from the 4th)

Saturn is by far the biggest point scorer with 65 points and does not aspect either A,B, or C it is however the lord of E and keen to give a result. It is not the lord of a dusthana and therefore the event should take place in a Sa sub-period or in the sub-period of one of its samdharmis. As Ju is in Capricorn ruled by Sa. – Jupiter can give the event.

Father – 4th House (8th form 9th)

For this house Mars is the highest point scorer with 60 points and Sa is the next with 56 points.. Mars does not aspect either A, B, or C but it is Lord of the 6th ("A") and is disqualified.

Sa the next highest point scorer ( or one of its samdharmis)can give the result as shown for the mother. Therefore as shown above Ju as samdharmi to Sa can again give the result for this house or death of the father.

Son – 12th House (8th form 5th)

With the 12th house as key Sa is again the top point scorer with 46 points and as shown above its samdharmi can give the result.

From the above it can be seen that any of the three options can be given by the highest point criteria so we need to find additional evidence to point to which one to choose. Looking at the sarvastakavarga points it can be seen that the 4th, 11th, and 12th Houses have 23, 40, and 24 points. It seems unlikely that the 11th withy 40 points could give rise to such a tragic event. The other two houses however have below average points a could give the evewnt. Looking at the upchaya houses (D,B,C,E) the 4th scores 31,23,30,20, the 11th scores 30,40,29,23, and the 12th scores 20,24,23,24. Both the 4th and the 11th have a mixture of high and low points for the upchayas while the 12th house has low points for all four of D,B,C.and E

I would tend therefore to go for the death of the Son on the event date.

How can we justify two very different events with only a few hours difference in timing??.

Only the Moon or the Lagna can move quickly enough and as we normally only consider the natal lagna I assumed that it would be due to the movement of the Moon. In Lesson 11 we were shown how to judge the day to day effect of the transits. To be quite honest, although I even worked out my own for this year when I first saw the lesson, I have completely forgotten how to do it now. One thing I was able to see however was that the movement of the Moon from the 12th house to the 1st could only make a difference of one point and was not sufficient to cause the two very different events. The same could be said of the Moon moving from Libra to Scorpio.

However the moon also moved from Anuradha to Jyeshtha which could make a very big difference. The nature of Anuradha is soft, mild or tender while Jyeshtha is sharp or dreadful. Anuradha is very passive while Jyeshtha is very active. Anuradha is a maintenance nakshatra while Jyeshtha is a dissolution nakshatra.

So from the great difference in the two nakshatras I believe that this could be the reason for the big diffence in the two events only hours apart.
