Navamsa (D9) chart and some of its uses.

Navamsa is often regarded as spouse chart. D9 is more than simply knowing about marriage/spouse. It's the window to your soul.

D9 (navamsa) is one of the divisional charts which shows subconscious internal self or real strength of your planets, microscopic version of D1. It is the magnified essence steming out of your 9th house of dharma, higher learning and thus it's "nav" or 1/9 division (amsa) . We often check strength and position of planets in D9 along with d1(rashi chart) to arrive at the final result of a planet.

D9 is not only for spouse, marriage, children, nature and behaviour of spouse, but for life purpose, career, Luck, dharma, swot analysis, soul development,spiritual evolution, karmic debts, past life and mainly predicting life events based on vimshottari dasha. Life doesnt stop after marriage, but our life takes a different turn with new circumstances, altered behavior and challenges, why and how we see here. There are many other divisional charts that we see for different purposes which are very specific for career, kids, money and so on. But D9 has multiple uses.

1. There is much importance of D9 lagna and D9 moon as much as D1 lagna/moon to arrive at persons emotional and physical state in life.
D9 moon is the true nature of your thoughts and emotional framework.

2. D1 shows material consciousness/experiences/ inspirations and concrete reality of this lifetime while D9 shows astral consciousness/experiences/ inspirations, psycho emotional/spiritual imagery and expectations.

3. D1 shows your social material reality, what you end up doing using your skills, resources, circumstances, situations, confinements and restrictions thrown at you, D9 is the deeper truth of what you really want in this lifetime.

4. When considering effects of a planet, divisional charts are used for calculating shadbala, exaltation and debilitation. we take the houses that a planet sits in D1 as well as D9 to arrive at final mixed result.

5. When a planet is combust with Sun, its assumed very weak or almost dead but when we check D9 and if we see if Sun is atleast 2 houses away from the said planet, we consider the planet to be still alive and capable of giving some results.

6. Placement and lordship of dasha lord in D9 helps in predicting life events via vimshottari dasa system. D1, D9 and D60 charts have the highest vimsopak bal for our use (if we have accurate time).

7. Placement of D1 lagnesh, Atmakaraka, Badhakesh and trik lords in D9 tell about life purpose and challenges

8. D9 lagna, D9 lagna lord, planets in D9 lagna, placement of Saturn, Rahu, Ketu will tell about significant lessons to be learnt in this lifetime.

9. Past bad karmas in relationships and its effect on present relationships can be seen by the placement of mars, venus and Jupiter in D9 in comparison to D1.

10.D9 lagna and its lord shows your core attitude, behaviour, hidden assumptions and psychic expectations towards marriage and the challenges and the changes you face being married.

11.10th lord of D9 and planets placed in it shows your career path, checking the 10th lord of D1 in D9 can give clues regarding type of career, challenges, development issues in this regard.

12. Though some astrologers do not work as psychologers and focus only on telling external problems based on D1, the solution of your problems in usually found in D9 (the internal hurdles). Thus its best to read D1 along with D9 for effective remedies.

Lajjitaadi Avasthas

Brihat Parashara Hora Sastras Method of how planets influence planets

 The Heart of Parashara Astrology

 Each planet craves the fulfillment of its goals as signified by its inherent nature and lived out by the Bhavas

it rules. Fulfillment is the result of following natural laws of spiritual, emotional, energetic and physical living.

Only by following these natural laws is fulfillment possible. Any act that does not follow these laws results in a

wasted life, disappointment, disordered living and illness. Parashara’s Lajjitaadi Avasthas reveal these natural

laws in an astrological language while also allowing us to see how each person is living in accordance with these

laws or in detriment to them.

Astrologers often place great emphasis on the Bhavas in which planets are located, their dignities, the Yogas

they form, influence from benefics or malefics, etc. But the single most important consideration that far outweighs

any other consideration or group of considerations are the influences that a planet receives from its friends and

enemies. This, which are the majority of the principles of the Lajjitaadi Avasthas, are the heart of Parashara

Astrology. Everything else revolves around the principles and effects of the Lajjitaadi Avasthas, which is to say,

largely around the effects of the influence between friendly and inimical planets. The fact that there are inimical

and friendly planets that may affect each other lets us know that there are ways that planets can interrupt each

other and create discord in our lives, and ways in which they can increase the happiness in our lives. It is this that

the Lajjitaadi Avasthas will reveal.

Due to each planet having several friendly planets, there is almost always some supportive influence that each

planet is getting from a friend or favorable Lajjitaadi Avastha which indicates a healthy strategy towards life that

will result in fulfillment. Similarly, due to there being many unfriendly planets, there is always an element of

unhealthy strategies that will result in disappointments and pains. Thus, even in the most powerful appearing

charts where all planet’s are in good dignity and forming strong Yogas, there will be disappointments and lack of

fulfillment. As happiness is the goal of life and as only the Lajjitaadi Avasthas reveal the attitudes and behaviors

that result in happiness or unhappiness, the Lajjitaadi Avasthas become the single most important factor to analyze

in the horoscope and are the “Heart of Parashara Astrology.”

Planets in signs and houses Arudha Lagna(AL)-Pt.Sanjay Rath

 

Arudha lagna By Pt. Sanjay Rath

Arudha Lagna - The Personal image 1. Arudha lagna (AL) is the image of a person (or any body) which is the reflection of the ascendant about the lord of the ascendant. The ascendant is the physical personality & intelligence while the ascendant lord is the applied intelligence (Paka lagna). The arudha shows the way we are viewed in this world due to our overall personality and resources as well as due to its use and modifications. 2. There are arudha for each of the twelve houses and they represent the images that exist in our minds. For example, the arudha of the fourth house represents the home environment at childhood. If this is in a sign of Venus then it indicates a strong presence of mother and her family in shaping childhood. 3. The arudha lagna represents the final record of all events of ones life that form the image of the person. This implies images of other houses adding to the image of AL. Impact of darapada (A7) is crucial for relationships, finances and social success.

Planets & the arudha lagna

Moon is the significator of AL. Planets like Moon & Jupiter who have a good reputation associating with arudha lagna protect the reputation and image while planets like Saturn & Rahu with a bad name spoil the image. In general the relationship of planets with the Moon determines their ability to influence the arudha in a good or bad manner. The status of the arudha lagna lord is the status of the native. Planets exalted in the arudha lagna or the 7th from it promise reputation and success in their fields as well as consequent good fortune. Debilitated planets in arudha ruin the image. Benefic planets in the 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 & 8 houses and malefic planets in 3 & 6 houses give good results if they are strong in rasi & navamsa. Instead if the planets are weak in debility in the rasi or navamsa, the results will be contrary. On the other hand, weak benefic planets in the 3 & 6 houses from arudha lagna give rajayoga. The tenth house is good for benefic planets only and even exalted malefic planets in this house cause trouble. Any planet in the 9th house from arudha lagna gives good results and protects the image while they give good income in the 11th house and losses and expenses in the 12th.

Birth family & arudha

Further reading Co-born: Younger co-born from 3rd house & lord and elders from 11th house and lord. Children from the 9th house from Upapada Protector from the 9th house from arudha lagna¦and so on.

Transits & arudha

Transit of Saturn in the 1st, 4th, 8th & 10th houses from lagna and arudha are inauspicious. Transit of Jupiter in quadrants from arudha lagna is a blessing. Transit of Rahu in trines to arudha lagna gives rajayoga and material blessings while that of Ketu in trines is excellent for spiritual pursuits and renunciation. The Sun & Moon in trines to any arudha causes it to manifest

Change of image with time 1. The image or arudha is maya or untruth and cannot be permanent. It changes with time based on dasa. 2. Every dasa affects the arudha by (1) house placement from it and (2) argala (planetary intervention) 3. Narayana dasa, Vimsottari dasa and other such methods of progression are useful tools to decipher the changes in image. 4. Natural years of carakaraka replacement also cause major changes in the arudha. 5. Change in jobs, attainment of position and authority, marriage and various other events cause changes in the image depending on the association of their respective images with the arudha lagna. 6. Study dasa from standard texts.

Meaning & Concept of Arudha 1. Rasi/Bhava Arudha o Mirror image i.e. image of person in this world is his Arudha Lagna, Image of mother is A4, Father is A9 and so on. o How do these images intervene with his image? Argala & Virodhargala

2. Graha Arudha o Image of other people

Calculation Arudha Pada of the various houses o Riders (a)Swasthe Daraha, (b) Sutasthe Janma o Rules for dual Lordship

Graha Arudha of Various houses o Rules for dual lordship shall apply o Many like my grandfather used both Graha Arudha

Nomenclature

1. Bhava Arudha – 1st house: Arudha Lagna, Lagna Pada, Pada – AL, 2nd house: Dhana Pada; etc. till Upapada –UL,

2. Graha Arudha –Ravi pada, Chandra pada, Guru Meena pada etc.. are used in the nadi literature. What do they mean?

3. How to draw the Rasi & Graha Arudha Chakra?

• Rasi Arudha Chakra has true Graha positions. Thus it is the interaction of the images of his personal self and others close to him with the world. It shows how the world perceives you and how the world around you shall react to what you do.

• Graha Arudha Chakra has true Bhava positions. Thus it is the interaction of the images of the various people as perceived by the native on himself. It shows how you perceive the world around you and how you will react to the various environmental inputs.

Focus on Rasi arudha Chakra REsults

1. Results of planets in different houses from AL:

• Generally benefics in 1,2,4,5,7,8,10, and malefics in 3,6 & 12 indicate Rajyoga.

• Reverse shall occur when these planets are debilitated in Navamsa i.e. Vipareeta Rajyoga/neecha Yoga can occur.

• All planets, and even an Upagraha is beneficial in the ninth and shows prosperity and protection. It should be used for protecting your image.

• All planets in 11 show sources on income & in 12 show sources of expenditure.

• Malefics in 6 show corruption while benefics show honest income.

• Moon is the Karaka for AL.

• Planets in 7 & 12 show those who shall oppose you/ cheat you at home

2. Results of planets in different houses from Upapada.

• Just like the above, but the sun is Karaka and is always beneficial to UL.

• Exalted planets in UL, show spouse from a well known family; if debilitated reverse holds good; if none then the lord of UL shall show the status of spouse’s family.

Best Wishes
