Proximity of planets
4.1
The planetary proximity alter the vary nature of planets. When two planets are
located close to each other, their mutual strength either increases if they
have similar nature or decrease if they have opposing nature. The planets which
lie close to each, tend to retain their conjunction in Vargas or divisional
charts. When placed further apart, though in the same sign in a birth chart,
they tend to separate in Vargas and results of their conjunction do not
manifest fully.
4.2
Another interesting feature is the proximity of the longitude of planet with
that of the lagna (minus sign). It is observed that those planets which are
degree wise close to degree of lagna manifest their significations in much
better & favourable way than others. Similarly the yoga producing planets,
if placed in their respective house at close degree (minus sign) manifest
better results.
4.3
This gives rise to two important phenomenon as under:
1.
Combustion: A planet is said to be combust or eclipsed when it
disappears within a particular proximity from the Sun in either direction, its
light being overpowered by that of the Sun temporarily. Combustion ranges
(within degrees) for various planets are for Moon- 12; Mars 14; Mercury 14, but
12 if retrograde; Jupiter 11, but 8 if retrograde; Venus 10, but 8 if
retrograde: Saturn 16. Rahu & Ketu never get combust; rather Rahu eclipses
Sun when very close. A planet becomes powerless to give any result when
combust. Combustion is cancelled if:
i) The combust planet
comes out victorious in planetary war.
ii) It is a Yogkaraka
planet.
iii) Sun itself is
debilitated or eclipsed by Rahu.
2.
Planetary War: Two planets are said to be in planetary
war (except Sun and Moon), when they are in conjunction and within one degree
of each other. The one with lesser degree wins the war. If they have an
identical longitude to the minute, then one in higher latitude is winner. The
loser in war becomes powerless to deliver any good result.
5.
Rahu & Ketu
5.1
These two planets generally do not figure in any classical yoga. However they
are very important and their role must be appreciated, while making any
prediction. Both Rahu & Ketu are considered highly malefic. They have
bluish complexion resembling smoke. They are wild in looks, intelligent and of
windy disposition. Rahu is like Saturn & Ketu like Mars in its malevolence.
Rahu indicates irreligious pursuits, adultery, faulty logic, sinful deeds,
wickedness, royal status, liking for anything that is foreign, old age, poison,
air, space, sudden disaster and SW direction. It also shows chronic illness,
incurable diseases, insanity, phobias & snake bites. Ketu indicates injury,
surgical operations, chronic diseases, tuberculosis, viral or eruptive fevers,
epidemics, non-healing wounds, worm infestations and disease difficult for
diagnosis. It is believed that they represent that portion of Prarbdha/ destiny, which is essential to
undergo. Rahu & Ketu are shadowy planets and do not have any mass. They are
basically point of intersection of earth’s orbit around Sun and the Moon’s
orbit around earth. They are not given ownership of any sign, but Vedic
astrology has given them also lordship of Nakshtra (as to other planets) and dasha
in dasha pattern.
5.2
Rahu & Ketu are always 180 degrees apart and thus constitute an axis. They
are the cause of solar & lunar eclipses. The two luminaries, Sun &
Moon, suffer intensely by close association. Any planet in close association
with this axis tends to get damaged and cancel any yoga if formed. They are
unorthodox and non-conformist and the damage they inflict has a tinge of
unorthodoxy & suddenness. Rahu like Sun & Saturn is a separatist planet
but favours material gains. On the other hand Ketu is a planet of detachment
& renunciation and indicates secret learning, penance, philosophical
knowledge & spiritualism/Moksha especially when associated with Jupiter.
Together they represent modern technical including computer give results of
planets whom they conjoin or of their depositor. When conjoined with their
house lord, they boost up the significations of the house & its lord
manifold. If unafflicted, they are considered good in Trikone houses and cause
Rajyoga in 4th & 10th house; but are bad in 2nd
or 12th house. They behave as Yogkaraka when they occupy a Kendra
with a Trikone lord or occupy a Trikone with a Kendra lord.
