Tajika & Parashari
System
13.
The Tajika resembles the Parashari system in numerous ways. The casting of
horoscope & divisional charts, and the significations of houses, sign &
planets are the same as in Parashari system. However in Tajika there are no
eunuch or hermaphrodites planets- both such planets (Mercury & Saturn) are
included in the female group of planets. A knowledge of the basics of the
Parashari system thus becomes essential in order to understand and apply the
Tajika system. The Tajika like Parashari also has an elaborate system of
`dashas’ or operational periods essential for the timing of events. However,
the Tajika has certain special features having essentially influence of Western
elements, which make it somewhat distinct and more effective like a precision
instrument in the hand of an astrologer. These features include Tajika aspects,
strength of planets, yogas, dasdhas, Sahams etc. In Tajika unlike Parashari,
aspects between planets are limited to certain fixed range of longitudes where
their orb/ influence is effective, ant in the entire house/ sign. Tajika yogas
are also much smaller in number and simpler as compared to Parashari yogas.
These have been discussed in subsequent chapters.
Tajika
& Jaimini System
14.
Tajiki principles, unlike Parashari, are farther away from Jaimini System.
Unlike Jaimini, its Karakas for various planets/ events are natural & fixed
and do not change for each chart. Again like in Parashari, Tajika follows
aspect of planets on other planets & houses, and not by houses to houses. The number of yogas in two systems
are small but quite different from each other. There is no parallel in Jaimini
also to the “Orb of influence” between asepcting planets, or to the Sahams, or
Tri-Pataki Chart of Tajika system. These will become more clear as we progress
in subsequent chapters.
Tajika
& Western System
15.
Present day Western astrology has its genesis in Tajika system. Both systems
share many common concepts and principles, like progression of charts and
aspects of planets. These were first postulated by Tajik astrologers and then
got incorporated in Western astrology via Arabic/ Greeco astrology. The
Varshaphal system represents the best synthesis of Vedic, Arabic and Western
astrology.
Conclusion
16.
Tajika astrology is an ancient knowledge initially originated in Tajikistan.
During its journey from Tajikistan to India via Persians and Arabs, it has
undergone many transformations, but retained its basic rudimentary concepts and
principles, like aspects, yogas, Sahams and Tripataki Chakras. However the
concepts of Sahams and Tripataki chakra need further research and application,
before it could be universally adopted as a precision tool. Nevertheless
knowledge in whatever form or name, if it serves the common goal, must be
integrated into the whole. Therefore, it is immaterial where the Tajika system
had originated but today it is well integrated by Vedic astrologers as well,
despite its being western originated.
