2.7 Use of Lagna
2.7.1
In
Vedic astrology, transit is normally seen with reference to Moon sign lagna.
Although Moon sign lagna holds the prime place, the classics have given
permission to study the effects of transit from other available lagnas, like
Ascendant, Sun sign, dasha lord sign or the natal planet itself etc. These
consideration may arise when the Moon sign lagna may not meet the entire
requirement or to seek an alternate opinion. For example let us consider the
case of twins or of two natives born couple of hours apart on the same day.
They may have the same Moon sign and positioning of planets in different signs.
We know from our experience that the transit results in the two cases will be
different because the ascendants may change and with this the houses and the
lordship of the planets would also change. Some of the lagnas of higher
divisional charts may also change. During a day, all the 12 ascendants will
rise on the eastern horizon in a cyclic manner, at an average interval of two
hours. Such situations would need use of alternate lagnas.
2.7.2
Always remember, the transit is a supplementary chart to be studied invariably
along with the natal chart. The transit by itself cannot
manufacture results, it only delivers what has been promised in the natal chart
at a time decided by the dasha system. The great classic, Mansagiri, gives a
telling simile pertaining to the good & bad results as a tree, whose seed
is Moon, the fruit is the ascendant, and the divisional charts are the tastes.
2.8
Other Natal References
2.8.1 We
can analyze transits with respect to lagna- the ascendant, Moon lagna, Sun
lagna and Paaka lagna (sign where
Jupiter is posited). Lagna is the hub of vitality and one’s personality in a
chart. Using the Ashtakavarga
tablets, we can decipher whether the transits of a planet in a house from lagna
is favourable or not. We can see which house a planet is transiting in, with
respect to natal lagna, and expect the planet to influence the matters of that
house. The influence exerted by a transit planet on the house occupied by it
depends on its inherent nature and its significations in the natal chart. For
example, Jupiter transiting in Taurus may give marriage to someone born in
Scorpio lagna (if marriage is otherwise also seen), because Taurus is the 7th
house from Scorpio. Saturn transiting in Aries may give relationship problems
or marital problems for someone born in Libra lagna, because Aries is the 7th
house from Libra.
2.8.2 We
can also look at the aspects cast by transiting planets. Suppose Jupiter is
transiting in Virgo and someone has lagna in Scorpio. Jupiter aspects Taurus,
the 7th house from Scorpio, when he is in Virgo. So Jupiter can give
marriage during his Virgo transit also. We can look at the aspects cast by
transiting planets on the signs containing the natal houses and the natal
planets. Suppose someone has lagna in Scorpio and Venus in Pisces in natal
chart. Then the 7th house is in Taurus and Venus, the significator
of marriage, is in Pisces. Jupiter transiting in Virgo aspects both Taurus and
Pisces and hence he may give marriage.
2.8.3
Thus we should look at the signs occupied and aspected by planets in their
transit and find out which houses and planets occupy those signs in the natal
chart. Based on that, we should guess the results given by the planets. A
planet occupying or aspecting a sign in transit influences the matters signified
by the houses and planets stationed in that sign in the natal chart. The exact
nature of the influence exerted by a planet depends on its inherent nature and
the matters it stands for in the natal chart. For example, if the 5th
lord in the natal chart is occupying the 8th house from natal lagna
in transit, some troubles related to children may be expected. If Mars is the 8th
lord in the natal chart and aspects, in transit, the signs occupied by Venus
and 7th lord in the natal chart, then some disturbances in marital
life may be expected.
2.8.4 A
malefic planet transiting in Janma Rasi
(Moon sign) may give mental worries and a malefic planet transiting in natal
lagna may affect the vitality of the native and create obstacles in his
efforts. On the other hand, Paaka lagna
explicitly stands for the physical self and a malefic planet transiting in Paaka lagna may give bodily complaints.
Similarly planets occupying or aspecting Arudha-padas
in transit may give relevant results. For example, Saturn’s transit in A10 can
be bad for career and Jupiter’s transit in A9 is good for fortune and so on.
2.8.5
Sahams are useful in transit analysis also. Sahams
are the significant points in the zodiac. For example, when the 7th
lord or Venus transits close to Vivaha-saham,
one may get married. When the 6th lord or 8th lord or
Mars or Rahu transits close to kali saham,
one may have an accident.
