2.6 Basic Transit
Rules
Part
1
2.6.1
The
astrology or Jyotish Shastra
basically comprises of three Skandhas,
Namely Ganita/ Siddhanta, dealing
with astronomy and mathematical astrology; Jatkam/
Hora dealing with natal predictive astrology or everything that happens to
a human being; and Samhita or mundane
astrology, which deals with collective application of astrology on natural
phenomenon etc. It is a matter of great interest to all of us that as per Narada Purana, transit of planets are
included in the Samhita Skandha,
although apparently it should have been covered in Jatak Skandha. That is why, our classics on Jatak/ Hora, have so
scantly discussed the transit.
2.6.2
The significations of each planet and house as given in natal astrology holds
good for transit also. Similarly, the functional malefic or benefic nature of
various planets for each lagna is also the same in natal or transit astrology.
Horoscopic indications like positions, aspects and/ or conjunction of planets
in modifying the results remain the same. There are different methods for
estimating strength of a planet in a chart. The most commonly used are Shadbala and Saptvargiya/ Dusvargiyabala.
In addition there are methods given in Jaimini
system and Nadi System. The strength
of a planet is usually determined in five ways as under:
i)
The position of the planet with regard to its exaltation, own, friendly,
neutral, detrimental, inimical or depression sign or house.
ii)
The benefic or malefic nature of the planet with reference to the Moon sign or
the ascendant.
iii)
The Baladhi and Deeptadhi Awastha of
the planet.
iv) A
planet is said to possess strength when it is retrograde or hemmed between
benefics and is weak if combust, eclipsed or hemmed between malefics.
v) As
per Ashtakvarga, the number of
benefic dots/ bindus (over 30) in the
house, as per Sarvastak Varga, being
transited by the planet and the number of dots (over 3) in the Bhinnastak Varga of the planet.
2.6.3
There are two types of indications in life, namely general trend and
significant events. The general trend is generated by the planetary periods
while the significant events are triggered by the transit. The significant
events can be in line with the general trend, or against the prevalent general
trend. The significant events are triggered by the interplay of the relationship
between transit planets and natal planets/MEPs. The results generated depend
upon the significations ruled by their Mooltrikone
houses, the significations ruled by their houses of placement, either natally
or in transit, and/ or the significations ruled by the natal house(s) whose
MEPs are under transit impact. This is called the triple transit triggering
influence (TTT), as it is true for the three possible combinations of transit
influence i.e. transit over natal, transit over transit, and natal over
transit. In other words:
1)
Whenever any weak natal planet/MEP is transited by functional malefic (FM)/(s),
it triggers a significant undesirable incident concerning that weak natal
planet or that weak house, whichever is the case. This is more so when the weak
natal planet or the lord/significator of the weak house is weak in transit as
well.
2)
Whenever any strong natal planet/MEP is transited by FM(s), it triggers a mild
unfavorable incident concerning that strong natal planet or that strong house,
whichever is the case.
3) Whenever
any strong natal functional benefic (FB)/ MEP is transited by FB(s), it
triggers significant happy incidents pertaining to that strong natal planet or
that strong house, whichever is the case.
4)
Whenever any weak natal FB/MEP is transited by FB(s), it triggers hopes or
non-significant happy incidents pertaining to that weak natal planet or that
weak house, whichever is the case.
5)
Whenever planets in transit form close conjunctions amongst themselves, the
happenings occur depending upon their functional nature in connection with the
houses with reference to a particular ascendant.
