Part 4
The Ascendant is occupied by the Sun, the Moon
and Mercury- lords of the 9th to the 12th and aspected by
Jupiter retrograde in Rasi and exalted in Navamsa. Lord of the Ascendant,
Venus, is in the 3rd in Jupiter’s house in Moola ruled by Kethu who
resides with Saturn in the 2nd from the Ascendant and 12th
from Venus.
His
birth data is 12-11-1928 at 5 a.m. Lat. 31degree38’N and Long. 74degree52’E.
Example
(2) – Natal Chart
Balance
of Jupiter Dasa at birth: 14 years, 7 months and 13 days.
Note:
In Bhava, the Sun and the Moon are in the 2nd and Saturn in the 3rd.
Saturn
in the 3rd Bhava with Venus with Jupiter’s aspect may be considered
generally a balancing feature of the horoscope although the martian aspect
sometimes tends to tilt the balance. At the time of the question, the native
was running Mercury Dasa Venus Bhukti. Mercury is lord of the 9th
and the 12th ideally suited for foreign voyage, and is placed in the
Ascendant (movable, conjoined with the Moon, lord of the 10th, and
the Sun, lord of the 11th, and free from combustion. Lord of the
Ascendant associated with Saturn, the Yogakaraka, in Sagittarius. Lord of the
12th from Sagittarius is Mars who is the enemy of Venus and who is
approaching his depression sign Cancer, and in Rahu’s star without strength.
These roughly indicate that there are chances for foreign travel for the
native. Mercury Dasa appeared quite appropriate for the travel on the basis of
its own qualifications but there was considerable difficulty in fixing the sub
lord. Venus, as sub lord, does not lack the potential. Even though foreign
travel was not even contemplated in the least by querist, my own inquisitiveness
prompted me to probe this aspect further. Hence, as usual, the horoscope for
the time of the query was cast as given hereunder in the data, 7th
February 1968, 11.35 a.m., New Delhi.
Lagna
is movable with its lord Mars in the 12th with retrograde Mercury
aspected by retrograde Jupiter. The 12th house is tenanted by a
malefic. Lagna is also aspected by its lord Mars, Mercury, the Sun and Venus
(according to the aspects recognized in horary astrology) and by Jupiter
powerfully.
Example
(2) – Horary Chart
Similarly, the exalted
Moon is aspected by Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn. Of course not all
these aspects are applying ones. Essentially the aspect between lord of the
Ascendant Mars and that of the 7th Venus, is an applying one with an
orb of 8 ½ degrees. This is a satisfactory one. As far as the question put by
the person was concerned, a fairly satisfactory time was ahead professionally
although not very promising in the immediate future. I tried to analyse the
indications for a probable foreign visit obtaining in the natal chart, through
the horary chart and found good supporting evidence in it. On the basis of the
positive evidence, viz., 8 ½ degrees of applying aspect and others outlined
above and the indications in the birth chart, I ventured a prediction of
foreign trip to the native in about 8 ½ months from the date of query or
roughly by the latter half of November 1968. He did not agree with this
prediction as no such thing appeared to him possible in the then prevailing
circumstances. But later events duly developed and his trip actually
materialized in the middle of December 1968 when transit Jupiter exactly
transited the natal Jupiter. This occurred in the Sun’s sub-period of Mercury
Dasa and it is not possible for me to explain from birth chart alone how the
Sun was able to fill up the role excepting perhaps that he is the karaka for
profession and is located in a movable sign.
The above example of
horary chart alone clinching the issue should not make us conclude that such
solutions can always be found by working out horary charts only.
Primary
dependence on the birth horoscope should be deemed very essential and the
supporting evidence, timing etc., should be sought from horary and other
methods including sidereal solar progression. In other words, broad tendencies
of foreign travels may be advanced fairly well with the help of a three-pronged
drive, (i) birth horoscope and directional methods; (ii) horary chart to
supplement the indication in the natal chart; and (iii) transits and their
influence.
