Parasara's Teachings on Chara Karakas an Independent Interpretation Parasara's Teachings on Chara Karakas An Independent Interpretation P.V.R. Narasimha Rao (http://www.VedicAstrologer.org) Original version: 2008 October 23 Current version: 2008 October 24 Warning: All copyrights are reserved with author. This article cannot be reproduced in any form in part or in full without express permission from the author. A word from the author: This is an independent interpretation of Parasara's teachings on chara karakas. I have no pretensions that I got it correct. But this is based on an honest attempt to purge all preconceived notions from the mind and approach Parasara's verses with a fresh and unbiased mind. I am trying to share whatever I was able to understand by reading Parasara's exposition on chara karakas with an open mind and then experimenting. If you think my interpretation has some worth in it, please use it, experiment, benefit and spread the knowledge. If not, just leave it. The first two verses of the chapter on karakas in "Brihat Parasara Hora Shastram" go as: Awah< s<àvúyaim ¢hanaTmaidkarkan!, sÝrVyaidzNyNtan! raþNtan! vaòs<Oykan!. 1. A<zE> smaE ¢haE ÖaE cet! raþNtan! icNtyet! tda, sÝEv karkanev< keicdòaE àc]te. 2. athähaà sampravakñyämi grahänätmädikärakän | saptaravyädiçanyantän rähvantän väñöasaìkhyakän || 1|| aàçaiù samau grahau dvau cet rähvantän cintayet tadä | saptaiva kärakänevaà kecidañöau pracakñate || 2|| This can be translated literally as: "Now I am speaking about seven planets from Sun to Saturn or eight planets upto Rahu, acting as the significators of self etc. If two planets are equal by degrees, then planets upto Rahu should be thought of. Thus, only seven significators [in some] and eight in some are considered." This is clearly saying that seven karakas are used in some charts and eight karakas in some charts. This is also giving the criterion to choose 7 vs 8. In charts containing two planets in the same degree, we include Rahu and consider 8 portfolios. Otherwise (i.e. if all planets are in different degrees), we exclude Rahu and consider 7 portfolios only. Jaimini also said "saptaanaam aShTaanaam vaa" and indicated using "seven or eight" significators. According to one interpretation of these verses, Parasara acknowledged two different schools of thought, one of them suggesting 7 karakas and the other suggesting 8 karakas, and both are correct. Chara karakas should have a clear role in charts and to say that planet X acting as a specific karaka and planet Y also acting as the same karaka can be justified at the same time is illogical. It means we do not understand how karakas are to be used. If our understanding of how karakas should be used is incomplete, it is no wonder we can justify any planet as any karaka. There must be clear (even if complex) rules to decide which planet is the karaka for what. A maharshi like Parasara will not say "there are different views. Do as you please. You are on your own. Make an arbitrary choice". A maharshi like Parasara gets knowledge by direct experience and not limited by the confusions of others. The line of thought that Parasara merely mentioned two contradictory views can be palatable to those who imagine a rishi as merely a great intellectual. A rishi is much much more than that. To me, this line of thought is simply absurd. Pt Sanjay Rath has a different take. According to him, 8 karakas are used in the charts of humans and other beings, while 7 karakas are used in mundane charts. There are two problems with this line of thinking: (1) Parasara never talked about mundane charts vs charts of beings. (2) Parasara was clear that Rahu is included only when two planets are in the same degree and 7 karakas are used otherwise. In the case of human beings, Pt Rath always uses 8 karakas, irrespective of whether two planets are in the same degree or not. This is inconsistent with Parasara’s teaching. Thus, I reject the line taken by Pt Sanjay Rath and I also reject the view that Parasara acknowledged two different schools and that both schools are correct. There is only one correct way to find karakas and Parasara taught it. * * * The verses of Parasara on the calculation of chara karakas go as: Awah< s<àvúyaim ¢hanaTmaidkarkan!, sÝrVyaidzNyNtan! raþNtan! vaòs<Oykan!. 1. A<zE> smaE ¢haE ÖaE cet! raþNtan! icNtyet! tda, sÝEv karkanev< keicdòaE àc]te. 2.

Thus, only seven significators [in some] and eight in some are considered. Self is the planet among Sun and other planets with the highest degrees. If degrees are same, by minutes. If that too is the same, by seconds. Learned men should not take self from only degrees [and use upto seconds]. One with higher degrees becomes higher karaka, one with less degrees becomes lower karaka and one in the middle becomes middle karaka. By arranging in the decreasing and decreasing order of degrees, chara karakas are to be found. [Like that we distribute the seven/eight portfolios to seven/eight planets.] Due to reverse motion, degrees of Rahu are subtracted from 30. O brahmin, significator of self is to be said to be important among them. O great brahmin, he should be understood to be the supreme one of the horoscope, just as king is the famous of all people on earth and controls all matters and causes bondage and liberation. Just as princes, ministers etc take care of worldy matters of the country under the king's command, like that also all other significators become givers of results due to the favorability of the significator of self. O brahmin, just as all ministers etc become incapable of doing the jobs of people of the country if king is not conducive, other significators cannot do good when the significator of self is cruel. Just as ministers etc cannot do harm under a favorable king, other unfavorable significators cannot do harm if the significator of self is favorable. One with lower degrees than the significator of self (AK) signifies counsel (AmK). One with lower degrees than him signifies brother (BK). One with lower degrees than him signifies mother (MK). One with lower degrees than him signifies father (PiK). One with lower degrees than him signifies children (PK). One with lower degrees than him signifies rivals (GK). O excellent brahmin, one with lower degrees than him should definitely be known as the significator or spouse (DK). These are the chara karakas mentioned by the Creator before. In the other case [i.e. charts where only seven portfolios are to be considered instead of eight], the significator of mother is said to be the significaror of child also. If two planets are equal in degrees in one's birth chart, O excellent brahmin, the absence of higher significator only is to be learnt. The auspicious and inauspicious results of that [portfolio] should be learnt from the fixed significator." * * * The above is a literal translation. Parsing it and understanding it will require purging of some preconceived notions. First, this has nothing to do with mundane charts vs charts of humans/other beings. Let us stick to the charts of human beings. Both 7 and 8 portfolio schemes are applicable in human being charts.

  • Drekkanna - the D/3 Chart = Dreshkhamsa
    DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA Drekkana the D-3 chart = dreshkhamsha = a graphic representation of the placement of each radix graha into one of the 36 Drekkana BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8. Dreshkamsha: "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha. These are totally 36, counted from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Dreshkhamsha and are,respectively, lorded by 1. Narada, 2. Agasthya 3. Durvasha." The meaning of the word DRESH – KANA DRESH mens seeing or visualizing objects which are apparent or hidden (obscure) in nature. KANA means corner or trine (Trikona). Therefore, Dreshkana represents the varga (division) where the signs, trine to each other, convey apparent as well as hidden personality and nature (swaroopa) of the native. Quotes From: David Frawley. the Astrology of the Seers, p. 186: "In this harmonic the first 1/3 or ten degrees 00° 00'-10° 00' of any sign ruled by itself. The middle 1/3,10° 00'-20° 00', is ruled by the subsequent sign of the same element. The last 1/3, 20° 00'-30° 00', is ruled by the final sign of the same element. For example, the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the harmonic third of Sagittarius, the second 1/3 in the harmonic third of Aries, and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third of Leo. Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at 15° 20' Sagittarius, it would be in the harmonic third of Aries.

  • Re-Defining Tajaka Varshaphal Charts (Annual Solar Return Charts)
    Om Gam Ganapataye Namah Om Rishibhyo Namah Om Sree Gurubhyo Namah Re-defining Tajaka Varshaphal Charts (Annual Solar Return Charts) P.V.R. Narasimha Rao June 15, 2014 (version 1) Warning : All copyrights are reserved with author. This article cannot be reproduced in any form in part or in full, without express permission from the author. Introduction Annual solar return charts based on Sun's return every year to his exact natal position are popular in Vedic and western astrology. Divisional charts of Tajaka varshaphal never worked with any consistency for this author with Lahiri ayanamsa. The discovery of Pushya-paksha ayanamsa and refinement of the definitions of some divisional charts based on an independent interpretation of Parasara and resulting experimentation, made divisional charts work reasonably well with Tithi Pravesha charts, but not with Tajaka varshaphal charts. When this author broke from tradition, went back to a teaching of Maharshi Parasara in “Vishnu Purana” on solar years and re-defined Tajaka varshaphal chart, divisional charts of Tajaka varshaphal started showing more consistent patterns. The new definition will be shared in this article with examples. Acknowledgment The basic idea of this research was inspired by a writing of Sri K.N. Rao, albeit in a different context. In his article “Jaimini Chara Dasa – My approach – 2” in “Journal of Astrology” (please see the internet link http://www.journalofastrology.com/article.php?article_id=317 ), he wrote in 2010 November that a particular pratyantardasa ended on Aug 17 th as per his calculations and on Aug 18 th as per “Jagannatha Hora” software.

  • Cancer: Foundation and Cradle of Life
    CANCER: FOUNDATION AND CRADLE OF LIFE Both physicist and metaphysician agree that the beginning of our manifested universe came from One Source and that all subsequent forms of life are composed of this primordial matter. Where the two camps differ is that the metaphysician and student of The Ancient Wisdom would go on to state that the matter of the universe is alive and intelligent. We would say that this Life and this Great Intelligence can be experienced by those men and women sensitive enough to recognize Its Presence. We would also say that this Life inhabits all matter thus transcending it, and that we are also that Life, incarnating in human form. —A.O. The word “foundation” accurately describes the function of Cancer in the zodiac of the signs. Exoterically and in practical terms, this sense of anchoring externalizes through the commonly known definition of Cancer as the sign of the home, ruled by the Moon symbolizing one’s mother. This is quite true but if we add the soul- centered meanings of this sign and planet combination, we come to a much deeper and broader definition of the purpose of the Crab and its planetary ruler in our lives. In soul-centered astrology, we understand Cancer, foundation and the home to indicate the primary urge to integrate the personality so that it might reflect the intent of the soul, also symbolized by the Moon. The personality is composed of three units: the physical body, the desire nature (the astral body as it is also called), and the lower mind or reason.

  • Two Vedic Astrology Articles
    www.BhaktivedantaCollege.org Two Vedic Astrology Articles Copyright © 1999 by Shiv Kumar Chada 1. Hora, The Least Understood Divisional Chart 2. Nadi Jyotish 1. Hora, the Least Understood Divisional Chart By Shiv Kumar Chadha Hora is the divisional chart in Vedic Astrology, used for assessing the financial standing of the subject. The first half of odd signs and second half of the even signs, have the Hora of the Sun, whereas the second half of odd signs and first half of even signs have the Hora of the Moon. Currently Hora chart being made by the astrologers or computer programs, displays planets in Cancer and Leo signs only, leaving other signs blank. This is not correct way of making this chart and therefore does not help in interpreting it properly. Parashar in chapter 6 verse 6, has clearly stated that Horas are 24 in number with the 12 signs Aries to Pisces making two rounds to occupy these 24 Horas. To explain it, divide each sign in two parts and place Hora signs in Romans underlined as I, II, III, make them look distinguished in the diagram attached.

  • Drekkana Varga by Ernst Wilhelm
    Drekkana Varga By Ernst Wilhelm www.astrology-videos.com “Happiness, etc. with relations should be known from Drekkana.” -Sanketi Nidhi “A planet in its own decanate confers virtues".” -Saravali Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that the Drekkana indicates happiness with siblings, though Sanketi Nidhi expands upon this idea to include happiness with all relations. An important point, the Drekkana indicates the happiness that the native has with siblings/relations, not the life of the siblings. The life of the siblings is indicated by the relevant Bhava cusp that represents the sibling (3rd for younger, 11th for elder) and that Bhava cusp needs to be read in all Vargas – that is how the life of the siblings is to be read. What the Drekkana itself represents is the capacity that we have to work with all our relations towards mutually fulfilling goals and thus it indicates our happiness with our relations. Afflicted Bhavas and afflicted lords indicate those people in our live with whom we work less effectively; while strong Bhavas and lords in good Lajjitaadi Avasthas indicate those people with whom we work very effectively. Individuals with a good Drekkana are socially able, while those with troubled Drekkanas are socially unable. Remember that the 3rd Bhava, for which the Drekkana is the important Varga, represents an individual’s social ability. The social ability represented by the Drekkana and by the 3rd Bhava is initially developed through the association with siblings, and so ability with siblings is an important aspect of the Drekkana, but the Drekkana is not limited to our social ability with just siblings, it reflects our social ability with everyone that we come across.

  • (Zodiac) Signs Cancer (Ram) the Crab: June 22 to July 23
    Twelve Western Astrology (Zodiac) Signs Cancer (Ram) the Crab: June 22 to July 23 Ruler: Moon Element: Water Quality: Cardinal Cancer is the Fourth Sign of the Occidental Zodiac. Positive Traits: Caring, Caution, Imagination, Insight, Affection, Tenacity Short Comings: Hypersensitivity, Possessiveness, Moodiness, Irritability, Avarice, Despondency Cancer people love their freedom and achieve this quest with courage and a pioneering way of life. Cancer has so much energy that it obliges them to learn and practice the Microcosmic Orbit so that they may continue in a healthy way. Because Cancer people are so given to extremes in the emotional department they simply are required to do the Six Healing Sounds. These precious movements, sounds and meditations are just what the doctor ordered to aid Cancer people to let go of what needs to be let go of. These meditations should come naturally to Cancer because of their ease of going deep inside to contemplate. The Universal Healing Taos active meditations will be a natural outgrowth of contemplation. The Cancer personality is full of compassion when its lineup of virtues is shining. Cancer people are family people and indeed family life is perhaps highest on their list of priorities. They are at their most comfortable snug in the family and friendship circles. They are great learners and when they’ve decided on a course of acquiring new knowledge they are successful. Cancer people are clever and have good instincts; they are imaginative and capable but know when to ask for aid. They are adventurers however their exploits are well thought out in advance so that risks are minimized whether the adventure is an overnight mountain trek or a financial undertaking.

  • The Rising Sign Or Ascendant Sign Positions of Planets
    Trang 1 astrologyreadings.online By Tanya THE RISING SIGN OR ASCENDANT The sign that is on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth is called the Rising Sign or the Ascendant. The Ascendant marks the difference in temperament, disposition, physical appearance and personality of individuals. It is the lens through which everything else in the chart is focused or looked through, thus coloring the way we look at everything. People see us through our rising sign and we see the world through our rising sign. YOUR ASCENDANT IS: CANCER rising People with Cancer rising tend to be less vital than average, sympathetic, compassionate, passive, nurturing, receptive, protective, retentive, changeable, psychic, sentimental, tenacious, timid, quiet, sensitive, acquisitive (pack-rat), and moody. Just like the crab Cancer represents, you may have the habit of looking ahead and behind you at the same time, not fully wanting to face the future head-on and always worrying about the past and what might be sneaking up on you from behind, causing you great worry. You go through life in a curious sideways motion, never going simply directly forward. You are sensitive and you retreat into your shell when you feel threatened. Your feelings can be easily hurt, even when no slight was meant and you can take things much too personally. You enjoy travel, but you absolutely need to know that you have a home base waiting for you to come back to. Security is everything for you in life. Physical security comes with a comfortable base of operations and emotional security comes from all your possessions and attachments that have sentimental value to you.
