Four levels of astrological predictions

By Sri Chiraan 2008/10/09 

Man is subjected to tapatraya – Adhibhoutic, adidaivik, adhyatmic tapa. when we suffer in a natural way ,ie struggling around the surroundings etc , it is ahibhoutik tapa. that which arises due to panch bhutas. earth water ether light air . like natural deterioration of body due to old age , sickness sorrow or happiness on account of near and dear etc .

Certain sufferings do not seem manmade. earthquake ,volcano ,floods , our sufferings on account of these are termed as Adidaivik tapa. Even when we miss certain rituals assigned or undertaken by us , we undergo some mishaps ,which are just beyond our perception; these are also adidaivik.

When everything is alight in our life, we suddenly crave for more , and then a series of events unfold , forcing us to think why at all did I desire such things, now I am caught in a whirlwind of fate! . example Shantanu desiring Satyavati ,The whole act of Mahabharata is an outcome of this one desire. This is adhyatmic tapa. These occur only to teach us lessons of life. The others are result of our past karma.

How does astrology help us unfold these. when we take our horoscope we usually see only one janma kundali. But there are 16 such kundalis (16 charts) that govern one person. These are shodasa varga.16 divisions.

these are grouped into four ways.

1. shadvarga ( rasi hora,drekkana,navamsa,dwadasamsa,trimsamsa) 6 charts.
2. add saptamamsa to above you get saptavarga 7 chart scheme .
3. add dasamsa ,shodashamsa ,shastiamsa to above list you get dasavarga scheme 10 charts.
4. add rest of the charts and you get shoshavarga scheme.

• so you can predict taking any of the schemes about one person. analysing only 1 st scheme gives your future as dependent on rasi (self) hora(wealth) drekkana(brothers) navamsa(wife) dwadasamsa(parents) trimsamsa( evils, miseries, enemies). these are the material level of sufferings a man can undergo along with these characters.
• ADD saptamamsa children) you get complete physical strata of human life. Adibhoutik.
• 3rd includes dasamsa(achievements), shodasamsa(inner happiness) shastiamsa(inner conscience) apart from above. These are abstract strata of human life governed totally by Daivik forces(heavens) . we do not have any direct control over these issues. when these get afflicted we suffer unexplained miseries. Mostly these miseries are more felt in the mind than experienced.
• Sashtiamsa is especially important Rishi Parashar has assigned a weightage of 5 as against 3 for the self janma kundali. this is a very puzzling aspect. A shastiamsa chart changes every 2 minutes.an error of two minutes in birth time can give faulty shastiamsa chart. hence it is difficult to accurately give this prediction in absence of accurate birth data.
• A person born in sheetalamsa always suffers from cold  irrespective of good days bad days.
• a person born in digambaramsa has unexplained fondness for roaming nude irrespective fo his status reflected in birth chart.
• shasti amsa chart is very powerful . it acts only for a small phase on a person. it acts like a man possessed of devil where he loses his self to character of devil though momentarily.
• shodashamsa also reflects minute happiness. sometimes we read a NGO takes all slum children on flight as social service. what a good fortune of air travel on just a single day. the boys might never have such a chance all their life owing to a ordinary birth chart. but only shodash amsachart shows this extraordinary experience for a short time.
• shodashvarga includes vimsamsa (divine knowledge) chaturvimsamsa (divine powers sadhana) khavedamsa(aspects governed by chitta your sublimal thinking about life , that is taking roots as future action) etc we cannot dwell at length on this, as it is exhaustive.
• the third category as seen  above deals more at sublimal level .it is sookshma even more than the abstract layer. here seeds of future life are laid. these indicate adhyatmic tapa.

so predicting only on one chart is sure blunder. This article gives enough thought for those who think astrolgers try to divide whole humanity into just 12 zodiac signs.(  just 12 groups, particularly those who are immature fans of linda goodman; read about book of signs without knowing astrology ).

the astrological combinations are [(9!*12!*27!)C16 ]*16 *12 arudhas*12karakamsa] these far exceeds human population on earth.

Isn't astrology unique for each individual.

Let sun give us knowledge of the philosophy and moon give the solace of mind. Let mars give the auspiciousness mercury the intelligence. Jupiter confer the greatness and venus the ability to write. Let saturn help obtain the peace and ketu lead us to victory. Rahu clear all the diseases and all the planets be handy towards the comforts. Let nine planets increase the wealth nine folds and sani reveal all the many good attributes day by day. Let all the undesired vanish and desirable be obtained and let not there be any dangers. With the grace of Narayana let enemies be vanquished as this prayer by the sage vadiraja read all the time.

With this prayer i present the tenets of astrology as taught to me in accordance with the words of sages. Astrology is one of the vedanga .means a study  helpful in understanding vedas.

Astrology is the eyes of vedas hence the name Jyotish. However one learns vedas hard ,it is only with help of astrology the great mystery can be unravelled. Once unravelled  by astrology,it leads to GOD vision.

Normal eyes  can see physical obstacles of life. they can avoid mishaps while walking on the road. What about those mishaps that befall men unknowingly in form of destiny. These are unseen obstacles (adrushta). Only  astrology shows these adrushta and also dryshta as well. so this is boon to mankind given by God to tide over the ocean of birth and death namely Life.

There is a bha chakra in the world in the heavens comprising of stars and zodiac. these are comprised of 12 rasis and twenty seven stars. Also nine planets that revolve in this bha chakra Sun is the chief among these planets represents soul. Moon the mind. Mars the strength. Mercury the speech. Jupiter the knowledge. Venus the pleasures. Saturn the miseries. Rahu ignorance. Ketu liberation.

every thing in this world is governed by these planets. Praying them brings about good fortune and success.

In the next post we shall see can we change destiny?
