When Shani retrogades, it gives the effects of his current bhava first, and then only the effects of the previous bhava. This is unlike the retrogade of other planets.

Thus for Shani moving its course normally, it wii give effects of the bhava it is moving towards first and then the bhava it ...

1. Moon represents the strength of the planets as she is Shakti for material manifestation, and also Krishna the deity most closely tied to material things; that is why he asked the villagers to dispense the worshipping of Indra which representd Jupiter, the ethereal planet, most tied to ...

Anyway look at this link :

It says that Jupiter in Aquarius from 13 degrees 20 minutes to that of 20 degrees is as good as being in its sign of exaltation. This covers the 3rd pada of stabbatashik which is vargottama and the 4th pada of stabbatashik ...

In terms of physics point of view, when a system is in a state of entropy like what a dusthana is, by a specialised application of statistical mechanics at the atomic level, the theory of diffusion is applicable. Here every atom, interacts with every other atom in the syste. That is why diffusion ...

Lagna being the 3rd from the 11th reprsents the initial effort in getting gains eg, you have a vivacious personality, you have innate intelligence, you have good looks etc.

Som extra knowledge for everyone :

Moon reprsents the strength of the nth bhava as we go round in circles, counting from the last place where we stop, always n steps.

So 11th is 6 steps from the 6th, and 6th is 6 steps from the Lagna. 6 steps from the 11th is the 4th. As we count awat, the 6th ...

I will reply to you on behalf of KH later during my off days from work.

Anyway KHL did mention that the scriptural tale about Vishnu reincarnating as the dwarf where he unseat Bali shows that Jupiter is exalted in Aquarius and based on what he said, I tend to agree with him. Sometimes people tend to get these insights through passing through the various states of waking ...

According to Brihat Jataka, Jupiter in Aquarius is synonymous to Moon in Cancer.

Which part in Brihat Jataka did it say that Jupiter in Aquarius is only good for Virgo Ascendant? Can you quote me the chapter and page number?

When we say something (a number) of something (a number), it denotes multiplication. We learn that in primary schools.

KHL has also given his explanation from the Physics point of view.

Sorry, 10th to the 5th is the 2nd. When you dress well, speak in a well-mannered way, have a good attidue all round ie. good receptivity to all opinions that you receive, you tend to be more intelligent

But what I said between the 5th and 3rd aldo holds true, as 5th is the 3rd of the 3rd ie. 5th is ...

The 10th to a bhava tells a lot about that bhava. In fact, it can be taken as synonymous with that bhava.

For example :

10th to the 1st how people view your personality from afar without getting to know you intimately through close contact. It is what we call fame or infamy.

10th to the 10th is ...

To add to all that has been said :

Generally dusthanas are places of entropy where mechanical useful work cannot be done because the system has declined into a state of randomness where the molecules collide with every other molecule in a close system.

6th is enclousure and tightness, 8th is deep ...

Okay Joyd, ji.

Point taken.

But I feel that there are exceptions to the rule (although not strong enough to completely eradicate the evil of the 11th) like planets placed in the 11th bhava itself which Ravana tries to keep locked up for his own prosperity. But eventually he still has his downfall ...

Oh yes, it is right.

The one obstacle in the 1st dusthana, places obstacles to all the components in the 2nd usthana. Because the enrrgy of that obstacle in that 1st dusthana is never used up, even after it has been successfully used to counteract the 1st obstacle in the 2nd dusthana. Thus it ...

Now we come to the anecdote.

Assuming your company is tasked by the mayor to set up a one-day make shift stall in the county countryside to sell the national dish of the country to the masses.

It so happened on that day it rained so you are unable to sell the food during the day.

The mayor ...

This thing about two negatives (dusthanas) combining to create a positive (non-dusthana) is correct and I will tell you why.

Your analogy of two losses from two businesses combining, it forms MORE losses even if the two businesses are part of a conglomerate (a form of company). In this ...
