"There is a school of thought in Jyotish that the Fifth House is related to one's Ishta Devata, or object of devotion in religion, the chosen deity."

I don't want to use that method.

I''m asking about the alternative method which uses the 5th house in the natal chart.

Actually, the example was meant to be:

In the natal chart, the 5th house is in Aquarius with Jupiter and the Moon present.

Anyone know the rationale for using the 5th for clues to one's Ishta Devata?

Suppose someone is interested in the roles of Lord Jesus and Lord Krishna in his religious/spiritual path.

He prefers to look at the 5th house for clues about the Ishta Devata.

In the natal chart, the 5th house is in Pisces with Jupiter and the Moon present.

What's your interpretation?

I believe Levacy is deceased but he claims so in his book.

Is there a natural correspondence between transits and dashas?

In his book, Vedic Astrology Simply Put," William Levacy writes that, among other things, the ninth house signifies "God".

Is this commonly accepted among Vedic astrologers?

Does anyone know a Vedic astrologer who uses D20 chart to find the ishta devata?

Does anyone know a Vedic astrologer who identifies Christian corollaries to Hindu ishta devatas?

Thanks.

Neither Durga nor Lakshmi resonate with me.

If Rahu and Ketu aren't used to identify the atmakaraka then why should they be used to identify the ishta devata? Can I use the ruler of the house/sign that Rahu is in instead?

Anyone know of a Vedic astrologer who uses D20 instead of D9 to ...

Any thoughts?

How would you determine which path is indicated for the individual?

Does anyone here know how to read a Vimsamsa (D20) chart?

I'd like to have my Ishta Devata and associated planet identified by Vedic astrology.

My birth details are:

It'd be nice to know which chart technique was used in developing your answer.

Thanks.
