Some Mundane Questions and Their Ties to Astrology

[Khoo Hock Leong]

MYTH OR FACT :

We have analysed before the D-108 which is our final state for our future birth. We took 5th house as the Ascendant.

We noticed that Meryl Streep Progressed D-108 has a Scorpio Ascendant and has Moon in the 4th and Jupiter in the 7th both 9th and 5th lords respectively garnering her success.

Now if take the Tithyamsa Chart of the Progressed D-108 and she then has a Libra Ascendant. This means second half of her life her Progressed Ascendant of D-18 Tithyamsa is hence Scorpio. This means she gets MORE SUCCESSFUL as she ages.

Have a look at my Progressed D-108 (taking 5th house as the ascendant) and we noticed my Moon in the 11th and Mars in the 12th for the Pisces Ascendant. But if we take the Tithyamsa Progressed D-108 of myself, I have Aquarius Ascendant putting Mars in the 1st instead.

This means second half of my life, my Progressed D-108 Tithyamsa Chart has a Pisces Ascendant which has Mars ruling 9th and Moon ruling 5th. Mars is placed in the 1st as mentioned and Moon is still in the 11th whether Progressed D-108 Tithyamsa Chart or the Progressed D-108 Rasi Chart.

This shows again MORE SUCCESSFUL as I aged.

ANSWER
----------

If you are born in the late or early part of the sign for the Progressed D-108, look at the second sign Ascending in the Lagna for the Progressed D-108 Tithyamsa Chart, and see who is the 5th and 9th lords and see where they are placed. If they are placed in good houses, predict your life would get more successful as life progresses.

MYTH OR FACT :

The 10th to any planet is the Bhava where the energy of the planet is at its peak (besides standing for certain specific significations). All the significations of that planet comes to the fore.

So if Mercury is placed in the 8th, 10th to Mercury is the 5th, is where Mercury power is at its peak. Same for any other planet in the 8th. The 5th would be where the planet's power is at its peak. That is why any planet placed in the 8th is not so powerless like some astrologers who would led us to believe.

Note that the concept of taking each planet as Ascendant point concept can also be applied to the Tithyamsa Chart.

----------

True

MYTH OR FACT :

Let's analyse my Tithyamsa chart for prosperity.

Mars, Mercury in the 11th a house of prosperity. So is Jupiter in the 9th, another house of prosperity.

Saturn rules 9th (1st half) and Venus rules 11th (2nd half) and both are in kendra mutually aspecting each other via the nodes conjuncting them (Saturn casts 75% 180 degree aspect if not for the nodes).

Moon is disposited by Saturn and Sun by Mercury. Saturn and Mercury has elements of prosperity as previously mentioned.

So the chart is good.

True

Another corollary for the next-to-last post.

In fact if the 10th of the planet is heavily damaged, like enemy planets or many natural malefics tenated there, the planet's power becomes effectively damaged.

Hi Khoo

In case of planets placed in 9th, their peak energy would be expressed thru 6th house. So can we say a person with 9th house planets get expression thru his work? But again 9th is 12th to 10th , hence not conducive to 10th , again the karma bhava.

How do we interpret this?

[Khoo Hock Leong]

Hi Amitns

Yes, 9th house is the kind of house which if 6th becomes very strong, shows the person does not walk the talk OR that his philosophy is more of the do, do, until one drop dead..... and that in actual fact means he has no time for airy fairy tale of philosophy.

Notice a person who is very work oriented....either he defines his philosophy of life to suit the one he is comfortable in tackling work OR he is someone who just have raw muscle power and philosophy really mean very little to him.

Basically the way we tackle our mundane affairs in our work place (3rd is general mundane affairs) very much define who we are and how we tackle life in general, if the 6th house happen to be very much stronger than the 9th house.

10th house is a bit different. It is taking the series of concerted efforts to build up our career and our authoritative position. 9th simply cannot answer that question because a career means different things to different people and there is no common ground for discussion philosophically.

MYTH OR FACT :

In the Rasi Chart, if you have Early Leo or Early Aquarius rising, you are in for a treat.

Translated to the D-1 Tithyamsa Chart, for Early Leo, Mars would be ruling the 4th, 5th, 9th and 10th.

Early Aquarius, Venus would be ruling the 4th, 5th, 9th and 10th.

If you have Early Leo or Early Aquarius rising in the D-45 Progressed Chart, then translate to the D-45 Progressed Tithyamsa Chart, the same thing would occur as stated above.

I would call these planets more than a Yogakaraka Planet. I would call it a DOUBLE YOGAKARAKA.

True

In fact late Capricorn or late Cancer would do as well.

[Khoo Hock Leong]

MYTH OR FACT :

I have written extensively about using planets as Ascendants and what the relative houses to that ascendant stand for in terms of specialised significations.

Here is another corollary which you can apply which has not been noted down.

Say there are two planets, Planet A and Planet B and they are placed n houses apart (in the case of the Tithyamsa chart concept we count Bhavas and not signs).

Then Planet A position in relation to Planet B taking Planet B stands for something and vice versa.

Combining the two interpretations, you get a combined in interpretation.

For example Jupiter is placed 2nd to Moon. 2nd to Moon rules sustenance (food).

So Moon is 12th to Jupiter. 12th to Jupiter rules access to some hidden resources.

So combining the two interpretations above you get someone who get hidden sustenance, something given to him even in the darkest of times.

You can extend the concept just mentioned to one of the Bhavas being empty in which case just take the house lord. Under the concept of the Tithyamsa Chart, IF AND NOT OTHERWISE there are 2 Bhava lords in equal proportion ie. the signs ruled by the lords cover the Bhava in roughly equal proportion, choose the Bhava Lord in accordance to the age of the native at that moment.

Hi Ann

1st of Jupiter stands for social standing and Moon stands for infant. Disregarding the rulership arm of the concept for the time being, it denotes someone who likes to have a good social standing, and would like to associate with those who have that.

Bringing rulership into the picture, 2nd to Jupiter is wealth and 2nd to Moon is motivation. Ruler of Pisces is Jupiter which again goes back to the place where Jupiter sits with the Moon. This all the more reinforce the motivational aspect you have to associate with those who are deemed reputable. That is actually wealth to you in your eyes.

MYTH OR FACT :

This was actually mentioned previously, but here I want to point it out starkly.

Venus and/or Saturn if unafflicted is one of the factors that promote long life in an individual. Their significations also tend to stay long to the individual right up to their old age.

If combusted by the sun, mortality suffers and the significations are also cut short.

ANSWER
----------

True

Saturn in Leo is affected by Sun somewhat and the fact that Sun is in the 1st which is 10th to your Saturn and that being the Lagna, overpowers Saturn. You are not someone who can really take care of yourself in the sense of temperance etc. That is why your husband has to take charge somewhat like after the management of your mundane (business) affairs.

It also means the longevity is somewhat cut short. But like in all matters of astrology, you have to look at other factors too, like the 8th house.

Here Jupiter rules the 8th, but the fact it is with the Moon, strengthens Jupiter which is the 8th lord, and hence is thus one indication of long life. Jupiter is also exalted in Aquarius.

[Khoo Hock Leong]

By the way Ann, that is why you got a limp too (from gout was it ?), from Saturn affliction by the Sun!!!!

[Sunjit86]

Khoo,

Why is Jupiter exalted in Aquarius? any classics to support this?

[Khoo Hock Leong]

I think the classic is Jataka Parijata. But you can PM to Anuradha on this.
