It is very important to consider the house di-
vision for correct predictions. The planets
show their behaviour according to the house
they occupy. The behaviour is enhanced de-
pending upon its strength, which is deter-
mi n e d d e p e n d i n g u p o n t h e s i g n o r
Nakshatra it occupies. Hence use Lagna
chart only to know the sign in which a planet
is posited and use Chalit chart to confirm the
house position of the planet. Do not take the
aspects as per the house or Lagna chart.
Look at the degrees to determine if there is
any aspect between two planets.
Certain Yogas are formed with the help of Bhava alone and not Rashi, like Gaj Kesari Yoga etc.The case of twins born a few minutes apart enjoying different fates will be the example.
The majority of astrologers does not pay much attention to Bhava Chart and give off their predictions by seeing the Rashi Chart and the Divisional Chart.
Dear Readers,
This subject of Bhava-chalit is attracting many opinions and views. It is good. But, we need guidance from some expert, now. May be Vaughn would like to write some thing. Any way, as far as I am concerned, I summarize my views as below (May be the words used are different here but the gist is the same):
1. In any yoga or any tool for interpretation, if "HOUSE OCCUPIED" is one of the important factors or conditions, then ALSO referring to Bhava-chalit will fine-tune your prediction. The word "ALSO" means that bhava-chalit is only next to the main chart.
2. This will enable you to gauge how good or how bad a yoga / combination is likely to result into - finally. The another way of putting this statement is that it will enable you to gauge the deviation from the "default" effects of that yoga/combination.
3. BHAVA CHALIT IS ONLY A TOOL FOR FINE-TUNING THE PREDICTIONS ARRIVED AT ON THE BASIS OF RASHI AND OTHER CHARTS.
One of the readers has mentioned about Jagannadha Hora software. I have checked it up, it computes bhava-chalit as I said. I will give example of my own horoscope: 13th December, 1955 - 9.13 AM - Place - Baroda or Vadodara in Gujrat, India. You may see for yourself.
Now, I answer to Mahesh's question. I am reproducing below an extract from the book "Catechism of Astrology - Vol.I" by Dr.B.V.Raman.
"Question No.30: How do you find out who is the lord of the bhava when one bhava is represented by two rashis?
Answer: Bhava Madhya represents the central point of a bhava. The lord of the rasi where the central point falls is the lord of that Bhava."
