DVH Session Eight

9th divisional chart

Divisional charts amsha – division

• Give details and deeper insight on each house/area of life

• Derived mathematically from rashi– birth chart.

• Navamsha (9th divisional chart) is most important, relates to 9th house

• Rashi is tree, Navamsha is fruit

• Blessings from our past life that will reach fruition in this life

• Atma karaka is most important in this chart, one of the first things to look at

• In every divisional chart, see house significator, sign ruler from rashi, house in that chart

• For navamsha chart this would be Jupiter (significator), 9th lord from Rashi, and 9th

house.

• Vargottama

• Important charts for health include D-3, D-6, D-8, D-30.

• Past life – D-60, career/karma/work D-10

• Useful for rectification

• To form the Navamsha, you must start counting the divisions from the moveable sign of the same element as the sign itself.

• Fire Water

• Air Earth

How to study Navamsha chart

• Position of AK (house, sign, aspects/conjunctions) for the journey of the consciousness/soul

• From Navamsha lagna for talents/abilities

• From 7th house for partners/marriage

• Position of lagna lord from rashi

• 9th lord from rashi

• Jupiter (significator of Navamsha)

• Vargottama planets (same sign in rashi/navamsha) blesses you with skills. Karma that is waiting to sprout.

• Navakkari chakra is reversed in Namvamsha (Shreem is 1st house, Om is 7th from AK)

• TRINES If in lagna = natural ability

• If in 5th house = has to work at it

• If in 9th house = need a teacher’s guidance

.

Upadeça

1. Troubles are seen from the dusthäna from kärakäàça, especially the eighth house – more so if the lagna lord associates with ätmakäraka

2. The houses from kärakäàça show experiences we are to face in this planet that will affect us at a very deep level

3. The fourth house from Moon must also be considered while examining serious life threatening troubles � 64th naväàça

4. Consider AT LEAST (1) Räçi (2) Naväàça and (3) Drekkäëabefore declaring results

See from Navamsha lagna

• Lagna- any planet in Navamsha lagna the blessing of Vishnu will fructify. You will get the highest knowledge of that planet. Inborn abilities.

• 2nd house money

• 3rd house: the rishis will test you. You are not to hate the 12th from the 4th, heart chakra will not open if you fail (8th from 8th, minor dustana) bravery, soul level problems with God for doing the wrong things.

• 4th house – health, see lord and sign only

• 5th house is like lagna, even one benefic here will make plans succeed. Abilities that will be learned naturally over time. If the 5th lord conjoins any planet you will have devotion for that deity.

• 6th house what we covet, secretly desire. Troubles come from secret desires. From AK, to what you extent you work hard to remove sin.

• 7th house what we love, nature of spouse

• 8th what we cause hurt to, health issues

• 9th whom we protect. We will sacrifice our life for this house. Skills from guru.

• 10th – gives wealth. Planets in this house feed you.

• 11 – skills of spouse, sexuality (kama trine)

• 12 – hospitals, retreats, liberation, distant travel.

If benefic planets occupy the Kärakäàça and Lagnäàça, then they will definitely cause räjayoga.

If benefic planets are in the quadrants or trines, then they give wealth or knowledge respectively.

If both benefic and malefic planets are present then the results are mixed

tatra ravau räjakäryaparaù||14

The Sun in Sväàça makes the native a keen government/political worker and good at social service. [ta=6, ra=2, 26 ÷12 �2]

Some astrologers have interpreted tatra as the second house. However, tatra also means ‘as per the preceding stanza’ which already refers to Sväàça . Besides, I have relied on Paräçara who has expressed a similar view.

pürëenduçukrayo bhogé vidyäjévé ca||15

The full Moon and Venus is sväàça give all luxuries of life or an educationist is produced [respectively]

Paräçara: The Full Moon makes for a fortune (luxuriant) knowledgeable person and the aspect of Venus confirms this.

gajavyavahäriëaçcauräçca ketau||22

Ketu in sväàça indicates one who will earn through elephants or maybe a thief or a swindler.

Separately Paräçara gives mathematics and computing to the nodes which gives ability of jyotiña (see beyond border). Prefer Naväàça Lagna to Kärakäàça in this estimation as Lagna is the seat of fame or how one is known

12th from AK

Six Paramitas (perfections)Bodhichitta in Practice

• GENEROSITY- If you wish for enlightenment, you must give of your own body, not to mention other things such as wealth and material possessions. You should give with unceasing generosity, without any hope of repayment. This is the way of Bodhisattva practice.

• DISCIPLINE - If, lacking moral discipline (shila) you cannot achieve even your own benefit, to think of benefiting others is simply a joke. Therefore guard your moral discipline, staying free from worldly purpose. This is the way of Bodhisattva practice.

• PATIENCE - For the Bodhisattva who desires the wealth of virtue, those who harm him are like a precious treasure. Therefore, meditate on forbearance without hating anyone. This is the way of Bodhisattva practice.

• DILIGENCE - Acting only in their own self-interest, the Sravakas and Pratyeka-Buddhas exert themselves as though extinguishing fires on their own heads. How much more then should the Bodhisattva undertake to practice diligence, the source of all qualities which serve to benefit others. This is the way of Bodhisattva practice.

10/21/2014

21

• CONCENTRATION -Understand that through higher insight (lhag-thong), founded on tranquility (shi-nay), conflicting emotions are utterly destroyed. For this reason, you should practice concentration that transcends even the four formless realms. This is the way of Bodhisattva practice.

• WISDOM - In the absence of discriminating wisdom (the sixth perfection), the remaining five perfections, cannot bring one to enlightenment. Using skillful methods, and remaining free of the concepts of subject, object, and action, meditate on the perfection of wisdom. This is the way of Bodhisattva practice.

Pema Lungtok Gyatso on Tonglen

• For the daily practice, imagine that you are surrounded by all sentient beings of the six classes, who are gathered in human form, tormented by their suffering in a pitiful state. Think that your happiness and virtue is sent to them along with your breath just as before. Once again, receive their negativity and misery just like before. In your heart, the self-cherishing attitude abides in the aspect of a scorpion, and all of their suffering then strikes it. Like a feather incinerated by fire, think that the scorpion is completely removed.

• (Tonglen) also constitutes being the practice of the six paramitasbecause sending happiness and virtue amounts to generosity; receiving negativity and suffering, to patience; when doing so, guarding from self -cherishing and personal interests is discipline; taking joy in these deeds is diligence; single pointedly concentrating upon this is concentration; and precisely knowing how to engage in this practice is prajna (wisdom)

• Chenrezig practice

10/21/2014

22

aspiration

• To release the suffering of all countless sentient beings,I dedicate that merit of all the positive virtue from everything I have done so far,Without subject, object or interaction,to the attainment of enlightenment: this is the practice of the bodhisattva.
