JAIMINI SCHOLAR PROGRAM

Planet of next highest degree = Putrakarakathis acts like the 5th house lord or Jupiter, indicating children or other 5th house affairs Planet of next highest degree = Gnatikarakathis acts like the 6th house lord, indicating diseases or other 6th house affairs Planet of next highest degree = Darakarakathis acts like the 7th house lord or Venus, indicating the relationship Use these karakas as additional significators of the subjects they point to. For example, besides Venus or Jupiter, and the Lord of the Seventh House, the darakaraka can beinvestigated to help understand events concerning the marriage or relationship partner.The atmakaraka can be used (like the Sun) as an indicator of the essence of the person. Therelative strength or weakness of the atmakaraka can indicate the overall strength of thehoroscope. It is considered very favorable if the atmakaraka is in a kendra (conjunct,square, or opposed to) the amatyakaraka. This is a very flexible system, compared to theParashari karakas. It is this variable karaka system that constitutes the first major difference between Jaimini astrology and Parashari astrology. Jaimini Aspects The second big difference in Jaimini astrology concerns the way aspects are determined. InParashari astrology, aspects are determined by the planets. Every planet casts an aspect onthe seventh house from it, and three planets -- Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn -- cast specialaspects. However, in Jaimini astrology, it is the signs that cast aspects. It is a fairly simplesystem: 1) each Movable sign aspects all Fixed signs except for the sign adjacent to it; 2)each Fixed sign aspects all Movable signs except for the sign adjacent to it; 3) and eachDual sign aspects all other Dual signs. In the language of Western astrology, we woulddescribe it this way: the Movable (Cardinal) and Fixed signs each cast sextile, aninconjunct, and a trine; the Dual (Mutable) signs all cast squares and oppositions. For easyreference, the following list gives the aspect cast by each sign of the zodiac: • Aries: Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius • Taurus: Cancer, Libra, Capricorn • Gemini: Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces • Cancer: Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus • Leo: Libra, Capricorn, Aries • Virgo: Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini • Libra: Aquarius, Taurus, Leo • Scorpio: Capricorn, Aries, Cancer • Sagittarius: Pisces, Gemini, Virgo • Capricorn: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio • Aquarius: Aries, Cancer, Libra • Pisces: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius The aspect of any sign carries the aspects of the planets located within that sign. All aspects between signs are mutual -- which is a major departure from Parashara. Also, you cancombine the Jaimini karakas with the Jaimini aspects to create Jaimini raja yogas is in thesame way that Parashara planets and aspects can be combined to form raja yogas. This is ahighly-innovative and flexible system that can be used as a complement to Parashariastrology or in -- some say -- completely on its own as a separate system. Jaimini Chara Dasha The third way that Jaimini astrology differs from Parashari astrology is in the dasa periodsit uses. In Parashari astrology the most-used dasa system is, of course, the vimshottari dasasystem. The vimshottari dasa system makes use of a sequence of planetary periods to definethe life path of an individual. In Jaimini astrology however, it is the chara dasa system thatis most popular. In the chara dasa, rather than planets determining the dasa sequence, it isagain signs that are the defining factor. Therefore, chara dasa is a sign-based dasa system.For example, rather than hearing of an individual being in, say, Ketu period, (as we are usedto in the vimshottari dasa system), in chara dasa we might say that the same individual isrunning Sagittarius period. If there are planets located in the any of the Dual signs, they will be activated during this period. Furthermore, we might want to rotate the lagna of the chartto Sagittarius and examine it from there. That is a good way to understand the character of the chara dasa period.The chara dasa system can be used in isolation or -- better yet -- in combination with thevimshottari dasa system to get excellent predictive results. This is the case with all theJaimini astrological techniques. They can be used on their own or in combination withParashari techniques. It is very important to remember this. Also, newcomers to astrologyvery often wish to nail down all the factors in the chart, and do not like seeminglycontradictory information. Often, they want everything to be either-or . But the that is nothow astrology works. The ancient science of jyotisha depends on patterns and probabilities. Nothing exists in isolation. If a jyotishi see is merely one factor in the chart, it is a littlesignificance. But when that factor is repeated too, three, four times -- either directly, or incombination with other factors -- then it becomes highly significant. Therefore, it is of benefit to the astrologer to look at the same chart from as many angles as possible. Look atit from the birth ascendant, look at it from the Moon ascendant, look at it from the Sunascendant -- and see it which patterns repeat themselves. You can be sure that theserepeated patterns are powerful and will show great significance in the life of the individual.That is why it is so useful to combine Parashari techniques with Jaimini techniques. Look atthe chart through the eyes of sage Parashara and see what the chart reveals to you. Thenlook at the same chart through the eyes of sage Jaimini -- does it tell the same story? Thenyou can be sure it is correct. Does it tell a somewhat different story? Then combine the two.If it tells a completely different story, look deeper -- you will find something you aremissing. This is this secret to powerful, accurate, astonishingly good astrology. Jaimini Longevity Determination Another powerful and unique feature of Jaimini astrology is its ability to determine thelifespan of an individual. When giving the reading, it is very important to keep in mind theoverall life's course apparent in the persons chart. What is the use of powerful raja yogasand other fortunate combinations, if the person never lives long enough to benefit fromthem? The ability to discern the span of life alotted to an individual is known as ayurdaya --computation of longevityThis calculation will help to determine the general span of life: short, middle, or long. Thiscalculation is never to be taken by itself, but is to be used in combination with other factors.Take these three sets: 1) Lord of Ascendant + Lord of 8 th 2) Ascendant + Moon 3) Ascendant + Hora Ascendant Apply them to the following table: Term of Lifeif signs are:or signs are:LifespanAlpayu (short)C, DS, S< 32Madhyayu (middle)C, SD, D< 64Purnayu (long)C, CD, S> 64Where C = Chara (Moveable, Cardinal) = Aries, Cancer, Libra, CapricornS = Sthira (Fixed) = Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, AquariusD = Dwiswabhava (Common, Mutable) = Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, PiscesAny result found in 2 or 3 outcomes is correct. If all three are different, differ to theAscendant + Hora. Exception: When the Moon is in the Lagna or 7 th , then use the Asc +Moon method.As time goes on, the information on this Jaimini astrology page will grow. Documents similar to Jaimini Astrolo
