Aspectos éticos

By Vishveshvara

The methods of Kalidasa as outlined in his work Uttara Kalamrita is a simpler method than that of the Tajaka system of astrologers like Nilakantha. The Tajaka system was probably Arabic in origin and known as a Yavanesvara (non-Hindu) work to which Sphujidhvaja was the most famous Yavanesvara. Other Yavanesvara’s were ancient Greek philosophers and astrologers like Ptolemy and Manittha. They were all taught by the Indian Vedic astrologers. Western influences of non-Vedic character crept in when the minds of the followers of the Yavanesvara’s turned away from the East and turned toward the West and materialistic cultures.

From: Uttara Kalamrita-by Kalidasa Sutra 6.34 and 6.35 from

y Note the exact position of the Sun at the time of birth. In any year find when the Sun returns to the same degree, minute and second. That is the solar return day of the year for the native. Calculate the lagna and the positions of the planets and houses for that time of the year. Calculate the Sapta Vargas (Rasi, Hora, Drekkana, Saptamsa, Navamsa, Dvadasamsa and Trimsamsa) strength of each planet. The results show what will happen to the native during that solar year. Count from the natal star (janma nakshatra) the constellation in which the Moon is located on that day. Divide this by 9 [ exterpolate multiples of 9]. The remainder is counted from the Sun in the order given in the next verse. This gives the first dasa for the solar year.

y Note the exact position of the Moon at the time of the Sun’s return to the position at the time of birth. Find out how many more ghatikas and vighatikas are yet to elapse in that constellation. This is to be multiplied by the number of days given to the planet and divided by the total duration of the

constellation i.e. 800 minutes. This gives the balance of the first dasa in days, ghatikas and vighatikas.

Then follow the other dasas in the sequence given below.

The days in serial order are:

Su- 110, Mo- 60, Ma-32, Me- 40, Ju– 48, Ve- 56, Sa– 4, Ra– 5 and Lagna- 10 . The subsequent dasas follow this sequence only.

The benefic or malefic results of any dasa are to be interpreted with reference to the strength of the planet concerned, the strength of the lagna for the year, the strength of the Bhava having the planet, and the various aspects on the various planets and houses.

Example : The Rasi and Tajaka annual charts for 2009-1-27 follows:

Example Charts : 2009-1-27

Only the narayana (sidereal) position of the Sun at birth is used.

Calculating the Sapta Varga’s is a time-consuming process but has excellent results as scholars have found using Kalidasa’s method of Solar Return. Using the strength of the planets in the 7 divisions and the predictions that follow for the given year will yield the predictive results. There appears to be no computer programs available which can do these calculations.

Besides the Table of Mutual Relationships given, kthere are Temporary Relationships for each planet from the natal place it is situated.

A review of how to find the Mutual Relationships is helpful before the Temporal Relationships can be found. First note the mulatrikona of a planet. Counting from there the planets in the sequence

{2, 12, 5, 9, 4, 8} signs from that sign are friends of that planet (use the lord of sign as the planet). But such a sign must own two planets i.e within the above sequence. If not, that lord of the sign in the sequence becomes its neutral. The exceptions are Ravi and Chandra as they own only one sign. Thus they can never be a neutral. The planets that are not in the sequence from the natal planet in question are that planets enemy, with the exception that if they are mulatrikona or exalted they become neutral.

How to find Temporal Relationships: There are temporary friendships for each planet from the place it is situated. Planets in the sequence {2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12} from a planets transit (tajaka) natal position Kalidasa’s Theorem :

(i) Distance of natal Moon in Rohini to tajaka Moon in Dhanishtha = 20

(ii) 20/9= 2 2/9; R=2 ; Moon is selected from sequence and has 60 full dasa days.

Balance of Moon Days; Dasa Sequence

(i) 800 Minutes span a constellation ; 13:20 degrees per constellation (ii) Moon in Makara 28:56 , Nakshatra: Dhanishtha 23Cap20-6Aqu39

(iii) Balance of Nakshatra in degrees: 28:56-23:20= 5:36-degrees; 13.33- 5.60 = 7.73 (iv) Balance of Nakshatra in minutes: 800/13.33= x/ 7.73 ; 464.10 minutes

(v) Balance of Moon days in 1^st Dasa: [464.10/800]*60= 34.81 days

(vi) Sequence : Mo-35, Ma-32, Me-40, Ju-48, Ve-56, Sa-4, Ra-5, As-10, Su-110 days.

(vii) Dasa: Mo: 2009-1-27/2009-3-3; Ma: 2009-3-4/2009-4-4; Me: 2009-4-5/2009-5-14;

Ju: 2009-5-15/2009-7-1; Ve: 2009-7-2/2009-8-26; Sa: 2009-8-27/2009-8-30;

Ra: 2009-8-31/2009-9-4; As: 2009-9-5/2009-9-14; Su: 2009-9-15/2010-1-2

are its temporary friend; the temporary enemy is thus {1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }. Combining those in the sequence with the natural (Mutual Relationships) will give the results of the sixfold relationships tabulated below:
