The purpose of this section is to empower learners of Jyotish to broaden their thought process and polish their predictive skills. It has always been our endeavor to impart authentic Jyotish knowledge and assist in making the best astrologers who have sound knowledge and are holistic beings.
Technique 1
Cross-position of planets in Rasi and Navamsa will bring important events in life.
The above technique states that any planet’s birth chart and navamsa position is of paramount importance and can bring in important life events when the planet is transiting over one of the above rashi (rashi occupied in the birth chart or in the navamsa). The same principle is applicable in the trinal rashis of the planet, this is the natural extension of the technique. Therefore, the technique considers a planet’s birth chart and navamsa chart position (cross position) for delineating events occurring during the planet’s transit in the stated rashis.
For Instance:
If we want to analyze Jupiter’s impact, then the sign occupied by Jupiter in the birth chart and the navamsa will be under consideration and the trinal rashis.
Let’s assume that in the birth chart, Jupiter is in Aries and in the navamsa it is in Cancer. The technique states that whenever Jupiter transits through Aries then potential events can be decoded by analyzing Aries in the navamsa chart and whenever Jupiter transits through Cancer then potential events can be decoded by analyzing Cancer sign in the birth chart. The extension of the technique is to consider the trinal rashis of the signs under consideration.
The slow-moving planets tend to give more prominent life events as compared to fast moving planets.
Exception To The Rule
It should be kept in mind that if for instance, a planet is occupying Karkataka (Cancer) rashi in which there is no Mesh (Aries) navamsa. Then in such cases the technique will not be applicable, the best that can be understood in such charts is through planet’s transit in rashi occupied in the birth chart and its trinal rashis.
