House Divisions in Vedic & Astrology Classics

[RishiRahul]

Dear Dada and Others,

I wanted an opinion regarding house cusps/divisions in Vedic.

Out of Porphyrys (Sripati) and Placidius house divisions which one would you favour?

Sripathi is fine, although it is mathematically more approximate. Whole sign system works well, in general, although chalit is useful in older person. It seems sometimes that as we age, chalit becomes more useful as a side-glance (secondary consideration!)

Thanks about the Sripati bit. Will help me to choose more easily.

We seem to believe a lot of things about Chalit... Together!

When two people independently arrive at similar observations and conclusions, the veracity is often weightier than parrots from a school!

Very correct and true....

But then, I wonder again that The Two have similar cornerstones (same initials).....RR. So their thinking may be similar.

Maybe everything is digitally correct, after all?!

Do you believe that when a chalit chart differs from a rasi chart, then the native should prepare for the chalit eventuality (as a secondary consideration only)?

As my usage,

SriPathi is good for analyse yogas and combinations such as kala sarpa yoga. For telling predictions it is good. It can be used with simple house system as extra tool. But not as main tool.

KP chalits charts or KP School have its own prediction system. KP astrologers can use KP system. I didn't used KP system yet.

However with experiments, simple house system can be used without any problem. In my research it was not fails yet. Some planets simply influence to near houses.

KP uses Placidian House division. When Krishnarmurthy designed-developed his "paddhati", ephemeris such as Raphael's gave tables of Placidus house system cusps (Table of Houses) and so it is understandable that that system was used by Krishnamurthy for convenience.

For Indian births, which is what Krishnamurthy mostly saw, being near equator, house systems do not make a big difference. As one moves towards North or South hemisphere, house systems begin to make huge differences and ultimately collapse at the poles!

So, if all you are seeing is India born nativities, using house systems is a bit of overkill!

So if we see horoscope of people who born out side from India such as UK, USA, Iceland, Australia, etc... do we need to use KP system instead of sripathi or simple house system?

Still i only see and research horoscope of the people in India and Sri Lanka as well as nearby countries. It means not so much international!

If you wish to know my personal opinion, then I see KP or System Approach not as replacements for mainstream jyotish, but ancilliary approaches. They coexist. Some jyotishis use one, two or all three, without any conceptual or ideological conflicts!

V.K. Choudhry's attempt at 'systematizing' jyotish with some modifications or rather more like stream-lining. Used to be popular in the 90s. Just as anything else in jyotish, there were proponents and opponents

Same old same old!!

V.K. Choudhry's "system approach"  is modification of Parashari system approach in order to suit modern tastes of some persons. As Dada pointed out, it is no longer popular.

Rishi ji,

Some points raised by Prof V K Choudhary are worth testing. His personal website is this :

http://www.yournetastrologer.com/

But this website will help you better in understanding most salient features of system approach in nutshell :

http://www.johnrfyfe.com/mooltrikona.co ... tpoint.htm

For instance, the theory of  "Most Effective Point"  is explained here :

http://www.johnrfyfe.com/mooltrikona.co ... tpoint.htm

The idea of 'most effective point' was borrowed from western astrology, esp from Ptolemy's classic 'Tetrabiblos' regarded as Bible of western astrology, in which there is a complicated theory of "The Prorogatory Places" (Book-III, sec. 12-15). V K Choudhary simplified Ptolemy's complicated theory.

Tetrabiblos is a book worth studying. It can be freely downloaded from Wilbour Hall website of Brown University :

Hi Vinay ji

Thanks very much for this good read about the system approach.

Its quite logical that a planet very near Lagna degree would be potent; and would similarly affect the positions aspected.

Lets say, Lagna is at 14 degrees Mesha, and Jupiter is there at 15 degrees; just Jupiter is potent in respect of the 5th. 7th. and 9th. houses.

Since Jupiter exalts in Karkata; karkata is also strengthened beneficially.

But why would the 5/7/9 houses from Karkata strenthen beneficially too is not understood.

The 'systems approach' topic states:="For example, if the ascendant is rising in the chart at 10 degrees, then the closer the planet is to the 10 degree point, the more impact it will have on the houses it is placed in and the houses aspected. Take Jupiter in the Aries ascendant chart and place it at 9 degrees in Cancer. Jupiter is within a 1-degree orb of the rising sign and becomes very potent not only in the fourth house where the sign Cancer is but the other houses it aspects.

Jupiter has aspects of 5, 7, and 9 and is a functional benefic planet for the Aries ascendant and is exalted in the sign of Cancer. Therefore it is very benefic in this chart as the houses Jupiter aspects are the 8th, 10th and the 12th and these houses will have a greater benefic impact from Jupiter on account of its most effective point status."



Or maybe I did not understand properly? Is this concept included in astavarga in some way?
