| Vargas or Subtle Divisions |
|
| It is easy
to appreciate that any given sign remains on the horizon
for an average of two hours, plus or minus a few minutes.
This means that all persons born during that time will
have a similar planetary disposition in their charts.
Also, a given sign rises on the horizon at approximately
the same time( with a difference of approx. 4 minutes)
on the subsequent day also. |
|
| It is possible
that the planetary disposition as well as the rising
sign may remain unaffected even if two births happen
a day apart. In case of twins too, where the rising
signs and the planetary positions are likely to be similar,
segregation of the natives appear difficult. |
|
| One of the
brilliant method of overcoming the difficulties mentioned
above is the use of Vargas or subtle division. Each
sign is divided into specific number of parts. Thus,
the lagna or rising sign falls in a specific area of
the division. |
|
| Rishi Parashra
describes sixteen divisions called as the Shodashavargas.
These Vargas not only help segregate the apparently
similar charts, they also specifically deals with the
specific area’s of the native life. Thus, the use of
Vargas is essential in order to make accurate and specific
predictions. |
|
| The Sixteen
Vargas of Parashara are as follows : |
|
- Rashi or complete
sign of 30°
- Hora or one-half
of sign (15°)
- Drekkana or
one-third of a sign (10°)
- Chaturthamsha
or one-fourth of a sign (7°30’)
- Saptamansha
or one-seventh of a sign (4°20’)
- Navamsha or
one-ninth of a sign (3°20’)
- Dashamsha or
one-tenth of a sign (3.00°)
- Dwadashamsha
or one-twelfth of a sign(2°30’)
- Shodashamsha
or one-sixteenth of a sign(1°52’30")
- Vimshamsha or
one-twentieth of a sign(1°30’)
- Chaturvimshamsha
or one-twenty-fourth of a sign(1°15’)
- Sapta-Vimsha
or one-twenty-seventh of a second(1°6’40")
- Trimshamsha
or one-thirtieth of a sign(1’00")
- Khavedamsha
or one-fortieth of a sign(0°45’)

| Graha Bala
or the strength of Planets |
|
| Planet produce
their results depending upon their strength or weakness
in a horoscope. Determination of the exact strength
of the planets demands an elaborate mathematical exercise.
|

to express the strength of the planets in Rupas and
Shashtyamshas(i.e. units or subunits) make a Rupa(a
unit). |
|
| Shadbala

|
| The Dashas
or operational periods of the planets |
|
| Application
of the dasha system is an extremely brilliant feature
of Vedic astrology. Whereas the horoscopic chart, with
its planetary positions, provides a static picture of
the native, the dasha add the dynamic aspect to it.
The promise indicated in a horoscope attains fruition
when an appropriate dasha operates. The dashas thus
helps in timing events. |
|
| There are
numerous dashas system given in Vedic Astrology. The
two widely used are : |
|
- The Vimshottari
dasha, with a cycle of 120 years; and
- The yogini dasha,
with the cycle of 36 years.
|
|
| The other
well known dashas systems are Vimshottatri, Ashtotari
and Kaal Chakra Dasha. There are few more dasha system,
followed rarely in different parts of India. |
|
| The Parashri
dashas are generally nakshatra based. That is to say,
they depend upon the birth nakshatra or the nakshatra
of the Moon in the birth chart. Of the various dashas
mentioned above, the Vimshottari is more widely used. |
|
| The Vimshottari
Dasha : The twenty seven nakshatras are divided
into three groups of nine nakshatras each. These are
owned by nine planets. Each planet is allocated specific
number of years over which it operates. |
