Astrology jyotish

The vedic astrology Jyotish or or Hindoue is the astrological system used in the Veda S

Presentation

The Jyotish term is the term used in India, it can mean " simply; science of the lumière" , it seems to me to better be appropriate that another word often taken, “Hindu Astrology”, for two reasons: Hindouisme as a religion is distinct from science divinatoire stars. Then, it does not seem that “the only” Hindus was the founders. Either that they were, or are, the single practitioners. There exists also the " term; Védique" astrology; , however the astrological methods are not found in Védas (vedic Scriptures) with the direction or an astrologer practitioner includes/understands an astrological methodology. One can however include/understand this name considering symbiosis between crowned and the layman in India, which impregnated various aspects of the life. One knows also that the large astrologers of Jyotish are often the Wise ones in India, realities, or sometimes supposed, and thus regarded as of Gurus literally (it is noted that the word Guru means Jupiter), which slices with more compartmentalized Western approach.

The origin of this astrology is fuzzy and is lost in the mists of time. One often gives him in India a divine origin, revealed with the man. One of the works traditional more considered, Hora Shastra de Parasara, is a dialog between Wise Parasara and its Maitreya disciple. He asks him to teach astrological divine art to him. This last begins the account which it will generally continue in a succession of yogas, one would say aphorisms in Occident, treating various fields of life such that organizes it astrological methodology. Thus each Bhava, or astrological House, will treat precise fields of the life. The Ascending one, or Lagna, which is House 1, will treat health, impact of the person. Bhava 2 will treat material and financial assets and also of the marital status of the native, and so on.

The most insane speculations relate to the period of writing of these writings, which one claims coming from the very great antiquity, however Hora Shastra and important writings (known as traditional) usually employed, (for which exist several comments and summaries) were put on paper probably the Middle Ages. It may be however that they result from an oral long tradition, like habit in the East.

Several passages of traditional are so similar to the writings of astrology occidentalle written in Greeks, whom one is tempted to think that bringing together existed between the Greek world of the Middle-East (expressing itself in Greek) and India. However much of methods are exclusive in India. For example the topics divisionnels: Navamsa or topic divisionnel in 9 is a topic always employed with the normal native topic, at one time like nowadays. In Occident there exists only little of traces of these divisions, or they are explained as coming from the East.

Like historical reference, the problem is that the authors who wrote on the subject are not practically never generally university astrologers but coming from a intellectual tradition occidentalle. You can however consult the writings and translations of Neugebauer, Pingree, Bouché Leclerc amongst other things, and recently detailed work of Robert Schmidt in the United States (Project Hindsight). Robert Schmidt, who comes seems it of a academic world, worked with several astrologers narrowly before only continuing these translations sophisticated. Its Project Hindsight perdure in 2006/2007. The writings are in English, except Bouché Leclerc which wrote on Greek astrology and was French. The traditional ones of Jyotish are now translated for the majority into English, seldom in French.

Practical

The base of work of the astrologer includes/understands in Jyotish as in Occident the signs, planets, aspects, houses, the ascending one, the bonds between planets and houses. This base is very close to the methods of astrology occidentalle. By saying the things simply, one can say that the work of the astrologer of Jyotish consists in explaining the unfolding of different the karmas by using the language and the symbols, and one can hope for it, checked carefully by a long practice… The karma is here the additional clause cause of the " passé" of the individual having created the consequences present. Each symbol, signs, planet, house, is a karaka, that is to say a " significateur" of a field of life. It informs about the facilities or " difficulties; prévues" for the person in each field of life, by the plan of life consisted the birth chart.

Small glossary Sanskrit of Hindu astrology

With

Antardasa

(or Pratyantar)

A under-under-division of the Dasas periods, lasting of a few days to several weeks. Subdivision of Bhuktis. The authors confuse sometimes the bhuktis, with the antardasas. Bhuktis are always the under-periods, the pratyantars are always the 3rd level. The antardasas are either one or the other…

Atma

The heart. The heart has two significant among Hindus: a) the planet having the degree more raised in the signs (of 0 has 30), named Atmakaraka. b) The sun is also in general significant of the heart.

Amatya

The significant one of the position, the career in Jaimini astrology. It is the second planet in degree in the signs after Atma karaka.

Ayanamsa

The ayanamsha is an angular measurement. It is the difference in angle between the beginning of the tropical zodiac of the signs (which gives a birth chart called Sayana to the Indies), and the sidereal zodiac founded on the stars, which forms the Nirayana topic (sidereal). The ayanamsha is prone to discussion since all the astrologers do not get along to its measure. Astronomical exact measurement, or the star being used to measure it, being prone to discussion. The discussions on this subject are sometimes surging… The majority of the Hindu astrologers, who have the longest experience in sidereal astrology, use the ayanamsa of Lahiri, or that of Krishnamurti, which is close. These two measurements seem most useful from the point of view of the use of the periods Vimshottari Dasas, which is a good indicator being given the sum of experiment that they have with this system sensitive to this measurement. The most famous defenders of the measurement of Lahiri are V.K.Choudhry, and K.N. Rao, astrologers and teachers Hindu.

In Occident, the measurement of Fagan-Bradley is very popular since work of Cyril Fagan which started again the studies of sidereal astrology in the Fifties.

However, as in essential dignities of use in occident, especially with the Middle Ages, the modern authors are not very clear on the way of including/understanding and to sort the great quantity of information given by Shad balled. It seems more consistent to me not all to mix, as Robert Hand suggests it, and to learn how to distinguish between these forces.
