The navamsa chart helps us to study about the marraiage aspect. In my humble opinion, the navamsa has no relevance to other aspects of life.
However, it has been a practice with vedic astrologers to insert the navamsa chart also along with the Rasi chart.
Maybe, I am wrong! If somebody throws more light, I will be thankful.
I share your sentiment on this debilitating practice. When the mahacharyas devised the vargas, they were exploded micro representations of a dedicated topic. The navamsa for instance, is an extruded view of the 'marriage issue' and should therefore be used for the exclusive study of that issue and nothing else. In fact, they were very clear on this.
Instead, modern practitioners claim that the navamsa is 'more powerful' than the rasi and must be used 'instead' of the rasi. Nothing is further than the truth, and this makes a mockery of the careful protocols the established rishis have established. One glaring example is the use of aspects by some astrologers in the navamsa. The aspects are astronomical weights applied in astrology and they are celestial, meaning particularly relevant in the rasi. Whereas the vargas are finer sub-divisions of any given rasi of 30 degrees, and the extruded planetary positions in the vargas cannot bear relevance to that which is only applicable between two different points of arc on the geocentric zodiac. Also, when astrologers measure strengths based on swakshetra or uccha positions in the vargas. nowhere has it been laid out that certain divisions of a certain sign for a certain varga makes it swakshetra, or uccha, etc. These are positions of strength which are delegated to positions on the celestial rasi, and not the micro vargas.
There are only two things that I have found to be consistent with the use of the vargas: 1. the vargottama significance, and 2. surprisingly, the 'karaka' instead of 'functional' use of that vargottama graha in the interpretation of effects relevant for that varga, and the most dominant or obvious trend for that varga.
I welcome everyone's sharing on this. Let us hear your unique experiments and observations.
May Your Stars Shine Bright Always
Nechiji and Agnihotriji,
The point I am trying to make, rather try to understand is:= that you had mentioned in the enclosed quote that Navamsha should be exclusively used for marriage purposes only.
Then later you backtracked from your mentioned quote agrreing /stating that from Navamsha other areas may be studied to allowed me to arrive to the conclusion that there is some confusion in your minds OR you were not sure OR you are not well versed with the Science.
Do have the humility to accept the matter, as you must understand that making strong quotes misleading for the readers and learners of this vaued forum can lead to incorrect understanding.
If you go through this thread from the start to now you will surely understand what I mean.
Surely you would not like the readers of this forum to be mislead?
Sincerely,
RishiRahul
