Rashi Drishti
Well exposed without any confusion. The word used is Rashi aspect sign in front of
them and two adjacent Rashi. It have to be practised on South Indian Horoscope.
Adjacent Rashi means Rashi in 4-10 to Rashi in front. Many scholars have
misinterpreted that adjacent “Parshbhave” means the sign juxtapose and shloka
means Rashi does not aspect sign juxtapose. But this is incorrect. Why, It will be
shown in our Jaimini Article. [Here, it will make the article way too long] One can
refer to my article on Sangyan Tattwa for more information.
Movable sign aspect the sign in 8th to them and their Parshava sign which is
sign in 11th and 5th.
Fixed sign aspect the sign in 6th to them and their Parshava sign which is sign
in 3rd and 9th.
Movable sign aspect the sign in 7th to them and their Parshava sign which is
4th and 10th.
In Short. Movable sign aspect all fixed sign except the one in 2nd to him, Fixed
sign aspect all movable sign except the one in 12th to him, Dual sign aspects
all other dual signs.

Planet’s placed in the sign also aspect with Rashi Drishti.
Special with Rashi Drishti – Rashi Drishti is always full [Other’s are not – will be
seen in next sections] People are confused about aspect of planet’s like Ketu or
Upagraha like Mrityu or Aprakash Graha like Dhooma. Any thing in Rashi aspect with
Rashi drishti. This is to say if you need to check aspect of Gulika see Rashi drishti of the
Rashi where Gulika is placed and you will find aspect of Gulika.
When one will read Jaimini one will find that Jaimini gave extreme importance to
Rashi Drishti because even Arudha in a Bhava will aspect with Rashi Drishti only.
That is to say anything in Rashi will aspect with Rashi Drishti.
It is mentioned that “Brahma” [Creator] told about Rashi Drishti, Which means any
affliction arising out of Rashi Drishti shows a basic defect in creation or
manifestation. Also how to approach this subject as there can be four
differentiations here, aspect by malefic but who is a friend of a lord of the sign,
aspect by malefic who is inimical to lord of sign. the aspect of benefic inimical to
Lord of sign, aspect of benefic friendly to lord of sign. All this will be explored in-
depth in our course.
Graha Drishti
Here you will see when people superimpose their own understanding in name of
editing and proof-reading what happens.
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra clearly states that every planet
have 1/4th aspect on 3-10 Houses from itself [It uses bhava
which means house and not Rashi], 2/4th aspect on 5-9 houses
from itself. 3/4th on 4-8 houses from itself and 4/4th aspect on
7th house from itself. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars have have special
aspect as Saturn aspects 3-10 from itself by full 4/4 aspect, Mars
aspect 4-8 from itself by full 4/4 and Jupiter aspects 5-9 fro itself
by full 4/4 aspect.
What the sage have intended to say was all planets except Saturn, Jupiter and Mars
have a full aspect on 7th house and they Saturn, Jupiter and Mars have a special
aspect on these houses as their full aspect and on 7th house, their aspect is not full,
but partial.
But both authors with their claim of correcting the manuscript distorted it. But
Pandit Ganesh Dutt Pathak and Pandit Tarkachandra Shastri [They never
mentioned correcting the manuscripts gave original table of aspects which is as
follows.
Graha Drishti
Trine [5 Chaturastra [4 Saptama [7 Upachaya [3
Planet -9] -8] ] -10]
Saturn 1/4th 2/4th 3/4th Full
Jupite
r Full 1/4th 2/4th 3/4th
Mars 3/4th Full 1/4th 2/4th
Other
s 2/4th 3/4th Full 1/4th
This, as can be seen above was the real method Sage wanted to propagate which
was mutilated in name of correcting manuscripts.
One can also see that secret of Nadi Astrology lies here. Suppose two planets are in
trine Sun and Moon then Sun cast 2/4th aspect on Moon and Moon cast 2/4th
aspect on Moon – Now is it illogical to say in sense that they are in conjunction
[Half+Half=Full] Due to this reason while defining Sambandha between planets
Mantreshwara in his Phladeepika added Sambandha between Planets in Mutual
Kendra and Kona.
Secrets in usage: We know sam-bandha between planets are made by four
methods. By being in each other’s sign, By being in mutual aspect, By being
aspected by the depositor, by being in same sign [Together] But in practice, we find
mutual aspect does not make a strong connection in many cases, Why? the answer
to the same is only Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus have a full aspect on 7th to
participate in mutual aspect sam-bandha other planets cast partial aspect on 7th
house thus yoga may or may not be applicable.
What do I mean by “may and may not” will be defined here?
Suppose few variations.
Jupiter and Mars in 1-7 Jupiter aspect Mars by 2/4th aspect and Mars by 1/4th
aspect. it makes only 3/4th aspect. Unable to form Sambandha.
Jupiter and Saturn in 1-7. Jupiter aspect Saturn by 2/4th aspect and Saturn by 3/4th
aspect making 5/4 which means a Sambandha.
This way one can clearly see the differences into considerations when we follow
true spirit of Sage.
Difference between Graha and Bhava Drishti : Graha Drishti is basically for
Sambandha between two Graha, Only when it is full it have to be taken into
consideration. Bhava Drishti is sambandha between Bhava and Graha and all types
of aspect can be considered here. which differentiates them on extent of their
influence on Bhava.
Bhava Drishti
Sitaram Jha and Devchandra Jha edition exposes this in a separate chapter named
“Grah Sphut Drishti Kahtanadhyaya” which can mean that this is only true aspect of
planets. Whereas Devdutt Pathak and Tarkachandra Shatri edition exposes this in
“Bhav Shad Bal Aadi Varnan Adhyayah” which clearly distinguishes between Graha
Drishti and Bhava Drishti. Making clear that Bhava Drishti will take both full and
partial aspect into consideration to judge the relationship between Bhava and
Graha whereas Graha Drishti is only full between two Graha.
We need to calculate Drishti bala to know about Bhava Shadbala [Will be dealt in
separate article] Two methods of calculations are given, I am giving the one given
in Tarkachandra Shastri and Devdutt Pathak edition.
Calculations of Bhava Drishti: Aspecting planet is called “Drishta [A]” aspected
planet/Bhava is called “Drishya [B]”
Take their longitude “Rashi-Degree-Minute” and A-B = If more than 6 then subtract
from 10 Rashi and divide by 2.
If more than 5 then leave Rashi and double Degree and Minute
If more than 4 [But less than 5] then subtract it from 5 and remaining Degree and
Minutes will give Drishti/Aspect
If more than 3, Subtract from 4, Divide by 2 and add 30.
If more than 2, Leave Rashi and add 15 in Degrees
If more than 1, leave Rashi and half the degrees. This gives quantum of aspects.
For Saturn, Mars and Jupiter : For Saturn add 45 more in aspect on 3rd and 10th
house. For Jupiter add 30 more in aspect on 5th and 9th house. For Mars add 15
more in aspecton 4th and 8th houses.
These calculations can be tiring for beginners hence one is advised to take support
of modern day software’s. One such Software is Jagannath Hora which is free to
download. [Check settings before usage] In the software open any chart [It is easy
to use] Select the option “View” above in File Bar and then choose “Aspect Table
with Relationship” Then right click on New Window anywhere over blank space and
choose “Full Aspect Value” and then change it to be 100.
Secrets in Usage: Graha Drishti does not take into consideration degrees of planets.
In planet in aforesaid Bhava/Rashi [They are same] comes under their aspect
irrespective of their degrees. But in Bhava Drshti Degrees of Bhava [Similar to that
of Lagna] needs to be taken into consideration. This is the reason why Mantreshwar
in his Phala-Deepika have said that planets in any bhava equalling the degrees of
Lagna will give the full effect of that bhava and in other places promotionally. This
also applies with their aspect. being placed in a bhava is inclusive of aspect on other
Bhava.
