Bhava and Rashi Sandhi
Sandhi or the transition zone between one bhava and another and between two rashis, is a problematic field of study in jyotish. It is a nebulous area where astrologers have so far failed to throw light on the reasons behind the peculiar nature of planets in sandhi and their effects on people’s lives. Being transitional in nature, sandhis are fuzzy and grey areas and planets placed in them are extremely fragile. They not only provide troublesome lives to their natives, but continue to torment them throughout thei r lives by being unable to provide the results of their bhavas or their rashis. The asymme trical juxtapo juxta positio sition n of the rashi and and bhava chakras comp complicat licates es the situatio situation n further further whereby bhavas and rashis overlap each other and planets caught in these points, affe ct both their their rashi and bhava positions. Astrologers have tended to overlook this aspect en tirely where where planets in sandhi occupying different rashis and bhavas will not yield results of one of one or the the other. It is therefore necessary to examine this phenomenon from closer quart ers.
Bhava sandhi There are two existing methods methods of defining defining bhavas. bhavas. One O ne is the universally accepted acc epted method method of of Parasar Paddhati. The Sripati Paddhati recognises the midheaven or the tenth house as a very crucial point in a cannot be igno ignored. red. He therefo therefore re charts his path path from the lagn lagna a to the 10 thhouse, or or from Prajap Prajapati ati (the (the r ruler of the the 10 10th hou house), se), and divides the the area area into three parts. This This comprises half half the lagn lagna, a, the the 11 11 than of the 10th ho house. use. Parasara’s Para sara’s position on the other other hand hand begins begins with his object of worship, namely namely Surya and Brahma. Brahma. Sur of all light, is but another name for jyotisha, or the light of god. Brahma is the creator of this universe. To represent Prajapati or the lagna. To Parasara, everything in the horoscope is based on the lagna, a poin creation. The horoscope is thus nothing but a map of the heavens at the time life began. Since the lagna natural natu ral that bhava bhava should be based based on the lagn lagna a and the the lagna lagna lord. Bhavas Bhavas portray a person’s percepti The self or the created being being (which is lagn lagna), a), once created, begins begins to perceive and bhavas represent h different diffe rent aspects of his life, as characterised by separate houses. The Sripati Sripati Paddhat Paddhatii therefore therefore fails fails h
the created being, but only for the devas like Indra. A bhava or a rashi may be defined as nine navamshas . Navamshas are fixed and comprise one fou navamsha of a bhava which is 3° 20´ and the starting navamsha of the next bhava, which is again 3° 2 delineated as bhava sandhi.
Rashi sandhi Lagna being a sensitive point, any planet placed in rashi sandhi loses its power to do any good for its o destroys the house. A planet in bhava sandhi on the other hand, will only be concerned about saving its bothered about its environment. Bhava and rashi sandhis therefore act in opposite ways while meting o lagnadhipati when placed in the lagna, usually gives a person name and fame, but if placed in bhava sa remarkable for him. Let us take the example of the native given below. Chart 1 Male
The native in Chart 1 was born with an unrecorded but an approximate birth time. Upon his birth it was achieve great fame for himself. On this basis the placement of lagnadhipati Jupiter in Pisces lagna was bhava sandhi boundary. For a lagnadhipati placed in bhava sandhi would not have made it possible for t several books and acquire a name for himself as he did internationally in astrology. The lagnadhipati in t protected the bhava, but being the lord of the lagna placed in its own house, reached the native to great creativity and fame. Chart 2 Female
The above chart is an example of rashi sandhi, whereby the planet placed in rashi sandhi has destroye of 2nd and 9th houses is placed at rashi sandhi at 0°5´ Taurus, the transitional point between the rashis of the 2nd and 9th houses, it has denied the native the fruits of these houses at a physical plane. As lord sandhi has prevented the native from creating and sustaining a home and family. While as lord of 9 thho pitrisukh, as she lost her father when she was 21 years. This is a clear example of how a planet placed houses it owns. The worst forms of rashi sandhis are known as gandantas. Parasara has identified 3 gandantas, namel Leo and Scorpio-Sagittarius overlapping their nakshatra gandantas at Revati-Ashwini, Ashlesa-Magha these he considers the Jyeshta-Moola gandanta to be the worst afflicted and the Revati-Ashwini to be t deity of the nakshatra lord is to be propitiated for the solution to this predicament. One must note that a planet placed in rashi sandhi may or may not occupy the same bhava. If the plan the same bhava, it will give the result of the bhava rather than the rashi. If it is placed in a different bhav ownership of the house will prevail. In the case there are too many planets in one rashi, the native will b truly desires. In this instance the placement of the lords of the bhavas in the different houses becomes Share this:
