The Positive and Negative Regions of the Zodiac

When a planet's longitude falls in the Negative Regions of the Zodiac, such a planet's Period or Dasa is said to be negative ( Anishtaphalada ).

What is a destruction star ? The 27 constellations are classified into three groups Srishti ( Creative )rnSthithi ( Preservative )rnSamhara ( Destructive ). For instance, Aswini, is Creative ( Shristi ), Bharani is Sthithi ( Preservative ) and Karthika is Samhara ( Destructive ).

Downtide is negative and uptide is positive. Malefic satellites like Kala, Ardhaprahara, Gulika, Mrityu and Dhooma rising are considered inauspicious. Aspects of malefics are also considered baneful. In Astrology Vedic each planet has a satellite of its own.rnFor instance Phobos and Deimos of Mars are called as Dhooma &rnMrityu in Indian science. The longitudes of satellites of VenusrnMoon Mars Rahu & Ketu are calculated based on the sidereal rnlongitude of the Sun. PLANET SATELLITE METHOD OF COMPUTATION Mars Dhooma Sun's longitude + 133 deg 20 minsrnRahu Vyatipata 360- Dhooma's longitudernMoon Parivesh 180 + Vyatipata's longitudernVenus Indrachapa 360 - Parivesh's longitudernKetu Upaketu Indrachapa + 16 deg 40 mins A different method of calculation is adopted for the satellitesrnof Sun Jupiter Saturn Mercury & Mars. Days and nights are divi-rnded into 8 divisions. The first division is ruled by the lord of the day & other divi-rnsions are given to the other lords in sequential order. Duringrnnight the first lord is the fifth lord from the lord of the day. In order to measure the longitudes of satellites two differentrnmethods have been adopted.In the first method the beginning time rnof the planet who holds absolute sway is taken. In the other rnmethod the end time is taken.The Lagna is computed for this timernand this is how the longitude of the satellite is computed.rnIf a planet falls in creative stars or Shrishti taras, such a planet is said to be benefic. If a planet is placed in angular or trinal houses, he is said to be benefic. If planet is in uptide, he is benefic. If a planet is aspected by benefics, he is said to be a benefic. We have to see how many positive and negative points a planet gets, before embarking on prognostication. rnPranamsa Dehamsa shrishti tararnPiyoosha nadya shubha dhrishti yogaurnJalardra Oordhonyapi kopi yasyarnKendra thrigonopagathath thvam ishtam
