Lesson 28-Recapitulation

It is necessary at this point that we have to recapitulate what we have learnt so far.

We saw that to know the time of event, we have to find the significators or the ruling planets or both. We can eliminate the significators by ruling planet method also. After finding the significators by constellation theory, we take those in common with the ruling planets at the moment of judgment. But this concept is not based on scientific principles, for, in that case, finding the significators is not at all necessary!

In the previous articles we learnt that planets in the constellation of the occupants are the strongest. Then come the occupants and then the planets in the constellations of the ruler of the house and finally the ruler.

In the example chart we learnt that Saturn dis, Kethu bukti took the native to an alien country, US. The questions before us were 1) If Saturn could give the result in its disa, why can't the lame planet give the result in its bukti. 2) The idea that the time of the event should be ruled by all the fruitful significators, also was not convincing, because, the antaras (sub sub periods) and the sookshumas (sub-sub-sub periods) might be ruled by the other significators. We also learnt that the transit method , sub theory and negation method are also not reliable.

So today I am going to present a new concept, the Same level (SL) theory. It means that the disa lord must be in the constellation of the occupant or ruler of the house under study. In the same way, since bukti  corresponds to the sub, the bukti ruler must be deposited in the sub of the occupant or ruler of the house. The same analogy might be applied to antharas and sookshumas.

In our example chart, Saturn disa offered the result but it did not offer in its bukti because the cool planet was in the sub of Venus which is not at all related to the IX or XII house which are considered for foreign travel. Mercury also did not offer the result in its bukti because the sub occupied by the scholor was the Dragon's Head Rahu which again, is not an occupant of any of the related houses. The Tail of the Dragon offered in its bukti because its sublord is Moon, an occupant of the IX house.

We will study this concept with more examples in the ensuing lessons.
