Navamsa location procedures

THOSE with Mesha, Simha or Dhanus as Lagna in the Rasi Chart will have their Navamsa Lagna from Mesha to Dhanus read in the clockwise direction. Those with Rishabha, Kanya or Makara as Lagna in the Rasi Chart, will have their Navamsa Lagna from Makara to Rishabha going clockwise. Those with Mithuna, Thula, or Kumbha Lagna in Rasi Chart, will have the Navamsa Lagna located from Thula to Mithuna read clockwise. People with Kataka, Vrischika, or Meena as Lagna in the Rasi Chart will have their Navamsa Lagna from Kataka to Meena moving clockwise.

Planets located in the Padas (Quarters) of the group of stars, Aswini, Rohini, Punarvasu, Makha, Hastha, Visakha, Moola, Sravana and Poorvabhadrapada will have their respective Navamsa positions from Mesha to Kataka in Navamsa. Planets located in the Padas of Bharani, Mrigasira, Pushyami, Pubba, Chitta, Anuradha, Poorvashada, Dhanishta, and Uttharabhadrapada will have their respective Navamsa positions from Simha to Vrishchika. Planets positioned in the Padas of Krithhika, Arudra, Aslesha, Uttharphalguni, Swathi, Jyeshta, Uttharashada, Sathabishak and Revathi will be in positions from Dhanus to Meena in the Navamsa Chart.

Readers can themselves verify the applicability of the two approaches. For example, a location in Aswini 1 will given Mesha in the Rasi Chart and the same in Navamsa too. A location in Kritthika 2 will give rishabha in the Rasi Chart and Makara in the Navamsa Chart.

Queries answered

An astrologer calculated a good date and time of birth for his grandchild, and the child was delivered surgically at that time. Can we arrange the future by such pre-fixed time of birth?

B. Madhu, Kannur, Kerala

Even though the Lagna (by time of birth) was fixed in dvance, there can be no guarantee that all planets would be favourably placed, and that the sequence of Maha Dasas and their sub-periods will be helpful in all the years to come. All we can say is that the little one came to be born as stated in the query, as it was fated to do so. There are slips of clock-time, calculation, and action to which machines, astrologers, doctors and surgeons, are subject. Where a Caesarean operation is medically advised, it may help to fix a time astrologically for Lagna and Lagna Lord to be favourably located for such a delivery. But it would be presumptuous and ill-advised to think that the future of a child yet unborn can be determined entirely by such means. Surgical delivery is a poor weapon and means againt the strong forces governed by the well-established Law of Karma.
