North Indian chart: what is it?
Rashi is the focal point of the South Indian Chart. When the chart is complete, the planets are positioned in the box according to the Rashi or sign that they fall under. The appropriate box has the ascendant noted in it. A slanted line or the writing Asc or Lagna in the relevant box are used to indicate it. The houses from the ascendant or Lagna are then carefully counted. Some people might find this to be a laborious procedure, but with time and experience, the astrologer becomes able to see the house numbers without having to count each time.
The Advantages Of The South Indian Chart
This chart’s benefits include a more accurate representation of the astronomy of the sky. Additionally, it makes it quite simple to recognize the planet’s dignity at a look. There is no need to redo or visualize the chart when one wants to change the Lagna and view it from the Moon or any other planet. One graphic can be used for all purposes.
A South Indian chart requires a lot of manual counting for people who are used to seeing characteristics in other charts. With practice, this also becomes a great deal simpler. The second box in the uppermost row, which is always Aries (Mesha), serves as the starting point for the South Indian chart’s counting, which then moves in a clockwise direction. Since the Rashis are always in the same boxes and do not require labeling, none of the boxes need to be numbered. By starting your count from the box labeled Lagna/ascendant, you can locate the house numbers just as easily. For convenience, some individuals label the home numbers.
A Rashi-by-Rashi chart comparison is fairly simple to perform using the South Indian chart. Studying the two charts side by side. It is simple to discern how one person’s planet is positioned in respect to another person’s planet because the Rashis are static. For instance, one can find the boy’s Moon while matchmaking. The relationship’s trajectory might then be simply determined by counting to the girl’s chart’s Moon.
This chart is considerably simpler to fill with planets because each Rashi in the chart is given the same amount of space. There is no oddly formed smaller area where planets must be crammed.
The North Indian Chart
The Kundali or diamond chart pattern used in North India is more astrological than astronomical. A house-centric chart format is used. Each section’s houses in this case are static. The Rashis tasked with leading the sections shift. As a result, the first box on the chart is always at the top, while the seventh box is always at the bottom. The Kendras and Trikonas can be quickly identified thanks to the North Indian chart type.
What are Rahu and Ketu for me?
Vedic astrology (Jyotish) analyzes a chart using seven solid physical planets: the Moon, Sun, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus, as well as Rahu and Ketu. Our birth chart, which depicts our soul’s journey on earth, is made up of the configuration or combination of planets above the location of our birth at the time of birth. The chart will reveal information about our personality, the types of relationships we will have, as well as information about our work, finances, and health, to name a few topics. The Vedic approach will also take into account planetary phases and transits when predicting when karmic events will take place in our lives.
Unlike the other seven planets, Rahu and Ketu aren’t actually made of physical matter; instead, they’re regions of churned-up energy that are loaded with meaning and mystique. They are the locations where the orbits of the Moon and Earth cross. Due to the fact that these two electromagnetic disturbances lie opposite one another, they are known as the Moon’s Nodes, or Rahu and Ketu in Vedic terminology.
The aggregate name given to the Moon’s nodes in Sanskrit is RahuKetu. The Moon’s north and south nodes are Rahu and Ketu, respectively. They are constantly 180 degrees apart and in direct opposition to one another.
In a Vedic astrology chart, they represent the karmic axis, which shows the different karmas that each person will face in this life. They also reveal the areas of your life where you will put your attention and strive for excellence.
Lord Visnu, according to Indian mythology, made the Deities (the seven planets) eternal.
To make the planetary Gods immortal, Visnu had churned the sea in order to obtain a sacred liquid called amrita. To receive the nectar elixir, Visnu lined up all of the planetary deities. But a demon by the name of Rakshasha, who had the appearance of a dragon, had snuck in and assumed the form of a god in order to gain immortality. When Visnu realized he had been duped into giving the demon the nectar, he pulled out his sword and hacked it in half. Since they had ingested the honey, the dragon’s head (Rahu) and tail (Ketu) could no longer be destroyed. The nodes, Rahu, and Ketu made amends to Visnu after realizing how upset they had caused him and eventually received planetary status. In order to govern the karmic effects and circumstances in our life, Rahu and Ketu work through the Rahu Ketu axis. Rahu’s symbol represents the dragon’s head, and Ketu’s symbol represents the dragon’s tail.
The primary area of attention for the individual is indicated by Rahu’s placement in the Vedic astrology chart. For instance, a person with Rahu in the ascendant sign (the first house) will appear to be highly selfish to others around them and will be very self-centered. To establish a relationship, however, that individual must have this concentration, and it is their challenge to manage how to balance their demands with those of a partner. The difficulty for someone with Rahu in the first residence is in this area. Rahu in the career-related 10th house signifies a strong concentration on career and status, as well as a strong need for approval in terms of authority and position. Rahu in the sixth house indicates that the person is dedicated to serving others by providing medical care and assistance to the general public. Rahu in the fourth house will put a heavy emphasis on the domestic setting. Regardless of a person’s rising sign, moon sign, or sun sign, the Rahu Ketu axis can be utilized to illuminate their life’s purpose and path by adding a new layer of significance to their chart in this way.
Rahu can also stand for unquenchable wants because it symbolizes focus and the places you are most likely to direct your efforts. In order to achieve some harmony in our life, one of our challenges will be to restrain or regulate our wants. Rahu in the tenth house may point to inclinations that, if left unchecked, could develop into workaholism. Working too much will probably result in a partner who is unhappy and consequently, relationship issues. Thus, it is clear that pursuing our passions can also provide challenges. Rahu can also be a symbol of money and power, which is why many Chinese people, in particular, believe that worshiping a dragon will bring riches into their lives.
Ketu, the opposite of Rahu, is far more concerned with bringing in the past-life wisdom that is relevant to this life and encouraging us to let go of emotional baggage and guilt while Rahu is very much interested in material and earthly things. As Ketu moves beyond intellectual reasoning and more towards faith, it will also inspire us to let rid of intellectual reasoning to some measure. Ketu can create obstacles and suffering in our life to force us to alter our thought patterns and move on. It could manifest as unreasonable anxieties, encouraging the examination of the subconscious, which once more has the potential to bring about significant progress. When it comes to transformation and submitting the ego to a greater power, which can finally result in enlightenment, Ketu is actually very idealistic.
Thus, we have the axis, with Rahu strongly associated with wants and the material world on the one side and Ketu strongly associated with the spiritual world on the other. Both are influencing your life by stoking your aspirations and simultaneously pushing you in the direction of renunciation. The human predicament and the nature of our internal conflict are found here.
Rahu, who also symbolizes the ego and the body, will exhort us to seek fulfillment, success, and power in a certain area of life. It may even be manipulative and dishonest in its effort to realize its goals, tricking us into thinking we are protecting the interests of others rather than our own. Politicians are considered to often possess a strong Rahu! Rahu is deeply ingrained in our subconscious mind, making it challenging for us to recognize the tricks Rahu pulls in our life. Because the ego can be so elusive and slippery, it is seen as important in the Vedic and Yoga traditions to locate a Guru to help you on your search to let go of it. On the other side, Ketu stands for renunciation, release, and complete freedom from material concerns. The soul is another aspect of Ketu. The Kundalini will rise after Rahu is able to divert its focus from material gain and unite its goals with Ketu’s. It is conceivable for Rahu from the root chakra to rise and unite with Ketu in the crown chakra, leading to unity and enlightenment.
Since actual and lasting fulfillment in these areas is really an illusion, the majority of us will need to continue letting Rahu lead us into a variety of diverse experiences in each of our incarnations. When that realization has deeply ingrained itself inside our psyche, we may then be prepared to begin combining Rahu and Ketu energies in order to progress to Nirvana and find more fulfillment.
Rahu is a North Node.
The lunar nodes are used by astrologers to identify your destiny (north node) and your past lives (south node). Each 18 months, the nodes generally change their indications. Your “soul tribe” is made up of people who have the same lunar node group as you. For the same reasons that they were incarnated, you were as well.
The lunar nodes are the main topic of astrology in the Kabbalah. The north node is referred to in this system as your tikkun, or “correction,” and is seen as the karmic change your soul needs to make. The north node, Rahu, is referred to in Vedic astrology as the head of the dragon, while the south node, Ketu, is considered to have a worse karma.
Parents-to-be should be aware that you will share nodes if your child is between the ages of 18 and 19 or 36 and 37. And there’s a good likelihood that anyone you date, marry, or work with who is nine or ten years your junior or senior will have the opposite nodes (for example, if your south node is Virgo and their north node is Virgo). You have both mastered what the other has come to understand, making this a potent yet divisive zodiac compatibility combo. You can become unstoppable if you combine your innate talents.
Am I able to read my own Kundli?
It should only be used when absolutely necessary because it is thought of as the Vedas’ eyes. whenever you’re. It would be disastrous to not treat this as a serious science. Therefore, it is advisable to “not read your own Kundli,” especially for individuals with limited knowledge.
Why not Rahu in the seventh house?
Rahu in the seventh house indicates that the person will dominate those around them, but they will have few solid relationships. Many people will pretend to be with them, but the majority of them won’t be reliable. Rahu in the 7th House indicates that not everyone will be wholly devoted to their partners.
What is the rise in you?
Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. It offers insight into your abilities, capabilities, and potential coping mechanisms for navigating life. It speaks to the image you present to the worldsome could even call the mask you wear. If you’ve ever thought that people don’t immediately see you as your sun sign, that’s probably because they’re noticing your rising.
What numbers are on the lagna chart?
But when you first see a birth chart, you could find it overwhelming and completely perplexing. And it’s very acceptable given that studying and comprehending astrology might take a lifetime.
To read the various houses and planetary positions, one just needs to comprehend a few key aspects of a kundli, which isn’t as difficult as it would seem.
Here’s how to get started if you want to learn how to read a birth chart as a beginner:
You’ll need to know a person’s date, time, and place of birth in order to construct a birth chart. Then, forecasts are made using this birth information along with the kundli’s placement and condition of the planets and zodiac signs.
Each of the 12 Houses in a Kundli represents a distinct area of your life, along with your physical characteristics, attributes, and interests. Any planet or zodiac sign placed in a house will therefore affect that house’s factors and produce results based on that.
5th House: Higher Education, Love Affair, Progeny, Past Life Experience
7th House: Public Image, Relationships, Marriage, Spouse, and Long-Term Partnerships
9th House: Long-Distance Travel, Higher Education, Beliefs, Religion, Father, Mentor, and Luck
Learn about the planets and the houses each one is in. Planets are the life lessons that mold our personalities. The nine planets of the birth chart are listed below, along with their Vedic names, standard acronyms, and significance in Vedic astrology.
Surya Sun Su 1.
5. Jupiter/Guru Brihaspati
Shukra Venus Ve 6.
8. Rahu Rising Node Rah
9. Ketu Descending Ket
Finding the lagna, or rising sign/ascendant, is the first stage in kundli reading. The Lagna is represented by the number mentioned in the First House. The Lagna, or first house in the birth chart or kundli, marks the beginning of the birth chart and all other houses follow from it, organized counterclockwise until the twelfth. Remember that the first house is always related with the lagna.
The signs that correspond to Aries are 1, Taurus 2, Gemini 3, Cancer 4, Leo 5, Virgo 6, Libra 7, Scorpio 8, Sagittarius 9, Capricorn 10, Aquarius 11, and Pisces 12.
In your kundli, the Sun and the Moon stand in for the core components of who you are. Your inner and outer personalities are governed by these two planets. Your masculine, outgoing, and concentrated side is symbolized by the Sun. The Moon is a symbol of your feminine, introspective, and inward-looking personality.
You can learn the foundations of your inner and outer selves once you have determined the House and Sign placements of both the Sun and the Moon.
Keep in mind that the placement of the house indicates the key regions and overarching themes in your life. Additionally, the symptoms reflect the traits that are a result of your personality and experiences in life.
Your birth chart will have a unique zodiac sign in each house. Additionally, a particular planet essentially rules or governs each of these signs (s). Take a look at the table below.
Find the Lords’ residence and sign location once you have determined their identity, exactly as you did with the Sun and Moon. What positions do Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Rahu, and Ketu have in your astrological chart?
It takes time to become proficient at interpreting a birth chart, of course. Take it slow and easy. Begin with the identification process, then progressively move on to interpreting it. To perfect this craft, practice is necessary. For a deeper grasp of astrology, studying your own chart is the ideal starting point.
