रासचक्र

Nakshatras have effect on the human body, in the same way the Rashis also show their effect in their respective degrees(ansh). The whole Universe (360 degrees) is divided into 12 parts, i.e each Rashi covers 30degree each.

  

The Circle of 12 Rashis with Reference to the Earth

This illustration shows the sequence of the 12 equal segments of the Rashis, with their Sanskrit and English names, and numbers.

1. Mesha—Aries
2. Vrishabha—Taurus
3. Mithuna—Gemini
4. Karka—Cancer
5. Simha—Leo
6. Kanya—Virgo
7. Tula—Libra
8. Vrishchika—Scorpio
9. Dhanu—Sagittarius
10. Makara—Capricorn
11. Kumbha—Aquarius
12. Meena—Pisces

As seen from the earth, the sun moves through the circle of 12 Rashis within the course of one year. It takes the sun about one month to pass through one Rashi. Here, the sun is shown moving through Mesha Rashi or the sign of Aries. The moon is shown moving through Karka Rashi or the sign of Cancer. All the other planets are also moving through the Rashis, although they are not illustrated in this chart.

Sage VARAHMIHIR declared that the presence of these 12 Rashis is in the body itself, because our ancient Sage believe that the Universe which is outside is also inside us.

“यत् पिंडे.. तत् ब्रह्मांडे...”

The resepective positions of this Rashi on the human body is given below-

The nine planets travelling in these Rashis also have particular effect on humans in different ways.

Surya-        Soul

Chandra-  Mind

Mangal-    Patience

Buddh-      Voice

Guru-         Knowledge

Shukra-     Semen

Shani-        Loneliness

In this way, the outer and the inner Universe are inivisibly connected and the future prediction is done by seeing the position of the stars in the outer sky, and understanding its result in our own self.

In the 27 Nakshatra post I had desciped the Nakshatras, now you will understand rhe relation between Nakshatra and Rashi, and the table will tell you how to know your Rashi with the first letter of your name(In Hindi). The 12 Rashis have 7 Lords-

Srl No.                                    RASHI                                 LORD

1                                               Mesh                                   Mangal

2                                               Vrish                                  Shukra

3                                               Mithun                               Buddh

4                                               Kark                                    Chandrama

5                                               Singh                                   Surya

6                                               Kanya                                  Buddh

7                                               Tula                                      Shukra

8                                               Vrishik                                MAngal

9                                               Dhanu                                  Brihaspati

10                                             Makar                                  Shani

11                                             Kumbh                                 Shani

12                                             Meen                                    Brihaspati

Whenever in the Janm Kundali you see any number, you should understand that the number stands for the respective Rashi’s serial number. The serial number 1-12 is used as a short cut, the Astrologers use this short cut for easy understanding.

For eg- If it is written 4 in any house then it is clear that it is KARK rashi in that house.

Rashi: Friend/ Enemy Chart

Each Rashi show enimity or friendship behaviour between each other, it depends on the basic elements in them. The elements of the Planet ruling that Rashi is responsible for this behaviour.

Friend Elements-                        Prithvi Tattva+Jal Tattva

                                                             Agni Tattva+Jal Tattva

 

Enemy Elements-                       Prithvi Tattva+Agni Tattva

                                                            Jal Tattva+Agni Tattva

                                                            Jal Tattva+Vayu Tattva

Two people having Friend Rashis will find easy to be comfortable with each other, while those who are of Enemy Rashi, even if they are Husband-Wife they will always have differences.

Matchmaking is a very important ctivity whether is for partnershiping, or marriage or starting a new business it will only be helpful, those who say that its mere wastage of time, they are the ones who have little knowledge regarding this field.

I personally believe, that rather than going for corrupt Pandits and dhongi Babas why not understand the terms yourself and be your own master!

Remember, Knowledge is a wast Ocean, its you who have to decide you want to take just a bucket full of water, a single drop...........or bath in the whole open ocean.....!

Earlier we had seen the names acording to the Nakshatras, now we shall see name letters according to the Rashis.
