grahas move around the zodiac interacting with the natal chart grahas this period of interaction is called gochara sanskrit gochara transit 77 the study of transits is based on the transit of the moon chandra which spans roughly two days and also on the movement of mercury budha and venus śukra across the celestial sphere which are relatively fast as viewed from earth the movement of the slower planets jupiter guru saturn śani and rāhu ketu is always of considerable importance astrologers study the transit of the daśā lord from various reference points in the horoscope yogas planetary combinations edit in hindu astronomy yoga sanskrit yoga union is a combination of planets placed in a specific relationship to each other 78 rāja yogas are perceived as givers of fame status and authority and are typically formed by the association of the lord of keṅdras quadrants when reckoned from the lagna ascendant and the lords of the trikona trines 120 degrees first fifth and ninth houses the rāja yogas are culminations of the blessings of viṣṇu and lakṣmī some planets such as mars for leo lagna do not need another graha or navagraha planet to create rājayoga but are capable of giving rājayoga by themselves due to their own lordship of the 4th bhāva astrological house and the 9th bhāva from the lagna the two being a keṅdra angular house first fourth seventh and tenth houses and trikona bhāva respectively 79 dhana yogas are formed by the association of wealth giving planets such as the dhaneśa or the 2nd lord and the lābheśa or the 11th lord from the lagna dhana yogas are also formed due to the auspicious placement of the dārāpada from dara spouse and pada foot one of the four divisions 3 degrees and 20 minutes of a nakshatra in the 7th house when reckoned from the ārūḍha lagna al the combination of the lagneśa and the bhāgyeśa also leads to wealth through the lakṣmī yoga 79 sanyāsa yogas are formed due to the placement of four or more grahas excluding the sun in a keṅdra bhāva from the lagna 80 there are some overarching yogas in jyotiṣa such as amāvasyā doṣa kāla sarpa yoga kāla amṛta yoga and graha mālika yoga that can take precedence over yamaha yogar planetary placements in the horoscope 79 bhāvas houses edit the hindu jātaka or janam kundali or birth chart is the bhāva chakra sanskrit division wheel the complete 360 circle of life divided into houses and represents a way of enacting clarification needed the influences in the wheel each house has associated kāraka sanskrit significator planets that can alter the interpretation of a particular house each bhāva spans an arc of 30 with twelve bhāvas in any chart of the horoscope these are a crucial part of any horoscopic study since the bhāvas understood as state of being personalize the astrological signs to the native and each sign apart from indicating its true nature reveals its impact on the person based on the bhāva occupied the best way to study the various facets of jyotiṣa is to see their role in chart evaluation of actual persons and how these are construed 81 the meanings of the bhāvas are very similar to the triplicities in western astrology the houses are divided into four purusharthas sanskrit aims in life which point to mood or meaning of the house these four purusharthas are dharma duty artha resources kama pleasure and moksha liberation they correspond to the 12 bhavas as follows 82 dharma 1st 5th and 9th bhavas the need to find a path and purpose artha 2nd 6th and 10th bhavas the need to acquire the necessary resources to fulfill that path kama 3rd 7th and 11th bhavas the need for pleasure and enjoyment moksha 4th 8th and 12th bhavas the need to attain liberation from the world these 4 aims of life are repeated in above sequence 3 times through the 12 bhavas 82 the first round bhavas 1 through 4 show the process within the individual the second round bhavas 5 through 8 show the alchemy in relating to other people the third round bhavas 9 through 12 show the universalization of the self dharma duty houses artha resources houses kama pleasure houses moksha liberation houses 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 dṛiṣṭis edit drishti sanskrit dṛṣṭi sight is an aspect to an entire house grahas cast only forward aspects with the furthest aspect being considered the strongest for example jupiter aspects the 5th 7th and 9th house from its position mars aspects the 4th 7th and 8th houses from its position and its 8th house 83 the principle of drishti aspect was devised on the basis of the aspect of an army of planets as deity and demon in a war field 84 thus the sun a deity king with only one full aspect is more powerful than the demon king saturn which has three full aspects 80 aspects can be cast both by the planets graha dṛṣṭi and by the signs rāśi dṛṣṭi planetary aspects are a function of desire while sign aspects are a function of awareness and cognizance 82 there are some higher aspects of graha dṛṣṭi planetary aspects that are not limited to the viśeṣa dṛṣṭi or the special aspects rāśi dṛṣṭi works based on the following formulaic structure all movable signs aspect fixed signs except the one adjacent and all dual and mutable signs aspect each other without exception 80 planetary aspects graha dṛṣṭi edit each planet has a specific way of casting aspects drishti on other houses from its position sun aspects the 7th house from its position moon aspects the 7th house mercury aspects the 7th house venus aspects the 7th house jupiter aspects the 5th 7th and 9th houses mars aspects the 4th 7th and 8th houses saturn aspects the 3rd 7th and 10th houses rahu aspects the 5th and 9th houses some traditions ketu aspects the 5th and 9th houses some traditions these aspects are fixed and not based on degree differences like in western astrology the aspect strength depends on the planet and its position 85 see also edit india portal hinduism portal archaeoastronomy and vedic chronology
