Hey Tim, it was a typo on my part. Courtney alerted me to it last week, just haven’t changed it in the lecture. Index finger ruled by Jupiter, Middle by Saturn, Ring by Sun and little finger by Mercury.
Jesse, the principal at work is that the Atmakaraka is ultimately the Lord of the natural chart. Basically he is the boss and all the other planets are employees. Doesn’t matter how many employees there are, the boss makes the decisions and holds the power.
Courtney, you would just count them as a planet for the first few steps of strength. After that, sthana bala can’t really be considered so you should consider the natural strength of the other 7 planets to be stronger than the nodes.
Thanks for catching the typos courtney! Ted, the narayana dasha is normally used with greater accuracy for smaller areas of time. Vimsottari is good when seeing what an entire planetary period will be like.
Good to see all of you! I am looking forward to the workshop as well. It will be some pretty difficult material, so I will do my best to provide as many example charts and illustrations as I can while we work through the lessons.
Very good! All three of you are correct at least in a general manner, with even some specific details. David’s post was very accurate and was making me laugh at the wonders of astrology; that David should so clearly and accurately describe a person when he has no idea who they are. I will wait for a few more posts before I let you all know who it is! Jesse and Anupom both made accurate assessments of the native’s general character and career, Jesse being clever to catch that public speaking or presentation could be involved (quite accurately). Anupom’s assertions about the effects of the Sun in the ascendant were also quite accurate.
My current plan is to make a new group when you all graduate called “Alumni” where we can all discuss advanced astrological concepts and cover different natal charts for research.
Everyone be sure to really review your level 2 material this week to prepare. We will not really have time to review much. We have a LOT of material to cover in this class.
