Atmakaraka in Sagittarius
One of the favourite tricks of astrologers is to seek an explanation for their failures behind a classical principle which they may not have tested themselves. Now one of the best explanations is that if AK is in Sagittarius or if the Karakamsha lagna is Sagittarius there will be a fall. Now what does fall mean? It can mean, let me say from my experience, any of these three things;
(a) Fall from a height physically, fall from a high position from a hill, from a top floor or even an airplane.
(b) It can mean sudden death from such diseases as cause death.
(c) It can mean assassination or violent death.
But this is not coming correct in all cases if it is applied as a general rule to an individual.
I have worked on fourteen different dashas of Jaimini with varying successes in them and now say confidently about nine of them have given me higher percentage of results. In all these dashas what I have observed is that the results given by Jaimini seem to manifest in the major or sub-periods.
An interesting corollary to this principle is that I have seen people making careers in Sagittarius dashas.
Sagittarius as the kodanda rashi must bestow position of authority to allow someone to a position of height. See four contrasting examples from the same family, the Nehrus.
(a) Pt. Nehru has his AK, the Moon, in Sagittarius navamsha but he died of an illness, not suddenly.
(b) Indira Gandhi has her AK, Saturn, in Cancer with Capricorn navamsha and she died a violent death.
(c) Sanjay Gandhi has his AK, Venus, in Libra and Taurus navamsha and he died a violent death.
(d) Rajiv Gandhi has his AK, Mercury, in Leo and Sagittarius navamsha and he died a gruesome violent death, like his brother and mother but, unlike his grandfather.
But I have seen in the case of violent deaths, some common features in the birth horoscope, in the navamsha, drekkana and the condition of the AK and the Karakamsha whether or not Sagittarius is involved.
Yet, I have seen repeatedly that Sagittarius dasha in Jaimini is a period of rise and also sickness. Very few astrologers will apply triple check before predicting such events. The triple check should be – first through the very familiar Vimshottari dasha, then Jaimini’s Chara dasha and a second Jaimini dasha, if one knows it.
Notes:
- This part of my research need not have formed an integral part of my revelations of over two decades of research into the timing of events through Jaimini Chara dasha as it is too advanced even for those familiar with Jaimini astrology and who have translated the meaning of Jaimini Sutras, without first verifying through practical studies, whether their understanding of the content and meaning of the Sutras was sound enough or not.
- At any rate, since it got published, I have done further research in these specific areas from Jaimini angle and can now say with confidence that between 1991 when I wrote these and now (1995) my research has come to a very satisfying conclusion, which, to say the least, is frightening.
- Part of the vast research referred to is now available in my other book on Jaimini, Predicting through Karakamsha and Jaimini’s Mandook Dasha.
