Namaste,
the last post on hora's informed the reader what day and hours are owned by the grahas. Now how can one test this and put it to practice? Lets show a couple of examples.
Example 1
Going to the doctor. Lets assume one wants to make a doctor's appointment. The native is a Aries ( Mesha) ascendant. Seeing the doctor has everything to do with the body and this is indicated by the lagna and it's lord. The Mesha ascendant lord is Mars. Mars owns Tuesday, so a Tuesday appointment makes sense, Mars rules the day.
A Little Deeper
Same example as 1, yet one wants to see the eye doctor. Mars is lagna lord, and Tuesday still makes sense. Now what time for the appointment?
The hora of the sun, as the sun rules the eyes. So the hora's of the sun, on Tuesday = the 2nd, 9th, 15th and 22nd hora's. What times are theses? Remember that hora's begin at sunrise and start there. So lets assume the sun came up at 6 AM. the 2nd hour would be 7 AM, the 9th hora = 2 PM, the 15th hora 8 PM, and finally 3 AM .
What is the best hora I would take? 7 AM first, then the 2 PM due to the sun's brightness and relevence to light. Like that we can choose the day, and then choose body part in question , Head (Aries) Chest and heart ( Cancer), legs Aquarius and Capricorn ( Owned by sani and work as do the arms for lifting) feet (Pisces), etc. all have a graha owner - and can be found in any good jyotish book. And what of mental-emotional considerations? The head yes, and the emotions is that of the Moon, So Aries + Cancer would be my choice.
If one would want a deeper understanding, one could read Essentials of Medical Astrology, by Dr. KS Charak. He outlines the owners of all the internal organs in question.
Example 2
Starting a new Job
The natives lagna is Leo ( simha). The 10th house rules careers. The 10th house for a Leo = Taurus, owned by Venus ( Sukra). Venus owns Friday.
If possible try to start the job on Friday , on the hora of Venus ( On Friday Venus owns the first hora or 6 M).
NOW I can see you laughing, 'yajvan how many jobs do you know start on Friday' - a valid point! So, what to do? Choose a hora that is owned by Venus on Monday if that is the official start time for the new job. That would be 11 AM , if the sun comes up at 6 AM on monday.
A little deeper
So, lets say you are established in jyotish and buy into all this. Then you say , my job really is not me, really. It is a reflection of me, what society thinks I am. Then this would be a wise view and the native would pick the Arudha of the 10th house called the Karma pada, some call the Karmarudha or just the A10 in short.
One would look to see what house the A10 owns and choose the day and the hora of the A10. Say it is Pisces. Pisces is owned by Jupiter. Jupiter owns Thursday. The hora of Jupiter on Thursday's is the 1st, 8th, and the 20th hora. So the 1st or 8 hora ( 6AM or 1 PM start, assuming a 6 AM sunrise); Assume that is not practical and your boss is not a jyotish subscriber! Choose monday if that is Mandatory and the 3rd hora or the 9th hora ( I would take the 9th hora and will explain in a second).
My hypothesis on Job starting. Most jobs in the USA start on Monday morning. It just so happens the Rahu Kalam for Monday morning starts at 7:30 AM and finishes at 9 AM. A inauspicious time to start work I would say.
So in the example above for the Pisces A10 native looking to start work, his/her start time for the first day in the hora of Jupiter would fall in the time of Rahu Kalam.
It is my humble opinion that one's career or new job is at a distinct disadvantage when one begins a new endeavor during Rahu Kalam.
So, how does one know when this time starts ? Here is a site that will calculate it for you based upon the sun rise of the day: http://www.agasthiar.org/panchang/rahu/rahu.htm
Can you make it easier , so I can print it out and take it with me, so I can see a week or two weeks in advance?
sure... http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/panchangam/
What else can one do with this information? Use it to sign contracts, begin a new relationship or partnership ( the 7th house); the best time to perform Yajya ( I use hora, tithi, etc for this), etc.
Hope this snippet gives one a clue on the use of Jyotish knowledge.
