~~ BPHS Ch. 8, Shloka 1-9 = 1-3. Rashi Drishti:
O Maitreya, now detailed are the drishtis emanating from the rashi Mesha, etc..
· Every movable rashi casts drishti upon the 3 fixed rashi leaving the fixed rashi adjacent to it.
· Every fixed rashi gives drishti to the 3 movable rashi barring the adjacent movable rashi.
· And a common rashi gives a drishti to the other three common rashi.
· The graha in a rashi gives the same drishti as the rashi (in which the graha is) does.
4-5. Dristhi of the Graha:
· A graha in a movable rashi gives a drishti to the other 3 fixed rashi leaving the fixed rashi next to it.
· A graha in a fixed rashi does not give a drishti to the next movable rashi, but the remaining 3 movable rashi.
· The one in a common rashi gives a drishti to the remaining 3 common rashi.
· Simultaneously, a graha in the rashi that receives a drishti is also subjected to the drishti concerned.
6-9. Diagram of Drishti:
As depicted by Lord Brahma, I now narrate the diagram of drishti, so that drishti are easily understood by a mere sight of the diagram.
Draw a square or a circle marking the 8 directions (4 corners and 4 quarters thereof).
Mark the zodiacal rashis as under:
| 1 | Mesha and Vrishabha | in east; |
| 2 | Mithuna | in the north-east; |
| 3 | Karka and Simha | in the north; |
| 4 | Kanya | in the north-west; |
| 5 | Thula and Vrischika | in the west; |
| 6 | Dhanusha | in the south-west; |
| 7 | Makara and Kumbha | in the south; |
| 8 | Meena | in the south-east. |
| Graha Drishti | 100% Full Drishti | 75% Drishti | 50% Drishti | 25% Drishti |
| Surya [Sun] | · upon the house 7th-from his position | · upon the house 4th-from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the house 10th-from his position |
| Chandra [Moon] | · upon the house 7th-from his position | · upon the house 4th-from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the house 10th-from his position |
| Mangala [Mars] | · upon the house 4th-from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the house 10th-from his position | · upon the house 7th-from his position |
| Budha [Mercury] | · upon the house 7th-from his position | · upon the house 4th-from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the house 10th-from his position |
| Guru [Jupiter] | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position (sends purva-punya) | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the house 10th-from his position | · upon the house 7th-from his position | · upon the house 4th-from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position |
| Shukra [Venus] | · upon the house 7th-from his position | · from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the house 10th-from his position |
| Shani [Saturn] | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the sign 10th-from his position | · upon the house 7th-from his position | · upon the house 4th-from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position |
| [North lunar node] | · upon the house 5th-from his position · upon the house 9th-from his position · upon the house 12th-from his position (sends purva-paapa) | · upon the house 3rd-from his position · upon the house 10th-from his position | · upon the house 7th-from his position | · upon the house 4th-from his position · upon the house 8th-from his position |
| [South lunar node] | · No Graha Drishti · (sends only Rashi Drishti) | | | |
· Drishti of Guru upon the 5th and 9th houses from Himself indicates purva-punya = credit from compassionate actions of past lives..
· In practice, Graha which receive drishti of Guru become easier, more optimistic, more inclusive and abundant, more naturally expansive. When Shani receives drishti of Guru, the native's work comes easily, although there is a lot of it, and if Surya is there one may come to boast of one's accomplishments.
· Drishti of Shani upon the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses from Himself indicates ignorance needing to be transformed into wisdom, a heavy workload, and materialistic constraints born by the receiving graha.
· The nature of the work depends on houses ruled by Shani.
· E.g., for Thula lagna , Shani as L-4+L-5 is very much the education lord. Graha receiving drishti of Shani for the Thulanative will give hard effort toward educational attainments that carry a mark of Divine-intelligence channeling genius. But make no mistake this variety of genius is the result of heavy, relentless, labor and entirely lawful behavior.
· Mahatma Gandhi has the Shani drishti into bhava-4 of patriotism, the customs of one's land and people, schooling - and Ketu in 4. Gandhi was a highly eccentric (Ketu) but entirely lawful (Shani) and ultimately brilliant (5) teacher (4), for which he paid a very high price in terms of insecurity and discomfort (Shani/4)
· Drishti of Rahu upon the 5th and 9th houses from Himself indicates purva-paapa = debit from selfish actions during previous births.
o Rahu's strongest drishti is actually His 12th ray, which He casts upon the 12th-from-Himself.
o Since Rahu is travelling "backward" He is casting a very strong eye on the place He is progressing into, 12th-from.
o The house 12th-from Rahu is where (although nobody expects it)
o Rahu will do his worst damage through uncontrolled acts of passion and taboo-breaking desire.
· Ketu sends no drishti.
