राशि-दृष्टिRāśi-Dṛṣṭi — Jaimini's Sign-Aspect System

Rāśi-dṛṣṭi Jaimini's distinctive aspect-rule: rāśis (not grahas) aspect rāśis, with specific rules based on movability. A key interpretive supplement to graha-dṛṣṭi.

viṣaya-sūcī · what this module covers

  • Cara (movable) rāśis — Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn — aspect all fixed (sthira) signs except the adjacent one
  • Sthira (fixed) rāśis — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius — aspect all movable (cara) signs except the adjacent one
  • Dvi-svabhāva (dual) rāśis — Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces — aspect the other three dual signs
  • Argalā — 'intervention' on a bhāva from the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 11th
  • Virodha-argalā — counter-intervention from the 12th, 10th, 9th, 3rd

saṃkṣepa

Jaimini's aspect-system is geometrically different from Pārāśara's. Where Pārāśara has grahas casting aspects (with specific houses for Mars 4/8, Jupiter 5/9, Saturn 3/10, all 7/), Jaimini has rāśis casting aspects on rāśis. The rule depends on the rāśi-class: a movable sign aspects all fixed signs except the one immediately next to it; a fixed sign aspects all movable signs except the one immediately next to it; dual signs aspect the other three dual signs.

This produces a different aspect-network than Pārāśara's graha-dṛṣṭi. The two are used complementarily: graha-dṛṣṭi answers 'which grahas are influencing this bhāva?'; rāśi-dṛṣṭi answers 'which rāśis are interacting?'. Where both converge, the interpretive signal is strong.

Argalā ('intervention') is a related concept from Adhy. 1 · Pāda 2: the bhāvas in 2nd, 4th, 5th, 11th from any reference-point form 'interventions' that modify that point's expression; virodha-argalā ('counter-intervention') from 12th, 10th, 9th, 3rd resists those modifications. Argalā analysis is a major Jaimini-specific interpretive move.

  1. 01 · Computation

    For any chart at /chart, identify a movable sign (e.g., Aries) that contains a graha. Compute which fixed signs Aries aspects by Jaimini's rāśi-dṛṣṭi: all sthira signs EXCEPT the one immediately next to Aries. The answer is Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius (NOT Taurus). Trace this aspect-network for one full chart.
