In classical Vedic astrology this
hora chart finds 2nd place just after rashi chart in षोङषवर्ग
(Shodashvarga) scheme. It is the division of a राशी (Rashi
=Sign) of 30o into two equal parts of 15deg. each. So a राशी (Rashi
=Sign) consists of 2 horas of 15deg. each. Thus in 12 राशी (Rashi
=Signs) the total number of horas will be 12*2 = 24 horas. In Indian
astrology a day consists of 24 horas perhaps that is why, division in 24 parts
of a zodiac of 360deg. is known as hora chart in Indian astrology.
This chart is very easy to construct. It
may be constructed mentally. All the राशी (Rashi =Sign)are divided into
two groups:
(1) Odd
number group: मेष (Mesha = Aries), मिथुन (Mithuna = Gemini), सिंह (Simha = Leo), तुला (Tula = Libra), धनु (Dhanu =
Sagittarius) & कुंभ (Kumbh = Aquarius) come under this group.
(2) Even
number group: वृष (Vrish = Taurus), कर्क (Karka =Cancer), कन्या (Kanya = Virgo), वृश्चिक (Vrischika =
Scorpio), मकर (Makar =
Capricorn) & मीन (Meena =Pisces) come under this group.
So first
15deg. of the राशी(Rashi =Sign) come under Odd number
group is ruled by Sun & next 15deg. is ruled by Moon. Planets occupying
first 15deg. in odd राशी(Rashi =Sign) come under solar hora
and planets occupying 15deg. to 30deg. of odd राशी (Rashi
=Sign) come under lunar hora.
The
first 15deg. of the राशी come under Even number group is ruled by Moon & next 15deg.
is ruled by Sun. The planets occupying first 15deg. of even राशी(Rashi
=Sign) come under lunar hora
and planets occupying 15deg. to 30deg. of even राशी (Rashi =Sign) come under
solar hora.
Planets
in solar horas are said to occupy सिंह राशी (Leo) in hora chakra and those occupying lunar horas are said to occupy कर्क राशी (Cancer) in hora chakra. Furthermore in
hora chakra the solar hora is ruled by देवता (Devata) and lunar hora by पितर (Piter).
The
prospect of wealth is judged from this chart. The immovable property such as
land & building and movable property such as gold, silver & currency
are to be judged from this hora chakra.
Apart
of being its simplicity to construct this hora chakra has never been used for
predictive purposes. Not a single astrologer made use of this chart for
predictions.
This
hora chakra is also put to use to judge one’s actions synchronizing with his
thinking. This is very interesting. In this world we see the dualism. A coin
has two faces, a person either speaks truth or false, a cup may be filled or empty,
a cup of tea may be hot or cooled, on a particular moment there may be day or
night and the actions of a person according to his instinct may be practical or
theoretical.
Person with practical approach instinct do
important deeds, they earn wealth by the dint of hard work and become wealthy.
Their practical approach makes them dominating. They display energy that is why
they have bright appearance. They are hard workers and understand the dignity
of labor.
In astrology all malefic planets such as
Sun, Mars & Saturn denote hard work and when in any horoscope these planets
are found occupying solar hora in odd signs then that person is of very
practical approach, does important deeds, energetic, very much powerful, earns
wealth by the dint of his hard work and he gets fame too.
Person with theoretical approach
works on mental plane. They want live in comfort, they possess good qualities,
their speech is very sweet that is why, they are liked by all and they are very
creative and well understand the emotions of others.
In astrology benefic planets such
as Moon, Mercury, Jupiter & Venus denote working on mental plane and
creativity. Such benefic planets when occupy lunar hora in even sign make that
person very intelligent, intended to live in comforts, gentle, of sweet speech
and polite in behavior. Because of this he is liked by all.
This
hora chakra is also used to judge whether the person will live in his own
country or abroad:
If in rashi chart
the solar hora comes under the aspect of benefic planets the person will live
in his own country generally.
If in rashi chart
the lunar hora comes under the aspects of benefic planets then the person will
live abroad and there he will be prosperous.
If the
referred to above do not come under the benefic aspect of planets then the
above results will never apply.
For the judgment of the wealth of a person
from this hora chakra the following rules are given in Indian astrology:
If
lord of hora occupies any quadrant in rashi chart and comes under the benefic
aspects of planets the person gets pearls etc and will possess gold.
If
in such position lord of hora in rashi chart comes under the aspects of malefic
planets then the person has iron, asses & buffalos.
There
is another use of this hora chakra. It is also used to judge the effect of
aspects falling on Moon:
If
in any horoscope Moon receives aspect of a planet then the effect of the aspect
will be benefic if the aspecting planet occupies the same hora as occupied by
Moon in hora chakra.
This
hora chakra has extensive field of research and it should be used for
predictions.
