Mirror of Auspicious Moments

21

In the opinion of some, the strength of the day and other factors is paramount, especially when there is a risk of significant harm. || 5 || The natural strength of the Panchanga the five limbs of the Hindu calendar: tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, and karana is as follows: a lunar day Tithi is strong when it is full, and even stronger when it is at its peak; if both types are present, they are considered equal in sight. || 6 || The strength of the weekday Vara is also judged by its associations; it is declared to be twice as powerful when in a specific conjunction. || 7 ||

Some say the influence of the Ascendant Lagna the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon is equal to the Panchanga, while others say it is twice as influential. Even when all six limbs the five calendar limbs plus the ascendant are powerful, the sages declare that the planets are the most powerful of all, a point that is beyond dispute. || 8 ||

Sages have declared that the primary strength lies in the planets; if they are well-placed, the mind remains clear and favorable. Therefore, one should perform tasks when auspicious combinations yogas arise from the qualities of the zodiac signs. || 9 ||

Let the great sages speak as they wish; this hierarchy of influence is indeed logical. Among the six limbs, a powerful weekday is considered equal to a planet or the strength of the astrological house itself. || 10 ||

Regarding inauspicious combinations, such as those occurring on Saturday or Tuesday, or on the eighth day of the waning moon original: "shitashtami", some say a marriage Vivaha may still be performed if Jupiter Guru is in the Ascendant of Capricorn original: "mriga-vilagna", due to the overwhelming power of the planets. || 11 ||

Even if the lunar days and other factors are only mediocre, or if the Ascendant is weak and lacks "human strength," a marriage may occasionally take place by the power of the constellation Nakshatra.

No harm shall come if the Ascendant is joined by the Moon; even if some might suggest avoiding it, the strength of the star Tara-bala the strength derived from the birth star makes the mind clear and favorable everywhere. || 12 ||

Just as a powerful quality can destroy a minor defect in the lunar day or weekday, the strength of the constellation is famously effective. || 13 ||

The strength of the constellation that I have described is for use in selecting auspicious moments Muhurtas. In this way, one must also consider the strength of the zodiac signs and planetary positions. The sign is considered more powerful than the Panchanga, and the planets are even more powerful than the signs. || 14 ||

In the combination of the Ascendant, certain prohibitions apply, but combinations arising from the weekday are considered very strong. The strength of a weekday combination is even greater than the combination of a lunar day and a weekday. || 15 ||

Among combinations, Saturday and the eighth lunar day are considered strong by the experts. A combination of a full moon with the Rohini constellation is said to be even more powerful. Wise men prioritize these combinations over others. Mars Bhauma associated with Tuesday is generally considered weak in all circumstances. This is the general rule of progression. || 16 ||
