Jagannāth Drekkāṇa

Definition

The three drekkāṇa of a sign are its trines with the first in a movable sign, second in a fixed sign and third in a dual sign. This is exactly like the Parāśara drekkāṇa but differs in that the first is always in a movable sign in trines. Drekkāṇa for karma Phala is not actually Parāśara but instead it is from Phaladīpikā or Mantreśvara. This is based on the 10 degree concept of drekkāṇa size as indicative of some results of 10th house. All varga’s have to do with past karma which causes the planets to occupy such specific positions that actually match all karma (prārabdha) of past incarnations.

It finds specific mention in the Chandrakalā nāḍi where the drekkāṇa is defined as राशित्रिभागो द्रेक्काणं (rāśitribhāgo drekkāṇaṁ) in śloka 5751 indicating that the rāśi divided into three parts of 10° each is a drekkāṇa and that every rāśi will have three drekkāṇa.

पुत्रधर्म स्वपाज्ञेया द्रेक्काणं विन्येसेत् क्रमात्॥५७५२
care svaputranavapāḥ sthire dharmasvaputrapāḥ।
putradharma svapājñeyā drekkāṇaṁ vinyeset kramāt ॥ C.K.Nadi 5752

– to protect (a country, or rāśi) i.e. rule , govern; keeping, protecting, guarding; chara – movable (sign); sva – self, same sign, 1st house; putra – son, 5th house; nava – 9th (house/sign); sthira – fixed (sign); dharma – 9th sign
Translation: For movable signs (chara) the three drekkāṇa are ruled by the lords (pā) of the 1st (sva) [chara], 5th (putra) [sthira] and 9th (nava) [dvisvabhāva] whereas for fixed signs (sthira) the lords of the 9th (dharma) [chara], 1st (sva) [sthira] and 5th [dvisvabhāva] are the rulers. For dual signs, know that the lords of the 5th (putra) [chara], 9th (dharma) [sthira] and 1st (sva) [dvisvabhāva] are the rulers of the drekkāṇa, in that order.

Soul Previous Abode

The soul is seen in the eyes of the native

,
and we know that the two eyes are ruled by the Sun and Moon as the primary lords of the horā. Parāśara has taught that the Sun represents the soul in all creatures. Therefore the original abode of the soul from where it has travelled to this planet is known from the. The moon can represent an intermediate abode between the two worlds that the soul resided in temporarily before coming to planet earth. The only way to determine this is to find the stronger between the Sun and Moon in the birth chart. If Moon is stronger then, the soul did reside in an intermediate abode before incarnating on earth and the Moon shows this previous abode. If instead the Sun is stronger than the Moon, then from its position we know the previous abode of the soul.
