Kashinath Hora

Introduction

Points listed by my student Sanjay Prabhakaran. These are just some starting points. Details of the D2-K Hora was taught in the Himalaya Class of the course. Please listen and make notes.

• The real hora chart variation that shows wealth, as taught in the tradition of Sri Achyuta Dasa, is known as “Kashinatha Hora” chart, named after Pt. Kashinath Rath.
• This chart is based on the classification of signs into signs that are strong during the day and signs that are strong during the night.
• Sun represents day-strong signs, i.e. Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces.
• Moon represents night-strong signs, i.e. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius and Capricorn
• It may be noted that each planet owns exactly two signs owns one day-strong sign and one night-strong signs. There is a fable that says that Sun and Moon originally owned six signs each and gave away one sign each from their six signs to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Thus, Sun’s hora and Moon’s hora refer to the day-strong and night-strong signs among the two signs owned by a planet. For this purpose, Leo and Cancer form a pair, even though they are not owned by the same planet.

As an example, suppose Jupiter is at 25- 16′ in Taurus. Taurus is an even sign. The given longitude is in the second half (15 to 30) of Taurus. Thus it goes into Sun’s hora. Thus it should go into the day-strong sign owned by Venus (lord of Taurus). Thus, Jupiter is placed in Libra in Kashinatha hora chart.
As another example, suppose Mars is at 18-53′ in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is an odd sign. The given longitude is in the second half (15 to 30) of Sagittarius. Thus it goes into Moon’s hora. Thus it should go into the night-strong sign owned by Jupiter (lord of Sagittarius). Thus, Mars is placed in Sagittarius in Kashinatha hora chart.

Interpretation Guidelines

• This hora chart shows financial gains and losses. It shows wealth, which is nothing but all the resources at one’s disposal for one’s activities. The financial situation at a given point of time and various financial transactions can be seen in this chart.
• The second lord of rasi chart is the karyesha for hora chart. This placement and strength in hora chart is a key factor, even though not the sole factor, in determining one’s wealth.
• Sun, Mars and Jupiter are strong in day-strong signs. Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are strong in night-strong signs.

Houses from Lagna
The following are the basic meanings of houses from lagna:

4^th: Direction in financial activities, happiness and comfort
5^th: Earning ability

Houses from Arudha Lagna (AL)
The following are the basic meanings of houses from arudha lagna (AL):
1^st: Image/status (in money matters)
2^nd: How resourceful the native seems
3^rd: Apparent initiative and enterprise
4^th: Apparent activities (10^th) of others (7^th) and their impact on one’s finances
5^th: Apparent earning abilities
6^th: Apparent resistance to obstacles
7^th: Others (impacting one’s finances)
8^th: Resources of others and their impact on one’s finances
9^th: Protection to one’s financial status
10^th: Financial activities
11^th: Apparent financial gains
12^th: Apparent financial losses

Arudha Padas of Houses
The following are the basic meanings of arudha padas of houses:
AL: Overall image and status
A2: The wealth and possessions
A3: Enterprises and business ventures
A4: Indicators of comfort and happiness in financial matters (think of examples!)
A5: Events establishing earning abilities
A6: Service that generates money
A7: Partnerships and partners
A8: Financial risks, unexpected turns/swings
A9: Events making one look fortunate
A10: Activities related to money, career
A11: Profits, income, gains
UL: Losses, expenditure

In all the cases, it may be noted that the houses from arudha lagna deal with people’s perceptions about various aspects of a native’s finances, whereas arudha padas of houses directly show real things or events related to a native’s finances.
For example, UL (upapada or the arudha pada of the 12^th house) shows an amount that was lost or spent or given away. It shows a real expenditure. On the other hand, the 12^th house from AL shows a perceived loss.
If a planet is in the 12^th house from AL, it may give events that make people think that the native lost money. Of course, if people think that the native lost money, he probably did lose some money.
On the other hand, if a planet is in UL, it may simply give a specific loss or expense. If the same planet is in the 5^th house from AL, the specific and real loss/expense may make the native seem very capable financially. In such a case, the expense shown by the planet in UL may be wise investment that makes the native look smart and capable.
By examining the houses from lagna and arudha lagna, by examining the arudha padas of various houses and by finding links between all these factors, one can make good predictions on the finances of a native.
