Stationary Transit Principle: Planet Stationary=Stops+Acts(3-4° Orb Only); JHora Mundane Tab=Stationary Transit Mode; Nimitta Dog=Saturn. the native(Aquarius 1989) Coma: Jupiter-Rahu Dasha=Jupiter(2L Maraka)+BUT Rahu(1L in Lagna=Not a Maraka); HOWEVER Gochara: Jupiter(8H from Moon)+Rahu(Debil in 2H=Maraka Sthana)=Long Suffering; Relief: Jupiter Moves to 9H From Moon(~June 2013)

Stationary Transit Principle

The teacher recalls a principle taught long before and applies it to the coma case of Part 2.

The rule: when a planet is stationary it can trigger a major event if it conjoins or aspects a sensitive natal position. His examples are from D-10:

• Saturn or Jupiter stationary very close to the 9th lord of D-10 → a fortunate development in career.
• Stationary very close to the 8th lord of D-10 → a setback in career.

What "stationary" means: for a few weeks before retrogression ends and a few weeks after, the planet slows, stops, and slowly picks up speed again. For that whole stretch it sits at almost the same longitude. This matters most for the slow planets, Jupiter and Saturn.

"It's not like you are going in a car and you are seeing something — you don't really act on it. You are just observing and moving on. Suppose you are still and you see something, you can act on it."

• A planet that is still can focus on what it sees. If it aspects or conjoins a natal position during such a transit, it gives the results of that point — it triggers it.

Orb: a couple of degrees, 3 degrees, 4 at the most. Not 8 or 10.

"When I say close aspect, I don't mean like 10 degrees or 8 degrees. It's a couple of degrees, 3 degrees, maximum 4 degrees."

Limit of the method:

• Not every life event falls near a station, so not every event can be predicted this way.
• But when a station closely aspects or conjoins an important natal point, expect an important event relating to that point. He calls it one of the most reliable principles.
• Check the natal rāśi chart and the divisional chart of the matter (D-10 for career, D-30 for illness).

Finding a Station in the Software

1. Make a chart for the present moment (he uses the praśna chart).
2. Go to the Mundane tab.
3. Under the Stationary Transit Mode button pick the planet (Saturn or Jupiter).
4. Pick Before for the last station before the chart date, After for the next one.
5. It gives the date and the longitude of the station.

• He keeps track of when Jupiter and Saturn become stationary, so he already knew Saturn had been stationary in June.

Nimitta — the Dog

• The class sits in a closed room where nature normally gives no signs.
• After reading D-30 he was thinking of looking at special gocharas — planetary conjunctions, stationary transits. Just then a dog cried outside.
• Dogs are shown by Saturn. He took it as a nimitta: the problem is with Saturn, look at Saturn.
• He knew Saturn had become stationary in June, and the native had been in coma 60+ days — since about mid-June. So he looked for an important natal longitude close to Saturn's station.

The Question and the Rāśi Chart

• A student brought the chart. The native had been in coma for 60+ days. The student had read Vimshottari daśā, found it gloomy, saw no immediate recovery, and told the family nothing before checking in class.
• Question: is there hope, and what remedies can be suggested?
• The teacher starts with the rāśi chart alone. An event this large has to show there.
• The year is 1989. Later in the recording the year is heard as "1999"; the chart discussed in class (Rāhu in an Aquarius lagna, Moon 13°40' Libra, Jupiter–Rāhu running in 2012) is the 1989 chart.

Rāśi placements (Aquarius lagna):

• Rāhu in lagna.
• Jupiter and Mars in Taurus (4th).
• Sun, Mercury, Venus in Pisces (2nd).
• Moon in Libra (9th); Saturn in Sagittarius (11th); Ketu in Leo (7th).

Vimshottari Daśā — Jupiter–Rāhu

Jupiter (daśā lord):

• 2nd lord, so a māraka, and a functional malefic for Aquarius lagna. He joins the 3rd lord Mars.
• Jupiter can potentially kill.

Rāhu (antardaśā lord):

• Co-lord of Aquarius, placed in lagna. Lagna lord in lagna is not a māraka at all. "That is the good news."
• Jupiter–Rāhu is not a good combination in general: the two are not friends.
• From the daśā lord Jupiter (Taurus) as lagna, Rāhu is the 10th lord in the 10th. That does not show death either.

Conclusion: a māraka daśā is running, but not a māraka antardaśā.

Longevity in general:

• The 7th lord Sun sits in the 2nd with the 8th lord Mercury — a weakness.
• Jupiter daśā is a killer daśā and has more than a year left. Saturn daśā follows; Saturn is co-lord of the lagna and that period looks much better.

Gochara of the Daśā Lords from Natal Moon

Gochara is always read from the natal Moon — here Libra.

• Saturn and Mars are transiting Libra, the janma rāśi, close to the Moon. The 7½ years of Saturn are running.
• Jupiter (daśā lord) is in Taurus, the 8th from Moon, with Ketu. Taurus is an inimical sign for him and also his natal sign, so he is predisposed to give bad results in this period, and the nodes are with him.
• Rāhu (antardaśā lord) is in Scorpio, the 2nd from Moon — a māraka house — and Rāhu is held to be debilitated in Scorpio.
• Transit Jupiter and transit Rāhu are in the 7th from each other. Jupiter–Rāhu samasaptaka is not good.

"Instead of just looking at the daśā and antardaśā, also look at the gochara, because daśā lord gochara, antardaśā lord gochara — those are very crucial."

What it means:

• The trouble comes from the long-term gochara of the slow planets while these daśās run. It was not brought by one transit of a fast planet such as Mars.
• Nothing miraculous is likely now. It may drag on.

When it eases:

• About mid-January 2013 Rāhu moves from Scorpio to Libra. Rāhu on the janma rāśi is not a great transit either, but it is better than the present one.
• More important: Jupiter leaves Taurus. The software gave 283 days from the class — end of May or beginning of June 2013.
• Jupiter in Gemini is in the 9th from Moon and the 5th from lagna. Toward the end of Jupiter daśā a fortunate development in health can come then.
