The 1/2 Portion = Second Divisional [Harmonic] Chart

"fruits of the treasury"

However, if accurate birth time is not available, divisional charts are misleading, and should be ignored.

BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 5-6. Rashi and Hora The Rashi owned by a Graha, is called its Kshetra. The first half of an odd Rashi is the Hora, ruled by Surya. While the second half is the Hora of Chandra. The reverse is true in the case of an even Rashi Half of a Rashi is called Hora. These are totally 24, counted from Mesha and repeated twice (at the rate of 12) in the whole of the zodiac.

From: David Frawley. Astrology of the Seers The Hora chart is simple as it is the most basic of the harmonic charts. The first 1/2 of odd signs like Aries is ruled by the Sun, the second 1/2 by the Moon. Conversely, the first 1/2 of even signs, like Taurus, is ruled by the Moon; the second 1/2, by the Sun. For example, if Mars is located in 20° Virgo, as it is in the second half of an even sign, it would be in the Hora of the Sun. Hence, the Hora chart only gives solar or lunar status of planets and does not place them in signs like the other harmonic charts.

D-2

Field of Psychic Expectation for Matters of

• moveable wealth such as cattle and "currency" = the coin of the realm = the type of Wealth that is not fixed to a place.

• the fruits (11) of the treasury of knowledge (2) and gains (11) from the family history(2)

Wealth in the form of owned properties that are fixed to a place = Chaturamsha = D-4.

• wealth in the special form of 'moving shelters' = vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, airplanes, ships, rail-cars, ox-carts, bicycle rickshaw = Shodashamsha = D-16.

Predictions that can be partially confirmed via analysis of Hora:

1. Hora indicates liquid assets such as cash money, moveable feasts , moveable collections of art, music, food, wine, or other valuables, and the knowledge-treasury that moves with its knower. Hora does not indicate wealth multiplied (11) by the material value of lands or buildings but it can indicate the moveable value of livestock and modes of transportation in a general way. However for matters of vehicles the D-16 is more precise.

2. As a very general principle, the two parts of the Hora display the distribution of Spiritual Confidence ( Surya = creativity) vs. Emotional Conservation (Chandra = nurturing). Both are necessary in life: ideally in balanced proportions.

   • Both Surya and Chandra can produce wealth.

   • Surya is in general more favorable for moveable wealth in the forms that can be developed via Intelligence, which often involves creating or inventing something new.

     It is considered auspicious for the production of moveable wealth when the warm, productive (masculine) graha, friends of Surya, occupy the hora of Surya.

     • When located in the Hora portion of Surya, graha which signify creative power to generate new wealth include Mangala (innovation), Guru (wisdom and education) and Surya (confidence, divine intelligence, games).

     • Rahu, who disregards conventional boundaries, may prosper in Surya's portion where self-centered action is supported.

   • Chandra is more favorable for fixed wealth in the forms that can be developed via parenting, which often involves protecting or conserving something that already exists (such as lands, shelters, cultural roots etc.)

   • It is considered auspicious for the production of moveable wealth when cool, receptive (feminine) graha, friends of Chandra, occupy the hora of Chandra.

     • When located in the hora portion of Chandra, graha which signify protective power to conserve existing wealth include Shani (respect for law and hard work), Shukra (appreciation of beauty and attraction to pleasures) and Chandra (patience, nurturing, following natural cycles).

     • Ketu, who neither contributes nor interferes, may prosper in Chandra's portion where wealth via utilization of existing resources is better rewarded.

Other important assessments regarding material wealth:

1. To determine the prognosis for Gain of Wealth in the marketplace (via salary, bonus, dividends, rents, royalties, returns on investment) look first to conditions of labha bhava .

2. The angle of commerce = 3/11.

   1. 3 = communications empowerment; 11 = marketplace network

   • The house which defines oneand#39;s total gain sits in 3/11 angle to the income-house: it is dhana bhava, the 2nd house of food-wealth.

3. Examine dhana bhava in the radix. Will the radix 2nd house generate the community support (11) and personal courage (3) necessary to realize its goals?

4. Wealth Outcome depends on the relationship between the 3/11 houses, their rulers and their occupants.
