I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension.

And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it."

~~George Burns

1878, La Route -- painted by Claude Monet

Effects of the eighth from kārakāmsha .

" If a benefic, or the Graha, owning the eighth from kārakāmsha , happens to be in the eighth from Karakamsh a, the native will be long-lived,

• while a malefic, placed in the eighth from kārakāmsha , will reduce the life span.

Drishti/Yuti of both benefics and malefics will yield a medium span of life."

These general observations have exceptions. The randhresha must be examined for final conclusion.

8th-from angle indicates the speed and agility of one's identity-initiation process. A quick learner may accomplish the identity-learning goals on a faster timetable than one who has chosen to linger and repeat the homework t hat reveals the previous gems of knowledge that reside within this learning pathway [Shani].

Shani occupies 8 = exceptional fleshbody longevity

Mangala or Rahu occupies 8 = extends fleshbody habitation, generally

Shani drishti into randhrasthāna-8 = increases longevity

Mangala drishti or Rahu drishti into randhrasthāna-8 = increases longevity

Shani occupies 8 AND Mangala drishti into 8 = very long lived

Shani occupies 8 AND Rahu drishti into 8 = very long lived

Any combination of influences of Shani-Rahu-Mangala affecting radical bhava-8 have the effect of placing the person's longevity count on the long side of the actuarial bell curve

bhava-8 and randhresha-8 indicate longevity .

bhava-8 and randhresha-8 indicate the circumstances of death , but not the timing of death.

Timing of dematerialization is known by the Vimshottari Dasha periods of dhanapati-2 and yuvati-pati-7

Lagna (" line" ) can be the lagna for any person, e.g.,

• lagna for younger sibling = bhava-3

• lagna for mother = house containing Chandra

• lagna for oneself is Generally, the rashi lagna of D-1

A few longevity rules:

• if randhresha-8 is weak , longevity is harmed; if randhresha-8 is strong , longevity is helped

• randhresha-8 in bhava-8 gives exceptional longevity

• Shani = the karaka for persistence and old age; in randhra bhava, shani gives long life

• benefics in bhava-8 do not improve longevity unless randhresha-8 is strong

• However, benefics in bhava-8 do signify pleasant conditions for death

• if randhresha-8 or bhava-8 receives uncomfortable aspects, longevity is harmed

• if randhresha-8 or bhava-8 receives favorable aspects, longevity is helped

QUOTATION

Prasna Marga Part-2. New Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass. p. 283.

Six types of Yoga-ayu

1. longevity less than one solar year
2. longevity less than 12 solar years
3. longevity less than 32 solar years
4. longevity less than 70 solar years
5. longevity less than 100 solar years
6. longevity MORE than 100 solar years * Amrita-ayu (immortality class)

Madhya Ayu 36-72 years

Purana Ayu 72 -108 years

According to BPHS Ch-19 Atha-ayurbhava , longevity profiles are patterned:

Very long lifespan

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-14

• lagnesha occupies [uchcha] amsha
• Chandra occupies vriddhi-bhava
• Brihaspati occupies ayurbhava

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-15

• lagnesha in great strength (ati bali = ultimate weight)
• lagnesha receives drishti from sukragraha which are occupying kendra

Long lifespan indicators

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-1

• randhresha NOT in kendra

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-4

• ari-pati occupies bhava-6
• ari-pati occupies bhava-12
• vyaya-apathi occupies bhava-12
• ari-pati PLUS vyaya-pati occupy radical lagna
• ari-pati PLUS vyaya-pati occupy ayurbhava

BPHS sarga 19 shloka 5

• lagnesha PLUS randhresha PLUS vidya-pati ALL occupy svakshetra
• lagnesha PLUS randhresha PLUS vidya-pati ALL occupy swa-navamsha
• lagnesha PLUS randhresha PLUS vidya-pati ALL occupy the rashi of a mitragraha

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-6

• lagnesha PLUS randhresha PLUS karmesha PLUS Shanaicarya aLL occupy a kendra
• lagnesha PLUS randhresha PLUS karmesha PLUS Shanaicarya aLL occupy a kona (trine, corner, cone)
• lagnesha PLUS randhresha PLUS karmesha PLUS Shanaicarya aLL occupy vriddhi-bhava

(BPL: some of these combinations produce the famously protective Viparita Rajayoga = Harsha Yoga, [Sarala Yoga] , [Vimala Yoga])

Medium lifespan (using medieval norms) between madhya-ayu (middle, 20 years) and yoga-ayu (sufficient, 32 years) is expected when these combinations appear:

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-8

• randhresha occupies a Kendra
• lagnesha lacks strength (balavarjate)

Short lifespan indicators

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-2

• lagnesha occupies bhava-8
• randhresha joins papagraha

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-10

• randhresha occupies its nīcha-amsha (randhreshe nichha-rashisthe)
• papagraha in randhrasthāna [BPL However, shani, Kuja, or Rahu-Ketu in 8 are life-extenders]
• lagnesha is weak (Lagneshe durbale jantuhu = weak, poorly born)

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-13 ** within one month after fleshbirth

• randhresha occupies randhra-sthāna
• Chandra yuti papagraha while Chandra receive no benefic drishti

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-11 ** BHPS predicts that dematerialization may occur immediately after fleshbirth (mritihi bhavet) if the following pattern is present:

randhreshe papasanyukte randhre papagrahaihi yute

vyaye krooragrahakrante jatamatram mritihi bhavet

• randhresha yuti papagraha
• papagraha in randhrasthāna
• papagraha in vyaya-sthāna

BPHS sarga 19 Shloka-12

Similarly, bHPS predicts that the dematerialization-event may occur immediately after fleshbirth -- if the following pattern is present:

kendratrikonagaha papaha shubaha shashta ashtaga yadi

lagne nichhastha randhreshaha jatah sadhyo mrito bhavet

• papagraha in kendra (angles) or kona (trine)

• sukhagraha in ari-bhava

• sukhagraha in randhrasthāna

• randhresha = nīcha-amsha occupying indriya-lagna

Some Traditional Considerations of longevity in Jyotishavidya

Longevity = duration of the attention-fixation into the social-material plane before returning the core attention into the astral plane = death

Life is eternal. Human consciousness is eternal. Death and Birth are status-changes of perceptual modality.

Some leading traditional indicators of longevity

• randhra-bhava-8 ++ its planetary ruler

• graha residing in randhrasthāna

• Parashari drishti into randhrasthāna

• 8th-from-8th = sahaja-bhava-3 ++ its lord

• 8th-from-Chandra

• marana-karaka (maraka) empowerments of the current bhukti of the Vimshottari Dasha calendar, combined with chronological age and other actuarial demographics

• ruler of the 22nd drekkana = Khara drekkana = ruler of the 8th dreshkamsha D-3 = the Kharesha

• Ruler of the eighty-eighth dvadamsha (among other things, this item is a check for distinguishing whether a severe illness is likely fatal or likely chronic)

• 8th-from- kārakāmsha

Randhra = bhava-8 = aperture

Randhra bhava indicates the present-life micro-slice of the soul's endless cycle of destruction of the Form and rebirth into a new Form.

• Fleshdeath is succeeded by rebirth. There is no inherent requirement to be reborn within the Earthly environment. However, there are often reasons of mastery of the Earth curriculum which attract students into Earth again and again.

• Human reality is apprehended through a fundamentally dualistic filter. Every element of human life and consciousness has an opposite. Everything.

• All kingdoms of consciousness, whether mineral, plant, animal, or human, having assumed one form will eventually assume the opposite form, then swing back again until mastery of the polarity has been achieved.

In samsara, the final physical death results in a final spiritual rebirth. Beings who have achieved samsara are nevertheless subject to larger-scale universal cycles of re-death and re-birth. Those who have become free of rebirth are nevertheless beholden to bigger laws.

The end of a samsaric cycle Generally, indicates the end of a level of bondage to restrictive educational circumstances. Yet, the end of a samsaric cycle does not mean the end of incarnating within Earth-bubble, or within the Galaxy, or within the Universe, or within any of the Universes.

The end of a samsaric cycle involves a graduation ceremony and an entitlement to reincarnate at a persistently higher level of consciousness. Those who have committed eons ago to the Earth Project may continue to reincarnate within Terra for as long as it takes to bring Earth to full ascension status and then start the missionizing for the next phase of outreach to the next generation of ascending planets.

Each emergence of the universe = one breath of Brahma, the Breather. Breath in = universe dies. Breath out = universe born. Like that. Forever.

Jyotisha says

• For maximum longevity in the present fleshly form+ randhresha-8 should have endurance .

• lagnesha should also have strength.

• [Shani] elongates the lifespan. Mangala truncates the life span.

• bhratru-pati-3 (8th-from-8th) in 8 speeds up the transformative processes, increases the energy available to abandon old identities and take on new ones. bhratru-pati-3 in 8 increases magical powers but reduces the lifespan.

When residing in 8th-from-8th, randhra-pati [uchcha] Guru gains great power to swiftly turn the wheel of birth and death thus enforcing a rapid identity change often requiring a new body.

The unique chidra-dasha period of Shani-Guru may signify incarnation-end even when neither of the traditional maraka dhanapati-2 Budha or yuvati-pati-7 Mangala are active.

In this unique configuration, there need be no short-life graha in 8 (Surya, chandra, budha) to reduce the longevity. Vriddhi-pati-11 Guru in bhava-3 typically provides abundant elder siblings and gain fr om hand-craft such as smithy, writing, sewing, weaving, drawing, or painting. However

[bhava-8] = Randhra Bhava and Mangala

Randhra = " aperture" . The psychic body contains numerous permeable apertures, openings, which functions as ports through which psychic instructions, memories, and information can travel in and out.

Scripted information regarding entry and exit from the physical form is controlled by Mangala. Kuja = natural regulator of bhava-1 = initial physical birth and Kuja = lord of bhava-8 which indicates the numerous psychological and physical regenerations which occur during a single lifetime.

Kuja = testosterone-driven, sporting, warlike and dynamic. Angaraka would generally prefer to have all incarnations imitate the charismatically self-destructive 1950's film actor James Dean, whose motto was "live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse" .

Luckily, mangala has some powerful adversaries in every nativity, most notably"Shani the Yang-Energy Blocker" .

Mangala the natural regulator of 8 wants always ready to initiate a rejuvenating cycle of death-and-rebirth. Whoever blocks Mangala, blocks rebirth = sustains the present life.

Shani-8 the Ultimate Mangala Blocker gives a loooong life -- often much longer than physically comfortable. Shani-8 may feel"left behind"after one's age group has largely passed over. As the frail, old great-grandfather wondered in the movie"Grumpy Old Men" :"maybe God forgot about me."

• Exception: Shani in 8 mutual drishti of Guru = briefer longevity Shani Makara vs. Guru Karkata = a particularly short life.

Mangala-8 = life is reasonably long but circumstances of death are forceful. Perhaps via weapon, by fire or explosion, metal implement, perhaps a surgical knife or needle. Vehicular accidents when the vehicle is made of metal. Extreme sports involving forceful contact. Life is full of vital energy . Karaka for police work, military dangers.

Mangala-8 accepting drishti of Shani or Mangala in a rashi of Shani is even longer-living.

• Theory of Relativity 1879-1955 Physics Albert Einstein

The explosion can be interior or exterior. For example, an internal explosion might manifest as a brain hemorrhage or heart attack. External could be gunshot.

• Italy-Dictator 1883-1945 Fascist Benito Mussolini + [Chandra-yuti-Shani] . Gunshot.

• Autobiography of a Yogi 1893-1952 Swami Yogananda. Hemorrhage.

• Theory of Relativity 1879-1955 Physics Albert Einstein yuti Rahu Hemorrhage.

Jyotisha methodology for assessment of longevity is somewhat controversial. the best first step in making the estimation of the life span, and often the only necessary step, is to view the Life Line in the palm of the dominant hand. The dominant hand is the hand which holds a writing pen or is the stronger tool-wielding hand.

thanks for everything that you write Barbara. It's fascinating!

A:

Yes certainly, shani drishti into radical bhava-8-12-3 can indeed extend longevity, because Professor Shani's curriculum provides keys to mastery of resistance to sudden changes (8-3).

Particularly when Shani occupies 6, He may grant a deep patience (ability to wait). One succeeds by out-waiting the misbehaviors of humans. One abides in difficult environments via a tolerance for the worst crimes and evils, (Shani-6 often signaling a gifted physician.)

This enduring quality of Shani-6 is itself a life-extender. One realizes that Earthly life is rocky, harsh, and toxic with betrayals; and this acceptance neutralizes the usual exhausting resistance, anxiety, and fear which most people use to make themselves sick.

Shani-6 casting drishti into 8, 12, and 3 (8th-from-8th) is a very helpful placement for longevity.

Shani likes to freeze things; stop-action; stonewall.

However, shani's frozen drishti only affects The earthen body within the physical map.

Physical reality is seen via the rashi level measured from the Earthen-body birthing indriya-lagna .

Shani's drishti to the revolutionary, emotionally turbulent, perpetually transformative, trauma-inducing 8th-from-Chandra or 8th navamsha or 8th from randhresha are not germane to the question of physical-material forms.

Exempli gratia, Shani's drishti to the revolutionary, emotionally turbulent, perpetually transformative, trauma-inducing 8th-from-Chandra could indicate Shani-type resistance to emotional change, asort of stuck emotional response to life that blocks the flow [Chandra] of experiences and keep the native a bit more in bondage to materialistic fears when they are paddling their way down the river of life.

So yes, you're right: Shani drishti to any bhava slows, retards, delays the events of that bhava. Shani drishti can extend longevity somewhat.

One leaves behind that fleshy-nut of the dense body on schedule of the Vimshottari dasha, during a period of ruler of bhava-2 or during a period of ruler of bhava-7 * or a period of Ketu * or occasionally during a bhukti of Rahu particularly if Rahu is related to dhanapati-2 or yuvati-pati-7 .

However, with a Shani-drishti into ayur-sthāna-8, the typical prognosis of departure-from-third-density (flesh-shell)"before the half-way point" when Chandra-8 would change from "before age 60-70-ish" to"somewhat later than 60-70" . (The full human-world life span is presumed to be 120 years.)

As always, the hand-palm of the dominant hand must confirm any longevity predictions made from a Jyotisha chart. Also, be sure to read a Shani-drishti into ayur-sthāna-8 ONLY from the indriya-lagna (not from Chandra lagna, not from Svamsha , not from lagnesha lagna or randhresha lagna...).

Wishing you every happiness,

BPL Jyotisha

Surya, chandra, or Budha occupy bhava-8 or bhava-3

If sparkling Surya, candescent Chandra, or babbling Budha occupy bhava-8 without life-extending drishti from Shani, then the likely longevity is Typically, reduced. However, if these life-reducers would serve also as vyaya-pati, then there is some incremental gain of longevity.

LONGEVITY

first of all the very best and most accurate measure of longevity is not the Jyotisha chart.

• The best measure is the palm of the hand with which one writes.

• If that Life Line is short, medium, or long it will tell us the truth.

• However Jyotisha can provide a good confirmation of the reality of the Life Line.

Allocated breaths

There are four or five primary indicators of the size of the treasury of stored breaths which allocated for use during the present incarnation. The number of allowed breaths will basically determine the number of days and hours of the life span.

This is a general estimate. Some Jyotiṣika have extremely elaborate accounting methods of determining the number of breaths (tantrik scriptures contain the bookkeeping formulae .

In Jyotisha, we can look at the role of dhanapati-2 and yuvati-pati-7 from lagna, and dhanapati-2 and ruler of 7th-from-Chandra, and their relationship to bandesha-4 (the end of things); randhresha-8 (transformation and re-birth); and ruler-of-12 (dissolution of attachment, other worlds).

• dhanapati-2 from lagna

  yuvati-pati-7 from lagna

• rules [2nd-from-Chandra]

  ruler of 7th-from-Chandra

Natural Maraka Graha

• Shani, mangala and Rahu = natural maraka graha.

• Budha by nature will cause illness due to over-thinking but Kumara is not a natural maraka.

• Chandra loves family therefore by nature Soma clings to life. He can become a temporal maraka the same way that any graha may become a temporal maraka, by ruling bhava-2 or bhava-7; However, by nature Chandra clings to life.

• Ketu by nature is a separator and if Ketu becomes associated with a temporal maraka He is often the trigger agent for physical death.

• Shukra is a die-hard sensualist who craves sense pleasures and naturally He does not want to abandon the Sense Pleasure Vehicle.

Sometimes people overcome the maraka triggers and against all odds return to Earth bodies after making a decision to stay in one's body in order to protect one's family in some way.

Jyotisha can give an estimate and but this estimate should be confirmed with the palm lines. Even the palm lines can change when the native receives a new purpose in living, such as falling in love, having a child, or religious vocation discovered.

So none of the Jyotisha predictions are absolute, but they are guidelines.

Condition of Randhra-Bhava - long life or short?

Hot and brilliant Surya in randhra bhava definitely reduces the number of breaths in this lifetime However, surya also provides a quick and honorable setting for the death passage, along with a spectacular rebirth.

• Shani gives a fear and resistance toward death which extends the life. Not a happy indication but a long one.

Unless the palm lifeline is exceptionally short, folks will leave their bodies at the actuarially reasonable time in the era.

• For example in the modern age, in the first world, somewhere around 85 is the right place to look for the combination of maraka graha to become active in the Vimshottari Dasha.

Example of a reasonably long physical-life span,

likely within the actuarially normal range

for her social class, nationality, level of education, gender and other demographic actuarial markers.

UK-Queen 1926-2022 Elizabeth-2 = born in 1926, soul inhabitation of earthen-body = 95 Earthen-years

• randhresha-8 = [uchcha] Surya in bhava-4 = protective 9th-from-8th. No graha occupy bhava-8.

• ruler of 8th-from-8th bhratru-pati-3 = nīcha-bhanga Guru in Makara-lagna.

• nīcha-Budha protective Dharmesha-9 in 3.

- but is it as simple as it appears?

Q: I wanted to ask something you a question about a serious doubt thas has been mind-boggling to me.

I've been using the astrology software called Parashara's Light and I found this highlighted shloka which states the following:

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra - Chapter 45: Longevity

56 - Super-natural longevity: A person having benefics in Kendras and/or Konas, while malefics are in Sahaj, ari and Labha Bhava will obtain super-natural life span (one thousand years). Randhra Bhava, in this case, should be one of the rashis owned by a benefic.

Have you ever come across any chart with a similar configuration? Is such a lifespan like this possible? I don't think my karma account is this good.

:-) Namaste

A:

Namaste and Thanks for your note.

Firstly, the natural length of human life is 900 years. Therefore, 1000 years is super-naturally long.

Secondly, the quoted passage from BPHS = is incompletely explained because it has been compressed into shloka form for easy memorization and chanting handed down from generation to generation in a fixed meter.

The Sanskrit syllabic metric was the system for preserving knowledge memory in India during the dark ages of Kali Yuga. It required reducing most instructions to their kernel without explication or example and in some cases adding extra syllables to maintain the rhythmic meter.

The syllable rules produced some phrases which can make a growth-challenge now for translators of the old Jyotisha commentaries into the modern languages. It is a much easier getting old samskritam into a modern prakritam and moderately easier translating into related Indo-European languages like English -- but there are still a few glitches and this stanza shows one of them.

This rule repeated in BPHS likely has been compressed for purposes of packet transmission via chanting. The full rule would be something similar to:

• A person having benefics in Kendra and/or Kona, while malefics are in Sahaja, ari and Labha Bhava * * * within all 16 Parashari varga, and if free from all other restrictions, may *** obtain a super-natural life span.

There is also a very common translator's error in this particular translation of the BPHS which has to do with a peculiarity of the modal verbs that are used so commonly in the Germanic languages such as English, dutch and Icelandic.

Modals are verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker. It is quite tricky to interpret modality in language translations, especially when an ancient text from the first epoch is getting translated into a modern text for the fifth epoch.

Grammatical "mood" = the speaker's perception of the level of material certainty of a statement.

In Sanskrit, mood is indicated by various grammatical means including modal suffixes attached to the verb, but in English we have lost nearly all the inflectional precision which was once available via subjunctive, optative et-cetera moods of the verb. To express "degree of certainty" in English, we have to use the modal particles such as will, may, can, must etc.

In English, // will // means that the speaker is 99% sure regarding the outcome. For example, "Tomorrow will be Friday." The modal will indicates a likelihood that no one feels obliged to challenge or question. The expected event is commonly accepted and this outcome can be predicted with full confidence.

Lesser degrees of certainty can be expressed via // could // can // might // may // ... and other grammatical constructions.

The translator presumes that will is the correct translation into English. However, many of the original Sanskrit verbs carry the optative (choice-making) or subjunctive (speculative, imaginary) verb suffixes, and they really should be translated into English with more subtlety and less certainty.

Because the / knowledge tradition / of Jyotishavidya consists of a complex set of rules and judgments upon various combinations of those rules, and because the original vocabulary was more subtle than can be fully conveyed into English, occurrences of the auxiliary verb will in this translation, will should be updated to "may".

There are very many factors to consider when making a longevity prediction. Although the distribution of bhava-pati as counted from the indriya-lagna is indeed quite important, there are a number of deal-breakers that could invalidate the supernatural-longevity yoga. However, those deal-breakers are not mentioned in the compressed format of the shloka.

So, replace will with // may // in the yoga definition, and take it that your longevity is probably near the high end of normal; perhaps you may reside continuously in the present flesh-form until your 10th or 11th decade. The larger question is: will you have the consciousness to use the time allotted in a pre-incarnationally plannedly optimal way?

Wishing you and your family every happiness, healing from sorrow, guidance by inner light, and success in all of life's endeavors,

Barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya

14.12 Questioner: George Van Tassel built a machine in our western desert called an "Integratron." Will this machine work for that purpose, of increasing the life span?

Ra: I am Ra. The machine is incomplete and will not function for the above-mentioned purpose.

14.13 Questioner: Who gave George the information on how to build it?

Ra: I am Ra. There were two contacts which gave the entity with vibratory sound complex, George, this information. One was of the Confederation. The second was of the Orion group. The Confederation was caused to find the distortion towards non-contact due to the alteration of the vibrational mind complex patterns of the one called George. Thus, the Orion group used this instrument; however, this instrument, though confused, was a mind/body/spirit complex devoted at the heart to service to others, so the, shall we say, worst that could be done was to discredit this source.

14.14 Questioner: Would there be any value to the people of this planet now, at this time, to complete this machine?

Ra: I am Ra. The harvest is now. There is not at this time any reason to include efforts along these distortions towards longevity, but rather to encourage distortions toward seeking the heart of self, for this which resides clearly in the violet-ray energy field will determine the harvesting of each mind/body/spirit complex.

THE LIFE OF MAN

" God created the donkey

and said to him.

" You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunsei

carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,

you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."

The donkey answered:

" I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years "

God granted his wish.

God created the dog

and said to him:

" You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.

You will eat the scraps that he gives you and

you will live 30 years.

You will be a dog."

The dog answered:

" Sir, to live 30 years is too much, give me only15 years."

God granted his wish.

God created the monkey

and said to him:

" You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.

You will be amusing man and you will live 20 years."

The monkey answered:

" To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years."

God granted his wish.

Finally God created man

and said to him:

" You will be a man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.

You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals.

You will dominate the world and you will live 20years."

Man responded:

" Sir, I will

be a man but to live only 20 years is very little,

give me the 30 years that the donkey refused,

the 15 years that the dog did not want and

the 10 years the monkey refused."

God granted man's wish

And since then,

man lives 20 years as a man,

then marries and spends 30 years like a donkey,

working and carrying all the burdens on his back.

Then when his children are grown, he lives 15 years like a dog

taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him,

so that when he is old,

he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey,

going from house to house and from one son or

daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren."
