Gulika placement in a horoscope is important for predictions or not & if yes, then why?

Question

like other planets in a horoscope of a birth chart, in south indian astrology specially analysis Gulika, i don't understand the reason. have anyone answer , and tell me what effects given placement in different houses.

Answer 1

IT is not just in south india it is used in astrology all over india by well read astrologers.

IT is more in south india because when the muslims invaded india they used to massacre people in north india as they came through here.

Aurangzeb used the ancient indian texts as fuel to heat water for himself. This lead to most astrologers fleeing north and going towards south with their texts.

IT is not only gulik but dhoom, praanpad, vyatipat, upketu, chap, parivesh,dhwaj  that are used in calculations.

Now these are not planets but positions in the imaginary arc around the earth.

The placement of planets and the resulting addition and multiplication of arc measurements lead to the sensitive points in this imaginary circle.

These points are calculated by adding arc degrees to the arc measurement of sun. These give the sensitive points in the circle.

Besides this there are other points which are arrived by using addition of arc measurement of lords to houses.

These points are important because the transit of a benefic planet and /or a melfic planet causes ups and downs in life.

That is why these upgrehas are used.

maharishi parashar has given details on calculation of these upgrehas in the greatest work on astrology , the 'brihad parashar hora shastra'.

i can copy that from the book but sanskrit will be not easy for you to understand.
