Khar – The trouble maker: The
Source of Danger and Demise
(22nd Drekkana ,64th Navamsha)
Mr. C.S. Patel in
his book “Navamsha in Astrology” has mentioned about KHAR Drekkana / Navamsha.
(Refer Pg. 38).
The 22nd Drekkana from that of the Drekkana occupied by the ascendant is called Khar.
The 64th Navamsha from that of the Navamsha occupied by the Moon is
called Khar Navamsha.
Classics such
as Phal Deepika & Jatak Parijta advises using the 22nd and 64th Navamsha
from all Bhavas for causes of danger and misfortune. Both these ominous
stations have almost similar relevance; given a chart with proneness to develop
illness.
The literal
meaning of Khar is harsh, rough, harmful, sharp edged, cruel etc. Therefore, as
described above, Khar and Kharesh are supposed to play an important role in
disease. As per sage Parashar, the
Vimshopak strength of Shadvarga is 20 Rupas; 4 Rupas has been allotted to Drekkana(D3),
stands third, followed by Rashi(D1) 6 and Navamsha(D9) 5 Rupas
respectively.
The endeavor is
to bring out the use and importance of 22nd Drekkana and 64th Navamsha in
Medical Astrology, therefore, we must know the origin of these two in their
respective Vargas .
What is Drekkana – Drekkana
(D3) – It is basically an extension of third house. And the third house
represents your Sanskars (psycho-social tendencies) (skill set/ thought
process/ communication etc.) that make our attitude come from our previous
lives. It also represents Purva Punya (7th to 9th). It is the third house that
pushes us into the world outside for doing something of our own. Desires and
dreams flourish here, it is the first among the Kaam Trikona. An Upchaya
house that allows swift growth. It is the 8th from 8th; therefore, it also
gives sudden / unexpected happenings or changes.
Unlike Sanskrit words, Drekkana is
combination of two words: DRESH + KANNA. The `DRESH' signifies the source in
Darshan, which transports apparent as well as hidden personality and nature
(Swaroopa) of the native.
·
The word 'KANNA’ means Kona- The trine.
§ So,
the calculation (based on trines) is recommended. Every sign is divided into
three equal parts of 10⁰ each.
§ The
first drekkana in every sign is from 0⁰ - 10⁰ falls
in same sign, known as Karma Drekkana and extends the body part from the head to the mouth.
§
The
second drekkana of every sign is from 10⁰ - 20⁰ falls
in 5th sign from it, known as Bhoga Drekkana and extends the body parts from neck to the naval.
§
The
third drekkana of every sign is from 20⁰ - 30⁰ falls
in 9th sign from it, known as Nasha Drekkana and extends the body parts from the pelvis to the feet.
§ Therefore, there are 36 Drekkanas of 10⁰ each in Kal Purusha, represent 36 body parts

§
As
mentioned above, the sign has been divided into three equal parts, known as
Drekkana.
§
The
counted from Aries sign, there are three cycle of drekkana in a horoscope in
cyclic order.
The Sage
Parashar stated that (Ch 7, SL 6):
§ The Devta of the First Drekkana is Narada.
§ The Devta of the Second Drekkana is Agastya.
§ The Devta of the Third Drekkana is Durvasa
There are 36 Drekkana
in all and three cycles in the chart. Find below the calculation for fixing the
Devta for individual Drekkana. These are symbolic representation of the Drekkanas.
· § The first drekkana is made up of Movable Sign and the Devta is Narada. Who is Narada, we all know the characteristics of Narada Rishi, He moves from one place to other, so the first drekkana represents Vaat.
Narada also represent the Atma, or the soul. The planets in the Drekkanas ruled by Narada would also denote the spiritual/karmic relations to the native's brothers, and may even signify the omni brothers (disciples of the same Guru). Narada was fond of travelling, also back biting
· § Similarly, the second Drekkana is made up of fixed signs and the devta is Agastya rishi. Who drank whole sea, the strong sense of determination and will to accept the challenges head-on, help others and live sedentary life style. So, the second Drekkana represents Kapha, which cannot move without the help of Vata. Therefore, second Drekkana represents primarily Kapha and secondarily Vaat.
Agastya Muni also associated with Manas, or the mind. And planets in the Drekkanas occupied by
Agastya would signify the mental/psychological effects.
Durvasa Muni was famous for his hard work to control his brain, thus, signifying the Indriyas, or senses. Representing temperamental tendencies egoistic, orthodox traditions, impatient and ability to cause great harm if angry. Thus, planets in this Drekkanas governed by Rishi Durvasa would refer to the sensual/physical comfort or discomfort caused by the brothers and sister, friends and neighbors.
In this way all
the significations become complete. So, we might also assume that the three Drekkanas of the signs may
refer to the soul, the mind and the senses of the native. Such type of explanations not mentioned
in any classics, and these are my practical observations, however, to be
confirmed with further observations.
This type of
division of the Varga gives better results particularly in Medical
Astrology than the most approved traditional method of divisions.
22nd Drekkana –It is one of the Chiddra planet and
gives malefic results. According to
BPHS, the nature of the 22nd Drekkana indicates the source/ manner of
death of the native. Otherwise, when Longevity is not conceded, according to
Prarabdh, it signifies the physical discomfort and health matters.
§ When the Lagna falls in the 1st
Drekkana, the 8th lord (of D1) would be the 22nd Drekkana Lord.
§ When the Lagna falls in the 2nd
Drekkana, the 12th lord (of D1) is the 22nd Drekkana lord.
§ When the Lagna falls in the 3rd Drekkana, the 4th lord (of D1) would be the 22nd Drekkana lord.
Sarpa Drekkana – Sarpa Drekkana can mean danger from poisonous reptiles that could be life threatening.
i.
The
2nd & 3rd of Cancer
ii.
The
1st & 2nd of Scorpio
iii.
The
3rd of Pisces.
iv. The 2nd of Taurus
Each
Drekkana consists of 4 Dwadasamsha:
·
1st
is ruled by Ganesh
·
2nd
is ruled by Ashwini Kumar
·
3rd
is ruled by Yama &
· 4th is ruled by Ahi or Serpent or Sarpa
Points further to
delineate
Nature of Native-
v Every Drekkana ranges over 10 degrees
and is further divided into 3⁰20′ each.
i.
The
First Navamsha is ruled by the Gods (Devgan)
ii.
The
Second Navamsha is ruled by Humans (Manushya gana)
iii.
The
Third Navamsha is ruled by Demons (Rakshasa gana)
v The above 3 also represent the 3 Gunas.
i.
Dev
is Sattvic.
ii.
Manushya
is Rajasic.
iii.
Rakshasa
is Tamasic.
v Khara
(& Dushan) was a ferocious warrior in the army of Ravana. He fought with
Ram (during exile). Thus, this shows our inner turmoil.
v
The placement of Kharesh from Lagna in D3
chart shows our inner fight.
v
Its placement in 6th house indicates the
struggle related to disease, debt, or enemy.
v
Drekkana lord if placed in Trik houses in
D1 with some malefic, the native would be sadistic and having suicidal
tendencies. Further to add, if malefic influence is more then in that case the
person suffers death or serious injury. However, if D3 lord is associated or
aspected by benefices, the results would get modified as per the benevolence of
planet/s.
v
A planet in its own Drekkana confers
merits.
v
If the first house of Drekkana
aspected by its lord or by benefice planets, it increases good qualities in the
native. Correspondingly, association or aspect of malefic will increase bad
tendencies.
v
If Drekkana lord is in its own sign in D3
chart and as well as in D1 chart, the native belongs to a martial family & will
be inclined to pursue such professions, however, the native will be full of
valour and courage.
v
If Drekkana lord is placed in Kendra
houses (1,4,7,10) or exalted, either in D3 or in D1, the elevation is for sure .
v If D3 lord happens to be the Sun or Mars
and posited in the 8th house in D1 chart, the native is prone to receive electric
shocks.
v
Planets having the same Drekkana
(movable) as D3 Lagna shall afflict the portion above the neck.
v
Planets in the second (fixed) Drekkana
from Lagna afflict the trunk and
v
In the third type, they afflict the
Lower portion of the body.
v Let
us presume, if the ascendant is in a movable Drekkana, and all planets in
movable Drekkana, influences the head (above the trunk and planet in common Drekkana
influence the Lower portion of the body.
v The
dispositor of a planet in D3, if aspected by that very planet in D1, it would
be termed as auspicious dasha for the dispositor.
