KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

In the previous post we have seen about the postioning and categories of  planets in the art of horoscope . As a sequence of it, in today's post we shall see an overview about how one's horoscope is defined.

All the 12 signs are mentioned in 12 different sectors. Each of this sector is named as the home of that particular sign. The 27 stars are categorized into these 12 signs. For each sector, a zodiac sign and its corresponding star will be defined. The zodiac sign corresponding to that sector is called as master of the zodiac sign.

The 12 signs and their corresponding stars are given below:

Aries - Mars - Aswini, Bharani, Krithika 1st paatham*

Taurus - Venus - Krithika 2nd, 3rd and 4th paatham, Rohini, Mirugasirisham 1st and 2nd paatham

Gemini - Mercury - Mirugasirisham 3rd and 4th part, Thiruvathirai, Punarpoosam 1st, 2nd, 3rd part

Cancer - Moon -  Punarpoosam 4th paatham, Poosam, Aayilyam

Leo - Sun - Magam, Pooram, Uthiram 1st paatham

Virgo - Mercury - Uthiram 2nd, 3rd and 4th paatham, Astham, Sithirai 1st, 2nd and 3rd paatham

Libra - Venus - Sithirai 3rd paatham, Swaathi, Visaakam 1st, 2nd, 3rd paatham

Scorpio - Mars - Visakam 4th paatham, Anusham, Kaetai

Sagittarius - Jupiter - Moolam, Pooradam, Uthiradam 1st paatham

Capricorn - Saturn - Uthiraadam 2nd, 3rd and 4th part, Thiruonam, Aavittam  1st and 2nd  paatham

Aquarius - Saturn - Aavittam 3rd, 4th paatham , Sathayam, Poorattaadhi  1st, 2nd and 3rd part

Pisces - Jupiter - Purattadhi  4th paatham, Uthirataadhi, Revathi.

In one's horoscope whichever home the lagnam represents that is to be counted as the first one. 

First we must know that the zodiac sign* and laknam are different from each other. At the time of the birth the position of the moon defines the zodiac sign.

Each one of these planets have got a unique set of features. They also maintain either friendship or enemity with the other planets. Based on it in the sign sectors the friendly homes, enemy home, governance, peak, vile homes are identified.

I hope you might have understood the fundamentals of the horoscope. In the next post we shall see the further details about them and the details of the Pulipaani jothidam 300 book.

The Siththars have putforth all their researches regarding the astrology in books for the benefit of all the people, and to wipe off the sorrows of their disciples. They have organised in such a way that  it could be predicted by the positioning of the planets in the sky and their status, positioning of the stars. 

Among such books, the rarest and special book is the "Pulipaani Jodhidam 300" written by Pulipaani. In this book he has explained so many rare things. From this one can know what will happen in present, past and future of their life.

In the sky, the planets revolve around with sun at its centre.  In the path these planets revolve, there are 27stars present. The path of these 27 stars are categorised as the 12 zodiac signs. They have categorized them into 120 features.

The moon will stay for an hour (2 1/4 naazhigai) in one sign. Based on the time of birth and the sun's position one's laknam* is identified and based on moon's postion the sign is identified.

In the practise of horoscope, the naazhigai is only put in practise. One day is eqal to 60 naazhikai, i.e., 24hours is equal to 60 naazhikai.

For each planet one day is dedicated. For ragu and kedhu no days were allocated. Based on the time span the planets travel only the days, thithi (lunar day), week, year are decided.

Further details regarding the Pulipaani's horoscope we shall see in the next post.

"பாரே பொடிக்கடல் பருவ வெயில் மேற்படல்

paarae podikkadal paruva veyil maerpadal

வாறே கொங்கையாள் மாயை மிகச்செயல்

vaarae kongaiyaal maayai migacheyal

சாயே முளுக்கறல் கண்ணால் அனல்பார்த்தால்

saayae mulukkaral kannaal analpaarththaal

சீரேறு பாஷாணம் தின்றதால் கண்நோய்

seeraeru baashaanam thinrathaal kannoay"

- திருமூலர் வைத்திய சாரம் 600 (Thirumoolar vaithiya saaram 600)

Thirumoolar says that the eye diseases are common among the people who get exposed to sunlight a lot, who have more desire for girls, who see high intensity light for a long time, who see the high temperature things closely, who consumes unrefined arsenics.

"கண்நோய் வரும் காரணம் இன்னும் கேள்

kannoay varum kaaranam innum kael

புண்ணான மேகத்தால் பருவேட்டை வாயுவால்

punnaana maegaththaal paruvaettai vaayuvaal

தன்னாம் மலக்கட்டால் தன்சலக் கட்டினால்

thannaam malakkattaal thansalak kattinaal

புண்ணாம் இரணத்தில் போடும் காரத்தாலே

punnaam iranaththil poadum kaaraththaalae"

- திருமூலர் வைத்திய சாரம் 600 (Thirumoolar vaithiya saaram 600)

Also he adds about the reasons for the eye diseases. Because of syphilis, gastric, constipation, controlling of urine, the medicines that we put for the wound all causes the eye diseases.

"காரச்சுருக்கால் கடும் ராசா தூமத்தால்

kaarachurukkaal kadum raasaa thoomaththaal

நேரொத்த சாரம் நிறை மூக்கின் வாசத்தால்

naeroththa saaram nirai mookkin vaasaththaal

பாரொத்த பேதியால் பலப்பல தண்ணீரால்

paaroththa paethiyaal palappala thanneeraal

சீரொத்த கண்ணில் பிறக்கும் வியாதியே

seeroththa kannil pirakkum viyaathiyae"

- திருமூலர் வைத்திய சாரம் 600 (Thirumoolar vaithiya saaram 600)

There are other reasons also for the eye diseases. Due to the smoke of the  mercury, smelling of the medicines like ammonium chloride, dysentry, consuming various kinds of water causes the eye diseases.

Along with this, he himself has told the medicine for it.

"இந்துப்பு திப்பிலி இயல்பீத ரோகிணி

inthuppu thippili iyalpeetha roagini

நந்திப்பூச்சாற்றில் நயந்து அரைத்திட

nanthippoochatril nayanthu araiththida

அந்தகன் கண்ணுக் கருந்ததி தோன்றிடும்

anthakan kannuk karunthathi thoanridum

நந்திக்கு நாதன் நயந்து உரைத்ததே

nandhikku naathan nayanthu uraiththathae"

- திருமூலர் வைத்திய சாரம் 600 (Thirumoolar vaithiya saaram 600)

If any eye diseases occurs, rock salt, long pepper, peetha rogini all these are to be add with the juice of East India rosebay flower and grind slowly and apply to the eyes. This cures the eye diseases. It also gives vision to the blind. This has been told to Nandhi by Lord Shiva, says Thirumoolar.
