The Combustion of Jupiter and Venus

 

    Planets  when  they go very near the Sun becomes combust. Moon 
    when near the Sun by 12 degrees Mars within 17 degrees Mercury
    within 13 degrees Jupiter within 11 degrees Venus within 9 deg-
    rees & Saturn within 15 degrees.

A combust planet loses his virility as he becomes proximate to the Sun. Combust planets are considered malefic.

 

The mutual aspects of Jupiter and Venus

 

Jupiter is the preceptor of the celestials and Venus is the preceptor of the demons. Both are antithetical.Hence their mutual aspects ( if they are 1/7 or Sama Saptama ) are considered negative.

 

The Visibility of Jupiter and Venus

Take 6 Nadis after Sunrise ( 6*24 minutes ) and 6 Nadis before Sunset ( 6*24 minutes). If Jove and Venus are seen in between, that day becomes inauspicious.

 

The Intercalary Months or Adhi Masas

 

It was observed that 228 solar months equals 235 lunar months. This is known as the Metonic Cycle, occuring in 19 years.

235-228 = 7 lunar months and these 7 months came to be known as Intercalary Months or Adhi Masas.

 

Ahamspathi

 

This is a lunar month when there are two  Solar Ingresses  or Soorya Sankrama.

 

Samsarpa

This is a lunar month when there is no Solar Ingress or Soorya Sankrama.

 

Adhi Masa

 

This is a lunar month when there is no Solar Ingress prior to Ahamspathi.
