Longevity as per Jaimini Method (Jaimini Ayurdaya)
This is the most popular method of longevity assessment. It helps us to work out the Ayukhanda of the person with reasonable accuracy.
The lifespan of the person is considered to be of 100 years. If hundred years are divided into three sections, each section is of 33 years.
– Alpa-Ayu – 0 to 33 years
– Madhya-Ayu – 33 to 66 years
– Poorna-Ayu – 66 to 100 years
To decide the Ayu khanda of the person, three sets of factors are considered.
First Set
– Lagnesh (Lagna Lord)
– Ashtamesh (Eighth house Lord)
Second Set
– Lagna
– Moon
Third Set
– Lagna
– Hora Lagna
See which types of signs these are placed – Char (moveable) – Sthir (fixed) or Dwiswabhava (dual).
Char Rashis – Aries- Cancer- Libra- Capricorn.
Sthir Rashis – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius.
Dwiswabhava Rashis – Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces.
Alpa-Ayu
– If all the three sets are completely in Sthir Rashis then Alpa-Ayu is indicated.
– If one part of each set is in Char Rashi and the other is in Dwiswabhava Rashi then also it shows Alpa-Ayu.
Madhya Ayu
– If all the three sets are fully in Dwiswabhava Rashis, then Madhya – Ayu is indicated.
– If one part of each set is in Char and the other is in Sthir Rashi, then also it shows Madhya Ayu.
Poorna Ayu
– If all the three sets are fully in Char Rashis then Poorna Ayu is indicated.
– If one part of each set is in Dwiswabhava Rashi and the other is in Sthir Rashi, then also it shows Poorna Ayu.
Note:
– At least 2 sets must show the same Ayu to be accepted.
– If all the 3 sets show different ayus then, whatever the last set (Lagna and Hora Lagna) shows is the final.
– If Moon is in Lagna or in the seventh house accept the ayu indicated by Lagna and Moon.
Some astrologers are of the opinion that Moon and Ayushkarak Saturn should be considered instead of Moon and Lagna.
Reduction of longevity:
– If Saturn is Lagna lord or eighth lord and he is neither exalted nor in his own house and is not aspected by benefic planet then there is the reduction of 1 kakshya.
– If the eighth lord from Lagna or from Seventh house becomes Atma karaka or conjoins with Atma Karaka. then there is the reduction of one kakshya.
– When Lagna or seventh house are in Papa kartari (hemmed between two malefic) or if malefic is in trines (1-5-9) from them, there is loss of 1 kakshya.
– If Atma Karaka is malefic, and is debilitated or conjoined with malefic, there is a loss of 1 kakshya.
– When the Atma Karaka or Seventh therefrom has malefic or if either of them is in Papakartari or if malefic is in trines from either of them, then there is loss of a kakshya.
Note: 1 Kakshya is one level of longevity. The three kakshya are ALPA – Madhya – Poorna-Ayu.
Addition of longevity:
– If Atma Karaka is exalted or conjoined with Jupiter there is a gain of 1 kakshya.
– When Atma Karaka or seventh from it has benefic or has benefic in Trikonas from it, there is again of a 1 kakshya.
– If Lagna or seventh house is in Shubha kartari or has benefic in trines from it, there is a gain of 1 kakshya.
– If Atma karaka. is a benefic planet, and is exalted or is conjoined with benefic, there is a gain of 1 kakshya.
Important Note: Atma Karaka in Jaimini astrology is the planet that is placed at the highest degree in any Rashi (sign).
Hora Lagna: Again, from sunrise till the time of birth, Hora Lagna repeats itself every 2 1/2 ghatis (i. e. 60 minutes). Divide the time passed up to birth from sunrise by 2 1/2, and add the quotient in rashis, degrees, to the longitude of Surya as at sunrise. This will yield the Hora Lagna in Rashi, degrees, etc.
