Alright, let’s talk about this… what’s it called? Aspects in Jaimini astrology, yeah, that’s it. Sounds fancy, but it ain’t that hard to understand, not when you break it down like I do with my chickens.
First off, this Jaimini astrology, it’s old, real old, like my grandma’s stories old. They say some fella named Jaimini figured it all out, wrote it down in some old books. Now, in this kind of star-reading, they got these things called karakas. Seven of ’em, they say. Sounds like a bunch of crows cawking to me, but they got names like Atma Karaka, Amatya Karaka, and a whole bunch more I can’t even pronounce right. Each one’s supposed to mean somethin’ different, like your soul, your job, your brothers and sisters, all that.

Now, the big thing in Jaimini astrology is these aspects. Regular astrology, they look at how planets talk to each other, you know, like how my hens gossip all day long. But Jaimini, it’s different. It’s about the signs, you know, like Aries, Taurus, that whole bunch. They got their own way of lookin’ at each other.
- Think of it like this: you got your cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. They look at each other in a special way. They kinda gang up, you see. It’s like when the young’uns in the village get together, they all have eyes on each other.
- Then you got your fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. They stubborn, them fixed signs, set in their ways. They look at other signs too, but in their own fixed way, kinda like how my old mule only sees the path he wants to see.
- And lastly, you got your dual signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. They’re all over the place, these dual signs, always changin’ their minds. They look at each other, too, kinda wishy-washy like, never quite settlin’ down.
So, how does this aspect thing work? Well, it ain’t like lookin’ across the road at your neighbor. It’s more… complicated. They say the cardinal signs, they look at the eighth sign from them. Don’t ask me why the eighth, maybe they counted on their fingers and that’s where they landed. The fixed signs, they look at three cardinal signs, except for the one right behind them. Like, they skip the one that just passed, you see? And the dual signs, they just look at other dual signs. They’re like birds of a feather, flockin’ together.
Now, they talk about Chara Dasha too. That’s somethin’ about timing, like when the rooster crows and you know it’s time to get up. Each sign gets its turn to rule, and that’s supposed to tell you when things are gonna happen. Good things, bad things, the usual mix, like life on the farm.
So, what’s it all mean, this Jaimini astrology stuff? Well, it’s another way of lookin’ at the stars, tryin’ to make sense of things. Like tryin’ to figure out why the well dried up last summer, or why the corn grew taller on one side of the field than the other. Maybe the stars got somethin’ to do with it, maybe they don’t. But it gives folks somethin’ to think about, somethin’ to hold onto when things get tough.
Jaimini aspects, karaka planets, karakamsa lagna, bhava arudham…all these fancy words, but it all boils down to tryin’ to understand life, ain’t it? Just like plantin’ seeds and hopin’ for a good harvest, we look at the stars and hope for a good life. Simple as that.
So, next time you look up at the sky, remember them signs and aspects. Maybe they ain’t just twinklin’ lights up there. Maybe they got somethin’ to say, if you know how to listen. And even if you don’t, well, it’s still a pretty sight, ain’t it?

And that’s about all I can tell ya ’bout this Jaimini astrology. It ain’t rocket science, just a different way of lookin’ at things. Like I always say, there’s more than one way to skin a cat, or read the stars, for that matter.
