Effects of Non-luminous Grahas and Dṛṣṭis
The Jyotish course continues with Chapters 25 and 26 of Bṛhad Parāśara Horā Śāstra. Vedic Astrology recognizes several non-luminous planets that nevertheless can profoundly affect our lives. And instead of aspects, since planets are considered to be persons (devas or demigods), they can see (dṛṣṭi) one another. This seeing of the planets carries important influences that affect the interpretation of the chart.

Special Consideration of Dṛṣṭis

BPHS Chapter 26 Slokas 6-12

6-8. Evaluation of the Dṛṣṭis of the Graha: Deduct the longitude of the Graha (or Bhava), that receives a Dṛṣṭi, from that of the Graha, which gives the Dṛṣṭi. If the sum exceeds six Rāśis, deduct the sum again from 10 Rāśis. Convert the latter sum into degrees and divide by two. The resultant product is Dṛṣṭi Kona (or aspectual angle). If the difference is in excess of 5 Rāśis, ignore the Rāśis and multiply the degrees etc. by 2, which is the value of the Dṛṣṭi.
