Nakshatra Drishti

|| Om Gurave Namah ||
Dear Jyotishas,
Today was thinking about the drishti's arising due to nakshatra, So thought will just write
a few note on it.
We have two types of dristi's arising on Rashi level namely,
1. Graha Drishti on Rashi. All grahas' (except Ketu) aspect the seventh rashi from
their position. The higher grahas' Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu have additional
special aspects namely, 4 and 8; 5 and 9; 3 and 10 ; 5,9 and 12 (in reverse for
Rahu).
2. Rashi Dristhi. Fixed signs aspect movable and movable signs aspect fixed. The
dual signs aspect each other. No sign can aspect the adjacent sign. Draw the
zodiac in square form draw horizonal and diagnal lines from each rashi to
remember it.
In Jyotish, we always have two (hora) basic level identifications, One lunar and the other
solar. Since the above is solar aspects, we also should have lunar aspects similar to the
above. The Solar division is rashi and lunar division is nakshatra.
So we have two types of Drishti on nakshatra level.
1. Graha drishti on Nakshatra : All Graha's aspect the 15th nakshatra from their
position. The additional drishti is as,
