Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn, Who Your Gods [narration of channeled Pleiadian Plejaren source]
re, Ch-3, p 23.
"There are many misconceptions about the idea of
godhood. The universes are full of intelligent beings
who have, over time, evolved and developed all sorts of
capabilities and functions to serve their needs to expres
themselves creatively. The importance behind existence
and consciousness is creativity, and creativity takes
many forms.

Eons ago, Earth was but a thought in the minds of great

beings who had set before themselves the task of
creating new forms of existence. Many of these beings
affected the creation of this universe, and you have
termed them God. In actuality, they were extraterrestria
light-bearing energies far removed from Prime Creator.
We rarely use the term God with a big G. If we were to
use that term, we would be referring to the entity we
know as Prime Creator. Prime Creator, in its own
personal implosion through love, endowed all things
with consciousness. All things are Prime Creator on
Prime Creator's journey.

We see ourselves as an extension of Prime Creator —

always gathering information, going off on adventures,
and doing whatever we need to do to make our lives
more interesting and challenging so that we can feed
Prime Creator. As we feed Prime Creator through our
schemes and our endeavors, we endow Prime Creator
with greater energy to give to new creations."

~ Wallace Stevens " It is the belief and not the god that counts."

Dharma vs. Sahaja, study vs. talking Dharma bhava contains sacred scripture, academic
tomes of history and law, reflective and contemplative
literature, great works of vision and insight. Dharma
 bhava rules the hips.

 Its position is "seated".

 Bhava-9 represents the bliss of sustained study

Sahaja Bhavain vivid contrast represents the superficial

day-to-day conversations regarding business and
scripted social relationships.

Sahaja-bhava rules the ears and the hands.

Its action is quick-moving, mercurial,

manual, manipulative, superficial.

Kama energy is naturally impatient, wants quick

answers , and is generally disinterested in sustained
study.

harmesha-9 in radix lagna vs. Lagnesha in Bhava-9: dharmapathiruler of bhava-9 located in radical lagna
= dharma or sacred teachings control the personality
integrity.

 developed personality integrity and indeed the

physical body shape are deeply informed and
shaped by sacred teachings.

In society, the native 's social ranking (placement by

society) and explicit self-identification (self-placement)
are determined mainly by affiliation with ceremonial
religion,

 religious identity would be defined via (but not

limited to) membership in a specific community
of faith, social identification with particular
sectarian distinctions, performance of liturgies,
maintenance of * worth-ship * worship
traditions, positive identification with preachers
teachers, temples, scriptures, and dogma
Nature of social-identity characteristics are judged by
particulars of the dharmesha-9 :

 E.g., if dharmesha-9 = Budha or in a rashi of

Budha, native mainly talks about their religious
affiliations, and may change identities during th
lifetime. Actions would depend on other graha.
 Exempli gratia, dharmesha-9 = Shani or in a
rashi of Shani = conservative, punitive * worth-
ship * worship tradition emphasizing human
moral law.
 E.g.+ dharmesha-9 Guru or in a rashi of Guru =
liberal, permissive * worth-ship * worship
tradition.
 dharmesha-9 = Zukra, tendency toward costume
and ritualism. In Kanya, food austerities. Etc.
 And so on.

compare to the reverse configuration:

Lagnesha in Bhava-9 = Personality controls the

religion.

Native is a born religious teacher, brings individualized

viewpoint of one's own personality into the offering of
religious and spiritual teachings; may not conform to th
dogma of organized religion.

Nature of personalized expression of religious wisdom

to be judged by characteristics of lagnesha-1 .

 if lagnesha-1 = Zukra, native expresses a

feminized experience, with sweet qualities and
tolerance for sensual indulgence. Emphasis on
relationships as the subject of dharma teachings
 If in Mithuna, celebration of communicative
media and sexual interactions as the ultimate
'conversation'.
 If lagnesha-1 = Guru, liberal and ethical type of
religious figure. Exceptionally generous.
 If lagnesha-1 = Chandra, parental style of

"Die Religion ist der Seufzer der bedrängten Kreatur,
das Gemüth einer herzlosen Welt,
wie sie der Geist geistloser Zustände ist
Sie ist das Opium des Volks."
"Q. 36
Several astrologers hold that the 10th house governs
father whereas you say in your books that The 9th
rules father .
Which is correct?
Ans.
Whatever may be the views of the several astrologers
you refer to regarding the house ruling father,
experience has clearly shown that the 9th
is pitrusthana or house of father.
This is further supported by well-known ancient writers
such as Mantreswara who observes thus [...] meaning
that Acharya (preceptor), daivata (deity), pithru (father
are the names of the 9th house.

Vaidyanatha , author of the famous Jathaka Parijatha

also corroborates this.

My grandfather the late Prof. B. Suryanarain

Rao inclines to the same view that 9th indicates father.

Apart from these authoritative views, take the

horoscopes of persons whose fathers are well off in life
and you will invariable find the 9th and its lord strongly
and beneficially disposed."
 Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan

Number 9, Number 9...." The Ninth Harmonic in Vedic lore is always something
good. The highest good of all good things is the good o
religion, wisdom, incarnation-spanning truth - real
peace, real freedom, real love.

 Thus, the ninth lord from radix, ninth lord from

Chandra, planets aspected by dharmesha-9 or
 occupying 9th-from-radix lagna and 9th-from-
Chandra, and a bhukti of the planet occupying
5/9 angle from its mahadasha pati, are all
exceptionally auspicious.
 Lord of ninth navamsha, and and navamsha
occupied by the radix 9th lord, are also favored.

The Vimshottari dasha periods of planets with a"9th"

characteristic can be expected to yield the fruits of
fortune in both material and religious terms.

Education: Bhava-9, Bhava-4, Bhava-3  "Educere = "bring out"; from 'ex'-"out" +

'ducere'"to lead"

For Jyotisha assessment of Education, it is important to

discriminate between several different experiences that
are all generally called"education".

Education which consists of transmission of practical

skills and information (Budha/3) should be
distinguished from longer-term studies that increase
reflective knowledge (Guru/9) and from institutional
programming which facilitates social-ethnic
acculturation (Chandra/4).

If the client is enquiring about prospects for"education"

it is wise to enquire whether they are seeking technical
information (skills training), social legitimation
(diploma, licensing) or philosophical communication
with the gods (belief systems, theory).

 Bhava-9 controls higher levels of philosophical

inquiry which facilitate communication between
humans and higher powers (religion). The
original concept of"university" is contained in
Bhava-9, as is the worldwide network of temple
of knowledge which is maintained by its
priesthood of gurus and professors. Bhava-9
controls scholarship and academic societies, but
 Bhava-12 is the house of research (libraries,
laboratories, and foreign"field work").
 Bhava-4 controls "schooling" for purpose
of socialization within a root culture. = the
process of obtaining cultural literacy in
language, dress, and folkways, ancient customs,
and established cultural normsthrough basic
social legitimation and technical licensing.
 Bhava-4 generally = preK-12 while Bhava-9 =
"university". However, in many societies, the
philosophers university system has been
appropriated for earth-bound technical training,
so the grade level or institution is no longer a
guarantee of quality of studies.
 Bhava-3 controls teams, workshops, media
presentations, and trainings in group-
communicative practice. Trainings are short-
term (the opposite of Bhava-9's lifetime studies)
their format is short-term and pragmatic.

Universities are increasingly utilizing an information-

based training model for provision of adult education. I
the training model, the educational goal is not reflective
wisdom or knowledge of the spiritual world. but rather
the speedy transmission of a measured package of
technical information.

Good teachers at all levels should have strength in

Bhava-3 for explaining things, writing, presentations
and communicative interaction, but the priestly level of
education in Bhava-9 may be completely silent or
conducted only through ritual.

Law courts: Bhava-9, Bhava-7, Bhava-3 Like the Jyotisha view of the topic of Education,
Jyotisha perspective upon the topic of Law distinguishe
different areas of practice.

Bhava-9 contains interpretation of the intent of the

law.

 Law as practiced in Bhava-9 is

a philosophical enterprise. In the USA, Bhava-9
contains the Supreme Court and other
historically interpretive levels of judgeship such
as federal appeals courts. The legal case has
already been well-defined in lower courts.
 In Bhava-9, a priesthood of legal scholars is
called to discover the intent of the law, and
reinterpret social codes for modern times.
 In Guru's natural house, the task of the
priesthood of legal scholars becomes definitive
historical interpretation not of the arguments
in the case -- but of the Law itself. Generally, al
acts of judgeship, even in the lower courts, fall
within the patriarchal authority of Bhava-9.
 In Bhava-9, a priesthood of legal scholars is
called to discover the intent of the law, and
reinterpret social codes for modern times. The
purpose of legal activities in Bhava-7 is not to
re-interpret the law, but to achieve a practical
working agreement between previously alienate
parties.

Bhava-7 rules the legal activities of composing and

presenting balanced arguments in a legal case. The
purpose of legal activities in Bhava-7 is not to re-
interpret the law, but to achieve a practical working
agreement between previously alienated parties.

 Bhava-7 also contains arbitrator-mediator-

facilitator-advisor roles, along with any method
of brokering agreements outside of the formal
courtroom.
 In Zukra's swabhava, the social goal is to
achieve interpersonal agreementOn the terms
of the resolution o the conflict. As 2nd-from-
6th, Bhava-7 controls "speech about conflict".

Bhava-3 contains the broad area of administrative law

that is usually called"policy". Policy law governs the

aith , Belief System, temple discourse, Religious
nstitutions, Religious Fellowship, and Religious
Teachers
internal practices of large organizations such as multi-
national corporations, educational systems, and
government bureaucracies, as well as many smaller
groups.
 There may be no official judge or formal laws
invoked in a policy case; rather, decisions are
made by committees and proceedings are not
entered in the public record.
 Despite the low profile of the"administrative"
variety of legal practice, the impact of policy
decisions made under the aegis of Bhava-3 can
be very significant for both an individual (who
may be fired or reassigned) or for an
organization (such as major funding decisions).
 Matters of Bhava-3 prosper during periods of
Budha and periods of the lord of Bhava-3.
Knowledge, understanding, religion, faith, discipleship,
religious officiants and teachers (rabbi, imam, lama,
priest, guru) religious traditions, doctrinal lineages, and
access to sacred texts are all signified by the 9th house.
If the subject involves religious culture, it is profiled in
Bhava-9.
 Acts of Divine providence, devotion to the gods
and all the expressions of regular spiritual
practice (compassion, gentleness, healing
powers), emerge in dharma bhava. However a
proud or negative planet in dharma sthana can
induce ritualism, vanity in the priesthood,
mixing religion with politics, et-cetera.
 Similar to finding out about father, above, you
can find out about the person's religious
relationships by starting in dharma bhava and
counting around. The financial wealth of the
native 's church or temple, etc., is 2nd-from-
9th or karma bhava. The guru's wife (or
 marriage-type partner) would be 7th-from-
9th = bhava-3. Profits from religion and size of
the congregant network would be 11th-from-
9th , or yuvati bhava.

Religious professionals should have important personal

planets such as Moon and lagnesha located in daivata
kshetra -- or in 9th-from-9th putra bhava -- in order to
be personally successful in their expressions of faith. A
strong 9th or 5th house is a good indicator of the
immense fortunes attending those blessed to find true
religion.

ortune Dharma bhava has "bhaga" or"fortunate" properties.

The natural fire trine, formed by Tanu Bhava, putra
bhava, and dharma bhava, contains the three auspicious
"bhagya" houses, 1, 5, and 9. Of these three, dharma
bhava is the most blessed.

Dharma bhava = 11th-from-11th, = the cream of the

crop in friendship.

Fortunate activities of dharma

sthana include association with moral
personalities(usually a philosophical, spiritual or
religious association); wisdom and purity of mind
(again, usually the result of association with advanced
souls); and benefits of intensive spiritual practice such
as insight into natural forces, clear access to intuition
using dreams and visions, and helpful communication
with the spirit world.

A deep and personal understanding of the Higher Law -

moral, metaphysical, and medical - allows the person
blessed by a strong Dharma bhava to experience life at
its fullest.
University, Professor, Scholar, Philosophy For most of recorded history, philosophical education
has been offered in the context of sacred teachings.
These days, along with the educational institutions of
the traditional religious lineages, our modern university
system also hosts concentrations of high thinkers
whose ability to understand makes them master teacher
within their own fields of endeavor.

 Dharma bhava signifies doctoral studies,

academic literature, book publishing, university
teaching, the great libraries and databanks, and
all the value-clusters of high civilization that are
passed from professor to student through the
advanced levels of philosophical secular - as
well as sacred - education.
 Strong dharma bhava signifies a natural teacher
in either sacred or secular setting. If teaching in
a secular setting such as a modern university, th
dharma bhava person will be drawn less to
technical procedure and more to the theory and
philosophy of their subject.
 Philosophy of Law, which is the highest
development of moral civilization, is especially
indicated by dharma bhava. Arbitration and
mediation which are cooperative solutions to
legal conflict, are also found in the 9th house.
However litigation, adversarial or competitive
partnerships, legal counseling, and the law
courts, are found in the partnership house, yuva
bhava.

However, the great majority of modern universities and

university teaching posts are dedicated to the mundane
and completely secular task of preparing administrative
workers for placement as obedient workers, which is
indicated by 3 being 10th-from-6th. Professors in these
typical modern posts will generally display a
prominent Sahotta bhava-3, with or without support
from dharma sthana. The third house represents
business administration, team work, and media
communications of all kinds. Ironically, the modern
professor is judged by one's mental acuity and
 communications skills -- not his/her access to wisdom.

Because modern knowledge is nothing more substantia

than organized information, the modern professor is no
naturally connected to the Dharma. However if the
native demonstrates strong capabilities in both 3rd and
9th houses, or perhaps nodes along the 3/9 axis, they
may be connected to one of the Dharma lineages -
although such a wisdom connection may be a distractio
in their daily job!

Long Journeys Dharma bhava signifies long journeys with a religious

or scholarly motive. Air travel is generally marked by
the 9th as well.

Short journeys are found in Sahaja bhava-3.

Being 3rd-from-7th , dharma bhava profiles short

journeys of the spouse. By contrast, Sahaja bhava
as 9th-from-7th would show long journeys of the
spouse.

If houses 3 and 9 are both strong in your chart, you and

your beloved will travel well and often together. If your
9th house is much stronger than your 3rd house, you
may undertake long journeys in foreign lands via 747
while the spouse tends toward day trips on puddle-
jumpers.

Belief system, religious education, father, guru,

humanism, temple discourse, priesthood, elite
associations, ultimate gainfulness, extraordinary fortune
. Moral philosophy, wisdom, understanding of the
human-divine interaction.
Places:

 temples, houses of * worth-ship * worship in all

traditions (mandir, synagogue, church, mosque,
gompa, all inclusive)
 any place which hosts a religious ceremony,
which opens communication with the Divine
 universities in their higher function as centers
for wisdom (in their social-legitimation function
= Bhava-4)
 gathering places of the sangha (sangiti, the
reciters) *faith community, religious fellowship
 monasteries in their teaching function (in their
sanctuary or meditation function, monasteries =
Bhava-12)

Father

Indications from Bhavas: Dharma Bhava and the

ninth from Surya deal with one's father.~~ BPHS Ch.
7, Shloka 39-43

Read the material conditions of the father using

both bhava-9 and pitrikaraka Suryaas father-lagna.
Typically Surya-lagna is more accurate regarding the
life situation and psychology of the father, but events
relating to the father may be predicted from either
bhava-9 or from Surya-lagna.

Emotional relationship to Father = 9th-from-

Chandra.

 Exempli gratia, father's career = 10th-from-9th

= Ari bhava. (Father's public life is always a
source of conflict for the native, public service
takes dad away from home = conflict, loss of

A strong father will be known through strong planets in

powerful position of Surya. Combine these three
significations to get a proper profile. Check role of radi
dharmesha-9 and also Surya in the dwadazamamza-

 Second child = house 7 (and 7th-from-Guru)
 Third child = house 9 (and 9th-from-Guru)
 Fourth child = house 11 (and 11th-from-Guru)

Use dharma bhava as a lagna for profile of 3rd spouse,

exactly the same steps as for profiling the father.

Third Spouse  first spouse = bhava-7 * 7th-from-Moon

 second spouse = bhava-2 * 2nd-from-Moon
  third spouse = bhava-9 * 9th-from-Moon
 fourth spouse = bhava-4 * 4th-from-Moon

Use dharma bhava as a lagna for profile of 3rd spouse,

exactly the same steps as for profiling the father.

Third spouse, if any, is indicated via Bhava-9 and its

inhabiting graha.

Third spouse has philosophical, professorial,

doctrinal qualities. The nature of graha in bhava-9 (if
any) will describe the intensity of spouse-3's
relationship to the roles of father, grandfather, priest,
professor, and preacher.

swakshetra-Guru + Mangala located in her

One's emotional relationship to the third spouse strongl

one's father (whether the third spouse is male or
female).

The third spouse is an important element in the totality

of of one's experience of humanistic philosophy, divine
guidance, global civilization, and spiritual wisdom.

Education: Third child = house 9 Dharma bhava "Hoisting up to

Heaven" vs. Bandhu bhava "Binding down to Earth"

 The indoctrination and secure-society goals of

education in Bhava-4 are at variance with the
wisdom-acquisition goals of higher religious
 training in Bhava-9.
 Educational practices of dharma bhava are not
targeted toward maintaining a stable earthly
society but rather toward maintaining
a structured set of interactions with heaven .
 Domains 4 and 9 are naturally positioned in an
adversarial shad-ashtaka 6-8 angle.

Malefic graha in Bhava-9 The "all-good" Dharma-Bhava-9 can be damaged by

papagraha, including its own natural indoctrinator,
Professor Guru . The simple benefit of occupying
Bhava-9 will not magically purge a malefic graha of its
evil character. Indeed, the greatest blessings of dharma
may be damaged by a malefic graha in Bhava-9.

sacred doctrine is a fine thing when used properly as a

vehicle for attaining enlightenment. However it is not
difficult to find examples of figures great and small wh
have misused temple
discourses or misappropriated sacred teachings in the
interest of evil.

The father is a fine parent when he guides his children

toward fulfillment of their people's highest ideals.
However it is not difficult to find examples
of unethical, abusive, or domineering fathers.

The guru is a wonderful blessing upon one's path,

guiding the native 's perceptions and directing one's
judgment toward maximum spiritual awareness. Yet it
is, sadly, a commonplace of spiritual aspiration to
experience disappointment in a guru who suffers impur
motivation, and who delays the native 's spiritual
progress through misleading advice.

The temple is a holy reliquary and sanctuary of prayer.

Unfortunately it can also serve as a house of fanatical
politics, bribery, superstition, gossip, curses, and the
 very antithesis of knowledge.

internationalized religions.
2. Ketu in dharmabhava-9 has no fixed dogma.
Wandering mendicant, a peripatetic priest.
3. Iconoclasts have Surya in dharmabhava-9. Sun
in 9th is generally very bright and confident but
with issues of self-righteousness. The person is
religious but also rational and independent-

4. Chandra in dharmabhava-9 gives devotion to
mother goddess. Love of humanity.
5. Kuja in dharmabhava-9 makes the warrior-
missionary; or a a spiritual athlete.
6. Wealth cults = Venus in dharmabhava-9 . Loves
a ceremonious display of piety.
7. Shani in dharmabhava-9 connotes a harsh

lowest common denominator. Religious rules
may replace wisdom. Strong "Protestant Ethic,"
devotion to elders, One may gain some measure
of dignity via conformance with a

unyielding and often-tested catechism.
Otherwise, may be fearful of punishment from
patrons and popes; often externally pious but
internally a skeptic.
8. Guru in dharmabhava-9 is usually a preacher,

inclusive, celebrating diversity, but needing to
be right. Religious know-it-all. Overbearing,
but sincere.
A: the best Vimshottari dasha periods for foreign travel
in pursuit of wisdom, philosophical expansion, and
teaching-learning purposes =
1. bhukti of the lord of dharma bhava-9 (globalism
and Graha in 9
2. bhukti of lord of yuvati bhava (11th from 9th,
gains from globalism) especially dharmesha-9 i
7
3. bhukti of lord of vyaya bhava (extended
residence in distant worlds, foreign sojourn)
4. bhukti of Rahu when lord of Rahu is related to 9
or 12
To permit extended foreign travel these graha should be
empowered via drishti from Guru, or better yet from a
combination of Rahu + Guru.
If the 10th radix lord receives drishti of Rahu or Guru,
or occupies a nakshatra of Rahu or Guru, or the 10th
lord occupies a rashi of Guru, the main purpose of
foreign travel is professional work.
If Budha or Guru are strong in vyaya bhava, there may
be extensive traveling for the purpose of teaching-
preaching (Guru) or skills instruction (Budha).

If the 9th lord occupies bhava-12, periods of graha in 9

periods of the dharmesha-9 , or periods of the ruler-of-
12 all contain the potential to develop an very broad
view of the world through research and study. However
this view which is very definitely global in its
philosophical extent does not require and often does no
permit much physical movement since the dharmesha-9
loses its vital powers when plunged into 12. Often the
armchair philosopher who is a great mind but of weak
body has this combination which draws considerably
upon parallel life memory of residence in foreign
cultures (12, parallel life ).

If the immediate purpose of travel is not wisdom but

rather gain of income (11) or commercial transaction (3
then the bhava-pati and karaka graha for those function
will produce the necessary impetus for traveling.
uttama-amza Mangala in 3, for example, can produce
decades of vigorous movement spent in short-term
travel during which the native learns hardly anything
about the philosophy, history or culture - but much
energy (Mangala) is expended in repetitive (3) travel.
Business is developed and cintamani * mani * money is
made. Rahu in 3 or 11 can produce ambitious travel
behaviors - materially gainful indeed but from a
dharmic perspective, much ado about nothing.

I once talked to a professional travel agent who claimed

to have visited nearly 60 countries on"free trips ", and
she had the passport stamps to prove it. She stayed
exactly three days in each land (fly-in day, stay-day, fly
out day) so naturally she never left the capital city and
often never left the hotel. She learned nothing of
languages cultures or traditions. Despite all of
that"movement"and planning the only"take away" was
bit of insight about air-ticketing and the hotel business.

So, as always, it depends on the intent.

"The Blessed One said,
 "These are true sufferings, these are true sources
these are true cessations, these are true paths.
 Sufferings are to be known, their sources are to
be abandoned, their cessations are to be
actualized, the paths are to be cultivated.
 Sufferings are to be known, then, there will be
no more suffering to be known.
 The sources of sufferings are to be abandoned;
then, there will be no more sources to be
abandoned. The cessations of suffering are to be
actualized.
 The paths are to be cultivated; then, there will b
no more paths to be cultivated."
 These are the four noble truths in terms of their
entities, requisite actions, and actions together
with their effects."
"The modes of thought in pride and in courageous
thought are entirely different.
Depression, caused by disintegration of the ego ,
probably comes from not being able to posit a
conventionally existent I.
 Still, when some understanding of emptiness
develops, you have a different feeling of I than
that to which you previously were accustomed.
Our usual feeling is that the I is something solid, really
independent, and very forceful.
 Such no longer remains, but at the same
time there is a sense of a mere I that
accumulates karma and performs actions.
 Such a sense of self is not at all a source of
 depression.

If you have difficulty positing a merely nominal I as

well as merely nominal cause and effect of actions -- if
you get to the point where if you assert selflessness,
you cannot posit dependent-arising -- then it would b
better to assert dependent-arising and give up
selflessness.

 Indeed, there are many levels of understanding

selflessness,
 and Buddha, out of great skillfulness in
method , taught many different schools of tenet
that posit coarser levels of selflessness for those
temporarily unable to understand the more subtl
levels.

It is not the case that only if the most profound level is

immediately accessible, it is suitable; and if it is not
accessible, the whole endeavor should be thrown away.

 You have to proceed step by step with

whatever accords with your level of mind.

Between emptiness and dependent-arising, you

should value dependent-arising more highly."
