Arabic Parts in Astrology - Specific Examples

Arabic Components are points of energy inside a Western or Vedic horoscope that role as a particular significator. In contrast to planets or grahas, Arabic Components indicate the disposition of one domain. They permit the astrologer to examine a precise facet of a client's life in a way that would not be feasible with planets alone. Arabic Components are calculated from 3 points: the base (nearly usually the ascendant) and the positions of the two planets (main and secondary) that are most closely related with the matter at hand.

For instance, we may define a Part of Passion, a point of energy that indicates the disposition and function that passion plays in the life of the client. Most astrologers would agree that Mars (Mangala) is the planet most closely linked with passion, and that Venus (Sukra) also strongly linked. We would say that Mars is the key planet, and Venus the secondary planet.

The initial step of the computation is to discover the distance, in degrees, from the key planet to the secondary planet. The path is essential. It should be from principal to secondary, as the sun moves along the ecliptic. The second step is to add this distance to the base (ascendant).

Think about this instance. We compute the Part of Passion exactly where the Ascendant is 0° Gemini (Mithunya), Mars (Mangala) is at 15° Capricorn (Makara), and Venus (Sukra) is at 20° Virgo (Kanya). The distance from 15° Capricorn to 20° Virgo is 245°. We add 245° to 0° Gemini to get 5° Aquarius (Kumbha). The Part of Passion is 5° Aquarius/Kumbha.

We can make this computation simpler by defining it algebraically as:

Arabic Part = Base + Secondary - Principal

Arabic Components will differ based on which astrological tradition is becoming observed. The Western and Vedic traditions recognize various planets. In addition, they apply slightly distinctive interpretations to the planets (grahas), so the key and secondary planets in one cultural tradition might not be as vital in the other.

For instance, we may perhaps define a Part of Art, a point of energy that shows the part of artistic endeavors in the client's life. Each the Western and Vedic astrological traditions would designate Venus (Sukra) as the major planet. Contemporary Western astrologers would be much more most likely to declare Neptune as the secondary planet connected with art. Vedic astrologers, nevertheless, would be extra probably to declare Buddha (Mercury) to be the secondary planet. Provided these variations, Both tradition would compute a distinctive Part of Art. The judgment of the person astrologer would also play a part in this matter.
