CAPTURE: Basics > Planetary drekkanas (ayudha drekkana etc)
Reference chart: 15 Sep 1980, 07:30:00, TZ +5:30, 72E35 23N02
Lagna 12 Vi 39' 32.74" -> every whole-sign house cusp sits in DREKKANA 2 of its
sign, so the twelve house rows below give the drekkana-2 label for all twelve
signs in one reading. The body rows add drekkanas 1 and 3 where a body happens
to fall in one.

Sun        Ayudha (weapon), Kroora (cruel)      [Le, drekkana 3]

3rd house  Sarpa (snake), Kroora (cruel)        [Sc, drekkana 2]

11th house Sarpa (snake)                        [Cn, drekkana 2]
12th house Ayudha (weapon)                      [Le, drekkana 2]

CONSISTENCY CHECKS (two independent rows landing in the same drekkana agree):
  Mars and the 2nd house are both Li drekkana 2   -> both Pakshi        OK
  Venus and the 11th house are both Cn drekkana 2 -> both Sarpa         OK
  Mercury and Lagna are both Vi drekkana 2        -> both blank         OK
  Sun and Jupiter are both Le drekkana 3          -> both Ayudha+Kroora OK

STILL NEEDED: drekkanas 1 and 3 of most signs. Cheapest sweep is to re-enter the
same chart with the birth time moved so the lagna sits near 2 deg (drekkana 1)
and near 25 deg (drekkana 3) of its sign; the twelve house rows then give all
twelve signs at that drekkana in one reading. Two extra chart entries complete
the 36.
