Khara drekkana = the there are 36 = 1/10th portions called drekkana in
22nd decanate from lagna the 360-degree circle
the 22nd drekkana =
the first 1/3 portion of the 8th bhava of the
graphic dreshkh-amsha D-3 varga
In Jyotisha, the third bhava = 8th-from-8th.
According to the principle of bhavat bhavam, the
3rd amsha expresses the next-step, next iteration, of the death-and-rebirth 8th amsha
Therefore the signification of 3 = death of death =
completion of a life-cycle. In many world cultures, three is the number of full completion = fulfillment of expectations.
Kharesha = sharp shears
Lord ruler of the 22nd drekkana * 22nd
decanate
Within the graphic design of the D-3 varga it is
easier to see: the kharesha
the kharesha is ruler of the 8th bhava
from D-3 lagna
The kharesha an indicator of the maximum lethal
sharpness of the 8th amsha .
The movement of the kharesha is not really
a sudden attack. Rather the accumulating, building, energizing patterns are moving toward eruption of force, but they are occulted * covered * undisclosed * and therefore these natural dynamics have not been noticed.
Thus for the inattentive, the release of energy
triggered by the kharesha only seems sudden. Those who watch will not be surprised.
Due to its apparently sudden penetrating action, the
Kharesha is sometimes called the Stinger.
Sudden turnings of the cycle of birth and
death, radical transformation of the vital life-force energy, catastrophic shocks, guerilla attack, hidden insurgency.
It is also potentially relevant to consider the
Kharesha as counted from the Chandra lagna and from the swamsha.
Predictive considerations if the Kharesha = a temporal marana-karaka within
the radical nativity, its empowerment is much increased
If randhresha-8 occupies radix lagna and the
Kharesha occupies bhava-8,
the period of the Kharesha may generate a
Sharp-Cutting experience as the kharesha cuts the cord of attachment to some outdated shell o life itself is eternal; the present material shell-protector-form however may be threatened
If the Kharesha's power becomes strengthened by
concurrent transit
or if the kharesha also the current lord of
the vimshottari dasha sub-period
the kharesha can cut the cord = that silver
cord which connects the soul to the flesh- protective-shell-organism
If the Kharesha occupies radix lagna while
randhresha-8 has strength , period of randhresha- 8 may feature a penetrating cut or scrape of some variety -- not necessarily fatal but perhaps an encounter with sharp metal or poisonous stings
Kharesha yuti Rahu = much amplified encounters
with the conditions of death and forced transformations, especially during Rahu periods Lemma for English word O.E. yfel (Kentish evel ) bad, vicious, 'evil':www.etymonline.com from P.Gmc. *ubilaz (cf. O.Saxon ubil , Goth. ubils ), from PIE *upelo-, giving the word an original sense of uppity, overreaching bounds;
