Aspects-Introduction Graha Drishti means how a Graha (planet) takes or accepts another Graha. If a Graha looks at another Graha with a full look (Drishti or aspect) it means that the aspected Graha is fully affected by the aspecting Graha. It is the 3rd, 7th and 10th house from the one that the planet is positioned in? Graha Drishti
In addition, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have special aspects:
We can decide the signs and houses aspected by a planet as above. Basics are as following : Raashi Drishti Movable Raashi aspecting other Raashis - and receiving aspects from them - namely the Fixed Raashi, except the one close-by.
A movable Raashi aspects all fixed Raashi except the one adjacent to it. For example, Graha Drishti vs Raashi Drishti Let us take a dreaded criminal as another example. He may also have an influence on his neighbors. Youngsters living in the neighboring houses may enter the criminal world because of him. Ladies in the neighboring houses may stay inside their houses at night and not come out after certain time. Thus we are influenced by people in neighboring houses. Influence exerted by planets by Raashi Drishti is similar to this influence. Compared to this limited influence on the neighbors, a priest may have greater influence in the matters of the nearby temple where he works. He may have a lot of influence on devotees who come to visit the temple and who approach him for performing Poojaas, Homs etc. Influence exerted by Graha Drishti is similar to this influence. Influence exerted by Raashi Drishti is
due to the sign a planet is in and this influence is due to the inherent nature of a
planet. This is analogous to the influence people exert on their neighbors. All planets
in a sign will have Raashi Drishti on the same signs, just as people living in the same
house see the same neighbors everyday and exert some influence over the same neighbors.
But the influence they exert may differ. A priest may tell his neighbors to pray to God.
His movie-loving brother living in the same house may talk the same neighbors into watching
all the movies of a particular actress. Similarly, planets in the same sign may influence
planets in different houses. Thus, planets in the same sign exert influence on the same
houses and planets through Raashi Drishti, but the nature of the influence varies from
planet to planet. Never heard of 75%, 50% or 25% Raashi Drishti? They are not mentioned in most important classics, therefore we can take all Raashi Drishti as full aspects. BPHS and others do not define special Graha Drishti for Raahu and Ketu, therefore the general rules apply for them - or they do not throw any aspect due to their shadowy nature. I do not work with Raahu/Ketu aspects - but of course with the aspects of the Raashi where they are placed in. Raashi Drishti are always valid, for Upagraha as well.
