Healer

Yep... This discussion brought me the answers I was looking for. About what liberties one should take with the letter of Jaimini and not. I think when the pattern gets as clear as this time, one have to be a little more free in one´s interpretations of it. Also, as you say, the importance of D9, and indeed, the importance that he gives to the Sva proves what you say.

Also the use of the nakshatras as another layer of interpretation. Mercury in Moola is also good at bringing up secrets into the light, so that´s another healing aspect. Both for making a diagnosis and finding the root of a disease.

Thank you!
