@ernst in the first class of varshaphala course you say birth chart puts the ceiling in seeing the bad and good stuff for that year which makes sense as we are just looking for timing of the the events but then you say for certain thing you dont have to look at the birth chart at all (at ~31st minute) and example you gave was of marriage (I did not get that) which does not make sense to me and the reason I would say that is I will first check marriage or no marriage in the birth chart and varga charts using Jaimini then look at the varshaphala which solar return would give that ? so I got confused hence wanted to clarify I don't thing there is anything which you will not weight in the birth chart or varga chart before even looking at vashaphala , pls help clarify if I have misunderstood
When I look at the varshaphala chart, i use it as a timing method for what is in the birth chart. So if I see an event in it, I consider it something that can happen that year. If the event is not in the chart, say it's a no marriage chart, then I won't predict it. But if it's a marriage chart, I don't look at dasa timing in the birth chart to predict it. I juse use the varshaphala as the timing.
IN general i find vasrhaphala an easier timing method than vimshottari and so I think its more likely to make mistakes if only saying what is in the varshaphala will happen if vimshottari also agrees.
