Vara means Vedic Day. Every day of the week is associated with a planet, Sunday – Sun, Monday – Moon and so on, similarly every hour is ruled by a planet and this is called ‘Hora’.
Panchanga is the foundation of every chart and should be seen as the basis of chart interpretation. It means “five limbs” pancha – five and anga – limb. These five limbs are linked to the five elements: fire, water, earth, air, akash. The entire world is made up of these five elements and the mind experiences the world through these elements.
In our birth charts we can see if there are incompatibilities and difficult combinations that need healing or can be forewarned and able to prepare, as needed to address the flaws and weaknesses of one or more of the limbs so we can apply a remedial measure.
The day Lord is the energy in the body, energy we have inherited, how we act, verve, gusto and enthusiasm for life. Hora Lord is how we use that energy. The relationship between these two Lords shows how we use our energy and issues that manifest around directing our life force energy.
