Rāśi & graha dṛṣṭi, how it works?

Although in jyotiṣa there are two kinds of dṛṣṭis (aspects): rāśi and graha dṛṣṭis,
astrologers generally utilize only graha dṛṣṭi. One of the reasons is that some think that
the rāśi dṛṣṭi is to be used only in Jaiminī astrology. However, there is a view, – which I
agree – that Jaiminī just continued what Parāśara taught. The prove of this is that Parāśara
also gave to us rāśi dṛṣṭis, argalās, ārūḍhas, cara kārakas, rāśi daśās, including a whole
chapter teaching how to predict using cara daśā and other rāśi daśās. Therefore, there is
enough proof that Jaiminī only developed more some of these techniques in his Upadeśa
Sūtras.

Now, coming back to dṛṣṭis, I will put here my understanding of this question:

(1) Rāśi dṛṣṭis are sign aspects, in this the movable signs aspects the fixed signs, and the
fixed signs the movable signs. The dual signs aspects only the dual signs.
(2) Graha dṛṣṭis are graha aspects, in this all the planets look the 7 th from them, and Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn have special dṛṣṭis known among all the students and scholars of jyotiṣa.
(3) Rāśi type of dṛṣṭi is a fixed dṛṣṭi, yogas formed in this way will work through the life and
their variations will occur according to daśā and transit, but it cannot stop to work as it
connects circumstances, environments (rāśis).
(4) Graha dṛṣṭis are temporal, they need to be achieved through daśā, so they are not fixed
and they connect entities.
(5) This is the best way to understand this dṛṣṭis: one is temporal and the other is fixed, one
connects circumstances and the other entities.

Through this I think we can understand the main difference between this dṛṣṭis
theoretically, but now we need to access it through an example:

In this chart we see that Saturn is in 9th house in a movable sign, so he aspects the 1th,
4th and 7th houses through rāśi dṛṣṭi and the 3th, 6th and 11th through graha dṛṣṭi. Taking
first the rāśi dṛṣṭi, this person likes to be in home playing music and talking with others
through his computer, this is clearly seen through his 4th house. But he neglects his diary
duties which is indicated by the 6th lord Saturn in 9th house debilitated and retrograde.
This makes his father angry with him. This is a constant in his life, a pattern, and it never
changes. Time to time his father has to punish him in some way to remember him that he
cannot be all the time in internet and playing music, there are many duties related to
school and home that he has to fulfill daily. The circumstances of the 9th and 4th house are
interconnected, and as it is a 6/8 position from each other, it gives tensions.

Now look at his graha dṛṣṭis: Saturn aspects 3th, 6th and 11th houses, all upacaya
houses. Therefore, he will have desire for growth when Saturn be activated in some way.
Between december 2013 to april 2014 Jupiter-Jupiter-Saturn viṁśottarī dāśa started and
he got an opportunity to work (6th) and gain (11th) with it. The work was completely
manual (3th), and he did it well, but as Saturn is weak (4º of aries and debilitated,
although retrograde), he didn’t persevered, and in the same period he stopped to work.
One of the reasons why he stopped to work is that he was not gaining much well and
there was many delays to receive his money. His boss also failed with him in some
instances, so he gave up this work.
Now we can see that both kinds of dṛṣṭis work and can be used in a chart. Parāśara
gave to us two kinds of dṛṣṭis, and although medieval astrologers didn’t mentioned rāśi
dṛṣṭis in their works, we can make use of them and recover this kind of forgotten
technique of jyotiṣa in a comprehensively way.
