Kali or Durga and their sub-deities as indicated by planets.

The following was written by me in the comment section of the previous article


Sai Baba – Shankaracharya controversy.

I am picking out the part on Kali or Durga and the sub-deities and posting here for easy search and reading. The source is Prasna Marga.

Sun in Saturn's sign of Capricorn represents Ayyappa.

It represents hunter's deities in Pisces, the sign of Jupiter. Hunter's deity is Mahishasuramardhini. Read my blog here: http://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.in/2011/10/durga-puja-has-early-traces-in-tamil.html

Very nice article. I was looking for this information - I suggested Kali puja starters (listening to stotrams) for someone with Mars in cancer (makara lagna). didn't know whether the odd or even had to do from aries or from the lagna.

Odd from Aries = subramanya
even from aries = kali variations.

ravi.
