Analysis of a Bhava V- Planets in First house

INTRODUCTION

This section shall enumerate the different effects of all the planets in different houses. The

effects of all the planets shall be divided into two distinct categories namely the favourable

effect, the unfavourable effects:

A planet gives favourable results

if it is placed with strength viz., placement in exaltation, Moola trikona, own house or natural

friends houseif is under the influence of natural benefics Jupiter, Mercury, Venus or Moon.

A planet gives unfavourable results

if it is weak by placement viz., placement in debilitation or enemies house.

if it is under the influence of natural malefics Saturn, Rahu, Mars, Sun or Ketu.

The relations signified by a house suffer, if the house is placed with malefics (afflicted) and thelord of the house is weakly placed as well. If benefic aspects such house, the suffering is either

nullified or minimised to great extent. The influence on the lord of the the bhava also shows the

effect on the natives mental makeup towards relations signified by that house. Thus if the 3rd

lord is afflicted, the the native might not go well with brothers. The different relations governed

by the houses are:

Lagna- Self

Second- Family as a whole

Third- Siblings in general and younger siblings in particular

Fourth- Mother

Fifth- Children; Secret friendsSixth- Enemies, maternal uncles

Seventh- Spouse

Eighth-

Ninth- Father

Tenth-

Eleventh- Friends, Paternal uncle

Twelfth- Secret enemies

The natural benefics (Jupiter, Mercury, Moon & Venus) are good for the health and longivity of

the relations and natural malefics (Saturn, Mars, Sun, Rahu & Ketu) cause health troubles and

reduction in longevity and health. In the the third house malefics give lesser siblings and in thefifth house it gives difficulties in birth of children and also lesser in numbers.

THE LAGNALagna is primarily a kendra bhava and secondarily a trikona bhava and hence Parashara says that

this bhava is specifically auspicious of all natives. If there is affliction to this bhava, the whole

horoscope is affected. Malefics placed here can harm the bhava, however since this is a kendra

bhava, if those malefics (Mars or Saturn) are placed in own house or exaltation, they constitute

two mahapurusha yoga namely Ruchaka and Sasa Mahapurusha yoga. When such mahapurusha

yoga occurs, the planet doesnot harm the bhava and instead promote the bhava.

be seen from the characteristics of the planets, which are as follows:

Since the Lagna signify the self and the personality of the native, the influence of different

planets shall influence the personality of the native too. If more planets are placed in the Lagna

(or aspect it), the person would be broad minded as he would be having the attitude / personality

traits bestowed by all planets. Many shastras say that such people will be a king, which in

modern context mean an able leader or a natural leader.

This is a Marana Karaka Sthana for Saturn and hence the natural significations of Saturn such as

longevity gets severely affected. However, if they also constitute the Mahapurusha yoga, the

effect undergo transformation and the Marana Karaka avastha is cancelled.

The different Karakas for this bhavas are:

Sun - Soul; Health and Vitality

Moon - Body

Jupiter - Intelligence

Saturn - Hair

The effect of different planets on Lagna is based on their interaction with these different karakas.

If they are friends to the Karaka, they shall enhance the significations of the karaka; otherwise

they shall affect it adversely. However, it needs to be emphasised again that strong planets

(exaltation, own, friendly houses) tend to give less malefic results than the weaker ones. It is also

to be noted that each planet is a karaka for other houses too. If it is placed in a dusthana (6th/ 8th/


4/6

12th) from the concerned house (karya bhava), then the native is unfortunate related to the affairs

to that house. For example if Saturn is placed in the Lagna, it can curtail longevity since, it is the

karaka of eighth house (longevity) and if placed in the Lagna, it would be placed in sixth house

from the eighth, which happens to be a dusthana from the karya bhava. Similarly Mars is the

Karaka for enemies and if placed in the Lagna, would be in the eighth (dusthana) from the sixth

house, causing damage to the sixth house. Thus, this position of Mars, causes suffering to theenemies in the hands of the native (Lagna- self).

One more very important thing to consider is the concept of argala. Planets in the Lagna would

have argala on the 12th house, 3rd house and the 10th house. Malefics in the Lagna would have

the argala on the 11th house too. Thus the planets in the Lagna shall effect the influences of these

four houses also. If benefics are placed in Lagna, then it enhances, expenses on good cause,

prosperity of the siblings, enhacement of reputation and fame and also income from desirable

sources. Malefics placed in the Lagna gives quite opposite results.
