XIConcerning the Seventh House

The 7th house mainly refers to marr iage, wife or husbandand mari tal happiness.

Marr iage is a landmark in l i fe. l t is an inst i tut ion foundedon love and affection. But it is also a most complicated struc-ture made up of a whole ser ies of heterogeneous subject iveand objective factors. Since we are concerned only with thepsycho-astrological aspects of marr iage, we shalt exclude theobjective factors of legal and social significance in our study.

Marr iage is not an inst i tut ion for brute sense.grat i f icat ion.I t is not a civ i l agreement that af fects only the part ies to i t . l tis the basis of the family and its dissolutjon as well as forma-tion is a matt€r of social interest. lt is the mould out of whichthe future generation comes out.

ln our own country, marriage has been consictered a sacra-rnent and comprehends the equality of the partner in respect ofDharma (r ight conduct), Artha ( f inancial posi t ion), Kama (sextelat ions) and Moksha (f inal emancipat ion).

Main Considerat ions

ln analysing the Seventh Bhava. due conslderation mustrre given io three important factors, viz., (al the House, (D)the Lord, and (c) the Karaka, who in this case would bo Venus.

ln the Fifth House:-An early marriage, the partner mayhai l f rom an aff luent and wel l - to-do family. The wife othusband will be mature and an advantage to the native. lf rhe7th lord is weak, there may be nochildren. lf severely afflicted,one may get issues through the adulterous conduct of t\e wife.lf there are both afflictions and benefic influences on the 7thlord, the nativ€ may get only female progeny. Trouble to one'soffice superiors through foreign soulces is likely. The nativewi l l possess good character.

ln the Sixth House:-The native may have two martiageswith both partners l iv ing. One may marly a cousin such as

an uncls's daughter. lf badly afflicted and the karaka Venus isalso ill-disposed, one may suffer from impotency and many

other diseases. The native's wife may be sickly and jealous bynature denying the husband happiness from marr iage. l f Venusis well placed but the 7th lord is aff licted, the native may sufferfrom piles. lf Venus is weak but not afflicted, one may desert

These results occur if the 7th lord is placed in the differentBhavas. But they nlust not be appl ied l i teral ly to charts with-out considering the ent ire chart as a whole after assessing thestrengths and weaknesses of the several planets.

These results are modified by the aspects and associationsreceived by the planet in the 7th house.

l f the Sun is aff l icted by Rahu, affairs uyi th women maylead to scandals or loss of nroney on account of blackmai l orsimi lar t rouble. l f l / lars aff l icts such a sun, marr ied l i fe wi l l bestr i fe-r idden and the partners wi l l hate each other. tn addit ion,the nat ive may suffer f rom blood-pressure and a diseased heart .The body wi l l suffer f rom excess heat which may result in pi lesand f istula. l f the Moon aff l icts the Sun, he may have nomarr iage at al l and suffer f rom a wretched existence. l f Mercuryjoins the Sun, he wi i l be highry intei l igent and ractfui ly dealwith troubles accruing from Government or other sources. l fJupiter aspects or associates with the Sun, the partner may bea highly evolved spir i tuar sour and guide the nat ive arso. r ffort i f ied Venus be with the sun, marr iage wi i l be marked byspir i tual harmony.

the native nray resort to unnatural methods of gratification'

lf the Moon and Rahu combine in the 7th, life will be intole-

rable with trouble from ghosts and goblins as well.

The following combinations have worked well in our

humble experience.tf Venus combines with Mars and Mercury, the mattiage

will be stable and harmonious with both panners being success'

ful and distinguished in'their occupations. lf afflicted, it gives

extramarital affairs. lt also leads to trouble and controvetsy

due to wt i t ing or publ ishing obscene and degenerate l i terature'

Venus with Saturn gives patience, stability in marriage and

skill in dance and drama. lf fortified, success on the stage or

cinema can also be predicted. lf aff licted, troublo through

these same sources is likely. Venus and Jupiter give good

children and a healthy and happy wife. lf afll icted by Rahu

or Mars, the nat ive may indulge in immoral le lat ions with

preceptor's wife or elderly ladies. Mars and Venus give a

weakness for gambling, reiorting to dens of pleasure. lf

aff licted, living through these means and ttade in flesh ate

indicated. lf fortified, the partner will be loving but passionate

and faithful. lf Venus be afflicted by the Sun, the marriage

will lack physical attraction, the couple assuming indifferent

ettitud€slf Saturn is afflicted by the Sun, stability of rnarriage is

threatened. More than one marr iage is also l ikely but this may

also prove unsuccessful. Jupiter aspecting Saturn in the 7th

gives stability but inner turmoil and tesentment between the

couple. l f Mars aff l icts, coutts may intervene; or v iolence.

such as suicide ol murder, rnay destroy the marliage, provided

Coaccrniog ihc Sovontb Hourc l!

of course there are other afflictions, lf Saturn is with a waxing

or strong Moon, marriage may take place with a widow; but

if the Moon is further afflicted, intrigues wilh servant'maids

and widows or an old decreplt, lecherous husband. lf strong

Saturn is afflicted by Rahu, marriage is with a well'to-do

but irrascible, temporamental husband or wife. lf Satuln

is strong in his own constellation, the partner will latet becomepious and devoted. lf Mercury afflicts Saturn, partner may be

cowardly and deceitful; but if Mercury is beneficially disposed,

marriage will be with one highly educated, ref ined and learned.

The mere occurence of these combinations should not

allow one to jump to conclusions. The aspects of other planets,

not only as natural benefics or malefics, but also as functional

benef ics or malefics with reference to the Lagna must be taken

into account. The strength and associations of the kataka and

ol the 7th house and 7th lord from the Moon must also be duly

weighed before making an assessment of the quality of'marriage.

This is especially so where the chastity of a girl or the

question of the faithfulness of the husbans is concerned. Such

delicate issues must be resolved only aftel a very careful and

diligent scrutiny of both horoscopes.

Time and Fructification of the Results of theSeventh House

The factots governing the Seventh House are (a) the lotd,

(D) planet or planets aspecting the 7th house, (c) planet or

planets occupying the 7th house, (d) planets aspecting the

lord of the 7th, (e) planet or planets in association with the

lord of the 7th, (/ ) the lord of the 7th from the Moon ; and

(g) the karaka of the 7th Bhava.

l4 How to Judgc a Hororcopc

These factors are capable of inf luencing the 7th house aslords of the Dasas (main-periods), as lords of Bhukt is (sub-periods) or as lords of the Antaras (sub-sub-periods) or thest i l l minor periods.

The sub-periods of planets, capable of inf luencing the 7thhouse in the major per iods of planets also capable of inf luen-cing the 7th house, produce results pertaining to the 7th housepar excellence or of great intensity. The sub-periods of planetsassociated with the 7th house in the major periods of planetsnot associated with the 7th house can produce results pertain-ing to the 7th Bhava only to a l imited extent. Simi lar ly theBhukt is of planets, not related to the 7th house in the majorperiods of planets associat ing with the 7th, can produco resultspertaining to the 7th house only to a l imited extent.

Where the 7th lord is involved in a powerful yoga, he iscapable of producing in his Dasa or Bhukt i , the lesults of theyoga relat ing to tho 7th house. l f the 7th house is severely aff t ic-ted, the 7th lord may, in his Dasa or Bhukt i , cause destruct ionof the marr iage or make i t extremely miserable. l f wel l fort i -f ied, i t may give a successful , dist inguished as wel l as happymarr iage.

Nature of the Rosults

The general principles enunclated in regard to the sixBhavas in the f i rst volume hold good in judging the seventhBhava also.

During the Dasa of the ?th tord who is wel l placed, thenat ive wi l l en;oy the company of his wife and many pleasureswith her. He wi l l acquire new and colourful apparel , jewels,furnishings, beds and be healthy and radiant. He may go onpleasures- jaunts, excursions andtravel abroad. Auspiciouscelebrations like marriages and similar festivities will take placeduring the Dasa.

rf rhe 7th rord is ii l-praced and affricted, the native maysuffe5 separat ion from his wife. The son-in_law may undergoa period of difficulty and strife. The native may get intotrouble through affairs with women of ii l-repute and wanderabout aimlessly. He may be stricken with clisease in the privateparts and come to gr ief thereby.

l f the 7th rord is wei l -praced with the Ascendant rord inthe 7th, travel abroad will be lucky. The native may prosperabroad and settle there itself. He may marry a lucky womanwho wi l l be very helpful . l f the 7th lord combines with bene-fics, he may travel in a tuxury-yatch or take up a job as a sea-captain. lf the 7th lord is weak, one may be forced to beg inhis Dasa. lf the Ascendant rord be feebre, the period otitrelord of the 7th house can be a maraka. lf the Ascendant lordis placed in the 6th, Bth or 12th from Navamsa Lagna, travelin his period may be wearisome and prof i t less.

When the 7th tord joins the 2nd lord in the 2nd house.his period may fetch much moneyand wealth through marr iage.Or marr iage may take place with a working gir l .

The native'slife will be marjced by domestic harmony and many auspiciousevents like mariages, engagements, etc., may occul. lf afflicted,the native's mother may die ot pass through a grave ctisis.His education will begin paying, mostly in foreign lands. lffortif ied, he may obtain cars and other vehicles during theperiod of the 4th lord.

lf a fortified lord of the 7th house is placed in the 5th

house with the lord of the 5th house, wife and children willbe happy and wealthy. lf afflicted, children may die or mishpsmay befall them. Marital tife witl suffer and wife may die or

There are several metlrods suggested for t iming marr iagein classical works,

The lord of the sig,r occupied by the 7th lord or that ofthe sign occupied by the 7th lord in Navai-nsa are capable ofg iv ing mar r iage in the i r Dasas . Venus, the karaka or na tura lsigni f icator of the 7th house, and the Moon can also givemarr iage in their per iods. The strongest of t l rese lords givesmarr iage in his Dasa. The lord of the 7th house, i f he asso.ciates with Venus, can also give marr iage in his Dasa orBhukt i . The 2nd lord or the ruler of the sign occupied by ihe2nd lord in Navamsa is also capable of conferr ing maruiage in

Concerning the Seventh Housc lg

his Dasa. The rords of the 9th and loth houses are empoweredto g ive mar r iage in the i r Dasas i f the ear l ie r Dasas are f ru i t less .Marr iage is also possibre in the period of the pranet with the7th lord or the planet occupying the 7th house.

Another method is to add the longitude of the lords ofthe Lagna and 7th house. when Jupiter t ransi ts t f re resurtantRasi or i ts t r ines, i t is favourabre for rnarr iage. The resuttantobtained by adding the Moon's rongitude to that of the 7thlord or i ts t r ines when transi ted by Jupiter can also givemarr iage.

Although there are several planets enumdrated as marr iagecausing planets in their per iods, due considerat ion must bepaid to delay caused by other factors. Saturn.s aspect on the7th house and 7th lord both frorn Lagna and the Moon andon Venus delays marr iage i f the Dasa lord is not very strong.The association or aspect of the lord of the 6th, gth or 12thon the 7th house, 7th lord and karaka also rules out ear lymarr iage. Primary importance must be given to the natalposit ions and Dasas and only secondary considerat ion totransi t ing planets.

Kalatrakaraka : Venus as 2nd and 9th lord is beneficiailydisposed in a fr iendly sign in a quadrant. He is aspected by abenefic as well as 7th lord Jupiter and by Mars, a maleficbeing the 3rd and 8th rord. Venus is sr ight ly bremished butquite fortified by Jupiter's aspect.

Considered from the Moon.. The 7th house is Taurus, abenefic sign, aspected by the Moon and Mars and occupiedby Ketu. Mars, by himself, would not be a matefic but hisassociation with the Moon and Rahu affricts him. The 7thlord Venus is quite favourably disposed as analysed above.

Conclusion.. The 7th house is quite strongly disposedbutthe malefic influences are not negligibre. The strength of ths7th lord Jupiter gives a strong-willed husband while the

Moon with Mars and Rahu makes the native relf-willed. Theafflictions result in temperamental clashes but the prosonceof Saturn in the 7th and Jupiter and Venus in murual aspecttesult in a stable marriage with deep attschment betwecn thecouple.

Saturn's presence in the 7th house as the 6th lord causesdelay in marriage. The Dasas operating during th€ period oftnariageable age and after are of Venus, the Surr, the Moon,Mars and Rahu.

Recollecting the periods propitious for marriage, (1) thelords of the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the 7th lord,(2) Venus, (3) the Moon, (4) the lord of sign occupied by the2nd lord, (5) thelOth and (6)gth lordsand f inal ly, (7) the 7thlord or occupant of the 7th house can give marriage in respec-t ive order in theirperiods.

The following planets inChaft No. 1 would therefore beompowered to give marriage irr their periods :-

1, The lords of the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the7th lord-Jupiter, Jupiter

2. Venus3. The Moon4. The lord of the sign occupied by 2nd lord Venus-

Mercury5. The 1Oth lord-Mercury6. The 9th lord-Venus7. The 7th lord-Jupiter, the 7th occupant-Saturn, and

the planet aspectrng the 7th house-none.The native's Mercury Dasa ends in childhood. The next

Dasa that cdn give ,mar; iage is of Venus. Jupiter Dasa andSaturn Dasa operate very late in life. Thc Moon's periodalso comes rather late in life, Saturn in thc 7th, no doubt,

Concernfag the Seventb Hourc 26

delays maniage but the strength of karaka Venus and 7thlord Jupiter cannot push it off too far. Venus would, therefore,be empowered to give marriage in his Dasa. Of the sub-periodsof Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercuryand the Moon, Venus wouldbe ruled out as being too early. Jupiter is the strongest of theremaining four contestants both by aspect, posi t ion anb lord-ship. Marr iage occurred in Jupiter Bhukt i , Venus Dasa inApr i l 1961 .

Early or delayed marriage is determined according to thotimes. At one time in India, marriages were celebrated ofboys and girls at the tender age of 5 or 6 years. Later, astimes changed marriages were celebrated a little later, perhapsat 10 ot 12 years. In the 1960's, marr iage at 25 was consi-dered delayed while today it would be quite in order. Inter-pretation of a chart must always be made keeping in mind thebackground, period and society to which the native belongs.

The Seventh House.' The 7th house Aquarius is occupiedby Vargottama Ketu in Chan No. 2. lt is aspected by 7th lordSaturn, benef ic Jupiter and 4th and 9th lord, Yogakaraka,Mars. Saturn is 7th lord and his aspect on the 7th is astabi l is ing factor. Jupiter and Mars are funct ional benef icsand their aspects fortify the 7th house. Ketu should give theresults of s ign dispositor Saturn or of Mars, both of whom arebenef ic ial ly disposed. The 7th house has no aff l ict ions.

The Seventh Lord.' The 7th lord Saturn is placed in the1Oth house in a benef ic sign Taurus hemmed inbetween bene-f ics, the Moon on one side and Jupiter and Venus on thoother. The 7th lord is wel l placed.

Kalatrakaraka : Venus is in a f riendly sign very close tobenefic Jupiter and subject to a slight papakaratri yoga causedby Saturn and the Sun. But this malef ic yoga is balanced byJupiter's presence and the fact the Sun and Saturn are but the

The Seventh Lord : Venus the 7th lord is placed in theLagna with 1Oth lord the Sun. The Sun as a malef ic but rulerof the 1Oth house, a kendra, becomes a funct ional benef ic.

Kalatrakaraka : Venus is not only the 5th lord but alsothe natural s igni f icator of the 7th house. He is wel l disposedwith 1Oth lord the Sun aspect ing the 7th house.

Considered from the Moon : The 7th house is Ariesaspected by 1oth lord the Moon, 9th and 12th lord Mercury,Yogakaraka exalted Saturn and 7th lord Mars. The aspect ofMars as 7th lord is good but being {rom the 12th gives somemoments of touchiness. However the combined aspect of

tt How to Judge I HorotcoPo

exalted Saturn and 9th lord Mercury is powerful enough toward off any problems.

Conclusions : The native is married to a chaste anddevoted wife. This is particularly evident from the aspect of ablemishless Venus as karaka and 7th lord aspecting the 7thhouse.

The nat ive marr ied in May 1977. The fol lowing planets

are capable of giving marriage in their petiods : -

(1) The lords of the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the7th lord Mars and the Sun

(2) Venus(3) The Moon(4) The lord of the sign occupied by the 2nd lord Jupiter

yr'e., Mercury(5) The 1Oth lord the Sun(6) The 9th lord the Moon(7) The 7th lord Venus, no planets occupy the 7th, and

the Sun as the planet aspecting the 7th house.

Of these factors Mercury would seem appropriate since

ol l other Dasas begin very late. But Mercury Dasa i tsel f begins

rsther late in l i fe, that is, af ter 33 years. The chart has no

indications fot a late marriage. So, the planets ln association

with Merculy, that is, the Moon and Saturn would be the next

choice. The Moon Dasa operates vety late while Satutn Dasa

occurs during youth. Saturn would therefore be capable ofgiving marr iage. Venus Bhukt i can be frui t ful s ince he is the

slightly better placed being with karaka but malefic 3rd and

8th lord Venus and 6th lord the Sun. The 7th house from the

Moon also suffers affliction.Conclusion: The native was married in Septembet 1972

in Venus Dasa, Venus Bhukti. Applying the principles ol

80 How to Judge a Horoscopo

t iming marr iage this is qui te in order. In August 1973 discordbetween the native and her husband began. The couple sepa-rated in June 1974.

Conclusion.' Due to the occupation of Venus as 7th lordand as Kalatrakaraka of common sign, the nat ive marr ied asecond time after the death of the first. Both marriages werefairly happy. The 7th lord Mars' association witlr Ketu givestiffs between partners and a touchy wife. Saturn in theTth fromVenus is not so harmful as he would ordinari ly be because heis a Yogakaraka. Jupiter's aspect on the 7th lord Mars was alsoresponsible for a fair degree for happiness in married life.

sign. In Chart No. 8, Kalatrakaraka Venus is in the 7th housewith two other planets. Yet the native of Chart No. 8 has hadonly one marriage and a stable one. This is because, Venus,although, as karaka in the 7th, is not good, here in this casethe stigma is countered by Venus being Yogakaraka. Furtherhe is in a fixed sign indicating fixity of affections. The 7th lordis aspected by Lagna lord Saturn. From the Moon also, thecombination of Moon-sign lord Venus and Mars in Leo isdesirable. Mars as 7th lord aspecting the 7th house protects it.

Considered from the Moon.' The 7th house Gemini isaspected by debilitated Saturn while the 7th lord himself is inthe 12th from the Moon-sign. There are no benefic aspects onthe 7th house.

- Conclusion : The position of two natural enemies, theSun and Saturn, across the Lagna and the 7th house leads tostiff opposition or conflicts between married partnels. Venusand Mars, as Lagna and 7th lord, are together but with Rahu.This gives physical attraction between tho couple but themalef ic inf luences make harmony dl f f icul t .

Thisresults in a husbandwhowas already married to another at the time of marriage withthe native.

From the Lagna i tsel f both karakaand 7th lord are in the 6th house which is the 12th house fromthe 7th house. Further the exchange of s igns between the 6thand 7th lords from Lagna, namely, Jupiter and Mars respec-tively, only weakens the 7th house.

Mars and Venus in Marr iageAn Indian scholar, not ic ing the high degree of stabi l i ty and

harmony in marr iageg in lndia, began coltect ing case_hisior iesof married couples. He managed to get 603 cases for study.The age-group selected was 30 to 40. Al l the people con.cerned were born between 1931_40 and marr ied between1955-60. The economic background was most ly rurat andagricultural though 22/o of the case-histories concerned peoplewho derived their r iver ihood from commerciar and industr iaroccupations. In most cases, the informants were males. ltwas found that divorces and separations were about 6fo anddeaths of husbands or wives 1O/o. The scholar,s findings werethat47/" was posit ive,42/o neutrat and 11/o negat ive. Bypositive he means very successful marriages. By neutral hemeans a fair degree of harmony in domestic lives. And by

Conccrniog tho Sevcnth Housc 6j

negative he means disharmonious family lives. His conclusionwas that these figures proved the efficacy of astrology inmarital settlements. The system of matrimoniat matching ofhoroscopes, invariably resorted to by parents prior to the settlingof marriages, ensutes to a celtain extent their stability andharmony.

In our experience, apart from the other astrological con-siderat ions, the mutual disposit ions of Mars and Venus are tobe careful ly studied. l t cannot be a coincidence that divorce,separation and crimes of passion increase whenever there is aconjunct ion of Venus and Mars, especial ly when the constel la-tions involved are those of malefic planets. Children bornwhen there is a Venus-Mars conjunct ion should be brought upin a discipl ined manner and taught to avoid dissipat ing habitsof immediate pleasure. The adverse effects of conjunctionshould be made to express themselves through constructivechannels if Jupiter aspects the combination or is in a quadranttherefrom.

Venus is associated with many fascinating aspects of life.He rules the wife, conveyance, sex-harmony and union, art,at tachment, family happiness, marr iage in general , v i tal i ty,fert i l i ty, physical beauty and fr iendl iness. Mars abounds inenergy, aggressiveness, fortitude, driving force and in associa-tion of Venus, a tendency to excess of sensual gratification. ltis therefore necessary that in the horoscope of a couple, Mars-Venus conjunction or opposition should havethe benefic steady-ing effect of a favourable disposit ion of Jupiter ; or in thealternative the conjunction or opposition takes place in theconstel lat ions of Jupiter or Merculy or even Venus, Jupiter andMercury being more preferable. Venus-Mars disposition is animponant factor for physical attraction. But in the absence of

58 How to Judgc a Horoscopo

Jupiter 's or even saturn's benign inf luence reat eompatibir i tymay be lacking. Venus-Mars conjunct ion makes one fond ofpleasure. demonstrat ive and aclds a zest to one's sensual l i fe.When Venus and Mars are involved in adverse aspects, di f f i -cul ty through excesses and troubre through marr iage folrow asa matter of consequence. Venus in a good sign or constel la-t ion can temper the roughness of Mars, but i f Rahu is alsoinvolved, i t makes one lascivious, lewd and wicked. Ketu-Venus-Mars associat ion (or even mutuar aspect) is not desirabreunless the constel lat ion involved belongs to Jupiter or Mercuryor even benef ic lv loon, though the last c ircumstance may renderthe nat ive's thinking highry sensuar i rrespect ive of the chartbeing of a boy or of a gir l . Ketu-Venus-Mars (or Saturn)denotes danger cf scandal in marr iage But i f the 10th orhouse of Karma is wel l disposed, the aff l ict ion is somewhattempered.

Let us take the example of a person having Venus-Marsconjunct ion in Taurus, the Lagna being Scorpio. Venus.Kalarrakaraka, in the 7th is not general ly favoured by ancientwriters on the theory ol karako-bhavanasaya as the indicationsof the 7th house are said to be inhibi ted. Experience has how-over revealed that this textual dictum is not qui te val id, In factVenus in the 7th is one of the f inest combinat ions for a fair lyhappy marr iage, denot ing affect ion between the couple. When,in the case under reference, Venus is in Kri t t ika ruled by the Sunand Mars is in Mi igasira, the Tt l r house gains considerablest length and the marr ied l i fe wi l l be happy though crossed byfrequent emotional c lashes. l f such a nat ive is maried to onewho has Taurus r is ing with Venus and Mars in Scorpio, eachwil l constant ly try to appease the dictstes of the others' emo-t ions and over- indulge in sensual pleasures to the utter detr i -

In Rohinion the other hand, tho f iner gual i t i6s of Venus f ind expression.I t is always better to look for t r inal or quadrangurar disposit ionof Mars from the Lagna or the Moon, no mai ler even i f theyconfo in p rov ided they are in d i f fe ren t cons te l la t ions . A s imi la rdisposit ion in the partner 's horoscope is desirable though notessent ial .

ln select ing partners for marr iage, more than Kuta agrce_rnent, i t is the basic structure of the horoscopes that is impor-tant. One may possess outer charm but may have a stony heart ,acute sel f ishness and seek only sel f-aggrandisement. General lythose who have a conjunct ion of the Sun, Mars and lVlercuryin the ascendant w, i l l be disposed as above unless there arerel ieving features such as the aspect of Jupiter. We have withus a number of horoscopes in which t l re Moon occupies amart ian constel lat ion with the Sun and Saturn in the, l2th there-from. Many of lhem have conf irmed that their l ives have beenbeds of rhorns. When the lord of the 7th is in the 6th withVenus in the cons te l la t ion o f Rahu, one w i l l be f r ig id , thoughattract ive. The lreed for assessing the structure of the horo-scope can never be overemplrasized.

The method of comparing the horoscopes for purposes ofmarr iage has been ful ly discussed in my bool< fr luhurta orElectional Astrology.

Conclusion: The 7th lord Mars is in the 11th in combi-'nation with Rahu both in the consteilations of Venus and

aspected by Saturn from the constellation of Mrigasira. TheKalatrakaraka Venus is, in turn, af f l icted by associat ion withKetu si tuated in the constel lat ion of Rahu aspected by Mars.Both the lord of the 7th and Venus have been much aff l icted.The nat ive disl iked his wife and was a prof l igate. Ai l theattempts of the wife to wean him away from his evil waysfai led. Out of sheer disgust the lady returned to her parents,l rouse. The sensual l i fe led by the nat ive resulted in hiscontract ing dreadful venereal comp14ints.

Some General Observat ionsWhen Venus, Mars and Jupiter in one horoscope are

si tuated in the other horoscope in a tr ine or 3 ancl 1 1 posi_t ions, that is, i f in the boy's horoscope Venus is in Taurusand in the gir l 's horoscope, in Cancer or Virgo, i t is afavourable posit ion. When the Sun and the Moon havesimif ar harmonious positions, except 2 and 12 (dwirdwadasa),there is usual ly a strong al tachment. Here again i f thehusband's Sun is in Cancer and the wife.s is in Virgo, theneeded harmony exists. When the Sun and the Moon aredisposed as suggested above but Mars in one case is in a sign,which happens to be the 12th from Venus in the other horo-scope, attachment exists, but there cannot be normal happi-ness in their pr ivate l ives. l f Venus in one horoscope is in asign occupied by Saturn in the other a ser ious and indus-tr ious partner is indicated. Mars in the 7th, unaspected bybenef ics, indicates f requent quarrels reading to misunder-standings. Saturn in the gth aspected by Mars (especial ly4th or 8th house aspect) is not conducive to mutual under-standing. saturn in the 7th confers stabi l i ty in the marr iagebut the husband or wife manifests coldness and not warmth.

Conccroiog thc Seventb [Iouse

A strong malefic in the 4th affects married happiness unlessneutral ised by a benef ic aspect. l f the Janma Rasi (Moon sign)of the wife (or husband) happens to be the Lagna of thehusband (or wife), or i f the Lagna of the ' r , r i fe (or husband)happens to be the 7th from the position of the lord of the 7th( in the other) the marr ied l i fe wi l l be stable and bui l t onrnutual understanding and affect ion.

l f certain aff l ict ions are present in one horoscope, i t is saidthey can be mit igated by looking for a partner whose horo-scope has simi lar af{ l ict ions.

One of the most misunderstood and misappl ied astrologi-cal dicta is the one relat ing to the so-cal led evi l of Mars (KujaDosha) .

" l f Mars is in the 2nd,12th,4th,7th or gth house (ei therfrom the Ascendant or the Moon or Venus) in the horoscopeof the fenra le , the death o f the husband w i l l occur ; a s in r i la rsi tuat ion of Mars in the husband's horoscope causes the deathof the wife." l t should be noted that the strength of the dosriain 2, 12, 4, 7 and 8 is in ascending order. tn assessing thoquantum of dosha, Bhavas and not Rasis must be ta 'ken intoaccount. The dosha of Mars is said to get neutral ised or mini-mised in the fol lowing circumstances.

Mars in the 2nd is bad provided such 2nd house happensto be any sign other than Gemini and Virgo. Mars in the 12thcauses dosha in al l s igns except Taurus and Libra. Mars in the4th house causes aff l ict ion in signs other than Aries andScorpio ; when the 7th is other than Capricorn and Cancer, thedosha is given r ise to. Mars becomes evi l in the Bth in ai l s ignsexcept Sagit tar ius and Pisces. Mars procluces no dosha what-ever in Leo and Aquarius. The dosha is countered by theconjunct ion of Mars and Jupiter or Mars and the Moon.

03

U How to Judge a Horoscope

The Dosha is not absolute. l ts intensi ty can vary not onlyaccording to the exceptions given above but also according tothe sign-fr iendly, exalted, own, inimical etc.- involved. Wecan therefore rate the atf l ict ions as fol lows, taking Mars as theworst malef ic, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu as less malef ic and theSun, least malef ic, the malef icence being the highest in debi l i -tat ion and lowest in exaltat ion.

The table helps make an assessment of the total dosha in achart so that if the dosha units in both charts are equal ornearly so, the matching can be said to be good. l f the doshain the male horoscope exceeds the dosha in the female horo.scope by 25o/o, it is passable. lf the dosha in the male horo-scope exceeds this percentage or i f the female chart has moredosha, then the charts cannot be matched

As a general rule, the [ \4oon in a dusthana aspected by theLagna lord in conjunct ion with Saturn, I \4andi and Rahu.causes an unnatura l death .

l f the lord of the 1Oth from Navamsa Lagna is with Saturnor occupies thc 6th, 8th or 12th, the nat ive dies throughpoisoning. When the sanre lord is with Rahu or Ketu he mayend his l i fo by hanging. \Uhen the Sth or the gt l r s ign fromthe Moon is aspected or occupied by a malef ic planet andwhen a Sarpa (serpent), lJ igada (fet ters), pasa (noose) orAyudha (woapon), drekkana r ises in the 8th Bhava, i .e. , the22nd drekkana, the death is brought about by suicide byhanging. When malef ics occupy the 4th and the 1Oth or thetr ines and when the 8th lord comb!nes with Mars in Lagna,the nat ive ki l ls himself hanging.

The 22nd drekkana is reckoned from the Lagna drekkana.l f the Lagna is 27o Aquarius, Lagna drekkana is the 3rd drek-kana of Aquarius. The 22nd drekkana from tl.ris is the istdrekkana ot Libra,

Time and Fruct i f icat ion of the Resutts of tho EighthBhava Determining Longevity

The longevity of a nat ive can be determined by di f ferentmethods. But according lo most classical works, i t is notpossible to determine the span of rife before twerve years afterbir th. This is because the l i fe of the new.born baby is regu-lated by the act ions (karma) of i ts parents. l f the baby dieswithin the f i rst four years after bir th, i t is said to be due tothe mother 's bad karma. Death between four and eight yearsis attr ibuted to the bad act ions of the father. l f the chi ld diesbetween eight and twelve years, it is because of its own sinsfrom previous lives.

The correct determinat ion of longovity has always been ahard nut to crack. There are several methods in vogue, bothastrological and astrologico-malhematical . The maraka vichara( inquiry into death) on the basis of Vimshottar i Dasa has, atleast in our humble experience, proved quite satisfactory as itenables one to judge fair ly correct ly, the probable length ofone's l i fe on this planet. Of the mathematical systems,Pindayurdaya and Amsayurdaya, especial ly the lat ter, seernsto have received considerable attent ion from several wel l -known ancient wri ters. Varahamihira says that Satyacharya,sview that the longevity conferred by a planet depends uponits Navamsa posit ion is in conformity with the views of themajor i ty of astrological wri ters. The purely mathematicalmethods of longevity must be appl ied to thousands of horo-scopes befole a conclusion can be arr ived at as to their work-abi l i ty. One should not reject these methods basing rheconclusions on a smal l number of instances. We have beentest ing these various methods and f ind some of them, part i -cular ly the Amsayurdaya, yield fair ly approximate results.

Coocerniog tbc Eighth Housc

The pindayu MethodPindayu is also cailed Grahadattayurdaya as it is the total

of the terms of life granted by all the planets when in a stateof deep exaltation.

Each planet is supposed to give a certain term of life whenit occupies its deep exaltation point and half the period whenit occupies its deep debilitation point. At intermediate posi-tions it gives the period equal to hatf the term plus the periodproportionate to the planet's distance from its debilitationpo in t .

The term of life given by each of the planets in its deepexaltation is as follows : -

Sun-19 yearsMoon-25 yearsMars-15 yearsMercury- l2 yearsJupiter- l5 yearsVenus-2l yearsSaturn-20 years

The same planets in debilitation give the foilowing terms : __Sun-9 years 6 rnonthsMoon-12 years 6 monthsMars-7 years 6 monthsMercury-6 yearsJupiter-7 years 6 monthsVenus-l0 years 6 monthsSaturn-10 yearsThese are the terms of rife each pranet gives to the native,

provided, the planets are not affected otherwise, either by the7

conjunction or by the aspect of malefics. But it is very larethat we come across horoscopes, not af fected in anyway byadverse planetary posit ions. Out of these terms certain deduc.t ions are to be made to subst i tute for the evi l aspects andother malef ic inf luences. For this what is cal led Harana orreduct ion is employed. There are var ious kinds of Haranaswhich require careful appl icat ion and which depend upon theintengity of the evi ls in any part icular horoscope.

Four kinds of Haranas of reduct ions should be appl iecl .They aro :

1. Chakrapatha Harana,2. Satruksehtra Harana,3. Astangata Harana, and4, Krurodaya Harana.

Chakrapatha Harana

The Lagna is the Ascendant. The 7th house from i t or the180th degree is the Descenclant. The Descendant is the hori-zon. The westward direct ion from the Ascendant to the hori-zon cor/ers the 12th, 1 1th, 1Oth, gth, 8th and 7th Bhavas.Planets found within 180o west of the Ascendant undergo thisreduct ion, whi le planets which at bir th are below the horizon,i .e. , occupying the f i rst s ix Bhavas are exempt from this reduc-t ion. Those that ale nearest to the Lagna in i ts western direc-t ion lose a great part of their terms of l i fe, whi le planets at thefarthest distance from t l re Ascendant are not subjected to somuclr loss. This reduct ion or Harana varies also with thenature of the planet. In the case of benef ics, the amount ofHarana is half of what i t is in the case of malef ics. The Moon,Jupiter, Venus and wel l -associated Mercury are benef ics whi lethe Sun, Mars, Saturn and badly aff l icted Mercury are malef ics.

l f there are two or more planets in any of thesesix houses,the reduct ion must be appl ied only to the strongest planet ineach of the houses.

Satrukshetra HaranaAfter the Chakrapatha Harana is made, Satrukshetra Harana

must be appl ied. This is based on the posit ion of planets intheit in imical houses. When a planet occupies an inimicalsign, one-third of the term obtained after Chakrapatha Haranamust be deducted. This reduction should not be made if theplanet is retrograde or vakra. Some authors say that Mars isexempted from Satrukshetra Harana, whi le othels claim onlyvakra planets must be considered. The Sanskrit word used isvakra. By this is meant both Mars and retrogression. But forall practical purposes, both planets in rettogressi,rn and Marsare not subjected to Satrukshetra Harana.

Astangata HaranaAsta means combustion. When a planet is very close to

the Sun ! t seems to lose al ! i ts v i tal is ing inf luences by beingabsorbed by the Sun's intense power, so much so that i tbecomes practically useless. Therefore when a planet is withincertain degrees from the Sun, it is said to be in combustionand one-half of the term left after the Chakrapatha and Satru-kshetra Haranas are caried out must be deducted. When tho

too flow lo Judge I Horoscopc

Moon is 12'forwards or backwards of the Sun, he is Astangata.l f Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn ara 17e,14o,11o,10o and 50 respectively either backwards or forwards of theSun, they get combust. Mereury and Venus, if retrograde, getcombust only when 12 and 8o forwards or backwards respec-tively of the Sun. But it must be noted that Venus and Saturnare exempt from Astangata Harana even when combust asalmost al l authori t ies agree on this point.

Krurodaya HaranaWhen one or more malef ics occupy the Lagna, leduction

due to their presence must be made in the term alreadyobtained after the reductions due to Chakrapatha. Satrukshetraand Astangata Haranas have been mads.

This is done by multiplying the number of Amsas thatLagna has passed by the total of the plgnetary terms. Theproduct is divided by 109. The quotient so obtained is deduc-ted from the total term of life. The remainder is convertedinto months, days, etc., and added on to the quotient whichrepresents years.

lf malefic in the Ascendant is aspected by a benefic, theHarana fraction so obtained is half of what it would otherwisebe. lf two or rnore planets occupy the Lagna, tho planetnearest to the Lagna_degree must be taken into account. .Thus

if Lagna is 150 of a sign and Mars is 20. and Saturn 2bo of thesame sign, preference is given to ths nearest planet, namely.Mars.

The method of Pindayu is best explained by an illustration :Chart No.33.-8orn 8-8-1912 at 7-SS p.m. ( t .S.T.)

The Amsayu MethodThe Amsayu ( longevity due to Navamsa) is held by

Bhattotpala to be the only correct method. Manitha andSarcval isuggest that Amsayu should be appl ied only when theLagna lord is more powerful than the Sun and the Moon.Whatever the divergent views held in regard to the circum-stances under which the di f ferent methods of longevity deter-minat ion are to be appl ied, i t seems to be clear that Varaha-mihira and his i l lustr ious commentator Bhattotpala haveapproved the Amsayu Method as of much impoilance.

Sreepathi has dealt with Amsayu in his Paddhat i but asusual, the average reader f inds i t di f f icul t to understand themethod, not lo mention of i ts pract ical appl icat ion because thelanguage and terminology employed are too tough.

('onccrning tbe Eigbtb House 10,

According to Satyacharya, the longitude (sphuta) of aplanet is first converted into minutes (karas). This is dlvidedby 200. The quotient denotes the toiar number of Navams'passed by a planet from the first point of Aries. The quotientis again divided bv 12 to obtain the number of Navamsaspassed in the sign considered. This number denotes the years.The remainder will give the fraction of a year granted by fheparticular planet.

The longitude of the Lagna is also subjected to the samocalculations to get period of life it grants.i The period so granted by a planet is subject to bothBharana (increase) and Harana (reduction) in the foltowingmannel :

(a) A planet when exalted or retrograde gives thrice thegtumber of years obtained by the above calculations.

(b) A planet when vargottama or occupying ownNavamsa or own Rasi oi own Drekkana gives twice the numberof years.

(c) Where a planet is to bo mult ipl ied twice or thr icedue to its situation according to both (a) and (6), the muttipti-cation is to be done only once by the strongest factor.

The reduct ions are the same as in the pindayu Method.(d) Chakrapatha Harana: The roductions in respact o

Chakrapatha are as per detai ls given on page 99 for pindayu.(e) Satrukshetra Harana: Every planet in an inimical

house loses one'third the term of rife reft after chakrapathareduction. This reduction, however, does not apply to Marsand letrograde planets.

Other Methods

There are several other mathematical methods of determin-

ing longevity l ike Jeevasarmayu, etc. , but we feel that their

exposit ion in these pages is not necessary. The most rel iable

mathenrat ical method, in our humble view, is that of Jaimini '

This has been elaborately dealt with, with examples, in our

book Stucties in Jaimini AstrologY, to which readers'maytefet,

in case they are interested in learning the Jaimini method'

Ashtakavarga method is equal ly important ' But, i t does

not seem to be quite reliable. The Ashtakavarga method of

longevity determinat ion has been bxplained in detai l in our

book Asftakavarga System of Prediction'

Yet another method given in classical texts which seems,

in our experience, to be over-simplified is to add the longitudes

of Saturn, Jupiter, lhe Sun and the Moon. This gives a point

in the zodiac after expunging mult iples of 12o' In the case of

short , nt iddle and long l i fe, death occurs wlren Saturn t tansi ts

over this point in his f i rct , second and third cycles respect ively '

Al though Jaimini 's method. Pindayurdaya and Amsayurdaya

yield fair ly accurate results, i t is wise to determine longevity on

the basis of the strength of the chart and the Dasas and Bhukt is.

The l i rst step would be to see i f a given chart belongs to Bala-

r ishta, Alpayu, Madhyayu or Poornayu, on the basis of the

combinat ions given earl ier. Then, longevity can be f ixed by

determining the most powerful marakas or death- inf l ict ing

planets.

under the capt ion "Determinat ion of Longevity. , , the pr inciptesfor deterrnining the ki i ler-planets. In this chapter we proposeto deal with the same subject in somewhat greater detail, evenat the risk of repetition, so that the reader can understand rhesubject more thorough ly.

Deaih deal ing or maraka planets can be divided into 3groups :

(a) Pr imary Determinants of Death,(b) Secondary Determinants of Deat lr , and(c) Tertiary Determinants of Death.Printary Determinants of Death: The 3rd and the Bth

house are the houses of l i fe. The 12th houses from these two.namely, the 2nd and the 7th are the houses of death.

(a) The 2nd and 7th lords cause death.(b) The occupants, part icular ly malef ics, of the 2nd and

Ttlr houses.(c) The planets, especi'ally malefics, associating with tlre

Znd and 7th lords.of these, the planets in conjunct ion with the 2nd and 7ffr

lords are the most powerful in causing death.Secondary Determinants of Death :

(a) Benef ic planets in associat ion with tho 2nd arrd 7thlords are less powerful in causing death than male{icplanets.

(b) Lords of the 3rd and rhe gth.(c) The lord of the 3rd or 8th house associating wiilr the

strongest of them can cause death in his period :(a) the lord of the gth house(b) rhe planet occupying the gt l r house(c) the planet aspect ing the Bth house(d) the lord of the 22nd Drekkana(e) the planet in associat ion with the gth lord(f) the lord of the 64rh Navamsa occupied by the Moon(g) the bitter enemy of the gth loro.The 8th house is the house of rife and if affticted termi-

associat ion or occupat ion wi l l cause death.l f the Lagna lord is in the 6th, gth or the 12th houses with

Rahu or Ketu, death takes ptace in the Dasa of the planet'associat ing with Lagna lord or in that of the gth lord. l f Lagna

l f Lagna is a Seershodaya sign (Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra,Scorpio and Aquarius), death takes place in the periods of thelord of the 2nd or Lagna or of Rahu according as Lagna is amovable, fixed or common sign. lf the Lagna is a Prushtodayasign (Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Sagit tar ius and Capricorn), deathmay come about in the periods of the lord of the LagnaDrekkana, the planet aspected by the lord of Lagna Drekkanaand the planet in conjunct ion with the lord of the LagnaDrekkana respectively if the rising sign is movable, fixed orcommon.

Death- inf l ict ing Transits

Standard classical works on astrology give several methodsbased on transi ts of certain planets by which the period ofdeath may be gauged with a fair degree ol accuracy. Deathindicated on the basis of t ransi ts can happen only when thedirect ional inf luences in the bir th charts warrant. Otherwisemisfortunes such as i l l -health, loss of money, misundorstaningswith ki th and kin and separat ions, may happen. Readers mustclear ly bear this in mind when interpret ing the fol lowingcombinat ions bearing on f iansi ts.

Saturn; the Ayushkaraka, is also the Mrutyukaraka. When

Conceroing the Eighth Housc rl3

Saturn passes through the housss occupied by the 8th lord ot

the | 2th lord from Lagna, death occurs. Passage of Saturn

through these houses or thsir trines with reference to anyother

house in the horoscope results in the destruction of that house.

Saturn's transi t of the sign (or i ts t r ines) occupied by the

lord of the 22nd Drekkana or Mandi br ings about deathWhen Saturn passes through the sign (Rasi and Navamsa)

denoted by the dif ference obtained by subtracting the longitude

of Saturn f tom that of Mendi, death is l ikely. Add up the longi '

tudes of the 8th, 12th and 6th lords. Saturn passing throughthe sign (or i ts t r ines) indicated by the sum indicates death'Saturn's transi t of the sign as far removed from Mandi asMandi is f rom the 8th lord is also a fateful t ransi t .

Jupiter also indicates death when he arr ives at I s ign that

is tr iangular to the one occupied by the 8th lord. His transi t

through the Rasi (or i ts t r ines) rosult ing from the sum of thelongitudes of the Lagna, the Sun and Mandi causes death.When Jupiter closses the Rasi indicated by the sum of thelongitudes of Jupiter and Rahu or through i ts tr ines, death can

be expected.When the Sun transi ts the Dwadasamsa he occupies in

Rasi, or the Navamsa occupied by the 8th lord or the Navamsaoccupied by Lagna lord or the trines of any one of these signs,death may be apprehended. When the Sun passes through the6th ,7 th o r the 12 th house f rom Venus, then a lso death ispossible.

When the Moon crosses the Rasi or Navamsa occupied bythe 8th lord or the Sun or their t r ines, death is l ikely. Addtogether the longitudes of Mandi and the Moon. The signindicated by the sum can also cause death when the Moon

The transi ts of Jupiter through the signindicated by the Navamsa, of Saturn through that of Dwada-samsa and the Sun through the one (or i ts t r ines) indicated bythe Drekkarra indicates death The Lagna denoted by the sumof the Lagna, the Moon and Mandi indicates the t ime of death.

Out of a total of 35 units of maraka, Saturn and Mercuryeach get 6 units whi le the Sun gets the next highest numberof 5 units. As the lord of the gth and powedully aspected by

1r8 How to Judge a Horoscopo

Jupiter, the Sun loses the maraka power in his Dasa, but woutdproduce the same in the Bhukti within the Dasa of anothermalef ic. Mercury Dasa comes very late in l i fe (being also Dasaat bir th) so that possibi l i ty of death in his Dasa is out ofquest ion. Saturn Dasa wi l l come in the nat ive,s gOth year,which is far too late. Saturn by vir tue of his inherent aff in i tywith Rahu (Sanivad Rahu) delegates his maraka or kiltingpower to Rahu.

Rahu, i t wi l l be seen, occupies the 3rd house and is inassociat ion with Mercury, ford of the 7th from Lagna and whoowns the 8th fronr the Moon in Navamsa. As Rahu happensto be a malef ic associate of the 7th lord he has every qual i f i -cat ion to inf l ict death in his Dasa. As we have already not iced,Saturn has the largest number of uni ts for k i l l ing next to Mor-cury who cannot do his job; and as Saturn himself car. tnotcause death, he must natural ly c lelegate l r ls power on the planetoccupying his sign. Such a planet would be Rahu.

Rahu is in the 8th f iom the Moon. Hence Rahu gets thopower to ki l l in his Dasa. Mercury Dasa rules at bir th with abalance of 5 years 1 month 6 days. Then the Dasas of Ketu,Venus, Sun, Moon and Mars last for S0 years br inging the totalto 55 years 1 month 6 days from bir th. This wi l l be upto about7-3-1951. Then Rahu Dasa commences. When w i l l he k i l t ?His Dasa er, tends for 18 years. Wil l Rahu spare the nat ive al lthe 18 years ? Kelu is a l ikely candidate, Ketu should partakeof the character ist ics of the Sun but as the Sun himself has Sunits, Ketu has only 4 units of maraka power so that he wouldrather assume the responsibi l i ty himself than al low Ketuto do it.

Gochara inf luences must also synchronise with the t ime ofdeath. The sub periods of Rahu, jupi ter, Saturn, Mercury,

Conccrning tho Eightb Housc llg

Ketu and Venus in the Dasa of Rahu last for 14 years 6 months18 days. This wi l l br ing the age to about 69 years 7 months24 days. Venus Bhukt i in Rahu Dasa ends by about 2b-9-1965ftom which date Sun Bhukt i commences. The Sun as we havealready seen owns the 2nd from the Moon Lagna and occupiesthe 7th maraka from the Moon whi le he is placed in the 2ndfrom Lagna. In the Navamsa again he owns the 7th from theMoon and is associated with the 2nd lord from Lagna. More-over he is a bi t ter enemy of Rahu and in Rasi the major andsub-lords are in dwirdwadasa (2112) while in Amsa, they arein shasitashtaka \6,8). Thus the Sun is fully empowered toki l l in his Bhukt i which runs between 25-9-1965 and1 9 - 8 - 1 s 6 6 .

When maraka Dasa is operat ing the momentum of the lastsignal for death is given by Ayushkaraka Saturn in his transi ts.Death occurs w.hen Saturn in his transit passes through theRasi and Amsa occupied by him at birth or its trines. Saturnoccupios Libra in Rasi and Gemini in Navamsa. Aquarius is intrine lo both these signs. Saturn enters Aquarius by February1964. He wit l occupy Aquarius Rasi and Gemini Navamsa byFebruary-March 1966.

Concerning tbc Eighth Housc

The Eighth House.' Sagittarius rises in the 8th houseaspecred by 9th and 1Oth lord saturn.

The Eighth Lord: Jupiter is in the 9th debilitated but hasexchanged signs with 9th lord Saturn.

Ayushkaraka .' Saturn is in the 11th in mutual exchangeof signs with 11th lord Jupiter in his own constel lat ion gainingstrength t l rereby. He is with 7th lord Mars and Rahu, bothVargottama.

Considered f rom the Moon.' The Moon being in Lagna,we f ind the same planetary si tuat ions recur.

Conclusion.' Lagna lord Venus is in the 12th in anasterism ruled by 5th occupant Ketu who is Vargottama andwho, in turn, is in a constel lat ion ruled by 4th lord Sun. TheSun occupies a kendra and is exalted in

-Navamsa which

indirectly strengthens Lagna lord Venus. The Lagna itself isvely powerful ly s i tuated occupied by the Sun and exaltedVargottama Moon, al l in a lunar constel lat ion. (This constel-lation is particularly strong since its lord, the Moon, is verystrongly disposed.) The Lagna is aspected by 8th and 11thlord Jupiter who primarily gives the results of a strong Saturn.Saturn also aspects Lagna and he is strong for two reasons:(1) occupat ion of own constel lat ion and (2) exchange of s ignswith 11th lord Jupiter. This extraordinary strength of theLagna places the chart in the Purnayu group.

The nat ive died in 1903 in Mercury Dasa, Saturn Bhukt i .Mercury is the 2nd lord placed in the 12th. He is the 3rd lordfrom Navamsa Lagna and the 2nd lord from Navamsa Moon.His Dasa becomes fatal. The Bhukti lord Saturn is with marakaMars in Rasi and aspected by thebecoming a maraka himself.

Unnatural DeathRules handed down to us from the ancient writers are

not unworkable. Many of them are appl icable with sui tablemodif icat ions. Unnatural deaths are those which occur due toexternal agents. They may be sudden and unexpected as inthe case of accidents by fire, drowning, traffic accidents otoven murder. They may also be pre-meditated as in the caseof suicide. Nevertheless they are not caused by disease or oldage al though i t is qui te possible a sick man may by run overby a car or an old woman commits suicide by jumping downfrom a height. The cause of death is what differentiateswhether the death is unnatural . ln most cases unnaturaldeaths are invariably violent.

, The ninth house signi f ies father, l ighteousness, preceptor,prand-chi ldren, intui t ion, rel ig ion, sympathy, fame, chari t ies,leadership, long journeys and communicat ion with spir i ts.

In iudging the events ruled by the ninth house, the fol low-ing factors must be taken into account, viz., (a) The House,(b) l ts Lord, (c) l rs Occupants anct (d) The Karaka or signi f i -cator. The Sun is the karaka for father. yogas formed in the9th house or involving the gth lord produce their own results.These considerations must be judged from the Navamsa chartalso. The ninth house, al though i t denotes several s igni f ica-tions, is primarily concerned with father and long distancetravel.

Results of the Lord of the Ninth House being si tuatedin Dif ferent Houses

In the First House.. When the ninth lord is placed in thef i rst house, the nat ive becomes a sel f-made man. He earnsmuch money through his own efforts. l f the gth lord combineswith the Lagna lord in the f i rst houso and associates with oris aspected by a benefic planet, the native is fortunate withr iches and happiness.

Concerning the Ninth Houso f8l

ln the Second House : When the ninth lord is placed inthe 2nd house benef ic ial ly, the nat ivo's father is a r ich andinf luent ial man. The nat ive acquires wealth from the father.Malef ics inf luencing the ninth lord in the 2nd house ruin ordestroy pa terna I property.

In the Third House ; lf the lord of the ninth is placed inthe 3rd, the nat ive makes his lortune through wri t ing,speeches and orator ial abi l i t ies. The nat ive's father wi l l be aman of moderato means whi le the nat lve advances his fortunethrotrgh his co-borns. l f malef ics aff l ict the ninth lord in the3rd house, the nat ive may land in trouble through his wri t ingswhich may be lnat ional and even obscene depending uponthe nature of af l l ict ion. He may be forced to sel l his poternalproperty because of t roubles occurr ing through his wri t ings.

ln the Fourth House .' The nintlr lord in the 4th housegives vast landed propert ies and beaut i ful bungalows. Or thenat ive may earn through estate and land deal ings. His motherwi l l be a r ich and fortunate woman. He wi l l inheri t hisfather 'simmovable properties. lf the ninth lord is atflicted in the 4thhouse, the nat ive may not have any domesl ic unhappiness'His ear!y l i fe wi l l be crossed by miseries due to a hard-heartedfather or disharmony between parents. l f Rahu aff l icts, mothermay be a divorcee or l iv ing separately from his father.

ln the Fifth House.' The ninth lord in the fifth housegives a prosperous and famous father. The nat ive's sons mayalso be very fortunate in l i fe and enjoy success and dist inc-t ion.

ln the Sixth House : The ninth lord in the sixth housegives a sickly father aff l icted with chronic diseases. l f benef icsf lank such a sixth hcuse, the nat ive may gain wealth throughsuccessful termirrat ion of father 's legal problenrs, and by way

182 How to Judgo a Hororcopo

of compensation, costs, etc. lf malefics. afflict the ninth lord

in the sixth house, the native's attempts to make his fortune

may be frustrated through litigation involving his father ot

debts contracted bY him.ln the Seventh House ; The native may go abroad and

prosper there. His father may also plosper in foleign lands.

He will get a noble and lucky wife. lf ascetic yogas are present

in the chart , the nat ive may seek spir i tual guidance and ful f i l .

ment abroad . ll asubhayogas spoil the ninth lord, the father

may meet with his death abroad.tn the Eighth House.' The native may lose his father

early in life. lf malefics afflict the eighth house in such a case,

he may suffer severe poverty and heavy responsibility due to

father's death lf benefics influence the ninth lord, the native

may inherit substantial paternal property. Afflictions may causo

the native to abandon traditions or damage teligious institu-

tions and trusts set up by the family.tn the Ninth House .' The ninth lord in the ninth house

gives a long-lived and prosperous father. The native will be

rel igiously incl ined and be chari table. He wi l l t ravel abroad

and earn money and distinction thereby. lf afflicted by malefics

or if the 9th lord occupies the 6th, 8th or 12th from Navamsa

Lagna, the nat ive's father wi l l d ie early.

tn the Tenth House : lf the ninth lord is in the tenth

house, the native will become very famous and powerful. He

will be genetous and occupy posts of authority. He will earn

much wealth and acquire every kind of comfort and luxury.

His means of l ivel ihood wi l l be r ighteous and he wi l l be a law

abiding ci t izen.ln the Eleventh House.' The native will be exceedingly

r ich. He wi l l have powerful and inf luent ial f r iends, His father

Concerning tho Nintb Houso

wil l be a wel l -known and wol l -placed man. l f af f l icted, un-fai thful f r iends wi l l destroy the nat ive's wealth through self ishscheming and fraud.

In the Twelfth House.' The position of the lord of theninth house in the twel l th house gives a poor background. Thenat ive wi l l suffer much and wi l l have lo work very hard in l i fe.Even then 6uccess nray not come to him. He wi l l be rel igiousand noble but always in want. Fattrer may die early leavingthe nat ive penni les.r .

These combinat ions are very general and cannot be appl iedwithout t i ,k ing into account the concerrred karaka and the otherplanetary disposit ions in the chart . l f the ninth lord is verypowerful , he becomes capable of conferr ing fortune even i fplaced in a rnalef ic house. l f the ninth lord is aff l icted but theninth house is benef ic ial ly disposed, the intensity of the male-f ic results wi l l be great ly reduced. Great ski l l is required ininterpreting the bhava and in no case is a literal application ofthe results mentioned above desirable.

Other lmportant Combinat ions

' . The fol lowing are some of the yogas culted from ancientsources:-

When the Sun occupies the gth, 8th, 11th or 12th housewhich should be a f ixed sign and the Lagna is not aspected bythe Moon, the father wi l l not be present at the t ime of thebir th of the chi ld. He may be in his own town. When the Sun insuch a posit ion occupies a movable sign, the father wi l l bea.way in a foreign country at the bir th of the chi ld. l f the Sun,Mars and Saturn combine in the 4th or the lOth house, theb i r th i s o f a pos thumous ch i ld .

Wlren the Sth or the 9th house from the Lagna be a male_f ic sign and is occupied by the Sun, the father of ths chi ld

183

wil l d iesoon. TheSun and malef ics in the 1Oth house fromthe Moon also indicate early death of father. l f Saturn andMars conjoin in Aries, Leo or Aquarius which should be thesth, 7th or the 9th house from the Sun, the father of the chi ldwill be in some sort of captivity at the time of its birth. Whenthe Sun is aff l icted by conjunct ion with malef ics, the chi ld 'sfather's life will be adversely influenced. lf the Moon, Mars,Mercury and Saturn be together, the nat ive wi l l have twofathers and two mothers. That is, in other words, he may betaken in adopt ion. The Sun aspect ing the Ascendant indicatesthe nat ive may inheri t wealth from his father. l f the gth housebs a movable sign or the 9th lord be in a movable sign ei therin conjunct ion with or aspected by Saturn and the 12th lordis strong, the native will be adopted by another.

lf the 4th lord conjoins the gth lord in the 6th house, thenat ivo's father wi l l be a prof l igate. When rhe sth lord is abenef ic and the Sun is also benef ic ial ly disposed, the nat ivewi l l g ive happiness to the father. l f the sth lord or the Sun isaff l icted by Saturn, Rahu or Mandi, the nat ive wi l l be a sourceof misery to the father. lf the Ascendant of the native happensto be the same sign as that r is ing in the 10th house of thefather, the nat ive wi l l be a dut i ful son. l f Jupiter in the 9thhouse occupies his own Navamsa, the nat ive wit l be endowedwith a high sense of f i l ia l duty. l f the Ascendants of the nat iveand his father are mutual ly in, the 6rh and 8th, the pair wi l la lways be at var iance. l f the Sun is in an inimical s ign, thenat ive wi l l studiously cause pain to his father. l f the Sun andMoon be in tr ine to Mars and Saturn, the chi ld wi l l be aban-doned by both parents. Saturn, Mars and Rahu in the 11th orthe gth house from the.

In predicting results, the strengths of the karaka Sun, 9thlord and other planets inf luencing hirn by aspect and associa-t ion, the running Dasas and Bhukt is must be judiciously

assessed first. Conclusions must be drawn only after the entirechart is analysed" No planet, by itself. if affllcted or benefi-c ial ly disposed, can ent irely inf luence the signi f icance of theninth Bhava without baing itself affected by the other relevantfactors.

Father

The longerr i ty of father is judged on the strength of the9th house and the posit ion of the natural s igni f icator, the Sun.The 7th and 8th houses from the 9th house and other marakahouses and planets from i t help in est imating the span of l i feof the father. Sometimes maraka planets with reference to thekaraka Sun can also be used to judge death of father. Aff lic-tions to the Sun or his occupataon of maleflc houses results inearly death of father. lf the 9th lord is In a kendra or the 11thhouse or aspoets the 9th house or is otherwise fortified, thenative's father lives long.

Conclusion .' The ninth house and lord are both quiteaff l icted. The presence of karaka Sun in the 9th house with8th lord Jupiter is not conducive to longevity of father.

The fol lowing planets can give the results of the 9th housewith reference to father.

The nat ive's Y€ther died in January 1973 in Jupiter Daso,Rahu Bhukt i . Since the gth lord is aff l icted togCIther withthe Sun, the father cannot l ive very long. But the posit ionof the 9th lord in a kendra in a benef ic ial constel lar ion cannotdeprive the nat ive of her father very early in l i fe ei ther. Saturnis one of the aff l ictors to the 9th lord as the const i tuent of thepapakartarr yoga which rneans his Dasa must take awaythe father, who died just hefore the eommencement of theDasa.

The 9th house from Lagna, the 9th lordMercury and karaka Sun are well placed with slight afflictions.The 9th lord occupying the constollation of the Lagna lord andaspecting the 9th house are impoftant factors conducive to thelong life of the father.

The rgthlord Sun occupies the constellation of Mercury who as the 2rtdlord is a maraka from the 9th house. Saturn, the 9th lordfrom the Moon, is also in a constellation ruled by J.upiter, 2ndlord from the gth from the Moon. These weaken the gth houseto some extent.

these houses indicates foreign travel in the periods of airpro-priate planats.

When the planet occupying the 12th house from that ofthe lord of the Lagna is wel l placed in an exalted or fr iendlyhouse or is aspected by a friendly or exalted planet, the nativewi l l prosper in his homeland. l f there is no ptanet in the 12thhouse, the lord of the house can be considered instead.

lf the 12th lord from the sign occupied by the Lagna lordis in an inimical or debi l i tated state or is otherwise weak. thenative goes abroad. lf rhe 12th lord from the sign occupied bythe lord of Lagna is in a quadrant or ttine or in the Ascendan!and in a fr iendly, own or exaltat ion sign and is wel l placed,the nat ive goes abroad to countr ies that are prosperous. l f theLagna lord is in a movable sign aspected by planets in movablesigns, then also thers wi l l be foreign travel and the nat iveprospers abroad. The Dasas of planets in the 9th house oraspecting the gth house, the 9th lord and 12th house are verylmportant in predicting foreign travel or residence.

Besides the al l - imponant 9th houss rul ing long journeys,the 3rd house governs short journeys, the 7th house rulesforeign travel and the.12th house, long journeys and residencein distant lands.

We have found in our experience the karakatwa or lord-ship or Bhava occupat ion of planets that indicate foreigntravel gives a clue to the reasons for tlavel abroad. Forinstance, if the 4th and 9th lords are related, one may goabroad for higher studies or on a teaching mission. l f the 9thand 10t lr lords are related i tmay be for reasons of career andprofessional advancement. l f the 6th lord is also involved,the nat ive may visi t a foreign country on an otf ic ial assignment sponsored by his employer. lf Mercury is the planet,

ln Chart No. 99 the Lagna lord occupies Lagna itself. TheSun and Mercury occupy the 12th house from Venus. The sunis exalted. The native, an heir to a large astate, being the sonof a newspaper-magnato, and himserf invorved in it, his fonunetoo bloomed in the country of his birrh.

Note in both charts the Dasas of planets in the gth houseor ol the 8th lord have not operated sofar. InChart No.9g, thenative was born in the Sun,s Dasa followed so far by theMoon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter and Saturn Dasas. Although therehas been foreign travel in retevant Bhuktis, the Dasa lords nothaving a direct bearing on the 9th house, have not given resi_dence abroad so.far. ln Chart No. 9g, the native was born inthe Dasa of Venus. He has so far gone through the Dasas ofthe Sun,. the Moon, Marsand Rahu. Here also the Dasa lordsaie not directly involved with the gth house unA t uuJ oniygiven foreign journeys. Foreign residence is unlikely sinceLagna lord occupies Lagna in a fixed sign. Untess tho place-ment of the Ascendant and other pranets warrants residenceabroad, the Dasas by themsetves cannot give these results.

of 4th lord took the native abroad in Ketu Dasa for reasons of

oducat ion. In Rahu Dasa, the inf luence of Mars as 1Oth lord

on the 9th lord made itself felt and travel abroad was mainly

because of the nativs's political career.We see tho 12th lord Mercury occupies Libra associating

with Venus in his moolatrikona sign. The narive was a very

popular political figure in the country of his bitth.

The first and most important happening in the life of the

nat ive of Chart No. 101 was his tr ip to England for educat ion.

This was in the Sun's Dasa, Jupiter 's Bhukt i . The Sun is in a

watery sign in Scorpio aspected by the 7th lord Mars. From the

Moon the Sun occupies the 4th house governing educat ion'

Lagna lord Venus is in Scorpio. and the gth and 12th lord Mer-

cury occupies Lagna with Rahu who is Vargottama' The

personality of the native must therefore necessarily be inf luenced

by a foreign background and this was possible because his

education was abroad. Jupiter, the Bhukti lord, is in the 3d

and occupies a movable sign. In the Moon Dasa he came back

to his own country where he distinguished himself in scientific

circles. The 12th lord Mercury is in Lagna aspected by Saturn

from his own sign indicating prosperity and success in the

country of his birth. Rahu Dasa conferred on the native great

name and fame as a scient ist of internat ional reputat ion and

gave wide travel l ing al l over the world. Rahu is in Lagna in a

movable sign with Mercury. Mercury is the 9th and 12th lord

and Venus the sign-dispositor of Rahu is in Scorpio al lowing

extensive travel. Rahu is with Mercury, the karaka for intel-

lectual leaming and it was because of his scientific knowledge

and eminence that he went abroad.The native of Chart No. 102 went abroad twice, both

tlmes on a spiritual mission. This was in Jupiter Dasa and

XryConcerning the Tenth House

The most difficult and at the same time the most importan-part in the analysis of a horoscope is the determination or occutpation or profession. In fact, the number of avocations todayis so vast and varied that i t is nearly impossible to ascertainwith any degree of accuracy the exact nature of profession.There are several difficulties that present themselves before anastrologer in his task of adapt ing ancient astrological pr inciplesto suit current professions. In former times occupations werefew and the differentiation between one occupation and anotherwas clear ly marked. But proper and judicious invest igat iorrinto all the relevant factors will rcveal whiclr vocation and thedegree of success one may achieve in it.

The tenth house refers to occupation, profession, temporalhonours, foreign travels, self-respect, knowledge and dignityand means of l ivel ihood.

' Pr imary Considerat iong

Before analysing the tenth Bhava, one must study thegeneral strengttr of the (a) the house, (b) its lord, (c) itsoccupants and (d) the Karaka or indicator or natural significatorof the 1Oth house. Dif ferent yogas in the horoscope bearingon the 1Oth house, i ts lord and Karaka also inf lur.nce tho 1Othhouse. The Navamsa chart must also be taken into account.

Other lmportant Considerat ions

Astrology is a science of tende,ncies and predictions do notimply fatal ism ot absolute predeterminat ion. Consequent ly,i t is only one's natural apt i tudes or leanings for speci{ ic occu-pat ions that can be known from the horoscope. Therefore, nodef ini te astrological factors can be f ixed for each vocat ion.

Before judging the profession i t is necessary to ascertainthe mental , intel lectual and physical abi l i t ies of the nat ive by acareful examinat ion of the strength or weakness otthe Sun, theMoon and the Lagna respect ively. The posit ion of Mercury isequal ly impoi lant. For, though classical astrology has assignedthe mental out look of a person to tho posit ion of the Moon,yet our observat ions go to show that as the planet Mercuryrules buddhi or intel l igence, his auspicious disposit ion isequal ly important in order to measure one's mental make-up.When either the Moon or Mercury receives a series of evilaspects part icular ly those of Rahu and Saturn, one lacks thestrength of mind needed to faca cr i t ical s i tuat ions and wouldbe unf it for professions involving responsibility and the abilityto meet cr i t ical s i tuat ions.

It would, in our experience, be reasonable to expect aplanet in the tenth or rul ing the 1oth house to have more inf lu-ence over the vocat ion than a planet of general prominence in

C,ooccroing tbe Tcoth Houso ?AS

any other pan of the chart. This however is different fromimplying that the ruler of the 1Oth or a planet in the 1Oth housecan be considered a fixed factor for any of the professions. Astatistical study of over 50 charts has revealed that it is only in15 charts that the 1oth lord and the 1oth Bhava were def ini tefactors in determinlng the native's profession. But the mostpowerful plsnot in the chart will also havo a beadng onplofession.

Going back to thc ability to meet situatlong, a planet in tho1Oth house receiving e powedul aspecl from a benefic denotesthat the individual is not lacking in the ability of the nature ofthe aspecting planet that he could make a success of it. lf theSun and Rahu are in the 10th house aspected by Jupiter, thenative may preside over political meetings and take interest inpolitical activities; but politics will not be tho native's profes-sion. l f the Sun and Mars are in the 1Oth house with Marsfort i f ied and in digni ty, the nat ive may be a medical man butwould be interested in pol i t ics and even invotved in i t .

For purposes of study, we may classify the various occupa-tions into six broad groups or categories, viz., (1) Intellectualavocations, (2) economic avocations, (3) aesthetic activities,(4) routine works, (5) mechanical professions and (6) trades.

This classification is too general because it is impossibleto draw a line of distinction between the different categories.An author, whose main work is intellectual, may spend a partof his time in composing and printing or insurance business.In his occupation, therefore, both the intellectual and economicaspects come in. There are instances when people suddenlychange their careers from teaching to business. This isexplained by the fact that there is a special stimulus to cettainh

2{a How to Jud3o r Hororcopo

qual i t ies at certain ages, probably depending upon the natureof the directional influences (Dasas and Bhuktis) operatingthen.

Taking the f i rst group-lntel lectual avocat ions-histor ians,mathematic ians, scient ists, phi losophers, doctors, astronomers,astrologers, psychologists, psycho-analysts, iudges, lawyers,etc., come under this group. To the economic gtoup may beessigned politicians, bank wolkers, insurance workers, actua-r ies, industr ial ists, mi l l -owners and manufacturers. Musicians,actors, singers, dancers, dramatists, cinema stars, artistesbelong to the Aesthetic group. Routine workers include thelalge number of clerks, shop assistants, waitors and the generalstaff in off ices, govetnment and business organisations.Labourers, agriculturists, carpenters, attisans, mechanics,compositors, mi l l -workers, etc. , belong to the fr f th group, Thesixth, vr2.. t raders include the rank and f i leof merchants, book-sellers, publishers, stationers, grocers, printers, journalists,manufacturing representatives, etc.

Each one of these avocations can be divided into a num-ber of divisions. For instance, an artist may be a sculptor,photographer or etchet ; a musician may be a violinist, vocalist,composer or f lut ist . An engineer may be an inventor, designeror a mechanic and so on. Hence i t would be impossible tomake an entire catafogue of professions and group them tosuit astrological factors

General ly speaking Jupiter and Mercury refer to intel lec-tual avocat ions, Venus to aesthet ic professions, the Sun, theMoon and Mars to economic occupat ions, Mercury to traders,Saturn to hard working jobs and Rahu and Ketu to rout ineworkers.

In a chaft there may be brends of different pfanetary infru-ences. A philosopher and a scientist are both intellectualworkers : but in the former caec Jupiter will be prominent andin the latter, Mercury. lf these influences are further affectedby those of the Sun or Man, thcn servico under the Srate isindicated.

Mercury ir l very rmportant planet for creative or fictionalwri t ing. Jupiter cnd Venus inf luencing Mercury in the lothhouse mey give rire to I poet.

Mercury is powerfully ptaced in the 4th house in Libra(Chart No. 114). Mercury combines with 4th lord Venus who

Three irfstances draw our attention in the matter of

deciding ptofession. They are :-(1 )- When the 1Oth house is not occupied by any planet

(2) When tho 1Oth house is occupisd by a planet

(3) When ths 10th house is occupied by more than onoplanet.

Taking the f i rst : When there is no planet in the 10th

house, take the 1oth lord as ptimary determinant and the lord

of the Navamsa occupied by the 1Oth house as the secondary

determinant. Between thg two, the stlonger planet generally

Indicates the nature of profession.

When the 10th house is occupied by a planet, then of

the lord of the 10th house, its occupant and the lord of the

Navamsa occupied by the 10th lord, the strongest planet

becomes the primary determinant.When ths l Oth houso is occupied by mole than ono planet,

the most powerful planet becomes the prime determinanlprovided there is no conjunction. lf there is a conjunction,

the stronger of the Navamsa lords of these two planets will

give the clue. Or, when th€ differsnt planets 8re mole or less

of equal strength, then thel6 will be a blending of influences

and more than one occupation may be indicated. These

principles are very general and must be adapted suitably. The

1Oth house should be reckoned not only from Lagna but also

from the Moon and the Sun. l t is also common experience

that ths reckoning made from the strongest of these thr€e

centers gives good results in judging occupation'

The Moon sign is Virgo aspected by Saturn. The Lagna wouldemerge lhe strongest of the three and the 1oth lord from hereindicates a military profession.

In deciding the vocat ional determinant, another importantfactor is also to be considered, viz., the planet whose shad-vargas predominate in regard to the 10th lord and the 10thhouse.

ln Chart No. 115, the Ascendant (10 2 rupas) is morepowerful ly than the Moon (8.8 rupas). The 1Orh is occupiedby the Moon. The 1Oth lord is Mercury and he is in the Navamsaof Mars. Mercury occupies six vargas of Mars whi le Mars has3 vargas of the Sun. Though the Moon (occupant of the 1othhouse; is more important than Mercury ( the ruler of the 1Othhouse) yet as the Moon is in a bhava-sandhi (junction point),he is rendered incapable of giving the results of the 1Oth house.Therefore Mercury and his shadvarga strength, viz., lhat otMars, determine profession as being predominantly military.

Rajayogas or Combinat ions for Pol i t ical Power

We reproduce below combinations lot Rajayogas (lives ofcelebrity) produced from classical works.

Three or more planets in exaltat ion or own sign and at thesame time in quadrants give rise to a widely known king. Fiveor more such planets make even an ordinary man a ruler of theearth. lf a native with such combinations is born in a royalfamily without any malef ic yogas or planets being combust,he becomes a ruler. People born in ordinary famil ies with 3planets placed as above become counsel lors or equal to kings

' in power and authori ty but not k ings themselves. Two ormore planets with digbala make a royal nat ive a king whi le 4or moro such planets make even an ordinary man a ruler.Accotding to some wri ters l ike Yavanacharya, when the planetsconcerned are nralefics, then the native becomes a cruel tyrantwhi le benef ics make one a j r :st and vir tuous sovereign.

By a combinat ion and permulat ion, Varahamihira enume-rates 32 kinds of Rajayogas arising under the followingcond i t ions : -

Cooccroiog lbc Tcotb House 887

(1) When Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and the Sun are exalted

with one of them occupying the Ascendant (4 yogas).

(2, When any three of the planets, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter

and the Sun, are exalted with one of them being in the

Ascendant (16 yogas).(3) When any two of these 4 planets are exalted, one of

them being in Lagna and the Moon being in Cancer (12yogas).

(4) When any one of these 4 planets is exalted in the

Ascendant and the Moon is in Cancer (4 yogas).

The Ascendant or the Moon in vargottama (occupying the

same sign in Rasi and Navamsa) is aspected by 4, 5 or 6planets (leaving out the Moon), 44 cases of Rajayoga arecaused.

l f the Lagna lord occupies a quadrant ol the 9th house in

Vargottama Navamsa and the 9th lord, in turn, is in '^altation,

own sign or Vargottama Navamsa, a king is br.rrn' Jupiterexalted in Lagna, the Moon, Venus and Mercury in the 11thhouse and the Sun in Aries gives r ise to a powerful k ing. l fMercury occupies Virgo which is also the Ascendant, Jupiterand the Moon be in Pisces and Saturn and the Moon occupyCapricorn, the nat ive becomes a king.

lf the Sun and the Moon occupy the Ascendant in Aries,Mars occupies Capricorn. Saturn is in Aquarius and Jupiter isin Sagittarius, the person botn in a royal family becomes aking.

According to Varahamihira in his great classic BrihatJataka, a kingdom is obtained during the Dasa or Bhukti of(1) the planet in the Ascendant, or (2) the planet in the 1othhouse from the Ascendant, or (3) the most powerful planet inthe chart.

22

t8t flow to Judgo a Horoscopo

A kingdom is lost during the period (the major poriod orminor period) of (1) a planet in an inimicat s ign or (2) aplanet that occupies the 7th from the sign it rules.

As we have several times pointed out, since Rajayogasoccur in large numbers, a clevel studont should assess theworth of each combination taking into account the chart in'its

entirety.In the horoscope of a ruler-king, dictator, president or

prime minister-we have found in our experience Saturn,sposition when his rays ars properfy blsnded with thos6 of Rahucan give rise to realization of objects, consolidation of thscountiy, establishment of peace and economic prosperity and ahappy and contented populace.

Moon, Rahu and Venus. Lagna occupied by exalted Jupiter

confers Hamsa Yoga, a most beneficial combination while the

Moon occupying Libra, the sign of the balance and causingparivartana with Venus. lord of the 4th, is a yoga par excellenee'

This suggests a personality which though royal is not sugges-

tive of pomp. The coniunction of Saturn and the Sun in the

11th mado him a constitutionat monarch and the nativ9 exer-

cised an influence moro pervasive and lasting than any pow€r

that dictatol or despotic monatch could have, because that

influence proceeded from personal example and devotion to

duty. The Hamsa Yoga has referEnce to tho 1Oth house from

Chandra Lagna which is also responsible for these noble traits'

The Lagna ford in a kendra andvargottama and the gth lord in

exaltation is another powerful Raiayoga. The Full Moon's

disposition in a kendra othet than Lagna is itself a Rajayoga

denoting the biilh of a scion of a royal family. The Full Moon'svatgottama position is yet anothet asset.

The Sun-Saturn combination is no doubt good regarding

career but comes in ths way of domestic harmony as 2nd and7th tords and mutually bitter enemies.

Mars is a yogakaraka and he is in the 2nd house. Saturn

and Mars are in mutual kendras and ars not involved in

mutual destructive aspects. Rahu is confined to an upachaya'

Thus his "political career" was assured til l the end, and no

indications either for frustration or failure is seen in the horo-

scope. Chail No. 195 isof Krishnaraia Wadiyar lV, Maharajaof Mysore.

Fascisttendencies can be present only when the vibrations of Marsand Saturn combine in the 7th, 8th, gth or 10th houses, buthere since it has reference to tho 2nd and 8th houses, thenativs was not a dictator in the sense of Hitler or the Duce.

His chequered pol i t ical career isattributable only to Rahu's association with the Sun in the1Oth houso aspected by Saturn.

The Rajayogas are disposed in a pecul iar manner ' The

Sun as lord of the gth and Mercury as lord of the 1Oth are in

exact conjunct ion. This Dharma'karmadhipa Yoga is highly

signif icant. Mercury is combust and one can contend that this

could be dangerous to the Rajayoga' But the sum total of

the inf luences to which Mercury is subiect must be considered.

The term associat ion' impl ies results that are of mutuaf

signi f icance. In other words, i f saturn and the sun are together

in association with say MercurY, the effects of the yoga

generated by the sun and saturn are delegated or transferred

to Mercury also. A thorough study of standard astrological

works gives ample test imony in support of this statement '

Here 4 planets-the Sun and Mercury within 2o, Rahu nearer

Mercury and Saturn, a l i t t le away- have conjoined' Such

grouping of planets causes col lect ive inf luences'

A planet has 3 main funct ions to perform apart f rom the

subsidiary ones. They are : (a) due to ownership, (b) due to

karakatwa and (c) due to generat ion of yogas. The subsidiary

funct ions are given r ise to by vir tue of associat ion, aspect, etc.

Therefore the Sun's innate funct ion of karakatwa' blended

with the main funct ion of saturn-sun combinat ion plus

saturn,s innate funct ion of karakatwa-should render the

combination taken above as guite effective' Almost all standard

astrological works agree the sun-Mercury combinat ion is

auspicious. According to saraval i i t indicates "f luctuat ing

wealth, pol i te speech, fame, respect, l iked by the king, a great

man, fair- fooking, wealthy and strong" ' Accordingto Jataka'

Mercury, in addition, is subject to the powerful aspect of

Jupiter, lord of Lagna. Mercury's combust ion with the Sun is

said to destroy a person's abi l i t ies rendering him superf ic ial

and devoid of iudgement. But here since Jupitel aspecls

The nat ive became pr ime minister in the Sun Bhukt i ofJupiter Dasa. The Sun has exchanged signs with 1Oth lordyogakaraka Mals. He is aspected by Mars and occupies Leo,the royal s ign, in Navamsa. The Dasa lord is Pre.eminent lyplaced to give Rajayoga results being vakra vargottama inthe 11th house. Moreover both the Dasa and Bhukt i lords arein mutual aspect. This chart carr ies with i t latent seeds forRajabhanga. The only aspect the 1Oth house receives is ofSaturn, a maraka and malef ic for Cancer Lagna. Further heis placed in a constel lat ion ruled by Mercury, the 3rd and12th lord. l t was in Saturn Dasa, Venus Bhukt i . that the nat ivelost power overnight. Not only are the Dasa and Bhukt ifords in shaihtashtaka but by standard astrological rules themutual per iods of Saturn and Venus are fatal to Rajayogas.Venus, the Bhukt i lord, is ecl ipsed in the 6th house. Saturn,the Dasa lord, occupies an unfr iendly constel lat ion.

There are yet other factors, pr imari ly the parivartana yogas,which put the nat ive back in power. This chart is i l lustrat iveof the power of the inter-periodsof Venus and Saturn to damageRajayogas. However, i f the Rajayoga is powerful enough,the bhanga ( loss of power) wi l l be set r ight in appropriateperiods.

The Rajayoga occurs in the 6lh house from Lagna andtherefore must suffer bhanga. Further, the nodes eclipsingthe Rajayoga are a great dangel to the sustenance of the yoga

Neechabhanga Rajayogas

ln the study of career two important sets of planetary

combinat ions are to be noted. Thereare some men born inthe

lap of luxury and wealth but who go down suddenly or gra-

dual ly and lead a most miserable l i fe. There are others bornin the midst of abject misery and poverty but who teach very

eminent social or royal posi t ions. The f i rst set of coniunct ions

is cal led Rajabhanga Yogas and the second, NeechabhangaRajayoga. The word bhanga means breaking away, loss or

ruin. Those who are usual ly styled usurpers of the lhrones of

others may general ly, i f not always, be taken to be men from

humble ranl,.s. The careers of some of the world's greatest

men show clearly the set of combinat ions that go under thename of Neechabhanga Rajayogas.

Chart No. 208 (Hyder Al i ) is a typical case of Neecha-bhanga Rajayoga. The nat ive rose from the lowest posi t ion

of almost nothing to very great power. The Lagna lord Venus

occupies the 4th house. The lord of the Moon-sign Mars

Start ing with absolutely nothing in hispocket and no claims to any educat ion, the nat ive foundedcn empire, trained an army before which the disciptined andarmed troops of Europe could make no head, collected afortune which ranked second to none and exhibited a states-manship which ran without a parallel.

The following ate soms important combinations forNeechabhanga Rajayoga :-

(1) l f benef ics are in the 10th, 1lrh and 3rd housas, Raja-yoga arises.

(2) lf a planet is in debility and the lord of this sign orthe planet who gets exatted there is in kendra from the Moonor Lagna, Rajayoga results.

XVConcerning the Eleventh House

The eleventh house refers to gains, elder brother, friends,acquisi t ions, f reedom from misery, and happy t idings. Anaff l ict ion to the 11th house may result in the loss of brother,fr iends, loss of wealth, misery or unhappy news. The exactnature of the result can be gleaned only after an assessmentof the whole chart and the aff l ict ing planets. To some extenlthe eleventh also concerns mariage.

Primary Considerat ions

In analysing the signi f icat ions of the eleventh Bhava orhouse the general strength of the fol lowing factors must bestudied : (a) the Bhava, (b) i rs lord, (c) the karaka, and(d) the occupants. Yogas in the chart bearing on ths 11thhouse must also be taken into account.

We shal l f i rst study the general combinat ions and theeffects of planets of severally.

Conccrning tbe Elcventb Houso 366

These results are very general and must not be applied

directly without weighing other factors. According to Satya'

charya i l the 11th lord is placed in an evi l constel lat ion such

as the 3rd, sth or 7th from that occupied by the Moon, the

nat ive suffers penury and misery. l f the 11th house is f lanked

on both sides by benef ics or otherwise favourably disposed,

one wi l l have a powerful elder brother. The nat ive wi l l earn

fabulous wealth through his mother. Benef ics in the 11th

house augment the signi f icat ions of the Bhava whi le malef ics

diminish them both qual i tat ively and quant i tat ively.

tmPortant Combinat ions

l f a benef ic planet occupies the 11th Bhava, the nat ive

acquires wealth through honest and noble means. l f malef ics

be in the 11th Bhava, the nat ive lesorts to unfair and unscru-pu[ous methods of earning. lf both benefics and malefics are

there, sometimes unjust means and sometimes just methods

wil l be resorted to. Fort i f ied planets in the 11th house confel

tortunate conveyances, bungalows, and al l comforts. He wi l l

have a noble and beautiful wife and will be fond of good

clothes, food and enjoyments.l f the 11th house he occupied by a weak planet-ecl ipsed,

depressed or defeated in planetary war, or occupying inimical

everything and he wi l t have to wander about without sel f '

ara used for honourable ends such as legi t imate expenses and

The 11th lord wel l placed ih a kendra or tr ikona from theAscendant or malef ics strong in the 11th make tho nat iveimmensely wealthy.

When Mars occupies the 11th house and Lagna is a mov-

able sign aspected by the 6th lord, one suffers physicalai lments

end fever due to spells and charms set into operation by black-magic and simi lar means. l f malef ics aspect the 11th, 5th,

9th and the 3rd houses without any benef ic aspect, tho nat ive

suffers from eat-troubles and deafness. l f the aff l ict ions are

heavy and the 3rd and 11th houses are hemmed in betweenmalefics, he may become stone-deaf. lf benefic aspects feebly,

only sl ight deafness is indicated. B.oth benef ic and malef ic

aspects on the 11th and 3rd give i rr i tat ing ear-ai lments but noldeafness.

l f the Lagna lord is in a quadrant, the 1Oth lord is in the

4th and the gth lord is in the 11th, one enjoys Rajayoga and

Brothers'

Although there is no karaka as such for etder brothersMars who is the karaka fol 'brothers, according to VaidyanathaDikshitar and other classical wri ters can also be considered forthe 1 1 th house. Benefic aspects and associations on the 1 lthhouse give elder brothers and ensure their happiness and longl i fe. Malef ic aspects and associat ions on the l l th house and11th lord deny elder brothers or give them short l ives or other-wise mar their prosperiry. When th6 11th lord is in the 6th,8th or 12th house and i f Mars is aff l icted, the nat ivo may nothave any elder brother or may lose him by death.

Conclusion. ' The predominance of feminine signs andtho powerful inf luence of Venus on the karaka has given moreelder sisters than brothers. The native has 3 elder sisters andone elder brother. The Moon is aspected by exalted Saturnwhich has prevented more elder co-borns warranted by theother planetary factors. The 11th lord Moon has gained 7Navamsas but it aspected by Sth and 6th lord Saturn, a maleficin digni ty.

The Eleventh House.' In Chart No. 216 Pisces the 11th is

neither occupied nor aspected by any planet.

The Eleventh Lord.' Jupiter is debilitated in the 9th house

and afflicted by Ketu. He is aspected adversely by the 7th and

12th lo rd Mars .Karaka. ' Mars is in the 2nd house aspected by 3rd lord

the Moon from the 8th house. In Navamsa he is exalted and

Mercury and the exalted 9th lord sun. t t is superf ic ial ly wel l

disposed. Venus, the 11th tord, occupies his own sign Taulus

aspected by Moon-sign lord Jupiter.Conclusion.' The 11th lord Jupiter is debilitated and

obtains neechabhanga but is eclipsed by Ketu' Mars, the

karaka, no doubt aspects him but adversely. Further the 11th

house from the Moon being inf luenced by powerful planets is

nevertheless not free from aff l ict ion. The Sun and Saturn,

it. The 11th lord Venus is subiected to a heavy papakartari

aspected by the Moon but from a dusthana. Theso factors

have al l contr ibuted to deny the nat ive any co-botns, elder oryounger. He is the only son of his parents.

The 11th lord Jupiter has gained only one Navamsa deny-

ing the nat ive any eldet brothers. In addi l ion, Jupiter occupies

a dusthana in the Navamsa chart. So does karaka Mats.

management of property, acquisition of a post of honour,trusteeship, respect of dist inct ion and inheri tance of properr ies.Jupiter, Dhanakaraka, can also be taken as the karaka forlabha or gains.

The Dasa of a weak or deprcssed planet causes loss of' labha 'o r ga ins . The 11 th house necessar i l y compr ises the2nd also so that t i rning of results due to benef ic disposit ionsor aff l ict ions to the 11th house wi i l have to be made takinginto account the 2nd house factors as wel l .

Thus a person acquires gains in the periods (major per iodor sub-period) of the plarret or planets in rhe 11th house, theI l th lord or of the planet or planets'aspect ing the 1 1 th houseor 11th lord. The same result may also be expected in themajor per iod or sub.period of ths planet occupying rhe 2ndhouse, the planet aspect ing i t or of the planet owning i t .

Conversely, a person suffers loss of the 11th Bhava signi-f icat iorrs during the periods of the planets ci ted above andwhich are aff l icted by rnalef ic planets, or are combust ordepressed, ecl ipsed or with inimical planets.

Gains may also be predicted in the fol lowing Dasas (majorperiods) and Bhukt is (minor pericds) :--(a) Lords of t f re 2ndand 5 th houses or the 2nd and l1 th houses i f they havemutual ly exchanged places ; (b) lords of the brh and 9thwhen they are in the Sth and gth respect ively.

l f the l l th lord is associated with the 12th lord, loss canbe expccted during their mutual per iods. l f the Lagna lord,4th and 9th lords are in the gth house, f inancial stress ispossible during the major and minor periods of these planeis.l f the sth lord is in the 8rh house or the 8th lord occupies theSth house, then also losses can occur.

18 days .Conclusion. ' The combinat ion in Chart No. 232 of the

11th lord Jupiter and Mercury, exalted lord of the 2nd and

Sth house has generated a powerful Dhana Yoga. This is

reinforced by the vargottama position of Mercury. In addi-

t ion the combinat ion occuls in the 5th house. The 11t l i lotd

Jupiter f rorn the 5th house aspects Yogakaraka Saturn in the

9th house. Saturn, in turn, generates a Sasa Yoga' These

yogas enabled the nat ive to emerge as a powerful industr ial ist

dur ing Mercury's Dasa, his f inancial posi t ion consistent ly

shoot ing up during this Period.A signi f icant negat ive feature in an otherwise strong

chart is the position of Venus in a dusthana in the 6th house

XVIConcerning the Twelfth House

The twelf th house signi f ies losses, extravagance, expendi '

ture, conf iscat ion, sayana sukha (pleasures of the couch), lef t

eye, feet, incarcerat ion, div ine knowledge and piety and Final

Emancipat ion (Moksha). As in the case of ptevious Bhavas,

the factors to be considered in analysing this Bhava ate : (a)

the Bhava, (bl i ts lord. (c; i ts occupants and (d) the karaka'

A proper assessment of the indicat ion of the twelf th house

tests on a balanced examinat ion of these factors.

These results are general and must be adopted to sui tindividual cases. l f the twelf th lord is a benef ic, his occupa-t ion of the twelf th house gives general ly favourable results.l f the 12th house is a movablo sign and contains the Moonor Mercury, the nat ive wi l l do lot of t ravel l ing.

General Combinat ions

We give below some important combinat ions bearing onthe twelf th house and i ts signi f icat ions drawn from variousstandard classical works.

When the lord of the twelf th house occupies benef icvargas, the nat ive spends, his wealth in honourable andapproved ways. l f the 12th lord is aspected by or is with amalef ic or depressed or ecl ipsed planet, the nat ive spends hismoney in i l l ega l and ques t ionab le ways . Depend ing upon theplanet aff l ict ing the 12th lord, one may expend his wealth on

may have a good father to take care of his wants to spend

anyamount o f money. l f ma le f i cs a f f l i c t the 12 th , one 's

earning get drssipated in many ways. Lords of malef ic houses

such as the 6th oI the Bth in the 12th result in loss of prest ige

and money provided the 1Oth house, i ts lord, the 2nd house,

the 11th house and their lords also get af f l icted.l f the 12th lord is exalted or in a fr iendly sign, the person

wil l be generous ; i f related to a wel l -placed 9t l t lord, fortu-

nate. A benef ic in the 12th makes one thr i f ty and careful with

his money. Lord of the 12th aspected by Jupiter, the 9th lord

in the 4th, and the 1Oth lord in a kendra, indicate a chari table

disposition. The Ascendant and tho 9th lords in parivartana

make the nat ive engage himself in chari table and vir tuousdeeds. One wi l l be keen on undertaking pi lgr images and alsochari tably disposed i f the gth lord is in the 12th. The 9th lord,occupying a benef ic sign in Navamsa with a benef ic planet,

makes one spend lavishly on chari ty. Exalted Mercury posited

in a quadrant or the 11th and aspected by the 9th lord makesone a phi lanthropist .

The 9th lord in simhasanamsa (occupying the same varga5 t imes) aspected by the lords of the Lagna and the 1oth ; orthe gth lord aspect ing the Ascendant and the Ascendant lorddisposed in a quadrant ; or a benef ic planet in the Ascendantand the 9th lord in a malef ic Navamsa or shashtyamsa ; onespends large sums on chari ty out of ostentat ion.

l f the 12th house and Venus are both benef ic ial ly dis-posed, the native, wherever he be, will have bed comforts.Simi lar results wi l l happen i f the lord of the twelf t l r house isconjoined with or aspected by a benef ic and occupies a benef ic

sub-divis ion (varga). One wi l l not enjoy such pleasures underthe fol lowing combinat ions :

l f the Lagna lord occupies the 6th, gth or the 12th: theLagna lord is debi l i tated or joins Saturn, Mandi or Rahu ; orl f the 12th lord is aff l icted by malef ic aspects or associat ions.Depending upon the other planets and the Lagna in a horos-cope, such denial or deprivat ion of bed.pleasures may be dueto force of c ircumstances, poverty, i l l -health, physical deformityor cont inence due to spir i tual incl inat ions.

The nature of the planet in the twelf th house gives us aclue as to how one's wealth is lost, dissipated or spent.

The nat ive's wealth is spent on f ines or wi i l be conf iscatedby the Government when the aff l icted Sun occupies the 12th.Mars in the 12th gives expensive l i t igat ion and dangerousenernies. Money wi l l be lost through ransom, cheat ing andswindlers. Reckless investment in shares and trade and busi-ness are l ikely when Mercury is placed in a simi lar s i tuat ion.Family l i t igat ion wi l l a lso dwindle wealth. Venus causes lossof money through wonten ol i l l - fame, scandals or black-mai! .Saturn and Mars create expenditure on account of co-borns,Saturn and Rahu cause he; lvy expenses on deaths and simi larcalamit ies. The Moon and ths Ascendant lord in the 12thresult in dissipat icn of money through medical and hospitalbi l ls, suret ies, bai l -amounts, etc. These results are possible rntoto only i f there are appropriate indicat ions in the chart as awhole and the part icular Bhava concerned to show such loss.One should be very careful in weighing the aff l ict ionscorrect ly.

lord, 7th lord and the 1Oth lord shows loss of money through

their respect ive signi f icat ions, namely, enemies, l i t igat ion,

women, chi ldren, co'borns, marr ied partner and father.

The 12th lord with a malefic suggests embezzlementtendencies. An exchange of houses between the 2nd and 1 2thlords and affliction by Lagna lord in the 6th house indicatescr iminal proceedings against the nat ive leading to loss ofwealth. Simi lar ef fects can happen when the 12th lord occu-pies the 2nd, the 11th lord is in the 12th and the 2nd lord isdebi l i tated or occupies the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house ;when the 2nd lord is combust, debi l i tated ot af f l icted in the12th and the Ascendant lord is weak; or the 10th lord is in the11th combining with the Lagna lord in a malef ic shashtyamsa ;or when the 2nd lord is debi l i tated, jo ins a malef ic or iscombust in the 6th ; or if Venus, Rahu and the Sun are in the12th, such expenditure wi l l be due to coutts, l i t igat ion, f ines,etc.

lf the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the 2nd house isaspected by the Lagna lord and is in the 6th, the 8th or the12th houses, the native incurs expenditure on account of f ines.This comblnation may also indicate losses through theft andf i re.

l f Mars aspects the weak 2nd and 11th lords who alsooccupy inimical Amsas ruled by malef ics and are at the sametime aff licted by malefics, theft, outbreak of fire or fines couldlead to foss of wealth. l f the aff l icted 1Oth lord is in the 6thwith the 2nd and 11th lords in an evi l shashtyamsa, the nat i ivesuffers public censure and thereby loses his wealth.

l f the luminaries occupy the 12th, loss of weatth takesplace through tax raids, government enactments or confisca-

Lord of the Navamsa occupied by the 11th lord with abenef ic but in a malef ic shashtyamsa in the 6rh, the gth or the12th houses may p lunge one in debts . l f the 1Oth lo rd beeither aspected or conjoined with the 11th lord, a malef icoccupies the 2nd house and the Lagna lord occupies lhe 12thhouse, then the nat ive wi l l get involved in debts. Involvementin debts may be ant ic ipated under the fol lowing combinat ions :

Lagna lord joins the 2nd or the 7th lord is ei ther ecl ipsed,debi l i tated or in an inimical s ign in any of the dusthanas (the6th, the 8th and 12th houses) whi le the 9th lord does notreceive any benefic aspects ; the 2nd lord is eclipsed andconjoins a malef ic in the 2nd or the Bth house ; the 2nd lordis both combust and debi l i tated and occupies a malef icshashtyamsa; the Ascendant lord is aff l ictod both by a malef icp lanet and the lo rd o f e i ther the 6 th , B th o r 12rh .

l f the lords of the Navamsa occupied by the rulers of thedrekkanas occupied by the 2nd and l1th houses are invaiseshikamsa and be in a trine or quadrant, the natlve will beable to clear off his debts during his l i fe t ime.

Poverty is indicated when Jupirer is in the 12th, 6th or8th from the Moon and the Moon is in a tr ine or a quadrant,debi l i tated or occupying an inimical varga. The Sun in debit i tyin the 9th and Mars in the 8th cause appal l ing poverty. t f theSun in Aries is aspected by a malef ic and is in debi l i ty inNavarnsa ; or i f Venus occupies Virgo borh ih Rasi andNavamsa, a beggar is born. When the Ascendant is Sagit tar ius,Pisces, Leo or Taurus and Jupiter is stronger than the gth lordand the 11th lord is weak and combust and occupies any

luminaries in the Lagna are aspected or associated with the

2nd or the 7 th lo rd . Thegth lo rd in the 12 th , the 12 th lo rd in

l f the Lagna lord is in the 8th house whi le the 8th lord

joins the 2nd or the 7th lord in Lagna, the nat ive wi l l never

earn enough for even bare subsistence. Benef ics in the 1Oth

and malef ics in the 2nd denote poverty. The Moon, Jupiter

and Saturn in quadrants and Mars and Mandi in the 51h, the

8th or the 12th bestow povelty. Most of these combinations can

be found in the charts of s lum-dwel lers, servant 'maids, f lower '

sellers, show-shine boys and similar categories of vocation

where life is tived from day'to'day.The Ascendant, its lord and planets in papakartariyoga

usual ly give r ise to imprisonment. l f the Lagna and the 6th

lord combine with saturn in a kendra or kona, the native will

suffer imprisonment. Malef ics in the 2nd, 5th, gth and 12th

houses cause captivity, the exact nature of which is determined

by the nature of the sign r is ing on the Ascendant ' l f At ies'

Taurus or Sagit tar ius is r is ing, the nat ive is said to be bound

by iopes. lf Scorpio is tho Lagna, the native will be thrown

into an underground cel l . l f Gemini, Libra or Virgo is

a large protected buitding if the Lagna is Pisces, Cancer or

Capricorn.The 6th and Lagna lords in a tr ineorquadrant, jo ining Rahu

lf Lagna lord Venus is in the 6th, one suffers from diseasesin the lef t eye.

The Moon affrictedby a malefic planet and Venus in the 2nd house can cause lossof vision. The Sun, the Moon and Venus are the naturalsignif icators of ths eyes. Afflictions to these and the 12thhouse cause defective vision.

The Moon and Venus in the 6th, the gth or the 12th causenight 'bl indness. one wi i l have weak vision i f the waningMoon is aspected by Saturn, or if the Moon in Cancer is aspectedby malefics from the 7th or the 1Oth house. Eye troubres areforeseen when Venus occupies th6 Lagna or the gth housealflicted by malefics. lf the sun aspected by Mars or saturn orafflicted by Rahu occupy the 12th house or any trine, thenat ive wi l l have defect ive vis ion.

l f the Lagna and 2nd tords occupy the 6th, gth or the 12thhouses, one's eye-sight may be affected. Mars in the 12thinjures the r ight eye. l f the Sun and the Moon occupy the6th and the 12th from Lagna, ono may lose one of his eyes.l f the Moon and Venus occupy the 12th house, or i f Venusalong with a malef ic occupy the l2th house, the lef t eye wi l lbe affected.

Defective vision and eye-ailments 8ro not so serious todayas they were when the classical works were written. In those

defective vision is of tittle consequence except in ceilain voca-

tions. Most cases of defective vision can be set right through

prescr ibing proper lenses or thlough simple surgicaloperat ions'

Blindness is also no longer a handicap since blind people are

taught to be sel f ' rel iant.lf the 12th house be aspected or occupied by Saturn or

Mandi and the 12th lord be in a Vipat (3rd), Pratyak (Sth) or

Naidhana (7th) constel lat ion reckoned from Janma Nakshatra

(bir th-constel lat ion), the nat ive may face untold calamit ies

and hardships. He will enter upon a vicious code of conduct'

commit s ins and go to hel l af ter death. ,l f a malef ic planet in combust ion, debi l i tat ion or a state of

eclipse afflicts the twelfth Bhava, one may go to lower planes

such as hel l af ter death. When the 12th lord occupies a

mafefic shashtyamsa and is aspected by a malefic planet or

w h e n R a h u i s i n t h e l 2 t h h o u s e w i t h M a n d i a n d t h e S t h l o r dis aspected by the 6th lord, the person descends into the

the 1Oth lord occupies the 12th house or is aspected by Venus,

waning Moon ol well placed Sun, one becomes a celestial

after death.The same state occurs if a benef ic planet in strength occu-

pies the 1 2th house in benefic vargas and is aspected both by

benefics and malefics. lf powerful Jupiter occupies Cancer

and his moolatlikona sign in Navamsa and 3 or 4 planets are

122 How to Judgo a Horoscopo

in kendras, the native is said to attain Brahmaloka after hismortal death. When Sagit tar ius is the Ascendant, Ar ies is theNavamsa Lagna, Venus occupies the 7th house in Gemini andthe Moon is in Virgo, the nat ive is said to attain Liberat ion(Moksha) after death. Ketu in the 12th from karakamsa givesKaivalya or Final Emancipat ion. l f the 1Oth lord joins 4 orherplanets in a tr ine or quadrant, the nat ive attains Finat Libera-t ion. Mars and Mercury in Pisces and Gemini as Ascenclantgive Moksha.

These combinat ions cul led out from authori tat ive works onastrology by ancient writers indicate the next stage of the soul,sjourney after irs release from the human body. This is a verydeep subject and involves a profound understanding of deepstudies in the doctr ine of Karma. There is no way of veryfyingpredictions bearing on the state of the soul after it shakes offthe physical body. But some clues can be had by studying thetwelf th Bhavas of great saints such as Sri RamakrishnaParamahamsa, Ramana Maharishi and Sri Aurobindo.

There is a l i t t le known but pract ical ly appl icable dictum inBhavanha Ratnakara bearing on the twefth house. Accordingto i t a person wi l l be fortunate in respect of that house whosekaraka is si tuated in the 12th house from the Ascendant.

Some Practical lllustrations

We have seen so far how to assess the nature of results ofeach of the twolve Bhavas or houses beginning from theseventh (marriage) to the twerfth (emancipation) in thisvolume. The principles of astrorogy provide us with a tool toestimate the general worth of an individual and what life hasin store for him in its various sectors such as marriage (7th),ruffering and death (8th), parentage, prosperity, travel (9thi,fame, success, distinction and occupation (1Oth), trienOs,brothers, gains (1 l th) and expenditure, incarceration and f inatrelease (12th) afterdeath. Arthough the pranetary configura-tions can give a broad outline of the future of an individuat, itis only an intuitionar perception that can herp us to assess rhereal worth of a horoscope. lt is no easy job to draw conclu_sions. The astrologer has a duty in dressing up his predictionsin such a way that the truth is revealed without adversolyaffecting one psychologically.

lf the Lagna lord, the Moon or Mercury is afflicted, anegative prediction may drive the native to melancholia andfrustration. Hence one must be careful in revealing the truth.On the contrary, a native with strong Ascendant, the Moon orMercury will be abre to digest any prediction without reacring

Somc Practlcal Ilturtratlons il6!

etrongly. This mental maturity of a native must bo assessedbefore the astrologer gives his comments on any chart.

Coming to the question of interpletation, the Rasi, Nav_amsa and Bhava charts must all be taken into account. Maleficafflictions cause denial or lack of happiness or positive miseryin a particular sector of life. on the contrary, benefic disposi-tions thror.rlh aspects, associations and occupation give happi-ness and success in the relevant aspscts of life. A properassessment and balancing of all factors must be made beforecoming to any conclusion. The Dasa-Bhuktis are of very gr6atimportanco since if appropriate periods do not operate in thelife+ime of an individuar, he may not experience the resurts intheir entirety.

MarriageTha seventh house falls in Taurus. lt is not occupied or

aspected by any planet and therefore, quite unafflicted. Theseventh lord Venus occupies the gth house and is free ofaspects, good or bad. Hence the seventh Bhava is fairly strong.The 7th house from the Moon is Virgo occupied by Ketu andsspected by the 7th lord Mercury. He is neecha (debilitated)but gets cancellation of debility due to Venus, who gets exartsdin Pisces, being in a kendra (quadrant) from the Moon. Mer-cury is afflicted by Rahu and aspecred by exalted Moon-signlord Jupiter and l l th lord Saturn f lom his own sign (Capri-corn).

The 9th house is occupied by an exalted Jupiter who is abenefic for Scorpio Ascendants. He is aspected by powedulSaturn, a malofic.

The presence of Venus in the gth house, both as Kalatra-karaka and 7rh lord, is not desirable since it gives a sicklyhusband. Further Mercury, the 8th lord, occupies the sthhouse with a benef ic the Moon but malef ic Rahu.

The 7th house has no afflictions prima facie. Neither the7th lold nor the Bhava is aspected or associated with Saturn.The gth house is fortified by a parivartana lexchange of signsbetween sth and 9th lords). An early marr iage is therefore,possible. The strength of the gth house indicates a fortunatematch and great prosperity in life.

Timing Marriage: The following planets would becapable of giv ing marr iage in their per iods (Dasas or Bhukt is):_

(1) The lords of the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the7th lord namely, Mercury and Mars.

(2 ) Venus.(3) The Moon.

(4) The lord of the sign occupied by the 2nd lordJupiter-the Moon.

(5) The lOth lord-the Sun.(6) The 9th lord-the Moon.(7) The 7th lord- Venus, there being no planets occupy-

ing or aspecting the 7th house.(8) The 7th lord from the Moon-Mercury.

That is, Mercury, Mars, Venus, the Moon, and the Sunbecome capable of giv ing maniage in their pet iods.

The native finished her Saturn's Dasa when slightly ovet17 years and Saturn having no marr iage-giving power did notgive her matrimony. The next Dasa would be of Mercury.Early marriage being indicated, the Dasas of Venus, the Sun,the Moon and Mars could not be considered at al l s ince VenusDasa would begin in her 42nd year, the Sun's Dasa by the48th year, the Moon's Dasa by the 58th year and Mars Dasaby her 65th year. So Mercury's Dasa would be most appro-pr iate for marr iage. In addit ion, Mercury is with the 9th lord,the Moon and aspected by exalted Jupiter 12nd lord andKutumbasthanadhipati) so that within 6 months from thocommencement of the Dasa, the native got married.

Venus occupies a mart ian constel lat ion in a mercurialsign so that the panner turned out to be an expert in techno-logy.

Mercury being very well placed with gth lord the Moon(sowbhagya) ond aspected by the 2nd lotd (kutumDa) and rhesth ford (progenyl Jupiter from the 9th house (general fortune)gave happiness in married life with the biilh of children andptosperity of husband in his Dasa.

WidowhoodThe 8th house is occupied by the 7th lord Venus which is

not I good feature. Ketu afflicts the 7th house from the Moonwith no relieving influences. The presence of the 7th lord inthe 8th house gives a sickly husband. Venus, further, occupiesa constellation ruled by Mars who is in the 6th house.

The native's husband developed prostrate trouble aboutthe end of Mercury's Dasa. lt aggravated after several opera-t ionsduringSaturn'ssub-period, the last in Mercury's Dasa.By the time Ketu's Dasa began, it had become so complicatedthat normal conjugal life was no longer possible. The Rahu-Ketu axis afflicts the gth lord from Lagna and the 7th housefrom the Moon causing vicissitudes in married life. Ketu Dasacontinued in this manner. After prolonged illness and severalmore surgical operations, the native"s husband died in thesub-period of Mars in Venus Dasa. The Dasa lord Venus is ina dusthana so that his karakatwa (natural significations)suffered until the end. Venus occupies mengalyasthena tromthe Ascendant and is the 8th lord from the Moon.

Foreign TravelThe ninth house is Cancer, a watery sign, occupied by

exalted 2nd and 5th rord Jupiter. The gth rord Moon is inPisces, another watery sign, and with gth and 1l th lordMercury. The Moon is aspected by the 3rd lord Saturn andthe sth lord Jupiter. Rahu associates with the Moon. TheLagna lord Mars being in a moveablp sign, the gth housebeing a moveable and watery sign, the 9rh lord Moon occu-pying a common sign and being aspected by the 3rd lordSaturn from his own sign Capricorn which also happens to bea moveable sign ale all indicative of foreign travel andjourneys to distant places in the appropriate Dasas (periods)and Bhukt is (sub-periods).

The following factors must be considered in timing foreignjourneys, namely,

(a) lord of rhe gth house-the Moon ;(b) planet or pranets aspecting the glh house-saturn ;(c) pfanet in the gth house_Jupiter ;(d) planets aspecting the grh lord_Saturn and Jupiter;(e) planets in association with the 9rh tord_Mercury,

Rahu and Ketu ; and(f ) the 9th lord from the Moon_Mars.Therefore, the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu,

Mercury and Mars become qualified to give foreign travel Intheir periods. The presence of Lagna lord Mars in a move.able sign and the 9th lord Moon in a dual sign aspected by awell-placed 3rd rord saturn indicate severar journeys abroad.Mars, the lord of the Lagna, in the 6th house cannot, however,

a68 How to Judtc r llororoDo

give foreign residedce or prolonged stay abroad as would havobeen.the case if he were in the 9th or 12th house.

Venus is the 12th lord as wel l as the 7th lord and is alsocapable of travel abroad more particularly because of hisoccupation of a common sign.

The nat ive f i rst went abroad in Venus Bhukt i of MercuryDasa. Venus, as we have lust seen, is the 12th lord and soqualified for giving travels. The Dasa lord Mercury is inassociation with the 9th lord in Pisces. The second timeSaturn Bhukt i in Mercury Dasa took her abroad. Saturn is the3ld lord aspecting the 9th lord Moon and Dasa lord Mercuryfrom the 3rd house. Ketu, the next Dasa lord, is in the 11thhouse in a common sign, aspected by 9th lord Moon.

LongevityThe Ascendant is aspected by its lord Venus. The eighth

lord Jupiter is in the 6th house with debi l i tated 4th lord sun.The sun gets neechabhanga (canceilation of debirity) since hissign-lord Venus is in a kendra (quadrant) from Lagna.

The gth lordsun occupies the 1Oth house with 3rd and 12th lord Jupiter.Ayushkanka saturn is in the sth house with exatted Mercury.At the same time, he is afflicted by the Nodes. The 3rd lordthe Moon aspects the 3rd house. This is good. Consideredfrom the Moon, the 3rd lord Jupiter is in the 1Oth with the8th lord sun. The 8th rord Jupiter in a dusthana and the gthlord Sun (with reference to the Moon) being strong in akendra are not very good for longevity. On the other hand,the presence of Venus in a kendra gives some strength. Sinceboth benefics and malefics are in a kendra (quadrant) andkona (tr ine) and 8th lord is in a malef ic Bhava, the span oflife can be said to be medium or madhyayu, Another leasonfor medium life is the exaltation of maraka planets, namely,2nd lord Mercury and 7th tord Mars in trines.

The Dasas that operate during madhyayu (32 to 75 years)are of Jupiter (in pail), Saturn and Mercury. Of these three

aOl How to Judgc s llororcopo

Dasa lords, Jupiter is the 8th lord from Lagna and the 3rdand' l2th fordfrom the Moon combining with 8th lord Sun.Saturn is not a maraka from Lagna. He is the natural marakaand combines with the 2nd lord Mercury. From the Moon,he is the 2nd lord. Mercury is the 2nd lord from Lagna placedwith karaka Saturn. He associates with the 2nd lord from theMoon, namely, Saturn. Of these three planets, Jupiter doesnot have sufficient maraka power, either due to lordship olassociation. Between Saturn and Mercury, thg latter is the2nd lord and powerful due to his exaltation. But Saturn whoassociates with Mercury takes over the marakatwa from himand becomes a first-rate killer. Since Lagna lord aspectsLagna, Saturn cannot be expected to kill in the beginning ofhis Dasa. This would not be warranted by the planetarydispositions. Hence he can kill only in the closing paft of hisperiod. Rahu whc is with Saturn (maraka) and 2nd lordMercury and who should also reflect the lesults of Saturnbecomes quite capable of proving fatal. The native died inSaturn's Dasa at the fag end of Rahu Bhukti.

Nature of DeathThe 8th house is Sagittarius and falls in the 3rd drekkana

of the sign, ruled by ths Sun.The 8th house is free of aspects, malefic or benefic, while

the 8th lord joins the Sun (4th lord) in the 6th house (roga-sthanal. The Sun as lord of the 2nd drekkana occupying the6th house gives a clue to the cause of death.

He is aspected by Saturn, ahermaphrodits, whose characteristics are further enhanced byassociation with another similar planet, an afflicted Mercury.Moreover, Venus occupies a rhercurial constellation and as wehave already seen, this is not a welcome situation.

The 12th house from Lagna being affticted by planets inthe 6th house (rogasthana) and the karaka being ruler of the6th house and afflicted resulted in heatth troubles thatprevented the native from having a normal married life.

Butsince the 12th lord Mars is wel l placed and Venus isalso a benefic due to his ownership of Lagna and occupies akendra, this state of affairs began only after the native hadlived a normal life for about 15 years. The next 1E yearsapproximately, until his death, were filted with complicatedhealth probfems that did not ailow sayana-sukha. This is aunique instance of how both benefic and malefic influences
