PREFACE

This is an English version of a great Astrological work by Satyacharya considered to embody the principles of Dhruva Nadi and Satyasamhita Nadi. It is told in this work that the principles were communicated by Dhruva to Jaimini, who in turn passed it on to Garga who transmitted them to Vyasa, wherefrom Satya Rishi got them. The name of Satyacharya occurs in Brihatjataka, expressly quoted by Varahamihira with great reverence several times. Vide :

Another opinion is that Satyacharya was a Buddhist monk well-versed in Astrology. Many of his slokas have been quoted by Bhattotpala in his commentary in Brihat Jataka at relevant places. Some of them have been given at the end of this book as an Appendix for the benefit of the readers.

PREFACE

Now coming to the merits of this book, there are many special features of this work that render it unique. The treatment of the subject of Astrology is novel in this book and is not to be found in ordinary texts on the subject. Some of the distinguishing features of this work are the treatment of stellar theory, Panchasiddhanta criterion, Bhavaphala (effects of the house), grahakarakaatva (significance of the planets) and Dashaphala (results of different dashas). The book gives rules to determine the effects of the planets placed in different stars which are not generally found in ordinary works It deals with Bhavaphala and Dashaphala in an exhaustive manner. It gives the results which would occur when a particular Bhavadhipati is placed in the twelve different houses for all the 144

(12X12) combinations possible. Almost half of the work is devoted to a detailed study and interpretation of the results of the dashas and one can boldly say that such a treatment is difficult to be found elsewhere.

The book will prove to be a guide of immense value and great practical utility to all students of Astrology, both for the beginners and the advanced, in the instruction of the art of prediction by synthesising the diverse factors like stellar position, Navamsha, Bhava, Rasi etc. and judging the same correctly.

It is earnestly hoped that the book will be received by all the readers interested in the science of astrology with enthusiasm and should serve in widening the knowledge of the readers, we feel that our ambition has been completely fulfilled.

We take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all those who assisted in the publication of this work.

It is possible that some errors and omissions may remain in the book and if these are brought to our notice, we shall try to rectify them in the next edition.

CONTENTS AT A GLANCE

This book contains rare material regarding the principles of astrology and rules hitherto unknown to any student of astrology. A sincere study of this work will doubtlessly prove to be of great value to every earnest seeker. Some of the special features which distinguish the work are:

Stellar Theory

The book gives rules to determine the effects of the planets placed in different stars. This is a rare feature which is not available in the ordinary text books on astrology.

It gives an exhaustive account about Bhavaphala. The results which would occur when a particular Bhavadhipati is placed in the 12 houses have been given for all the 144 (12x12) combinations possible. The details have been given on a thorough scientific basis by synthesising the grahakarakatva and the panchasiddhanta principles.

Many new rules are given in this book for the study of navamsha chart and the gochara of planets.

Interpretation of Dashas

Almost half of this work is devoted to a study of the results of dashas. It deals with the dasha system in a detailed manner giving the effects of the lord of each house while placed in the twelve houses (144 combinations).

उपोद्घातः

Time of Birth —Janmanakshatra—Strength of a Bhava—Significance of the houses

The great sage Satyacharya taught the principles of Astrology to his disciple Maniththa and these principles are contained in this work.

Addressing his pupil, Satyacharya said, "Oh my dear disciple! I am going to reveal the principles of Astrology to you. These principles are not known to anybody and are a great secret. By means of these, you can predict the future events accurately".

The science of Asrology is a great secret. It should be guarded with care. It should never be revealed to people who have no faith in God, who are sceptics by nature and to those who do not show reverence to their Guru.

This sacred science of Astrology should never be taught to bad people. Nor should it be revealed to too many people and very frequently. It should be taught only to a few chosen disciples who really deserve and have the necessary qualifications. Listen to me with care. Now I shall expound the pricipleṣ of Astrology according to "Dhruva Matham" i.e. according to the school of Dhruva".

During the course of everyday (24 hours) the twelve ascendants continuously rise and set one after another. The twelve ascendants are Mesha, Vṛisha etc. The ascendant at sunrise is naturally the sign in which the Sun is posited. During the course of each lagna millions of creatures are born.

There are three different moments which can be taken as the time of birth and for which the horoscope can be cast.

6

The fortunes of a native are to be studied with reference to : (1) the ascendant lord (लग्नेश) ; (2) the lord of the ascendant in the navamsa diagram (लग्नवांशेश) (3) the lord of the birth star, (जन्मनक्षेश) ; and (4) the lords of the rasis occupied by the above three.

7

Birth-star (जन्मनक्षत्र) : Consider the strengths of the Moon and the ascendant.

7

If the ascendant is stronger than the Moon, the lord of the star in which the ascendant falls, is to be taken as the birth star. If, on the other hand, the Moon is stronger than the ascendant, the lord of the star in which it is posited is to be taken as the birhtstar.

Note

Thus, it should be noted that the term, "birth-star" is a technical term and has special meaning in this book.

8

Determination of Birth-star : Two views : Firstly, Birth star has to be deternined by a careful consideration of the strengths of the Moon and the Ascendant. It is the star in which either the Ascendant falls or the Moon is posited at the moment of birth. Whichever is stronger of the two i.e. the Moon and the Ascendant, that should alone be taken into consideration for purpose of determination of the birth-star. This is the view generally accepted and followed.

However, there is another view in this matter. Instead of considering the strengths of the Ascendant and the Moon, we consider the strengths of the Ascendant lord and the Moon. If the ascendant lord is stronger than the Moon, the star in which it is posited at birth should be taken as birth-star. But, if the Moon is stronger than the Ascendant lord, the star in which it is situated at birth should be reckoned as the birth-star. But this view is generally not followed.

The lords of the twenty-seven stars are given below :

1

Aswini 10 Magha 19 Moola Ketu

2

Bharani 11 Poorvaphalguni 20 Poorvashadha Venus

3

Krittikā 12 Uttaraphalguni 21 Uttarashadha Sun

4

Rohini 13 Hasta 22 Sravana Moon

5

Mrigasira 14 Chitra 23 Sravishtha Mars

6

Ardra 15 Swati 24 Satabhisha Rahu

7

Punarvasu 16 Visakha 25 Poorvaproshthapada Jupiter

8

Pushya 17 Anuradha 26 Uttaraproshthapada Saturn

9

Aslesha 18 Jyeshtha 27 Revati Mercury

Calculate the shadbala of all the planets. (according to the rules given by Sripati). Then judge the horoscope. If all the four determinants, (i.e. the ascendant lord, the navamsa lagna lord, the lord of the birth star and the lords of the rasis occupied by the previous three) the native will be very powerful. If these be of medium strength, the native will be moderately fortunate. If any two of the above determinants are endowed with full strength, the position and status of the native in life will be of middle nature. If only one of the determinants has full strength, he will have just ordinary type of luck. If none of the determinants is strong, the native will be miserable and poor throughout his life.

राशि (Rasi Chart) नवांश (Navamsa Chart)

11. Illustration

Consider the horoscope of a person born in Sagittarius lagna in the star of Uttarashadha and in the Leo navamsa.

For this horoscope the first determinant i.e. the ascendant lord is Jupiter. The second determinant i.e. the lord of the Janma rasi (i.e. the sign occupied by the Moon at birth) is the Sun. The third determinant i.e. the lord of the star Uttarashadha is the Sun. The lord of the signs occupied by them also happens to be the Sun.

The above horoscope is given by Sage Satyacharya in order to illustrate the principles of determining the birth-star and the other determinants.

This horoscope, Satyacharya says, is the horoscope of a male child born under the star of Uttarashadha first quarter . (geष्ठ) . in the month of Simha. The ascendant is Dhanu. In the navamsa chart, the ascendant is Leo.

So, the first determinant i.e. the lord of the ascendant is Jupiter. The second determinant i.e. the lord of the Navamsa lagna is the Sun.

The third determinant is the lord of the birth-star. Satyacharya judges like this. As the Moon is Vargothama it is stronger than the Ascendant. Hence the birth-star is Uttarashadha in which the Moon was posited at birth. Lord of Uttarashadha being Sun, it is the third determinant.

To find the fourth determinant, according to the definition, we have to consider the lords of the rasis occupied by the above three. Here, the first three determinants are Jupiter, Sun and Sun. The lord of the rasi in which they are situated is again Sun. Hence the determinants are Jupiter and the sun.

In this horoscope, Jupiter is posited in the 9th house (Bhagya Bhava) in conjunction with the Sun who owns the 9th house.

Moreover, Jupiter has shubhakartari yoga as it is between Venus and Mercury. Venus being labhadhipati (11') and Mercury being Rajyadhipati (10'). Therefore, Jupiter is very strong.

13. Strength of a Bhava

A Bhava is said to be strong, when its lord as well as the lord of the rasi in which it is placed are both strong. (The latter is known as the depositor of the former). If both these are strong, all the good results of the Bhava will fructify. If only one is strong, the results will be ordinary. If both are weak, bad effects alone will result.

14. Satyacharya illustrates these principles with the help of the following horoscope

The native of this horoscope is born in Mesha lagna and Mesha navamsa. Satyacharya has given the positions of the two planets. Saturn in Tula and Mars in Makara. He says that this person will be a great emperor endowed with much wealth and fame.

The reason is, the ascendant lord is in the 10th house and is exalted. (Excellent Ruchaka Yoga). Its depositor (i.e. lord of the rasi in which

15. The Second House

वित्तं विद्या स्वान्नपानानि मुखं दृष्टिक्षाम्यां पत्रिका वाक्कुटुम्बम् ॥ (फलदीपिका 1, 10)

वित्तं नेत्रं मुखं विद्या वाक् कुटुम्बाश्रयाणि च । द्वितीय स्थानज्यानि क्रमाज्ज्योतिर्‌विदो विदुः ॥ (जा० पा० XI, 49)

The second house rules over finance, money, wealth, eye, face, speech, family, food, tongue, teeth, death, begging, timidity, nose and welfare of family members.

Note : If the second house is extremely weak or afflicted, naturally the native will be driven to begging. The reason why Satyacharya assigns timidity to this house is perhaps because it is the twelfth house from the third house which denotes courage.

The third house signifies brothers, courage, bravery, fear,

voice, ear, fruits, father's death, strength, dress and mental stability and firmness.

Jatakarijata says :

ज्येष्ठानुजस्थितिपराक्रमसाहसानी कण्ठस्थवद्विनतविप्रानुरागशोकानि । धैर्याज्ज्ञववीर्यबलमूलफलाशनानि वस्ये तृतीय भावनाक्रमशोडखिलानि ॥ (जै। पा० XII-1)

Note :

Third house is seventh (Marakasthana) from the 9th house. Hence it denotes the death of father,

Phaladeepika says :

दुश्चिक्यो रोदक्षकरञ्ज्व सेनां धैर्य शौर्य विक्रमं प्रातरश्च ॥ 1 ॥

The fourth house dentoes comfort education, conveyance, heart, landed property, house, mother, friends, relatives, cattle and buildings.

Jataka Parijata says :

बदन्ति विद्याननिसुखानि सुगन्धगोत्रन्धुमनोगुणानानि । महीप यानक्थितिमन्दिराणि चतुर्थ भावप्रभवानि तज्ज्ञाः ॥

Phaladeepika :

गेहं क्षेत्रं मातुलं भागिनेयं बन्धुं मित्रं वाहनं मातरञ्च ।

The fifth house rules over children, intelligence, meritorious deeds, charity, kingship, duty, respect for parents and success in attemps.

The sixth house signifies diseases, troubles from enemies, worries, injuries, litigation, sorrows, maternal uncle, injuries, armies, mental worries and legal involvements. ऋणासत्रचोरक्षतरोगशत्रून् ज्ञात्वाजि दुष्कीर्त्यमभीतवज्ञा: (फ० दீ० I, 13)

The seventh house denotes marriage, wife, travel, death journeys, change of residence and foreign travel. यात्रापुत्रकलत्रसौख्यमखिलं सञ्ज्विन्त्ययेत्सप्तमात् ॥ (J.P. XIV, I) जामित्रचित्तोत्तमदासकामान् घूनाध्वलोकानपति मार्गभार्या: (P.D. 1, 13)

Note :

The seventh house is one of the marakasthanas, the other being the second house. The reason is, it happens to be the twelfth from the house of longevity i.e. the eighth house.

The eighth house signifies longevity, misfortunes, sins, debts, enmity, death, difficulties, impediments, grief and unhappiness resulting from sins committed in previous births, sudden and untimely death (अकालमृत्यु) and enemies. मोक्षाल्यरन्ध्रसलिलाधीपराभवायुः क्लेशापवाद मरणाशुचिविप्नदासान् अष्टमे आयुः स्थानम् । (फ० दீ० 1.14) (जातकचन्द्रिका)

ADHYAYA II

पञ्चसिद्धान्ताध्याय

Strength of Bhavs and planets—Pancha Siddhanta criterions—Planetary firendship—Auspicious and inauspicious stars etc.

1. General rules for the study of Bhavs:

(i) Each Bhava has innumerable significations i.e. they denote many points of life. These have to be studied very carefully by considering the relevant Bhavs and the ruling planets (Karakas).

(ii) A Bhava will flourish if its lord and Karaka planet are strong by being placed in their exaltation signs, Moolatrikona signs or own signs.

(iii) If the lord of a Bhava is placed between benefic planets or benefic stars, the Bhava will thrive.

Note : This is called Subhakartri yoga (NtCtfo gtud&) for the lord of the Bhava.

(iv) If the lord of a Bhava is placed in the 6th, 8th and 12th houses, the Bhava will suffer destruction.

(v) If the lord of a Bhava is placed in the three stars called Vipath, Pratyari and Vadha taras, (i.e. the 3rd, 5th and the 7th stars counted from the natal star), the Bhava will decline.

(vi) If the lord of the Bhava is hemmed between malefic planets, the significations of the Bhava will suffer.

Note : This is called 'Papakartri yoga' of the lord of the Bhava.

(vii) If the lord of the Bhava is combust (मौद्ययुक्त) or has set (अस्तंगत) or is in debilitation (नीच) the Bhava is destroyed.

(viii) If the lord of a Bhava is posited in Kendra or Trikona houses, significations of the Bhava will flourish.

(ix)

If the lord of a Bhava is posited within the first six houses from its house, it tends to improve the significations of the Bhava.

(x)

The planet which is moving towards its exaltation point (उच्चाभिमानी), which has large number of subhavargas and vargotthamams (remaining in the same rasi, Navamsa, Drekkana, Saptamamsa and trimsamsas) and which is associated with Benefics tend to promote the Bhava.

(xi)

The planet that has large number of Ashtakavarga bindus (6, 7 or 8), will promote the significations of its Bhava.

(xii)

The planet which is not placed as described above will cause the destruction of the Bhava. (i.e. if it is between malefics, conjoined or aspected by malefics etc.).

(xiii)

A Bhava flourishes if it is conjoined with or aspected by benefics. Similarly, it will thrive if it is hemmed between benefic planets. But if it is otherwise i.e. if it is conjoined with or aspected by malefics or is hemmed between malefic planets, it will suffer destruction.

Satyacharya says that a wise astrologer should judge the effects of a Bhava by the principles given above and by the Pancha siddhanta Principles1 which he proceeds to explain next.

2. Pancha Siddhanta

These are five basic principles in the study of a horoscope. They are: (i) Graha Seela (the behaviour of nature of the different planets) (ii) Karakatva (Significators) (iii) Nakshatra (stellar positions of the planets) (iv) Swavarga (positions of the planets in the rasi, navamsa, hora, drekkana and other varga charts). These principles are referred to as the 'Panchasidhanta principles.

Explanation

Janma Nakshatra does not necessarily mean the birth star as is ordinarily understood. It has to be determined from a consideration of the relative strengths of the Moon and the Lagna. It is the star in which the stronger of the two i.e., Lagna or the Moon falls.

Rule 4

The planet that is posited in Janma (1) Sampat (2) Kshema (4) Sadhaka (6) and the Maitra, (8) statrs will produce moderately good results provided the said planet is strong. It will not be able to produce the good results, if it is weak.

Rule 5

The planet situated in the Parama maitra star, (9) will yield excellent results.

Rule 6

A planet posited in the Vipat (3) Prathyari (5) and Vadha (7) stars produces evil results.

Rule 7

A planet aspecting its own rasi gives good results.

Rule 8

A planet posited between friendly planets yields good results. (This is called Subhakartri yoga).

Rule 9

A planet which has direct motion between its debilitation and exaltation points gives good results. (such a planet is called 'Uchchabhilashi' or 'Uchcharohi'.)

Rule 10

A planet which is getting the aspect of another planet gives the results of the other also.

Rule 11

A planet friendly to the lord of the lagna or the one situated in an auspicious rasi within six houses from the Ascendant, yields auspicious results.

Rule 12

A planet friendly to the lord of the Lagna and the Chandra lagna yields good results during its dasa, if it is within six rasis from Lagna, if it is in the auspicious stars, and if it owns the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 10th and 11th houses from the ascendant.

Rule 13

In interpreting the results, due consideration is to be given to gochara (transit) of the planets also. The Dasa results and gochara results should be combined and then the final conclusion should be arrived at. The rules of Nakshatra Siddhanta are equally applicable to Horary (प्रश्न), and electional (मुहूर्त) branches of astrology too.

Rule 14

Planetary friendship :

सुहृदस्तिक्रोध भवनाद्ग्रहस्य सुतमे व्ययेऽथ धनभवने।

सजनेजनिधने धर्मे स्वोच्चे भवन्ति न शेषा: ॥ (सत्याचार्य:)

सजनेजनिधने धर्मे स्वोच्चे भवन्ति न शेषा: ॥ (सत्याचार्य:) The friendly planets to a given planet are those which own the 5th, 12th, 2nd, 4th, 8th and 9th houses counted from the Moolatrikona rasi of the planet. The rest are his enemies.

Planet | Friend | Enemy | Neutral Sun | Moon, Mars, Jupiter | Saturn, Venus | Mercury Moon | Sun, Mercury | Nil | Others Mars | Sun, Moon, Jupiter | Mercury | Venus, Saturn Mercury | Venus, Sun | Moon | Others Jupiter | Moon, Sun; Mars | Venus, Mercury | Saturn Venus | Saturn, Mercury | Others | Jupiter, Mars Saturn Rahu Ketu | Venus, Mercury Saturn and Venus | Others Sun, Moon and Mars | Jupiter Jupiter and Mercury

Explanation

Explanation : For example, the stars of Jupiter i.e., Punarvasu, Visakha and Poorvabhadrapada are favourable for the Moon. Whereas, it will be miserable in the stars of Rahu, Ketu or Saturn, as they happen to be her enemies. The rasis and stars of a friendly planet prove favourable for a given planet to produce its effects.

Rule 15...ताकालिकमैत्री (Temporal Friendship)

Rule 15...ताकालिकमैत्री (Temporal Friendship) तत्काले च दशायबन्धुसहजस्वात्येषु मित्रं स्थिता: । (वराहमिहिर:) Planets are mutually friendly for the time being when they occupy the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, and 12th positions from one another. [From the नैसर्गिकमैत्री and ताल्कालिक मैत्री five fold friendship (पंचधामैत्री) has to be ascertained.]

Rule 16

Rule 16 This ताल्कालिकमैत्री (temporal friendship) is to be considered in interpreting gochara (transit) results.

IV PRINCIPLE (वर्गोत्तमसिद्धान्त)

Rule I The Shadvarga strength of a planet should be determined by considering its position in (1) Rasi, (2) Hora, (3) Drekkana, (4) Navamsa, (5) Dasamsa, (6) Dwadamsa and (7) Trimsamsa chakras.

IV PRINCIPLE (वर्गोत्तमसिद्धान्त)

ग्रहावस्थानिरूपणम्

Rule III Planetary States : There are nine kinds of states in which a planet may be situated and they are :

ग्रहावस्थानिरूपणम्

1. दीप्त (bright) 2. स्वस्थ (happy) 3. प्रमुदित (comfortable) 4. शान्त (peaceful 5. दीन (miserable) 6. अतिदुःखित (extremely unhappy) 7. विकल (defective) 8. खल (cruel) 9. कोप (angry).

ग्रहावस्थानिरूपणम्

[In Jatkaparijata, however, ten kinds of states are told differently as:

ग्रहावस्थानिरूपणम्

दीप्तः प्रमुदितः स्वस्थः शान्तः शक्तः प्रपीडितः । दीनः खलस्तु विकले भीतोऽवस्थादशक्रमात् ॥

दीप्तग्रहफलम्

1. Deepta planet and its results : (दीप्तग्रहफलम्)

दीप्तग्रहफलम्

A planet is said to be Deepta if it is in its exaltation sign. If it is strong according to Shadbala calculations, it bestows kingship, riches, conveyance, vehicles, all kinds of happiness, courage, power, marriage, respect from relatives, education, material comforts, favour from king etc., during the course of its dasa and bhukti. Similarly, a planet placed in its moolatrikona rasi and endowed with strength makes a person a minister, army-chief or an officer holding high posts and the person wins the friendship of high authorities and becomes very famous.

2. Swastha planet and its results : (स्वस्थग्रहफलम्)

When a planet is in its own sign, it is called Swastha. If such planet, has full strength, during the course of its dasa and bhukti, it confers upon the native comforts, happiness, wealth, cattle, landed property, clothes and conveyances.

3. Pramudita Planet and its results : (प्रमुदितग्रहफलम्)

A planet situated in the sign of its Adhimitra is termed as Pramudita. Such a planet, during the course of its dasa and bhukti, confers upon the native happiness, all kinds of comforts, clothes, perfumery, ornaments, vehicles, pilgrimage, bath in holy rivers, courage, opportunity to attend religious discourses etc., provided the said planet is strong.

4. Shanta Planet and its results ( शान्तग्रहफलम्)

A planet placed in its mitra rasi (friendly sign) is termed as Shanta (quiet). If such a planet is endowed with strength, it will confer upon the native riches, wealth; comforts, health, personality and royal favour during the course of its dasa and bhukti.

5. Deena planet and its results (दीनग्रहफलम्)

A planet situated in its neutral rasi is termed as Deena. Such a planet will cause diseases, loss of profession, enmity with relatives, and resort to low and base occupations for livelihood.

6. Atidukhita (अतिदुःखितग्रहफलम्)

A planet is called Atidukhita (extremely miserable) when it is situated in the rasi of its enemy. If it is equipped with strength, it produces during the progress of its dasa and bhukti worries and difficulties of various kinds.

7. Vikala Planet and its effects (विकलग्रहफलम्)

A planet is said to be Vikala (deformed, defective) when it is in conjunction with a malefic planet. Endowed with strength, a vikala planet, produces, worries, defects, difficulties, deformities, ill-health, disgust, disappointments, danger and illness to wife and children, defects and repairs to vehicles, loss of clothes, and many kinds of miseries during the progress of its dasa and bhukti.

8. Khala Planet and its effects (खलग्रहफलम्)

A planet is said to be khala when it is in debilitation. If it has strength it causes illness, difficulties, thefts, dangers from enemies and low class people, ill-health, many kinds of sufferings during the progress of its dasa and bhukti.

9. Kopa (क्रोधग्रहफलम् क्रोध–angry)

A planet in combustion with the Sun is said to be in the state of kopa. Such a planet, endowed with strength, produces different kinds of difficulties, unhappiness, eye troubles, financial losses, danger to wife, children and relatives.

V PRINCIPLE—ADHIPATYA SIDDHANTA

The rasis owned by the nine planets are as follows : (i) The Sun…Simha, (ii) The Moon…Kataka (iii) Mars…Mesha and Vrischika, (iv) Mercury…Mithuna and Kanya (v) Jupiter…Dhanu and Meena, (vi) Venus…Vriska and Tula. (vii) Saturn…Makara and Kumbha.

V PRINCIPLE—ADHIPATYA SIDDHANTA

The lords of the rasis from Mesha onwards are Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn and Jupiter respectively.

The rasis of the navamsas, Mesha etc. are also the same.

Bhavakarakas

सत्याचार्यः

सौम्याः पुष्टिमपास्तद्धानिं संश्रिता ग्रहाः कुर्वुः । मृत्य्वादिषु निधनेऽन्ये षष्ठे च विपर्ययात्फलदाः ॥

(B.J.XX10)

The Benefics posited in any house, generally promote the advancement of that house while malefics in any house work only its decay. In the case of the 6th, 8th and 12th houses, they give effects in the reverse manner: [i.e., if a benefic is placed in 12 it lessens expenditure while malefics produce too much of the same. Similarly, benefics in the 6th house reduce illness and diseases while malefics increase the same.]

Upachaya and Apachaya houses

दशमैकादशषष्ठतृतीय संज्ञानि जन्मलग्नाद्याम् । उपचयभवनानि स्यु: शेषाण्यृक्षाण्यपचयाख्यानि ॥

(भावपुष्टि) Strength of a Bhava

A bhava will produce its full effect :

When the lord of the Bhava is placed between benefic planets शुभकर्तरी योग:.

When the lord of the Bhava receives the aspects of benefic planets.

When the lord of the Bhava is fortified by being placed in swakshetra (own sign), exaltation or moola trikona signs.

When the lord of the Bhava is placed in upachaya houses i.e., 1, 3, 6, 10,or 11th houses from lagna.

When the lord of the rasi occupied by the said lord of the house, (i.e., depositor of the lord) in debilitation or in inimical sign.

When the lord of the Bhava is in the 8th or 12th house from the Lagna or the lord of the Lagna.

When the indications are found mixed, the astrologer should use his power of judgement and then decide. The results will be of a mixed nature, under such circumstances.

He who has mastered the five Siddhantas (the five basic criterions), says Satyacharya, can boldly venture to make predictions and these will never go wrong.

4

If the lord of the ascendant is placed in the second house, endowed with strength and having a shubha yoga, the native will become very rich and enjoy all kinds of happiness.

5

If the lord of the lagna is strong and is placed in the third house with a shubha yoga* the person will become famous and powerful with the help of his brother. He will be proficient in music or astrology.

6

If the lord of the lagna is strong, and is placed in the fourth house with shubha yoga, the native will acquire much landed property and conveyances. He will inherit the property of his mother and enjoy all kinds of happiness and comforts.

7

If the lord of the ascendant occupies the fifth house in a benefic rasi, navamsa, or a benefic star, or is placed between two benefic planets, or is aspected by benefics, the person will be a favourite of kings and nobles. Or he may be adopted by great people; and will win the blessings of the deities indicated by the benefic planets.

8

If the lord of the lagna is strong and is placed in the sixth house, the native may rise to high positions in the army (as commander-in-chief etc.), or as a great doctor.

Note

The reader is advised to go into the logic in each case. The karaka for sixth house is Mars who rules army, medical profession etc. Hence the above interpretation.

9

If the lord of the lagna is strong and is placed in the seventh house with a shubha yoga, the native will reside in foreign countries or in the house of his father-in-law. He will be immortal and have illicit relations with many women. He will be given to pleasures and will adorn himself with sandalpaste and garlands.

10

If the lord of the lagna is strong and is placed in the eighth house with a shubha yoga, the native will have long life but will be poor. He will help others and will be courteous in his behaviour. His speech will be sweet. He will be hardworking and will discharge his

Shubha yoga is used in the sense of a technical term as defined previously. It should not be taken to mean coinbination with a benefic alone.

11

If the lord of the lagna is strong and is placed in the ninth house, with a shubha yoga, the native will do charitable deeds and will be devoted to his preceptor. His father will be a person of great reputation. The native will acquire property and wealth from his father.

12

If the lord of the lagna is placed in the tenth house with shubha yoga, the person will acquire name and fame. His occupation will be the one which is denoted by the lord of the tenth house. He will have Raja yoga, (he will get kingdom) if the planets are strong.

13

If the lord of the lagna is placed in the eleventh house and is strong and has a shubha yoga, the native will be very fortunate and will become very famous. He will have gain in all enterprises. He will benefit through his elder brother. He will acquire the articles indicated by the lord of the eleventh house.

Note

Satyacharya seems to imply that the native will have the advantage of the indications of the lord of the house in which the ascendant lord is situated. Good houses are greatly strengthened by the presence of the lord of the lagna therein. The indications of the evil houses get mitigated.

14

If the lord of lagna is strong and is placed in the twelfth house with a shubha yoga, the native will be religious and will do charitable deeds. He will have a happy and comfortable life. He will be calm and quiet. He will do meritorious deeds with a view to achieve happiness in the other world (paraloka). He will spend his paternal wealth in good ways. His wealth will gradually decline.

15

Defining Ashubha yoga : A planet is said to have Ashubha yoga (malefic yoga) if it is posited in the rasi or navamsa of a malefic planet, or is hemmed in between malefics (पापकर्तरी योग) or is aspected by malefics (पापदृष्टि) or is placed in the 3rd, 5th or 7th stars counted from the Janmanakshatra of the native.

Note

Suppose the birth star of a person is Rohini and Saturn is placed in Magha in Leo, then Saturn has Ashubha yoga as Magha happens to be 7th star from Rohini.

16

If the lord of the lagna is weak and is placed in the different

houses, with ashubha yoga, the effects will be very bad contrary to what has been said earlier.

If shubha yoga and ashubha yoga are both present, the result, too, will be mixed.

If the lord of the lagna is strong but its depositor i.e., the lord of the sign in which it is placed, is weak, he cannot produce the good efects to the full extent i.e., they will be only ordinary.

If the ascendant lord and its depositor are, both, weak the results will be very bad.

It is the duty of the astrologer to consider the pros and cons of each case in the light of the rules before comng to the final conclusion.

If the ascendant lord is strong and is placed in the Lagna or Chandra-Lagna in the birth chart or navamsa chart or is hemmed in between benefics or is aspected by benefic planets, results will be very good. If it is placed in between benefics and malefics, results will be mixed. If it is in between malefics only or is aspected by malefics, results will be of a very bad nature.

धनभावफलविचार:

Effects of the Second House

The native will earn much wealth if the lord of the second house--(i) is placed in a benefic sign, navamsa or star (ii) or is hemmed in between benefics (iii) or is aspected by benefics (iv) or is placed in an angular house (1, 4, 7, 10) or a triangular house (1, 5, 9) from the ascendant, ascendant-lord or the lord of the second house or (v) is placed in its own house. The gain of wealth will be through the matters signified by the lords of the angle, trine and exaltation signs and also through the signification of the planets that aspect the lord of the second house.

If the lord of the second house is afflicted, the native will incur expenditure through the significations of the second house. This may happen if the lord of the second house (i) is hemmed in between malefics (ii) is aspected by malefics (iii) or if the lord of the sign. occupied by the lord of the second house is weak, then the native may

3

If the lord of the second house occupies lagna and has shubha yoga, the person will get wealth through his own efforts. If the ascendant lord is placed in the 9th house, acquisition of wealth will be through his father and elders. If the 2nd lord and ascendant lord have malefic yogas, his wealth will be spent away quickly.

4

If the lord of the second house, occupies the third house and has a benefic yoga, the person will acquire wealth through brothers. music, drama, etc. If it has an ashubha yoga in the third house, money will be wasted through the means mentioned above.

5

If the lord of the 2nd house is placed in the fourth house with shubha yoga, the native acquires wealth through mother, lands, agriculture, education, friends, conveyance and vehicles. If it has a malefic yoga, money will be wasted through the planets causing the same.

6

If the lord of the 2nd house is placed in the fifth house and has a shubha yoga there will be acquisition of wealth through children, great men, temples and mutts. If there is a malefic yoga, the means indicated above will cause expenditure of money.

7

If the lord of the 2nd house is placed in the sixth house and has a shubha yoga, the native will get wealth through medical profession, enemies, litigation, theft, games and races. He may acquire riches also through the items signified by the lord of the sixth house.

If the lord of the second house has a malefic yoga, the effects will be bad and he will lose money through these indications.

8

If the lord of the second house is placed in the seventh house and has shubha yoga, the native will acquire wealth from foreign countries. This acquisition will be through women if the depositor of this planet in the Natal and Amsa charts or the lord of the star occupied by the 2nd lord is a female planet. If this 2nd lord has 'ashubha yoga', expenditure of money will be caused through women.

If the lord of the second house is placed in the seventh house with a shubha yoga and is hemmed in between Saturn and Mars which happen to own benefic houses and if Venus is in any rasi other than its own, his wife will be unchaste and he will earn wealth through her by immoral means.

The Panchasiddhanta criterions should be applied carefully and the effects of the planets should be predicted paying due consideration to the strength of the planets involved.

If the lord of the second house is placed in the eighth house and has a benefic yoga, there will be acquisition as well as expenditure of wealth. If the 2nd lord is combined or aspected by yoga-karaka planet, he will earn wealth through the means indicated by the yogakaras. If there is a malefic yoga, the native will have no benefits. If there is a mixture of the good and bad indications, the results also will be of a mixed nature.

If the lord of the second house is placed in the ninth house and it has a shubha yoga, the person will get wealth from his father and other elders. He may also get wealth through the means indicated by the 9th lord and the planets associated with the 2nd lord.

If the lord of the second house is placed in the tenth house and has a shubha yoga, the person will acquire wealth through service, commerce, trade, sacrifices, performance of religious rites, and ceremonies and agriculture.

If the lord of the second house is placed in the eleventh house and has a shubha yoga, the native will acquire wealth through trade, money-lending, usury and through his elder brothers. If this 2nd lord has a malefic yoga, there will be much expenditure and waste of money through the above means.

If the lord of the second house is placed in the twelfth house with a benefic yoga, there may be some acquisition of wealth through religious means. If the said planet has a malefic yoga, money will be spent away through the above means.

Note

It is necessary to consider the rules given in other standard texts also, before coming to the final conclusion. For instance.

placement of the 2nd lord in Angles, Trines and Upachayasthanas (3, 6, 10, 11) is auspicious. But its placement in the 8th and the 12th houses will be harmful. Due consideration should be given to the strength of the 2nd lord according to the Panchasiddhanta criterion.

14. If the fourth and eleventh houses are strong and auspicious through connection with benefics and a planet having downward-gaze (अधोमुखदृष्टि ) has Dhana yoga, the person will get treasure (निधि). But if the houses 4 and 11 are weak and are connected with malefics, the native will squander away his wealth.

If the seventh house lord is placed in the third house, with a shubha yoga, his brother will be fortunate and becomes rich by going to foreign lands. If there is a malefic yoga, his brother will suffer misfortunes and the native may enjoy his brother's wife.

सप्तमेशे चतुर्थस्थ्ये शुभयोगसमन्विते । बहुसन्तानसंयुक्ता तत्पत्नी सुखमाप्नुयात् । विदेशगमनं विद्यावाहनादिसुखं भवेत । मिश्री मिश्रफलं जेयंशुभत्वशुभं वदन्त ॥

When the lord of the seventh house is placed in the fourth house with a shubha yoga, his wife will be very happy. She will get many children. The native may go to foreign lands.

If the lord of the seventh house is placed in the sixth house with a shubha yoga, his wife will come from the family of his maternal uncle. Or the native may have two wives. Or he will be troubled by diseases. If there is ashubha yoga, he will suffer from piles. If the kalatra karaka, i.e., Venus is also weak, he may abandon his wife or his wife may be carried away by his enemies.

7

If the lord of the seventh house is placed in the seventh house, with a shubha yoga, it is good. The person will be very powerful. He will be very handsome. He will enjoy many women. His wife will come from a good family. He may also get wealth through his wife. i.e., from her family etc. (Moreover, if the planet be one of the five major planets, i.e. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, it will cause Mahapurisha yoga).

8

If the lord of the seventh house is placed in the eighth house with a shubha yoga, the native's death may take place in a foreign country. His wife may also meet with early death. If there be misra yoga, results will be mixed. The native will enjoy her for sometime and then she may die. Or, he may live as a bachelor. Or else, his wife may contract some disease.

If the lord of the seventh house is placed in the ninth house with a benefic yoga, he may become rich in a foreign country or his father may stay in another country. The native may do meritorious (dhannic) deeds in a foreign land. His father-in-law may be very wealthy and prominent. If there is ashubha yoga, however, his wealth will be spent away and he may lose his father early in his youth.

11

If the lord of the seventh house is placed in the tenth house, his wife will attend to his needs with care. He may be employed in a foreign country. Or he may wander from place to place. He may get his living through the assistance of his wife.

12

If the lord of the seventh house is placed in the eleventh house, he may have many wives or he may enjoy many women. If there is misra yoga, the results will be mixed. If there be a malefic yoga, he may always be walking or live by carrying bundles on his back. He may lose many of his wives. Finally, one of his wives will survive him after his death. If the eleventh house lord is in the second house, he may gain wealth from foreign countries and from women.

13

If the lord of the seventh house is placed in the twelfth house with a shubha yoga, he will enjoy many women for sometime. He may meet with his death in a foreign country. If there be an ashubha yoga, he will lose his wife early or he may live as a bachelor or may be thinking about other women lying in his bed.

14

Time of wife's death : If the 7th house lord, Venus (kalatra karaka), and their depositors are strong, his wife will die during the third revolution of Saturn. If these four planets are of ordinary strength, she will pass away during the second round of Saturn. If they are weak, she will die during the first revolution of Saturn.

Note

Each period of revolution of Saturn is nearly thirty years. This is to be reckoned with respect to the position of Saturn in the chart of his wife.

15

Combination for widowhood : If Mars or Rahu is placed in the 2nd or 7th or 8th house, the woman may become a widow. If they are in the 4th house, her mother may become widow.

Time of Marriage

घूनेशे बलसंयुक्ते कारके च बलान्विते । शुक्रे डप्युपचयस्थे तु शीघ्रमुद्राहसम्भवः: गुरुोः प्रथमपर्याये गोचरे संभाव्यिष्यति ॥

16

If the lord of the 7th house is strong and Venus is placed in Upachaya rasi (3, 6, 10, or 11) with full strength during the first revolution of Jupiter, marriage will take place early. If the 7th house lord and Venus are of moderate strength,, marriage may take place during the second revolution of Jupiter, (i.e. between the 12th year and 24th year of his age). If both are devoid of strength, he may

17. Evil to 7th Bhava

If malefics are placed in 6th, 8th or 12th house from a given house, and if the lord of 6th, 8th or 12th is placed in that bhava, then the matters signified by the house are destroyed during the period of the planet occupying the said bhava. This principle can be applied to the 7th bhava also.

18. Effects of different planets in the 7th house

If there is a debilitated planet in the 7th house, his wife will be sickly or he may marry a woman who has no regular periods. If Mars be there, he may marry a widow. If Rahu be there, he may have relations with a very low-born woman. If Mars and Saturn be there and Venus happens to be between them he may enjoy a bad woman. Details regarding colour, caste etc., of the woman can be predicted from the nature of the lord of the navamsa in which the 7th house lord is placed and also the planets associated with that.

19

If the lord of the 7th house or Venus is placed in even rasi or even navamsa or in a female star with shubha yoga, the native will have Raja yoga and he will derive enjoyments from several wives.

अष्टमभावफलविचार: Effects of the Eighth House

1

If there is a malefic planet in the eighth house, the native will die of some major disease or he may die unnaturally. If there be shubha yoga, he will have a peaceful end without pain.

2

If the lord of the 6th and 8th house be in combination, certainly the disease will be the cause of his death.

3

If there be a shubha yoga in the eighth house, the native will have long life. Ashubha yoga will cause short life, while misra yoga will give medium length of life.

4

If the Lagna, ascendant lord and the Moon have full strength, and if the lord of the birth star, lagna, navamsa and Saturn are all very strong, the person will have long life. If all are weak, he will be short

Calculation of Length of Life

5. The malefic planet placed in the 12th house will take away the whole of the period allotted to it.

Calculation of Length of Life

6. The malefic planet placed in the 11th house destroys half of the period allotted to it.

Calculation of Length of Life

7. The malefic planet placed in the 10th house destroys 1/3 of the period allotted to it.

Calculation of Length of Life

8. The malefic planet placed in the 9th house destroys 1/4 of the period allotted to it.

Calculation of Length of Life

9. The malefic planet placed in the 8th house destroys 1/5 of the period allotted to it.

Calculation of Length of Life

10. The malefic planet placed in the 7th house destroys 1/6 of the period allotted to it.

Calculation of Length of Life

11. Benefics placed in the above houses take away only half of the periods told for the malefics i.e., benefics placed in the houses 12th onwards up to the 7th house respectively reduce 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10 and 1/12 of the periods allotted to them.

Calculation of Length of Life

Now naturally arises the question : What are the periods contributed by the different planets to the life span of a person ? Here we have the following dictum : If the planets be in their exaltation positions, they contribute 19, 25, 15, 12, 15, 21 and 20 years from the Sun onwards. If they be in their debilitations, they contribute only half of the above amount i.e. 9-1/2, 12-1/2, 7-1/2, 6, 7-1/2, 10-1/2 and 10 years. The lagna contributes period equal to the navamsas passed over by it.

Calculation of Length of Life

A malefic planet placed in the 12th house will destroy its full period of life.

Calculation of Length of Life

In the 11th house, it reduces 1/2 of the period and so on. If it be in the seventh house, it reduces 1/6th of the life.

Calculation of Length of Life

12. If there be many planets in a house, the reduction indicated above is to be performed only for the strongest planet posited there.

13

If a malefic planet be placed in the Lagna house, half of the period allotted to Lagna should be reduced.

ध्रुवापहानि:

(i)

A planet situated in the rasi of its enemy takes away 1/3 of its period of life.

(ii)

A planet in debilitation takes away 1/2 of its period.

(iii)

A planet in setting (astamana or heliacal setting) also takes away 1/2 of its period.

(iv)

The above reduction for setting should not be applied to Venus and Mercury.

(v)

Reduction for placement in inimical rasi mentioned in 1 above should not be applied to Mars.

The above five reductions are termed Dhrwapahani by Satyacharya.

(vi)

Reduction should be performed only for one reason, when there are several causes for doing different reductions.

(vii)

Similarly, increasing of period also should be performed only for one reason when there are many reasons.

14

Increase of period contributed by different planets :

(i)

When a planet is placed in vargothama, own decanate or own rasi, its period should be multiplied by two.

(ii)

If a planet be in retrogression or exaltation, the period should be multiplied by three.

15

This is the best way among others in calculating the length of life.

16

A malefic placed in 6th or 8th house aspected by its enemy which is not in setting, or combustion, brings death during its dasa or bhukti (sub-period).

17

A planet which is the enemy of the ascendant lord may cause sudden death during its bhukti in the major period of the ascendant lord. So length of life is to be calculated after studying such dangerous periods.

Balarishta (Death during Childhood)

A child is susceptible to death :

Balarishta (Death during Childhood)

1. Within four years as a result of the sins of its mother.

Balarishta (Death during Childhood)

2. Within eight years as a result of the sins of its father.

Balarishta (Death during Childhood)

3. Within twelve years as a result of its own sins.

Balarishta (Death during Childhood)

Hence the life span of a child is to be mathematically calculated only if he/she lives after twelve years.

Cause and mode of Death

This is to be ascertained from the lord of the star or rasi in which the 8th house lord is placed.

Cause and mode of Death

Means of death may also be determined from the nature of the rasis and navamsas in which the lord of the Khara drekkana i.e. twenty second decanate is placed, as also the lords of the said rasis and navamsas.

Cause and mode of Death

The place where death will take place is to be decided from the rasi ruled by the said planets.

Cause and mode of Death

Worlds (Lokas) to which the departed soul would go, are to be ascertained by the worlds ruled over by the said planets.

Cause and mode of Death

The person will remain unconscious at the time of death for the amount of time that was to have elapsed in the ascendant at the time of his birth. (लग्नभोग्यकाल)

Cause and mode of Death

If the lord of the 8th house be in upachayasthana, life will be long.

Cause and mode of Death

If the lord of the 8th house be in a bad place, life will be of medium length.

Cause and mode of Death

If the lord of the 8th house be in the 12th house, life will be short and the native will spend his wealth in bad ways.

Cause and mode of Death

If Saturn and Mars be strong, the person will undergo troubles from debts, cuts and wounds.

If the lord of the 8th house be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the indications of these houses flourish. If there be a benefic in one of 6th or 8th house, these houses will prosper to a moderate extent. If the lord of the 8th house be placed in the 12th house, the significations of 12th house thrive to a great extent.

If the lord of the 8th house be placed in houses other than 6th, 8th or 12th houses, the houses are destroyed. If in addition, there be a malefic planet placed in that house, the house is completely ruined. If there be a shubha yoga, the said house thrives moderately, and the period of the lord of the 8th house will prove to be good.

छिद्रग्रहाः

Chhidragrahas (Evil planets)

The chhidragrahas or cruel planets for a horoscope are (1) the lord of the 8th house; (2) the planet associated with the lord of the 8th house; (3) the lord of the star in which the 8th house lord is placed; (4) the lord of the navamsa in which the lord of the 8th house is placed; and (5) the khara drekkanadhipati i.e., lord of the 22nd drekkana. These planets bring misfortunes and troubles.

Effects of Dasas and Bhuktis : General Rules : Factors producing Benefic and Malefic Results : Effects of Lords of the Houses when placed in the 12th House.

Effects of Dasas and Bhuktis. (Udu Dasas)

If the Lagna is stronger than the Moon, the dasas should be reckoned from the lord of the star in which Lagna falls. If the Moon be stronger than the Lagna, the lord of the star in which the Moon is posited will be the lord of the first dasa.

Note :

Readers should note the deviation from the actual practice in vogue.

The stars from Chandra nakshatra (or the Lagna nakshatra) are termed Janma, Sampat, etc., as follows :

I Paryaya II Paryaya III Paryaya Janma 1 10 19 Sampat uttama 2 11 20 Vipat 3 12 21 Kshem uttama 4 13 22 Pratyari 5 14 23 Sadhaka uttama 6 15 24 Vadha 7 16 25 Maitra 8 17 26 Parama maitra 9 18 27

Note :

Paryaya = series.

The dasas of Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka and Maitra stars (i.e., 2, 11, 20; 4, 13, 22; 6, 15, 24; 8, 17, 26) are auspicious and bring good

4

The dasas of Vipat, Pratyari and Vadha stars (3, 12, 21; 5, 14, 23; 7, 16, 25) are inauspicious and bring bad results. These are the worst periods (Adhama).

5

The dasas of the lords of Janma and Parama mantra stars i.e., (1, 10, 19; and 9, 18 and 27th stars) are moderately auspicious (Madhyama) and belong to the middle category in their capacity to bestow good results.

The stars 2, 4, 6 and 8 counted from the Janma nakshatra are most auspicious. The planets placed in trine signs (trikona rasis), produce the best results during their periods and sub-periods. Planets in angular signs (kendra rasis) produce moderately good results in their periods. Planets in 6, 8 and 12th signs from these stars produce bad results during their periods.*

7

The stars 3, 5 and 7 counted from the Janma nakshatra produce bad results. The planets in triangular signs (1, 5, 9) from the above stars also produce worst results in their periods. Planets in kendra signs (1, 4, 7, 10) produce moderately good results but planets in cadent signs (6, 8, 12) from these stars bring good results.

Example

Bha-rani

Suppose the birth star is Bharani, third to this is Rohini and it falls in Vrisha. Fifth from this is Kanya. Planet placed in Kanya may become bad according to the above rule.

8

Thus the nature of the periods of the different planets has to be determined with reference to the following points :

(i)

The natural quality of the planets, (whether they are benefics or malefics).

Periods : dasas and bhukties.

(ii)

Their rulership (i.e., whether they are lords of trines, angular houses etc.).

(iii)

The nature of the stars in which the planets are situated. (whether they are in kshema star, vipat star etc.).

(iv)

Whether they are placed in triangular, (1, 5, 9); angular, (1, 4, 7, 10); trika (cadent 6, 8, 12) or leena (2, 3, 11) signs from the stars (only for interpreting the effects of sub-periods).

If a planet happens to be a benefic by possessing three or four of the auspicious factors mentioned above, it will do good during its dasa and bhukti.

If it is a malefic in respect of three or four factors listed above, it will cause bad results during its dasa and bhukti.

Three factors have to be considered for dasa results and four factors for bhukti results.

A planet in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th stars counted from the Janma nakshatra produce good results. These auspicious results are further enhanced (1) when it is a benefic by rulership (शुभाधिपत्यम्), (2) when it is placed in a trinal sign and (3) when it is onjoined with a benefic.

Benefic planets placed in these auspicious stars produce very good results provided their transits are also auspicious.

Benefics placed in the inauspicious stars (the 3rd, 5th and 7th from the Janma nakshatra) produce ordinary results.

Planets placed in the inauspicious stars (the 3rd, 5th and 7th stars from the Janma nakshatra) produce evil results. These evil results become maximum : (i) when the planet is bad by rulership (by owning 6th, 8th and 12th houses etc.), (ii) when it is placed in bad houses and (iii) when it is conjoined with evil planets.

Malefic planets placed in the inauspicious stars, produce maximum evil results.

Malefic planets, when placed in the auspicious stars i.e., (1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th from the Janma nakshatra) do not produce their bad effects much.

Effects of Transit of Jupiter on the Periods

7. If Jupiter be weak and passes through inauspicious stars, the good results may not actually happen though there may be a mere talk about them.

Effects of Transit of Jupiter on the Periods

8. Transit of Rahu :--If Rahu is placed in a bad star at birth, the native will perform funeral ceremonies when Saturn passes through trine (1, 5, 9) signs counted from the birth position of Rahu; Or he may experience troubles from kings, enemies, thieves, diseases and poison at that time.

Effects of Transit of Jupiter on the Periods

9. If Saturn and Rahu be placed in bad stars*, bad results will surely occur during the conjoined periods of malefic planets.

*bad star = 3, 5, 7; 12, 14, 16; 21, 23, 25 etc., from the Janma nakshatra.

Results of Dasas and Bhukties

1. In reading the effects of different dasas, the inherent qualities of the planets, (नैसर्गिक शुभशुभत्वं), qualities determined by their lordship (आधिपत्यवशेन प्राप्तं शुभाशुभत्वं), significations (ग्रहकारकत्वं), and the five fundamental principles (पञ्चसिद्धान्ता:), etc., should be used which have already been dealt with in the earlier chapters.

Results of Dasas and Bhukties

2. A planet which is a benefic according to the following eight factors will surely do good to the native during its period :-(a) नैसर्गिक शुभत्वं inherited benefic quality (whether the planet is a natural benefic);(b) Placement in a benefic sign (स्थानं);(c) Extreme exaltation (परमोच्चयत्वं);(d) Retrogression (वक्रीणस्तु महादवीय:);(e) Benefic nature by rulership (शुभाधिपत्यं);(f) Rulership of benefic stars counted from the Janma-nakshatra (जन्मनक्षत्राधिपत्यं);(g) Shubha Varga;(h) Motion towards the uchcha point (उच्चारोहितत्वं).

Results of Dasas and Bhukties

3. A planet which is a malefic according to the eight malefic factors mentioned below, produces evil results. These malefic factors are :(a) नैसर्गिक अशुभत्वं malefic nature i.e. Saturn, Mars, Sun, Rahu and Ketu and weak Moon);(b) Placement in inimical and debilitation signs;(c) Heliacal setting (अस्तंगत);(d) Atichara (planets moving with speed much greater than their normal speed);(e) Malefic nature by rulership (rulership of 6th, 8th and 12th houses);(f) Rulership of evil stars counted from the Janma nakshatra;

(g)

Malefics in trines and kendras (angular houses);

(h)

Planets in parama neecha (extreme debilitation);

The planet which is malefic according to the eight factors mentioned above; makes the lord of the star, rasi and navamsas in which it is at birth, evil.

The planet which is benefic according to the eight factors mentioned above makes the lord of the star, rasi and navamsa in which it is at birth, beneficial.

These benefics (mentioned in 5) as also the lords of the stars, rasis and amsas yield good results during their dasas.

The malefics (mentioned in 4) as also the lords of the stars, rasis and amsas in which they are posited at birth yicld evil results during their dasas.

Among the various kinds of dasa systems, Udu dasa system is the best and hence it should be adopted for proclaiming the results.

लग्नेशदशाफलम्

If the ascendant lord has the eightfold benefic nature, mentioned above during the course of its dasa, it will yicld good results such as fortune, royal favour, health, fame, influence and happiness. These results will gradually increase. He will be respected by his relatives.

If the ascendant lord be weak, by being posited in inimical sign, or debilitation sign or is setting (अस्तंगत), during its dasa, the person will lose all importance. He will be a very ordinary person. He may even become a poor servant. He will be troubled by worries. He may become wicked. If it be in the twelfth house in the navamsa chakra, he will be ever moving from place to place. During the sub period of this planet, the native will be very unhappy and poor.

If the lord of the ascendant is placed in the second house in conjunction with the lord of the second house, during its dasa, the native will become very rich. He will eat delicious food in gold and silver plates. (as the second house denotes (भवितस्थान). The vessel will

be made of metal ruled by the planet in conjunction with the lord of the first house. For example, Jupiter would indicate gold vessels and Venus silver vessels.

All the significations of the second house would thrive. His family will prosper. His words will be respected. He will have all round success. He will have chance to see dramas, cinemas and other shows.

But, if in the navasma chakra, the lord of the ascendant is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas from the amsa in which the lord of the second house is placed, the effects previously told will be very much affected. He will have very little gain of wealth. He will experience both happiness and unhappiness.

If the lord of the ascendant is placed in the third house along with the lord of the 3rd house, during its dasa, a brother will be born. He will do courageous acts. He may get wealth through his brother. He will study religious works and hear musical performances. But, if the lord of the ascendant be in the 6th, 8th or 12th houses from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 3rd house, the good effects will occur only to a small extent. He may even quarrel with his brother during the period.

If the lord of the ascendant be placed in the 4th house with the lord of the 4th house, during its period, the native will acquire conveyances, landed property, cattle, and good dress. He may get a new house. He will be respected by his relatives and will derive benefits through the company of relatives, learned people and friends. As before, if the lord of the ascendant is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsa from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 4th house in the navamsa chart, the good effects will happen only to a small extent, the native may have bad effects also as falling from vehicles, quarrels with mother, losses through lands etc.

If the ascendant lord be placed in the fifth house with the lord of the fifth house, during its dasa, the native will be happy, get royal favour and will be respected by his friends and relatives. A child may be born to him. The native will worship gods. He may hold high posts (as minister etc.). He will win affection of his father and grace of God. He may enter government service during this period.

7

If the lord of the ascendant be placed in the sixth house with its lord, dasa will prove to be bad. The native will suffer troubles through government, litigation with his partners, quarrels with others and from cuts and wounds. His limbs may be affected and he may suffer poverty in this period. The effects will, however, be reverse if the lord of the 6th house be debilitated and the ascendant lord be exalted in the navamsa diagram. Then he will not suffer from diseases and will work in the army, navy or air force as a chief. He will have success in wars.

8

If the ascendant lord be placed in the seventh house with the lord of the 7th house, the native may have some journey during this period. He will celebrate auspicious ceremonies like marriage etc., in his house. He will derive pleasure from the use of sandal paste, scents, flowers and garlands. If the seventh house falls in a movable sign, he will have journey to distant places. But if it is in a fixed sign, he will be in his own place. If it be a dual rasi, he will go to foreign countries. If the ascendant lord be weak, he will be merely wandering without any gains. But, if ascendant lord be placed in the 6th, 8th and 12th amsas from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 7th house, the good effects may not occur. Then the native may not go on any journey. There will not be any auspicious events like marriage etc., in his house. His conjugal happiness may suffer.

9

If the lord of the ascendant be placed in the 8th house with its lord, the effects will be very bad. The native will suffer extreme poverty. He may have attacks of diseases. He will do mean and sinful acts. He may incur debts also.

10

If the lord of the ascendant be placed in the 9th house with the

lord of the 9th house, the person will get wealth from his property. He will worship deities and serve his father. He will become very rich and famous for his large scale charitable deeds.

But, if the lord of the ascendant be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsa from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 9th house, the effects will be reverse. He may not get any property from his father. He may not be devoted to his father and may not do virtuous deeds. He will mix with sceptics. If the lord of the lagna be exalted and is conjoined with the lord of the 9th house, the person will earn much wealth and may renovate Shiva and Vishnu temples.

If the lord of the ascendant be placed in the tenth house along with its lord, the native will attain name and fame, will perform sacrifices, will have good status and rank in life and will be religious and orthodox. He will hold an influential post and get promotions in his service.

If the lord of the lagna be in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 10th house in the navamsa diagram, effects will be bad. He will earn a bad name in his office. He will not perform his duties. He will lose his influence and his orders may not be obeyed. He may commit sinful acts.

If the lord of the ascendant be placed in the eleventh house along with its lord, the person will make profits in his business and will get money through his elder brother and will have gains in many ways.

But, if the lord of the ascendant be in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas from the amsa occupied by the lord of the eleventh house, there will be very little gains and very little happiness. He may quarrel with his elder brother. If the ascendant lord and the lord of the 11th house be enemies, there will be constant obstacles to his gains.

If the lord of the ascendant be placed in the 12th house with its lord, the person will be poor and will lose the wealth of his parents. He will live in foreign countries and lead an unhappy life there, wandering here and there. Some good effects will also be there if the lord of the lagna be in his own sign.

14

In predicting the result of the planets, position of the planets in the rasis, navamsa and trimsamsa charts should be duly considered and also the effects of the planets conjoined with or aspecting the planets. Due consideration should be paid to the strength of the planets according to the panchasiddhanta principles.

15

Mutual exchange of planets, yogas (Raja yogas etc.), caused by the planets, planetary significance (karakatwa) and other factors should be very carefully weighed and judged and the final conclusion arrived at.

Principles regarding Sub-periods (Bhukties)

The length of the bhukti is calculated as follows :-- Multiply the period of the dasanatha in years by 3 and then by the length of the period of the bhukti lord. The result gives the number of days in the bhukti which may then be converted into years and months as necessary.

Illustration :

Suppose we have to calculate the length of the sub-period of Mercury in Saturn's major period.

Length of Saturn's major period = 19 days (1) Multiplied by 3, this becomes = 57 (2) Length of Mercury's period = 17 " (3) ------------------- Product of (2) and (3) = 17 x 57 ------------------- 969 days ------------------- 969 days = 2 years 8 months 9 days.

This is the length of the period of Mercury's bhukti in Saturn mahadasa.

Mathematically the method can be derived as follows :

Length of A dasa B bhukti

Let the number of years in the planet A's period = x years " " " in the planet B's period = y years Length of A dasa B bhukti = (x × y)/120 Years = (x × y × 360)/120 days = x × y × 3 days

Principles for the Interpretation of Bhukti results

The results of the bhukti are influenced by the following factors :--(1) The lord of the major period (the dasa natha), (2) the planets aspecting the dasa natha, (3) the planets conjoined with the dasa natha, (4) the lord of the sign (rasi) in which the dasa lord is placed, (5) the lord of the navamsa in which the dasa lord is posited, (6) the lord of the trimsamsa in which the dasa natha is posited. (7) the lord of the ninth house and (8) the planets in trine to the ascendant.

Effects of Rahu and Ketu :

Rahu and Ketu give the results of the lord of the rasi in which they are placed. यद्‌यद्भावगतौ वाडपि यद्‌यद्भावेशसंयुती । तत्तत्फलानि प्रबलौ प्रदिशेतां तमो ग्रहौ ॥ So also they give the results of the planets with which they are conjoined. The lord of the bhukti generally gives results according to the house in which he is placed, the house he owns and the rasi in which he is placed in his transit. This will be highly pronounced when it is strong by occupying exaltation, own sign, friendly sign or a trine. If he is a malefic, bad results will be pronounced. If he be of the mixed type, he will produce mixed results.

स्वभुक्तिविचार:

प्राय: स्वभुक्तौ स्वफलं दशानाथो न यच्छति । पूर्वभुक्त्यनुसारेण फलं तत्र प्रदास्यति ॥

अथचेत्स्वफलं दत्ते स्वभुक्तौ तु दशापति: । पश्चादन्यापहारेषु नैव दद्यात्स्वकं फलम् ॥

Kartari Yoga

If the lord of the dasa be a benefic but the lord of the bhukti be a malefic, in his bhukti, the bhukti lord will not produce his evil results. He will be passive.

Kartari Yoga

If the lord of the dasa be in the middle of benefic planets, he will tend to produce good results.

Kartari Yoga

If the lord of the dasa be in the middle of malefic planets, he will give bad results in the dasa due to the influence of the malefic planets.

Kartari Yoga

If the dasa natha be a maraka* grahs, but is at the same time a benefic by nature, the sub-period of the lord of the eighth house from the lagna may cause death of the native.

Kartari Yoga

If the lord of the eighth house, be a maraka, under the circumstances death will not take place in that period.

द्वयथेकादशौ च द्वाभ्यां मारकाख्यौ ।

Satyacharya gives an example by way of illustration

Satyacharya gives an example by way of illustration :

Satyacharya says here that the native of this horoscope, during the period of Mars, in the sub-period of Jupiter, will be employed as a writer. This is because Mars here is placed in conjunction with Jupiter in its own sign. As it is combined with Jupiter, writer's post is indicated. Secondly, since Mars owns the sixth house, the post will be in a court of law (or nyayalaya). Jupiter being nearest to Mars, influences Mars. As Jupiter is the lord of the 7th house, the appointment will be in a distant place, far away. As Jupiter is in Mesha, the place will be fertile, watered by many rivers and plenty of rainfall.

द्वितीयभावेशफलम्

द्वितीयभावेशफलम् The Dasa of the Lord of the Second House

2. If the lord of the second house be placed in its own house, during the course of its own dasa, the native will earn much wealth. But, if the lord of the ascendant be weak, the person will not be able to enjoy his wealth but will save it without spending. If the lord of the ascendant be strong, the person will enjoy his wealth and he will be much respected. As the second house indicates family and education also, these also will thrive. But, if the lord of the second house be in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas from the sign in which he is placed in the rasi chart, there may be loss of wealth or he may merely have a name as a rich man and not be really rich. As the second house happens to be the 8th from the 7th house, there is the danger of death of his wife or diseases to his wife and her relatives.

4. If the lord of the second house be in the third house, combined

3

If the lord of the second house be in the fourth house, conjoined with the lord of the 4th house, he will have good income through lands, education and conveyances. He may even come across with treasure somewhere. He may get the property of his grandfather. If the lord of the second house be placed in the 6th, 8th and 12th amsas from the amsa in which the 4th lord is placed, the good results mentioned above may not actually happen. If the lord of the 4th house is devoid of strength, he will have very little gains.

4

If the lord of the second house be in the 5th house with the lord of the 5th house, he will have gains of money during this dasa through the significations of the 5th house i.e., son, father, religious institutions, duty, king and his officers. If the lord of the second house be in the navamsa chart in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas, from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 5th house, the effects may not actually happen. Further, if these two planets be weak, actual gains will be very meagre. If the lord of the ascendant or the navamsa lagna be conjoined with the lord of the second house, gains will be very little.

5

If the lord of the second house be in the 6th house with the lord of the 6th house, income will be through the significations of the sixth house. Among the significations are uncle, loan etc. There may be expenditures due to illness etc. He may acquire income through uncles. As 6th is 9th from the 10th, there is possibility of getting income from profession. [These are views held by some. But according to the rule षष्ठं द्वादशमष्टमं च मुनयो भावनिष्ठान् विदुः, this is not favourable for the accumulation of wealth or increase of bank balance].

6

If the lord of the second house be in the 7th house along with its lord, the person may have gains through his father-in-law. He may reside in a foreign country and there he will get much wealth. If Ayurdaya agrees, in this period there is the danger of death as the 2nd and 7th houses are maraka sthanas. If the lord of the 2nd house be in

7

the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 7th house in the navamsa chart, the effects will be feeble or may not happen at all.

7

If the lord of the 2nd house be-placed in the eighth house with its lord, he will be involved in heavy debts. This is not a good combination and many evil results may happen. The native will not be happy. His wealth will be spent away. His wife may pass away or may do bad deeds. If the lord of the 2nd house be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsa from the amsa occupied by the lord of the 8th house, the results may not happen or may be opposite. If the lord of the eighth house be devoid of strength, he will lead a miserable life in a far-off place and may even eat food offered in funeral ceremonies. (2nd house is bhukti sthana).

8

If the lord of the 2nd house be in the 10th house along with the lord of the 9th house, the person will earn much wealth. His father will be very fortunate. But, if the lord of the 9th house be weak, gains will be very little.

9

If the lord of the 2nd house be in the 10th house along with its lord, he will acquire wealth through his occupation, government, royal favour, trade, gifts etc. The effects will be pronounced if there be a Raja yoga in addition. But, if the lord of the 2nd house be weak, actual gains may be very little.

10

If the lord of the 2nd house be placed in the 11th house with its lord, he will have much gains of wealth. He may acquire wealth through his elder brother. He will have profits indicated by the nature of the lordship of the planets conjoined with the lord of the second house or by the nature of the lord of the amsa in which the lord of the 2nd house is placed at birth.

11

If the lord of the second house be placed in the 12th house conjoined with its lord, the person will have large expenditures of money, in the ways signified by the planets conjoined with the lord of the 2nd and 12th houses. If the two lords are weak, expenditure will be small.

In the above cases, if the two lords are mutually in 6th, 8th or 12th amsas in the navamsa diagram, the results mentioned may not actually befall or may be very feeble or even the reverse effects

12. During the dasa of the lord of the 2nd house. there will be effects

13. During the dasa of the lord of the 2nd house. there will be effects : (a) of the planets in conjunction with the lord of the 2nd house or which aspect the lord of the 2nd house ; (b) the lord of the rasi in which the lord of the second house is placed ; (c) the lords of the navamsa and trimsamsa in which the lord of the 2nd house is placed ; (d) the house owned by the planet which is conjoined or is aspecting the lord of the second house. i.e. the significations of these planets are also to be taken into consideration suitably combining them with the delineations of the lord of the 2nd house.

Satyacharya says that he has been purposely brief and a wise astrologer ought to tell the effects in details by combining all factors of dasas and bhukties through his own intelligence and experience.

The Dasa of the Lord of the Third House

The Dasa of the Lord of the Third House

1. If the lord of the third house is placed in the ascendant along with the ascendant lord, the person will be very fortunate.

2. If the lord of the third house is placed in the ascendant along with the ascendant lord, the person will be very fortunate. He will conquer his enemies. He may earn money through music. He will be courageous and will have ear-rings set with gems. If the lord of the ascendant be in a female sign in combination with female planets and is also weak, the native will perform the role of a dancing girl and earn money. If the ascendant-lord be conjoined with malefic planets, his profession will be very bad and despicable. If the two lords be in 6th, 8th and 12th amsas in the navamsa diagram, the native will struggle very hard but his rewards will be very little.

3. If the lord of the third house be in the 2nd house, his brother may die or his mother may become ill during this period.

4. If the lord of the third house be in the 2nd house, his brother may die or his mother may become ill during this period. If the lord of the 3rd house be in its own, he might have to support and maintain his brother's family also. His brother may earn wealth decently (3rd house indicates brother. 2nd house indicates wealth).

3

सहजे सहजातेशे सहोदरसुभगाप्तितः । धनपुत्रयुतो हृष्टो भुनक्तित सुखमदम्भुतम् ।। सहजगतौ नृपमन्त्री सौहृदेऽतिनिपुणश्च । गुरुपूजनिरतोऽसौ नृपसेवाया: परं धनं लभते ॥

4

If the lord of the third house be in the fourth house with the lord of the 4th house, his brother will be happy and become famous in this period. The native may buy vehicles and conveyances. He will have gains through education and lands. He may manage the affairs of his village. If the lord of the 4th house be weak, his mother may suffer from diseases and there may be damage to his crops. If the lord of the third house be weak, his lands may be partitioned or he may construct a new house. During this dasa, in the sub period of a weak planet, he may have a fall from his vehicles. If the lord of the third house and the fourth house be in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas from each other in navamsa chart, there may be no vahana yoga and he may not be happy.

5

If the lord of the 3rd house be placed in the 5th house with its lord, he may become a great man or his brother may be helped by some noble men. The native may get wealth through the grace of some deity. If the lord of the 3rd house be very weak, the native may live as a cook or as a musician. If it be very strong, he will get much wealth from the king or government. If the lords of 3rd and 5th houses be mutually in 6, 8 and 12 amsas in the navamsa diagram, he will be very unhappy. If the lord of the 3rd house be in kendra or trikona in the navamsa chart, he will be fortunate and happy.

6

If the lord of the third house be in the 6th house along with its lord, during this period his brother may become inimical towards the native. Or his brother may fall ill or suffer from stomach trouble (गुल्मरोग). If there be a shubha yoga for the 3rd, he may be employed in the military or have an authoritative power post. He will derive help from his uncle. If there be connecton with the lord of the 6th

7

If the lord of the third house be in the seventh house in conjunction with the lord of the seventh house, his brother will go to a distant country. If a benefic planet be associated with the lord of the seventh house, his brother will live happily in that country. If the lord of the seventh house is weak and be in a chara (movable) rasi, his brother will undergo sufferings in that country and may even die there. The native will derive help and benefits from his father-in-law. [3rd house is 9th from the 7th and hence father-in-law]. Relatives of his wife will thrive. He may have a second marriage. Placement of the lord of the third house in the triangular, angular or labha (11th) amsas in the navamsa diagram is auspicious.' If the 3rd house lord and the 7th house lord be both devoid of strength, his brother will be wandering from place to place and will lead a miserable life. He may become extremely poor and live by begging. If the seventh house be a watery sign, the native may go on a pilgrimage to holy places.

8

तृतीयेशे त्वष्टमस्थे रन्धेशेन समन्विते । तद्भ्रातु: कर्णरोग: स्याद् शनुतश्च पराभव: ॥

8

When the lord of the third house is placed in the eighth house alongwith the lord of the eighth house, his brother will suffer from ear diseases. He may have troubles through enemies also. The same troubles can happen to the native also. If there be association with the lords of the sixth, eighth or twelfth houses, the person may amass good amount of wealth. If the lord of the third house owns the 8th house also, the troubles above mentioned (ear diseases, troubles through enemies) can happen to the native or his brother. There is the possibility of enmity with his brother and also the danger of death.

9

If the lord of the third house is placed in the 9th house with the lord of the 9th house, his brother will prosper well and will become rich during this period. The native may do charity. His patrimony will

If the lord of the third house be placed in the tenth house conjoined with its lord, daily rituals may be disrupted or there may be obstacles in the performance of his sacrifices, (10th house signifies sacrifices). If the lord of the 3rd house has combination with benefic planets, his brother may be in government service. But if it is combined with a malefic, his brother will be a bad person engaged in despisable activitics.

11

If the lord of the third house be placed in the eleventh house along with the lord of the eleventh house, his brothers will prosper very much during this period. His elder brother will be very fortunate from his childhood. Busincess will thrive yielding high profits and gains. His brothers will do well during this period. The nature of goods in which trade will be done will depend upon the nature of the signs and the planets involved. If the lord of the third house be devoid of strength, gains will be meagre. If the lord of the third house is in the 6th, 8th and 12th amsas, his younger brother will be poor. But his elder brother will be well-off. If the lord of the third house be in a feminine rasi, and be combined with female planets, these resutts have to be predicted for his sisters.

12

If the lord of the third house be placed in the twelfth house with the lord of the twelfth house and be weak, it is very evil for his younger brothers and sisters some of whom may even die in this period. The native will suffer from ear-diseases. He may lose or sell away his ear-rings. He will be ever wavering, unable to take firm decisions. If the rasi in which the twelfth house falls be a movable sign, his brother will stay in some foreign country. If the rasi is fixed, he will stay in the same place. In each case, the planets that are associated have to be taken into account as their effects will modify the results of the lord of third house.

The Dasa of the Lord of the Fourth House

1. If the lord of the 4th house be placed in the ascendant, conjoined with the lord of the ascendant, (or navamsa lagna) and if the two be friendly to each other, the native will have vehicles and conveyances in plenty. The fourth house denotes education. If the Sun is placed strongly by being in his exaltation or own sign, the person will possess knowledge about self (i.e. Atmajnana). The Sun being karka for father, his father will maintain good health and live happily. If the Moon is placed similarly, he will get good food. If Mars be strongly placed, he will purchase many lands, houses and will be successful in debates and literary contests. If Mercury be so, he will be highly educated and his maternal uncles will be prosperous. If Jupiter be the lord of the 4th house and placed in lagna strongly, the person will be a noble person and his mind will be pure. If Venus be likewise, he will be blessed with comforts, conveyances, good dress, and delicious food. If Saturn be so situated, the person will be bad, cunning and untruthful and will tell lies.

The Dasa of the Lord of the Fourth House

If the Lords of the 1st and 4th houses be placed in the 6th, 8th and 12th amsas in the navamsa chart the beneficial results will be only on a small scale. It is necessary to consider the strength of the planets also.

The Dasa of the Lord of the Fourth House

चतुर्थेशे द्वितीयस्थे स्वोच्चस्वक्षेत्रसंस्थिते । तथाविधे नवांशेऽपि वा बहुसौख्यं विनिर्दिशेत् ॥ तत्त्कुटुम्बस्य पत्न्याश्च दशा क्षेमप्रदा भवेत् । तद्राक्यम्मान्यतांयाद् नानासौख्यमवाप्नुयात् ॥ पापग्रहैस्तुसम्बन्धे फलं न्यूनं भविष्यति ।

The Dasa of the Lord of the Fourth House

2. When the lord of the 4th house is placed in the second house with the lord of the second house strongly by being in its exaltation sign, own sign or friendly sign or so in the navamsa chart, he will get

3

If the lord of the 4th house be placed in the 3rd house in conjunction with the third lord, it is not very good. 3rd house being 12th to 4th house, he might lose his lands, buildings etc., during this period. If the lord of the fourth house be exalted, in its own sign or be in arohana, or be with beneficial planets or be in the same amsa, the results regarding comforts through conveyances, education, lands etc., will be moderate.

4

If the lord of the 4th house be in its own house, and be strongly placed there, it is extremely auspicious. (If it be any one of the 5 major planets, Mahapurusha yoga will be caused). All the significations of the 4th house will thrive to a great extent. This is true even when the lord of the 4th house be placed in kendras or trikonas with strength. The native will get higher education, gains and happiness through his conveyances, buildings and mother. He will build new houses plant fruit trees and dig wells. If the lord of the 4th house be weak, the results will be less or there may be loss through these indications. If the lord of the 4th house be lord of an evil house also, results will be of a mixed nature. The lords of the amsa and trimsamsa, will produce the good results in their bhukties.

5

If the lord of the 4th house be in the 5th house in conjunction with the lord of the 5th house, or if these planets have interchanged their houses (i.e. 5th lord in the 4th and 4th lord in the 5th house), it is very auspicious. His children will prosper and be happy. The person will be a friend of nobles and lords. There will be abundance of corn, and cattle in his house. He may hold some post of authority and power in the government and will achieve good reputation. He will earn wealth through education and lands in the native place of his father.

6

When the lord of the 4th house is placed in the 6th house with the lord of the sixth house and if the significator is also strong, his mother will be happy; income from lands will increase; he will have good education and comforts of good conveyances; his maternal uncle

7

If the lord of the 4th house is placed in the 7th house with the lord of the 7th house, during that period, the native will live happily in some foreign land. But, if the karaka etc., are not strong, he may have difficulties and may even die there. If the lords of the 4th and 7th houses be placed in 6th, 8th, or 12th amsas in the navamsa chart, there will be no death.

तुर्येशे रन्ध्रसंस्थे तु रन्ध्रेशेन समन्चिते । क्षेत्रातिग्रहादीनां कष्टं तत्र भविष्यति ॥

8

If the lord of the 4th house be in the 8th house along with the lord of the 8th house, he will experience many difficulties and losses through his lands, cattle etc. His mother may not keep good health, his education may be stopped or there may be many obstacles on the way. There may even be difficulties due to litigations of his house. If the lords of the 4th and 8th houses be mutually placed in 6th, 8th or 12th amsas the evil effects will be much less. In each case, the strength and placement of the planets in the navamsa chart should be carefully looked into.

9

If the lord of the 4th house be placed in the 9th house along with the lord of the 9th house, good results have to be predicted as follows : If Mars be also strong in the horoscope, he will be fortunate through his lands etc. If Mercury be strong, he will have a good education. If Venus be powerful, he will enjoy comforts through conveyances, dress etc. If the Moon be strong, he will get property from his mother. If the lords of the 4th house and the 10th house be strong in their trikona or kendra amsas in the navamsa chart, the good results will be more. If they be mutually in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas in the navamsa chart, the results will be much less.

10

If the lord of the 4th house be placed in the 10th house along with the lord of the 10th house, immense good results will follow.

The person will hold a high post. If there be further association or aspects of benefic planets, he will hold a very high post. He may even be a king or a minister depending upon the strength of the benefic planets. He will be respected and held in high esteem. The good results will be prominent in the dasa and bhukti of the lord of the 4th house, 10th house being the house of sacrificial rites, if Jupiter be strong, he will perform many sacrifices. He will get promotions and gains in his employment or his business. He will have large gains of wealth through trade if the lord of the fourth house be the ruler of the eleventh house also. [This happens if karaka or maraka becomes lagna. In the case of Cancer ascendant, Venus is the lord of the 4th and the 11th houses. In the case of Capricorn ascendant, Mars rules the 4th and the eleventh houses.] If the planets be weak, the good results will happen only on a small scale. If they be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas, there may not be any good results at all.

When the lord of the 4th house is placed in the 11th house along with its lord, the native will have large gains of wealth without any effort. He will be happy and comfortable. If under these circumstances, there is an association of benefics in addition, the profits will be very enormous. The gains be through the things signified by the planets involved. Strength of the planets is also to be taken into consideration. If they are weak, profits will be very little. If the lords of the 4th and 11th houses be mutually in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas in the navamsa chakra, or they are aspected by malefics, the good results mentioned above may not happen. As the 11th house signifies elder brother, he will be happy and comfortable and if there is further combinations, the native may have gains of wealth through his elder brother.

When the lord of the 4th house is placed in the 12th house, along with the lord of the 12th house, generally bad results will occur, more particularly if the karakas are also weak. Then his education may be interrupted. His mother may not keep good health. There will be damage to his lands and crops. The person may not be happy for many reasons. There may be worries and difficulties. These things have to be decided by considering the strength, position etc., of the karaka planets. If the lords of the fourth and twelfth houses be mutually placed in sixth, eighth, or twelfth amsas from each other in the navamsa chart, the evil results above-mentioned will be very little.

Also if there be connection with benefics, troubles will be reduced to a large extent but combination with malefics will aggravate the difficulties and troubles.

13. In general, if the lord of the 4th house be in a kendra or a kona, or in his own sign and be strong, its sgnifications i.e. happiness, education, conveyances, lands, agriculture, etc., will thrive well. The native will dig wells and construct new houses. He will plant trees and his agriculture will flourish. In each case, the strength of the karaka planet be judged properly and then only the results foretold. If the lord of the 4th bhava rules evil houses also, there will be a mixture of both good and bad results. The position of the planet in the navamsa and trimsamsa charts is also to be considered. The significations of the planets which rule the benefic navamsas and trimsamsas in which the lord of the fourth house is situated should be considered and these may also occur during the period of the lord of the 4th house.

पंचमभावेशफलम्

The Dasa of the Lord of the Fifth House

1. In general, if the lord of the 5th house is strong by being in his own sign, own navamsa or his exaltation sign, during its period, the native will get children. If it is associated with benefic planets, the native may be a very rich person or he will have a large number of children. If the lord of the 5th house is in the eighth rasi or amsa from the lagna navamsa or from the lagna navamsapati in the navamsa chakra, the children become his enemies during the period. Otherwise, he will have happiness through his children during the period.

2. If the lord of the 5th house is placed in the ascendant along with the lord of the ascendant, he will become a great leader in life. He will be rich and possess many conveyances. He will have a small number of children. He may be adopted during his youth. If there be connection with benefic planets, he will be a friend of noble men and thereby benefitted. He will have divine grace and success in his undertakings. He will amass wealth and his worship will yield good results. If the lord of the 5th house and that of the ascendant be mutually in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas, good results will be very feeble.

He may not be adopted and he may not become a great man. Or, his friend will be only an ordinary noble man.

But, if there be present a combination for becoming an ascetic (sanyasa yoga), he will be head of a mutt, having many disciples who will obey him and please him with their presents. If the lord of the 5th house be devoid of strength, his many disciples will be low and ordinary and they may offer only ordinary type of presents, that too, very few in number.

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in the second house, along with the lord of the second house, his family will live happily and comfortably. This is because the second house denoted family, food, wealth etc. He will enjoy good food and his speech will be respected. His saying will come true by divine grace. But, if the lord of the fifth house be weak or be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas in the navamsa chart, the good results will be very little.

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in the third house along with the lord of the third house, during this period, his brother will become a prominent man with much fame. The native will get a child provided this period occurs in his early middle age. He will be courageous and free from mental worries. He might wear ear-ornaments. He will have good health and his body will be strong. But, if the lord of the 5th house be weak, or if the lord of the 5th house be in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas from the lord of the third house in the navamsa chart, the above mentioned good results may not occur or they may be very feeble and the person will not enjoy good health and his body will become weak.

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in the 4th house along with the lord of the 4th house, it is very auspicious, (5th house is a trine house while 4th is an angular house). As 4th house indicates happiness and conveyances, these will thrive. Kings will send presents to him. But if the lord of the 5th house is afflicted or weak, he may lose some children, (this is because 4th house is 12th to 5th house). He may be a teacher to a rich man who will go to his house for tution, (4th indicates education, 5th indicates noble men and 4th indicates house). Or he may receive lands or vehicles through a noble person. But, if the lord of the 5th house be weak, good results will occur only to small extent. If the lords of 4th house and the 5th house be

6

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in his own house, it is highly auspicious provided it is sufficiently strong. During its period, he may get children and if there be association with benefics, he will come in contact with noble men and will have happiness through his children.

7

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in the 6th house along with the lord of the 6th house, during this period, his maternal uncle will live happily. The native will also be happy. But, if the lords of the 5th and 6th be mutually in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas in the navamsa chakra, good results will not be realised and sometimes even evil results may prevail depending on the affliction.

8

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in the 7th house, along with the lord of the 7th house, and other benefic planets, the native will get money through his son. As seventh house indicates travel, his son may go to far off countries. Father-in-law of the native will be fortunate during its period. As 7th house indicates marriage, there may be celebrations of marriage in his family. He may feed the Brahmins and do other auspicious ceremonies. The native will have a pleasant time and will have divine grace. If the lord of the 5th house be devoid of strength and be in the same amsa in the navamsa chakra, there may be sickness to his children.

9

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in the eighth house, along with its lord, it is evil to children. His children may be short lived. There will be displeasure or enmity with his elders, father, deity etc. His worship (upasana) may not yield the desired results or it may go vain. If the lord of the 5th house be connected with malefic planets, these results will not occur. If the lords of the 5th and 8th houses be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas in the navamsa chart, the evil results will be greatly reduced.

10

If the lord of the 5th house be placed in the 9th house along with the lord of the 9th house, the period will prove very auspicious.

The person will rise to a position of considerable power and prestige. Even his father will be very fortunate by winning the favour of kings and nobles. Or it may be that the native acquires wealth through a rich and eminent person, or through his son. The good results will not be there if the lord of the 9th house is powerless. If the lords of 9th and 5th are mutually in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas in the navamsa chakra, good results will be reduced to a great extent. As the 5th house indicates God's grace, he will have fortune by the grace of God. If the lord of the 5th house be the Sun, or is placed in Sun's sign, he will be working as a clerk in some temple. If it be the Moon, (or in Moon's rasi), he will be employed as a treasurer. If it be Mars (or in Mars' sign) he will get money through the blessings of his village deity. If it be Mercury, he may be employed in a court of law. If it be Jupiter, he will be working in a charitable institution. If it be Venus, he may be in a zenana and earn income through dancing girls etc: If it be Saturn, he may be an authority imposing punishments (magisterial powers). In this way the details have to be judged and this is only a mere indication of the method to be adopted in offering prediction.

If the lord of the 5th house be in the 10th house with its lord, it is indicative of very auspicious results. This being a Raja yoga, the native will become a king during this period. (i.c., a very highly placed officer with all amenities.). 10th house being Raja sthana, this is surely indicated. Same results may be predicted even when the lord of the 10th house is placed in the ascendant or in the lagna navamsa. If, under the circumstances, the lord of the 5th house is strong by being in its exaltation or Vargottama positions, he will be a ruler of many countries. But, if the lord of the ascendant is weak, he may become a saint and may become the head of a mutt. If the lord of the ascendant is strongly placed in the eleventh house, the native will become a rich businessman. If the lord of the second house be in paramochcha position, his profits will be immense. If the lord of the second house be in a watery sign, or a chara rasi, the source of income will be sea-trade. The articles of trade will depend upon those ruled by the planets involved. Similarly, the nature of the posts held may also be determined by a careful consideration of the planets i.c. the lord of the 10th house, the lord of 5th house and the planets in association or aspecting them. The means of livelihood, government service, trade, agriculture etc., may be determined from the nature of these planets. Satyacharya recommends the judgement of the

पंचमेशे तु लाभस्थे धनलाभो भविष्यति। पुत्राद्वा प्रभुतोवादपि भ्रातृतो वास्य सम्भवः ॥ पंचमेशो गुरु तत्र साहाय्यं द्विजतो भवेत् । शुक्रे स्त्रीवशाज्ज्ञेयो राजद्वारा रवौ भवेत् ॥ बुधेऽपु वैश्यतो लाभः शनौ शूद्रादितो भवेत् । दु:स्थानस्याधिपत्ये तु विघ्नकष्टादिसम्भवः । शुभदृष्टियुतेश्चापि शुभायेतरदन्यथा ॥

If the lord of the 5th house be in the 11th house, the native will have gains of wealth through his sons or his brothers or a noble person. If the lord of the 5th house be Jupiter, the noble who will be of great help to him, may be a Brahmin. If it be Venus, he may get help through a lady. If it be the Sun, help will come from a king or government. If it be Mercury, it will be from a Baniya. If it be Saturn, it may be from a low-caste person like sudra etc. If these planets own malefic houses also, they may give troubles too. Association with benefics always promotes auspicious results and ameliorates evil results. Reverse will be the case by association with malefics.

If the lord of the 5th house be in the 12th house, the indications of the 5th house may suffer. The 5th house indicates children, intellect, mind etc. Thus, during this period, his mind may be disturbed. He may be having mental disorders, senility idiocy, etc. He may become afflicted with diseases like jaundice. His children will become sick or have other troubles. Or his father may become ill. This period will be very bad and gloomy for the native. Nobles will be displeased with him. If there be association with benefic planets, the person may pursue philosophical studies. He will become detached from worldly pursuits. He will do charitable deeds and will spend his money for good purposes. Association with malefics will prompt him to waste his money in bad ways. If the lord of the ascendant be weak, he will be wandering aimlessly in foreign lands without any benefit.

वष्ठभावेशफलम्

1. If the lord of the 6th house be placed in the ascendant, with the ascendant lord, during the period of the lord of the sixth house, the person may suffer from diseases, sores and disorders. He may have troubles through the government. If Rahu be in conjunction with the lord of the sixth house, there may be losses and troubles through thieves. If the Sun and the Moon be weak, he will suffer from poverty. If the lord of the ascendant be in conjunction with the lord of the 6th, 8th and the 12th houses, he will be afflicted with some serious disease like leprosy. If the ascendant lord be placed very near the ascendant or the lagna navamsa, the period will bring diseases, miseries caused by enemies, and poverty. These difficulties will go on increasing and there will be no relief from the troubles. If the lord of the 6th house is placed in the 6th, 8th and 12th amsas and if the lord of the lagna is in its own amsa, the bad effects will be greatly reduced.

The Dasa of the Lord of the Sixth House

2. If the lord of the sixth house be placed in the second house, along with the lord of the second house, significations of the second house will become bad. Quarrels in the house, losses through the actions of enemies, eye-trouble, tooth ache, untimely food, wound etc., are some of the bad results which can arise. Conjunction and aspect of benefic planets will certainly reduce the evil results. If the lord of the ascendant is also combined with the 6th lord, during its sub period in the major period of the lord of the 6th house, even death of the native may take place and there will be evil results during the boyhood of the native.

3. If the lord of the sixth house be placed in the third house along with its lord, his brother may become inimical towards him. The person may suffer from severe ear-troubles and there will be losses caused by enemies. If the karaka for the third house be weak, his brother will become sick. If a maraka planet be conjoined with the lord of the 6th house, the native may even die during this period. Association with benefics will reduce the evil results.

4. If the lord of the 6th house is placed in the 4th house and if Rahu be conjoined with the Moon, his mother will be of bad character and in her old age she will become very sick. If Mars be very weak, enemies will take away his lands. If Mercury be weak, his

5

If the lord of the 6th house be placed in the 5th house with its lord, some nobles will become his enemies. Or his sons or his father may be inimically disposed towards him. His children may become sick. Worship and austerities performed by the native will be interrupted due to impediments. There will be unnecessary quarrels with others. Conjunction with malefic planets will cause loss of children or childlessness. Conjunction with benefics will surely ward off much of the evil results.

6

If the lord of the sixth house be placed in the sixth house combined with benefics, results will be good. At the beginning of the period results will be those indicated by the planets in conjunction with the lord of the sixth house. The native will enjoy comforts and happiness during this period. He will overcome his enemies and there will be success in his undertakings. Income from his landed property will increase. He will wear good dress and acquire conveyances. If, however, the lord of the sixth house be weak, good results will be very little. If the lord of the 6th house be in conjunction with the lord of the 8th or 12th houses, throughout the period, the person will enjoy happiness (Vipareeta Raja yoga). If it be posited in the kendra or trikona navamsas, enemies may give him trouble. During the sub periods of the planets in combination with the lord of the 6th house, there may be unfavourable results.

7

If the lord of the 6th house be placed in the 7th house combined with the lord of the 7th house, significations of the 7th house may be bad. Thus, his wife will not maintain good health or may be sick. Or there may be quarrels, separation, misunderstandings with his wife. Or he may himself fall sick. (6th lord is aspecting the ascendant). There will be impediments to auspicious ceremonies. Further, if the

8

If the lord of the 6th house be placed in the eighth house combined with benefic planets, there will be good results. The sub-period of these benefic planets will prove auspicious. If the lord of the sixth house is combined with the lord of the ascendant in the rasi or navamsa chakra, the native will be troubled by discases and enemies from which there will be no relief. If the lord of the 6th bhava occupics malefic amsas, there will be serious diseases and troubles from cnemics. If the lord is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas but the lord of the lagna occupies auspicious navamsas, there will be relief from these troubles. The planet combined with the lord of the 6th house in the 8th house becomes a maraka and has the power to inflict serious diseases and even the power to kill.

9

If the lord of the 6th house be placed in the 9th house combined with malefic planets and the karaka of the 9th house is also afflicted, father of the native will be troubled by diseases and enemics. Property obtained from his father will be wasted away. If the lord of the sixth house be combined with the significator of the 9th house the father may pass away. If the lord of the 9th house and the 8th house be conjoined and if the 6th lord is also associated by conjunction or aspects in the 9th house, his father may die before his birth. If the lord of the 7th house is also combined in this yoga, his father will die in some foreign place. If the lords of the 9th house and the 6th house

be combined, there will be enmity between the father and the son.

If the lord of the 6th house be placed in the 12th house, his enemies will be wiped out. During the beginning of the lord of the 6th house, the native may commit some bad deeds. The lord of the 6th house can produce illness and evil results during the sub-period of the planets with which it is combined in the 12th house. If combined with benefics, the period of the lord of the 6th house will produce auspicious results. If the lord of the 6th house be in the 6th, 8th or 12th navamsas, results may not be good. But, if it be in the trikona navamsas, results will be good.

The Dasa of the Lord of the Seventh House

The Dasa of the Lord of the Seventh House

1. If the lord of the 7th house is placed in the 1st house with the ascendant lord, the native may go to some foreign place and live there happily. He will have frequent travels to distant lands and his wife will manage the household work. If there be combination with benefic planets, the person will be a sailor or a leader of a crew. If the combination is only with malefic planets, he will be a beggar. If there is combination with benefics and malefics, results will be mixed. If the lord of the ascendant be devoid of strength, the period of the lord of the seventh house may be a maraka. If the lord of the house

2

If the lord of the seventh house be placed in the 2nd house, in combination with the lord of the 2nd house, the native will have gains of wealth through his wife. He may get money from some far off place. Death may occur to the native or to his wife as the 7th and 2nd houses are maraka sthanas. Or he may live separated from his wife in a far off place. Or the native may have a second marriage during this period in a distant land. If the lord of the 7th house is in the 8th amsa etc., in the navamsa, his wife may not die. Other combinations, strength etc., of the planets have to be taken into account before venturing to give the prediction.

3

If the lord of the 7th house be in the 3rd house, conjoined with the lord of the 3rd house, father-in-law of the native will be fortunate. A second marriage is possible for the native. As the 7th house is a maraka sthana, during the sub-period of the lord of the third house, death or some evil result may befall on his brother. Or the native may go to some far off-place during this period. Combination with benefic planets will reduce evil results but the same with evil planets will make the evil results only worse.

4

If the lord of the 7th house is placed in the 4th house along with its lord, the person will lead a happy life with the relatives of his wife. He will have many travels in connection with his lands. During the beginning of the period of the lord of the 7th house, there may be celebrations of marriage etc. But his mother may die or fall sick at this period. He may acquire vehicles and wealth through his education in some foreign place. The good results depend upon the strength of the lord of the 7th house and the benefic influence it derives due to the combinations with benefic planets.

5

If the lord of the 7th house is placed in the 5th house along with the lord of the fifth house, it is very bad for his wife and children whom he may even lose. But if there be combination with benefic planets, evil results will be reduced and his children etc., will be happy.

If the lord of the 7th house be placed in the 6th house along with its lord, and at the same time if there be combination with malefic planets also, many evil results may be produced. His wife may be separated from him. Or she may fall sick during the period or she may die depending upon the extent of evil influences. Or she may be subjected to disgrace. His maternal uncle may die or meet with many troubles. Enemies may cause quarrels and troubles to the native. There may be theft in the house of the native. Combination with benefic planets will alleviate the troubles to a great extent.

If the lord of the 7th house is placed in the seventh house itself conjoined with benefic planets, it is very auspicious. He will be married early. His wife will come from a rich family and she will be devoted to her husband. She will be beautiful and the marriage will be performed on a large scale with music and other celebrations. During the course of this period, the native will perform many auspicious ceremonies. He will be much successful and fortunate during this period. But if the lord of the 7th house is combined with malefic planets, he may become a maraka and cause death or other troubles. If the lord of the 7th house is weak, the results will not be good.

8

If the lord of the 7th house be placed in the 8th house conjoined with a malefic planet and at the same time the karaka is also very weak, the period will prove very evil. The native or his wife may die or will have serious troubles or some severe illness. The native may go to foreign country and there he may get into miseries and troubles.

9

If the lord of the 7th house is placed in the 9th house in conjunction with benefic planets, the period will prove very auspicious. It indicates that the native will become fortunate through his wife. Thus he may get the property of his wife and much wealth. He will be very rich and remain happy throughout his life. He may be pious and virtuous. He may carry on his profession in some foreign place. The effect of the planets with which the lord of the 7th house is conjoined should be carefully studied. If the lord of the 7th house is powerless, good results will be very meagre. If it be in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas, good results may not materialise at all.

10

If the lord of the 7th house is placed in the 10th house, in conjunction with the lord of the 10th house the person will be very famous in some foreign country. He will do virtuous deeds there. He will be charitable and will do many religious deeds. His wife will be a noble lady. The native will be respected and honoured everywhere. If the lord of the 10th house be weak, results will be very poor. If the lord of the lagna is combined with benefic planets and the lord of the sixth house, the person will be a commander of an army. He will be good at horse-riding and will travel widely. He will acquire fame by conquering his enemies. He will meet with his death in some battle if there be a combination producing death.

सप्तमेशे तु लाभस्थे शुभग्रहसमन्विते । उच्चक्षेत्रादिसंयुक्ते विदेशे लाभभाक् भवेत् ॥ दारेशे बलहीने तु स्वल्पलाभो भविष्यति । पापग्रहैः समबन्धे विपरीतफलं भवेत् ॥

11

When the lord of the seventh house is placed in the eleventh house and is conjoined with benefic planets, is well fortified by being in its exaltation point etc., he will have much gains in foreign countries. If it be weak, the gains will be very less. If there be conjunction with malefic planets, the results will be otherwise i.e., only bad results will be produced such as losses etc.

12

If the lord of the 7th house is placed in the 12th house and be conjoined with its lord and if the karaka planet Venus is also very weak, it indicates danger to his wife and marital happiness of the native. There is possibility of the native going to foreign places and if there be the combination with benefic planets, the evil results will be reduced; but if there be only the influence of malefic planets by combination and aspect, the evil results will be more intense.

2

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 2nd house and be in conjunction with the lord of the 2nd house, there will be miseries and troubles in the family, expenditure of money, losses, quarrels in the house, etc. His words may not be respected. His wife will quarrel with him. If there be mrityu yoga, there is danger of death also (or some severe illness). The reason is, 2nd house is itself a maraka house and combination with the 8th lord worsens the matters. Eye troubles, tooth ache, misfortunes, lack of proper food are also some of the evil results which are indicated. If the lord of the 8th house be in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas, the bad results will be reduced to some extent.

3

If the lord of 8th house is placed in the 3rd house along with the lord of 3rd house, there may be evil results relating to the third house. Quarrels with his brothers, ear-trouble, debts, fear, loss of courage are some of the evil results which are possible. If the lord of the 8th house be conjoined with the lords of the 6th, 8th or 12th houses, the evil results will be reduced and there will be good results and even Raja yoga. Malefic combination, on the other hand, will make the troubles more intense.

4

If the lord of he 8th house is placed in the 4th house, along with its lord, happiness will be disturbed. The significations of he 4th house i.e. happiness, cattle, landed property, conveyances, education etc., will suffer. He may lose these or a portion of these depending upon the strength of the malefic combination. His mother may not keep good health and may fall ill sometimes. The influence of benefic planets will definitely reduce the intensity of the evil results. But, if there be a malefic influence, the results will be very bad. He may incur the anger of his superiors. There will be troubles to his mother, cattle and landed property. He may have to live in foreign countries with strangers. There is possibility of danger from beasts also.

5

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 5th house along with the lord of the 5th house, there will be misunderstandings with his father. Or his son may do some crime. The native may incur the displeasure of some noble and thereby have some troubles. His son

6

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 6th house in conjunction with the lord of the 6th house, it is good. For whenever the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th houses, good results are realised. If the 8th lord is combined with the lord of the 12th house, good results are experienced. And if it be placed in 1,4,7,10,5, or 9th house, it produces evil results mostly. There is, however, possibility of diseases during the period of the 8th lord as he is placed in the 6th house. But it is evil to his maternal uncle who will have many troubles. Also, there is danger from thieves and worries for the native. If the lord of the 6th house is strong, he will have long life. And he will crush his enemies.

7

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the seventh house in combination with the lord of the 7th house, it is evil to his wife. His wife may fall sick. If the lord of the 8th house is a malefic, the native may be affected with some disease and particularly so if there be some combination for death at the same time (mrityu yoga). But, if the lords of the ascendant and the 7th house are both strong, this period of the lord of the 8th house mostly produces good results.

8

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 8th house itself combined with benefice planets, the results will be beneficial. During this period, the native will get wealth, vehicles, conveyances and gifts from kings. He will be happy. If the lord of the 8th house is weak, effects will not be good or may be feeble. But, if the lord of the 8th house be combined with malefic planets, he will have serious troubles, diseases and other misfortunes. As the 8th house is evil to the 9th house, his father may die. He will fail in his enterprises and will be very unhappy.

9

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 9th house along with its lord and if the Sun (the karaka for father) is also weak, in that period, his father may die. He will have misunderstandings with his father. He may lose the wealth obtained from his father. The conjunction with benefits will reduce the evil results. If the lord of the 9th house is weak, this period may produce misfortunes, hardships, worries, provery and the anger of his superiors. One has to note carefully the nature of the planets associated with the lord of the 8th house before giving the predictions.

10

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 10th house, along with the lord of the 10th house, his profession will suffer set back during the period. He may follow a low profession or may be engaged in doing sinful deeds. He will be punished by the government for not obeying its orders. If the lord of the 10th house is weak, he will suffer from poverty. He may lose his mother, (the 10th house is a maraka sthana for the mother as it is the 7th from the 4th). If Mars be connected with the lords of the 4th or 5th houses, he may lose his landed property. Or he may be caught in debts. As a result, his creditors may take away his lands. If the lord of the 8th house be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th amsas, the evil results will be moderate.

11

If the lord of the 8th house be placed in the 11th house along with the lord of the 11th house significations of the 11th house will be spoiled. Thus there may be troubles to elder brother, losses in business, financial difficulties and debts. There may be disagreements with elder brother. Combination of benefic planets will alleviate the troubles while the same with malefic planets will make the troubles more intense.

12

Placement of the lord of the 8th house in the 12th house along with its lord is auspicious and is capable of producing Raja yoga. The same can happen even when the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 6th house. But, if benefic planets are combined with the lord of the 8th house, they will lose their benefic nature and bad results will happen.

अष्टमेशे तु षष्ठस्थे शत्रुबाधा भविष्यति । चिन्ता भय मनःक्लेशः शत्रुद्रारो भवन्ति हि ॥

If the lord of the 8th house is in the sixth house there will be

troubles caused by enemies. There will be worries, fear and mental troubles caused through enemies. If the lord of the 8th house is in the 12th house, the period will cause expenditure. If the lord of the 8th house is natural benefic, mixed results will be caused. The lord of 8th house yields similar results in his navamsa position. If the depositor of the lord of the 8th house, is in kendra or trikona position and is also associated with benefics, he will produce good results but may do evil to the house where he is placed. The period of the Ashtamadhipati associated with benefic planets will certainly do good. But even a benefic though well-placed combined with the lord of the 8th house produces bad results.

नवमभावेशफलम्

If the lord of the 9th house is placed in the 1st house with the lord of the 1st house, and combined with benefic planets, during the period, the native will be very fortunate. He will be rich and lead a happy life. He will have many conveyances. He will be powerful and will have high status.

He will get wealth from his father (because 9th house signifies father and fortunes) and his wealth will increase through his efforts. He will support and maintan many people and be charitable. He will hold a powerful post in the administration. The results will be very feeble if the lord of the 9th house be weak. If the lord of 9th house be in 6th, 8th or 12th amsa even these feeble results may not materialise. If Mars be the lord of the 9th house, the native will be commander-in-chief in the army (senapati) and will possess extensive landed property. If the lord of 9th house be in conjunction with Rahu, the native will serve under a lord or king of low caste (Mlechchha). If the 9th house lord be the Moon, the native may be an officer in charge of the treasury. In this way results have to be guessed for other planets.

If the lord of the 9th house be placed in the second house connected with the lord of the second house, the native will be very rich. His income will be enormous and may be more than a lakh. He will be highly respected and will be very influential. His family will flourish because of him. He will have all types of comforts. He will eat good food.

If Mars be very strong, he will have extensive landed property and thereby have wealth and be fortunate. If Mercury be strong, the person will make money through his learning. If the Jupiter be so in this combination, he will have high position and status i.e. that of a minister or a king. If Venus be powerful, the native will possess many conveyances and will lead a pleasant life using garlands, scents, sandal-paste etc. If Saturn or Rahu be strong, the person will be patronised by lords of low castes (mlechhas and neechas) and thereby the person will be fortunate.

5

If the lord of the 9th house, be placed in the 5th house, alongwith the lord of the 5th house, the person will be very happy. He will be greatly helped and benefitted through his father or a rich lord. If the lord of the 9th house be associated with the lord of the lagna, the native will himself become a powerful lord.

His son will be an intelligent person and known for his wisdom who will get royal patronage and occupation of a high rank under the king with all grandeur and respect.

7

If the lord of the 9th house is placed in the 7th house alongwith the lord of the 7th house, and there be combination of benefic planets also, his wealth will even be increasing. As the seventh house denotes journeys to foreign places, he may earn wealth in some foreign lands, (As the 7th house is an angular house, this combination produces a Raja yoga). The native will be born in a rich family. He will have all sortss of comforts and luxuries from his birth. He will have the pleasures of women, garlands, perfumes and other enjoyments. His father will be highly placed as a minister or senior official of high rank who will be a friend of the king in some foreign country and through royal patronage his family will get much wealth. If Mars is also connected, he will amass much wealth. If Venus is involved, he will get happiness through women.

8

If the lord of the ninth house is placed in eighth house, alongwith the lord of the eighth house, there will be several evil results such as loss of fortune, death of father, poverty etc. If these be placed in a movable sign, the native may be wandering in a foreign place without any benefit. If the lord of the ninth house be weak, the person will suffer from poverty and will be very miserable. The lord of the ninth house in debilitation, inimical sign or heliacal setting, produces much sorrow and misery. Combinations with benefics will definitely alleviate the troubles a good deal.

9

If the lord of the ninth house is placed in the ninth house combined with benefic planets, in its period, the person will be happy. His fortunes will increase. His father will also be very fortunate. The person may spend money for charitable purposes. If there be combination with evil planets, his father may not keep good health or may pass away, depending upon the intensity of the evil results.

He will be ever in fear of being punished by the government and his cattle may perish.

11

If the lord of the ninth house be placed in the eleventh house alongwith its lord, the person will have gains of wealth through his father or through business. The gains will be mostly through the planet that is combined with the lord of the 9th house. If the planet be the Sun, his father will have much power. If Rahu be so, his father will be very famous and the person will have gains of wealth through his father.

12

If the lord of the ninth house be placed in the twelfth house alongwith its lord, it is bad for the ninth house. The native may spend his wealth on charity. His father will be having troubles of many kinds. If the lord of the ninth house be combined with a benefic planet, the native may earn wealth in some foreign country. Or his father may go to some distant place. If the karaka be also combined with a benefic, his father will earn name and fame and become very powerful. Conjunction with malefics, on the other hand, will produce troubles either to him or to his father. If the lord of the 9th house be in 6th, 8th or 12th amsa, the results will be mixed.

6

When the ruler of the 10th house occupies the 6th house alongwith its lord, the person will become an officer in a court. His maternal uncle is likely to be a powerful person wielding much authority. The person may be employed in the army or may be practising as a doctor. The good results will happen when the planets are strong.

If the lord of the 10th house be placed in the 9th house

alongwith its lord, or if Jupiter is powerless, there will be obstacles in his daily duties.

If Mars be strong, his father will possess much landed property which may be exempted from tax. If Jupiter be strong, his father will rise to a high position in his life. If Venus be strong, he will get ornaments and vehicles. But, if Mercury be so, he will get good education. If Moon be strong, he may be in-charge of the treasury or may be engaged in agriculture or cultivation in gardens. If the Sun be endowed with strength, he will practise as a physician.

4

If the lord of the eleventh house be placed in the 4th house alongwith the lord of the fourth house, there will be gains through mother, lands, conveyance, education, and agriculture.

For example, the planets Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn may cause gains of wealth through green vegetables, agriculture, education, sugarcane, tree bearing fruits, Ragi, (Ararot) etc., may be the source of income. Benefic combinations with the lord of the eleventh house will cause gains through jewellery etc. But malefic combinations will bring in obstacles mostly and ruin the business during the period.

The nature and quality of the planets have to be considered carefully before coming to a conclusion.

8

He may earn through sinful acts. He may suffer from poverty. He may not have peace of mind which will be ever wavering. He may have some small benefits through low people. Benefic combinations will reduce the evil results. But if the lord of the eleventh house be weak, losses and debts will only increase.

9

If the lord of the eleventh house be placed in the ninth house with its lord, the person will have gains through his father or a rich person. If the lord of the tenth house be exalted, his father will become rich through profession.

If the lord of the eleventh house is placed in the 12th house, alongwith its lord, objects will not be achieved easily and there will be many obstacles in achieving the desired objects. Trouble is indicated for the elder brother. Benefic combinations and aspects will alleviate the evil results. Malefic combinations also will produce only similar results.

The Dasa of the Lord of the Twelfth House

But in the period of the planet that is combined with the lord of the twelfth house, there will not be any expenditure. If the lord of the ascendant be strong, his income will be more than his expenditure. The person will be happy and will be engaged in Vedanta Vichara (i.e. philosophical pursuits) in the company of good men. If the lord of the ascendant be weak, the results will be bad as told for Kemadruma yoga.

When the lord of the 12th house is placed in the 4th house alongwith its lord and also combined with benefic planets, the person will lead a happy life. He will possess lands etc. If there be combination with malefic planets, bad results may occur. His mother will have difficulties. There may be troubles to his lands, agriculture and conveyaces. If there be both benefic and malefic influences, the results will be mixed.

5

If the lord of the 12th house is placed in the 5th house, combined with the lord of the 5th house, during this period, a child may be born to him. But there will occur bad results also. As the 5th house denotes noble persons, it is possible that he may lose the good will and favour of a noble man. As the 5th house indicates intellect, his intellectual faculties may suffer. Combinations with benefic planets will ward off much of the evil results. If there be a malefic combination, children may not be born to him. Or there may be serious troubles to his children. Or his children may go astray and take to bad ways. Also, he may lose the friendship of some rich person and incur his wrath. Also, his father may have some difficulties and troubles. (Because 5th house is 9th from the 9th house.) The person may have troubles due to disturbances in his country and his profession may suffer.

6

If the lord of the twelfth house is placed in the 6th house alongwith its lord, the period will prove to be auspicious. (Here Vipareeta Raja yoga is caused). During this period, he will perform auspicious ceremonies and lead a happy life. Benefic combinations will promote the good results to a great extent.

7

If the lord of the twelfth house is placed in the seventh house, it is evil to his wife. If there is a death-producing combination in addition, she will die. She may live for some time in a foreign country. Benefic combinations will enable her to gain wealth. Malefic combinations, on the other hand, will cause much misery and troubles. The native may wander aimlessly. Or he may fall sick. Or his wife may have to suffer disgrace due to slander.

8

If the lord of the twelfth house is placed in the 8th house, the native will experience happiness and unhappiness almost of equal amounts. Benefic combinations cause auspicious results to happen. If there is combination with the lord of the 6th house, the period will prove to be extremely auspicious and cause good results to happen. Also, the effects will be modified by the nature of the planet associated with the lord of the 12th house.

9

If the lord of the 12th house is placed in the 9th house, it is evil to the profession of the person. If the lord of the 12th house is combined with the lord of the 9th house, the results will be ordinary. The person will spend money in performing good deeds in which he will take interest. There is danger to his profession. Always benefic combinations go a long way in reducing the evil results: A planet gives its results during its major period or sub-periods.

10

If the lord of the 12th house is placed in the 12th house combined with the lord of the tenth house, there will be expenditure of wealth on charity. Wealth obtained from his parents may be wasted away. Benefic combinations will cause expenditure for virtuous purposes, such as giving gifts and charities to good people and building of choultries etc.

11

If the lord of the 12th house be placed in the 11th house alongwith its lord, there will be obstacles to gain. Benefic planets will cause expenditure in auspicious ways. Malefic combinations cause expenditure in evil ways. The ways through which money is spent will depend upon the nature of the planets. Malefics cause expenditure through evil ways, enemies and thieves. There may arise misunderstandings with elder brother and thereby there may be losses. There may be both gains and losses of wealth.

12

Satyacharya gives here some general rules for the determination of effects. Effects will be good or bad according as the lord of the 12th house happens to be a benefic or malefic by lordship. If he owns benefic and malefic houses, the effects will be mixed. Planets owning a kendra and a trikona house become extremely benefic, as they are yogalkarkas. The nature of a planet has to be

ascertained with reference to the nature of rulership of houses and also according to the eight kinds of strength. Thus there arise three kinds of yogas--benefic, malefic and of misra (mixed) nature. A benefic yoga always reduces evil results and promotes auspicious results. Malefic combinations on the other hand, tend to reduce good effects and produce evil results, such as expenditure, debts and bad deeds.

व्ययेेशे तु शुभे यत्र शुभं विनिर्दिशेत् ॥

If the lord of the 12h house is a benefic (by rulership), he will produce good results.

If he is a malefic by rulership, he will cause bad results.

Maharishi PARASARA'S Ancient Classic on Hindu Astrology

Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra

(2 Volume Set)

Text in Sanskrit with Translation, exhaustive notes and examples in English.

Must For Every Lover of Astrology.

Adhyaya V

The Nature of Rahu and Ketu ; The Effects of Rahu and Ketu ; The Effects of Transits (गोचरफलम्)

The nodes Rahu and Ketu are the enemies of the Sun and the Moon. When they are joined with the Sun and the Moon they become weak. Similarly, the Sun and the Moon become weak when they come to the places of Rahu and Ketu.

Rahu and Ketu give the results of the planets conjoined with them or aspecting them. Their results depend upon the lord of the sign and navamsa where they are posited at birth.

When the nodes are joined with benefic planets, they yield good results. But while joined with malefics they produce evil results.

Satyacharya is of the opinion that Rahu and Ketu have no effects of their own but produce the results of the planets joined with them, aspecting them or those in whose rasi or navamsa they are placed at birth. Their nature is to be understood from the nature of the lords of the rasis and navamsas where they are placed at birth.

Effects of Rahu in Different Houses

1. Rahu produces evil results while placed in angles and trines.

2. In the second house, Rahu causes monetary expenditure and troubles to members of the family.

3. In the third house Rahu produces evil results to the brothers, ear trouble and makes the native little courageous.

4. In the 4th house, it causes discredit to mother and also sickness and troubles.

5. In the 5th house, it harms the children.

6. In the 6th house, it produces dread of enemies and troubles from snakes, thieyes, wind and enemies.

In the 7th house, it brings troubles to wife. It may also cause theft in some foreign place.

In the 8th house, it brings about serious diseases, death and torubles.

In the 9th house, it makes the person ungrateful, particularly to his preceptor, elders etc. Also it may cause hardships and troubles to his father.

In the 10th house, if it is afflicted, it will make the person follow low professions. Also it may enable him to have dip in holy rivers like the Ganges.

In the 11th house, his gains will be interrupted.

In the 12th house, it produces various kinds of expenditures of money.

Satyacharya says here that he has mentioned only few of the effects and the rest has to be guessed through one's own intelligence. Ketu's effects are also similar and they also depend upon the effects of the rasi in which it is placed at birth. The other results have to be intelligently inferred with the help of the Pancha siddhanta criterions.

Effects of Transits

The effect of transits have to be predicted with reference to the ascendant and the Moon's sign (Chandra Lagna).

Each sign is divided into eight kakshas or classes belonging to the planets : Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon and the Lagna in this order:

The ashtakavarga charts are to be prepared and if there is a rekha in any of the house in the ashtakavarga of a planet, that planet will give the results when it passes through the kaksha during its transit. The results depend upon several factors, the most important being (1) the nature of the house, (2) the nature of the lord of the house, (3) the sign in which the cusp falls and (4) the strength of the planet. If the lords of the signs and the house having a rekha are strong, they produce Dhatu, Moola, Jeeva and Misra results according as they are planets belonging to these categories. Here, the principles of the

Panch siddhanta criterion

Panch siddhanta criterion and the nature of lordship of the planets (whether benefic or malefic) are to be taken into account before arriving to the final conclusion.

Stellar Transits

Stellar Transits

1

1. The Sun gives good results when he transits through the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th stars from the natal star (Janma Nakshatra) and gives bad results when he transits the 3rd, 5th and 7th stars from the natal stars. The nature of the effects will depend upon Adhipatya (rulership) also i.e. rulership of evil houses like 6, 8 and 12 will produce beneficial results. The results of other planets have to be judged similarly.

2

2. The stars of the eleventh house owned by a benefic planet produce good results on the week-day of the benefic planet. The stars of the signs angular to the sign owned by a benefic planet also produce good results. The stars of the signs triangular to the sign owned by a malefic planet produce evil results. The Sun represents the soul or atman. The Moon represents the body, and lagna the prana.

Transit of the Sun

Transit of the Sun

1

1. During its transit through 3, 6, 11 signs from the Moon's signs, the Sun produces auspicious results like promotions, success, honour from kings and gain of wealth. In the 4th sign sorrow and unhappiness are caused. In the 5th sign worries regarding children. In the 7th sign misunderstandings with some noble person. In the 8th sign querrels, fear and sickness are caused. In the tenth house, he causes success in one's undertakings. In the 1st and the 9th house, he causes mixed results. In each case one is to take into account the nature of planets combined with the Sun and the position of the Sun in the navamsa chart.

When all the planets are placed in duel signs the yoga is called Nala. Under this yoga people with defective limbs or extra limbs are born. Also the people born under this yoga may be highly talented and rich and endowed with different kinds of enjoyments.

"सुनफानफादुरुघराभावे केमद्रुमः ।"

Varahamihira has quoted Satyacharya in his work Brihatjataka at several places with great reverence. Some of these are :

स्वमतेन किलाह जीवशर्मा ग्रहदायं परमायुः स्वरांशमू । ग्रहभुक्तनवांशराशितुल्यं बहुसाम्यं समुपैति सत्यवाक्यम् ॥

सत्योक्ते ग्रहभिष्टं लिप्तीकृत्य शतद्रयेनाप्तम् । मण्डलभागविशुद्धे डीब्धा: स्यु: शेषात्तु मासाद्या: ॥

स्वतुगावक्रान्तिस्त्रसंगुणद्रुततमस्वांशकभतृभागैः । इत्यान्विशेषस्तु भदन्तभाषिते समानमन्यत्प्रथममे डीप्यदीरितम् ॥

The Ayurdaya of a planet is to be trebled when it is in its exaltation or in its retrograde position. The same is to be doubled when the planet is in a Vargottamansa (वर्गोत्तमांश), in its own navamsa, in its own house, or in its own decanate. This is the peculiarity in the method of working out the ayurdaya according to Satyacharya. All else is similar to what has already been stated.

सत्योपदेशो वरमत्र किन्तु कुर्वन्त्ययोग्यं बहुवर्गणाभि: । आचार्यकत्वं च बुढ़नतायामेकं तु यदि भूरि तदैवकार्यम् ॥

The rule of Satyacharya is preferable (to that laid down by Maya or Jeeva Sharma). But some make the process inconsistent and unwarrantable by a series of multiplications. The dictim of the Acharyas (Satya and others) is the following :-

1. Where several multiplications crop up, only one, and that the highest, is to be gone through. (For instance, when a planet is in its own house, and in its exaltation and in retrograde motion, the Ayurdaya is not to be doubled first and then the result trebled and the second result further trebled. According to the rule, the Ayurdaya should be trebled once for all).

2. Again, when there are several reductions applicable, only one, and that the greatest should be made. (For instance, a planet may be in an inimical sign and may be eclipsed by the Sun. It is enough if the reduction by half, i.e. अस्तंगत Astangata reduction be made.)

रज्जुर्मुशलं नलशचाश्रयाज्जागाद् योगास्त्रीन् सदसद्वैदग्ध्यौ सत्यसंपों: क्थितौ पाराशरेण ॥

रज्जु Rajju, मुशल Musala and नल Nala are the three आश्रय Asraya yogas declared by Satyacharya to arise when the planets are exclusively in the movable, the immovable and the dual signs respectively. सक Srak and सर्प Sarpa are the two (दल) Dala yogas mentioned by पराशर Parasara due to the kendras being exclusively occupied by benefic and malefic planets respectively (the Moon being left out of account, benefic and malefic planets are 3 each).

सौम्या: पुष्टा पापास्तद्वानि संश्रिता याहा कुर्थु: । मर्त्यादिषु निधनेऽन्त्ये षष्ठे च विपर्ययात्फलदा: ॥

According to Satyacharya, the bhavas are generally advanced if good planets occupy them and reduced if bad ones should be in them. But in the case of the 6th, 8th and 12th bhavs the effects are

न कुंभलग्नं शुभमाह सत्यो न भागभेदाद्यवना बदन्ति । कस्यांश भेदो न तथास्ति राशेरतिप्रसंगास्त्वतिविष्णुगुप्तः ॥

जन्मनि चन्द्रः श्रेष्ठः प्रवदेद्वोरारिधनवर्ज्यः स्यात् । होरा च भवेदिष्टाद्रिपदेशविह कुंभवज्योहि ॥
