The total bindus are 49.If we add this to the total bindus
of the seven planets, we get 586. From Lagna toq,we must
apply the two reductions of trikona and ekadhipatya and then
apply Rashi and Craha multipliers.
In the longevity given by Ashtaka varga and Amshayu no
deductions are to be made. On the other hand when a
planet is exalted, the years given by it are to be trebled; if
in its own varga (sign) it is to be doubled; if in an adhimitra
house one half is to be added; if in a friend's house add
one-third. Still some deductions are enjoined. If it is in an
inimical house or adhi-shatru house, one-third is to be
deducted. This is the best method to be followed, says the
text.
Possibly the links missed by the subsequent writers are
to be found in those verses of Brihat Parasara llora. One
must experiment on these lines to find out whether the
Ashtaka varga system of calculating longevity gives us a reli-
able method. If we take the system to be not fully reliable we
' cannot explain why
even Mantreshwara said:
: vr{qrgilftrq;1
ASI|TAKA UARAA 549
'Of all the methods for
calculating longevity, the
Ashtakavarga method is the best.' If so, the defect may lie In
our ignoring the lagnashtaka varga. It is earnestly believed
that serious students of astrology will include thls
I"agnashtaka va4la to satisfy themselves of the usefulness of
this method.
According to Jataka Partjata, some teachers, followlng
great masters, argue that the number of years for the lagna
derived from the lagna ashtaka varga have to be added to
this (10.48). But for lagna we get Rashi Pinda and not any
Graha Pinda. This is for the research scholars a serious
problem.
Now consider the samudayika (ttt5<tfuO) nshtaXa Varga.

Another obstructing force or point is known as vedha.
When the Sun transits I lth, Srd, lOth and 6th from

when other planets at the same time transit sth, gth,

Similarly Mercury for the Moon, the Sun for Saturn, the Moon
for Meriury do not cause vedha. This happened in the Moon's
sub-period during the m4ior period of Saturn. Here the vedha
from the Moon to salurn is obstructed by venus. But transit
vedha worked.
Latta is another obstructing point. The counting of the
constellation is in the reverse order for Prishtha Latta and in
the regular order for Puro Latta. The 12th star from that
occupi"O by the Sun, the 5rd f,rom that of Mars' the 6th
from that of Jupiter, the 8th from that of Saturn are Puro

Sarvatobhadra Chakra also explains the points of vedha'
Following Jatakabharana' Iloraratna. Baia Viiaya' Svala
chintaiani and other works we explain this and its signifi-
cance. First we draw the figure as below :

same time one is not likely to live. One vedha causes fear,
two bring loss of money, three obstacles, and four death.
In the vedhas of individual planets, different results
follow. The Sun's - misunderstanding; Mars - loss of wealth;
Satum - ill health; Rahu and Ketu - obstacles; the Moon -
mixed results, Venus - pleasures; Mercury - intelligence;
Jupiter - good effect. When the planet causing vedha is
retrograde, the result is twofold; in exaltation threefold; in
rapid direct motion the normal effect; in depression the
effect is half. A malefic vedha on a Tithi, Rashi, Amsha, or
Nakshatra should be avoided for all auspicious undertak-
ings. lf a vedha caused by a retrograde malefic occurs
during sickness, the patient is not likely to survive; but if the
malefic is in direct motion, the ill-health will subside. lf the
vedha is caused by a malefic on the week day of one's birth
there will be mental anguish.
The transit of the Sun in Vrishabha, Mithuna, and
l{ataka makes the East appear as set. The vowels 3{, 3, q, 3il
may be taken as belonging to the east; 3lI, s, q, 3il to the
south; E, ;8, q and 3i to the west; { a t ed:to the north.
During the time the Sun stays for three months in any
direction, all the stars, vowels, consonants, Rashis, and
tithis are considered to be set.lWhen a star is set and there
is vedha, the result is ill-health; when a consonant, loss;
when a tithi, fear; when all the five have vedha, the result is
death. The consonants and vowels refer to the initial letter
of the name of the native.
If these are not set, the vedha produces different re-
sults. If a star, growth; if a consonant, gain; if a vowel,
happiness; if a Rashi, success; if a tithi fame; if all the five,
btatus.
When a planet transits over the sth, 8th, l4th, l8th,
.2lst 22nd,23rd and 24th stars counted from the one in
which the Sun is posited, there will arise obstacles. Count-
ing from the birth star, where there is a malefic vedha on
the lst, loth, lgth and21rd stars, the results are respec'
tively death, sorrow, absence from one's place, and quar-
TBANSIT IIIFLUENCES 557
rels. When the vedha is on the lgth star, something unte
ward will happen. If it is on the l6th, there is loss; if on the
28th, one may be imprisoned; If on the 27th, there is
expulsion. But if these vedhas on the Sth, gth, l4th, I lth
Zlst, 22nd, 23rd, and 24\h stars counted from the Sun.
In the Prakirnadhyaya of Uttara Khanda of p,&ara
tlora, Chapter 6 and verses lg to 23 yye have a list of
Pachakas and Vedhakas. Their places are counted from the
house occupied by a planet. We tabulate :
PIanet Ifouse Vedhaka Ifouse Pachaka
Sun II Venus 6 Saturn
Moon 5 Sun 7 Venus'
Mars 12 Mercury 2 Sun
Mercury 5 Mars 2 Moon
Jupiter 12 Sun 6 Satum
Venus 4 Satum 2 Mars
Saturn 7 Mars 3 Venus
From Lagna, Pachaka planets are the Sun In the 6th, the
Moon in the 7th, Mars in the 9th, Mercury in the loth,
Jupiter In the I lth, Venus in the 8th, and Saturn in the 4th.
All these have an important role to play when we Interpret
the signlflcance of the planetary transits. As parashara ob,
serves, the Vedhaka obstructs the emeryence of the results,
and so does the Pachaka to some extent.
During the transit the Sun, Rahu or Ketu glves good
results when he is in the Jrd, the 6th, the lOth houses from
the Moon; the Moon in the lst, the 5rd, the 6th, the 7th, the
loth; Mars and Saturn in the 5rd and the 6th; Mercury in the
2nd, the 4th, the 6th. the 8th, the lOth,. Venus In ptaces
other than the 6th, the 7th the lOth; Jupiter in the 2nd, the
5th, the 7th, the gth. All planets give good results in the
I lth.
L,eaving Latta and other factors aside, we can tabulate
the vedha signs, counting these from the sign in which the
Moon is located.

Moon has the Republic's Moon in the 12th, though the two
l,agnas are in trine. As transit Saturn moves into Scorpio, he
has a troublesome period. tlis lOth lord and the Republic's
lOth lord are again in 2-12 relationship. In both the charts
the 6th lords are debilitated. But it is only in the Republic's
chart this debilitation is cancelled.
Let us compare these two charts with Chart 5 which is

the year is retrograde in his exalted 8th house whose lord is
debilitated in the 6th. The lOth lord in the Bth and the 7th
retrograde in the 4th and aspected by the lord of that house
(Mars) forebids great trouble, collapse of law and authority
in several parts, and mounting tensions in our
neighbourhood. The Republic's chart indicated some of
these after l5-8-1985 and before l5-5-1986' The Moon in
Uttarabhadrapada (Chart I ) brought economic and indus-
trial recession after April 27. Some time between October
29 and January 4 there were serious troubles. The Presi'
dent has having the subperiod of Rahu in Mercury from 22-
4-lga4. His Mercury and Rahu are in the 8th and the 4th
from the Republic's chart and in the loth and the 6th from
the lunar year's. This correlation along with the transits did
not appear to augur fullY well.
l.ooking back to the chart of the lunar year (Chart 4) we

that of the fifth, and the tlrird is the Moon. With such a group
is associated Mars who afflicts Venus in the fifth. There can be
no further proof of a remarkable vacillation of the mind.
It is from the third house and Mercury that we will have to
find out whether an individual can have a firm intellectual
determination. A determination to do a certain thing actually
comes from Mars.StrongSun and Saturn enable one to realise
one's ambitions. The nativity of Alexander shows the Sun
separating from the sextile with Saturn. Mercury is well placed
in the fourth, while the Sun is applying a sextile to Jupiter.
Here is a determined mind, a characteristic of Aries generally.
Ability also needs a little of diplomacy. To be a diplomat
one should have a sweet tongue and a pleasing behaviour,
gifts depending on Venus; and the diplomat's power to
work in a hidden way depends on Neptune. Intelligence,
patience and selfrestraint are all necessary in diplomacy,
and these spring from Mercury and Saturn. Von Papen (born
October 29, lA79 at 5 p.m., L.M.T.) is a good example. But
a better one is the chart given below. Here we find Vunus
strongly situated in the tenth in trine with the Moon. Nep-

tune is actually in the cusp of the fifth bhava. Saturn is power'
ful in the seventh in trine with Jupiter' With such features
displayed by the chart, the native is bound to reveal his
abilities in a very impressive and significant manner.
Goethe's horoscope presents us with a very interesting
example of manifold abilities. Saturn is in the cuspal degree
of the Ascendant, in trine with the Moon. Venus is in
opposition to Jupiter, making him thereby a gifted poet.
Neptune's location in the ninth bhava is significant as reve-

by the lord of the lOth, the planets near the Sun and near
the lOth-these have to be considered carefully. Then note
the kind of triplicity to which the concemed sign belongs.
An airy sign indicates mental powers, planning, oratory,
fluency. A fiery sign suggests force of character, grit, ability,
self-aggressiveness, factories, dangerous pursuits, surgery,
dentistry. An earthy sign gives patience, planning for mate-
rial welfare, agriculture, foodstuffs, stocks and shares,
clothes, gardening, and immovable properties. A watery
sign suggests liquids, commercial travellers, agencies,
dress-makers, furniture shops, laundries, hospital chemists
and druggists, nurses, salesmen, navigation and so on.
The Sun refers to royal or state appointments and
favours, ministers, magistrates, medical persons, gdld-
smiths and doctors.
The Moon refers to travellers, sailors, hawkers, nurses,
public commondities, mid-wives.
Mars governs iron, cutlery, machines, surgeons, chem-
lsts, soldiers, sergeants, factories, debators, lawyers, logi-
cians, butchers and barbers.
Mercury governs orators, teachers, accountants, poets,
authors, editors, printers, mathematicians, merchants, in-
surance, messengers, conjurors, buffoons, dancing mas-
ters, sentinels, painters, grammarians, dialecticians, and
health officials.
Venus governs pleasurable and aesthetic pursuits. Here
are artists, musicians, actors, perfumers, jewellers, silk and
embroidery, medicine, cookery, and flower dealers.
Jupiter governs religious teachers, priests, lawyers,
judges, scholars, university professors, grammarians, phi-
losophers, and physicians.
Saturn rules varied professions. Saturn on the cusp of
the lOth gives eminence, authority, and power. Saturn re'
fers to agriculturists, miners, gardeners, lead, astronomy,
metaphysics, philosophy, theologr.
The intellectual signs are Qemini, Libra and Aquarlus
and they intensify the powers of thinking and planning.

In the olden days foreign travel was by sea and the
Uatery signs (Cancer, Scorpio and pisces) were considered.

have also to note whether these are in movable or common
signs.
The purpose for which one goes abroad is determinecl

account of Paradesa saham and Jataprathana saham. The first

of the 7th, gfh or l2th house.
The lords of the 4 or g and Mercury indicate foreign travel
for study. The lords of 9 or lO refer to the reasons of career.
The lords of 2 or I I can refer to financial reasons. lords of l

the lOth lord from it is in the 4th. From Karakamsa the lord
of the 8th is in the lOth. Satum is also in the 8th, while the
6th lord is in the secretive Scorpio. All these fit into his
career as a diplomat.
tle started his career in the major period of Juplter and
he retired in June 1989. The houses involved in this chart
are 1,6,8 and lO along with Scorpio. Common signs
Cemini and Sagittarius have played a m4jor role - one of
them being airy. The 9th is a movable sign which is partly
watery aspected by a debilitated Mars from a watery sign.
This can be a reason why he could not rise up to the highest
position in the embassy.
In the chart of Mr. K.P.S. Menon (L"agnaTaurus) the
Moon (27), Yenus (16) and Satum (17) are in the secretive
Scorpio, while the 8th lord Jupiter is in the 5th. The Moon

sador at Moscow. lt was during his stay there that the Russian
attitude towards our country changed in our favour. The I Oth
lord is in Lagna. The 5th (tact, shrewd intellect etc.) is
aspected by its own lord from a watery sign. The 7th and 8th
lords are together in the watery 5rd; Jupiter aspects the 5th
and 6th lord Saturn. Scorpio and the moveable Cancer has
made him a successful diplomat. Saturn also aspects the
Lagna and the 8th.
A good aspect between Mars and Uranus reveals energy,
decisiveness and will-power which are needed in diplo-
macy. A similar aspect between Saturn and Uranus gives
initiative and good will-power. Foresight and tact result from
a benefic aspect between Saturn and Neptune.Thus we find
in the 5rd chart the lords of 9 and lO, I and 5 and 5 are in
the secretive 7th. Saturn and Uranus are conjunct Venus.
Breadth of outlook, originality and tremendous will-power
are contributed by Uranus.The political planet Sun is in the
6th aspected by Mars. With great tact and patience he
sought a solution to our relations with China. This is the
chart of Mr. K.P.S. Menon referred to earlier. While in the
second chart Uranus aspects the 8th house, here he is in
the 7th, directly making him a career diplomat.
The 6th house refers to service, like the lOth. The 9th is
the house of remote exploration, foreign travel, relations

Fate remains on his side and gives him an inflexible will. His
remarkable powers of intellect make him an expert of no
mean order in stratery. It is no wonder that Napoleon's
ascendant falls here. Sir John French's ascendant and
Clbmenceau's Moon also appear here.
The first degree of Scorpio presents the reverse of the
above. lt reveals a very harsh destiny. Napoleon lll had his
Saturn here. The polarities are strongly emphasised in the
lSth degree of Sagittarius. One can be the most innocent
character or the most blood-thirsty and ambitious con-
queror. We find here the ascendant of Tamberlane. The
23rd degree of Sagittarius points to a deep and
unquenchable thirst for absolute power. This degree is par-
ticularly significant in Napoleon's nativity; the presence of
Pluto here may provide a clue to the real nature of the
lnfluences of Pluto.
The second degree of Capricorn is a highly constructive
spot. Intellectual and utilitarian aspects come out promi-
nently in close ceoperation. The native may be said to be a
creature of fortune; he will not only be elevated when the
wheel of fortune takes him up, but also hurl him down.
Such is the Moon's position in the nativity of Woodrow
Wilson.
The second degree of Aquarius reveals a very bright
mlnd which is not allowed a smooth Passage. The native
will remain unhappy inspite of his qreat achievements.
Lincoln's Sun appears here.
A revolutionary temper is revealed by the third degree of
Pisces. The native will have keen powers of observation and
many devoted followers. But he often falls a victim to the
mean. Robespierre's nativity reveals this aspect clearly'
The seventh degree of Pisces forebodes an overvaulting
ambition combined with tremendous innate energy. lt is a
naturally aggressive point, and it is capable of making the
native drift'?nto base malice. This was the degree occupied
by the Sun in the horoscope of the Third Reich. It is the
ninth degree which carries this envy further; and Neptune
was here in the horoscope of Lloyd Ceorge, whose slogan
'Hang the l{aiser' is not likely to be foryotten.

3. Judiciary
Law is one of the intellectual professions. It demands a
strong Sth house and an equally strong lord of the 5th
house. Airy signs have to be prominent-Cemini, Libra and
Aquarius. The planet governing law is Jupiter, while Saturn
is the planet of justice.
Besides these two major planets, there are others in-
volved. Mars regulates energy and the initiatory force.
Jataka Parijata observes that one having Jupiter in the 9th
aspected by the Moon and Saturn becomes an exponent of
law (14.72); and that Mars associated with Venus also gives
the legal profession (14.76). The second observation is
debatable since it refers neither to Jupiter, nor to Saturn,
nor to Mercury.
The lOth lord placed in the 6th brings the native to-
wards the judiciary. Libra generally governs lawyers, solici'
tors and judges. Jupiter or Saturn in the lOth in Libra refers
to the law. The same result arises when Jupiter and Mercury
are in Aries or Sagittarius in the loth. The Sun in Gemini
refers to an analytical study of law. Aquarius is another
powerful legal sign. The 6th house seems to have some-
thing to do with the judiciary. We will explain some of these
principles with the help of examples. Chart 4 is that of the
first President of our Republic. The I Oth lord Mercury is with
Mars in Lagna, aspected by Jupiter and Saturn. The associa-

Again we notice the role of Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter's
association with the lOth lord and his aspect on the 4th lord
(who has exchanged signs with Saturn) probably explains his
position in the-teaching line.
Jupiter and Saturn play a mqjor role in the careers of
successful advocates,jurists and judges. These have a rela-
tion to houses 6 or lO or both, and to airy signs in general'
For an analytical and keen mind Mars and Mercury should
be well placed, along with the Sth house and its lord.
4. Poets
Architecture, sculpture, painting, music, dance and po-
etry (literature) are the traditionally established six fine arts'
Some forty years back Herbert Read argued that the film is
the seventh fine art. Those who have creatively contributed
to these are the artists.
The artist needs an active imagination. Imagination is
expressed more clearly by the fiery and watery signs. Psy-
chologically speaking, the fiery signs reveal the projection
of the soul inLo the external world. The nature and activity
of the self can be guaged from these signs. Assertion (Ar-
ies), manifestation (Leo) and development (Sagittarius)of
the self are governed or regulated by the will in these signs'
These are highly Positive signs.
The watery signs are negative. Preservation (Cancer),
discipline (ScorPio) and abnegation (Pisces)of the self are
revealed by these. The other signs can also give rise to
artistic works. But they are not of much significance.
'OT|E PROFESSIONS 627
The Moon, Mercury, Venus and the Sth house are impor-
tant in evaluating the abilities of a poet or a painter. The
sign Aquarius gives rise to day dreaming or the poetic
expression of visions and dreams. Libra, Pisces and Nep-
tune also govern dreams, visions and flights of mysticism.
Chart lB is that of Lord Tennyson. The 2nd hosue has
Venus, the significator of the fine arts. Mercury as the lord
of the 2nd and Sth houses is in Cancer, while its lord is in

Artistic ability is indicated by Venus and the houses
owned by it. Libra is of particular significance. Our ancients

5. Philosophers
By a philosopher we mean one who with the help of
systematic reasoning develops a view of the Universe and
presents it to the people. The view of the Universeincludes
his argued conclusions regardingthe nature of Reality, Soul
and Self to external Univserse,and the relation between the
Soul and the Universe, and between the Soul and Reality'
Consequently we are not concerned here with the saints
and seers who do not employ logical and metaphysical
reasoning. Flence a philosopher is one who is concerned
with the epistemological and ontological enquiries.
Well aspected and well placed Taurus gives the native an
awareness of Nature as a concrete reality. Such natives

great metaphysical powers. These are also indicated by the
aspect of Saturn on Cemini.

plains his logical and metaphysical powers. The Lord of the

great intellectual power and a deep metaphysical strain.
The Sun in trine to Saturn made him think and argue sys-

The heavenly bodies do rule the fate of men and nations
to a certain extent. The controlling and the most beneficent

Lagna and Mars. The lord of the 5rd is with Rahu in the
l2th, hemmed between malefics. The 5th lord is aspected
by malefic Jupiter who in turn is aspected by Mars. Lagna
and Mars are on the same degree and in the constellation of
Rahu along with Rahu. Jupiter's aspect on Rahu made him
a fanatic all the more. Lagna and the lord of Lagna are badly
afflicted by three great malefics. The Sun being in the 9th
from the Moon indicates mental perversion. Even Jupiter
and the Moon in the 4th could not be of any help because
of the aspect of Mars. It was in Satum's sub-period of
Jupiter he committed the crime. Satum being in Ayudha
Drekkana, he was hanged to death. Mars is the lord of the
6th and Saturn of the 8th, and both afflict Lagna. Jupiter is

and seventh from arudha lagna is in the third from the lords
of these signs there is the conjunction of Shani and Rahu, one
has the inflamation of the kidney. For kidney ailments, we
have to look to the afflicted houses of Venus, Mars and Saturn
and to the sixth and seventh houses.
If the third and eighth from lagna and the karaka have the
vargas of Vrishabha and Dhanus, and these are occupied by
Mars one suffers from boils or tumours. Boils and skin erup,
tions are related to Virgo, Scorpio, Libra, Saturn and Mars.
Haemorrhoidsrefer to afflicted Scorpio and Jupiter. Mars and
Uranus are involved in surgical treatment. Ovarian tumors
involve Venus and Cancer.
If the eighth from the atmakaraka is assosited with Mer-
cury one has diarrhoeaor dysentry.Dysentryis also indicated
by the mutual opposition of the Moon and Mars or by Saturn
afflicting lhe sixth. The eighth from the lord of the Karaka is
a house owned by the Moon, acute fever can he predicted.
Mars in the eighth from Sun produces cancer in stomach,
bowels, head etc.
Mars produces cancer of blood, marrow, genitals, uterus,
neck etc.
Mercury produces cancer of nose, navel, mouth etc.
Jupiter produces cancer of liver, ear, tongue, thighs etc.
Venus produces cancer of throat, genital organs etc.
Saturn produces cancer in legs, hands, places around
teeth etc.
Rahu produces cancer in private parts of the body.
Ketu produces cancer in private parts of the body.
Urinary Diseases: Libra and Scorpio are the seventh
and eighth signs of the Zodiac. Their rulers viz, Venus and
Mars and also seventh and eighth houses from the lagna are
concerning with urine diseases. It is observed that when
these houses and their lords and the Karaka planets are ill
placed and weak and if they are in any way related with the
sixth house or its lord it indicates the disease. The signs
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are called watery signs. These
signs also rule the urine. When Saturn in any way is con-
nected by assocition or aspect it produces stones in the
urinary passage.

9. Ttrberculosis
Today a great number seem to be the victims of tuber-
culosis in our country; and too frequently do we hear of the
opening of new sanatoriums. Whatever may be the actual
physical causes that bring about this disease, we should
analyse astrologically the data that is available and try to
find out the particular planetary positions responsible for
this ailment. Before we proceed in our enquiry, we have to
note certain principles that are given by the authorities.
Cemini or Mithuna rules the chest and Cancer or Karkataka
controls the heart. Virgo is a mental sign and it must be
considered in all ailments. It is the sign representing sick-
ness and it stands for the liver and the intestines in particu-
lar. Likewise the sixth sign from the Ascendant is important
in this enquiry. The vitality of a person is controlled by
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
have power over the bones and the flesh; Qemini, Libra and
Aquarius have their sway over the breath; and the other
three govern the blood. Then again we have to read con-
sumption, pneumonia, rheumatism and asthma from
Gemini; and Piscestoo has something to say about tubercu-
losis. Coming to the planets, the Sun governs the heart and
bone, Mercury controls the lungs and Jupiter rules over the

The Sun ruling the heart is in the Bth. Consider the navamsa
chart.
tlere the Sun is in the 5th aspected by the Moon. Heart
and tumours are ruled by these repectively. The 4th is
apected by Shani, and its lord is in the 8th with Shukra and
Ketu. Libra, Venus and the 7th house refer to the lower
abdomen. In Rasichart Venus in Libra (7th house) is
aspected by Mars and Saturn. The Atma Karaka is the Moon
and the Karakamsa lagna is Cemini.
His Budha's m4ior period started on June 2a, L987. The
sub period of Ketu was from November 25, 1989 to Novem-
ber 22, 1990. Budha as lord of the 5rd (ribs) is in the 8th
(abdomen) with the Sun, lord of the 5th (chest). Ketu is with
Shani in the 4th from Lagna and in the third (ribs) from
Budha, the lord of the dasa.
If the third and the Bth houses from the lagna or the
Atmakaraka have the divisions of Taurus and Cancer domi-
nating and if either sign is occupied by Mars, the native
suffers from boils an-d tumours. This aphorism of Jaimini

and the 5th houses also play a part. Brain and the nerves
are signified by Mercury, while the Sun regulates the
spine. Jaimini, however, assigns the 7th house to the back.
Any affliction to the Sun, Saturn and Uranus, jointly or
severally, indicates some kind of spinal trouble. The Moon
also is involved. Anv inflammation comes under Mars or

The native had one younger brother and one sister older
to him. After graduation he discontinued his studies for two
years, and then took his M.A. degree in 1965. lle worked as
a Lecturer. Note Quru in the tenth house Vargottama. Prior to
196 I he underwent an operation for a tlydrocele. Why
did it take place ? When the lagna is in the third drekkana,
the testicles come under the third and the eleventh houses.
Jataka Parijata (11.56) states that the enlarged scrotum
results from the conjunction of Rahu with Mars or Saturn, or
when Mars is in Lagna. llere Mars is with Rahu in the ninth
aspecting third house. In amsa Mars is with Ketu
aspectingthe third and the eleventh houses.Marsbeing in the
eighth from navamsa lagna, he affects the genitals. In Rasi, the
conjunction of Mars and Rahuis in the third from arudha lagna.
Thus the chart justifies the event which took place in the
subperiod of Mercury in Venus.
The conjunction of the Sun with Saturn, unrelievedby any
benefic aspect is undesirable (J.P.8.2). Saturn aspects Ketu
in the third. The lord of the third and the eighth is in the
second; and from arudha lagna he is in the eighth with the
Moon. Inspite of Jupiter's aspect on the Moon and Venus,
there is no long life. Lagnain itself is weak. The major periods
of the Moon, or Venus should cause death. But from navamsa
Iagna and Karakamsa lagna it is the Moon who has to bring
about the end. It took place in the subperiod of Jupiter in the
m4jor period of the Moon. Jupiter is afflicted by Saturn, the
lord of the twelfth from lagna situated in the twelfth from the
Moon.
The native had an attack of cerebral thrombosis in Jan.
1972 and lay unconscious for nearly two months. Blood
and the circulatory system come under Sun. tlere the Sun is
conjunct Saturn in lagna which refers to the head, while the
Sun rules the heart, Kuja also governs blood and all forms
of inflammation. Kuja aspects Budha who governs the brain
and who is in the twelfth from lagna. In Amsa again Kuja
aspects the Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter, while he
himself is aspected by Saturn. The Moon presides over the

The lord of the 5th is in a terribly weak sign, while the Sth
is well fortified by Venus who, however, catches the evil eye
of Uranus. The lower mind is affected; and it was sup-
pressed remorse following a deep awareness of guilt that
has resulted in the aberration here. The sign controlling ill
health receives the powerful rays of the planets ruling the

receiving the affliction of the lord of the 6th from a nervous
point. This Mars in turn has spoilt the Sun and the 4th

The 55th chart belongs to a mentally defective person
who lacked moral sense greatly. He used to attempt marvel-
lous tricks, though he was failing in them. Still the mental
aberration gave him an uncanny power. The ascendant is
an animal sign badly afflicted by Neptune and Jupiter, all
these also receiving the aspect of Mars. ln this struggle of
the ascendant, the Sun is crushed, and the lord is relegated

former ayanamsa.
flere Uranus is within the orb of the Moon who governs
the mind and feelings. The unsteady Mercury is conjunct
Mars, aspected by Jupiter and Uranus. The lord of the lower
mind is in lagna and is debilitated in navamsa. Saturn in
lagna gives mood of depression and a feeling of personal
insecurity or inadequacy. This started in this case by the
middle of 1948 during Budha's major period, Moon-Uranus
conjunction made him claim independence from parents
and brothers. Mercury-Uranusopposition developed his.ec,
centric behaviour. Mars-Uranusopposition made the tem-
per explosive and wilfully impatient. As per the ayanamsaof
Raivata paksha the symptoms of Schizophrenia first ap-
peared in the sub-period of the Moon in Mercury, which
started from May 7, 194A. The Moon is close to Uranus who
aspects Mars, and through Mars the aspect of Uranus falls
on Mercury. The Moon is the lord of the eighth situated in
the fourth. The entire situation revolves round the hidden or
secret parts, and the chart is contributed by the five bodies
situated in the fourth and the tenth signs. The Sun is in-
volved in the opposition and conjunction through the
Moon.
The mania for independence at the age of 19 is due to
the Sun-Uranuspositions which drove him to the Verge of
anarchy. The judgement became perverse and he worked
out his own destruction. He became stubborn misguided
and fickle. Virgo being involved, the nervous system broke
down and because of the eighth house ownership of the
Moon, the sex-instinct dominated in the Subperiod of Mars.
The navamsa chart shows the seventh lord debilitated and
conjunct Ketu. This led to his impotency in Rahu's sub-
period and it aggravated insanity.
Moon-Uranus conjunction brought about high emo-
tional tension and a paralysis of the intellect. The fifth lord

6th or the 8th does not imply cancer. In fact Saturn in these
houses can be a great asset warding off many an ailment or
giving great powers of resistance and quick recuperation.
The 6th being the house of ailment has to be considered
along with the house of longevity. Since cancer can attack
any part of the body, one has to examine the planets and
houses governing these parts. We also emphasize the im-
portance of Rahu because of the poisonous nature of this
ailment.
In the foregoing analysis we have followed the equal
house system according to which the ascending degree is
the first point of Lagna, not the middle. Secondly, mutual
exchange of houses are treated as exchange and also as
the planets being in their respective houses; and in all
exchanges the planet concerned loses the ownership of the
other house. We have given the positions of Uranus and
Neptune also merely to enable a research analyst to find out
whether these planets have a bearing on the cases studied
here. To give a last illustration consider the chart of the
famous Bengali novelist Sarat who had Saturn retrograde.
Aquarius I l, Jupiter Scorpio 4, Ylars Leo 20, Rahu Aquarius
27, and the Moon Cancer 26. tle died at the age of 62. tle
was a patient of cancer. There is mutual opposition of Mars
and Saturn, the conjunction of Saturn with Rahu, and all
these afflicting Jupiter who is in Scorpio being the lord of
the 6th from the Moon. Venus is with the Moon, while the
Sun and Mercury are in Virgo. Uranusjust entered Leo while
Neptune is retrograde in Aries. The luminaries are not
afflicted, nor are Uranus and Venus. Taking Chandra Lagna
(the natal Moon) we notice Saturn in the 7th house, Mars in
the lst and Jupiter in the 4th as per the equal house system
advocated by us. The signs remain the same, making l.eo
and Aquarius heavily afflicted.
Still we cannot generalise and lay down any specific
rules. Each case has to be examined separately and on its
own merits.

the l2th.
Wounds cbme under the 6th house and Virgo; Mars
rules blood and wounds. The Moon controls blood' Bones
and joints come under the lOth house and Capricorn.
Kidney comes under the fixed signs, more particularly
Taurus. The signs Cancer and Capricorn reveal the
condition of the spine. Lungs are under the Srd house.
Spleen is regulated by the Moon and Rahu' Cancer appears
to have some relation with the signs Virgo and Pisces,
and it can be detected from the Moon, Mars, Saturn and
Rahu.

In malefic houses Shukra and Shani indicate Kshudra
Devatas. These may give results but are harmful. They in-
voke the so called evil spirits.
Vedic Kemedies for Planets
In any chart we notice that there are certain malefic
periods giving rise to undesirable results. These results
cannot be totally warded off. At best their adverse effects
can be minimised by following some measures. We find
some astrologers presenting the japa of mantns. Some of
the mantras mentioned for the planets are purely Tantrik or
esoteric. Their value appears to be doubtful particularly
when the person who does these japas does not conclude
with the recitation of the Qayatri mantra for a thousand
times. f f he does Cayatri at the end, the japa for the planets
can be effective. In such a case persons like the present
author attribute the efficacy nrostly to Oayatri mantra.
This brings us lo the relevant point. The Gayatri nantra
appears in many Vedic texts. It is in Rig Veda (lll.62.10),
Sam aveda, Vajasaneya Samh ita, Taittiriya Samh i ta (1 .5.6. 4 ;
4.1.1 l. l) and Taittiriya Aranyaka (l.l 1.2). The seer who
had a vision of this mantra was the celebrated Vishvamitra.
Why is the pride of place given to this sage? This Cayatri
mantra is used on a variety of occasions. In another hymn
of Rig Veda (5.55. f2) we read:
Vish vaam itrasya nksha ti
brah medam bhaaratam janam
Freely rendered this means; "This hymn (Brahma) of
Visvamitra protects the people of Bharata". It is his hymn
SOME REMEDIAL MEASURES 785
l. Nativities of Women
In the third chapter of lrora sastra. ?arasarastates that he
will outline the results to be predicted from each of the l6
vargas. llere we read:
Tqqr* o.-o-*priEeTqrtT6iTqal (r.rol)
From Navamsa chart one has to read the nature and
effects concerning the husband or wife. A disparity between
Rasi and Navamsa charts points to an inharmonious mar_
ried life. The Rasi and Navamsa charts of any individual
indicate three possible ways of relationship between hus_
band and wife. These aret (a, mutual influence or support;
(b) degrading or counteracting and (c)indifference. \
There are some specific factors to be followed while
examining a woman's chart. As Mantreshwara puts it:
longevity of the husband from the gth house, children
from the 9th, nature of husband from the 7th, chastity
and the like from the 4th. As in all cases, one should
predict f,rom the Moon sign or Lagna whichever is stronger.
According to some, says Jataka parfiata (16.5), the well
being or otherwise of the husband is to be determined
from the 9th house; others ascribe ascetic tendencies to
the 9th (16.6).
Brihajjataka states that malefics in the 7th make a
woman a widow. If there is a weak malefic aspected by a
benefic, she may be discarded.

and the I lth, with the malefic aspect of Mars. The 8th is
afflicted. ln Saturn's sub period of Venus her husband died
(1972). She was tortured considerably. She married again,
note the 7th house and a powerful lord of the 8th, while
the house of chastity has Mars. She has been a Naxalite-
again note Mars, and the exchange between Mercury and
Saturn. Here it may be noted that according to experience,
when two planets have a mutual exchange of houses, they
lose the ownership of the other house. ln this chart, Saturn
is the lord of only the 7th and Mercury of only the Srd. In
essence Mercury and Venus are in the 7th asepcted by Mars.
This offers a fuller explanation of the facts.
The seventh chart supplies a good illustration of
Mantreshwara's dictum regarding the exchange of houses
between the Sth and 7th lords. She was married in 1972
November at the age of 55; when the sub-period of Ketu in

Rahu began; and she became a widow just before this very
subperiod ended. Jupiter and Saturn have exchanged
houses and Saturn is with the lord of the l2th. The 9th
house is afflicted. Ketu is aspected by Mars and Saturn,
Mars being also the lord of the 8th. The exchange of the 5th
and the 7th means death of partner, or estrangement, or
childlessness. Usually the first alternative is stronger.
Saturn's aspect on Ketu clinches the issue. Moreover from
the Moon sign the 8th has Mars and Rahu.
The eighth and the ninth charts are those of women
whose hubands are impotent. The 8th shows a badhaka
who is the lord of the 7th is with Ketu, while the 7th is
aspected by Saturn. The lOth house needs watching par-
ticularly because Mars is with the 7th from the Moon with

the lord of Lagna is in the loth aspected by Mars in her
Rasi, the lord of Lagna in Amsa of her husband is Mars in

from her Mars with Rahu in the 5rd. They have a daughter.

aspect l-agna, the aspect of the former being malefic. Sat-
urn is not in a malefic sign, but in the 7th house he is
positively bad. Ketu in the 4th house aspected by Saturn is
ominous in a woman's chart. Likewise from the Moon sign
the 4th lord is not well placed. Moreover the badhaka being
the Moon, his aspect on Mercury and Venus has contributed
to the unfortunate situation. In one chart of Sagittarius
Lagna we find in l,agna the lords of the 7th, the lOth, the
6th, the I I th and the 9th. l,agna lord exchanges places with
the loth lord. The association of the lords of the 6th, the
7th, and the loth is to be noted. Saturn from the 2nd
aspects the Moon in the 8th. Both are in the 8th. Yet she
became a widow in 1976 at the age 43. The 8th house is
afflicted and Mars is in the 2nd from the Moon.
Look at the thlrteenth chart. She rvas married in July
1949 and became a widow in September 195O. Then she
married again. Mars as lord of the 4th is in the Bth, which is

the 8th. Lords of the lst, the 2nd,lhe 5rd, the l2th, the 5th.
and the loth are with Rahu and afflicted. Mercury and
Venus exchange places, thereby making the lord of the 6th
and the 9th associated with the 9th house directly. The 8th
lord is debilitated. Saturn's aspect on the Moon is equally
bad. I"agna is unaspected. Moreover, Mars as badhaka is in
the 8th. These, explain the facts clearly. The 8th house
denoting the second marriage is stronger than the 7th and
its lord is in the lOth with the lord of the 9th. This is a
favourable point, if it is.
The last chart (14) is of particular interest. She married
a person who divorced his earlier wife with three children or

On the basis of these figures we can interpret the past
and the future by correlating these to the general framework
of the birth chart, the transits of the planets, and to the
Vimshottari Dasa system. The birth chart is of supreme
impoftance.

as only three bindus in his position indicating separatidn
and in his own A.V. the 7th has four suggestingmixed but
happy results. Saturn has five showing gains and in the 7th
from Lagna he gives three only implying loss.
In this chart the strong houses in a descending order are
12(41), l1(56), 1o(5s). 6 and 4 (34), l".agna(551, 2 and
9(32). The other four houses are weak, the 5th being the
weakest having 25. The 7th has 29, and the 8th has 27.
Looking into the total figures, we find the 28th year (the Sun
in Virgo which has 28) is a pretty bad one, as the lord of 2
is in 5 between malefics. The years 32 (the Moon in Leo),

Saturn. Those of the Sun and Ketu are average. The rest are
bad. Only the Moon, Venus and Saturn have contributed
bindus to the 7th. Saturn (lord of the 7th), Venus (karaka) and
the lord of the Lagna should give her a happy married life in
general.But the sub-periodsof the Moon, Marsand Rahu have
only three bindus each, less than the average. Marriage,
misunderstandings and a separation were forced on her-all
took place between June 12, 1979 and March 12, lg1l.
l,et us apply the principle of Kakshyas to interpret the
Dasa of the Sun. The seguence of the Kakshyas is Saturn,
Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon and
Lagna. Dach has a duration of nine months. The periods 24_

.
(Mars) are adverse. For, the Sun the bth and the 6th lord
and the lord of the 5rd and the 8th are on either side of the
Sun. The 7th lord from the Sun is a functional malefic, and
the karaka is vanquished by Mars. Dxcept for periods of
hope (November 1979 to August l98O and May 1984 to
February 1985) the period of the Sun can give only adverse
results about marital life. The marriage was at the end of
Saturn's Kakshya, he being the lord of the 7th placed in the
4th; and the separation was in that of Mars who vanquished
Venus in the second and who has caused Kuja dosha from a
variety of places including from the Moon in Navamsa.
In the Moon's own Ashtaka varga the Moon has only
three bindus. This is not quite favourable. The major peri-
od of the Moon is from 24-2-1988. In the Moon's A.V. the
various successive antardasa lords as per their sign posi-
tions are 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 2, 5, S. The subperiod of Ketu is
the worst. Those of the Moon, Mars, Venus and the Sun are
not quite good. Those of Rahu, Saturn and Mercury are
tolerable. Jupiter's is the best. The Moon being the lord of
the Lagna, and Mars being a yogakaraka, these two sub-
periods will have to show an olive branch. But when
Rahu's sub-period begins (from July 24, 1986) we can safe-
ly visualiseher reunion. Transit Jupiter wiil then be in the
7th from the natal Moon; and in the Moon's A.V. There are
five bindus in Aquarius. The positions of the Moon, Rahu,
Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury are good from Karakamsa also.

Rahu's own Ashtaka varga houses 1,2 and 6 have only three
bindus each. llis transit in the l2th and lOth from the Moon
brings worries, quarrels, losses and enmity. These periods
were from June 8, 19BOto February ll,1982 in the l2th,, and
August 29, L9BS to February 18, 1985. In the 9th from the
Moon he offers mixed results only.
Saturn transiting the Moon's sign causes fear of friends
and separation and on the l2th brings grief. On the 4th
there is separation. lle was in Leo, where he has only two
bindus in his own A.V., from August 27, 1977 to October
2L, 1979 and again from April 5, l98O to July lO, 198O. In
Virgo he has only three bindus indicating loss, and in Scor-
pio (4th from the Moon) only one bindu which also means
the same. He was in Virgo from October2l, 1979 to April
5, l9BO and again from July lO, l98O to Se-lqmber 23,
t942.
lf e entered Scorpio on December8, 1984. She was unfor-
tunately married on July 9, 1979 and was consummated on
October 19, 1979. Saturn was transiting Leo and in his own
A.V. he has only two bindus. The marriage was in the Moon's
sub-period of the Sun. The two are in 2-L2 relation. She last
heard from her husband on October 27, 1980. Saturn was
transiting her Sun and there was the sub-period of Rahu
operating. Transit Jupiter on the Moon brings losses. tle was
there form August 23, 1979 to September 20, 198O. During
September 1979 she had rheumatic corea in Jupiter's
subperiod of Venus. She could get over it as Jupiter has four
bindus in Leo. Jupiter was transiting exactly on her natal Sun
who was in the nervous Virgo.
Transit Mars on the 7th brings quarrels with the husband.
He was in Aquarius (three bindus) from February 18, 1979 to
March 2A, 1979. He has two bindus only in Virgo, Libra and
Sagittarius. His transit here covers the periods form July 22,
1978 to October 22, 1978. December2, l97B to January 15,
L979, June 26, l98O to October 2, 198O and November I l,
l98O to December 20, l9BO. Two bindus suggest quarrels
with the partner.
More than Mars, the greatest trouble is to be expected
from Saturn and Rahu during the transit of the signs in
FDMALE TTOBOSCOfr 825
which there are very few bindus. This is again subject to the
natal chart. But Saturn as the 7th lord exalted has to confer
benefic results; and these will come slowly and late, after
trying the patience of the native.
Saturn was on her Moon on June 7, lgTB and Mars on
June 5, 197a. Mars was on her Venus on July 6, lg7g, Saturn
on February 9, 1979, and Mars again December 25, 1979. tle
transited her Saturn on August 26, 1980. Saturn was on her
Venus on November lO, 1978, February9, l9Z9 and July J0,
1979; on her Mars on November 12, 1978, February6, lgTg
and August L, 1979. Rahuwas on her Marsand Venus on June
lO, 12, 1979. These translts are capabte of suggesting a
number of facts about her 2nd and 4th houses. These can be
found out on close scrutiny and questioning. The one fact ttrat
strengthens our hope is the position of the 7th lord and
Jupiter's aspect on him.
The 2nd lord has three bindus in the 2nd and the 7th; and
so have Venus and Saturn in the 7th. This is a disquieting
position. But in the 4th house except Mars and Jupiter all
others have 4 to 6 bindus; and in the l2th (comforts of the
bed) all have 4 to 6 bindus; and one can safely predict a
reunion on the basis of A.V. ln relation to the natal chart. After
the second reduction only Mars, Mercury and Venus have no
bindus in the 7th.
4. Speclal features
1. If the Moon ls stronger than the Sun, the predictions
are to be based on the Moon-sign. The problem of odd
and even signs rising, the Ploon in an odd or even sign,
and masculine or feminine planels posited therein or
a.specting it is not of much signiflcance.
2, Lagna, Moon-sign, seventh and eighth houses must be
strong and favourable. Malefics should not be in the
seventh and eighth houses.
5. When a malefic'in the seventh is delibitated or is in an
enemy's house, she will be quarrelling with her hus-
band. Mars in the seventh or the eighth is undesirable;
Shani in the seventh also is not desirable.
4. lf lagna is owned by Kuja or Shani, and a malefic is in
the fifth, she will have no children. Mars in the
826 TEXT EOOK OF SCIENNFTC TIINDU ASTROI.OOY
riage for a woman are Aries and Mars and also Jupiter. In a
woman's chart, the Moon too must be taken into consider-
ation since the menstrual period is regulated by Moon and
Mars; and in a man's nativity Sun too must be examined
carefully.
In a man's chart, we have to consider Libra and the 7th
from the ascendant, Sun and Venus; and in a woman's we
must note Aries and the seventh from the ascendant, Moon
and Mars. The eighth houses from these govern the sex life;
and therefore Scorpio for men and Taurus for women have
to be added to the list. Then the extra-marital life is deter-
mined by the twelfth house from the ascendant; and in a
man's chart, Pisces too needs scrutiny while in a woman's
Virgo too deserves a study. This might terrify one since'all
the houses and planets appear to get into the picture. But
what is needed is to find out the strongest among the
ascendnat, Sun and Venus in a man's chart, and among the
ascendant Moon and Mars in a woman's. The m4jor scrutiny
should be from this point only. The others are needed as
corroborating or strengthening aids only.
An affliction to a planet or house arises from a conjunc-
tion with or an aspect by a planet who is a malefic by nature
or by ownership or by both. If a conjunction with or an
aspect by a benefic also operates, then we get the mixed
character of the house or planet.
A strong, well-placed and unafflicted Venus gives a har-
monious and balanced marital life of man. A similar Mars
governs the balanced sex life of woman. These are the two
basic planets. Venus is to be examined with (he Sun, and
Mars with the Moon. The position of Venus in a male chart
is to be compared with that of Mars in the wife's chart; and
a similar comparison between the Sun in the husband's
chart and the Moon in the wife's is necessary. Whether they
aspect one another, they are in square or trine to one
another, or they are inimical to one another must be care-
fully noted. The next step is to see whether the Navamsa
chart of the wife agrees with the Rasi chaft of the husband
and wheher the Rasi chart of the wife agrees with the
Navamsa chart of the husband. These preliminary observa-
tions will be taken up for a scrutiny and illustration at a later

2. Matching
There are many unfounded beliefs and ideas about
matching charts for marriage purposes. First, there are
twenty Kutas based on the Nakshatras of the Moon of which
eleven are taken to be important. They give a total score of
55, and we are told that eighteen is the required minimun. ri
Each Varga or Kuta has a specific function as follows:
( I ) Dina: l-ongevity, health, fortune. This is important for
Brahmanas. (2) Oana.. Health, auspiciousness. This is im-
portant for Kshatriyas. (5) Yoni: Qhildren, mutual compat-
ibility. This is important for Sudras. (4) Ralju: Long life with
husband. (5) Vedha: Mutual opposition (6) Nadi: physical
well-being, happiness. (7) Mahendra; Children and grand-
children. (8) Stree deetgha: Health. (9) Rasi: Progeny. This is
,lmportant for Vaisyas. (lO) Rasyadhipati: Children and (l l)
Vasya: Mutual agreement.
The others are Canitagata Ayurdaya, Aya, Jati, pakshi,
Yogini, Linga, Bhuta, Chandra and Qotra. These refer to
longevity, incompatibility, good or bad, quarrels, misunder-
standings, enmity, auspiciousness and inimical nature.
Generally, the first eleven alone are taken into account.
In North India, the man and his bride having the same
Nadi is said to be inauspicious. Possibly Nadi refers to
blood groups. In Tamil Nadu and other places persons ',j
having the same Rajju are not allowed to be husband and riil
wife-Eka rajjurmrityukari. The same Rqjju'for both brings
about death. In our illustrations we will show the couple
having the same Nadi or same Rajju or both. ,i
The first charts show the same Nadi and the same Rajju.
The Kutas give a score of fourteen, the alliance on these
points is unfortunate. The Navamsa of the male has Rahu in
the 8th while Saturn (lord of I and 12) and Moon (6).

not recommend these. The Navamsa Lagna of the girl has the

afflicted by Mars. The girl's 7th lord is aspected by Saturn.
The Moon and Rahu afflict her 4th. Some of the rules apply
here. There is only marital discord between the two.
The third charts have only the same Nadi. The Kutas
give a score of 27. The boy's 7th and 8th lords are in
conjunction with Ketu. The girl's 7th lord is with Rahu
aspected by Mars. The Kuta score is of no use here. She
married, conceived within six months and left her hus-

aspected by Saturn (lord of 5) and Jupiter (malefic lord of 7)
and has Mars and Venus in the 7th.

score is 24. But husband's lords of 6 and 7 are in opposi-
tion to Mars. From Chandra Lagna, the lords of 7 and 8 are

Dosha, not a cancellation.tlis 5th lord is with the lord of the

married life, though they are childless. The Kuta score is 27.
These examples show clearly that the Kuta score is mis-
leading,that Kuja Doshahas no exceptions,and that Navamsa
charts have to be carefully evaluated before recommending
any alliance.
5. Special points
The significator of the partner is generally found in the
sixth or the eighth house. Sun, Moon or Venus of one chart
may be found on the arc of the other. The Sun of one may
be placed on the Moon of the other, though this. is not
essential.
Quru in the seventh or aspectingthe ruler of the seventh
may indicate the death of the partner and a second mar-
riage. The Sun applying to Uranus in a woman's chart some-
times shows the sudden illness or accident to the husband.
Lord of 7 in 5, and of 5 in 7, or the conjunction of these
two lords can indicate love marriage or no worldly motives
in marriage. Strong malefic aspects, specially from Shani to
the fifth and seventh houses indicate celibacy.
Trouble in marriage or sex relation is shown by afflicted
Mina 15o, Karka 260, Kanya 2o and l5', Simha 4o, Ylakara
26o and Kumbha 40.
The eleventh house has also to be consldered as it indi-
cates the mental interests, wishes, hopes, aspirations and
friendships.

in the 2nd and the arudha lagna will be Cancer. Then Budha
and Shukra are in the l2th from arudha lagna the latter is an
even sign.
Krishna Misra also stated that according to some the
arudha is not only from that sign but also from the sign
occupied by the lord of that sign. Of these we have to
determine the stronger one as per Jaimini's rules and then
count. Scorpio is owned by Kuja and Ketir, while Kumbha is
owned by Shani and Rahu. If Ketu is stronger than Kuja, and
Rahu stronger than Shani, the arudhas are to be counted
from Ketu and Rahu respectively. Still the author is clear
that this rule applies only to the period of the years given by
signs occupied by them.
When the lord of the sign is in it, he says that the fourth
from it is its arudha, and if he is in the 7th from it then its
'sva'in the first quarter of the first
lOth is its arudha. The word
chapter of Jaimini is taken by Somanatha to mean lagna, and
in the second quarter of the first chapter he took it to mean
'anyatra'was taken to mean the
the fourth sign. The word
lOth by him.
Raghava Bhatta (1704 AD) interpreted the two special
sutras of Jaimini to refer only to the years given by those
signs when a planet is in its own sign, that sign gives twelve
years. If it is in the 7th from it that sign gives ten years.
In his Jaimini Sutrartha Pradarsika, Narasimha Suri
stated if a sign has its own owner, that very sign is the
arudha of that house and it gives twelve years. If that planet
is in the 7th from it, that sign gives ten years' In an example
of Mesha Lagna given by him, Kuja is in the Makara and the
arudha lagna is given as Tula.
Thus we have two different views. The arudhas are
counted in the normal way. If a planet is in its own sign or
in the 7th from it, that very sign is its arudha. The second
view makes the fourth from that sign its arudha. In such a
situation we have to go by the m4jority opinion among the
classical authorities. If a planet is in its own sign, that sign
is its arudha, if it is in the 4th, the arudha of that is the
fourth; if in the 7th, the arudha is the loth, and if it is in the
lOth, the arudha of that sign is the 7th.
tlere is enough material for further research.
MARRIAGE: MATCilNO AND T{UJA DOSITA 851
6. Kqia Dosha
There has been much discusslon about Kuja Dosha' In
houses 2, 4, 7 ,8, and l2 from L,agna,the Moon or Venus it
ls dreaded. Many exceptions are given In the authoritative
texts. Following the maxim "Kujavat Ketuh" we are inclined
to apply the same dosha to Ketu also.
First, we note some of the exceptions mentioned by
some authorities: (i) No Dosha if Kuja or Mars is in the 2nd
identical with the houses of Mercury. (ii) No Dosha if Mars is
in the l2th identical with the houses of Venus' (iii) No
Dosha in the 4th if it is the own house of Mars. (iv) No Dosha
in the 7th if it is Cancer or Capricorn. (v) No Dosha in the
8th if it is owned by Jupiter. (vi) No Dosha if Mars is in L'eo
or Aquarius. (vii) No Dosha if Mars is conjunct Jupiter or
Moon. (viii) No Dosha for the l-agnas owned by the Sun' the
Moon, Mars and Jupiter and also for Capricorn' lix) No
Dosha if Mars is in a Kendra or Kona, or if Mars is with
Moon, Jupiter or Mercury by aspect or conjunction' (x) From
Taurus L.agna Mars in the l2th causes no Dosha' (xi) For
Gemini l-agna Mars in 2, B or l2 causes no bad effects' (xii)
For Virgo Lagna there is no Dosha if Mars is in 2 o;6' lxiii)
For Scorpio Lagna there is no Dosha if Mars is in 2, 8 ro I l '
(xiv) For Aquarius L,agnathere is no Dosha if Mars is in 2' 8
or 12.
This tist is formidable. lt virtually means that there is no
Kuj-- Dosha in any chart. Mrs. Indira Candhi had Mars in
Ueo, ttre 2nd from Lagna and 8th from the Moon' There are
many charts in our file and they show that these exceptions
have not worked. ln 7 or 8, Mars denotes death or sePara-
tion of the couple under certain conditions' In the 2nd he
creates discord in the family, and in the l2th he denies bed
comforts for various reasons. In the 4th he denies happi-
ness. The association of Mars with Venus is condemned by
Jaimini when he states:
Tls-Stiffi{s cr{rFfi: I
It is always necessary that a Person having Kuja Dosha
should be married to one having a similar Dosha' This
neutralises the Dosha. It does not cancel the Dosha'
t

The Dosha is to be reckoned from l-agna, the Moon and
Venus.
The 2nd speaks about happiness and character.TheTth
ls the house of the partner. The gth in a woman,s chart
refers to her mangalya, the well-being of the husband. Of
these the 7th and the 8th houses are the most powerful
ones. Vachaspatya refers to the Bth house. Mars, associa-
tion with the 5th can cause miscarriages or loss of childrcn.
Vivaha Vanamala states that Mars in the houses of Mer_
cury or Saturn causes maximum Dosha,. in the house of
Saturn he is threequarters malefic; in Jupiter,s houses, he
is a half malefic; and in his own houses he is one-fourths
mafefic. This has the support of Narada Samhita.
Deva l{erala has given many exceptions. From a prag_
matic standpoint these exceptions are meant only to facili-
tate marriages. Some have argued that Kuja Dosha has to
be examined also from Arudha L,agna, Darapada and
Upapada. This is a valid fall out from Jaimini,s system of
Astrology. If there are malefics in Upapada, or if the
Upapada is aspected by malefics, there is death of the
partner or renunciation ( L4, 2). If the 2nd from Upapada is
associated with Saturn and Rahu, the same result is said to
follow (1.4.12). These and other combinations have to be
considered also from the 7th from Upapada and from
Itaralramsha Lagna, according to Jaimini.

ln Chart 5, Mars is in the 7th (Virgo) from the Moon and

Kalyana Varma states, we have also to examine the chart

a good deal about her future marital life.

Children
l. Qeneral
Parashara expounds some interesting principles regard-
ing children. Childlessness, laws of children, and adoption
are some of the things he refers to.
l,ords of 2,5, and I I play an important role. In the case
of women, the ninth house has to be considered. We have
also to consider the lord of lagna and Guru. The weakness
of these houses and their lords can bring about the loss or
denial of children. When the lord or the navamsha occupied
by the lord of the twelth is in the eighth along with the
afflicted fifth lord. the same result follows. If the lord of the
first and fifth houses are afflicted or debilitated, while a
barren planet (Shani, Budha, Ketu) occupies the fifth, we
have to predict the same.
Hourses5 and I I are important. The twelfth house, its
ruler arrd the planets therein also indicate them, especially
the elclest.
Benefics, Moon, and Neptune will give many children,
when they are properly placed. Uranus indicates artificial
prevention of conception, as in the cases of persons under-
going vasectomy, tubectomy, laproscopy and family welfare
schemes employing tablets and capsules.
Moon and Neptune indicate daughters. The number of
children depends on the Moon in the case of men, and on

the lord of the eighth is in the fifth and the tord of the nintn
ls in the eighth; (ll) lords of the nlnth and the sixth in the
fifth while Guru is with Rahu - In all these cases the loss of
children should be explained as being due to the curse of
the father. This curse is expiated by what is known as
Gayasraddha.

houses,' (7) lord of the third in the twelfth, Guru with Rahu
and Mandi in the fifth; (8) lord of the twelfth in the fifth
with the lord of the third, while Mars and Saturn are in the
eighth. In all these cases the loss of children is due to the
curse of the brother and it can be expiated by the holy
waters of the rivers and by the installation of the Asvattha
Vriksha.
(1) The fifth, which is a house of Budha, should have

lagna; (2) lords of the first and the fifth in the fifth along with
Budha and Kuja, while Shani should be in the firsh (5) lord
of the fifth in the fifth, Shani in the seventh, and the lord of
the lagna with Budha; (4) lord of the sixth in the fifth along
with the lord of the twelfth while the Moon, Mars and Mer-
cury should be in the fifth - in all such cases the loss of
children is due to the curse of the maternal uncle; and it is
expiated by Setusnana and Vishnupratishtha.
(l) Rahu in the house of Guru, the lord of the ninth in
12, while in the fifth there should be Curu, Kuja and Shani;
(2) lord of the ninth in the fifth, and the lord of the fifth in

first or the fifth, and the lord of the fifth in the eighth; (6)
lord of the fifth in the house of Curu, malefics in the eighth,
while the lord of the fifth is the Sun or the Moon; (7) Shani
In his own navamsha, Curu in conjunction with Kuja, while
the lord of the fifth in the twelfth; (8) Shani with Curu in the
lagna, Rahu in the ninth - in all these cases the losses of the
children are to be traced to the curse of the preceptor. This
curse can be expiated by Chandrayana, Dhenudana and
Annadana.
' There is yet another group of cases where the loss of
thildren is traced to the curse of the wife. Now let us focus
our attention on a iew instances where some of these Yogas
are found and where the required expiation has borne fruit.
There is a gentleman born when Aries was rising with Curu,
Chandra and Rahu. Ravi and Budha are in the fifth, Shukra
CT{TLDBEN 863
Mars and Saturn in the fifth and first, and Curu afflicted;
(12) Rahu, Saturn and Mars should be respectively in
the first, fifth and ninth houses, while the lords of the
fifth and seventh should be in the eighth - in all these cases
the loss of children is to be traced to the curse given by
the wife.
This type of curse is a little intriguing. How can a wife,
treated as 'patni' curse her husband ? This is possible only
when there are serious lapses on the part of the
husband. This curse, as the general tenor of the argument
implies, goes back to the previous birth; and it can be
expiated only by adopting a girl and giving her away in
marriage to someone. There are cases of persons who
remained childless till they actually performed the marriage
of their adopted daughters. These cases amply convince us
that there must be a causal relationship between such
marriages and their later begetting own children.' A few
illustrations will make this point pretty clear.
Chart I is that of a gentleman who is of a very good
nature. Ile is amiable and good natured. Shani is on the
Ascendant and Rahu is found to be in the Lagna bhava.
Mars is situated in the ninth being aspected by Budha and
Guru. These circumstances led to the inevitable fact of
his begetting children after he has adopted a girl and got
her married.

the second wife for such a Mars (15.5).
Uttara Kalamrita is kindly to Mars and Jupiter. lf Mars and
Jupiter are in their own or in their exaltatin signs or in the
corresponding signs, are in trines or angles, and are associ-
ated with benefics, there will be sons endowed with long life
(6.32-33\.
The combinations for the denlal of children referring to Mars
and Jupiter as given by Parasharaare the following; (a) lords of
the lst, 7th and the 5th along with Jupiter should be weak
(16.125); (b) Jupiter in a malefic Shasthyamsa and in a malefic

l2th house, its ruler and the planets there give enough
indication about the children, at least about the eldesr
child. The l2th house indicates the pleasures of the bed.
These pleasures, if they are not purely physical, must result
in the birth of children. From the 5th house, the traditional
house of children, the l2th is the 8th, indicating the longev-
ity of at least the eldest child. From the 9th it is the 4th, the
house of happiness.
In many charts we get indications of the native becoming
a parent. But there are cases where, in spite of this, children
are denied. The clue lies in the l2th house. Along with
Jupiter, following Jaimini, we take Mercury and Ketu as indi-
cators of children. As Ketu is the joint ruler of Scorpio, we .,

children. lt may at least destroy them and yet give surviving
children as Jupiter is in the 9th from the Moon. The l2th
house is aspected by both Jupiter and Saturn.Even as per the
view advocatedhere, there should be children. But look at the
l2th lord Venus. tle is In close conjunction with Uranus who
prevents conception.
Let us now turn to the charts where we find only one child.

look at the l2th house. Its lord Jupiter is with the Sun in the

child? The l2th house has debilitated Mercury, exalted
Venus and Uranus. One feminine planet in exaltation with
Mercury (a non-masculine planet) has given two daughters
only. This is the result of exaltation. The significator of the
Sun and Jupiter is Saturn afflicted by Mars. A third child is
denied also by Uranus in the l2th.

I i. Number of Children
The number of children is to be ascertained from the
fifth. After the first child consider the possible next children
in the sequence of houses 7,9, I l, I and 5. In a woman's
chart the sequence is 9, I l, l, 3, 5 and 7.
Multiply the elapsed navamshas of the fifth (in minutes)
by the benefic aspect in Rupas. Divide this by 2OO. The
quotient gives the number of children.
We have to consider planets in the fifth or those that are
with the fifth lord. Note how many are in friendly or inimical
or debilitation navamshas. Likewise examine the fifth house
or its lord from the sign occupied by Guru or the sign rePre-
senting the navamsha having the Sun.
Convert the elapsed degrees and minutes of the fifth
house into minutes. Multiply this by the Virupas showing the
benef,icaspect. Divide the product by 2OO.The quotient gives
the number of children. The figures got by the virupas of the
malefic aspect indicate the number of losses.

l. vidhi
- Vidhi means the writing of the fruition of results based
on the natal chart or on a Prashna chart.
When the L.agnais an even sign, the odd sign which is
opposite to it (Abhimukha) is to be taken as Lagna. If the
Lagna is an odd sign, the even sign facing it is to be taken
as Lagna. This is to be considered after ascertaining
whether the chart belongs to a man or to a woman. If this
abhimukha sign is powerful, it is to be taken as l-agna;
otherwise we consider the 7th from it. Having thus ascer-
tained the relative strength or weakness of the abhimukha
sign and its 7th, take the stronger sign as the Lagna. Then
determine the Dasas (periods) beginning with this t agna.
In the case of women bom in an odd l_agna, take the
sammukha (opposite) Lagna. Then determine the strength
or weakness of this sign and its 7th. The Dasas are to be
reckoned from the weaker sign; and so are the Bhavas to be
considered.
In the case of women, take the house of the husband
(this is the 8th as mentioned earlier). If this house is asso-
ciated with a Yogakaraka, predict the Yoga. Similarly yoga
has to be predicted for children and the like when these
houses are associated with a Yogakaraka.
Among the planets one who has the most advanced
degrees in a sign and aspects the concerned Bhava, he is
the Yogakaraka. When the Moon is in Cancer, who is the
Yogakaraka ? ln such a case, the lord of the sign occupied
by the Sun is the Yogakaraka. If this planet has the associa-
tion of the Svakaraka and even if he does not aspect the
Lagna, we have to predict the Yoga.
When the Lagna is ftncer and the Moon is in it, some
take the Moon to be the Yogakaraka. But find who is stron-
ger of the lords of the 5th and 9th. The owner of the sign
occupied by the stronger one of these lords is the
Yogakaraka. This is about female horoscopy.
For the horoscopes of men the method is different. One
may be born in Cancer L,agnawith the Moon in it. Still Leo
and Aquarius are the stronger signs for C,ancer Lagna. Here

are left, then assign the other Karakatwas as per the system
of Parashara.
Jaimini assigns some significations of a mlnor nature to
the various planets. Mars refers to sisters, younger brothers,
step-mother and brothers-in-law, Mercury is assigned maternal
uncles and maternal aunts; Jupiter signifies matemal grand-
father and grand-mother, and Venus rules over the parents of
the partner and over the maternal grand parents and disciples.
, Next we have to note that signs aspect signs and therefore
the planets in those signs aspect those in the corres-ponding
signs. Cardinal signs aspect all the fixed signs except the one
next to them. Fixed signs aspect all cardinal signs excepting
the one behind them. The dual signs aspect each other. That
ls, they have square aspects. This is an important principle as
the results given depend on the aspects and conjunctions.
Now we take up a unique method of ARGALA.planets in
.2.4.11houses, from any planet or house cause Argala.These
three are the prime combinations for argala consideration.
Secondly, 5th house is also able to form argala. This is to
note, argala should be checked for each house, as well as for
each planet. Argala caused by natural benefics is always
considered 'benefic argala'and when it is formed by malefics,
is called 'Malefic argala.'Argala always protects all effects and
principles of the house concerned.
tabulated thus :
Short : 52,40,36
Medium : 64, 80,72
Long : 96, l2O, lO8
The first view (52, 64, 96) was advocated by Nilakantha,
and the last (56, 72, LOB) by Parashara.But following the
'jivem Saradah satam', we get one hundred
Vedic dictum,
years.
Still let us stick to Parasharaonly (36,72' IOB). First
determine the longevity: (a) In our example Mina lagna
(25o 45' 55") and Hora logna Simha (7o 9' 35") give long life.
(b) The third and the eleventh from Lagna(52". 55. l2"and
2920.35'. 12") give long life.
(c) From the Atmakaraka these (324o'lO'.25" and
2O4'.lO' . 25 ) give long life.
Medium life ends at 64 years as Per Parashara. To this
we add the years. First deduct the longitudes from thirty
degrees. What remains gives the years to be added' Since
long life has a duration of forty years, takes forty years f,or
thirty degrees. Calculate proportionately for what is left in
the signs. \Uhat is left is as follows.
(a) Lagna has 4". l4'.25' and Hora lagna has yet to cover
22o.5O'.25". These give 5.6557 years and 5O.4537 years.
Add these and take half of the total. Next add the product
the starting of the long life. Thus 68 years plus lB.O557
gives a longevity of 86.O557 years.
(b) The remainders of,the third and eleventh houses are
70.24'.48" giving 9.8844 years. Then the longevity will be
77.8844 years.
(c) From the AK the third and the eleventh houses leave
a remainder of 5".49.57'which gives 7.77 years. Then the
total longevity will be 75.77 years.
The three figures give critical periods in life. If (c) and
(b) are overcome, then (a) is final' Burtdepending on Saturn
2J.a which is more authoritative than the Sutras in the
third chapter, we fix the true longevity at 86.0537 years.
The other two periods show periods of ill health only.
944 TEXT BOOK Of SCIENTInIC I{INDU ASTROLOOY
6. Chara dasa
Parashara has given a large number of Dasa-systems,
though he appears to favour the Vimshottari system. In
Jaimini too we have many systems of dasa; and he fre-
quently refers to chara, sthira and navamsha dasas. The
first two are very important. In Parashara the dasas are
given to the planets, while in Jaimini the signs or rasis have
dasas. The duration of the dasas is not fixed. They vary.
Chara dasa and trikona dasa will help us to fix all
important events. Within two to three weeks an event can
be timed if navamsha dasa also is taken up along with
either of the two. Chara and Niryana Shula Dasa can deter-
mine the longevity in many instances.
In Chara dasa the signs are classified into Vishamapada
and Samapada. Aries, Taurus, Qemini, Libra, Scorpio and
Sagittarius belong to the Vishamapada group. The others
hre in the Samapada group. In the former the dasas run
clockwise and in the latter they are anticlockwise.
Which will be the first dasa ? Note whether the ninth
house from lagna belongs to Vishamapada or Samapada. lf
It is a Vishamapada sign, the first dasa will be that of the
lagna followed by the other signs in a clockwise manner. lf
it is a sampada sign, the first dasa is that of the lagna
followed by the dasas of the houses L2, ll, lO, 9 and so
on.
What is the duration of each dasa ? The dasa period of
a sign is dependant on the distance between that sign and
that of the sign where its lord is located. For a rough
calculation, if the distance is nine signs, we have to deduct
one; and its dasa will be for eight years. Thus for Mina
(Pisces)suppose its lord is in Cancer. Mina being an even
sign, we count backwards and Cancer is the ninth from it.
The duration of Mina dasa will be eight years.
. These are modifications to this general rule.
l. (a) If a sign is occupied by its own lord, the dasa period
of that sign will be twelve years.
(b) If the lord of the sign is exalted, its dasa gets one
JAIMINI SYSTEM 945
more year.
(c) If the lord of the sign is debilitated, its dasa loses
one year.
2. In Jaimini Vrishchika is owned by Kuja and Ketu,
while Kumbha is owned by Shani and Rahu. Parasharaalso
agrees with this view. Because of the dual lordship the
duration of the dasas of these two signs is subject to modi-
fications.
(a) Il Shani and Rahu are conjunct in Kumbha, or if
Kuja and Ketu are conjunct in Vrishchika, the dasa
of these signs is of twelve Years.
(b) Suppose Kuja and Ketu are conjunct in a sign othgr
than Vrishchika, then convert the sign where these
are from Vrishchika in a clockwise manner.
(c) Similarly, if Shani and Rahu are conjunct in a
sign other than Kumbha, then count from Kumbha
to the sign where they are in an anti-clockwise
manner.
(d) Suppose Kuja or Ketu is in his own and the other in
another. Similarly suppose Shani or Rahu is in his
own sign and the other is in another sign. Then we
ignore Kuja if he is in Vrishchika, and Shani if he is
in Kumbha. The dasa periods of these signs are
determined by Ketu from Vrishchika, and by Rahu
from Kumbha.
(e) Suppose Kuja and Ketu, or Shani and Rahu are in
different signs. Then we have to take the one who is
with more planets than another. For example Kuja
and Rahu are in Libra, while Ketu is alone in Aries
and Saturn is alone in Simha. Then the dasa of
Vrishchika will be counted clockwise of Libra. lt will
be twelve minus one year. From Kumbha Rahu is in
the fifth (counted anti-clockwise) and he is with a
planet. Then Kumbha dasa will be for four years.
(0 If the two (Kuja and Ketu, Shani and Rahu) have a
number of planets with them, take the one who has
' more planets with him. If they have an equal number

7. Sthira Dasa
The next Dasa frequently referred to by Jaimini is Sthira
Dasa. lt is called Sthira or fixed because the number of years
is fixed. Chara or a movable sign has a duration of seven
years, the fixed signs have eight years each, and the common
signs have each nine Years.
This dasa is important in fixing also the time of death.
There are different views about the starting point of Sthira
Dasa. Some zrgue that this Dasa starts from lagna or the
seventh, whichever is stronger. This has no support from
Parasara tlora. Aiter giving the duration of years for the
signs, Jaimini states :
E-orRtsl r
The Sthira Dasa starts from the sign where Brahma is
located. Earlier we have explained the sensitive points called
Brahma, Rudra, and Maheshwara.When Brahma is in an odd
sign, the dasas follow the clockwise pattern. Otherwise the
sequence is anticlockwise. This is according to the Sutras
1.1.25,262

8. Tfikona Dasa
The next is the Trikona Dasa. Find the strongest out of
the lagna, the fifth and the ninth. The first dasa commences
from that sign. Here we have to take into consideration the
Vishamapada and Samapada signs. If the strongest is a
Vishamapada sign the order of the dasas is clockwise; oth-
erwise it is anti clockwise.
If the first dasa is that of a Vishamapada sign the se-
quence of the dasas is as follows : First Dasa : Starting Sun;
2nd - fifth from the first; 5rd - ninth from it; 4th - second
from it; 5th - 6th; 6th - lOth; 7th - 5rd; 8th - 7th; 9th - I lth;
lOth - 4th; I lth - Bth; l2t}:. - l2th from the starting one..
lf the starting dasa belongs to the Samapada group
(Karka, Simha, Kanya, Ylakara, Kumbha, Mina) the se-
quence is reversed.Thus the order will be l,9, 5, 12,8, 4,
LL,7,3, a,6,2.
In our example chart the lagna has two units.of its
strength, the fifth has 2.25 units, and the ninth has 2.25
units. The ninth is Vrishchika which is the strongest. It
belongs to Vishamapada group. But its ninth is Samapada.
The sequence of Dasas is Vrishchika, Karka, Tula,
Mithuna, Kumbha, Kanya, Vrishabha, Makara, Mesha and
Dhanush. The calculation of the dasa for each sign is simi-
lar to the method given for Chara Dasa periods.
Thus we get for this sequence of Dasas 7A.227432
years as we have noticed earlier.
