Combinations Producing Mutual ​Karakas
As many as those situated in the angles (1st, 4th, 7th,
and 10th houses) in one’s own zodiac sign, exaltation,
or ​mulatrikona​; indeed, all those are mutual ​karakas​,
especially of those situated in the 10th house.
Example of Mutual ​Karakas​ and Clarification of
the Mutual ​Karaka ​Rule
As when the Moon is situated in the ​lagna​ of Cancer
and Mars, Saturn, the Sun, and Jupiter are situated in
one’s own exaltation; those spoken ​karakas​ are
mutual.
All (planets) situated in the 10th and 4th house are
karakas ​of (a planet) situated in the ​lagna​.
Combination Producing a ​Karaka​ with a Planet
10th from Another Planet
If situated in one’s own, ​(mula)trikona​, or exaltation
and situated in the 10th house (from any planet)
situated in one’s own, ​(mula)trikona​, or exaltation and
(the planet in the 10th house from the planet) is a
friend or endowed with the quality of that (of
friendliness) is also prescribed as a ​karaka.​
Combinations for Happiness in the Prime of Life
and General Timing of Results
Jupiter or the lord zodiac sign occupied by the Moon
or the ​lagna ​situated in angles, those bestow
happiness when in the middle of the prime of life.
Similarly, those in Pisces give results in the middle
portion of life. The head rising zodiac signs give
results in the initial (part of life), but the back rising
zodiac signs give the result in the end (part of life).
Timing of Results by Planetary Ingress into the
Three Portions of the Zodiac Sign
The Sun and Mars give their results at the time of
ingress (first third) of a zodiac sign.

Jupiter and Venus give their results entering the

middle (middle third) of a zodiac sign.

Saturn and the Moon give their results situated in the

departure (last third) of a zodiac sign.

But Mercury gives results always.

[When the 7th house] is in the zodiac sign or in the
portion (​navamsha​) of Venus, a female’s husband
should be loved and joined to great fortune. [When
the 7th house] is in the zodiac sign or in the portion
(​navamsha​) of Mercury, a female’s husband should be
wise and knowing skills.
12. When related to the Moon (in the zodiac signs or
in the portion (​navamsha​) of the Moon) situated in the
7th house, [a female’s husband] is tender and under
the influence of lust. When related to Jupiter (in the
zodiac signs or in the portion (​navamsha​) of Jupiter)
situated in the 7th house, [a female’s husband] is
possessed of good qualities and has a subdued sense.
When related to the Sun (in the zodiac signs or in the
portion (​navamsha​) of the Sun) situated in the 7th
house, [a female’s husband] is very tender and doing a
lot of work.
13. When the ​lagna​ is with the Moon and Venus, a
female is possessed of envy and fond of comfort.
When the ​lagna​ is with Mercury and the Moon, a
female is skilled in the arts, delighted, and rich in
virtues. When the ​lagna​ is with Venus and Mercury, a
female is knowledgeable in the arts, beloved, and
beautiful. When the three (the Moon, Mercury, and
Venus) or the auspicious (Mercury, Venus, and
Jupiter) are in the ​lagna​, a female has much wealth,
comfort, and good qualities.
14. When there is a malefic in the 7th house there is
widowhood is indicated of which the portion
(​navamsha​) of the lord of the 8th house is situated, in
the period of that. When similar (to that condition just
mentioned) when benefics are situated in the 2nd
house indeed is one’s own husband’s death. When the
Moon is in Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus, and Leo there is
insignificant son bearing because of her.
15. When Saturn is with mediocre strength, with the
Moon, Venus, and Mercury destitute of strength, and
with the remaining (the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter)
endowed with strength, and if the rising zodiac sign
(​lagna​) is odd, a female has sexual intercourse with
the body (used in a negative sense). When Jupiter,
Mars, Venus, and Mercury are strong, the zodiac sign
of the eastern ​lagna​ is even; a female is famous on the
earth, skillful in many manuals, and also in
expounding the Vedas.
16. When a malefic is in the 7th house with no doubt a
young female undertakes asceticism similar to the
planet situated in the 9th house. All that is also to be
done during the marriage, in the act of deciding,
during the time in giving away in marriage, and while
considering.

Chapter Twenty-Six
(Lost Horoscopes)

Translated by

 Chapter Twenty-Six Overview
Chapter Twenty-Six Outline Chapter Twenty-six of the ​Brihat Jataka​ covers
of Main Concepts matters related to lost horoscopes.
(listed as they appear in the text)
What to do When the Time of Impregnation or
Birth Cannot be Determined
When the time of impregnation or birth cannot be
reasoned; from the inquired (​prashna​ reading), one
should declare the birth.
Determining the ​Ayana​ of the Birth
From the ​lagna ​in the first and last halves of the
house, one should know the birth when the Sun was
situated in the northern or southern (​ayana​).
Determining the Year of Birth
Verse: Having ascertained the years from a guess of
the age is Jupiter in the ​trikonas​ (1st to 4th, 5th to 8th,
or 9th to 12th houses) from the ​lagna ​with the three
portions (​drekkanas​), respectively.
Commentary: What this verse is saying it that first
determine one of the three sectors of the chart that
Jupiter was in at the birth of the querent. If Jupiter
was in the 1st ​drekkana​ of the ​lagna​, then Jupiter was
between the 1st to 4th houses depending an
assessment of the age of the person. If Jupiter was in
the 2nd ​drekkana​ of the ​lagna​, then Jupiter was
between the 5th to 8th houses depending an
assessment of the age of the person. If Jupiter was in
the 3rd ​drekkana​ of the ​lagna​, then Jupiter was
between the 9th to 12th houses depending an
assessment of the age of the person.

Determining the Season of Birth
The birth was in the summer season when the ​lagna
contains the Sun. But those described with those
remaining when the season is in another ​ayana​.
In the next section is commentary for chapter 2, verse
12 outlining the seasons connected with the planets.
One commentary tries to tie the planets to the
traditional East Indian seasons, but there are only six
seasons for seven planets in this arrangement. That
commentary works around this by stating that the Sun
represents the very hot part of summer, but this does
not make sense with the listing of the planets in the
verse corresponding with the seasons. Why would the
very hot summer season of the Sun be in between the
winter and cold seasons?

Seasons Associated with the Planets or the Rising
Deshkana
With the Dreshkanas are the winter, spring, summer,
rainy, autumn, and cold seasons or in the rising signs
of Saturn, Venus, Mars, the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter
and the Sun.
I prefer the hypothesis that the correspondences
between the seasons and the planets and that of the
Deshkanas have been lost to time, hopefully to be
rediscovered.

The six typical seasons of the East Indian culture are

as follows:
Shishira​ (Winter) (15th of January - 15th of March)
Vasanta​ (Spring) (15th of March - 15th of May)
Grishma​ (Summer) (15th of May - 15th of July)
Varsha​ (Rainy) (15th of July to 15th of September)
Sharat​ (Autumn) (15th of September - 15th of
November)
Hemanta​ (Cold) (15th of November - 15th of January)
Clarification on Determining the Season of Birth
When the ​Ayana ​is Reversed
The Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter are to be exchanged
with Venus, Mars, and Saturn, respectively, when the
ayana​ is reversed.
Determining the Month and ​Tithi​ of Birth
In the first portion of the ​drekkana​ is the first month
and ​tithi​ are to be calculated from the proportion.
Determining the ​Tithi​, Day or Night, and the Exact
Time of Birth
Here also those lords of the twice-borns skillful in the
horoscope they declare ​tithi​ (lunar day) is equal to the
degree of the Sun in a zodiac sign. Among the defined
night and day zodiac signs, the birth in the opposite
day and night, respectively. The time of birth is to be
calculated by the portions in degrees that have risen in
the zodiac sign.
Determining the Lunar Month of the Birth
Some (twice-born skilled in the horoscope) declare
the month from the zodiac sign occupied by the Moon
named from the end of the bright fortnight of the
Moon (full moon) at birth is joined to greatest strength
in a ​trikona ​(1st, 5th, or 9th house) from the ​lagna​, or
indicated by the touching of the body region, etc. by
the querent.
Determining the Zodiac Sign of the Moon of the
Birth
As many zodiac signs the Moon is situated from the
lagna ​in the querent chart, so far is the Moon is from
the Moon in the querent chart in zodiac signs
indicating the Moon’s zodiac sign of birth.
When the rising ​lagna is Pisces, the position of the
Moon in Pisces is indicated.
And with the sounded, appearance, or food brought to
be considered.
Various Methods for Determining the ​Lagna​ of the
Birth
It is said in the text, the ​lagna ​is equal to the
navamsha lagna ​or one should declare the ​lagna ​of
the querent when born as far as the Sun is from the
lagna ​in the ​drekkana​.
The birth (​lagna​) should be indicated when [a planet]
is at a particular degree in the ​lagna​ with strength or
when multiplied by the digits of a shadow and divided
by 12, the remainder is the birth (​lagna​).
With the [querent] seated, asleep, risen, and standing
is the house [of birth] indicated situated the 7th, 4th,
10th, or 1st.
Determining the Moon’s ​Nakshatra ​of the Querent,
His Wife, Brother, Son, and Enemy
Taurus and Leo, Gemini and Scorpio, Aries and Libra,
and Virgo and Capricorn, in that order, are to be
multiplied by 10, 8, 7, and 5, respectively. Those
remaining (Cancer, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Pisces)
are multiplied by one’s own number (4, 9, 11, and 12,
respectively). Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury are
as initially indicated (are to be multiplied by 10, 8, 7,
and 5, respectively). Those remaining planets (the
Sun, Moon, and Saturn) are like Mercury (to be
multiplied by 5). Of those zodiac signs and with those
joined to planets, this rule is always to be performed
by multiplication of those.
Multiplied by seven having added 9 (for a movable
zodiac sign), subtracted 9 (for a dual zodiac sign), or
not at all (for a fixed zodiac sign), the ​nakshatra ​of
the querent is the remainder from that divided by 27.
Thus from this the zodiac signs of the wife, brother,
son, and enemy of the querent one should declare with
the origin of the rising zodiac of those.

Determining the Year, Season, Month, ​Tithi​, Night
or Day Related to the ​Nakshatras​ in the Rising
Time
The year, season, month, ​tithi​, and indeed the night or
day related to the ​nakshatras ​in the rising time, those
various portions of the ​navamshas ​of zodiac signs
moreover should be multiplied by 10, etc., divided by
one’s variety, and with adding or subtracting nine are

The numbers are 2, 3, 14, 10, 15, 21, 9, and 8

number is multiplied by 15 [and added to the number]

respectively). Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury are

10. Multiplied by seven having added 9, subtracted 9,
