1. Definition of Delineation
2. Definition of Dynamic Configuration [Yoga & Vargas]
What is Delineation?
• Dictionary meaning – Describe, or portray ideas, thoughts and
events through drawing, pictures or sketches
• In astrology, the word delineation of horoscope - refers to

explaining the planetary position in a chart based on astrological
principles for prediction.
• It is an understanding of position of planets in an chart that are

posited in different rashis/houses and nakshatra and effect of
such position on native/event are analysed in the process of
“Delineation of a horoscope”.
What is Dynamic Configuration?
• Dynamic configuration is the ability to change the behavior and
functionality of a planet by its position of dignity, strength and
weaknesses, aspects by other planets, Avastas, Conjunctions,
Yogas and its position in divisional charts.
Topic -2 Delineation of Horoscope

• Factors for Delineation –
• Position
• Position in a Rashi
• Position in a House
• Position in a Nakshatra
Analysis of Houses
Lagna Signs Bhadaka House Bhadaka Lord
Bhadaka Houses – Aries Aquarius Saturn
• For a Lagna of Movable/Chara Rashi- 11 th House Chara (Movable) Cancer Taurus Venus
Libra Leo Sun
• For a Lagna of Dual Sign – 7th House Capricorn Scorpio Mars

• For a Lagna of Fixed Sign – 9th House Taurus Capricorn Saturn
Sthira (Fixed) Leo Aries Mars
• These are houses of impediments causing delays. Scorpio Cancer Moon
Aquarius Libra Venus
Gemini Sagittarius Jupiter
Dwiswabhava (Dual) Virgo Pisces Jupiter
Sagittarius Gemini Mercury
Pisces Virgo Mercury
Neutral Houses – 2nd and 12th
• The 2nd & 12th houses are considered impressively neutral.
• Their real nature should be seen by the second house their lord owns or the type of
aspect/ influence received by them.
• However if both are afflicted, one will have insatiable appetite to amass wealth and
any cruel means may justify the end.
Chapter 2 – Delineation of Horoscope

• Positional Dignity
• Exaltation (Uchha)
• Moola Trikona
• Own House (Sva Kshetra)
• Friend House (Mitra Sthana)
• Neutral House (Sama Sthana)
• Enemy’s House (Shatru Sthana)
• Debilitation (Neecha Sthana)
Planets/Grahas
• There are 9 Planets/Grahas. Out of these only five-Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter &
Saturn are planets in real term.
• Sun is a star and lord of our solar system.
• Moon is a satellite of Earth, but being the closest heavenly body of Earth & having a

great speed, has significant effects on Earth & its habitants
• Rahu & Ketu are point of intersection of ecliptic & Moon's orbit and have no mass of
their own. They act as filters for radiation coming from cosmos of extra-
saturian objects
• Predictions are based on the nine planets (celestial force centers), emanating
electromagnetic radiations, corresponding to seven chakras and nine physical
systems in the human body
• The activation process is linked with the seven planets; while Rahu & Ketu
represents the Karmic impediments, we all have to confront.
• The planetary influences pass through houses, signs & Nakshtras before reaching
the natives
Planets/Grahas
• Nature of Planets
• Natural Benefics- Jup, Ven, unafflicted Mer & waxing Mon

• Natural Malefics- Sat, Mar, Rah, Ket, afflicted Mer & waning Mon.
• Krror/ cruel- Sun (but not malefic)
• Separatist-Sun, Sat, Rah & 12th lord.
• Male- Sun, Mars & Jupiter.
• Female- Moon & Venus
• Eunuch-Mercury (male) & Saturn (female)

Planets/Grahas
• Functional benefic
• Most Malefic Planet (MMP)

• The Lord of Mooltrikone sign which happens to be 8th house, in a horoscope, it is
the most malefic planet for that lagna
• If there is no Mool Trikona Sign is the 8th house in a chart, but 6th or 12 th house
has a Mooltrikone sign, then 6th or 12th lord, in that order, will act as MMP
• In case there is no Mooltrikone house in any of the Trika house, then Ketu acts as
MMP
• Another interpretation says that if a planet simultaneously owns 3rd house & one
of the Trika (6,8 or 12th) house, it is the most malefic planet for that lagna

• Exaltation (Uchcha)
• Exaltation is the placement of a planet in a particular sign elevate the planetary
influences to their highest level.

• This is where the inherent nature (natural signification) of a planet is in perfect
harmony with the nature of the Sign.
• By virtue of being placed in a sign which resonates its own natural virtues the
planet feels in high morale, energy, position, exhilaration and strength.
• However, this does not mean that the Planet is likely to act responsibily, in fact, it
is like a youngster on dope, in a party; the high energy doesn't guarantee a great
experience.
• Exaltation is a state of potency, of agreeableness, honour, vanity, confidence and
composure.
• It is then in good dignity and this gives the planet, ability to make sure effect on
the house it sits and owns.
• Debilitation (Neecha)
• Polarity to exaltation is observed in the directly opposite sign (and degrees) is the
sign of fall (debility), the planet suffers loss of strength and a reduction of

potency.
• This is where the inherent nature (natural signification) of a planet is not in
harmony with the nature of the Sign.
• It is observable that in the Kaalpurush Chakra (natural zodiac with Aries Lagna),
the Signs correspond with the significations of the House numbers. Thus, the
reason of debility of planets also correlates to some extent with that of natural
house.
• It can be observed, that typically, a planet fails to give great results in this house
of debility of the Kaalpurush Kundali, and, often correspond with the
Maranakaraka Sthana of the planet.
• Debilitation (Neecha) Continued…
• Debilitation is the state of uneasiness for a Planet. It is the loss of composure for a
planet, and brings awkwardness and agitation to the planets.

• In such a situation the effects are not always bad for a native, but this loss will
have an impact for sure, even if the Planet is a Dusthana lord.
• If the Planet's nature is incompatible with the energy of the sign it is in, the
disharmony leads to weaking of the Planet's sense of honour, so, it gives
inadequacy of its natural gifts, its house ruler ships as well as house it sits in.
• It is as if the planet is inept to deal with the responsibilities thrust upon it, as its
skills do not match with the requirements. Its like having to wear a wrong size of
shoe.
• A debilitated planet gives unfavorable results pertaining to its lordship, as well as
for the house where it is posited
• In classics, several combinations for cancellation of debility of a planet, called
Neech Bhang Rajyoga have been given as under: [8 golden Rules]
• When lord of debilitation sign is in Kendra from lagna/ Moon

• When debilitated planet's exaltation sign lord is in Kendra from lagna/ Moon
• When debilitated planet is itself posited in a Kendra from lagna/ Moon
• When debilitated planet's sign despositor, which is its exaltation sign lord,
influences that planet by conjunction or aspect
• When debilitated planet's debilitation sign lord and exaltation sign lord are
in mutual-aspect or in Kendra
• When the planet, which gets exalted in the debilitated planet's sign is
posited in a Kendra from lagna/ Moon
• The debilitated planet gets exalted in Navamsha
• The debilitated planet is aspected by another debilitated planet
• Note : In all such combinations, please note the relevance of position of planet in Kendra from lagna/ Moon or
interrelation between lords of debilitated & exalted signs. However it must always be remembered that in all
such cases, a debilitated planet would initially give bad results in its period/ sub-period before giving some good
results in later part of its period.
Neech Bhang Rajyoga Example
Chart
• Neech Bhang Rajyoga

• Shukra has attained
Neechabhanga due to Guru
occupying Kendra from
Chandra, and also Budha
conjoining Shukra being in
Uccha. Shukra being in
Paravatamsa is very unique
in the horoscope, one that
shows that the native will
transcend all boundaries.
• Moola Trikona
• MT sign is the one, which is considered to be the dominant sign of the planet,
giving its positive results

• The sing opposite to MT sign is the sign of detrimental giving opposite result.
• Normally a planet gives the results of the house where its Mooltrikone sign falls
except when the planet is posited in the other sign itself
• Directional Strength

• Planets are supposed to be strong in four cardinal directions
• Mercury & Jupiter are strong in east occupying 1st house
• Moon and Venus are strong in North or in 4th House
• Saturn is strong in west or in 7th House
• Sun and Mars are strong in south or 10th House.
• The planets are the weakest in opposite house of their strength
Planetary Friendship
• Chapter 3, Verse 55, of BPHS gives the rule for planetary friendship.
• Natural Friendship - From the Moola Trikona of any planet
• Lords of 4th, 2nd, 12th, 5th, 9th and 8th and the lord of exaltation sign are
friendly to that planet.

• Lords of other houses are enemies
• Lords who owns both are Neutral
Planet Friendly Inimical Neutral

Planetary Friendship
• Temporal Friendship
• A planet which is posited in 2nd , 3rd , 4th , 10tn , 11tn & 12th houses from a planet is its
temporary friend and planets in other houses its enemy.
• Panchada Maitri

• A combination of the two types of friendship is called Panchada Maitri.
• If two planets are friends in both the types, they are called fast friends.
• If they are enemies in both types, they are called bitter enemies.
• If they are friend in one & enemy in the other they are neutrals.
• Planets posited in Friendly houses gives good results.
• Planets posited in Enemy houses gives results less than its potentiality
• Temp. Natural Effect Effect of Friendship
• Friend + Friend = Great Friend Fully Benefic
• Friend + Neutral = Friend Beneficial
• Friend + Enemy = Neutral Good Results in Friendly Dasha
• Enemy + Neutral = Enemy Obstrutive Harmful
• Enemy + Enemy = Bitter Enemy Malafic and Harmful results
• Enemy + Friend = Neutral Good Results in Friendly Dasha
Results of Positional Dignity Planets
Jatatak Parijaat (Chapter 7: Sloka 58) and Saravali (Chapter 34: Sloka 14)
gives a simple but approximate method of calculating strength of a
planet as under:

Planet in Rashis Benefic Planets Malefic Planet
Exaltation Full or 100% benefic result 1/32 or 3% Benefic
Mooltrikona ¾ or 75% benefic result
Own Sign ½ or 50% benefic result
Friend’s Sign 1/4 or 25% benefic result
enemy's sign 1/8 or 12.5% benefic result
debilitation sign 1/16 or 6.25% benefic result ¾ or 75% benefic result
combustion 1/32 or 3% Benefic

• Avasthas
• Five Baladi Avastas
• Three Jagratadi Avastas
• Six Lajjitadi Avastas
• Nine Deeptadi Avastas
• Twelve Shayanadi Avastas
Planetary Avastas Planets
There are 5 types of Planetary Avasthas
• 1. Baalaadhi – Based on Maturity
• 2. Jagradadi – Based on Alertness

• 3. Deeptaadi – Based on Status
• 4. Lajjitaadi – Based on Mood (such as proud, shy etc.)
• 5. Shayanaadi – Based on Condition of activity
Baalaadhi – maturity
• This state reflects the maturity of the planet and there are five kinds listed in the
table below.
• The planet that falls in the first six degrees of an odd sign is called a Bala (childlike).
It will only give 25% of its results.
• The table below shows the states of the planets in different degrees and signs.

18° to 24° Old/Vridha 6° to 12° ½
24° to 30° Dead/Mrita 0° to 6° ¼
• It is said that planets such as Sun and Mars give the best results in Balaavastha( infant)
• Jupiter and Venus in the Yuva (Youth) and Moon and Saturn in Vriddha( old age).
• Mercury yields good results always.
• Please note planets posited below 1 degree and more than 29 degree in any house
considered to be Bhava sandhi and almost no results.
Planetary Avastas- Jagratadi Avasta Planets
• This condition shows the general alertness of the planet and there are three types.
• When a planet in own sign or exaltation is known as a Waker or Jagrit.
• In the waking state, the planet is fully aware of the physical, mental and emotional world and

its working.
• A planet in dream state or Swapna avastha is highly emotional and lives in the reality that is
projected by circumstances and its mind.
• A planet in deep sleep or “shushupti” and is ignorant of what is happening in the outside
world. It is natural that planet is not useful for acquiring material possessions.

Planetary Avastas- Deeptadi Avastas Planets
• This avastha reflects 9 types the status or the dignity of the planets
• This states takes into consideration its position within house.
• The most important aspect to look at in Deeptaadi state is that planets in the first four

avasthas (when planets are in exaltation, own house/mulatrikona and in a friend’s house)
yield fairly good results during the dashas.
• Further the “guna” exhibited by them is Uttama, which is higher. The planets have high ideals
and are mostly working in a satvic state.
• In the Middle three categories, planets are set to exhibit Madhyama Guna which is more
Rajasic and self-centred.
• In the last three, they exhibit Adhama Guna which is very tamasic and not good for society.
• Naturally before concluding and making predictions, one would look at the natural and
temporal friendships, conjunctions and aspects.
Planetary Avastas- Lajjatadi Avasta Planets
• This avastha reflects the mood of the planet. The various conditions and the results are
summarised below.

Chapter 2 –

Planetary Strength & Weaknesses
• Retrogression [Vakri]
• Stationary [Sthamba]
• Combustion [Astangata]
• Planetary War [Graha Yudha]
• Rashi Parivartana
• Bhavat Bhavam
• Strong and Weak Planets
Retrograde Planets Planets
• Planets move around the Sun and in reality they are always in direct motion except Rahu & Ketu.
• When viewed from Earth, it appears that sometimes, planets have slowed down in their direct
motion and become stationary; and then appear to reverse their direction of motion.
• Thus it is an apparent retrogression and not an actual change in direction.

• It occurs due to relative position of Earth the planet, though both actually move in the same
direction.
• The difference in speed of Earth & the give the illusion.
• All planets except the Sun & Moon through retrogression. The Rahu & Ketu are perpetual
retrograde.
• A retrograde planet creates deficiency in some of the aspects of the house where it is placed and
diminishes the significance of the houses of which it is lord.
• A stationary planet before/ after retrogression, is supermalefic.
• The strength of a planet conjunct with a retrograde planet is usually increased.
• The benefic results of a retrograde planet are usually held in abeyance and malefic results are
increased
• Benefics in retrogression gives power and malefic sorrow & sufferings.
• Retrogression deprives or reduces Jeeva Sukha indicated by the planet e.g Mars indicates younger
sibling, Mercury maternal relations, Jupiter elder siblings, Venus wife, and Saturn servants.
Retrograde Planets Planets
A retrograde planet gives effects of the previous house or the house from which it has fallen
back.
• Retrogression gives a planet additional strength and Chesta bala enabling it to give good

or evil according to its functional nature.
• A retrograde planet gives effects similar to those an exalted planet even though placed in
an inimical sign. But an exalted but retrograde planet does not act as debilitated one.
• Retrograde planets in 2nd 4th 5th 7th 9th, or 11th house are good for general health, but
they aggravate existing diseases if in 1st, 3rd 6th 8th or 12th house. In 8th house, it
adversely affects longevity.
• Retrograde Mars in a Trika house causes losses due to fire.
• Retrograde Venus in a Kendra is extra-ordinarily good; but retrograde & afflicted Venus
anywhere else affects moral values & marital harmony.
• Retrograde Saturn in 10th confers very high honours and then knocks the bottom out of
the native
Stationary or Sthambana
• Jupiter and Saturn are slow moving planets and important planets. Planets
• When a planet is stationary in transit, i.e.moving with a much smaller speed than usual, the planet is akin
to a person who is calm and still.
• Just as a person who is calm and still can focus better and be more productive, a stationary planet can
focus its energies better and give some important results.

• The natal positions touched by such a planet by conjunction or aspect are activated by the stationary
transit.
• Conjunction and aspects of a transiting planet on planets in natal rasi chart as well as natal divisional
charts seem to be important.
• A stationary planet in quadrants or trines from lagna of a natal rasi/divisional chart seems to trigger
good results related to the natal positions in that chart that are conjoined or aspected by it.
• A stationary planet in dusthanas from lagna of a natal rasi/divisional chart seems to trigger bad results
related to the natal positions in that chart that are conjoined or aspected by it.
• As stationary transit of Jupiter and Saturn takes place a couple of times every year and covers a very
small fraction of the zodiac, one cannot expect results to be triggered only by extremely close
conjunctions.
• One can instead take an orb of about 7 degrees.
• Not every event can be seen with this approach, as events do happen even when planets are not
stationary.
• However, if a planet is moving very slowly and has a close conjunction or aspect on an important point of
the natal chart, significant events can be expected around such times.
Combustion of Planets Planets
• Whenever a planet comes very near to the Sun, it is Moon 12⁰ Moon 12⁰
divested of its brightness (luster). The said state is called
combustion.
• While in the state of combustion, the planets lack power Mars 17⁰ Mars 17⁰

to protect and promote the significations/houses ruled by
them. If such a planet is weak on other accounts too, the
significations ruled by them do not even take birth. Mer 14⁰[12⁰R] Mer 14⁰[12⁰R]
• The planets are said to be combust when they are within
the below mentioned degrees on either side of the Sun.
• The planets are considered combust when they have Ven 10⁰[8⁰R] Ven 10⁰[8⁰R]
following longitudinal difference with the Sun on either
side:
• Planet Combustion Degree Jup 11⁰ Jup 11 ⁰
• Moon – 12 degrees
• Mars – 17 degrees
• Mercury – 14 degrees (12 degrees when retrograde)
Sat15⁰ Sat 15 ⁰
• Venus – 10 degrees (8 degrees when retrograde)
• Jupiter – 11 degrees
• Saturn – 15 degrees
Effects of Combustion of Planets Planets
• When both the Sun and the combust planet are functional benefic planets and are closely
conjunct, we have to see their two roles distinctively.
• Firstly, as the lords of the two auspicious houses they rule. The significations of both of these
houses will flourish and will be connected to each other except the short run transit malefic

influences which will stress the combust planet comparatively more than the Sun.
• Secondly, the role of a combust planet. The combust planet is considered as a weak planet but
in case the Sun and planet(s) involved are functional benefic planets, the weakness of the
combust planet(s) is operative only at the time of natal or transit afflictions.
• If a functional malefic planet closely influences any other planet or the Sun, a functional
malefic planet will certainly color the significations of the planet under its influence,
negatively.
• The weakness due to combustion gives high and low tides in life and need astral strength for
the planets to enable them to fight natal and / or transit afflictions.
• Cancellation of Combustion if:
 The combust planet comes out victorious in planetary war.
 It is a Yogkaraka planet.
 Sun itself is debilitated or eclipsed by Rahu.
Graha Yuddha or Planetary War Planets
• It deal with the method of assessing the strength of planets at war
• In the celestial mechanics, all planets are in constant motion both along their own axis and
around the Sun.

• During their movement some times they come very close to each other within 5 degrees
of longitude, at different declinations.
• Under such conditions, the rubbing of Rashmi (rays) of one planet with another takes
place which is technically called as war between the planets or Graha Yuddha.
• As a result of this clashing of forces of their respective rays, planets (either one or both )
become weak.
• Their lustre or activities like speed of rotation/revolution, etc may marginally vary.
• The physical state of planets in war is thus different from their normal states. This
variation affects the natives having such a combination in the natal charts.
• It also creates devastating effects in national and international matters the study of which
is resorted to in Mundane Astrology.
Types of Graha Yuddha or Planetary War Planets
• Types of Graha Yuddha : According to Brihat Samhita , there are 4 types of
planetary war
• Ullekha : When Planets are posited within 5° but not within 3° and posited in the

same Nakshatra Pada , the rims of two orbs of the planets are grazing each other
and the disc of one appears to be rubbing against the disc of the other. This is
called as Ullekha.
• Bedha : When Planets are posited within 5° in same or different Nakshatra padas
but in two different rasis, the disc of one planet appears to be eclipsed by the disc
of the other. This is called as Bheda.
• Amshumardhanam : When Planets are posited within 1° in the same nakshatra
pada, the light of one planet mixes with that of the other. This is called as
amshumardhanam.
• Apasavya : Planets being posited within 5º either in same/different sign/ rasi and if
One planet is retrograde but the other is in direct motion , the planets are
distinctly separated from each other. This is called as Apasavya.
• Besides the above, Bowddha , a fifth type of planetary war is also said to occur
when Planets are posited within 1° in different nakshatra padas. (Bhattotpala, the
celebrated commentator on Brihat Samhita, alludes to as many as 15 types of
planetary war the details of which are not available in extant literature).
Assessment of Graha Yuddha or Planetary War Planets
• Only these 5 planets enter into Graha Yuddha. Sun, Moon, Rahu and Ketu are never at war with any
planet. Close conjunction with Sun causes Combustion while that of Moon is identified as ‘Samaagama’.
• The winner and loser in the war are decided based on the longitudes or declinations of planets . The
planet with the lesser longitude is always the winner and the one with higher longitude is said to be

defeated . Planet with more northern declination is the winner.
• The winner is usually large (Vipula), glossy (Snigdha) and brilliant(Dyutiman).
• The loser, posited in Southern declination, is rough, trembling, withdrawing from the other without
contacting it, small, mounted, of ugly appearance, bereft of radiance and colour.
• A planet in conjunction with another which might appear of small disc or dim is deemed to suffer
defeat even though he might be a northern planet.
• There is a special rule for Kuja being the commander of the planetary cabinet . whenever Kuja is in war
with other planets he is always considered as the winner irrespective of his longitude or declination.
• As Venus is always bright, he is generally successful whether he appears southern or northern,
according to Surya & Paulisa Siddhantas.
• Rahu and Ketu which are permanently retrograde, have a stronger effect if posited within 5º of a
particular planet. But, they are not considered according to the rules of planetary war.
• Example: if Venus and mars have conjunction and if Venus have more degree than Mars and Venus will be defeated
in planetary war by Mars. The person will suffer in all Venus stuff like relationship, women, love, and creativity. The
person will be have more martian energy and can be aggressive and good fighter. The person also suffer in where
planets sitting in the birth chart as well as what house they rule in the birth chart.
Effects of Graha Yuddha or Planetary War Planets
• The Winner in planetary war is always strong enough to deliver what it has to deliver by virtue
of its role/ lordship/ position/ status in the horoscope.
• The portfolios of the planet will prosper. According to Saravali ( Ch.5/Sl.40), a planet that has
won in a planetary war is capable of bestowing complete happiness and kingdom that cannot

be besieged.
• A victorious planet when conjoined with Chandra and not combust, gives very auspicious
results, victory over enemies , a high post in Government, etc.
• The loser is said to be in “Kopa” avastha or “Nipiditha” avastha. The results of this avastha are
always bad for the native irrespective of lordship or placement of the planet in the horoscope.
The portfolios of the planet will suffer. The more a planet is stricken, the more it will harm
everything belonging to it.
• Benefics who are defeated by a malefic are rendered very weak where as the benefic winning
over a malefic becomes much stronger
• a benefic planet victorious in planetary war at birth and is essentially aspected by another
benefic, destroys all evils just as a gale can uproot trees.
• If Kuja is within the orb of influence of planets in Graha yuddha, there is no exemption from
Kuja Dosha.
• If more than two planets are at war , then their relative results have to be judged by taking one
as the loser with reference to the other.
Why Luminaries not part of Graha Yuddha or Planetary War Planets
• Tara Grahas (Panchabootatmaka planets) are said to engage in war and the luminaries are
excluded from the purview of Graha Yuddha.
• Sun , being the universal spirit ( Jagat Atma ), is not affected by Tara Grahas. Whenever Tara
Grahas come in contact with Sun they lose their originality and get dissolved in the universal

spirit. That is why planets coming very close to Sun are said to be getting combust or burnt.
That means to say that Sun is capable of absorbing the energies of all other planets as a result
of which they lose their identity and individual influence.
• Moon is the Dasa significator. He is the planet responsible for unfolding the karmic influence of
an individual in any birth by suitably activating one’s mind according to the designs of fate. That
is possible only if there is a smooth interaction among the planets. Actually when planets
conjoin Moon, a special effect is produced in each case by the interactive energies which
creates a corresponding change in the mental make up of the individual as a result of which he
reacts in a particular pattern for each of the stimulus from the external world. Thus, the
conjunction of moon with other planets does not cause any destruction but only creates a
modified synergic effect. This phenomenon has been called with a unique name. The word
‘Samagama’ is used for describing the effects of various planetary conjunctions with moon.
• The strongest planet of the horoscope along with Lagna and Rasi lords usually influences the
native to a large extent. When the influence of Luminaries or Chaya Grahas ( Rahu and Ketu)
become predominant in the horoscope the karmic effects of the soul are also at play in that
incarnation.
Rashi Parivartana Planets
• Whenever two planets exchanges their signs signifies Parivartan relation between two planets
• Parivartan can be termed as the strongest form of relationship that can exist between two
planets (More than conjunction & Mutual Aspects,).
• To give example, If the Jupiter is placed in the house of moon and moon is placed in the house of

Jupiter, they exchange the houses in that chart.
• Parivartan yoga increases the power of both involved houses as well as both planets involved,
• In other words if two planets are exchanging their signs so you can say like both planets are
sitting in each other houses, in short for prediction you can replace their position in horoscope.
• Any planetary position gets denoted by one yoga hence such situation is known as Rashi
Parivartan Raja Yoga in Vedic astrology.
• In other words, the interchange of two Rashi lords forms a special planetary combination called
Parivartan yoga in Vedic Astrology
• It means exchange of power, exchange of energy, exchange of natural nature of each other.
• So whenever two planets exchanges their signs in any horoscope it simple means that they are
mutually connected to each other and will work together in future under each other
Effects of Rashi Parivartana Planets
• This is a very important consideration during analysis of any horoscope because the Parivartan
Yoga will greatly increase the strength of the planets involved as well as the houses they
occupy.
• Through Parivartan they are able to exchange places and gain the influence, power and

strength of their rulership
• It also helps a planet to get out from debilitated or weak stage.
• Whenever planets exchanges their signs so Both Planets also become owner of all ruled houses
(those houses which are involved in Parivartan) means Even single planets is ruling four houses
those are exchanging their signs. (Except Sun and Moon and Rahu and Ketu because sun and
moon ruled one sign and Nodes rules no sign).
• That’s the main reason they act very powerfully because their power and area of influence
becomes double.
• But remember if the exchanged planets are natural or temporal Malefics, results may be
emphatically more difficult than the planet might separately produce.
Bhavat Bhavam Planets
• The concept of bhavat-bhavam means that from the bhava in question, it is the future bhava. Bhavat means
future. So it is as if the bhava is born again in the future.
• Bhavat Bhavam means ‘house to house’; it is one of the key principles of the vedic astrology.
• Bhavat Bhawam is a concept which says that whichever house you are looking to grasp results, look at that house

and additionally look at the house which is exactly at same number of house away.
• As per this principle matters/effects of one house is also readable/governed from the house which is of the same
number counted from the original house.
• For example, if you are studying the 4th house then also study simultaneously the 7th house which is 4th house
from the 4th house.
In same way:
• Bhavat Bhawam of 2nd house (Family, Wealth etc.) - look for 2nd from the 2nd house, i.e. 3rd house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 3rd house (Efforts, Communication Skills etc.) - look for 3rd from the 3rd house, i.e. 5th house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 4th house (Home, Mother etc.) - look for 4th from the 4th house, i.e. 7th house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 5th house (Education, Children etc. ) - look for 5th from the 5th house, i.e. 9th house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 6th house (Debts, Diseases, Enemies etc.) - look for 6th from the 6th house, i.e. 11th house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 7th house (Marriage, Spouse etc.) - look for 7th from the 7th house, i.e. 1st house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 8th house (Occult, Secrets etc.) - look for 8th from the 8th house, i.e. 3rd house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 9th house (Higher Knowledge, Religion etc.) - look for 9th from the 9th house, i.e. 5th house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 10th house (Father, Work Environment) - look for 10th from the 10th house, i.e. 7th house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 11th house (Gain, Income etc.) - look for 11th from the 11th house, i.e. 9th house.
• Bhavat Bhawam of 12th house (Foreign Lands, Spirituality etc. ) - look for 12th from the 12th house, i.e. 11th house.
Principle of Negation – 12 th House Planets
• This is based on principle of Negation. Lagna being first house beginning and origin of the
horoscope, 12th House is considered as last house or end of Bhava.
• 12th house always opposite or negates the purpose of 1st House. This principle is known as
principle of negation.

Chapter 2 – Aspects

• Aspects by own Lord
• Aspects by Natural/Functional Benefics
• Aspects by Natural/Functional Malefics
Basics Planetary Aspects/Griha Dristi
• Normal Aspect –
• All Planets have aspect on House/Planet posited in 7th House from its position in
horoscope

• Normally planets from their position aspect the house 180⁰ apart.
• Special Aspect-
• Superior planets – Planets beyond earth in the solar system [Mars, Jupiter, Saturn]
apart from aspect on 7th House, have special aspects as below:
• Mars – 4th house, 8th House
• Jupiter – 5th House, 9th House
• Saturn – 3rd House, 10th house
• Some astrologers are of the opinion that Rahu and Ketu have same aspect like Jupiter.
• When planets aspect each other they transmit their own energy & influence to the
aspected planet, thus modifying the characteristics of the later.
Intensity of Aspect Planetary Aspects/Griha Dristi
The intensity of the influence depends as under:

• When the two planets aspects mutually each other, the related Influence is full.

• When one planet aspects the other, but does not get aspected in return, the influence is not
intense or the relationship is only half.
• When the aspecting & the aspected planet have more or less the same longitude, their
influence is the max1mum.
Planets
General observations about planets-
• The Nakshtra lord of a planet is stronger than the sign lord (Depositor), who is stronger than the

planet itself.
• Planets posited under same Nakshtra lord behave in similar way even if they may be posited in
different signs.
• Malefics are good in 3rd, 6th & 11th house and still better if they own it.
• Nodes are not bad in Upchaya (3rd, 6th 10th & 11th) houses.
• Benefics are good in Kendra (if they don't own it) and Trikone houses.
• A functional malefic for a lagna, if strong becomes more harmful (the stronger the worse), but if
weak & afflicted, gives good results (worse the affliction, better the results)
Planets
General observations about planets-
• Owners of bad houses (3rd, 6th, 8th & 12th) when placed in a bad house, do well because of

Vipreet Rajyoga
• Sun, Saturn, Rahu & 12th lord are all separative planets and their influence cause separation
from significations of relevant house; but their influence on 2nd house gives medical
knowledge.
• A planet having lordship over any two of the evil houses-3rd 6th 8th 11th or 12th- becomes
doubly malefic e.g. Mercury for Aries, Cancer & Scorpio, Jupiter for Taurus & Libra, Mars for
Gemini and Venus for Sagittarius lagna.
• Malefic's aspect on its own house is not bad.
• Lagna lord or a Yogkaraka planet enriches the significations of the house & planets it is related;
if posited in a bad house, it removes the malevolence of the house, but himself get weakened.
Relationship between the planets Planets
Association • Among these planets, the planets which are within
• Association- When two or more planets are posited in a a particular Nakshtra, makes better & stronger
sign/ house in birth/ Navamsha chart, irrespective of their association

distances within the sign, they are called to be in For example in case of Rajiv Gandhi, there were
association. five planets & Ascendant posited in Leo lagna.
• Their characteristics are modified by the sign, house & • Out of these the Sun & Jupiter were in Ketu's
Nakshtra, they are posited in and closeness of their degrees. Nakshtra (Magha), the Ascendant' Moon & Venus
• However too many planets in a house make the horoscope were in Venus's Nakshtra (Poorva phalguni)/ and
imbalanced, as too much energy is concentrated in the Mercury was in Sun's Nakshtra (Uttra-phalguni)
house, making other house to face shortage of of this with no planet in seven of the other signs/ houses,
energy.
Conjunction-
• The two planets are said to be in conjunction, when they are posited in a sign/ house in less than six
degrees and preferably in the same Nakshtra.
• Smaller the distance between the two planets, the greater will be inter-mingling of their

characteristics.
• However if the two planets are within this distance but happens to be in different Nakshtra, their
relation would fall under the category of association only.
Depositor/ Controller-
• A planet is related to its depositor.

• The two planets would be related if the dispositor of one is in relation with the depositor of the
other. The strength/ weakness of a depositor are equally important as the strength of the planet
itself.
• A strong depositor will be able to offset the weakness of the planet concerned or vice-versa.
• Therefore it is also called the controller of the planet.
• In case of Rahu & Ketu, since they do not own any sign/ house, the role of depositor becomes more
significant. Their depositors are also called Karmic control planets.
Relationship between the planets
Planets
Exchange-
• One of the most intricate relationship develops between two planets when they are posited in each
other's sign.
• Either planet is tenant of the other and so under full scrutiny of the other, Hence the characteristics
of the concerned planets, signs & houses get suitably enriched.

• Mrs Indira Gandhi had three sets of exchanges of planets in her horoscope. She had exchange of
Moon & Saturn (in 1 st & 7th house), of Sun & Mars (in 2nd & 5th house) and of Jupiter & Venus (in
6th & 11th house).
Nakshtra-
• A planet occupying the Nakshtra of a planet is strongly related to it e.g. if Moon is in Nakshtra of
Venus, it is related to Venus.
• Again if two or more planets posited under the same Nakshtra lord irrespective of their position of
sign/ house are said to be in relation and act in a similar way.
• This will be strengthened further, if the two planets are in the same pada of the Nakshtra lord or are
placed in trine to each other,
• If the planet/ (s) were compatible with the Nakshtra lord it would give strong positive otherwise the
result would be indifferent.
• In the horoscope of Netaji Subhash Bose, Mars, Moon & Sun though positet in 2nd, 6th & 10th
houses were under the influence Of Nakshtra lord Moon (all the planets were compatible With each
other) bestowing noble qualities of highest degree
Through Navamsha-
• A planet placed in a sign in the birth chart shall be related to any planet that occupies the same sign
in the Navamsha chart or vice versa.
• Please see the results of Rasi Tulya Navamsha or Navamsha Tulya Rashi.

Aspect-
• Each planet aspect the 7th house and planet/ (s) from its position in horoscope.
• Mars has additional aspects on 4th & 8th houses,
• Saturn on 3rd & 10th houses and
• Jupiter, Rahu & Ketu on 5th & 9th houses and planet posited therein.
• Although the above aspects are effective over the entire range of house, but the aspect gets more
pronounced if the aspecting planet and the aspected planet/ sensitive point of the house are within
six degrees (san the sign).
• If the two planets are in mutually aspecting position, their influence is full and their effects get
enhanced or reduced according to their nature.
• If the aspecting planet is associated/ conjunct with another planet, its aspect would carry the
benevolence/ malevolence accordingly
Relationship between a planet and the House Planets
• A planet gives the results relating to a house in its period, sub-period and/ or inter-period only if it
is related to that house.
• If an event is to take place in a major, sub and inter-period, each of the three planets should
independently indicate the event.

• Events to materialize, among other things, according to the houses operated by relevant planets
at the given moment of time.
• The strongest relationship is by occupancy, followed by ownership and next is through aspect.
• A planet could be related to a house in more ways than one e.g. it could own the house and
placed therein or own the house and have its depositor occupy the house. Stronger the
relationship, better and more certain will be its occurrence.
• The Planet and House may be related in any of the following way-
• A house is as strong as the owner of its sign (house lord). A planet gives results primarily of the
house that have its Mooltrikone sign.
• A house becomes strong, if its lord aspects or occupies it, regardless of the strength of the house
lord or the sign of the house.
• A house becomes strong if the Nakshtra lord of its mid-cusp is strong or aspects it.
• A planet gets related to the house if it is related to its owner or the Nakshtra lord of its sensitive
(mid-cusp) point.
Relationship between a planet and the House Planets
The Planet and House may be related in any of the following way-
• A planet shall occupy a sign in Navamsha chart. The lord of the sign in Navamsha where
planet is posited gets related to planet in birth chart.

• A house becomes strong if its Karaka planet is strong.
• A house becomes strong, if it is occupied by a strong planet which is compatible with its
house lord. The planet gives results relating to that house.
• A planet shall be related to a house, if it projects an aspect to its sensitive point within 5
degrees. In case of luminaries it could be more.
About Yogas.. Yogas
• The yogas formed by planets and other integrated factors play an important
role in evaluation of a chart in predictive astrology.
• Planets represent concentration of life force, Their placement in different

houses represents the exertion of life force in areas represented by their
occupation.
• Planets occupying specific signs get influenced by the nature & characteristics
of these signs.
• The eventual results depend upon how well the life force represented by the
planets, finds expression in modifying significations of houses & signs.
• In astrology, the yogas are formed by planets placed in a specific pattern,
relative to the ascendant or Moon, with an inherent linkage.
• This linkage could be involving planets only or between planets & house/
signs, or any other combination of the above.
• Yogas bestow success & gains in any or every field to the maximum extent
possible or cause Arishta/ evils/ misfortunes of untold variety & magnitude.
About Yogas.. Yogas
• Every native has a mixture of good yogas and Aristha operating at different
periods of one's life.
• Normally no single yoga is ever operative to the exclusion of any other yoga.

• However, it is possible to distinguish a certain accent of one over the other in
a chart.
• Factors influencing Yogas- A yoga is strong or weak depending upon its
constituents. In addition to nature strength of planets involved, other factors
that significantly modify results relevant yogas are as under:-
• The signs where such planets are placed.
• The signs owned by Sun, Mars & Saturn, transmit their natural malefic
& aggressive tendencies to planet occupying these.
• Similarly signs owned by Moon, Mercury, Jupiter & Venus are
inherently benign and even malefics occupying these acquire some
benevolence.
About Yogas.. Yogas
• Each house & its lord transmit its qualities to a yoga, which associates with it.
• Houses one to seven represent invisible/ dark half of the chart, which keep
the native & his activities somewhat in oblivion.

• Houses seven to one represent visible/ luminous half, which bestow native
better exposure & reward.
• Again planets posited close to Mid-cusp gives better results.
• Lordship of the relevant planets makes them functional benefic/ malefic.
• Proximity of relevant planets decides the concept of conjunction, association
and Nakshtra lord.
• Effects of Rahu, Ketu and retrograde planets, are normally not good unless
they are well placed in a Trikone or Kendra.
About Yogas.. Yogas
• As per Jatak Parijaat (7:58) and Saravali (34:14), the strength of Yoga can be
assessed by examining the position of Planet causing the yoga in following
positions in a sign –

• For the Benefic Planets
Positon Result for Benefic Planet Result for Malefic Planet
Exaltation 100% benefic 3 % benefic
Mooltrikone 75% benefic 6 % benefic
Own sign 50% benefic 12% benefic
Friendly sign 25% benefic 25% benefic
Inimical sign, 12% Benefic 50% benefic
Debilitation 6% Benefic 75% benefic
Fully combust. 3% Benefic 100% benefic
• The above order should be reversed for malefics i.e in exaltation gives only 3%
benefic and in debilitation 75% benefic results.
Factors influencing Yoga Yogas
The sign wherein such planets are placed.

The house/ houses involved.

Lordship of planets constituting yogas.
Extent of proximity between planets.
Effect of Rahu & Ketu and Retrograde planets.
Planetary aspects.
Dasha System.
The sign wherein such planets are placed.
 The seven planets from Sun to Saturn imparts their natural/ inherent
characteristics to the sign they own. The signs owned by Sun, Mars & Saturn have

their naturally malefic & aggressive tendencies, which get transmitted to the
planets occupying these. “Benefic Posited in Malefic houses acquire malfic qualities”
 Similarly the signs owned by Moon, Mercury, Jupiter & Venus are inherently
benign and even malefics occupying these signs acquire some benevolence. For
example, Saturn, a natural malefic loses its malevolence when occupying signs of
Jupiter or Venus. “Malefic Posited in benefic signs acquire malefic qualities”
 However the occupancy of a sign takes precedence over the lordship.
 For example if Sagittarius is occupied by Mars and Jupiter is not associated with its
sign, then the Jupiter will give results of Mars as well.
 The sign wherein such planets are placed.
 The 12 signs of zodiac have been classified as per their mobility as movable (signs 1,
4, 7 & 10), fixed (signs 2, 5, 8 & 11) and dual/ common (signs 3, 6, 9 & 12). The yogas

arising out of planets occupying movable signs have mobility, changeability,
adjustability, adaptability, and sharp decisions.
 Those arising out of fixed signs, are characterized by immovability, fixity,
stubbornness, reliability, perseverance, consistency and lack of adaptability.
 The dual signs give mixed results. Other qualities of signs also influence the results
of the yoga formed therein
 A planet gives best results when it is in its sign of exaltation and its strength keep
on diminishing in its position in Mooltrikone sign, own sign, friend's sign, neutral
sign, inimical sign and is least when in its sign of debilitation.
The house/ houses involved.
 Houses one to seven of a chart represent the invisible/ dark half of it. The planets
in this area keep the native or his activities somewhat in oblivion and do not get

full exposure in life.
 Houses seven to one represent visible/luminous area of the chart. Placement of
planets in this half makes one a better entrepreneur, famous & well known, and
one's activities find better exposure and reward.
 Again planets placed close to house-cusp or BhavaMadhya gives much better
results than those placed near the Bhava-Sandhi.
 Each house and its lord transmit its qualities to a yoga, which associates with it.
 Ownership of certain houses, makes the planets functionally benefic or malefic.
 Planets, as lords of certain houses, impart their qualities to the yogas they
participate in.
 Thus functionally benefic lords participating in a yoga give benevolence and
functionally malefics produce malevolence.
 The house/ houses involved.
 The houses are broadly divided into two groups- malefic and benefic.
 Trikone (1st, 5th & 9th) houses & lords are always benefic & auspicious.

 2nd & 12th houses & lords are neutral and their auspiciousness is judged by
their association or the ownership of the other house.
 Kendra lords lose their natural qualities i.e. benefics-Jupiter, Venus, Mercury &
Moon, lose their benevolence and malefics- Sun, Mars & Saturn, lose their
malevolence. So the ideal situation is if Kendra are owned by malefics, but
occupied by benefics.
 Role of Malefic Houses
 6th, 8th, & 12th houses are Trika/Dustana and their lords generally produce evil
results when yogas get associated with these houses or their lords except in
special cases.
 Trishadya houses ( 3rd, 6th & ll th) and their lords are also malefic though to a
lesser degree.
 The house/ houses involved. - Role of Malefic Houses…
 11th house & lord is bad for health (being 6th of 6th house), but not for wealth.
Trishadya lords when placed in own or 3rd, 6th, or 11th from their house, gives

good results.
 Yogas formed in or associated with Trika houses/ lords manifest struggle, ill-
health, obstacles, or losses in any form. Planets posited in these houses also
produce evil results.
 Any house lord when placed in 8th from its own house, gives ill-results.
 Association of Mars, Saturn or Rahu (any two) with Trika lord in a Trika house,
may cause danger from fire, explosion and may cause painful death. However
Sun in 3rd, Mars in 6th, Mercury in 8th and Venus in 12th are exceptions.
 When Trikone lords secure lordship over a Trika house, the malefic effects of
the Trika house is considerably reduced.
 - Role of Benefic Houses
 The other houses and lords are generally benefic.

 Yogas involving lagna & lagna lord influence nature, health, status & longevity
of the native.
 2nd house & lord influence wealth, speech, & family.
 3rd house & lord influence younger siblings, mobility, & change.
 4th house & lord generally produce happiness & satisfaction and influences
mother & comforts.
 5th house & lord influence progeny, creative abilities & mental attitude.
 7th house & lord influence marriage, spouse, sex, marital relations, business
partnership & longevity.
 9th house & lord influences luck, father, virtues & religious pursuits
 10th house & lord influences one's profession, status & power.
 - Role of Benefic Houses
 11th house & lord influences elder siblings, friends and gains/ accomplishment

of all sorts by all means.
 12th house & lord indicates losses, expenses & forbidden pursuits.
 Lordship of planets constituting yogas. -Role of Lords of houses
 Lords of Kendra & Trikones are always auspicious, whether they are natural
malefic or benefic. Even malefics or lords of malefic houses, when related with
Trikones or Trikone lords becomes auspicious.
 2nd, 4th, & 10th houses are auspicious in conferring benefic results.
 But when lords of 3rd, 6th, or 11th secure lordship of these houses, they
 lose strength to deliver benefic results.
 Lordship of planets constituting yogas. -Role of Lords of houses
 Yogkaraka Planets:
 A planet, that is simultaneously lord of a Kendra and a Trikone house, is called a

Yogkaraka planet.
 Such a planet is the most beneficial planet for that particular lagna and does
not suffer even if it is combust.
 This honour is given to only three planets- Mars for Cancer & Leo lagna, Venus
for Capricorn & Aquarius lagna, and Saturn for Taurus & Libra lagna.
 Extent of proximity between planets.
 The pIanetary proximity alter the vary nature of pIanets.
 When two planets are located close to each other, their mutual strength either
increases if they have similar nature or decrease if they have opposing nature.
 The planets which lie close to each, tend to retain their conjunction in Vargas or
divisional charts.
 When placed further apart, though in the same sign in a birth chart, they tend
to separate in Vargas and results of their conjunction do not manifest fully.
 Another interesting feature is the proximity of the longitude of planet with that of
the lagna (minus sign).

 It is observed that those planets which are degree wise close to degree of lagna
manifest their significations in much better & favourable way than others
 Similarly the yoga producing planets, if placed in their respective house at close
degree (minus sign) manifest better resuIts.
 Combustion: A planet is said to be combust or eclipsed when it disappears within a
particular proximity from the Sun in either direction, its light being overpowered by
that of the Sun temporarily.
 Combustion ranges (within degrees) for various planets are for Moon- 12; Mars 14;
Mercury 14, but 12 if retrograde; Jupiter 11, but 8 if retrograde; Venus 10, but 8 if
retrograde: Saturn 16. Rahu & Ketu never get combust; rather Rahu eclipses Sun when
very close. Combustion is cancelled if: (i) The combust planet comes out victorious in
planetary war. (ii) It is a Yogkaraka planet. (iii) Sun itself is debilitated or eclipsed by
Rahu.
 Planetary War: Two planets are said to be in planetary war (except Sun and
Moon), when they are in conjunction and within one degree of each other.

 The one with lesser degree wins the war. If they have an identical longitude to
the minute, then one in higher latitude is winner. The loser in war becomes
powerless to deliver any good result.
 Rahu Ketu and Retro Planets
 These two planets generally do not figure in any classical yoga. However they
are very important and their role must be appreciated, while making any

prediction. Both Rahu & Ketu are considered highly malefic.
 They have bluish complexion resembling smoke. They are wild in looks,
intelligent and of windy disposition.
 Rahu is like Saturn & Ketu like Mars in its malevolence.
 It is believed that they represent that portion of Prarbdha/ destiny, which is
 essential to undergo.
 They generally give results of planets whom they conjoin or of their depositor.
When conjoined with their house lord, they boost up the significations of the
house & its lord manifold.
 If unafflicted, they are considered good in Trikone houses and cause Raj yoga in
4th & 10th house; but are bad in 2nd or 12th house.
 They behave as Yogkaraka when they occupy a Kendra with a Trikone lord or
occupy a Trikone with a Kendra lord.
 As per shri Mantreshwar, a retrograde planet, malefic or benefic, if in a Kendra/
Trikone becomes super strong and super powerful.

 He then helps the native in every possible way for his self improvement and also
for taking him to the top at least for a short while.
 But these planets in 3rd, 9th, & 12th houses, produce very bad results. The
following broad principles will further enlighten the position of retro planets
 A retrograde planet creates deficiency in one of the aspects of the house in
which it is placed.
 It destroys the significations of the house of which he is the lord.
 The strength of the planet conjunct with the retrograde planet is usually
increased.
 A planet retrograde in natal chart, during its dasha, gives good results when it is
in direct motion and a planet in direct motion, during its dasha, gives good
results when it is in retrograde motion.
 As per Saravali, A retrograde planet, becomes extrastrong, being Chesta bali,
conferring good or evil according to its functional nature, provided it is not

debilitated.
 Retrograde Saturn in 10th house confers highest honours and later knocks the
bottom out of the native.
 Retrograde Saturn, if 5th lord, indicates sufferings due to progeny.
 Effects of slow moving retrogrades in transit are far more prominent than the
fast moving ones.
 Retrograde planets influences favourably the house, he occupies, aspects or
owns, in his dasha or in the dasha of its Nakshtra lord.
 Impact of Planetary aspect on Yoga
 The intensity of the influence depends as under:
 When the two planets aspects mutually each other, the related Influence is full.

 When one planet aspects the other, but does not get aspected in return, the
influence is not intense or the relationship is only half.
 When the aspecting & the aspected planet have more or less the same
longitude, their influence is the maximum.
 Dasha System
 The presence of various yogas in a horoscope, indicates the existence of a
promise which needs something else for fructification.

 The existence of a promise is the static aspect and the extent & timing of
fructification of the promise is its dynamic aspect.
 This dynamic aspect is shown by the dasha system in a horoscope.
 The dasha scheme is the wheel of time. It unfolds the promise inherent in a
horoscope. If the horoscope holds a big promise, but the appropriate dasha
does not operate at the right time, the promise is of no use. A chart may contain
yogas for great wealth and high status, but poor longevity or the concerned
planetary dasha operates in early childhood or very late in life, it does not
bestow the desired resuIts.
 The role of dasha scheme is to precipitate an event or fructify an inherent
promise at the appropriate time.
 Dasha System
 The Yogas in a horoscope are generally subservient to the dasha scheme except
Nabhas yogas who are operative during the entire period of life of a native.

 The Panch-Mahapurush Yogas also only partly depend upon the dasha system.
 The presents of potent yogas become meaningless in the absence of an
appropriate dasha.
 Equally so, an adverse/ arishta yoga present in the horoscope manifests only
during relevant dasha and not otherwise.
 The yogas fully fructify while the concerned planets are strong & unafflicted and
their depositors & Nakshtra lords are also strong & well placed.
 Dasha System
 Fruitification of Yogas during Dasha Period
 In such cases, the fructification is seen during the dasha of The periods of

planets forming the yoga, when they are not afflicted.
 The periods of planets posited in the house owned by Yogkaraka.
 The periods of planets associated with or aspectin the Yogkaraka.
 The periods of lords of Navamsha signs in which the Yoga causing planets are
posited.
 The periods of nodes if they happen to be in benefic houses free from malefic
association or aspect.

Yogas
The word "Raj yoga" literally means royal union, which means a yoga that gives happiness
like a king. These yogas are so called because they elevate the status of a native and bestow
on him name, fame, power, honour & happiness I ike that of a king.

Even the humblest of human being would at least like to avoid & shun disgrace & dishonour,
though he cannot achieve fame, recognition & position in the society. Only a handful of
people shoot up to brilliance, achieve power, fame & success in their respective fields.
According to astrology it is the Prarbdha/ luck denoted by 5th & 8th houses, which measure
the degree of success that one achieve in his/ her life
The Raj yogas are formed by the association of planets and the houses they rule.
According to Parashar, four Kendras/ angles (houses 1, 4, 7 & 10) are Vishnu-sthan (abode of
lord Vishnu), while three Trikones (houses1, 5 & 9) are Lakshmi-sthan (abode of Lakshmi, the
goddess of prosperity).
If a lord of Kendra establishes relationship with the lord of a Trikone, it leads to Raj yoga of
a very high order and is very auspicious throughout the life of a native.
Yogas
As per Uttara Kalamrita, when there is mutual relation between the planets
of following six groups, they form auspicious Raj yoga:
Planets in their exaltation, own houses, friend's house and Trikones (1,

5, & 9) houses.
Planets in Kendra (1, 4, 7 & 10) houses and Vargottam.
Planets aspected by or conjoined with benefics, and those that are
between benefics.
Planets posited in their Mooltrikone signs.
Planets moving towards their exaltation.
Those that own both a Kendra and a Trikone house.
Yogas
There are 25 Raj yogas of highest type.
There are over a hundred other Rajyogas. Thus it is seen that Raj yoga is
not a specific yoga.

The Raj yoga analysis includes:
1. Type of Raj yogas present
2. Number of Raj yogas present
3. Aspects on Raj yoga forming planets
4. Time of fructification,
5. Ways to utilize full impact of the Raj yoga.
Yogas
There are 11 Kendra-Trikone Yogas as under:
Lagna lord on one side and the lord of 4th, or 5th, or 7th, or 9th or 10th

house on other house (five combinations).
Lord of 4th house on one side and lord of 7th or 10th house on other side
(Two combinations).
Lord of 5th house on one side and lord of 7th or 10th house on other side
(Two combinations).
Lord of 7th house on one side and lord of 9th on other side.
Lord of 9th house on one side and lord of 10th on the other side.
Yogas
Out of the above, the best results are given by lords of 9th & 10th
(Dharma-karm-adhipati yoga),

followed by lord of lagna with 9th lord (Lagna-bhagy-adhipati Yoga) or
10th lord (Lagna-karm-adhipati Yoga).
Still better results are seen when these yogas occur in a Trikone/
Kendra.
These combinations are so important that it overcomes slight blemish
of lordship of 3, 6, or 8th house.
All the above combinations bestow auspicious results during their
dasha, antar-dasha or Pratyantar dasha periods.
Yogas
The native had Lagna lord Venus
with Yogkaraka (4-5th lord)

Saturn in 10th house (the best
Kendra) forming a great Raj yoga.
She was great singer of divine

vocal/ classic Karnatak music and
was awarded "Bharat Ratna" in
1998 during Saturn-Mercury for
her services to the music world.
Yogas
If three or more planets are in their exaltation/ own sign, it forms a
Rajyoga. Ex- Lord Rama

The stronger the planets, better will be the results.
16 different variations of Raj yoga may result when three or four
exalted planets in different Kendras and for different lagna are
considered
Lagna, 10th house or Moon when influenced by four or more planets

forms strong Raj yoga (there are 33 variants, each of lagna, 10th house &
Moon) giving powerful results
Combination for Power – Vipareeta Raja Yoga
Yogas
"Vipreet" is a Hindi word meaning contrary/ opposite.
In astrology 6th, 8th & 12th houses are considered the most evil in any chart. Their
lords normally spoil the Bhava wherever they are posited and planets, when posited

in these houses, spoil the significations of the houses whose lord they are. However,
in certain circumstances, contrary to this general concept, they manifest results as
good as Raj yogas.
As per Phaldeepika, any planet, if unafflicted, posited in own house is deemed good
& strong, even if the house is a Trika (6th, 8th, or 12th) house. Based on the concept
that two negatives make a positive statement, an evil lord in his own evil house,
when unafflicted, produces Raj yoga
Combination for Power – Vipareeta Raja Yoga- Types
Yogas
Harsha Yoga: An unafflicted 6th lord, when posited in 6th house produces Harsha
Yoga.
This yoga will give happiness, enjoyment, good fortune, life free from disease and strong

constitution.
The native will overcome enemies, and will be afraid to commit sinful acts. He will be
friend of illustrious people.
Sarala Yoga: An unafflicted 8th lord in 8th house produce Sarala Yoga.
The native with this yoga will be long lived, resolute, without fear, will have children &
riches, will achieve success, and will be pure & widely celebrated.
Vimal yoga: An unafflicted 12th lord in 12th house produce Vimal Yoga.
The native with this yoga, will spend little and save more.
He will be good to every body, will be happy, content, have respectable profession/
conduct and will be well known
Combination for Power – Vipareeta Raja Yoga- Example
Yogas
The native had 8th lord
Jupiter (R) in 8th house and
12th lord Moon in 12th house,

producing Sarala & Vimal
Yoga.
During the dasha of 12th lord
Moon from Sep '67 to Sep'77,
he enjoyed Raj yoga and was
chief minister of Haryana
twice and union cabinet
minister during emergency
1975- 77
Combination for Power – Vipareeta Raja Yoga- Types
Yogas
Uttar Kalamrita, Vipreet Raj yoga occur only when
6th lord occupies 8th or 12th house,
8th lord occupies 6th or 12th house

12th lord occupies 6th or 8th house.
• This yoga gives extremely benefic results during the dasha of planet forming the
Vipreet Raj yoga.
• The natives are self-made persons. The rise in their life is sudden, steep and unexpected.
• However they are known to take back what they give by the end of the dasha.
• The results of this yoga are name, fame, prosperity & royal favours.
• This yoga gives better results if lagna & its lord are strong and Trika lords are not
related to them.
• These yogas are not formed retro planets.
• This yoga is also get cancelled if planet forming this yoga is simultaneously
conjunct/Aspected by Malefic.
Combination for Power – Vipareeta Raja Yoga- Example Yogas
• The native is a famous
astrologer.
• He had 6th Lord Jupiter in 8th and

8th lord Saturn in 12th and 12th lord
Mercury in 6th
• Lagna not aspected by Trika
lords and Lagna lord is in Kendra.
• 12th Lord Mercury is associated
with Sun and 6th Lord is
associated with Jupiter in the
last degree, these two couldn’t
give best results. However, 8th
Lord Saturn Dasha was good.
Combination for Power – Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga
Yogas
“Neech" means debilitation, "Bhanga" means cancellation/breaking. So when a
Yoga, cancels the effects of debilitation of a planet, it forms a Raj yoga as good as
an exalted planet.

The debilitated planet and the planet who cancels the debilitation confer the results
of this yoga in their dasha/ Antar dash a in a sudden/ unexpected manner.
The debilitated planet or the planet cancelling the debilitation should not be in 6th,
8th or 12th house to get full benefit of this yoga.
Whenever the debility is cancelled in two or more ways, the benefic effects are very
strong. However as the name suggests, initially it does give some kind of trouble/
humiliation/ adverse results.
Yogas
Neech Bhang Rajyoga formed-
If the depositor of the debilitated planet is exalted.
For example Jupiter gets debilitated in Capricorn, if lord of Capricorn i.e. Saturn is

exalted, it cancels the debility of Jupiter.
If the debilitated planet is conjunct with an exalted planet.
For example, Venus is debilitated in Virgo, but if it is conjunct with Mercury who is
exalted here debility of Venus is cancelled.
The debilitated planet or its depositor is located in a Kendra from Lagna or Moon.
For example mercury is debilitated in Pisces, In following circumstances Neechabhang
Rajayoga happens -
-If the Lagna is Cancer, then, the dispositor of Mercury ie., Venus posited in Kendra
from lagna [Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, Aries Signs]
-If the Moon is in Leo, the dispositor of Mercury ie., Venus posited in Kendra from Moon
[Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Taurus Signs]
Yogas
Neech Bhang Rajyoga formed by:
The debilitated planet is aspected by its depositor.
For Example: Mars is debilitated in Cancer, If the debilitated Mars aspected by its

despositor Moon from Capricorn. Then debilitation cancels.
If the lord of debilitation sign and the lord of exaltation sign are in mutual aspect,
the debilitation is cancelled.
For example, Moon the ruler of Cancer, where Mars gets debilitated, and Saturn, the
lord of Capricorn where Mars is exalted, are in Kendra from each other or have mutual
aspect, the debilitation of Mars is cancelled.
The debilitated planet is exalted in Navamsha.

For Example, Sun debilitated in Saturn. If in Navamsha if he is exalted, it causes Neecha
bhang Raja yoga.
Yogas
Neech Bhang Rajyoga formed by:
The lords of the debilitation sign of the planet and lord of the exaltation sign of the
planet are in mutual Kendra.

The lord of the sign in which the planet is debilitated and the lord of exaltation sign
are in trine to lagna or Moon.
The debilitated planet is aspected by another debilitated planet.
The Nakshtra lord of the debilitated planet is in exaltation/ own sign

Yogas
The native is queen of Britain since 6Feb
1952.

She has debilitated Jupiter in her lagna.
However the debility of Jupiter is
cancelled in four ways.
• Jupiter himself is posited in Lagna.
• He is associated with Mars, the
exaltation lord of Capricorn.
• He is aspected by his depositor
Saturn, which is in Trikona from
Moon.
• Hence Jupiter became extra strong to
give her Raj yoga. The Jupiter aspects
5th & 8th house.
She is the longest serving crown and
enjoying her family life with her husband
& children.
Combination for Power – Maha Raja Yoga
Yogas
Maha Rajyoga forms if the following conditions are full filled:
 Lord of the 1st house being conjoined to, or in exchange with the lord of

the 5th house in either the 1st house or the 5th house.
This is known as Maharaj Yoga and has a reputation for bestowing
success, greatness, popularity, happiness and even great wealth, all
things considered.
Lord of first House
The first house, or lagna, is considered to be the most pivotal house in the
horoscope, having as it does, attributes of both the trikona (1,5,9) houses
and the kendra (1,4,7,10) houses.
It has rulership over the physical body, particularly the head and brain; the
limbs, one’s happiness or lack thereof; strength, dignity, longevity,
appearance, self respect, honour, charisma and how one relates to the
world at large.
Yogas
Maha Rajyoga forms if the following conditions are full filled:
Lord of 5 House

The second component to make up the Maharaj Yoga is the 5th house/5th
lord. The 5th house holds sway over one’s level of intelligence; the mind,
educational awards, creative and procreative potential, the employment
of mantras for specific ends, literary scholarship, authority to rule.
 The 5th is a very fortunate house, known – along with houses I and 9 – as
a “Lakshmi Sthana”, or ‘place of good fortune’.
Lakshmi is the wife and consort of Lord Vishnu and is the Hindu goddess
of wealth, good fortune and prosperity, all of which are potentials
inherent in the 5th house. The 5th is also the house of “Purva Punya” – the
place of past life credit.
Yogas

Combination for Power – Akhand Samrajya Yoga Yogas
This yoga is formed when Jupiter is strongly placed and at least one of the lords of
2nd, 9th, 10th, or 11 th is posited in a Kendra from Moon.
The native with this yoga has a legendary rise in his financial status in later half of his

life, there after his position remains undisturbed and he leads a long & fortunate life
• The native has a strong Lagnesh Jupiter posited in
10th house.
• He also has 2nd lord Saturn and 9th lord Sun in
Kendra from Moon with Moon strong both in
Pakshbala & Digbala. Thus Akhand sarajya yoga is
formed.
• He had a humble beginning. He was born &
initially brought up at Shantiniketan in Kolkata. He
worked as professor of economics at jadavpur
and at Delhi University.
• In 1971, he joined school of Economics, London
and later returned to trinity college He aws
awarded Noble Prize for Economics in 1998 and
"Bharat Ratna" in 1999.
• Today he enjoy a very eminent and wealthy
position in international society.
Combination for Power – Maha Bhagya Yoga Yogas
This is another rare Rajyoga, which manifest through out life regardless of dasha
sequence.
The "Mahabhagya" is a Hindi word, which means great fortune.

The lagna, Sun and Moon represent the body, soul and mind respectively.
Thus they are the three critical pivotal points, around which the life of any native
revolves. Odd signs are masculine signs, while even signs are female signs.
Odd/masculine signs are strong in day time, and even/ female signs are strong.
Often we find a mixture of masculine and feminine qualities in any chart.
Definition: The formation of this yoga has different criteria for male and female
natives.
For Male natives:
The birth should be of day time (from sunrise to sunset).
The Sun & Moon should be posited in odd signs.
For Female natives:
The birth should be of night time (from sunset to sunrise).
The Sun & Moon should be posited in even signs
Results:
One born in yoga is pleasant to look at, liberal widely renowned, wealthy, a pleasure
to others, generous, of blameless character, lord of lands, a king or equivalent to king

and lives to a good old age.
A female born with this yoga will possess all feminine qualities & virtues, grace, good
fortune, good character, wealth, and good children.

Combination for Power – Dharma Karmadhipathi Yoga Yogas
Lagna, 10th house or Moon when influenced by four or more planets forms
strong Raj yoga (there are 33 variants, 11each of lagna, 10th house & Moon)
giving powerful results. The native had lagna occupied by 9th

lord Sun & 10th lord Mercury
(Dharma-Karmadhipati yoga) and
11th lord Venus.
Lagna is also aspected by 5th lord
Mars from 10th house and by Ketu
from 9th house. Lagna lord Jupiter
associated with Saturn, aspects 10th
house. This produces strong Raj
yoga during dasha of Mercury-
Saturn, when he was first Home
Minister and later Prime minister of
India, though for a short duration
only.
Combination for Power – Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga Yogas
All these yogas are formed by position of planets and are not related to their
lordships.
This literally means combination of five great men. This is not a specific yoga,

but is a group of five different yogas, one each for Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus
and Saturn.
All our actions are effective through our sense organs only. The planets
representing our senses are given prominence here.
Mars represents the sense of sight, Mercury, the sense of smell, Jupiter, the
sense of hearing, Venus the sense of taste and Saturn represents the sense of
touch. Hence these five planets are considered for conferring the Panch
Mahapurush Yoga.
The Kendra houses are pillars of strength for any horoscope. It is therefore
natural that the Panch Mahapurush yogas are formed when these planets (Mars
to Saturn) occupy a Kendra house in their own/ exaltation sign.
Combination for Power – Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga Yogas
If Sun or waning Moon (less than 72 degree away from Sun) joins the planet
causing one of these Mahapurush yogas, one does not get the fruits of these
yogas.

If Sun also occupies a Kendra from Mahapurush yoga causing planet, or it
combines with them, it may cause great upheaval in the life of the native.
A waxing Moon on the other hand enhances the significations of the planet
causing the yoga.
The Rahu/ Ketu by their close conjunction/ aspect invariably spoil the
significations of the Yoga.
Again at times two exalted planets causing Mahapurush Yoga are in mutual
aspect. For example Mars and Jupiter may simultaneously be exalted causing
Ruchika & Hamsa yoga or Sun and Saturn may simultaneously be exalted
(though Sun does not confer Mahapurush Yoga), the Mahapurush yogas will not
deliver expected results.
Combination for Power – Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga-Ruchika Yoga Yogas
Ruchika Yoga
This yoga is formed when Mars, or in Mool trikona house, exalted (in Capricorn)
or in its own signs (Aries/ Scorpio) is located in a Kendra

Mars is the strength of Kaal Purush, and hence instill in the native
courage,capacity for valour, adventure & dominance, youthfulenergy, victory
over foes.
One born in Ruchika Yoga is good looking, a prominent face, and darkish
complexion.
He is bold & courageous, fuII of strength & vigour, of royal bearing, ever intent
on combat, pursues adventurous activities, commander of an army or leader of a
group and annihilator of his enemies.
However Mars is a malefic planet with Tamsik nature. These qualities give him a
distinct character, name & fame
Ruchika Yoga
Ruchika Yoga confers on the native a capacity for discrimination, devotion to elders &
preceptors and is an expert on Mantras/ magic spells directed at his enemies to kill/
subjugate them.

He is prone to injuries and bears on his body scars from fire, injuries or surgical
operations.
He lives a long life of about 70years and is wealthy & prosperous with lands, sibling &
vehicles.
Ruchika yoga is nullified or reduced considerably if;
Saturn and Mars are mutually aspecting.
The Moon and Mars are in 6-8 position from each other.
The Mars & Mercury are in 6-8 position from each other.
Rahu is conjunct with Mars.
The Mars is combust or in Paapkaratari yoga.
If Mars transits shravan or 2nd & 3rd padas of Anuradha.
• The native was military chief and
President of Pakistan.
• He has apparently two

Mahapurush Yoga in his chart.
• Exalted Jupiter is in lagna causing
yoga and Mars in his
• Mooltrikone sign in 1Oth house

• The Hamsa yoga is non-
operational because Jupiter is
• associated with Sun & Rahu and is
aspected by Mars.
• Mars is Yogkaraka planet for Cancer lagna and its placing in 10th house causing Ruchika yoga
conferred on the native an excellent army career.
• The debilitation of Lagna lord Moon is doubly cancelled by Mars and by Mercury & Venus
posited in Kendra from Moon. He became Moon dasha he became army chief and later took
over power of Pakistan through a military coup. He ruled Pakistan with full control during entire
dasha of Mars.
Combination for Power – Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga-Bhadra Yoga Yogas
Bhadra Yoga
The Bhadra yoga is formed when Mercury, exalted (in Virgo) or in its own sign
(Gemini), is located in a Kendra house.

This yoga can arise only in a dual sign lagna and cannot be in a movable/ fixed
lagna. Mercury is the only planet to get exaltation in his own sign. Both Mercury
& its Mooltrikone/ exaltation sign are of Earthy Tatwa, and he represenets
speech of the Kaal Purush.
The Bhadra yoga manifests the significations of Mercury as a planet and as lord
of Gemini & Virgo sign for the benefit of the native.
The two signs of Mercury are on either side of the two luminaries and Mercury
himself is never more than 28 degrees away from Sun.
Hence it has retained most of the royal qualities & Satwik nature and is often
called the "Royal Prince" with a youngish and attractive appearance with
fondness for fun.

Hamsa Yoga
This yoga is formed when Jupiter in exaltation (in Cancer) or in his own signs
(Sagittarius or Pisces) is located in a Kendra.

This yoga can arise in Movable or dual lagna, but not in a fixed lagna.

He is bold, courageous, virtuous like a king or his close minister and has a thirst
for knowledge & scriptures. He is blessed with long life, lot of grace & dignity,
riches, beautiful wife, good children, friends, and all types of material comforts.
Normally ownership of Kendra by Jupiter, spoils his benefic nature due to
Kendradhipati Dash.
But if Hamsa yoga is present, the general principle loses its importance.
This yoga is famous for producing people of immense moral values and sterling
character. There is no harm even if Jupiter is retrograde.
Hamsa Yoga
The effect of Hamsa yoga is nullified or vastly reduced in resuIts if:
Moon is in 6-8 position from Jupiter (Sakata yoga).

There exists malefic Kaal Sarpa yoga.
Jupiter is in close conjunction with Venus whether in planetary war or not.

Combination for Power – Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga- Malavya Yoga Yogas
Malavya Yoga
This yoga is formed when Venus exalted (in Pisces), or in its own sign (Taurus/
Libra) is located in a Kendra house.

This yoga is possible in all signs. The significations of Venus are fully reflected in
natives with Malavya Yoga. Venus is the planet for sensual desires & comforts of
Kaal Purush.

personality, passions, genital organs, semen, urine, happiness, luxuries, comforts &
vehicles, wealth, properties, apparels, jewelary, dance, music, fine art, theatres,
sciences, eyesight and addictions of various types.

The native is resolute and immensely rich with material comforts gain precedence
over spiritual advancement.
A females has extra attraction for costly & beautiful apparels and jewellery.
Malavya Yoga
Venus is a good natural benefic planet.
Hence its owning Kendra house should attract Kendradhipati Dosha but it lose its

meaning when Venus occupies Kendra for Malavya yoga.
This yoga can take place in all lagnas. However their results are grouped under
following three categories:
Most favourable results are conferred under Capricorn, & Aquarius lagna for
Venus is Yogkaraka here and in Pisces, because Venus gets exalted here.
Least favorable results are expected in Taurus, Scorpio lagna because the
Moola trikona sign of Venus is a Trika [6th,12]house and in Virgo lagna
because exaltation sign is Bhadaka and Marka
Other lagnas produces moderate results
Malavya Yoga
The results of Malavya Yoga is greatly reduced or nullified if-
Ketu Conjuncts Venus

Mars in Ruchika Yoga and in Mutual Aspect
Mars is in conjunct with Venus.
Saturn is in Sasa Yoga and Conjunct.
Conjunctions and close aspect of Rahu cause pervert results

During dasha of Venus from Jun
1964- '84, he had the best of time.

He had enormous influence on Ms
Indira Gandhi, the then Primeminister
and enjoyed all possible comforts of
life.
Association of 8th lord Moon, caused
him to break all "Maryada" of Yog
Sadhna for fulfillment of his
materialistic/ sensual desires.
So after Venus dasha, his fame faded
out soon and during dasha of Moon, he
died mysteriously in a helicopter crash.
Combination for Power – Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga- Sasa Yoga Yogas
Sasa Yoga
This Yoga is given rise to when Saturn occupies a Kendra, which should be his own
(Capricorn/ Aquarius) or exaltation (Libra) sign.

Birth in movable/ fixed signs can confer this Yoga by a certain disposition of Saturn;
but dual signs are exempt.
Saturn's inherent nature plays a dominant role in conferring this yoga. Saturn is the
miseries of Kaal Purush.
Saturn is cruel, lazy, undignified, sinful, fault finding, vindictive, delay causing. He is
hard boiled, industrious and of prodding nature.
He is responsible for welfare of masses, deep thinking, mysteries, research. Ill
health, poverty, sorrow, degradation, humiliation, self sacrifice and renunciation.
He represents longevity, reproach, sin, misfortune, servitude, loneliness,
agriculture, factories, jail and captivity.
As per jatak Paarijat, Saturn is strong in all signs when retrograde.
Sasa Yoga

with a slow but regular gait.

He has dark complexion, roving eyes, competent, learned, keen to find fault of
others, but devoted to mother.
He loves working hard for long hours, in agriculture or factories and roams around
in jungles/ hills. He is famous, king, minister, powerful, a natural leader of masses,
workers or nomads, but with perverse sexual outlook and employing any
unscrupulous means to gain other's wife and wealth.
When Saturn is exalted he may have many servants and be head of a town/ state
When he is free from affliction from other planets, he confers really good results.
He isadept in metallurgy, science of chemicals and occultsciences.
There is physical enjoyment but physical suffering as well.
Sasa Yoga
The Caner & Leo lagna produce the least benefic results for in Cancer, Saturn is 8th
lord; in Leo, Saturn as 6-7th lord in 7 th house is a Marak and detrimental to family

life.
Taurus, Libra & Aquarius confers most auspicious results,for Taurus & Libra, Saturn
is Yogkaraka,
In Libra it gets exalted and Aquarius, it produces great saints & Noble persons
Aries, scorpio & Capricorn lagna gives moderate resuIts only.
The Sasa yoga loses its good resuIts if:
It is associated or is in mutual aspect with Sun.
Saturn is weakened due to combustion, or association with Sth lord.
Exalted Venus joins exalted Saturn in Libra.
Afflicted or weak Moon joins this Yoga.

Combination for Power – Gaja Kesari Yoga Yogas
This is one of the most powerful & dignified Raj (royal) and Dhan (wealth) Yoga,
which would not allow a native to suffer or profligate.
In regard to efficacy to prevent evils, this yoga has been found to work with

amazing results.
The term "Gajkesari" is a twin Hindi word meaning an elephant & a lion, both
nature's most impressive creatures and giants among animals.
This yoga is supposed to confer on the native the vigour of a lion, yet the solemnity
of an elephant.
It might also mean the capability to ride a lion and an elephant, suggestive of
excessive strength and a very high status.
This yoga is said to confer when Jupiter occupies a Kendra (1, 4, 7 or 10th) position
in relation to the Moon.
This is a standard definition, although some classics differ slightly here and there

As per Jatak Parijat, if the Moon is aspected by the remaining benefics (Mercury,
Jupiter & Venus) and if these participants are neither debilitated nor combust, nor
in enemy house, the resulting yoga is again referred to as Gajkesari yoga.
Sage Parashar consider that this yoga forms if Jupiter is in a Kendra from the Moon
or the lagna.
An added stipulation is that such a Jupiter should be aspected by or associated with
benefics and be not combust or debilitated or placed in 6th house.
To this one may add that Jupiter should not be retrograde or aspected by a malefic.
This yoga is peculiar since two natural benefics are participants under benefic cover
This is a very powerful yoga and makes the native wealthy, prosperous, learned,
intelligent, illustrious, virtuous, happy, long lived, with sterling qualities, liked by
the king and his men and enjoys lasting fame.

It is very rare that all good significant effects of Jupiter and Moon pertaining to this
yoga are realized.
If wealth & comforts are to be enhanced as an effect of this yoga, then progeny &
perception will become less.

INDU LAGNA – Dhana Yoga
How to calculate and find out the Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna (Wealth Ascendant):
Values assigned to the planets are mentioned below:
Planet Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn

Value 30 16 6 8 10 12 1
**The planets Rahu and Ketu are not used in this calculation.
 9th House from lagna and note down the value.
 9th House from Moon and note down the value
 Add both values; & divide by 12 and note down the remainder, which will be between 0 to 11.
 Count the Remainder from the position of the Moon; and the house identified will be the Indu Lagna or
Dhana Lagna or Wealth Ascendant.
 If the remainder is zero, the house/sign falling in the twelfth house from the Moon Or the previous house
from the natal Moon’s position will be considered as Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna or Wealth Ascendant.
 If the remainder is one, the house/sign occupied by the Moon will be considered as Indu Lagna or Dhana
Lagna or Wealth Ascendant.
For your convenience and better understanding; let us do the calculation for one example horoscope,
which belongs to famous celebrity Shahrukh Khan.
Native is born in Simha Lagna, 9th house is ruled by Mars. The
value assigned to Mars is 6.
From Moon 9th house is ruled by Mercury; and, the value
assigned to Mercury is 8.
8 + 6 = 14/12. Remainder is 2
Indu Lagna_Dhana Lagna_Wealth Ascendant is Kumba (2nd
house from Moon)
Counting two positions from the Moon gives Aquarius zodiac
(Kumbha Rashi); which will be the Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna
or Wealth Ascendant for Shahrukh Khan’s horoscope.
After ascertaining the Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna; the next

step is to analyze it. As the name suggests, Dhana Lagna or
Wealth Ascendant is meant for analyzing the financial
prospects of a horoscope. The basic rules, in this regard, are
as under:
 The planets placed in the first, second, fourth, seventh, tenth and eleventh houses of Indu
Lagna or Dhana Lagna are told to be the giver of wealth and financial gains to the native.
 The planets having their aspect on the first house of Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna are also
considered to be supportive for generating financial gains for the native.
 Debilitated, weak or malefic planets, in the above situation, are considered to be the
destroyer of wealth. However, if such malefic planet is exalted or otherwise strong and/or
receiving auspicious planetary influences; it can also generate financial gains.
 Planets disposed in third, sixth, eighth and twelfth houses from the Indu Lagna or Dhana
Lagna are considered to be inauspicious for wealth and financial prospects of the
horoscope.
 The results of these planets are experienced during their Dasa and/or Antardasa and in
accordance with their strength and disposition.
In the example horoscope Saturn, Rahu, Mars, Mercury, Ketu and Venus are considered to be giver
of wealth. Besides this, Jupiter should also be considered as such it is having its aspect on the first
house (Aquarius/Kumbha) of Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna.
Limitations : It does not consider Navamsha or other divisional charts; due to which it can generate
similar and/or wrong conclusions for more than one person.
Confusions may also be there in correlating the results of Lagna Chart with Indu Lagna or Dhana
Lagna.
During the Mahadasa of Jupiter (April 1992 to April 2008), the native enjoyed good amount of
wealth and money. As per the Lagna Chart, Jupiter in 11th house is auspicious and supportive for
financial gains and fame.
How to decide which chart (Lagna Chart or Indu Lagna Chart) is dependable and/or responsible for
this aspect? Besides this, the Lagna Chart remains operational for around two hours; and, the Moon
remains in one zodiac sign for around 54 hours. And, that can generate very similar results for
people taking birth during the same Lagna within those 54 hours.

• Combination Arista Yoga
Arista Yoga is a major group of yoga formed by the house rulerships.

This is basically the yoga of suffering and misfortune.
Usually the suffering is physical, but could be mental also at times.
The combination of the rulers of the most difficult (Trika or Dusthana-6,
8 & 12th) houses are combined with the ruler of the other auspicious
houses, this brings the suffering to the individual. Again any
combination of these house rulers would constitute Arista Yoga.
These combinations nullify auspicious results and produce hardships.
Sometimes, through our suffering spirituality may also sprout.
Therefore this yoga will produce generally sufferings, but at times
generates spiritual opportunities as well

These Yogas lead to penury & sufferings. Poverty is the greatest curse,
greater than any suffering/ illness or even death.

When lagna, 9th or lOth house or their lords are weak & afflicted, native
faces all varieties of problems and lead a wretched life.
Association of lords of Trika houses or other inauspicious houses like 3rd,
2nd or 7th house, makes the life more unpalatable.
 Persons born in Daridra Yoga suffer deprivations of different intensities
and meet unlucky and trying conditions of life.
They earn by foul means. Their social life is dishonourable. They meet
unexpected failures in life.

Sankhya Yoga
Yogas
 There are Seven Sankhya yo gas as per classics.
They depend upon the number of houses over which

the seven planets are distributed in a given chart.
According to Parashar, none of these seven (except
Gala) yogas will be effective if other Nabhas yogas are
present.
The more the spread of planets in a horoscope, the
more balanced & prosperous the native would be. As
against this if the planets are crowded in a few houses,
no doubt such houses will gain strength but it will be
at the expense of otherhouses.
Sankhya Yoga – 1. Gola Yoga
Yogas
 Gola Yoga: If all the seven planets are confined to one house/
sign only, this yoga is formed.
This yoga is not easy to find in normal horoscopes. However in

India, natives born on or about4/ 5 Feb 1962, had all the seven
planets plus Ketu in Capricorn sign.
It causes a lot of imbalance in the horoscope.
Some of the planets may be combust or involved in planetary
war.
For the prediction, one has to rely on divisional charts. The
results will also be modified as per the house where this sign
falls.
However generally, natives with such a yoga are illiterate,
destitute, poor, of mean mentality, wicked, miserable and ever
wandering aimlessly.
Sankhya Yoga – 2. Yuga/Yugala Yoga
Yogas
 Yuga/ Yugal Yoga: It means in Hindi, pair of two.
If all the planets are placed in any two signs of the
horoscope, this yoga is formed.

Its results are modified by the mutual relationship between
the two houses where the signs fall and their specific
characteristics of the houses.
It is worst if the two are in 6/ 8 positions and the best if
they are in 5/ 9 position.
However this yoga indicates that the native is generally
poor, heretic, shameless, socially rejected, bereft of logic,
devoid of love & support of parents, and of virtues.
But see an exceptional favourable case.
Sankhya Yoga – 1. Yuga/Yugala Yoga
Yogas
This is a typical chart wherein six planets
and Ketu are placed in 3rd house
(Capricorn sign) with only Moon straying

into 11th house.
The two houses are in 5/ 9 position and
both Sun & Moon lagna are very strong.
The only flaw is that the six planets are in
Rahu Ketu axis.
The native is a lady doctor who is running
a private nursing home with her illustrious
doctor husband in Delhi.
She did her MBBS in 1984 and got married
in J an1987.
On 22Nov 1990, the couple met with a
serious road accident (during RahuKetu
dasha) when her husband broke his chest
ribs while she lost her vision in left eye.
Luckily both of them recovered well and
are now a billionaire doctors.
Sankhya Yoga – 3. Shool Yoga
Yogas
 Shool (Thorn) Yoga: If all the planets are placed in any
three signs in a horoscope, this yoga is formed.

The native with this yoga are of quarrelsome nature, harsh
speech, hot tempered, cruel, generally work in some force.
At times they become so impulsive & assertive that they
become a Shoo/ or thorn in the flesh of others.
The native may have sudden/ unexpected rise, a spectacular
achievement and an equally sudden fall.
For example, please refer Chart No 4 of Adolf Hitler; may
also see case of shri Rajiv Gandhi or Michael Jackson.
Sankhya Yoga – 4. Kedar Yoga
Yogas
 Kedar Yoga: This yoga is formed when all the planets
occupy any four signs/ houses.

A native with this yoga is will be rich, religious
minded, charitable, and always willing to help others.
He will have agricultural land or may be associated
with agricultural pursuits.
He is not over ambitious and capable of taking both
physical and metaphysical view of life.
Sankhya Yoga – 5. Paasha Yoga
Yogas
 Paasha (bondage) Yoga: When all planets are
distributed over five signs/ houses, this yoga is formed.

One born with this yoga has a large family to support.
He is adept in work, skillful in earning easy money,
crafty, impolite, and has many drawbacks.
He generally works in police or some other public
dealing office.
He indulges in many worldly activities and creates for
himself a bondage in spiritual sense.
Yogas
 Daamini Yoga: This yoga is formed when all planets
are distributed over six signs/ houses.

This is a very fair distribution of energy within a
horoscope provided the houses involved are not evil.
Such a native is active, attains fame & prosperity,
virtuous, charitable and will have spiritual inclinations.
For example, please refer Chart No. 3 of S.
Ramanujam.
Yogas
 Veena Yoga: This yoga is formed if all the seven
planets are spread over any seven signs/ yogas.

It gives excellent results if Trikone houses are
included and Trika houses are avoided.
Such a natives are rich, virtuous, learned, skillful, fond
of fine arts & music, looks after sustenance of many
and are shrewd political leaders.
Yogas
The native was ex-Maharaja of Gwalior: He
had seven planets in seven houses. He was
royal, learned, charitable, popular, elected to

Parliament nine times, was union
Cabinet minister, and fond of music & sports.
However the position of planets was not
ideal.
He had one planet each in 3rct, 6 th & Sth
house and no planet in lagna & gth
house.
He had g th lord Moon conjunct with Ketu in
2nd house and Saturn associated with Rahu in
s th house.
This reduced his life considerably.
Vasumathi Yoga
Yogas
 Vasumati Yoga; If benefic planets Jupiter, Venus and Mercury
(Unafflicted) occupy Upchaya (3rd, 6th, l0th & 11th)houses from lagna or
the Moon, this yoga is formed.

The native will never be dependant on others, and will alwayshave
plenty of wealth and prosperity.
This yoga is primarily for wealth.
If the benefics are in exaltation, the yoga becomes extremely powerful.
Since the benefic planets are only three, all the four Upchaya houses
can never be occupied.
Malefics could be placed in 6th or 11th house to give good results.
The native was a great industrialist of India.

KaalSarpa Yoga
This yoga is said to be formed if all the planets are hemmed
between Rahu and Ketu. It is said to result in destruction of

rulers and the native suffers in general scheme of life.
Strictly speaking, this yoga does not find a mention in
classic astrological literature. How this yoga gained
currency and gathered such a sinister meaning is not
known.
According to a large section of astrologers, this yoga is
operative only when all the planets are hemmed between
Rahu & Ketu in their retrograde motion and does not hold
good if the planets are between Ketu and Rahu.

bring setbacks in life.
If any of the planet is outside this axis or even if any planet, though posited in the

same house as the node, is outside the axis longitudinally, this yoga is not
operative.
However, experience suggests that though such natives do suffer in only some
specific sphere of life, they excel in other fields.
While interpreting Kaal Sarpa Yoga, we should consider which houses are
occupied by Rahu & Ketu.
In each case the results are likely to be different.
Generally it is seen that if the axis involves 1st & 7th houses, it is not good for
marital happiness.
The marital life may become oppressive and marred by frequent clashes and want
of understanding.
But if 7th lord & Venus are well-placed, then evil results should not be predicted.
If the houses involved are 4th & 10th houses, it may cause set-backs in one's
career & domestic happiness, unless 10 th/ 4th house and its lord & karaka are
well placed.

Similarly if this yoga is in 5th & 12th axis, it could indicate incarceration or
spiritual elevation, depending upon the presence/ absence of powerful
Bandhan yoga.

This yoga has its brighter shades as well.
It makes the native industrious, hard-working, and aware of his ability
despite mental restlessness. (Please refer chart no. 87 of Nelson
Mandela) The natives under this yoga may get
betrayed by trusted friends and relations. This knowledge & experience
make his mind strong and mellows his
outlook. This yoga may raise the native to the top position in their
specific field of choosing, provided good Rajyogas
are present. It is also by and large agreed that if lagna,
Moon, gth & lOth lords are strong, the evil effects of this yoga are
mitigated to a large extent.

of Italy during World War II. He had
Rahu-Ketu axis in 12th & 6th houses

house. Association of Mars &
Saturn with Moon in 7th house of
War, made him aggressive partner
of the Axis forces. He became head

About Divisional Chart Divisional Chart
• A divisional chart/ Varga is another unique concept of Vedic astrology and holds
the key to predictions and analyzing a horoscope for deeper analysis.
• They help in assessing the true strength of a planet related with the house and
to see the impact of planetary inter-play to ascertain their influence in

microscopic study of a specific aspect of human life.
• The ascendant of the relevant Varga refers in essence to the matter that it
represents.
• If the lagna of the divisional chart happens to be a Mooltrikone sign or the same
as in birth chart, its lord becomes main determinant of the concerned field.
• A divisional chart can be analyzed independently for the purpose it is cast, but it
is prudent to study it as a complementary/ supplementary chart to the birth
chart.
• Sage Parashar has suggested Shodasvargas (16 important divisional charts). Each
Varga is an extension of a particular house and gives its microscopic view.
• Out of these at least two of the most important Drekkana (D-3) & Navamsha (D-
9) - which deals with general nature of a native and strength of a planet, should
be studied in details.
About Divisional Chart Divisional Chart
Utility of D-Charts
• Basically Vargas are studied for two purposes- firstly the D- charts are studied to
identify, confirm, modify or elaborate the results of a particular aspect of life by
studying the corresponding D-chart along with the concerned house of the Rasi

chart.
• Secondly we study them to measure the true strength of planets as only strong
planets are capable of giving good results.
• The weak planets not only fail to deliver results of their significations but also
spoil the results of the Bhava where they are placed or over which they transit.
• Planets occupying benefic positions e.g. exaltation, Mooltrikone, own sign or
sign of his friend, in different Vargas become strong and would give good
results.
• On the other hand if a planet is debilitated, in enemy's sign, combust, defeated
or other wise weak, it should be treated as malefic.
• The strength of a planet is measured on a scale of 20 (Vimsopaka) by occupying
continuously benefic position as above.

Navamsha & its importance
Navamsha & its importance Divisional Chart
• Navamsha is the most important Varga in the Shodas-varga system of
Sage Parashar.
• Much of the credit of success of Vedic astrology goes to Navamsha.

• Most of the astrological savants have given it equal or even more
importance than birth chart.
• A planet exalted in birth chart, but debilitated in Navamsha is of no
use; while a planet debilitated in birth chart, but exalted in Navamsha
may give good results.
• As per Mansagri & Devakerlam, all aspects of life can be gleaned
through Navamsha.
• Usually the birth chart & Navamsha are tagged together for proper
delineation.
• While birth chart indicates basic promises in one's life, Navamsha
denotes fructification of those promises for which blessings or
Almighty are the Navamsha
Navamsha & its importance Divisional Chart
• Lagnesh and position of the ascendant Moon (whichever is strong) is
of vital importance.
• Kendra/ Trikones in a Navamsha are always benevolent, but malefics

posited in Trikones to a particular damage the promise of that Kendra.
• As the name suggest it is 1/9th division of a sign, equivalent to spread
of quarter of a Nakshtra and is extension of 9th house of Dharma &
luck. It also denotes-
• All aspects of marriage, spouse & marital relations

• Relative strength of ascendant & all planets.
• Karkamsha chart, taking Navamsha sign of Atmakaraka as lagna
• Timing & mode of death.
• Rasi tulya Navamsha & Navamsha tulya Rasi.
Construction of Navamsha Chart Divisional Chart
• The first Navamsha of a Fiery sign (Aries, Leo or Sagittarius) begins with
Aries[from same sign];
• The first Navamsha of an Earthy sign (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) begins with

Capricorn;
• The first Navamsha of an Airy sign (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) begins with
Libra; The first Navamsha of a Watery sign (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) begins
with Cancer.
Alternately same results will be obtained if counting of Navamsha parts in case

of-
-Movable signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn) start with the sign itself;
-Dual/common signs (Gemini, Virgo Sagittarius or Pisces) start from the 5th
sign
-Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius) star from the 9th sign from
itself.
More about Navamsha Divisional Chart
• Each Navamsha represents a spread of 3⁰26', which is equivalent of one quarter, charan or pada of
Nakshtra.
 1st pada of a Nakshtra indicate Dharma/ religion & fiery Tatwa;
 2nd pada denote finance (Artha) & earthy Tatwa;

 3rd denotes love & desires (Kama) & airy Tatwa;
 4th denotes liberation (Moksha) & watery Tatwa.
Classifications of Navamsha-
1. Nature of natives-
• This is primarily used for matching horoscopes for matrimonial/ partnership deals.
• If Moon is placed in 1st, 4th or 7th part of a sign [Amsha], it is Dev or divine, denoting one supposed to
be virtuous, wealthy, generous, respectable, pious & religious.
• If Moon is in 2nd 5th or 8th part of a sign [Amsha], it is Nar or human denoting one to be social,
truthful, sincere, hardworking, powerful, willing to help & serve others.
• If Moon is in 3rd, 6th or 9th part of a sign [Amsha], it is Rakshas or devil denoting one to be cruel,
wicked, greedy, sinful, envious, stupid & adulterous.
• Similarly 88th Navamsha, counted from the Moon of the bridegroom should not be Navamsha
occupied by bride's Moon; or 108th Navamsha counted from the Moon of the bride, should not be
occupied by the Moon of the groom.
More about Navamsha Divisional Chart
Vargottam-
• All classics have accepted the importance of a Vargottam planet/ lagna.
• Vargottam planet is one which occupies same sign in birth chart as well as in
Navamsha, meaning thereby that the dispositor in either case is the same planet.

• Consequently such a dispositor has lasting impact.
• It makes the native leader in the class/ activity, which he belong to.
• Much importance is given to Vargottam-lagna and Vargottam Moon.
• The first Navamsha in a movable sign, middle (5th) Navamsha in a fixed sign and
the last (9th) Navamsha in a dual sign are known as Vargottam.
• However the results of all Vargottam planets cannot be the same.
• They have a wide spectrum of results varying from Uchha-Vargottam (say
Vargottam Sun in Aries) to Neech-Vargottam (say Vargottam Saturn in Aries).
Planets-Sun to Saturn- are Uchha Vargothama in Aries, Taurus, Capricorn,Virgo,
Cancer, Pisces and Libra respectively.
Vargothama Continued.. Divisional Chart
• In between there are Swakshetra Vargottam, Shubh-Vargottham ,Paap-
Vagottam, Chara-Vargottam, Sthira-vargotam, Dwiswabhava Vargottam,
Dharma-vargottam, Artha-Vargottam, Kaam-Vargotham, & Moksha-Vargotham

giving results as suggested by their names.
• However Rahu in Taurus/ 2nd house is Vargottam and denotes that native's
son will be in grip of debts.
• A Vargottam planet in any house With more than 30 bindus enhances the good
results of the house to the greatest possible extent, in proportion to the
higher number of bindus.
• Quite reverse will be the case when Vargottam planet is associated with less
number of bindus.
Pushkar-Navamsha Divisional Chart
• The term "Pushkar" means anything which nourishing, fosters, rears,
nurtures, supports, augments, promotes, enhances or washes away
weakness of anything.

 In Fiery signs (Aries, Leo & Sagittarius), the 7th Navamsha (Libra), & 9th
Navamsha (Sagittarius);
 In Earthy signs (Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn), 3rd Navamsha (Pisces) & 5th
Navamsha (Taurus);
 In Airy signs (Gemini) , 6th Navamsha (Pisces) & 8th Navamsha (Taurus)
 In Watery signs (Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces), 1st Navamsha (Cancer) & 3rd
Navamsha (Virgo) are called Pushkar Navamsha.
• Each signs has two Pushkar-Navamsha or the zodiac has 24 such Navamsha.
• They are all benefic Navamsha owned by benefic planets and produce
auspicious results in natal, horary, Mahurat and other matters.
Pushkara Navamsha /Pushkaramsha Divisional Chart
• Out of the 24, three Pushkar Navamsha are Vargottam
 Taurus Navamsha (5th one),
 Cancer Navamsha (1st one)
 Sagittarius-Navamsha (9th one).

• Any planet posited therein bestows extra-ordinarily good results.
• However, they are different from Pushkaramsha, which are particular beneficial degrees in
any sign.
 In fiery signs, 21st degree
 In earthy signs, 14th degree
 In airy signs, 24th degree
 In watery signs 7th degree
• Any planet posited in these degrees bestows very good results.
• A native having rising Navamsha falling in Vargottam, Pushkar-Navamsha or Pushkaramsha, is
outstanding in his career.
• Placement of more planets in Pushkar-Navamsha will enhance the status, worth & prosperity
of the native.
• NT Ramarao (Ex-chief Minister of Andhra) had rising Navamsha and five planets-Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Jupiter & Ketu, in Pushkar-Navamsha, while Sun & Mercury were Vargottam.
Inauspicious Navamsha Divisional Chart
Certain Navamshas are very inauspicious and provide fertile ground for
germination of explosive criminal thoughts.
When these Navamsha are tenanted with or by lagna, lagna lord & Moon and/ or

Moon & malefic Mars, Saturn & Rahu, they increase propensities to commit
crimes. These Navamsha are
8th & 9th Navamsha of Aries;
1st 6th & 8th Navamsha of Taurus, Leo & Scorpio;
1st 6th & 9th Navamsha of Gemini & Aquarius;
3rd & 9th of Cancer & Capricorn;
4th Navamsha of Virgo & Pisces;
9th Navamsha of Libra.
Nathuram V. Godse, Killer of Mahatma Gandhi, had Mars in Lagna in 6th
Navamsha of Gemini aspecting Jupiter (R) in 4th house in 4th Navamsha of Virgo,
both indicated propensity to commit crime.
• 64th Navamsha-
• 64th Navamsha from Moon, ascendant or any other planet is a sensitive area in

a chart and transit over these areas by Saturn is said to cause much distress or
even death.
• It will be the same Navamsha from the planet in its 8th sign e.g. if a planet/
ascendant is in Taurus at 19⁰40' in the 6th Navamsha from beginning of Taurus,
its 64thNavamsha will be the 6th Navamsha in Sagittarius.
• A simpler way to calculate the 64th Navamsha form any planet/ ascendant is to
note its sign position in Navamsha chart and the 4th sign from it will be its
64th Navamsha.
• The concept of 64th Navamsha has been developed by different astrologers
from various stand points.
• However the most important is when it is reckoned from Moon followed by
ascendant.
• 64th Navamsha.. Continued….
• When the lords of 22nd Drekkana and of 64th Navamsha from Moon happens to
be the same planet, it becomes most malefic and if Saturn transits its Kaksha,

the death is inevitable.
• When transit conjunction of major planets takes place in 64th Navamsha,
important events take place in one's life for good or bad.
• If the Navamsha lord of Moon is inimical, neutral or friendly to the lord of 64th
Navamsha therefrom, the longevity of the native will be short, medium or full.
• When lord of 64th Navamsha from natal ascendant occupies a Trika house and is
conjunct with Saturn, the native may die of poisoning; but if conjunct with a
node, the death may be by hanging.
• In case of Z.A. Bhutto (Chart No 2), the lord of 64th Navamsha from ascendant,
Saturn, was in 6th house conjunct with Ketu resulting in his death by hanging.
Again Nathuram Godse, had lord of 64th Navamsha from ascendant, Mercury,
was in 12th house conjunct with Rahu, resulting death by hanging.
Inauspicious Navamsha-Nidhanamsha Divisional Chart
• Nidhanamsha/ Ashtamamsha-
• Any planet if posited in a Navamsha owned by the 8th house-sign in natal chart
is said to be Nidhanamsha.

• In chart No, 4 of Madhav Rao Scindhia, ascendant is Scorpio, so the 8th house
will be Gemini.
• Suppose the ascendant lord, Mars, is posited in one of the nine Gemini
Navamshas, the Mars is said to be in Nidhanamsha.
• lf the 7th lord is in Nidhanamasha, one will be sinful by joining other's women.
• If Jupiter is in 2nd house occupying Nidhanamsha, while Moon is in debility
Navamsha, native will be poor.
• If Ascendant lord is posited in Nidhanamasha, the native will die of starvation
or on ground with no blood relation by his side.
• Late Ms Indira Gandhi, had her ascendant lord Moon in Nidhanamsha. She died
on ground with no blood relation by her side.
Inauspicious Navamsha-Nidhanamsha Divisional Chart
• Nidhanamsha/ Ashtamamsha-
There can be only nine Nidhanamsha in a chart in nine different signs each at a
distance of 40⁰.

When a planet occupies a sign in Navamsha which is the 8th sign from its natal
position is called Ashtamsha.
Suppose a planet posited in Libra in natal chart is posited in Taurus Navamsha, it
is said to be in Ashtamsha.
Please note that fixed signs have no Ashtamsha in them.
A planet in Ashtamsha denotes short life to the person whose Karaka it is.
Ashtamsha is a separate divisional chart as well, wherein each part is 1/ 8 part of a
sign or equal to 3⁰ 45’.
Navamsha-Continued.. Divisional Chart
• Timing of Death-
• As per Devakeralam, death of a native or his close relations can be indicated by
Navamsha. According to Sloka 354, "Take the particular Bhava representing native
(Lagna) or his close relations and note where the 8th lord from it is placed in

Navamsha".
• Again as per Sloka 526-527 ibid, "When Saturn (in appropriate age group) comes in
transit to that particular sign or to one of its Trikone, the death of the native/
relation may be fore-told". These guidelines are applicable for all lagna.
• Rasi Tulya Navamsha & Navamsha TulyaRasi –
• It is very significant that a Nakshtra quarter (pada) is identified with Navamsha.
• Both are not only of the same arc (3⁰20'), but their line of demarcation is also same.
• Imagine transpose of Navamsha chart on the natal chart, without changing lagna
sign of natal chart.
• In other words planets in this chart are placed in the same sign, which are occupied
by the planets in the Navamsha chart.
• This is called Navamsha Tulya Rasi. This provides a very important tool to evaluate
the relationship of planets with a house Nadi, or of a planet with other planets.
Navamsha Continued.. Divisional Chart
• As per DhurvaNadi, each planet is given a Special nomenclature according to his
bhava position of the Navamsha sign, in the natal chart.
• They are known as Bhaw Suchak-Navamsha. Planets in this chart may be treated
according to their position in Kendra Trikone, Trika house and so on and are called

Nidhanamsha, Bhagyamsha, Vyayamsha and so on.
• lt may be noted that each Navamsha of 3⁰20'is projected into a full sign of 30⁰.
• In another classification, Navamsha sign falling in Kendra/ Trikone are called
Kendramsha/ Trikonamsha etc.
• These classifications are very important & useful in judging Rajyogas & worth of a
chart.
• If more planets fall in good houses, the native leads a happy & prosperous life.
• Conversely if more planets occupy evil houses, the native confronts many
difficulties in life. Saturn's transit in the sign identical with the Navamsha occupied
by the lord of the 8th house from a given Bhava or a Trikone thereof, will destroy
the good effect due to that Bhava.
• While Jupiter's transit in the same position, will indicate realization of the good
effects of that Bhava.

Strength of Dvisional Charts
Vimsopaka Bala
Strength of Divisional Charts Divisional Chart
• The divisional charts provides excellent opportunity to measure the true strength of planets as
only strong planets are capable of giving good results. The weak planets not only fail to
deliver results of their significations but also spoil the results of the Bhava where they are
placed or the yoga they form. Planets occupying benefic positions e.g. exaltation,

Mooltrikone, own sign or sign of his friend, in different Vargas become strong and would give
good results.
• On the other hand if a planet is debilitated, in enemy’s sign, combust, defeated or other wise
weak, it should be treated as malefic.
• The location of planets in the divisional charts materially influences the results of planets
constituting a yoga.
• The Navamsha is the most important Varga to indicate basic/inherent strength of any planet.
• A planet, which occupies same sign in natal & Navamsha chart is called Vargottam. As Per
Saravali, "A planet in own Decante bestows good results, in own Navamsha makes one lucky,
in own Sapthamsa bestows courage, name & fame, while in own Dwadasamsa makes one
devout & helpful".
• There are various grouping of Varga schemes, like Shad-varga, Sapt-varga, Dasvarga & Shodas
varga; but normally astrologers consider Saptvarga or Dasvarga scheme only.
• The strength of a planet in any varga scheme is measured on a scale of 20 ( Vimsopaka) by
occupying continuously benefic position.
• The value of each Varga in Sapt-varga/ Dasvarga groupings in Vimsopaka (scale of 20) is as
under Rashi Score in Sapta Varga Score in Dasha Varga

Rasi (D-1) 5.00 3.0
Hora (D-2) 2.00 1.50
Drekkana (D-3) 3.50 1.50
Saptamsha (D-7) 1.00 1.50
Navamsha (D-9) 4.50 1.50
Dasamsha (D-10) - 1.50
Dwadasamsha ( D-12) 2.00 1.50
Shodasamsha ( D-16) - 1.50
Trimsamsha (D-30) 2.00 1.50
Shashtiamsha (D-60) - 5.00
Total 20.00 20.00
• To assess the benevolence/strength of a planet forming a yoga or otherwise, the astrologers
normally consider its position in Sapt-varga or Dasvarga scheme of charts.
• Depending on the number of times a planet occupies a benefic position in Sapt-varga/
Dasvarga groups of divisional charts, the strength of planet increases.

• In Dasvarga scheme, the planet is assigned a specific name with its meaning as shown against
each asunder

• a) In Nine Vargas: Causes destruction.
• b) In Eight Vargas: Gives sorrow & lamentation.
• c) In Seven Vargas: Denotes bad luck/ misfortune.

• d) In six Vargas: Makes native unhappy, restless & worried.
Analysis of Dvisional Charts-General Principles Divisional Chart
• A Divisional chart or Varga is an ultimate analysis based on finer divisions of a
zodiacal sign upto 60 parts.
• The Varga system is used to assess the strength of various planets and their
influence on the native in different fields of life.

• A true & accurate ascendant based on birth data is a must for this system of
analysis.
• Any error in it will only multiply in Vargas and reveal inaccurate & conflicting
signals, making the whole picture out of focus.
• The main factors, which should be kept in mind while analyzing D-charts, are
Karya Bhava, Karyesh and the Karaka.
• Karya Bhava is the sign of the house that is significator of ruling activity.
• Karyesh is the lord of concerned house in the Rasi chart.
• This lord, the Lagna lord and the karaka will have to be well placed both in the
Rasi and the concerned Varga in order to yield benefic results.
• A Divisional chart should be studied in the same manner as a Rasi chart for the
specific facet of life for which the chart is meant.
Analysis of Divisional Charts-General Principles Divisional Chart
• Most important is the position of lords of Dasha and of sub-period in the Rasi and the
relevant D-chart.
• For finer analysis, the dignities of the planets representing the karyesh and the karaka
should be examined.

• Their exaltation/debilitation, their placement in a friendly/ inimical sign and their
association/ aspects in Rasi as well as in the concerned Varga will provide a complete &
composite understanding.
• A planet occupying sign of its exaltation, Mooltrikone, own or of a friend in a number of
Vargas is considered strong & beneficial and gives good results.
• Besides sign, a planet occupying Kendra/ Trikone in a Varga also makes him strong &
benefic.
• On the contrary, a weak/afflicted planet does not give desired results and might cause
problems & obstructions in his main/subperiod in matters related to the concerned Varga.
• If a planet is weak in Rasi or Navamsha chart but is strong &benefic in other Vargas
including the concerned one, it would give good results in only the concerned fields of the
D-chart during its main or subperiod over-riding the possible evil effects of the Rasi chart.

D-2 or Hora Chart – Wealth Prosperity Divisional Chart
• Hora chart is studied to assess the wealth, prosperity, happiness, intelligence, power
to discriminate, face, food, behaviour, relations with other members of the family and
other 2nd house significations.
• To facilitate these, lord of 2nd house and karaka of 2nd house, Jupiter, should also be

analyzed.
• The results are dependent on a two fold strength i.e. strength of Sun & Moon, in whose
Hora various planets are placed, and the strength of planets other than the Sun &

house. Here a sign is divided into four equuaI parts of 7-30' each.

assets & liabilities e.g. land buildings or construction/ owning houses.

• This chart is also studied for family happiness, childhood, peace of mind or contentment.
• In the case of girls, as marriage means leaving the parental home, affliction to 4th house also
denotes timing of marriage
• If 4th house has a Mooltrikone sign, it gives more favorable results. If not, 2nd or 11th house
should also be seen if that has a Mooltrikone sign.
• If Sun or Moon are lord of 4th house or closely influence it, the assets will be rich in nature.
• Next to them in giving affluence are Jupiter and Venus. But if Saturn be in such a position, the
assets will be meager. Vehicles & other movable luxuries are not to be seen from this chart;
for them one should study Shodasamsha (D-16).

Shodasavarga. This only explains that our ancient sages gave little importance to material
happiness.

D-7 or Saptamsha Chart
Progeny
Saptamsha - Rules Divisional Chart
• Saptamsha is the sevenfold division of a sign.
• Each division extends 4-17'-8.5", which for simplicity sake is considered as 4-17'
only, and the last one is given an additional minute to finalize the division.
• The Saptamsha is a division of 7th house showing main focus on activity of 5th

house i.e. progeny.
• The probable explanation is that 7th is house of sexual interaction and 5th is
house of gains/ fruits (11th from it) i.e. progeny. Hence Parashar advised to look
to Saptamsha for children & grand-children and happiness derived from them.
• The basic promise for children i.e. ability to conceive should however be
checked first in Rasi chart.
• The sex, number, welfare of progeny and happiness from/ relations with them
could then be confirmed from Saptamsha during a particular planetary sub-
period.
• However consequent to follow small family norms, all rules of classical texts
regarding number of children as per one's horoscope have become
inapplicable.
• In addition to D-3, Saptamsha also confirms number of brother/ sister and
happiness from them by studying Lagna & 3rd house of D-7.
• As per Jatak Parijata this divisional chart also indicates character or
temperament of the native.

• The deities presiding over the seven divisions are not gods as such, but
represent the spirit of certain objects/ Rasa which we use for sustaining
ourselves. The seven Rasa in order for odd signs are
• Kshar (pungent alkali).
• Kshir (milk).
• Dadhi (curd/ yoghurt).
• Ajyam (Ghee).
• Ikshu Rasa (sugarcane juice).
• Madya (wine) and
• Suddha Jala (pure water).
• This order is reversed in even signs starting with pure water.
• The significations of each Rasa are as follows
• Kshar Saptamsha- A native born in this division, has no comfort from children. Children
aggravate the pain and add insult to injury. The native suffers humiliation, anxiety & grief
because of them.
• Ksheer Saptamsha - This gives native modest, faithful & well mannered children. They nourish
& sustain the socio-economic status of parents.

• Dadhi Saptamsha- A native born in this Saptamsha is blessed with steady, sober, soft &
attractive children. The children are delicate, tender, possessive and maintain their identity
and give happiness to their parents.
• Ajyam Saptamsha- Such natives are blessed with righteous, religious & respectful children
who give name, fame & prosperity to the native. It gives Satwik qualities of service & sacrifice
to an individual.
• lkshrasa Saptamsha- This gives native sweet natured, straight forward and comforting
children. As per some, the children could be rough, strong and firm also.
• Madya Saptamsha- The children of such natives are fun loving, easy going, full of joy, live in
their own world of illusion but help the native.
• Shuddha Jal Saptamsha- Native is blessed with chaste, religious, innocent children with clean
habits & upright character who need protection against company of bad people. They bring
comfort, honour & happiness to the native’s life
Results of Planets as Saptamsha lord (Vargesh)
• Sun- The native is brave, renowned, valorous, reputed, powerful and engaged in noble deeds.
• Moon- The native is pious, religious, modest, noble, romantic and learned.

• Mars-The native is strong, powerful, unbeatable and egoist.
• Mercury- The native is modest, sweet tongued, poetic, skilled in art & craft, learned and an
eloquent speaker.
• Jupiter- The native is talented, genius, virtuous, wise, steady and holds a high position among
the learned people.
• Venus- The native is sensuous, romantic, fond of entertainment, music, wit & humour and an
expert in sexual relations.
• Saturn- The native is foolish, lethargic, wicked, immoral and engaged in sinful activities
• Concept of Beej and Kshetra Sphuta
• This concept has been successfutty used in Vedic as well as in Tajik system in natal as well as in
horary.
• However it has not been used much in divisional charts, but I am of the opinion that this

concept ought to hold good in study of Saptamsha chart also.
• The Beej and Kshetra Sphutaare sensitive points indicating male and female capability to
ascertain potency/ sterility to produce a child.
• Beej Sphuta of a male is calculated by adding the longitudes (including sign) of Sun, Venus &
Jupiter. If the resultant figure is more 12 deduct 12 and the point so obtained is Beej Sphuta.
• Kshetra Sphuta is calculated by adding the longitudes of Moon, Mars & Jupiter of a female.
The placing of the Sphuta in a native's chart and influence on it determines the possibility or
otherwise of birth of a child.
• Beej Sphuta in an odd sign or Kshetra Sphuta in even sign is considered good and the reverse
bad.
• The Lagna, 5th house/ lord, Significators of progeny and position of Jupiter in D-1 and
septamsha Lagna and 5th & 9th house/ lords from it are studied for the consideration of
progeny.
• 1st child is seen from 5th house and subsequent ones 3rd there from i.e. from 7th, 9th & 11th

from Lagna
• Sun, Mars, Jupiter & Rahu are male planets Moon, Venus and Ketu are female and Mercury &
Saturn are eunuchs.
• Aries, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius & Pisces are male signs and other six are female signs
• If the house indicating child birth has more male influence, male child will be born, otherwise
female child.
• Nature of malefic influence on Beej/ Kshetra Sphuta denotes type of problem in child birth
and its remedy if possible
• 2nd, 6th & 10th houses (being 2nd from Lagna 5th & 9th and 8th & 12th being 8th from Lagna
and 5th' house Arishta of the child or one may adopt a son or there may be enmity with son
• Moon is the Karaka of motherhood, and its weakness in D-7 denotes inability of the mother to
bear the child. This should be appeased by worship of Moon & mother and consuming the
Rasa occupied by Moon
• If Mars associates the house of child birth, there may be caesarian delivery. If other malefics
like Saturn/Rahu also associates, there may be miscarriage
• If Saptamsha Lagna is in odd sign and is conjunct/aspected by benefics, son gives pleasure &
happiness to native.
• If Lagna is in even sign, daughter is source of pleasure to the native.
• If instead malefics influence Lagna, opposite are the results

• In a Saptamsha chart, study lord of Lagna & 5th. If they are strong & well placed, children will
give all types of pleasure to the parents and achieve name &status
• The Dasha periods of lords of 5th or 9th house from Lagna, Saptamsha and planets in 5th
house or of Jupiter normally bless progeny
• The house of prospective child should be considered as Lagna for the child. If its lord has good
relations with Saptamsha lord, the relations between parent and child will be good
• If Saptamsha Lagna is afflicted, the native may not have children or remain worried about
them.
• If 3rd house of 0-7 is influenced by male planets, native gets a brother younger to him and
gets power & position. He sometimes gets a son after the death ofa friend (Varahmihir).
• If 3rd house is influenced by female planets, one gets a sister younger to him.
• If female planets occupy D-7 Lagna, one gets daughters
• If Saptamsha lord is a malefic occupying sign of another malefic, the native would get bad
results regarding children, wealth & social status; but if a rich, happy and blessed with
talented children (Varahmihir)
• If Moon or a strong benefic is posited in Saptamsh Lagna, the native is strong, famous, co-
operative & a warrior. He is friendly and spreads happiness all around
• If in 3rd house of D- 7, there is Sun, Mars or Jupiter the native becomes rich by honest means
• If a planet Is in last Saptamsha and is in own/ exaltation sign, the native is fond of riding or

adventurous activities. He lives away from his brothers/ friends
• The planets inimical to childbirth are Mercury & Saturn, as they cause infertility. If Venus also
associates with them in Lagna or Trikone of D-7, native has had excessive sexual encounters
depleting his vitality to produce children.
• Saturn as 5th lord in 6th shows that the native will be courageous, licentious, obstinate,
destroyer of enemies, but will have little education, few children and agricultural prosperity.
• As per Mansagari, Navamsha should also be seen for children
• Lagna is Scorpio in Nakshtra of Mercury & Sub of Jupiter. 2-
5th lord exalted Jupiter from 9th house aspects Lagna & 5th
house.
• Lagnesh Mars is weak as it is in 12th house in RahuKetu axis
but is in Nakshtra of Rahu & Sub of Jupiter.

• 5th house is Pisces with 4th lord Saturn & 7-12th lord Venus
aspected by Jupiter, the Karaka of children, in own Nakshtra
and Sub of Rahu. 5th lord Jupiter is in 9th aspecting Lagna &
5th house.
• Beej Sphuta is in 6th house associated with Rahu and
aspected by 6th lord Mars, indicating strength.
• A look at the above table will show that Jupiter is either lord
of Nakshtra or of Sub of Lagna, Lagnesh, Karya Bhava,
Karyesh & Karaka for progeny, Jupiter. Rahu is Nakshtra lord
of Lagnesh Mars and Sub lord of 5th lord & Karaka Jupiter.
Again Rahu had the main period for the native during crucial
• However due to the effect of Rahu & Mars, phase of life from 22 to 40 years of age. Hence they play
first delivery was premature but Sub lord important role in blessing progeny.
Jupiter saved the child. • 5th house is of Jupiter and 7th of Venus. Hence the first child
• In D-9, Putrakaraka Jupiter is Vargottam was male during Rahu-Jupiter period and second a female
exalted in 5th house as 1st - 10th lord.
during Rahu-Ketu (female planet) period.
• Lagna is the same as in D-1, so 1st, 51t1 & 91t1
house and lords of the chart remain same as in
D-1. The Lagna being in Shuddha Jala Saptamsha,

the native is blessed with chaste, religious &
innocent children who will bring, comfort,
honour & happiness to him.
• D-7 lord being Mars denotes that native is
strong, powerful & full of vitality.
• Jupiter & Rahu are in 3rd & 91t1 house aspecting
mutually. Lagnesh Mars also aspects Rahu from
2nd house of Jupiter’s Mooltrikone.
• Lagna is in even sign aspected by Sun and Rahu,
hence there are less chances of happiness from
son than from daughter.
• Jupiter in 3rd house indicates that the native will
be rich b honest means.

late after 30 years of age. If affliction is severe, native might remain unmarried.
• In D-9 chart if Lagnesh is exalted, spouse will be affectionate, noble and belong to a rich &
royal family and if it is debilitated, one marries a mean minded or vile spouse. If Lagnesh is

associated or aspected by benefics free from affliction, one gets a beautiful & faithful wife

D-10 or Dashamsha Chart
Professional Achievements, Honour
Dashamsha Chart Interpretation- Rules Divisional Chart
• Dasamsha, as the name suggests, is a chart with one tenth of each zodiac sign. Thus each
division is of an arc of three degrees.
• Dasamsha is a chart for studying professional affairs of a native. It is quite a tricky and the
most sought after field of predictive astrology. It covers numerous areas and highly charged &

competitive environment be it service, business, politics, social works or new emerging
professions.
• This makes it very difficult for the decision makers to identify one which would be most
suitable and successful keeping the potential of the native.
• Success in any field depends on leadership qualities, native’s inclination and the blessings of
the cosmos.
• This chart also indicates prestige, power and importance in the society. It helps to study social
status, prosperity, success and fame. The chart reveals the field of activity that brings good
fortune to the native.
• This chart is basically an extension of 10th house that represents Zenith in the horoscope.
• This is the most important Kendra that signifies Karma in a native's life that a person does to
earn his livelihood and to earn recognition by society/ authorities or to seek salvation.
• This chart is also used to assess the inclination or aptitude of the native for a profession or
field of activity which can bring good fortune and the level of his success therein
• Construction & Study
• The counting of Dasamsha is to be made from the same sign for a planet posited in an odd
sign; and from the 9th sign in case of an even sign.
• Each Dasamsha represent one of the 10 cardinal sign and their lords as the presiding deity i.e.

Indra, Agni, Yama, Raksha, Varun, Vayu, Kubera, Ishan, Brahma and Ananta are the lords of the
Dasamsha in case of an odd sign; and for even signs the order of the lords is reversed.
The Karakas for 10th house or Dasamsha are:-
• Sun- To gain power, position & authority or to organize/
cultivate a diligent team. It also gives political career.
• Mercury- It rules analytical and communicative skills and
generates wealth business or profession.
• Jupiter- It rules honesty, knowledge & dependability and
signifies progress & growth in business or service.
• Saturn- It rules the 10th & 11th house of natural zodiac, hence
the natural Karaka. It signifies hard work, steel & cement,
machinery, farming and labour force.
• Construction & Study
• While analyzing Dasamsha, the "Arthtrikone" of 2nd, 6th & 10th house be studied in detail.
Seventh house being 10th from 10th is also very important.
• 6th house rules service and 7th the business. So if 6th house is strong, native will get a good

job and 7th is strong,native will succeed in business. If a debilitated malefic planet is there in
7th house, native is forced to do service. 4th house is also vital as planets posited here directly
aspect 10th house.
• The interpretation of 5th and 6th houses and their lords gets some what modified. 5th house/
lord gives inauspicious results as 5th is death (8th) of Karma (10th) and gain (11th) of opponent
(7th); where as 6th is luck/ fate (9th) of Karma (10th) or Karma (10th) of boss, fate or father
(9th).
• Saturn is important as it is lord of Capricorn, the sign of 10th house in the natural zodiac. If
Capricorn & its lord Saturn are afflicted, the native may perform cruel, heinous and criminal
deeds. If such Saturn contact Lagna/ Lagnesh, native become dependent on others as his own
financial position is lowered. Otherwise if 10th house coincides with Capricorn, native may be
dutiful, influential and brilliant in profession.

lord. Malefic influence on 9 will cause problems & humiliation due to boss and benefic
influence denotes a good and helpful boss.

8th and 11th denotes money to be put in by a partner, loan from bank and self finance
respectively.

• In a chart, Lagna denotes self, 6th house service, 7th the business and 10th the success or
power attained.

3rd house indicates short leave, 12 long leave and 8th the retirement.
• Association of Sun-Saturn in 6th or 10th house from Lagna or Moon. Moon denotes conflicts
with superiors.
• Rahu in Lagna in D-10 shows fluctuations in fortunes and changes native's career.

9th lords during their period/ sub period would give favour/ fortunes through friends/
superiors.

career, business and social status.
• Transit of relevant planets with reference to Moon gives accurate results with precise timings
in matters related to D-10
• Analysis of Rashi Chart
• Native is born in 8th Navamsha of Cancer giving her a bell shaped head
and beautiful looks. She works slowly but steadily. Being in 3rd Decanate
of cancer, she has settled in a foreign country and follows her own
standard of morality & righteousness. For this Lagna, Saturn & Jupiter are

functional malefics. Lagna is occupied by 7-8th lord retrograde Saturn in
own Nakshtra & Sub of 6 lord Jupiter, but is aspected by Yogakaraka Mars
from 6th house giving good health and immense stamina to fight back
and regain status.
• Lagnesh Moon in Nakshtra of Rahu and Sub of Jupiter is in 12th and is
aspected by 9th lord Jupiter and 10th lord Mars gave her Rajyoga at a place
far away from her native place. Moon is also hemmed between Rahu &
Saturn making her indecisive at critical moments.
• 4th lord Venus in 4th gave her Malavya Yoga and with 9th lord Jupiter gave
a good Rajyoga as well.
• 10th house is Aries aspected by 9th lord Jupiter (own Nakshtra &. Sub of
satum) and 4-11 th lord Venus giving her all the comfort&. luxuries
• in life. But aspect by 7-Bth lord 5aturn (R) in own Nakshtra & Sub of Jupiter acts as a dampener.
• 10th lord Mars in Nakshtra of Ketu & Sub of Venus is weak being in state of infancy. It aspects 9th house, Lagnesh & Lagna
and denotes great struggle to maintain position & prestige Karaka for power & politics, Sun, is 2nd lord in 5th but
• combined with Ketu. She is currently having Mercury period since Aug 1995, which gives her ruling power, but
association of Ketu is known to give political reverses and a cover of mask/ cloud. Sub-periods of malefic Jupiter &
Saturn may cause downfall
• Analysis of D-10 Chart
• 4th house of D-1 is Lagna and is aspected by Yogkaraka
Saturn from 11th house of gains.
• Lagnesh Venus aspected by 2-7th lord (of in-laws'

wealth) Mars. She got wealth, fame & power due to her
husband & in-laws.
• 10th house is occupied by 9-12th lord Mercury and Rahu
and is aspected by 2-7th lord Mars (10th lord of D-1) from
3rd.
• Hence during Mercury- Mars, she got power though
truncated. But aspect of Mars on Rahu may also cause
sudden downfall
• 10th lord Moon exchanges place with 12th lord Mercury.
10th lord Moon, Moon is also aspected by 11th lord Sun
and 3-6th lord Jupiter. But Mercury being in Rahu-Ketu
axis put a mask over her power.

D-12 or Dwadashamsha Chart
Parents, Parental Happiness
Dwadashamsha Chart Interpretation- Rules Divisional Chart
• The Dwadasamsha (also known as Suryamsha) is denoted by D- 12. It is the last division in the
first cycle of physical awareness/ existence or it is the first harmonic of the 12th house of the
Rasi chart.
• As per Maharishi Parashar, Dwadasamsha refers to readings about the parents. 12th house is

indicative of the family into which a native is born. 1st house is seat of birth and 2nd from 12th.
Thus the birth of the native is the fruit of the parents' efforts to continue their dynasty
• In this chart each sign of the zodiac is divided into 12 equal parts of 2 degree 30 minutes or 2.5
degree of angular space. It is one of the six Shadvargas. This chart is studied to know about
the predecessors, their longevity & comfort, social & financial standing and amount of
happiness one can derive from them.
• As D-12 is connected to physical plane only, it denotes parents and grandparents from both
sides and their dose relations.
• The Karma coming from more distant generations are indicated in D-40 or D-45 charts. Thus
• this chart provides a link between the past and future lives.
• In this chart, counting always starts from the sign itself i.e. the first division of any sign will
belong to the sign itself. The whole zodiac is divided into 144 Dwadasamshas each covering an
arc of 2°-30’.
• The lords/ deities of the Dwadasamshas are Ganesh, Ashwani Kumars, Yama and Sarpa/

Vasuki. They repeat three times in each sign. Maharishi Parashar by giving lordships to these
divisions, has suggested that to strengthen a planet, the native should worship the deity thus
indicated to remove the malefic effects of the planet during its Dasha period or transit. The
role of deities are:-
• Ganesh; He is lord of 1, 5 & gth divisions. He is the beloved son of Lord Shiva and mother
Parvati. Ganesh is the lord of wisdom, prosperity and remover of obstacles. He is very learned,
intelligent, brave, noble, pious, faithful to parents and lord of common people.
• Remembering Ganesh during crisis or at the commencement of any work, success is assured.
• Ashwani Kumars: They are lord of 2, 6 & 10th divisions. The male twins of Sun god are
physicians to the deities. They are very wise, young; intelligent, skilled & expert in the science
of healing and restoration of health.
• Even today many surgeons & physicians worship them to cure their patients.
• Yama: He is lord of 3, 7 & 11th divisions. Yama is also son of Sun god. He is Lord of death and
rules over hell. He signifies restraint, self control, moral values, impartiality, justice, equality,
endurance, duty and responsibility.
• Sarpa or Vasuki: He is lord of 4, 8 & 12th divisions. It denotes wickedness, cheating, revenge,
killing and last part of the day. It also denotes love for solitude, cleanliness, power of
endurance and satisfaction
• There is another variation of group of Deities/lords suggested by sage Parashar for 12

different Dwadasamshas of any nativity in any given sign.
• Each deity has an implied meaning and bestows different results for Lagna or any planet
when it falls in a particular amsha. These deities represent each Dwadasamsha along with
their implied meaning as under:
Of the deities mentioned above, Kubera, Kirtee,
Mohana & Indra (nos. 1, 4, 7 &10) are most
auspicious; Patanga, Maayaavi, Kinnara & Leela
(nos. 2, 6, 8 & 11) are mediocre; and Hala,
Vihwala, Sarpa & Kokila (nos. 3, 5, 9 & 12) are the
least auspicious as stated by Parashar.
This system has been amply tested by Justice
S.N. Kapoor and by Dr. Suresh Chandra Mishra.
• Karakas, Houses & Planets
• Karakas- Sun and Moon are the natural Karakas for father and mother. Jupiter is the karaka
for paternal relations including grandparents and Mercury is for maternal relations/ grand
parents. Some astrologers consider Rahu for paternal grandparents and Ketu for maternal

grandparents. The 3rd and 4th in the order of Char Karakas acts as Pitrukaraka and
Matrukaraka. Their connection with Atrnakaraka will denote transfer of Rajyoga or power
from the parents.
• Houses- The father should be judged from 9th house from Lagna or Sun and the mother from
4th from Lagna or Moon. Paternal grand father is seen from 5th (9th from 9th) house and
paternal grand mother from 12th C4th from 9th) house from Lagna or Sun.
• Maternal grand parents are seen from 7th and 12th house from Lagna or Moon.
• The 2nd and 7th houses from these are Maraka Sthan for these relations who may die in
Dasha lorded by planets conjoining or lording them.
• The Lagna indicates native's nature towards parents & family in general and the influences he
gets from them. It also denotes events around the birth of the native.
• The Arudha Lagna indicate show others see him in connection with his family. The 2nd house
denotes childhood of the native and the maintenance provided by the parents during
childhood.
• 12th house indicates parental existence or any harm/ trauma suffered by them at the time of
birth. The 3rd & 11th houses denote relations with siblings in terms of parents' filial attraction.
11th house also denotes occasional gains or support later on after marriage.
• 6th house indicates debts incurred by parents which may become a burden on native or a debt

towards them. 8th house denotes the inheritance or a loan from parents. 10th house indicates
vocational skills taught by the father.
• If Lagnesh is a strong benefic or associated/ aspected by a benefic, native is fortunate,
wealthy, prosperous and blessed with a noble wife. A weak / malefic Lagnesh denotes hard
life and poverty.
• If 7th lord is associated/ aspected by benefics, native gets noble virtuous wife, good children

and affection from maternal lineage. An afflicted 7th house/ lord denote troubles from wife
and maternal relations.
• If Lagna or Lagnesh of D-12 chart is placed in Rasi chart in
• Lagna- The native is as rich & prosperous as his father
• In a Trika house- Native is deprived of any comforts from father.
• Is debilitated, combust or associated with malefics- native gets very bad results. He is
• troubled by fire, thief or authorities.
• In 11th house- Native enjoys father's wealth and becomes rich and prosperous.
• Sign of exaltation or own or with a strong benefic- It is lucky both for native as well as for
parents and all help and happiness from parents would be forthcoming.
• Unobstructed Argalas on 8th house denote nature of inheritance, on 11th the ways parents
help the native and on Badhak Sthans from Lagna the ways relatives obstruct the native from
gains.
• D-12 is the last division of the first cycle of Vargas and thus should be used for finer analysis
along with other charts
• Analysis of Rasi Chart
• Native is a female born at night with Lagna,
Lagnesh & Moon in even sign makes
Mahabhagya Yoga giving her birth in an

aristocratic family.
• Her Sun is in 5th with 12th lord Mercury
aspected by 9th lord Jupiter and Yogkaraka
Mars,which further confirms it.
• Her Lagna is Cancer in Nakshtra of Mercury
(12th lord) and Sub of Rahu (representing
grandfather) showing their influence on her.
• For this Lagna Saturn & Jupiter are functional
malefics
• Lagnesh has exchanged sign with 7th lord, 5th
lord has exchanged with 11th lord and 2nd lord
has exchanged with 5th lord. Again Mars as
Yogkaraka aspects 9th house and 9th 4.
• lord aspects 10th lord Mars. All these create
powerful Rajyoga.
• Analysis of D-1 Chart
• 4th lord Venus is in 5th house in Rahu-Ketu axis
and Moon (Nakshtra of Sun & Sub of Saturn) in
inimical Capricorn is aspected by malefics

Saturn and Jupiter (R) causing chronic illness
and early death of her mother
• Her 9th lord Jupiter is retrograde, functional
malefic (being 5th lord) and posited in Badhak
Sthan from Lagna.
• Her 9th house from Sun is afflicted by 8th lord
Saturn and Sun itself is in Nakshtra & Sub of
Saturn and aspected by Jupiter. Hence native
could not have love & care of his father during
early life.
• Native suffered from Kuja Dosha as Mars is in
2nd house afflicted by Rahu.
• Mars aspects 8th house of Mangalya and 8th
lord Saturn afflicts Lagna. She did not have
good marital life and became widow at an early
age of 41.

• Known (6th house) and unknown (Badhak & Badhakesh). This chart also suggests remedial
approach to face various calamities.
Trimshamsha Divisional Chart
• In this chart, the two luminaries, Sun & Moon, are excluded from any lordship. Moreover, the
divisions instead of being proportional, are based on a different principle, as under:

from. However Venus being the Karaka for vehides is equally important.

luxuries and during Dasha related to planets associated with them, native may have loss of luxuries or

accidents like vehicle accidents, air crash/ shipwrecks.

indicating competition/ enemy.

inherits.

Jupiter) is strong as it is in 5th with debilitation cancelled due to
