Ashteka
Varga
hen KuJa is strong in Shadbala, longevity
has to be
determined from the Bhinna Ashtaka Varga; and when
Shani is the strongest we have to depend on Samudaya
Ashtaka Varga. We have dealt with the problem
of Ashtaka
Vatga exhaustively in our book Secrets of Ashtaka
Varga
(Ranjan
Publlcations).
Influence of translting planet
has to be understood
only
from the ashtaka varga of the Moon and of the planet
concerned. If we ignore the two ashtaka vargas (of
the
Moon and of the concerned planet),
the transit influences
do,not come out accuratel y.
The luminaries and planets
transit all the twelve signs in
a sequence. Their placement
from the Moon, lagna and
themselves gives
varying results at different times. These
have to be noted carefully. Each planet
has such favourable
places
from itself. from the Moon, and from the five planets.
Thase hei ng ei ght i n number, i t i s cal ted Ashtaka varga. The
benefi c pl aces
are marked by a ci rcl e
(Bi ndu)
i n South Indi a
and by a l i ne
(Rekha)
i n north Indi a. We fol tow the South
Indian practice.
The favourable
dots come to SSZ. All the
good
and bad effects have to be declared with reference
of
these ei ght. Al so note whi ch pl anet

There
are variations among our authoritative
texts.
We will ndte them as and when necessary.

TEXT BOOK OF SCIENNFIC ruNDU ASTNOLOOY
For the time being we ignore the ashtaka varya of the
lagna.
The minimum required is one-twelfth of each body's total.
Less than the required minimum is not
good.
The different
results
given and by the number of Bindus of each
planet
in
its radical
position,
and by the number not given are ex-
plained in our Secrets of Ashtaka varga.
(Ranjan
Publications).
The reader is requested to refer to that text.
ttere we are concemed with the calculation of longevity
on the basls of Ashtaka Varga. We have taken the chart of
a pennn

ASTITATA UAAOA

This ls subJect to two forms of reduction or shodhana. The
flrst is Tllkona
(Trtnal).
The signs are divided into four Trinal
signs. These are
(a)
Mesha, Simha and Dhanus;
(b)
Vrishabha,
Kanya, and Malrara;
(c)
Mithuna, Tula and Kumbha; and
(d)
Karka, Vrishchlka, and Mina. The conditions laid down are as
follows:
(i)
lf the same number of Elndus is not found in the three
signs of each trinal
group,
subtract the least from the
other two. Some argue that the least number should be
deducted from all the three signs. This is not accept-
able. Jataka Parijata states
(1O.58):
EEiluFTrig rftqfts-o-trfiq faq..rffiq arg.il
t
When a sign in a trinal
group
has the least number of
benefic dots, the benefic dots in the other two signs must be
changed into this least number. Parashara has clearly stated:
Bmldrg
q
{q;i ilgdd Eg sittrnq
I
The fi gures i n the three si gns must be made equal
(tattul yam).
Thi s i s the vi ew accepted by Bal abhadra and
others al so.
(ii)
If there is no figure in one sign, the figures in the other
two remain as they are. This follows from the interpre-
tation we have given
in
(i)
above.
(iii)
When there are no figures in two signs of the groups,
the figure in the third have to be removed.
1
(iv)
If all the three signs have the same number/of benefic
dots, replace them by zero.
As a result of this Tfikona Shodhana applied to the previ-
ous table we get
the following figures:

To this we have to apply Ekadhipatya Shodhana' Except
the Sun and the Moon, the others have two signs each.
Because of the ownership of two signs, the figures in the
two signs are subject to this Shodhana. The
principles gov-
erning this are:
(i)
There is no reduction for Karka and Simha.
(ii)
If there are
planets in both the signs owned by the
planet there is no reduction.
(l i i )
If there i s no fi gure i n one of the two si gns, there i s
no reducti on.
It may or may not be occupi ed.
(i v)
If one si gn onl y i s occupi ed
by a
pl anet see whi ch
sign has a greater number
(a)
If the occupied
sign has a
greater number,
remove the figures in the unoccupied
sign'
(b)
If the occupi ed si gn has a smal l er rumber, then
gi ve the
same number to the unoccupi ed
si gn
(c)
If both the si gns
have the same number, remove the fi gures from the unoc-
cupi ed
si gn.
'
(u)
lf the two signs have no
planets consider
if the figures
in both are equal. If so, remove both.

After the second reduction we get
ln Samudaya Ashtaka
Varga as given here:
The multipliers for the signs from Mesha on words are 7,
l O, 8, 4, l O, 5, 7, A, 9, 5, l l , 12. The mul t i pl i er s f or t he
pl anet s
are: Sun 5, Chandra 5, Kuj a 8, Budha 5, Guru l O,
Shukra 7, and Shani 5.
Take the figures for each planet
separately. The figures
are those after the second reduction in the various signs
and multiply each by the sign multiplier. This gives
the total
Rashi Pinda. Then in each planet's
case consider the plan-
ets i n si gns and mul ti pl y them by the pl anetary
mul ti pl i er.
Thi s gi ves

Add these two to get

Ashtaka varga is one of the valuable systems of predictive
astrology. It is more so for an interpretation of the influences
of the
pl anets i n transi t. But regardi ng the cal cul ati on of
l ongevi ty, thi s system has not been
found
sati sfactory i n many
cases
and i t does not seem to be
qui te rel i abl e.
The system i s apparentl y cal l ed so because the bi ndus
(benefi c
dots) are reckoned from the seven
pl anets and
Lagna, thus making a total coun\ from eight
places. In
actual
practice we reckon the bindys for the
planets only
and not for Lagna. The reason for the failure of Ashtaka varga
perhaps may be due to ei ther an i nadequate comprehensi on
of the
pri nci pl es or the i nadequacy of the number of exampl es
worked out. In al l probabi l i ty there i s an i nadequate comPre-
hensi on of the
pri nci pl es on the
part of the l ater wri ters. Thi s
might explain why the bindus for Lagna are not given by them.
Moreover, the total number of bindus was to be537 and it was
hel d to be sancrosanct'

In this Lagnashtaka varga the benefic places
are given
thus:
From t he Sun 5, 4, 6, l O, l l , l 2;
From t he Moon 3, 6, 10, l l , t 2;
Fr om Mar s 1, 3, 6, 1O, 1l ;

Fr om Lagna5, 6, l O, l l .
The total bindus are 49.If we add this to the total bindus
of the seven planets,
we get
586. From Lagna toq,we must
apply the two reductions of trikona and ekadhipatya and then
apply Rashi and Craha multipliers.
In the longevity given
by Ashtaka varga and Amshayu no
deductions are to be made. On the other hand when a
planet
is exalted, the
years given
by it are to be trebled; if
in its own varga
(sign)
it is to be doubled; if in an adhimitra
house one hal f i s to be added; i f i n a fri end' s house add
one-thi rd. Sti l l some deducti ons are enj oi ned. If i t i s i n an
i ni mi cal house or adhi -shat ru house, one-t hi rd i s t o be
deducted. This is the best method to be followed, says the
text.
Possibly the links missed by the subsequent writers are
to be found in those verses of Brihat Parasara llora. One
must experi ment on these l i nes to fi nd out whether the
Ashtaka varga system of calculating longevity gives
us a reli-
able method. If we take the system to be not fully reliable we
'
cannot explain why even Mantreshwara said:

' Of
al l the methods for cal cul ati ng l ongevi ty, the
Ashtakavarga method is the best.' If so, the defect may lie In
our ignoring the lagnashtaka varga. It is earnestly believed
t hat seri ous st udent s of ast rol ogy wi l l i ncl ude
t hl s
I"agnashtaka va4la to satisfy themselves of the usefulness of
this method.
According to Jataka Partjata, some teachers, followlng
great
masters, argue that the number of years
for the lagna
derived from the lagna ashtaka varga have to be added to
thi s
(10.48).
But for l agna we get
Rashi Pi nda and not any
Graha Pinda. This is for the research scholars a serious
problem.
Now consider the samudayika (ttt5<tfuO)
nshtaXa Varga.
After the second reduction we have as given in the chart.
The Graha Pinda is l06 and the Rashi Pinda ls 122. The total
i s 228. Mul ti pl yi ng i t by 7 and di vi di ng i t by 27, we get
I
59

. Mul ti pl y i t by 324 and di vi de i t by 565.24. The res-
ult is 52.455
years.
This does not agree with facts. tle is stitl

Transit Influences
lransit
influences are always related to Ashtaka varga of
I the Moon and of the
planet
concerned. Transit effects
are generally rackoned from the Moon. Some authors observe
that during the first thirty three years
they are reckoned from
the Moon, the next 55
years
from lagna, and the last J4 from
the Sun. Others give
the first 55 to lagna, the next J5 to the
Moon, and the last 54 to the Sun. One has to rely on his own
experience and observation.
\
Each planet
transists all the twelve signs. lts influence
varies from sign to sign. We list some of the effects from the
Moon sign. They may be applied to the Lagna or the sign
occupi ed by the Sun, as per
hi s observati on, experi ence
and convi cti on. We tabul ate these.

Here the vedha

week-day. The Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, the waning
Moon, and Mercury associated with malefics are all malefic
planets; the rest are benefics. A planet is situated in a
constellation; and by its aspect three vedhas arise for it
-
one i n the l eft, one i n the front, and one i n the ri ght. In the
ri ght or l eft the vedha wi l l be wi th a star, a consonant, a
Rashi , or a vowel onl y. Thus a pl anet i n Kri tti ka has a vedha
wi th Bharani ,
3I,
Vri shabha, Nanda, Bhadra, Thul a, i T,
Visakha, and Sravana. One in Rohini has vedha with 3,
Aswi ni , d, Mi thuna,
et,
nanya, 1, Swati , and Abh[j i t. One i n
Mrigasira has vedha with Kataka,4', Simha, H, Chitra, Revati,
d,
3{,
and Uttarashadha.
The aspect of a retrograde planet is towards the right,
and that of one i n di rect moti on i s to the l eft; when i t i s
stationary, it is towards the front. For Rahu and Ketu the
vedha wi l l be on the ri ght; and for the Sun and the Moon i t
is on the left. A retrograde malefic in vedha position
causes
great evil, and a retrograde benefic does good.

same time one is not likely to live. One vedha causes fear,
two bring loss of money, three obstacles, and four death.
In the vedhas of individual planets, different results
follow. The Sun's

good effect. When the
planet causing vedha is
retrograde, the result is twofold; in exaltation threefold; in
rapid direct motion the normal effect; in depression the
effect is half. A malefic vedha on a Tithi, Rashi, Amsha, or
Nakshatra should be avoided for all auspicious undertak-
ings. lf a vedha caused by a retrograde malefic occurs
during sickness, the patient is not likely to survive; but if the
malefic is in direct motion, the ill-health will subside. lf the
vedha is caused by a malefic on the week day of one's birth
there
will be mental anguish.
The transit of the Sun in Vrishabha, Mithuna, and
l{ataka makes the East appear as set. The vowels
3{, 3, q, 3il
may be taken as belonging to the east;
3lI, s, q, 3il
to the
south; E,

q
and
3i
to the west;

During the time the Sun stays for three months in any
direction, all the stars, vowels, consonants, Rashis, and
tithis are considered to be set.lWhen a star is set and there
is vedha, the result is ill-health; when a consonant, loss;
when a tithi, fear; when all the five have vedha, the result is
death. The consonants and vowels refer to the initial letter
of the name of the native.
If these are not set, the vedha
produces different re-
sults. If a star,
growth; if a consonant,
gain; if a vowel,
happiness;
if a Rashi, success; if a tithi fame; if all the five,

560 TEXT BOOTT Of SCIENTIilC
MNDU ASTNOLOOY
If the lord of the sign owning the tenth or its amsha is a
malefic and is associated with dhuma and other upagrahas,
the native
will be wicked (J.P.
lb.b4). Such stray results
appear in our texts.
We now turn to Mandi and others. In the ghatikas given
the duration of the day is taken to be thirty ghatis.
If the
duration is less or more than thirty ghatis,
we have to adjust
the given ghatikas proportionatety.
Mandi and Gulika
There is much confuslon between Mandi and Culika. In
Uttara Kalamrita
(1.7,
8) the two are indentified and the
method for calculating the position
is that of Mandi, not that
of Culika. Sanketa Nidhi
(
I . l7) gives
the ghatls
for Mandi.
Jataka PariJata
(2.5)
reads Oulikascha Mandj. This does
not mean Mandi cal l ed Cul i ka. It means "Cul i ka
and
Mandi ". l n 2. 48, 5. 62, 63, 67, 68, 70 and 73; and 9. 7 t hi s
t ext ref ers t o Mandi . But i n 5. 57, 64, 65; 6. 61; and 9. 1 he
quotes
the two; and in 9.8, 9, 73 he refers to Gulika and in
18.37 he speaks of Oulika Dasa.
In the second chapter Parashara tells us how to calcu-
l ate the posi ti on
of Gul i ka
(2.67
-
69). In chapter si x whi l e
referring to the results, Parashara uses the words Culika.
Mandi , Papa and Yamanuj a
(6.61.72).
In the Sutras of
Jaimini we have the words Mandi and Gulika which refer
only to Qulika. We cannot, therefore, blame the authors of
Uttara lIalamfita, Jataka PariJata and other texts for cre-
ating a confusion.
For arriving at the position
of Culika divide the duration
of the day and of the night into equal parts.
Then count the
order of the weekdays from the planet
of the day of birth. At
the end of Saturn' s part we have the posi ti on
of Gul i ka for
a birth in the daytime. i"or a night birth, the count is from
the fifth day of the day of birth.
Mandi ' s posi ti on
i s at the end of 26, 22, tA, 14, tO, 6
and 2 ghatis from the time of sunrise, where, ghatis
are
baserl on the durzrtion of the day being thirty-ghatis. tf the
duration ,is more or less, there has to be proportionate
increase or decrease. These are from sunrise respectively

from SundAy onwards. At the end of these
ghatis
falls the
time for Mahdi. Thus for a day birth on Thursday Mandi is at
ten
ghatis
from sunrise. For a night birth the count is from
the fifth day of birth. Thus the position
of Mandi in the night
from Sunday onwards wi l l be at the end of l O, 6, 2,26,22,
l8 and 14
ghatis,
if the duration of the night is thirty ghatis.
Too much importance is given
to Mandi in Karnataka,
Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In the rest of the country this word
l s
practi cal l y
unknown. Si nce the l earned Mr. H.R. Shankar
refuses to admit Uranus and Neptune because they have no
place in Vimshottari, we need not give any significance
to
Mandf or Culika who have no place
in any Dasa system.
Jataka ParlJata
(9.1
to 6) states that Mandi, confused
with Gulika, gives
malefic results in all hosues except the
eleventh. Since very few people
can have this Gulika in the
el eventh, most of us wi l l be adversel y hi t by thi s unseen
entity. Suffering is the bane of our trlbe. What then is the
use of calculating Mandi's position?
Mantreshwara too gives
similar results.
Parashara in hls sixth chapter does not offer any conse
lation. Still we summarise his view.
Flrst house : Sickly, passlonate,
roflue, vicious, wicked
character, sorrowful.
Second : Sorrowful, mean, gapbling
or other vices,
l oss of chi l dren, weak.
I
fffrd : Well-shaped, ruter or heab of a village, virtuous,
fond of good
men, honoured by rulers.
Fourth : Sickly, afflicted by wind and bile, wicked.
Flfth : [,oss of wealth and fame, short life, eunuch,
mean, atheist, seruile to women.
Sixth : Conquers foes, well famed, courageous, enthu-
siastic, and loved by women.
Seventh : Overcome by women, wicked or sinful, loose
morals, emaciated, loss of brothers, lives on women,s
money.
Dlghth : Hungry, sorrowful, cruel, angry, hard hearted,
emaciated, devoid of good qualities,
takes the life of others.

These results offered
by Parashara

consolation.
Most of these are attributed to Saturn, Rahu or
Mars. Hence i n our opi ni on
thi s Gul i ka can be dropped for
predictive
purPose. Only in Jaimini's
system Culika has
some significance.
Like Christian in Bunyan's

we need not carry the burden of Mandi, or Rahu
Xata. Some in the northern
coastal districts of Andhra have
added also Dur-Muhurta
which varies from day to day'

For a night birth take the ftfth one from
that day; and the ghatikas
are from sunset.
We will give a few obseryations taken from the texts.
Dhuma in the seventh denies marriage. Kala in the seventh
brings about the death of wife; and
parivesha
there makes
her ill-behaved. Upaketu in the seventh makes her barren.
Kala in the seventh denies marriage. Birth with Outika in

a defective limb; with

At 5.5O A.M. on January 22 the Sun was at 9s.7o.41' .5" and
on the next day at 5.5O A.M. the Sun was on 8o.42' .33".

ANNUAL SOLAR RETURN

Dr. B.V. Raman's Varshaphala follows the Tajika system
as devel oped by Ni l akantha and Kesava. Thi s i s evi dentl y an
import from Tazhakistan. The
yogas have Arabic names and
the aspects are those accepted by western astrology.
The Taj i ka method
prescri bes the cal cul ati on of the
strength by five vargas and also by twelve vargas' The ruler
of the
year i s sel ected from
(l ) l ord of the si gn occupi ed by
the Sun
(day)
or by the Moon
(night); (2)
lord of the lagna in
the natal chart;
(5)
l ord of l agna i n the annual chart;

Muntha; and
(5)
l ord of Tri rasi s. The cal cul ati on of the dasas

work on Varshaphala,
and D. Bradley's Soli-Lunar Beturns.We

After cal cul ati ng
the l agna and tenth house, note the

have to calculate
the seven vargas-Rasi, Hora, Drekkana,
Saptamsa, Navamsa,
Dvadasamsa,
and Trimsamsa for the
lagna and the
Planets.
Then count from the birth nakshatra to the nakshatra in

TEXT BOOK OF SCIENTTnIC TTINDU AjTROINOY
The Sapta Varga strength of the planets
for the above
chart are: Guru 172.5, Shani I44.SZS, Shukra I12.5, Sun
and Moon A6. 25, Budha a2. b and Kuj a Sg. l 2s
Shashtyamsas. The weakest is Kuja. The strongest
ls Guru
followed by Shani. The lagna has two vargas of its own lord,
two of his friends, and three of his enemies. The lagna is
mildly strong. Rahu has five friendly vargas.
The lagna is to be calculated only for the origlnal place
of birth.
The principles
of interpretation are the same as those
for the natal charts. We have to note also the transits of
planets during the year.
By blending the results of the solar
retum chart with those of the Moon from the original lagna,
Moon, or Sun, we can predict
the events of the year
more or
less accurately. Transits have always to be related to the
ashtakavarga of the birth chart and to that of the solar
return. Ashtakavarga modifies the results of the transits.
Now we outline broadly the results of the various dasas
during the year.
Sun: lf strong-acquisition of money, omaments and
clothes; if weah-increase of foes, sinful deeds.
Chandra: If strong-royal favour, increasing wealth and
honour; if weak-increase of foes, suffers from diseases,
unhappy, wandering, changes the place, quarrels
with rela-
tives.
Kuja: lf strong-favours from the ruler, successful,
happy; if weak-fears from the ruler, quarrels
with sons and
wife, loss of wealth.
Budha: If strong-valorous, benefic results, extremely
happy, many gains and profits;
if weak-misunderstandings
or enmity with brothers and sisters, follows evil or sinful
ways, treacherous to the wise elders.
Quru:
If strong-conveyances, wealth; if weak-wanders
from place
to
place,
loss of money, evil ways, bad associa-
tions.
Shukra: If strong-amasses wealth and fame, refined
clothes, happiness from wife; if weak-loss of wealth, fear
from foes, bad name, diseases of the generative
organs.

Shani: If strong-house, happiness, ruler; if weak-loss of
weal th, anaemi a or neuri ti s or wasti ng fever, bad name.
Rahu: If strong-performs virtuous deeds and good
acts,
has gains, rise in profession;
if weak and malefic-inauspi-
cious results, death of father, associates with foes and the
wicked.
I-agna: The results are good,
average, or bad according
to the ri si ng drekkana, associ ati on and pl acement
of the

yoga
formed by
the lord of lagna.

n order to
predict
accurately about the futr.rre of the
I
states one should know the ruling star and planet
of ea-
ch state. Sometimes it is necessary to take into consider-
ati on the date and ti me of an i mportant consti tuti onal de-
vel opment. Thus for U.S.A. we need the date on whi ch thei r
i ndependence was procl ai med.
For U.K. we requi re the date
when the United Kingdom came into being. Here astrolo-
gers have been following Ptolemy and others, ignoring the
insights of Indian sages. Thus some take Virgo as the ruling
sign of India and others Capricorn. To set things right, it is
better to take a look at the writings of Varahamihira.

Most astrologers take the chart of August 15, 1947 as
the Indi an Independence chart. On that day Indi a acqui red
onl y a domi ni on status under the Bri ti sh Crown. The country
was not fully free. She became a sovereign democratic
republ i c onl y on January 26, l 95O at l O.l 8 A.M. It was
from this date and time that India became really indepen-
dent. It is this chart that guides the destiny of lndia, not that
of August 15, 1947.
Fol l owi ng Lahi ri ' s ayanamsa 23" 9' 58' we
get the si de-
real t i me as 18. 16. 51 and t he chart i s:
Rasl: Arles-Moon l2-O5; Ceminl-Uranus 08-55;

Jupi t er; Cancer Nep, Ven, Moon; Ll bra Asc;
Scorpio-Sat, Rahu, Merc; Pisces-Uranus.
Lahiri's ayanamsa
gives a balance of Ketu's
period
to be
four months and twenty three days. The major period of
Mars began on June 19, 1986. It i s thi s chart on the basi s
of which we have to read the future of the country. It is for
experts in political astrology to
pronounce a verdict finally
on the basis of the chart of modern India. Kuja, Ketu and
Neptune in the seventh aspected by the debilitated lord of
l,agna can explain many of the incidents. Also consider
Navamsa Lagna and the Karakamsa falling in Scorpio, Sat-
urn being the atma karaka. There is also an exchange of
signs
between
the Sun and Saturn. Readings based on this
chart
yield fruitful information.
Another
problem is to determine the ruling sign of India.

sign of our country. Others take it to be Virgo
(Kanya).
From
Sharada of Kashmir to llanya Kumari in the extreme South,
our country extends. These dei ti es
poi nt to a femi ni ne si gn,
to a Virgin deity as the
guardian of our land. To show that it
is not a fancy to ascribe Virgo to India, we will demonstrate
it astronomicallY.
The Fyramid of Gizeh is at 5lo 7' 50' East. The is equal
in Right Ascension to 27o 54' O'. That is at 3o 13' 50" East,
the RA is zero. For countries in Eastern longitude take thc
longitudes
of their capitals. From this longitude deduct 5"
l5' 5O'. Then take the result in the tables of RA, and then
we can determine the corresponding
longitude. This will be
the M.C. of that
place. flaving
got it, we can determine the
lagna of the country concerned'
For i nstance the l ongi tude of New Del hi i s 77o l 3' .
Deducti ng 50 15' 50" from thi s we
get 73o 59' 5O". Thi s
gi ves M.C. i n Cerni ni
(Mi thuna) at l 50 15' 2l " and the natal
ascendant
of India at l50 29' 12'of Kanya
(Virgo).
This is as
per the Chaitra
Paksha ayanamsa of Lahiri.
For localities to the West of Greenwich
subtract the
West longitude of the Capital concerned
from 5560 46' 30"
The required longitude of Washington for instance will be
27go 42' 5O' when we deduct 77o 4' . Thi s
gi ves the M.C. of
the United States of America to be Capricorn
(Makara)
8"
55'
l O' . Thi s woul d
gi ve l 60 8' 17' of Ari es as the ascen-
dant.
The natal or ruling sign of India is Kanya
positively. The
independence
chart of modern India
gives the ascendant to
be Mina
(Pisces). Relating these two we can
predict the
future of India safelY.
The distance in longitude from the Cizah
fframid
di-
vided by fifteen
gives the sidereal time for Delhi as 40 5.5'
58'.
Taking this for the date of the coincidence
of the two
zodiacs-whenever
it may have taken
place, the ascendant
of Indi a Vi rgo
(Kanya) i s at l 5o 29' 12", and the' M' C' i s
Gemi ni
(Mi t huna)
at t he mi ddl e 15" l 5' 2l ' . The navamsa
l,agna
is then Vrishabha.
Hence Capricorn
cannot be the
ruling sign of India.

MUNDANE ASTBOLOOY
575
Mundane astrolory is a branch of astrolory that exam-
ines the charts of different countries and that of the heads
of
government in assessing the future trends of events.
Here a nation's chart is determined by a crucial event in its
historical development. Thus we tend to take the chart for
August 15, 1947 for Indi a. Thi s i s debatabl e. Indi a became
on that day a selfgoverning dominion under the United
Kingdom. India became really free on January 26' l95O;
and this should be the chart to be examined to forecast the
future of the country. Similarly the October Revolution of
l 9l 7
(November 7)
gi ves the chart for modern Russi a. Thi s
l s one method. But there are certai n constel l ati ons,
si gns,
or
planets that are the natural rulers of countries.
Ptolemy distributed the signs among the countried by
considering
the longitudes only. Varahamihira
devotes two
chapters
in his Brthat Sanhita. He takes three successive
constellations
as a unit and assigns the lands to each unit.
The first three stars refer to the central
part of India; and
then he
proceeds to the other directions from the east in a
cl ockwi se
manner. Thus the fi rst three stars begi nni ng wi th
Kri tti ka rul e Raj asthan, Western U' P' , Hasti napur, Kuru and
Ayodhya.
Bi har and Ori ssa come under the next three.
Bengal , Kal i nga, Vi dar bha, Tr i pur i
( near
Jabal pur ) ,
Ki shki ndha
and the l i ke are rul ed by Ashl esha, Magha and
Pubba. Lanka, Yl al aya, Vanavasi , Konkan, Keral a,
Karnataka,
Nasik, Chola, Kanchi and Dandakaranya are
under the next three
(U.
Pha. Hasta, Chi tta). The next three
rul e Pal l ava, Kamboj a, Sauveera, Si ndhu, Saurashtra and
Tami l Nadu. West er n Mahar asht r a and Punj ab and
Scythians
are under Jyeshta, Moola and Pooruashadha. Pos-
si bl y Scorpi o i s the rul i ng si gn of these whence we can
expl ai n the troubl es i n the Punj ab. North-west i s rul ed by
the next three. Mal wa and northemmost
parts of Kashmi r
come under the stars Satabhi sha,
Poorvabhadra and
Uttarabhadra.
Kashmir, Tibet and China are under the sway
of Revati, Aswini and Bharani. Mostly Varahamihira con-
fi nes hi s attenti on to Indi a.

The
radical chart of the head of the state is to be considered
equally
well. For instance, for prediction about our country
we should examine the President's chart and relate it to the
rest. Since in our democracy a President is there for five
years only, the Vimshottari
system has to be adjusted to five
years only.

are the 6th and the 8th to each other. Seen against the
background of the first chart, we notice the squares be-
tween the two l,agnas and between the Moon positions.
The
positions of Jupiter are in trine. It is this great affinity that
kept her in power so long. The Moon in the 7th in both the
charts shows that our foreign policy
is neither consistent
nor coherent. It is shrouded in impractical dreams. Consis-
tent wi th her Saturn-Rahu peri od,
consi stent wi th the 1984
chart where the 9th Rahu is afflicted by Mars and Uranus,
and consistent with the 1985 chart in which the 9th is
afflicted by Mars and Rahu, religious quarrels
appear to
plague us further. Even in the Republic chart the 9th lord in
fall is offered to the enigmatic but explosive Uranus. That is,
our so-called secularism will be anything but secular, with a
sl ant agai nst most of us. Her I Oth house and the I Oth of the
l 9B5 year are affl i cted by Saturn. Not so the Republ i c chart.
The loth in a nation's chart refers to the government,
nati onal honour and reputati on. The Pri me Mi ni ster' s l Oth
house speaks el oquentl y about our vul nerabi l i ty on these
counts. This is strengthened by the 1985 chart. But the
chart of the Republic redeems us after March 1986.

A consolidated
study of the national chart of any coun-
try along with that of the new
year transits and the like
enables us to visualise the pattern of things to come. We
can
prognosticate about Pakistan and Bangladesh and
China from Libra, U.S.A. from Cemini, Britain from Aries,
the Middle East from Cancer and so on. The houses in the
national charts have special significance. The 5rd refers to
communications,
the 7th to foreign
policy and the lOth to
the nationl integritY and honour.
Apart from the seven fact'ors
(mentioned

Profession
I
strotogically, the profession
a person
takes up is to be
r rdetermi ned
by the tenth house. But thi s has to be sup
plemented by the lagna and the sixth house. If one were to
take up a business in partnership,
the seventh house is
involved. For general
service conditions, the significator is
Shani. For business it is Budha. Favourable aspects be-
tween the Sun and Curu suggest a profession
connected
with water, law, publishing,
religion etc. The favourable
aspects between the Moon and Budha suggest a
job
con-
nected with writings, teaching,
journalism,
news, house-
property and furniture. Favourable aspects between Budha
and Kuja do appear in the charts of military or naval, com-
manders, financiers, and politicians.
Budha-Quru aspects of
a favourable nature suggest
jobs
connected with religion,
literature, art, music and law. Budha-Shani contact of a
favourable kind are good for
jobs
requiring organisational
abilities. Favourable contact between Sukra and Neptune
are good for music and art. The
jobs
indicated by this are
those connected with acting, tobacco, drugs and liquid.
Cood aspects between Kuja and Shani bring one profes-
sionally in contact with the rough coditions of life. Astrology
comes under Budha and Uranus, whi l e Guru and Shani
should be well placed.
Medical profession
involves many
factors. Uranus refers to nature cure and occult methods of
heal i ng. Quru and Neptune shoul d not be affl i cted. Vi rgo,
Scorpio and Pisces should be strong. Shukra and Shani
should have mutual aspects, preferably involving Shani's

regards the unforeseen events like death; it only indicates
the

is the peculiar nature of the volatile Mercury. The Moon can
make one either too shrewd or too fickle. Uranus can reveal
ei ther a versati l e personal i ty or an eccentri c one. Neptune
seems to render one very dreamy and unpractical. These
are a few general observations, and they have to be inte-

There are certain factors needed for the proper utilisation
of one's abilities. One such is mental exactitude. This usually
results from a benefic Mercury who is associated with a strong
and beneficial Saturn. An affliction to Mercury and to the
common signs brings forth the opposite trait. An affliction
from Mars generally begets a careless, and exaggerated tem-
per whi ch may even be prone to fal sehood. Ceneral i ntel l i -

under the sway of Mercury. In any consi derati on of human
ability, we cannot afford to ignore the power wieled by Mercu-
ry
in any horoscope. One has to assess its worth in relation
to the other
planetary bodies.
Abi l i ty needs both physi cal and mental energy. Mental
energy is indicated by the kind of aspects received by Mer-
cury and Moon from Mars or Uranus or both. The conjunc-
tion of Mars with Mercury
generally increases mental activ-
ity; and when they are afflicted by bad aspects, there can be
a temporary mental breakdown. A favourable aspect be-
tween
Mars and Uranus will endorv one with extraordinary
physical energy. Thus consider the nativity of Lord Tenny'

Ability needs industry; and it is a well stationed Saturn that
makes one not onl y i ndustri ous, but methodi cal therei n. Thi s
feature seems to be inherent in the sign Virgo. Intelligence
which directs such an industry is to be read from the third
house and Mercury. The general intelligence is indicated

actually in the grip of Jupiter, the
planet that confers insight
and
judgment.
In the horoscope of Einstein only one earthly
sign has the exalted Mars. Venus and Mercury are in the

Scorpio-Moon 23o48' ; Capricom-Mars 60 12' and

tenth. The Sun is in trine with the third degree of Cancer.
The
position of the
planets from Capricom to Pisces consti-
tutes an asset for a genius who visits the Earth rarely.
A successful individual not only needs ability, but a lot
of commonsense. In the absence of commosense, ability is
bound to go astray. This is a rare
quality depending on the
harmonious aspects of Moon and Satum. Jupiter may
give
sure
judgment
and
prudence; but he does not enable one
to
grasp the actual facts thoroughly. An afflicted Mars or
Uranus is
generally seen to deprive one of commonsense.
The interchange of houses between Jupiter and Saturn in
the nati vi ty of Di nstei n ampl y i l l ustrated the fund of
commonsense
he possessed; and this is further augmented
by the fact that these are here the owners of the ninth and
tenth houses.
Ability is further strengthened by the
power of concen-
tration. One may be capable of doing anything; and
yet he
may fail to achieve anything of value only because he lacks
concentration.
This
power depends on the Ascendant,Sun
and Mercury. A persevering attitude is conferred by Saturn,
while the concentration
which Uranus
gives is fanatic and
yet spasmodic. When this power is associated with a sense
of duty one acquires a strong character. This sense of duty
is a
gift of Satum. lf we are not able to anive at a decision
on the
problem before us, our sense of duty will be of no
avail. Favourable aspects between Mars
and Uranus are
seen to
give rise to clear decisions in a very short time.
Planets in common signs bring forth a vacillating mind.
Thus in the horoscope of Charles I we find four
planets in
common signs; one of these is the lord of the third, another

that of the fifth, and the tlrird is the Moon. With such a group
is associated Mars who afflicts Venus in the fifth. There can be
no further
proof of a remarkable vacillation of the mind.
It is from the third house and Mercury that we will have to
fi nd out whether an i ndi vi dual can have a fi rm i ntel l ectual
determi nati on. A determi nati on to do a certai n thi ng actual l y
comes from Mars. Strong Sun and Saturn enabl e one to real i se
one' s ambi ti ons. The nati vi ty of Al exander shows the Sun
separating from the sextile with Saturn. Mercury is well placed
in the fourth, while the Sun is applying a sextile to Jupiter.
Here is a determined mind, a characteristic of Aries
generally.
Ability also needs a little of diplomacy. To be a diplomat
one should have a sweet tongue and a pleasing behaviour,
gi fts dependi ng on Venus; and the di pl omat' s
power to
work in a hidden way depends on Neptune. Intelligence,
patience and selfrestraint are all necessary in diplomacy,
and these spring from Mercury and Saturn. Von Papen
(born
October 29, lA79 at 5
p.m., L.M.T.) is a good example. But
a better one is the chart
given below. Here we find Vunus

PROFNSSION 589
Ability is revealed in many ways. When Sun and Saturn
are very strong, we find the native to be a highly capable
administrator. With a strong Mars, this ability will appear in
the military side. In the horoscope of Elizabeth I we find a
strong Sun in the tenth. Most of her troubles arose out of
Saglttarius-tagna llo and Jupiter 40; Pisces.Nep

Gemini-Uranus 29o; C-anceratum 6"; and Virgo-

Neptune opposing Sun and Venus. This opposition deprived
her of a certain frankness in her varied activities. Frederick
the Creat had hi s Sun on the cusp of the l oth house
Aquari us. The Sun' s
posi ti on i n the cusp of the M.C. ap
pears to play a leading role in the administrative ability.
Much depends on the nature of the sign in which the Sun is
posited.
There is another individual who is known to us as
Caesar Boryia who had Viryo rising with Mecury, in the thi-
rd degree. Mars and Saturn are very strong in the eleventh,

and so is the Sun. Though he murdered many like a villain,
he
"left among the people whom he
govemed
the reputa-
tion of a
just prince, up-right and severe". This is an esti-
mate which we are apt to brush aside. But it is true. The Sun
in the Ascendant and Saturn advancing beyond Mars in the
eleventh, is significant here.
The artistic ability is
govemed by Venus. Taurus appears
to be involved in music and painting, while the other fine
arts are concerned with Libra. This ability in its
purely
creative aspect depends on the Sun and the fifth house. All
literary creation, however, springs from Mercury, while the
artistic arises from Venus. The degrees 20 to 24 of Taurus
are very sensitive to literary output. The first five degrees of
Aries, Cancer, Libra and Sagittarius, the degrees from 4 to
6 of Taurus and Scorpio, are also to be examined carefully.
In the horoscopes of literary celebrities we actually find
Moon and Cancer holding a prominent place. Degrees l9 to

In Cladstone's nativity Jupiter is in a very sensitive

the degrees indicative of oratorical ability. The second
house has an exalted Mars who
gave a sharp and incisive
tongue to an already well-equipped orator. In Mrs. Annie
Besant's horoscope we find Mecury and Saturn occupying
the sensitive degrees. The Ascendant with Mars receives the
Aries-l,agna 23o 20' and Mars 24o 56' ; Taurus'

aspect of Saturn. This endowed her with a good deal of
constructi ve energy and abi l i ty; and she was abl e to bui l d
up an organisation with an indefatigable zeal. Moon in the
second has
given an added charm of
persuasiveness to her
powers of expressi on.
An abl e one must have a seri ous purpose. Thi s seri ous-
ness i s the resul t of a strong and benefi ci al Saturn. If to thi s

the individual is sincere. Sincerity is a typical characteristic
of Aries and Leo, and to a large extent that of Aquarius. Of
the

Theatrical ability is conferred by Aquarius and by the

l s bound to make a name as an actress of rare
gi fts. It i s i n
this light that one can collect data for a careful assessment
of the contributions
made by severai
planets. Once we
know the abilities that are conferred
on us and regulated by
the
planets, we can make the best use of our
gifts and
talents.

of the temperament
and
tastes,
of the
qualities and profession of a
person, is a very
difficult task. This is complicated by a number of factors,
chi ef among them i s the
questi on, of the newl y di scovered
planets. When life was not as complex as it is today, when
man was mapping out his spiritual destiny, when man was
setti ng
hi s own home i n order i n the l i ght of a spi ri tual i deal ,
he could interpret almost all events by considering the five
m4j or
pl anets
(Mars, Mercury, Jupi ter, Venus and Saturn),
Sun, Moon' and the two nodes. Today we can do
j usti ce
to
the science of astrology by agreeing to consider the
part
played by the new
planets, and by assigning a place to them
in the
general framework drawn by our ancient seers.
Whether this is an advisable
procedure or not, depends on
the correctness
of the
predictions made.

594 TEXT BOOK OF SCTENTInIC ITINDU ASTROLOOY
Accepting this hypothesis for purposes
of scientlfic in-
vesti gati on, and wi thout upsetti ng the Indi an method of
assigning the signs to the
planets,
we tentatively asslgn
Pluto to Scorpio, Neptune to Pisces, Uranus to Aquarius and
the asteriods to Pisces as part-owners
of these signs. Here
we follow the principle
of the distance in which a planet is
found with reference to the Sun. Such a principle
would of
course compel us to assi gn Jupi ter to Aquari us. The Sun
and the Moon have a general
influence over all the signs in
a horoscope of an earthly being in so far as the Sun is the
centre of the system to which we belong, and the Moon is
our own satel l i te.
Leaving aside the Moon and the Sun, we have ten
houses, each house containing thirty degrees. Just as a
living organism is a microcosm of the macrocosm, each
sign represents itself and also the rest. In this light we have
our Vargas.
Before we proceed further, we would like to make it
clear that we do not accept all that
goes
under the name of
Western astrology. Thus, for instance, we do not condemn
the opposi ti on between pl anets
as mal efi c. The opposi ti on
like conjunction is a variable factor, and its nature depends
on the nature of the pl anets. Further, the cardi nal poi nts
i n
the zodiac are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Aries and
Libra are lBO degrees apart; and they have a certain simi-
larity. This similarity would make us group
the twelve signs
into six pairs; and the units to be interpreted would then be
sixty only.
Next, it may be pointed that we are trying to offer a
correct interpretation to the mental characteristics and of
the
possi be professi ons
of the nati ves. Consequentl y the
houses
(bhavas)
to be noted are the fi rst, fourth, seventh
and tenth, besi des the fi fth and the ni nth. When mal efi c
associations are found in the cusps of these houses, or in
the
posi ti ons
of the owners of these houses, then they
become afflicted; otherwise they are treated as benefic.
Finally, it may be pointed
out that the interpretation of
5o.l ' wi l l have to be sought under the fourth degree not
under the [hi rd. Wherever i t i s possi bl e and desi rabl e, i l -
l ustrati ons are gi ven to faci l i tate an understandi ng of these
interpretative remarks. All the degrees refer to the Nirayana
or fixed zodiac.

60.2 TEXT BOOK OF SCIENTIFIC TIINDU ASTROLOOY
The l Oth house i s general l y
admi tted to be the house
indicating profession.
Here until and unless it is speciflcally
mentioned, readers are requested to treat the house as the
equivalent for Bhava. The lOth is the meridian, the point
at
right angle to the place
at the time of the birth. It is the
zenith. From the zenith to the Ascendant we have four
houses which indicate profession, gains, loss and the gen-
eral life respectively. In other words, in the study of
profes-
sion we cannot ignore any one of these houses, even
though the lOth is the most important one. Moreover, the
nature of the profession
is also dependent on the educa-
tional qualifications
and mental qualities
of the native.
These would necessitate a consideration of the 4th and the
5th houses.
Besides these, there are a few more important points
to
be examined. The dasamsa
(or
tenth fraction of a sign) of
the Ascendant plays
as much part
as the lOth house. Then
we have to see in what sign and house is the lord of the
lOth situated; the position gf
the lord of that house in the
Navamsa is another vital factor. The aspects to the loth
house and its lord of that house in the Navamsa is another
vital factor. The aspects to the I Oth house and its lord and
the association of other planets
with the loth house and
with the lord of the loth house are also important. This
would make it appear that the determination of the profes-
sion would depend on a thorough examination of the entire
horoscope. It is so; and there is no short cut. It is the
ignorance of a majority of these factors that has led to the
faulty predictions
on this problem.
To come back to the I Oth house, it refers to the practi-
cal side of one's life; as it is the exact opposite of the
fourth, it indicates the life outside one's home. Judging
from the nature of the horoscope, one has to predict
the
possibility or otherwise of an active life. This applies even
to the horoscopes of women. ln other words, the lOth
describes or indicates the way in which the person
ex-
presses himself in his social or public life. In the light of
these remarks, we can present
in broad outline the views
found in our traditional texts.

Mars indicates
a military line; in con-
nection with Mercury,
the medical line; and in conjuction
with Saturn it can be an undesirable
one. Religion,
busi_

by Mercury.
Teaching

philosophy
and service appear
with
Saturn. This may again be viewed thus: When the Sun is
located in the tenth we can speculate
a military or a political
career. The Moon will suggest
a religious, philosophical
or
emotional life. Agriculture,
machinery,
surgery
and army are
indicated by Mars.
Above all, the astrologer
will have to see whether
the
native possesses
the right character
and ability to carry out
the duti es and responsi bi l i ti es
i mpl i ed
by the ,ar"L,
or
czreers indicated.
To this end, one has to examine
the
Ascendant
carefully. Moreover,
an ascendant
has a predis,
position
to certain professions
and this may be appiieO
to
the loth house also. what foilows appries

that is, he has the spirit of adventure.

The

Cancer or Karka tends to commercial life or to a serious
preoccupation with ancient history. Antiquarians, curio collec-
tors, archaeologists and historians are found here. Any career
involving some connection with nautical life is successful
for Cancer. One can be best fitted here for a visionary
career.
l,eo or Simha tends to the dreaming about utopias. Lead-
ership and self-confidence
play a part in the choice of career
for one born in Leo. He is a successful administrator, artist, or
actor. Armed services, civil services, finance and law are the
suitable careers. Simha is very dynamic and active; and it can
make one even an officer connected with the forests.

Scorpio has a good deal to favour the vocations of a
physician, chemist or nurse. It also indicates
priests, phi'
losophers, mystics and astrologers. At times we find detec'
tives,
politicians and critics too. Under favourable Martian
i nfl uences one can be an engi neer, a craftsman, or a me-
chanic. Anthropologists
and geographers, intelligence offic-
ers and explorers
are also found under this sign. It is a sign
conferring
a kind of versatility which may not be of any use.

Sagittarius or Dhanus carries with it a certain amount of
versatility which makes the prediction
of a career a little
difficult. The native can be interested in sport and horses. He
will be deeply interested in freedom. He may become a
teacher, a preacher,
an organiser. He needs a close adapta-
tion of his career with his personal
outlook. The Sagittarian
knows how to get
on in life; and a consciousness of this
knowledge often lands him in trouble.
Capricorn or Makara makes one industrious. The native
succeeds in routine occupations, in office work, in agriculture
and mi ni ng. Capri corni ans rarel y succeed when they l eave

both these traits find a free play.
In predicting the profession

she has more masculine vargas here, she will have career
of her own.

The Jataka Pariiata is more helpful. There we re4d:
'From
the lOth house
you can ascertain a person's author-
ity, rank, ornaments,
dress, activities, agriculture, renuncia-
t i on, r el i gi ous
act i vi t i es, means of l i vel i hood, and
fame"
(5.1). Natural l y the
professi on depends on one' s
education,
his mental make-up and such other factors.
Then the l st, the 4th, the Sth and the l Oth have to be
considered.
Before we
Proceed
further, let us take an ex-
ampl e. If the l Oth house from the Ascendant
has Mercury,
and the l Oth from the Sun and the Moon have Mars and
Rahu, and i f the l ords of these houses are Jupi ter and
Venus who are i n Navamsas owned by Saturn and Jupi ter
respectively,
then we have to examine Mercury, Mars, Rahu,
Jupiter,
Venus and Saturn. The Moon as the lord of the 5th
house also enters the
picture. This is too complex
a situa-
ti on.
Bhattotpala
does not say that we have to reckon only
from the strongest
among the Ascendant,
the Sun and the
Moon. He
quotes Carga to support hi s contenti on that ev-
eryone
of these shoul d be consi dered
for determi ni ng the
source of i ncome. We have al so to ascertai n whether the
planet is in its own house, in its sign of exaltation,
in a
fri end' s
house, or i n an i ni mi cal si gn. l f the
pl anets are
malefic for that chart, there will be
great labour and little
l ncome. If the Sun i s strong and exal ted, then one earns by
hi s own exerti on.
The
profession of a native is to be
judged
from the

the l Oth; and i f there i s none,
irom those in the I st and from those aspecting the Sun and
the Moon. Moreover, the
pl anet posi ted very near the Sun or
the I Oth also has an influence
in this matter.
Jataka Pariiatadeclares
that we must find out whether
the Ascendant

by the l ord of the l Oth, the pl anets near the Sun and near
the lOth-these have to be considered carefully. Then note
the kind of triplicity to which the concemed sign belongs.
An airy sign indicates mental powers, planning, oratory,
fluency. A fiery sign suggests force of character,
grit, ability,
self-aggressiveness, factories, dangerous pursuits, surgery,
dentistry. An earthy sign gives patience, planning for mate-
ri al wel fare, agri cul ture, foodstuffs, stocks and shares,
clothes,
gardening, and immovable properties. A watery
si gn suggests l i qui ds, commerci al travel l ers, agenci es,
dress-makers, furniture shops, laundries, hospital chemists
and druggists, nurses, salesmen, navigation and so on.
The Sun refers to royal or state appointments and
favours, mi ni sters, magi strates, medi cal
persons, gdl d-
smiths and doctors.
The Moon refers to travellers, sailors, hawkers, nurses,
publ i c commondi ti es, mi d-wi ves.
Mars
governs iron, cutlery, machines, surgeons, chem-

cians, butchers and barbers.
Mercury
governs orators, teachers, accountants, poets,
authors, editors,
printers, mathematicians, merchants, in-
surance, messengers, conjurors, buffoons, dancing mas-
ters, sentinels,
painters, grammarians, dialecticians, and
health officials.
Venus
governs pleasurable and aesthetic pursuits. Here
are artists, musicians, actors, perfumers,

judges,
scholars, university
professors, grammarians, phi-

Saturn rules varied professions. Saturn on the cusp of
the lOth
gives
eminence, authority, and power. Saturn re'

Some Professions
I. Diplomacy
In the olden days foreign travel was by sea and the
Uatery signs (Cancer,
Scorpio and
pisces)
were considered.
Now it is by air and we have to reckon with the airy signs
(cemini,
Libra and Aquarius).
Foreign

l ndi cated by the 9th and l 2th houses and thei r l ords. We
have also to note whether these are in movable
or common
si gns.
The purpose

abroad i s determi necl
by the l st, 4th and l Oth houses and by thei r l ords make an
account of Paradesa
saham and Jataprathana
saham. The first
is obtained
by deducting
the longitude
of the 9th lord from the
Iongitude of the 9th house and then adding that of the Lagna.
When the Lagna does not fall between
the first two, aOd SO
degrees. The Saham and its lord must be related
to the Lagna
or the 9th house. The Saham should be aspected by the lord
of the 7th,
gfh
or l 2th house.
The lords of the 4 or
g
and Mercury indicate foreign
travel
for study. The lords of 9 or lO refer to the reasons of career.
The lords of 2 or I I can refer to financial reasons.
lords of l

Here we take into consideration Uranus and Neptune.
For the sake of convenience the charts are given
according
to the Ayanamsa of lahiri. It may be noted that diplomacy
involves secrecy, tact and other things. This makes us con-
sider the 8th house and Scorpio as well.
The first chart is that of a distinguished and devout
diplomat who was with the Indian embassy in Syria, France
and other places.
Here Saturn as lord of 9 and I O is in the
8th aspected by the lord of the 8th. Saturn as "prasiddha

Cemini and Sagittarius have played
a m4jor role
-
one of
them being airy. The 9th is a movable sign which is partly
watery aspected by a debilitated Mars from a watery sign.
This can be a reason why he could not rise up to the highest
posi ti on i n the embassy.

attitude towards our country changed in our favour. The I Oth
lord is in Lagna. The 5th
(tact,
shrewd intellect etc.) is
aspected by its own lord from a watery sign. The 7th and 8th
lords are together in the watery 5rd; Jupiter aspects the 5th
and 6th lord Saturn. Scorpio and the moveable Cancer has
made him a successful diplomat. Saturn also aspects the
Lagna and the 8th.
A
good
aspect between Mars and Uranus reveals energy,
deci si veness and wi l l -power whi ch are needed i n di pl o-
macy. A similar aspect between Saturn and Uranus
gives
initiative and good will-power. Foresight and tact result from
a benefi c aspect between Saturn and Neptune. Thus we fi nd
i n the 5rd chart the l ords of 9 and l O, I and 5 and 5 are i n
the secreti ve 7th. Saturn and Uranus are conj unct Venus.

ln the third chart Venus as lord of Lagna is with the

Lagna and the 9th or their mutual aspects do indicate foreign
travels. But within this framework we have to note the factors
mentioned above for determining whether a native can be
employed as a diplomat abroad.

Apart from the usual l y accepted
pl anets and thei r

reveal many a benefic aspect in the career of the native. An
affliction to these points
will either negative the results
conferred by them or reveal the malefic side of these influ-
ences. At the same time, the general
framework of the
horoscope may at times aggravate or suppress the effects
of these
points.
Alf these sensitive points refer to the Nirayana zodiac. lt
is the fixed or constellation zodiac that can carry these
sensitive points
unvaryingly. In studying these points, it is
profitable
to study the new planets
Uranus, Neptune and
Pluto. Such a study is bound to decide for us the answer for
the questi on
concerni ng thei r i nfl uence on human l i fe. For
those who are willing to accept them, we assign Asteroids to
Pisces, Jupiter to Aquarius, Uranus to Sagittarius, Neptune
to Scorpio, and Pluto to Libra as part-rulers.
Taking this as
a tentative hypothesis, we may examine their influence.
After this examination we may reject these
planets
or ac-
cept them. It is to facilitate such a study we propose
to
show the part played
by some sensitive points in the nativi-
ties of politicians.
The tenth degree of Aries is one of a struggle to realize
an ideal. The native can one day become a self-made man
through his own strong will. Cifted with a horse sense he
will be a tough warrior either in life or in war or in both. He
never hesitates and he knows what he wants. Tamberlaine's
Sun was located here. The ninth degree is slightly the re-
verse of this one. It brings forth unforeseen situations which
cannot easi l y be overcome; and the nati ve' s fai l ure may be
due to his lack of
generosity.
Mars and Saturn were con-
junct
in this degree when England declared war on Qer,
many i n 1959; and Hi tl er' s Sun was here. These posi ti ons
have, of course, to be studied not in isolation, but in con-
nection with the other relevant planets
and their positions.
Then alone can we arrive at the influence of the sensitive
points selecfed here for study.
The 23rd degree of Aries is magnetic. lt inspires people
and makes them come under the i nfl uence of the nati ve. He
will set forth original ideas and can unconsciously shape
the future, though the native is free from tender and refined

emotions. Karl Marx's Sun appears here. Whether this posi-
tion is really responsible for the
present
status of the teach-
ings of Marx has to be ascertained from the horoscope.
The 5rd degree of Taurus is an enigmatic one. None can
know the mind of the native, though anyone can see that he
l s arrogant enough. Havi ng no i ntel l ectual or emoti onal
communi on wi th any fel l ow human bei ng, he can at ti mes
take up a violent path to assert himself. His end will be
pitiable and ignoble. This degree can be studied profitably
In the horoscope of Pierre l-aval. Here we find a good
deal
that has so far eluded the politicians and diplomats in the
character and achievements of laval.
The l5th degree of Cancer can either confer
great spiri-
tual
powers
or release undesirable violence. lt is a degreL of
aggresiveness. The native may behave with a definite pur-
pose, wi th a speci fi c mi ssi on i n l i fe. He wi l l be uni que. It
can also make him highly arrogant and intolerably showy.
Blsmarck's ascendant falls here. Mussolini's Sun and Mer-
cury are conjoined here.
The l Tth degree of Cancer is a degree of tremendous
wi l l power, of cool determi nati on. Once he deci des on an
i ssue, i t wi l l not be possi bl e to make hi m al ter hi s i deas and
plans. His prejudices are not apt to be shaken easily; and so
are his likes.'
The 22nd degree of Cancer is a highly sensitive point
ani mated by power, by a power of whi ch the nati ve i s
conscious. If this point is not afflicted, it gives
rise to lofty
and nobl e aspi rati ons,' otherwi se i t l eads to vai n ambi ti ons.
The degree carries the marks of a powerful administrator
who is also humane and kind. The horoscope of the Octo-
ber Revol uti on, 1917, shows Saturn here, not unaffl i cted.
A headstrong and tough temper characterises the 25th
degree of Cancer. At times, it reveals bad behaviour and a
cgrtain roughness. The native has to face many an obstacle.
Clbmencau's Venus is found here; and this explains partly
the infamous character revealed by the Versailles Treaty.
The 5rd degree of Leo at times reveals duplicity. It
reveals an innovator, an author of a new cult, one who
exploits his study of the past for his own future..lt presents

a versatile intellect and rare psychical powers. It is not a
little surprising to find flapolean's Sun here. The 23rd de-
gree of this sign is in some ways a complement to the
above. This point shows the victorious unruffled nature of
the native. There is a serene atmosphere coupled with an
unswen'ing faith in providence. Dasily adaptable to any
situation, he is spiritually happy. He has the unique gift of
enjoying the manifestations of the beautiful. It is very inter-
esting to find Nepolean's Mars here.
The l Tth degree of Virgo reveals a noble character
dominated by a love of freedom and by a relentless struggle
towards the realization of a lofty ideal with courage and
sincerity, wisdom and virtue, the native
proceeds. Aided by
highly developed critical faculties, he makes himself felt. An
affliction here is a serious thing leading to walnvard and
reckless life which may then be characterised by peevish'
ness and fault-finding. One can study Hindenburg's Sun on
this
point.
The 27th degree of Virgo indicates rulership. It endows
a
great many
good qualities of the head and heart. At times
these
qualities do co-exist with a heartless and selfish
behaviour. The native develops his
powers of observation
and understanding;
he manipulates the circumstances to
enable himself to
go higher and higher in the scale. lle does
not allow chance to operate in his affairs. An afflicted de-
gree will make him ungrateful and devoid of softer feelings.
At any rate, he will be a complex
personality, rarely under-
stood by his own age. Still he succeeds in carrying the
public with him. The Darl of Beaconsfield's ascendant falls
here; and it can be examined carefully in this light.
The 28th degree of Viryo reveals an outstanding charac-
ter who is an intellectual and who is also really human to
the course. There will be also a deeper vein of the religion.
Ramsay Mac Donald's Sun is to be found here.
The 23rd degree of Libra shows a man of destiny who is
bound to become an important international figure of
great
power and authority. With
great self-confidence and actu-
ated by a steadfast
purpose, he
pushes his way through.
Appearing
ets an altruist, he suppresses
his real feelings.

Fate remains on his side and gives him an inflexible will. His
remarkable
powers
of intellect make him an expert of no
mean order in stratery. It is no wonder that Napoleon's
ascendant falls here. Sir John French's ascendant and
Clbmenceau's Moon also appear here.
The first degree of Scorpio
presents the reverse of the
above. lt reveals a very harsh destiny. Napoleon lll had his
Saturn here. The
polarities are strongly emphasised in the
lSth degree of Sagittarius. One can be the most innocent
character or the most blood-thirsty and ambitious con-
queror. We find here the ascendant of Tamberlane. The

poi nt s t o a deep and
unquenchable
thirst for absolute power. This degree is par-
ticularly significant in Napoleon's nativity; the
presence
of
Pluto here may provide a clue to the real nature of the
lnfluences of Pluto.
The second degree of Capricorn is a highly constructive
spot. Intellectual and utilitarian aspects come out promi-
nently
in close ceoperation. The native may be said to be a
creature of fortune; he will not only be elevated when the
wheel of fortune takes hi m up, but al so hurl hi m down.
Such is the Moon's position in the nativity of Woodrow
Wi l son.
The second degree of Aquarius reveals a very bright
mlnd which is not allowed a smooth
Passage.
The native
will remain unhappy inspite of his
qreat
achievements.
Lincoln's Sun appears here.
A revolutionary temper is revealed by the third degree of
Pisces. The native will have keen
powers of observation and
many devoted followers. But he often falls a victim to the
mean. Robespierre's nativity reveals this aspect clearly'
The seventh degree of Pisces forebodes an overvaulting
ambition combined with tremendous innate energy. lt is a
naturally aggressive
point, and it is capable of making the
native drift'?nto base malice. This was the degree occupied
by the Sun in the horoscope of the Third Reich. It is the
ninth degree which carries this envy further; and Neptune
was here in the horoscope of Lloyd Ceorge, whose slogan
'Hang
the l{aiser' is not likely to be foryotten.

The l2th degree of Pisces is a degree of obscurity. lt
disables the individual for some time at least; and then the
nati ve undergoes the dark ni ght of the soul . Cen. de
Gabble's Moon is situated here. The next degree is one of
easy ascent and of a sudden fal l at the same ti me.
Togliatti's Sun is found here. The 24th degree, on the other
hand, is an exception. It is a point of ambition and struggle
involving risk; and
yet it is capable of making the individual
exceptional and unique. It can make one selfish or altruis-
tic. Bismarck's Sun was situated here.
3. Judiciary
Law is one of the intellectual
professions. It demands a
strong Sth house and an equally strong lord of the 5th
house. Airy signs have to be prominent-Cemini, Libra and
Aquarius. The planet governing law is Jupiter, while Saturn
i s the
pl anet of
j usti ce.
Besides these two major planets, there are others in-
volved. Mars regulates energy and the initiatory force.
Jataka Parijata observes that one having Jupiter in the 9th
aspected by the Moon and Saturn becomes an exponent of
l aw
(14.72); and that Mars associ ated wi th Venus al so
gi ves
the l egal
professi on
(14.76).
The second observati on i s
debatable since it refers neither to Jupiter, nor to Saturn,
nor to Mercury.
The lOth lord
placed in the 6th brings the native to-
wards the
judiciary.
Libra
generally governs lawyers, solici'
tors and
judges.
Jupiter or Saturn in the lOth in Libra refers
to the law. The same result arises when Jupiter and Mercury
are i n Ari es or Sagi ttari us i n the l oth. The Sun i n Gemi ni
refers to an analytical study of law. Aquarius is another
powerful legal sign. The 6th house seems to have some-
thi ng to do wi th the
j udi ci ary.
We wi l l expl ai n some of these
principles with the help of examples. Chart 4 is that of the
first President of our Republic. The I Oth lord Mercury is with

4. Poets
Architecture, sculpture,
painting, music, dance and po-
etry
(literature) are the traditionally established six fine arts'
Some forty
years back Herbert Read argued that the film is
the seventh fine art. Those who have creatively contributed
to these are the artists.
The artist needs an active imagination. Imagination is
expressed
more clearly by the fiery and watery signs. Psy-
chologically
speaking, the fiery signs reveal the projection
of the soul i nLo the external worl d. The nature and acti vi ty
of the sel f can be guaged from these si gns. Asserti on
(Ar-
i es), mani festati on
(Leo)
and devel opment
(Sagi ttari us) of
the sel f are
governed or regul ated by the wi l l i n these si gns'
These are highly
Positive
signs.
The watery signs are negative. Preservation

at the external world as a means to an end. Libra gives
the
power
to collate, choose and adjust. Aquarius enables the
native to apprehend natural facts as illustrating universal
laws. Interrelationships of the various forms of life are aV
prehended as real.
Cemini, Virgo and Sagittarius generate great
mental ac-
tivity. If Mercury or the Moon is aspected by Mars or Uranus
this activity becomes greater.
Philosophical activity needs
argumentative and critical powers. Argumentative skills are
noti ceabl e when Mars i s i n Gemi ni or i n the 3rd, or when
there is a powerful aspect of Mercury or Jupiter. Critical
powers are indicated by Taurus and Virgo. Strong Cemini is
fascinated by details. The powers
of the concentration
seem to be devel oped strongl y by fi xed si gns. Immanuel
Kant, with whom begins modern Western philosophy,
had
Taurus rising.
Philosophers of the idealistic school are found with
strong fiery signs, Libra and Aquarius. They are associated
least with Saturn and the earthy signs. Intellectual powers
are indicated by the Lagna, the 5rd house and the house of
Mercury. The metaphysical strain is revealed by Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune and the 9th house. El ertrand Russel has
Uranus in the 9th aspected by Saturn from the 5rd. Sri
Kri shna and Kant had Saturn i n the 9th house. Saturn i n the
9th i s an asset to the metaphysi ci ans.
The Sun in trine or sextile to Saturn

Leo, Aquari us and the Sun are the most i nqui si ti ve. A

profundity is revealed by strong Saturn and Uranus,
their aspects on the 9th or as the lord of the 9th. The

With this background let me consider the charts of
some famous
philosphers. We follow the sequence of the
rising signs.

expressed
primarily in the Bhagvad Gita. The rising sign is
a

their own lords, Jupiter aspecting the Sun, and Satum in the
9th have
given an idealistic twist to his teaching. The oppo-
sition of the Moon to Mars
gives vigour and combativeness,
the square between the Sun made hi m i ntel l ectual ; and he
was also more interested in the objective
problems be-
cause
of this.
That a close conjunction of Sun and Mercury deprives
the nature of an impersonal
and impartial
judgement is
falsified by Chart 58. This is the chart of Immanuel Kant, the
founder of modern Philosophy.
He brought about a Coper-
nican revolution
in metaphysics
by tuming the
philoso-
phers' attention from the object to the subject' Saturn in
the 9th made him an idealist. Saturn is in his own house

The conjunction
of the
Sun and Mercury
gives great powers to
perception and deep
contemplation,
and it denies flexibility. The square between
the Sun and Jupiter
gives a philosophical bent, vigorous
lntellect
and a tendency to sharp invective.
Chart 59 is that of Sir William Hamilton who revived the
tradition
of realism in British
Philosophy. The rising sign is

which is visible in his commentary on the Tarka Pada. The
Sun in trine to Saturn gave him painstaking
thought and
systematic reasoning. Mental profundity is shown by Saturn
in the
philosophical
Sagittarius. Satum aspects the lord of
the 9th who has exchanged signs with him. Two strong fiery
signs, Jupiter in Aquarius and well aspected Libra made
him an unshakable monist. The Sun sextile to the Moon and
Jupiter
gave
him success without much stnrggle. As with
Kant, so here this
position firmly established Sri Sankara as
the strong founder and defender of idealistic monism.

remarked: "ln astrology and psychology
one has to step
beyond the physi cal worl d of matter, and enter i nto the do-
mai n of transcendent spi ri t." Varahami hi ra and others, there-
fore, emphasized that the astrologer must have a sound mor-
al character, a fi ne spi ri tual devel opment, and Vaksi ddhi
(i ntui ti on).
The need for these qual i ti es
becomes cl ear when
we study the charts of cri mi nal s.
Let us consi der the sensi ti ve areas and pl anets before we
i l l ustrate cri me. To detect a homi ci dal tendency, we have to
l ook at the Sun. There are vi ol ent affl i cti ons to the Sun,
Cancer and Pi sces. The Bth degrees of Cancer and Capri corn,
and the l 5th degrees of Vi rgo and Pi sces are i nvol ved. The
fi rst 5 or 4 degrees, 18th and l 9th degrees of the fi xed si gns,
26th degree of Taurus and Scorpio, 25th degree of Aries also
appear to be i mportant. Usual l y Lagna i s affl i cted by the Sun,

Cri mi nal i ty needs cruel ty and thi s poi nts to affl i cted Mars
and Scorpio. Saturn and Mars are in adverse aspects, mutu-
al l y; and the Moon, Venus and Jupi ter are badl y pl aced.
One

G,42 TEXT BOOK OF SCTENTIFIC ITINDU ASTBOLOOY
Most cases of criminality and all cases of illness in-
volved the
glands.
A brief idea of these from an astrological
point
of view is necessary. Aries rules the pineal and the
pituitary glands.
The
pineal gland is behind the third ven-
tricle of the brain. The pituitary secrets phlegm and mucus.
It i s ductl ess and i s at the base of the brai n. Taurus control s
the thyroid which is a ductless gland situated on larynx or
trachea, the seat of
goitre.
Qemini has pancreas
which is
near the stomach discharging a digestive secretion into the
duodenum.
Leo rul es the thymus, a ductl ess
gl and
near the base of
the neck. Vi rgo refers to the l i ver. Li bra control s adrenal i n, a
hormone secreted by the adrenal ductl ess gl ands and affect-
i ng ci rcul ati on and muscul ar acti on. Scorpi o refers to the
Prostrate and Oonad. Qonad i s an undi fferenti ated
germ
gland serving both as ovary and spermary. Sagittarius is cata-
bol i c, whi l e Pi sces i s anabol i c. Capri corn and Aquari us rul e
the nervous system, the former is function while the latter is
structural . Saturn control s the val ves and the brai n. On the
metabol i c si de Sagi ttari us refers to asthi
(bone),
mamsa
(muscl e),
nyasti , and medha
(fat);
whi l e Pi sces refers to the
watery dhatus and vasa. Lymphatic interior comes under
Rahu, while Ketu governs lymphatic exterior.
Similarly let us note the basic elements. Mars refers to
phosphorus and sul phur. Mercury i s rel ated to magnesi um,
Venus to Calcium, Jupiter to Sodium, and Saturn to Potas-
si um.
As a schol ar observed,
-the
Dhatus are the supporti ng
roots-rather the constituent ingredients of the body but for
whose i ntrusi on sudden cessati on of al l anabol i c acti vi ti es are
percei ved". When these Dhatus and the Tri doshas are not i n
a state of harmony,
physi cal and mental troubl es emerge. We

physi ol ogi cal factors i n accounti ng for the behavi our of the
cri mi nal s.
Whi l e studyi ng the factors that make a person a cri mi nal ,
it is better to

and Mercury are in the constellations of Rahu. During the

in kendras

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

debilitated Mars. Saturn and the Sun too are afflicted by
Mars. Mercury, Venus and the Moon are i n the constel l a-

too is afflicted by Mars and Saturn. In the chart of another
dacoit, we find Aries rising, with the 7th house having the
Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn. The lords
of the 5rd and the Sth are afflicted, and so is Lagna.

six. The liver is the source in six. The pancreas
comes in
four charts. In fixing the cause of criminality in glands
and
in relating it to the lymph, anabolism, or catabolism we
need the help of the medical profession. If that help is
available, one can correlate the astrological findings with
the
physiological and mental factors.
Crime can appear in a variety of forms. Some forms
refer to sex, slander or libel, kidnapping, misappropriation
or embezzlement, arson, loot and murder. Since the dis-
guises are manifold it is proposed to deal here only with
these involving murder.
The Uttara Kalamrtta states that one of the significa-
tions of the sixth house is
-ugra
karma-- cruel or violent
acti ons
(5.1O),
and that the ei ghth house refers al so to
'ugra
kriyasu udyamah-- initiating or indulging in violent or
cruel deeds
(5.16).

drekkana, he has a wicked mind
(papa

bad repute
(9.116).
When the Navamsa of the Sun i s

If he is bom in the Dwadasamsa of Scorpio, he delights in

When there i s the conj uncti on of the Sun, Moon
and Mercury in the ninth, the native is cruel and is engaged
i n forbi dden acts
(14.78).
Al l these have to be careful l y
examined in a
given
chart since they can
get modified and
trarrsformed. A blind or verbatim application of the prin-
ciples
given in these and other texts need great care and
observation.
Mars and Saturn are the significators of cruelty and so
are the sixth and the eighth houses. We have also to con-
sider the third house indicating the lower mind, the fifth
house showing motivation, and the twelfth referring to the
denial of comforts.
Cruelty
proper involves Mars, Scorpio, and also the
mutual afflictions between Mars and Saturn. The afflictions
between Mars and Neptune refer to the subtl e and di abol i c
nature of cruelty. Those between Mars and Uranus make the
crime ruthless. Mars is generally pronrinent in the charts of
cri mi nal s and so i s Cemi ni , the thi rd house of the fi xed
zodiac. The placement of the malefics or Lagna in the first
quarter of fl asta
(Kanya
l O".O' to l 3o.2O' ) i s equal l y i ndi ca-
tive of crime.
Destructiveness refers to Mars and Uranus. Since crime
involves hatred, we have to consider Mars, Scorpio, Satum
and Uranus. Homicidal tendencies refer to the Sun, Aries
and Leo. Other areas involved in crime are 6"40' to I O"O' of
Cancer and Capricorn, lO"O' to 13"20' of Virgo and Pisces,
the first 3o2O' and the 16"40' to 2OoO' of the fixed signs.
The last 3"2O' of movable signs and 23"20' to 26040' of
Taurus and Scorpio and Aries are equally significant. The
adverse contacts of Venus with Mars or Uranus may refer to
sex as the cause of the crime.

Sun-Mars afflictions prevent
the growth
of finer feelingp
and emoti ons. Si nce the Moon and Mercury have much to
do wi th the emoti ons and the mi nd, thei r mutual affl i cti ons
can set the mi nd movi ng i n undesi rabl e di recti ons. When
Mercury and Neptune are subject to mutual affliction and
when enough indications also come from the Moon and
Mars, the native tends to be violent.
By referring also to Uranus and Neptune we are not
crlticising or rejecting the traditional Indian system. If we
can get additional support from these extra-saturnine plan-
ets, and i f they can pi n-poi nt
the i nci dent or tendency, we
bel i eve that there i s no harm i n taki ng these al so i nto
consideration. The Mahabharata refers to Mahapata (Uia-
nus), Sveta
(Neptune)
and some unnamed pl anet
that l ooks
like Pluto. When Varahamihira praised
Yavanas (lonians)
as
having well preserved
the science of astrology, there is no
harm i n consi deri ng these pl anets
al so.
We take up a few illustrations to focus the attention of
the students and scholars of astrology on the role of Mars,
Saturn and Rahu al ong wi th that of Uranus and Neptune i n

Mercury involving the fifth house does indicate criminal
propensities. The togetherness of Jupiter and Rahu is Ouru-
Chandala Yoga and this
jupiter
is afflicted by Saturn, the
lord of the eighth and the ninth. He is with Uranus in the
twelfth. The lagna has Mars, the lord of the sixth. From
Arudha Iagna this happens to be the fifth house. From
Chandra Lagna the fifth lord is in the eighth with Uranus,
whi l e the si xth l ord i s i n the tenth wi th Rahu. Al l these
factors do show the magnitude of the crimes the native is
capable of committing.
Dacoit Mansingh has Jupiter in Scorpio Lagna, with
Mars in the eighth and the Moon in the nlnth. Some crimi-
nals appear to have the Moon in trine to Jupiter. This may
explain their hidden or so-called pious motives, or their
longing for vengeance. The sixth lord is in the eighth and
the Lagna and the sixth are afflicted by Saturn from the
fourth. The fifth is aspected by exalted Mercury and debili-
tated Venus. After all Mansingh became a criminal under
the force of compelling circumstances.

of
crime are of immense value to society. By determining the

n the diagnosis of diseases we are apt to pay attention to
r
the sixth and eighth houses in a chart. We do take other
factors also into consideration. But if we pay attention to
the constellation in which these planets
and luminaries are
located, we rvill be able to pay head to the part
of the body
affected. Also, the constellations are classified into the
three characteristics called Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. The
features indicated by these can be understood from a close
study of the chapter i n the Ci ta cal l ed
"Ouna
traya
Vibhaga". Only it should be understood that these do not
signify qualities but substances as explained in
'SA"l\KflyA
TATTVA KALJIIILJDI" Thus
'Tamas'
refers to the gross physi-
cal body;
'R4jas'
to the subtle body called Sukshma sharira;
and
'Sattava'
to the causal
(karana)
body. When the lord
asked Arjuna to be
'nistraigunya',
he meant that we should
transform these three into the
'Maha
karana sharira'. We
use the letters S, R and T after each constellation and show
the
part
of the body governed by each.

Some of the usual ai l ments affl i cti ng human bei ngs are
astrologically interesting. Most of these elude our
grasp
because some of these affl i cti ons are more mental . For
instance, take hypocrisy. How should we detect a hypocrite
from the horoscope? In our experi ence, the vol ati l e and
flexible planet Mercury has a good deal to say on this
questi on; and so i s Mars. The conj uncti on of Mars and
Mer cur yi snot aver y desi r abl eone, i f i t i si n 1, 5, 7 or 9f r om
the ascendant; and i f any pl anet were to be associ ated wi th
these two, then the nati ve wi l l not be a hypocri te. The
conjunction is valid if it takes
place
within eight degrees,
and i f i t i s al so i n the same constel l ati on. Si mi l arl y an
affl i cted Mercury i n the ni hth house al ong wi th a mal efi c i s
bound to
gi ve the same feature. The ni nth denotes the
hi gher mi nd and i ts opposi te l ooks after the l ower mi nd. If
Mars i s i n the thi rd wi thout any benefi c aspects, the same
resul t wi l l fol l ow. The conj uncti on of the l ords of the fourth
and ni nth houses i n the si xth i s another i ndi cati on. If Ari es
i s the ascendant wi th Mercury posi ted
theri en, the same
resul t wi l l fol l ow. Thi s hypocri sy wi l l be percepti bl e i n the
emoti onal l i fe of the i ndi vi dual i f Saturn, Mars and Rahu are
i n conj uncti on
preferabl y
i n 3,6,4 or 9 from the ascendant.
Al ong wi th these i ndi cati ons, one has to l ook i nto the other
factors also before pronouncing a
judgment.
If Mars is in the third house aspected by the Moon and
Mercury, one has a tendency to betray those who believe in
hi m. Mercury i n the si xth house i s undesi rabl e for those
born under Cemi ni or Vi rgo. The conj uncti on of the Sun
and Jupiter in the ninth from Karakamsa l,agna is bad for
the same reason.

of these signs there is the conjunction of Shani and Rahu, one
has the inflamation of the kidney. For kidney ailments, we
have to look to the afflicted houses of Venus, Mars and Saturn
and to the sixth and seventh houses.
If the third and eighth from lagna and the karaka have the
vargas of Vrishabha and Dhanus, and these are occupied by
Mars one suffers from boils or tumours. Boils and skin erup,
ti ons are rel ated to Vi rgo, Scorpi o, Li bra, Saturn and Mars.
Haemorrhoi ds refer to affl i cted Scorpi o and Jupi ter. Mars and
Uranus are i nvol ved i n surgi cal treatment. Ovari an tumors
i nvol ve Venus and Cancer.
If the eighth from the atmakaraka is assosited with Mer-
cury one has di arrhoea or dysentry. Dysentry i s al so i ndi cated
by the mutual opposi ti on of the Moon and Mars or by Saturn
afflicting lhe sixth. The eighth from the lord of the Karaka is
a house owned by the Moon, acute fever can he predi cted.
Mars in the eighth from Sun produces
cancer in stomach,
bowels, head etc.
Mars produces
cancer of blood, marrow, genitals,
uterus,
neck etc.
Mercury
produces
cancer of nose, navel, mouth etc.
Jupi ter produces cancer of l i ver, ear, tongue, thi ghs etc.
Venus produces
cancer of throat, geni tal
organs etc.
Saturn produces cancer i n l egs, hands, pl aces around
teeth etc.
Rahu produces cancer in private parts
of the body.
Ketu produces cancer i n pri vate parts
of the body.
Uri nary Di seases: Li bra and Scorpi o are the seventh
and ei ghth si gns of the Zodi ac. Thei r rul ers vi z, Venus and
Mars and al so seventh and ei ghth houses from the l agna are
concerni ng wi th uri ne di seases. It i s observed that when
these houses and their lords and the Karaka planets are ill
placed and weak and if they are in any way related with the
si xth house or i ts l ord i t i ndi cates the di sease. The si gns
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are called watery signs. These
si gns al so rul e the uri ne. When Saturn i n any way i s con-

Ircprosy: Saturn and Rahu are the two main planets
which are responsible for this disease. Besides Moon, Mars,
Mercury are also reponsible for this disease. The Karaka for
blood is Mars and Moon is the cause of all blood diseases
and Mercury is the Karaka of all skin diseases and ulcers.
They work with Satum and Rahu to give rise to the disease
of leprosy.
Few indications of this disease are given below beside
those
given earlier:
(i)
Lagna is occupied by Moon and Rahu and Mars in the
seventh house.
(ii)
Afflicted Moon, Mars, Saturn and Venus in watery
signs.
(iii)
Saturn and Mars in the ninth house aspected
.by
Rahu.
(iv)
Lagna is occupied by weak Moon, Saturn and Mars in
second or twelfth, and Sun is afflicted.
(v)
lagna afflicted by Mars, Saturn and Sun; and Mercury
is weak.
Smallpox and Chickenpox: Smallpox is an acute in'
f ect i ous di sease. I t i s charact eri sed by a cut aneous
erruption. Chickenpox is also an acute infectious disease.
The rul i ng
pl anets over these di seases are Mars and
Mercury. It i s observed when these pl anets are weak and
afflicted and if they are connected with the sixth house or
its lord, they
give rise to smallpox and chickenPox. l-.ord of
the sixth when it is in retrograde motion also gives rise to
thi s di sease when Venus connected wi th the si xth house or
its lord, it puts some marks in the face, because Venus
represents face i.e. the second house in the sign of the
Zodiac. Rahu is the planet who is the Karaka for epidemic.
When Rahu i s any way connected wi th the combi nati on for
this disease, it results in an epidemic.
Bronchitis: We have observed in
quite a number of
cases that when the 4th house is afflicted by Mars, Saturn
and Rahu, the person becomes liable for attacks of bronchi-
tis any way, also gives the same result.
Diseases of the Digestive system: The 5th house
governs digestion. lt is observed that any malefic planet in

Cirhosis of liver: Any affliction in the 5th house with a
connection of 6th house indicates this disease.
There are some ai l ments whi ch can be acute. l f we can
forecast them correctly they can be controlled and cured
before they become acute. Fi rst l et us l ook at the pl anets.
Heart disease, bone fractures, leprosy, and diseases in the
head are to be read from the Sun. The Moon refers to
heart, lungs, left eye, asthma, diarrhoea, poisoning
of
bl ood, di seases from water, ki dney, di abetes, dropsy, ap-
pendi ci ti s
and other thi ngs. From Mars one can fi nd cuts,
wounds, sore-eye, poi soni ng.
boi l s, i tches, bl ood pres-
sure, bone fracture, tumour, pi l es,
ul cers, dysentery and
cancer. Mercury i ndi cates matters rel ati ng to chest, nerves,
smal l pox, chi ckenpox epi l epsy, fevers, i tches, bone frac-
tures, typhoi d, gal l bl adder, paral ysi s, ul cers, chol era and
so on. Jupi ter governs l i ver, ki dney, Iungs, di abetes,
spl een, thi ghs, dropsy, and tongue. Venus refers to eye,
geni tal troubl es, fi ts, di abetes, gl ands, dropsy and fever.
Saturn control s stomach pai ns, teeth, shi n, bone fractures,
rheumati c troubl es, bl i ndness, wounds, paral ysi s,
deaf-
ness and hysteria.
These are some of the mqjor indications given
to us by
the
planets. The houses
primarily involved are the 6th and
the 8th, and their rulers too have to be considered here. lt is
wiser not to read these with reference to Bhavachakra, be-
cause the equal house system of Parashara appears to be
more val uabl e. A few combi nati ons i ndi cati ng appendi ci ti s
are given earlier. Here the factors involved are Virgo, the 6th
house, the Moon, and the Sun. The combinations we have
noted are:
l . The 8th house affl i cted by Rahu or Kuj a
(Mars),
whi l e the
Moon also is afflicted.
2. Two strong mal efi cs on both the si des of the 6th house.

The example
given
earlier fulfils the combinations 2 and
6. There is another
person born when Libra was rising. fle
had the Sun and Saturn in l-agna while Mars was in the 7th.
This is the l4th combination listed above. Dr. Pattabhi's
chart fulfils the first combination. Born as Cancer was ris-
ing, he had the Sun, Mars, and Mercury in the Sth house. tle
had the
gastric ulcer. In these cases of gastric ulcer, we
usually find that the 5th house too is involved. This may
explain why
gastric ulcers and the like are said to arise
primarily from psychological factors. Here again we are
interested in pointing out a few model combinations.
There is a dreaded disease called cancer, and we do not
come across any known ways of
getting it cured. Experi-
ments are still going on. Only it is said that it can be cured
only if it is detected in its earlier stages. This can be done
only through astrology. Hence we offer an astrological
analysis of this. While Mercury indicates ulcers, Mars sug-
gests tumours. But cancer can appear in a variety of places.
Cancer, which is primarily indicated by Rahu, finds its place
because of the other
planets involved. The Sun indicates
stomach, bowels, and Mercury
gives nose, navel, mouth;
Mars suggests blood, marrow,
genitals, neck, and Uterus:
Jupiter refers to liver, thighs ear, and tongue; Venus indi'
cates throat and
genitals; Saturn refers to legs, hands, and

possibility
of
cancer. Other indicators are the afflicted Jupiter and Sat-
urn, and the signs Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, and Capri-
com. Saturn in Cancer does suggest that a parent may
possi bl y have been a vi cti m of cancer.
This chart is that of a woman who died of uterine can-
cer. Mars, Rahu and the Moon are i n exact conj uncti on; and
they are i n opposi ti on to Jupi ter and Kethu. Saturn i s i n the
5rd house. Mars aspects the Sun, the l ord of the 7th. Mars

{,
texts the Sun i s sai d to be the eye of the heavens. In a
funeral hymn of Ri g Veda the eye i s commi ssi oned
to enter
the Sun. The Sun i s thus the si gni fi cator
of the eye. The
Uttarakalamrita (U.K)
refers
the eye to the second house of
the horoscope (5.2);
and i t assi gns the l eft eye to the twel ftn
house
(5.22):
by i mpl i cati on
the second rul es the ri ght eye.
It al so assi gns the Sun
(5.24)
and Venus (5.44)
to the eyes.
Thus we have-to take the Sun and Venus as si gni fi cators
and the houses on ei ther si de of the Lagna as i ndi cators
of
the eyes. Si nce the si xth house refers to any ai l ment,
thi s
al so pl ays

has to say about ttre afi l i cti ons to the eyes. Our
authori ti es i nvari abl y consi der Mars i n the affl i cti ons
to
the right eye and Saturn to those of the left eye. This
i s because they refer to the owners of the fi rst and the
efeventh houses of the natural zodi ac and these are the
twel fth
(Yyaya,l oss)
houses. We wi l l tabul ate some combi -
nati ons from J.P.
1. Wani ng Moon i n the Bth aspected by a strong Saturn

TEXT BOOK Of SCIENTInIC I|IIIDU ASTROLOOY
The eye is a complicated organ, and its afflictlons
do
sometimes involve the nervous and circulatory systems.
In
astrolog5r the Sun is said to regulate
the right eye while the left
eye is under the control of the Moon. Venus too is associated
with eyesight. Kethu is another. Cataract is usually referred
to
Rahu. Mars has a sore eye and Saturn has blindness.
A reference to our ancient texts yields
many interesting
combinations of
planets.
Mars in the twelfth is said to afflict
the right eye while Saturn in the same afflicts the left. If Sun
and Moon are in the twelfth when malefics are in the sixth
or eighth, the result is taken to be blindness. These malefics
i n the si xth woul d be i n opposi ti on to the l umi nari es, and i n
the ei ghth they woul d oppose the house representi ng
the
eye. Moon i n the second, Sun i n twel fth, and mal efi cs i n
si xth or ei ghth gi ve
the same resul t. Mars i n second,
Sun i n
ei ghth, the Moon i n si xth and Saturn i n the ni nth work i n the
same manner. Bl i ndness resul ti ng from bi l i ousness
ari ses
when Moon and Mars are i n si xth or ei ghth. Bl i ndness
through the afflictions
of wind or phlegm
comes when Moon
and Saturn are in eighth or twelfth.
Tumour of the eye comes from Sun and Moon in the
ascendant. Defective eye results from Sun being in 5,9 or
l2 with malefics. lords of the ascendant and eighth in sixth
spoil the right eye. The following combinations are indica-
tive of different varieties of the diseases of the eye:
l . Sun and Moon affl i cted by Mars and Saturn;
2. Conj uncti on of Mars and Saturn i n 6 or
g;
5. Sun or Moon i n I or 7 aSpected by or conj oi ned wi th
Saturn or Rahu and Mars;
4. Lord of I and 2 i n conj uncti on i n a mal efi c house;

Many similar combinations
can be added. The basic facts
are simple. Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn are planets
i nvol ved. The houses concerned are 1,2,6,8 and 12. A few
illustrations will throw greater
light on this question.

of Mars and Venus has added to the compl i cati on.
The third chart gives
a peculiar pattern
of
planets.

degrees of Virgo and Pisces, and tenth and eleventh de-
grees of Taurus and Scorpio.
The last have a
good deal to do with the optical nelves.
The l Tth degrees of Virgo and Pisces, and the 2nd degrees
of L,eo and Aquarius also are connected with the eye. Cata-
ract cases show afflictions to the 2Oth degrees of Virgo and
Pisces. Colour blindness involves lhe 23rd degrees of Aries
and Libra, and the I lth degrees of Taurus and Scorpio.
Claucoma usually shows the first three degrees of Cancer
and Capricorn afflicted badly. The thirteenth degrees of
Cancer and Capricorn, the tenth degrees of Cemini and
Sagittarius, and the sixth degrees of Taurus and Scorpio are
some of the other sensitive
points. In any case of myopia
we find Mercury afflicted because he governs the nervous
system. When Mercury is afflicted by Mars and when Aries
or Scorpio is involved, there may be squint.
Cataract cases usually show afflictions to Mercury and
Moon. The conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in Virgo, and of
Moon and Mars are also sometimes found to be responsible
for this.

9. Ttrberculosis
Today a great number seem to be the victims of tuber-
culosis in our country; and too frequently do we hear of the
opening of new sanatoriums. Whatever may be the actual
physical causes that bring about this disease, we should
analyse astrologically the data that is available and try to
fi nd out the
parti cul ar pl anetary posi ti ons responsi bl e for
thi s ai l ment. Before we proceed
i n our enqui ry, we have to
note certain
principles
that are given
by the authorities.
Cemi ni or Mi thuna rul es the chest and Cancer or Karkataka
controls the heart. Virgo is a mental sign and it must be
consi dered i n al l ai l ments. It i s the si gn representi ng si ck-
ness and it stands for the liver and the intestines in particu-
lar. Likewise the sixth sign from the Ascendant is important
in this enquiry. The vitality of a person is controlled by
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
have power over the bones and the fl esh; Qemi ni , Li bra and
Aquari us have thei r sway over the breath; and the other
three
govern the blood. Then again we have to read con-
sumpt i on,
pneumoni a, rheumat i sm and ast hma f rom
Gemi ni ; and Pi sces too has somethi ng to say about tubercu-
losis. Coming to the planets, the Sun governs the heart and
bone, Mercury controls the lungs and Jupiter rules over the

of bringing asthma, bronchitis, neuralgia and neurasthania.
Saturn
govems
the spleen, endocardium, ribs, bones, rheu-
mat i sm, consumpt i on, bronchi t i s, ast hma, gout and
Bright's disease.
While predicting disease, we have to consider the sixth
sign from the Ascendant, the planets
therein, the lord of the
sixth and the aspects involving these. One should note the
relationship between the lords of the first and the sixth
houses. Next, one shoul d consi der the rel ati onshi p of Sun
to Moon. The aspects of Mars and Saturn falling on the
Moon are to be examined.
Some of the planetary
combinations that are said to be
responsible for tuberculosis can be classified thus:-
(i)
LorO
of the Ascendant wi th Venus i n the si xth, ei ghth, or twel fth
house from Lagna;
(ii)
Mars in the fourth and Rahu in the
twelfth from the
'Karakamsa
I.agna';
(iii)
Mars and Satum
malefically aspecting the Ascendant;
(iv)
the mutual ex-
change of houses by Sun and Moon in the Rasi or in the
Amsa;
(v)
the conjunction of the Sun and Moon afflicted in
Cancer or in Leo;
(vi)
the conjunction of the Moon and
Saturn being aspected by Mars;
(vii)
Mercury afflicted in
Cancer; and
(vi i i )
the combi nati on of the Sun, Jupi ter and
Saturn in the fourth.
A few typical illustrations will enable us to understa-
nd the principle better. The following chart is that of a male

fortytwo. The next chart is a slightly better representative. It

He suffered progressive
muscular
atrophy. Sun being the lord of the sixth is with Moon in the
fourth sign called Cemini. These two are aspected by Jupi-
ter and are afflicting Jupiter. Mars and Saturn are afflicting
one another. The trines are uncared for and the Ascendant
ls afflicted by Saturn. The wasting fever is amply accounted
for by Saturn and by the fourth house.
The follwoing chart illustrates the consumption of the
lungs. The Ascendant is unaspected, sensitive, receptive;

sensitive and consumptive sign. The lord of the sixth is
Jupiter who brings about degeneration and who is in the
ei ghth wi th Mars, Sun, Mercury and Venus. Al most al l the
organs are affected, though the wasting fever was soon felt
to react adversely on the lungs. Mars and Mercury have
done their worst. Next chart illustrated the consumption of

the bowels. The lord of the Ascendant here is in fifth with
Mercury, the lord of the ninth and the twelfth houses. The
lord of the sixth is debilitated and is about to be
joined
to
Mars who is being afflicted by Saturn. The 6th house is
particularly bad and it brings the afflicted Sun, Moon, and
Satum. Virgo governs the bowels and the solar
plexus and
it is severely afflicted.
In a
good many of the cases, we do find the Moon
occupying Aquarius, Pisces or Aries. The constellations

the heart and the lungs. And we also
find that consumption needs the afflictions coming from
Mercury, Mars and Saturn. These afflictions are generally
concentrated
in the sixth house. As'Chintamani' observes,
the conjunction of Mercury and Mars in the sixth afflicted by
Venus and Moon, is also indicative of consumption. Like-
wise, we have another indicator in the conjunction of Mars
and Satum in the sixth afflicted by the Sun and Rahu.
Take the next chart and observe the Ascendant afflicted
by benefics in a novel manner. The lord of the Ascendant is
exalted in the third sign; and this house
governs the skel-
eton as a whole. Mars is afflicted by Shani and Rahu, both
being together in a consumptive house. The Moon is
hemmed
in between malefics. This person developed tuber-
culosis at the age of fifty in the subperiod of the Sun in the
mqior
period of Jupiter. He breathed his last in the late sub-
period of Jupiter.

chart is the first to be considered. This person starLed his
career well and was somewhat successful at the bar. The
affl i cti on of Leo by Mars and Venus, and the conj uncti on of
Jupiter and Saturn aspecting Mars, brought forth diabetes.
Scorpio is particularly bad in this direction. As the diabetes
became chronic, a new weakness set in with a low tempera-
ture. Some medi cal practi ti oners di agnosed the ai l ment to

"streptomycin"

wards the end of the major period of Ketu. Observe that

signs. As a consequence of the treatment given,
there was
a serious neruous breakdown resulting in an ailment similar
to
paralysis as soon as the m4jor period
of Venus started.
Observe the
position
of Venus and his association with
Mercury and others. In the very first sub-period he col-
l apsed. I was consul ted
j ust
when the tubercul ar treatment
was being given to him; and I warned him not to take that
treatment any longer since it is sure to
paralyse
his nervous
system, and since the
planetary positions need some treat-
ment that can give vitality to his nervous system. My advice
was taken too late and the
good
man
passed away. The
positions of the planets are apt to tempt one to conclude
that he must have di ed of tubercul osi s.
The last illustration is highly significant in this direction.
This
gentleman was working in the Railway and he rfuas

tors, as usual ,

Capricornus intensified the affliction to the nervous system.
This affliction gathered momentum during the transit influ-
ences of Jupiter and Saturn. What this gentleman really had
during 1949-50 was only a little nervous breakdown; and
there might have been also a slight trace of albuminaria. But
it was not tuberculosis at any rate.

lO. Heart Complaint
Many factors lead to the ailments of the heart. An unsus-
pected cause is rheumatic fever which may attack a native
prior to his twelfth
year and which is erroneously treated as
ordinary malaria fever. tlere we propose to analyse one
such chart.

SOME DISEASES
7|J7
In this chart the lagna is hemmed in between malefics
and it is aspected only by the lord of the third and the eight.
Jupiter in the third is a cause of balarishta; and he has the
strength to bring the life to an end in his major
period. The
navamsa l agna i s aspect ed by Kuj a agai n. Appl yi ng
Jaimini's aspects we find the karakamsa afflicted by the
aspects of Sun, Uranus, Rahu and Neptune.
Rheumatic fever involves Mars and Saturn. Here Mars is in
Saturn's house in Rasi, and is with Saturn in Amsa. It is this
Mars who aspects the lagna. Scorpio is
particularly amenable
to this fever along with Leo, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces. One
of the aphorisms of Jamini is
*Dara
Jvara bhayam-' lt means
that when Cancer i s the ei ghth from karakamsa there i s fear
of fever
(5.5,
40). ttere thi s i s ful fi l l ed; and i t i s al so aspected
(as per Jami ni ) by Mars.
Moreover, Mercury
governs the respiratory systems. llere
he is retrograde and aspected by Mars in Rasi and by Saturn
in Amsa. As
per
the drekkana classification, the ribs are under
the thi rd and the el eventh house, whi l e the chest i s governed
by the fi fth
(ri ght
si de) and the ni nth houses' In thi s chart the
ninth is aspected by Mars. tts fifth house has the aspects of
Venus, Neptune and Rahu.
The ailments of the heart involve the following :

heart is dilated. In navamsa Uranus is in the fifth in opposi-
ti on to Jupi ter. The nati ve di ed on Nov. 7.1946.
According to Lahiri's ayanamsa the demise was in Curu,
Shani, Budha. But according to the one we follow it was in
Jupiter-Saturn-Moon. Readers will be able to
judge
which
ayanamsa fits in to this situation.
One more point. The native was married in May 1943.
He had no Kuja dosha. In amsa the seventh lord is in the
eighth; and the seventh is afflicted by Saturn. As Parashara
stated, the navamsa represents the chart of the partner.
Though the native has Mars in the eighth from Venus, the
navamsa chart clearly shows that his wife was destined to
be a wi dow.

the chest, 5 and I I the ribs, and band and the

tion of Sun, Mercury and Mars in the 4th or in the 5th
generally indicate ailments of the heart. The Moon indicates
tumours, Mercury refers to the lungs, and Venus to kidneys
and ulcers. For ulcers we have to consider also Mars, Rahu
and Uranus. Jupiter does indicate abnormal growths.

both in Rasi and in Navamsa. In Navamsa Shani aspects
Budha
(from
Vri shabha) and Shukra i s wi th Kuj a. From
Atmakaraka in amsa Guru

Jaimini states
(3.3.34): "if
the Bth from the Atma Karaka is
aspected by or conjoined with Mercury, he will have diarrhoea
or dysentery wi th vomi ti ng." If we i ncl ude the 6th, from
Karakamsa lagna Budha is in the 6th in Rasi aspecting
(as
per
Jaimini's aspects) the eighth.
Jaimini states
(5.5.

"lf

Add the longitudes of the lords of the first and 6th houses.
The product indicates a sensitive point referring to disease.
Here the longitudes of Mars and Mercury

in Pisces. In Navamsa Shukra, Kuja and Ketu are in Pisces,
aspected by none. In Rasi, Shani aspects that house, Kuja
aspects this Shani and the lord of Pisces.
This analysis shows how easier and also how difficult it is
to detect the ai l ments. tl i s di gesti ve system i s al most

start improving. With Ravi's sub period he should be near

712 TEXT BOOI( OT SCIEIIT]nIC MNDU ASTROLOOY
In the chart under investigation we note a few interesting
plus points. The Sun and Saturn
(lords
of 7 and l) are exalted.
Venus
(4)
and Jupi ter
(11)
are i n thei r own houses. Mars
(5)
and Mercury
(5)
have exchanged. Jupiter and the Moon are
Vargottama. There are a few disconcerting factors. The
significator of longevity is retrograde in exaltation and occu-
pies a badhaka house. Lagna is not aspected by any. The 8th
lord is weak. Mars in the 7th from the Moon and in Arudha
lagna denies a long life. The 8th from navamsa lagna and its
lord is afflicted Saturn. In Amsa Mars and Saturn are in as-
pects.
Now let us look at the chart more closely to understand
the ailment. The Sun in a fiery sign is opposed to Saturn
placed in an airy sign. The houses involved are 5 and 9, and
they are lords of 7 and Lagna. Brain, spine and back are
affected because of the houses involved and because of the
opposition. Mars is in an airy sign owned by Mercury, while
the latter is in the fiery sign of the former.
Mars is also in square to Uranus. 5rd and 5th houses are
involved. Saturn also afflicts the 5rd house. Saturn and
Mars aspect the Moon
(lord
of the 5th) and Jupiter. Almost
all the factors mentioned above are fulfilled here.
Let us study the chart from the standpoi nt of Jai mi ni ' s
system to find additional support. The Karakamsa has five
bodi es i ncl udi ng the Sun, Mars and Neptune' Al l these are
severel y af f l i ct ed by Sat urn f rom t he 4t h house. The
si gni fi cator of the brai n Mercury i s wi th Rahu whi l e the l ord
of the 6th i s i n l agna. The 8th from Karakamsa bei ng Cancer
(Sutra
3.5.41), there was an acute fever
precedi ng death.
The 7th house from Karaka is also aspected by Saturn' Thus
the brain and the spine are afflicted.
A similar situation appears in the case of the Moon sign
in the natal chart. Mars in an exchange with Budha aspects
the 6th lord. So does Saturn
(the
lord of I and 12) afflict the
Moon, Rahu, Sun and Mercury. The inflammation of the mem-
branes of the brain and the affliction to the spine are clearly
evident here. Even when we take the arudha lagna, we get
the same result. Keaders may study cases of meningitis
i n t he l i ght of t hese observat i ons.

valuable thing is to know how to apply these principles

that I have predicted
such an event in the presence
or
absence of others and that it came true. There is no written
or publ i shed proof for such predi cti ons.
A good method for

how and why such an event took pl ace at a gi ven ti me. Thi s

The native had one younger brother and one sister older
to him. After
graduation
he discontinued his studies for two
years, and then took his M.A. degree in 1965. lle worked as
a Lecturer. Note Quru in the tenth house Vargottama. Prior to
196 I he underwent an operati on for a tlydrocele. Why
did it take place ? When the lagna is in the third drekkana,
the testicles come under the third and the eleventh houses.
Jataka Parijata
(11.56)
states that the enlarged scrotum
results from the conjunction of Rahu with Mars or Saturn, or
when Mars is in Lagna. llere Mars is with Rahu in the ninth

Moon. Inspite of Jupiter's aspect on the Moon and Venus,
there is no long life. Lagna in itself is weak. The major periods
of the Moon, or Venus should cause death. But from navamsa
Iagna and Karakamsa lagna it is the Moon who has to bring
about the end. It took pl ace i n the subperi od of Jupi ter i n the

by Saturn. As per
our ayanamsa, the attack came in
Chandra-Guru-Shukra which ended on Feb. b, 1972, and
death came in the Vidasa of the Moon during the subperiod
of Jupiter in the Moon. It was from Feb. 29, lg72 to Aprii 9,
1972.
This analysis shows how complicated an interpretation
can be to many astrologers, and how an unsuspecting lord
of the lagna can cause death during his subperiod.

brai n and nerve centres come under Ari es. Taurus rutes

Sun rul es the brai n, cerebel l um, and bl ood, Mars control s
the cerebral hemispheres. Mercury rules the nerves.
The house of di seases i s the 6th. One has to consi der

the Navamsa occupi ed by the l ord of the 6th. We have al so
to consi der the rel ati onshi p between the l ord of the ascen-
dant and the owner of the 6th. The mental pecul i ari ti es
are
to be known from the Moon. The weak Moon i n the l 2th
with Saturn is likely to bring about insanity.
The
judgement
of mentality and of nervous reactions
depend to a great
extent on Mercury. The Moon refers to
faulty reasoning and one can become fussy. Mercury is
di ffusi ve and nervous. Venus i s i ndeci si ve. i ndefi ni te and

Severe afflictions are involved in cases of insanity. Mars
afflicts the mental rulers, and.Uranus does so in the case of
one of the l umi nari es. Usual l y Mars i s found i n the 5rd
house, and i n dangerous cases he i s i n a watery si gn.
The Moon and Mercury are generally
in malefic aspects to

afflicted. Where there is

SOME DISEASES 721
Uranus refers to abnormality, changefu lness, perversity,
and eccentri ci sm. Neptune can make' one hypersensi ti ve,
decepti ve, unstabl e, senti mental , and subversi ve. These
factors have to be borne in mind while
judging
mental
condi ti on.
Cemi ni , Li bra, and Aquari us are i ntel l ectual si gns. Can-
cer, Scorpio, and Pisces are emotional, sensitive, and un-
stable. Aries is impulsive. Gemini refers to nervous com-
plaints and psychological troubles. Nervous ailments come
under Sagittarius while Capricorn refers to diseases which
l i mi t the nati ve.
Mental defi ci ency i s rel ated to the 5rd house. If satum i s
in the Srd and is afflicted by its ruler, there is trouble.
Qenerally Venus is square to Mars or Saturn. The last degiee
of the fi xed si gns i s usual l y i nvol ved.
The Sun in the 5rd refers to mental
pursuits.
The Moon
i n thi s
pl ace can expl ai n the i nsuffi ci ent conti nui ty of men-
tal appl i cati on, and changeful i deas. The 5rd i s the mental
house. The other houses that rel ate to the mi nd are the I st.
the 5th and the 9th. The hi gher mi nd i s denoted by the 9th
whi l e the l ower comes under the 5rd. The 6th al so has a
reference to the mind.
The Sun gi ves, i f wel l pl aced, wi l l -power and i ndi vi dual -

mental rul er i s Mercury. When the Moon i s affl i cted i n the
5rd by Mercury, Saturn, or Mars, there may be' mental aber-
rati ons l i ke i nsani ty and mani a. Mercury governs the mi nd,
memory, intellect, intelligence, desire, and knowledge. ile
i s the chi ef i ndi cator of al l ki nds of mental aberrati ons and
nervous di sorders. An i l l -di gni fi ed or i l l -aspected Mars
makes one i mpul si ve and fi ckl e.
According to western astrology, Uranus refers to halluci-
nati ons and mental del usi ons, whi l e Neptune control s brai n
troubl es, del usi ons, hypochondri a, obsessi on, and i nsani ty.
We may for the time being ignore these two planets be-
cause there is still uncertainty about their influences on
i ndi vi dual s.

lord, and the aspects to it. The nature of the disease is to be
determined by the Bth house, the planet
in it, the aspect to
it, its lord, and the 22nd drekkana which falls in it.
In cases of insanity, there should be severe afflictions.
Mars in a watery sign in the 5rd is most dangerous. The
aspects between the Moon and Mercury must be adverse.
Cenerally the Sun is afflicted. The last degrees of Leo and
Aquari us are usual l y i nvol ved. George III had four pl anets
on the cusp of the l 2th, opposi te Uranus. The Moon i s
afflicted by Mars and Uranus.
Melancholy which precedes
insanity follows the afflic-
ti on of the Moon or Venus by Saturn. It may ari se i n the
si gns rul ed by Jupi ter. But the 5rd house i s general l y
i n-
volved. The watery signs make one moody. Capricorn is to
be a si gni fi cant i ndi cator. Saturn shoul d be affl i cted, and so
shoul d be Vi rgo. Mercury i s capabl e of i mpai ri ng the
memory.
Before we proceed further let us look into some illustra-
tions. The positions are given according to the Nirayana
system of Lahiri. But the balance of the
planet's period
at
birth is given as per Raman's ayanamsa.
The Chart l8 deserves notice. The ascendant is with
Saturn and it is not exactly aspected by any. The lord of the

certain animality about the native. The 5th is eclipsed by
Rahu. The lord of the Sth is with a malefic. Only the lord of
the 9th has the aspect of the lord of the Bth. The mental
pl anet Mercury i s conj unct Mars, l ord of the 5th; and Mer-
cury is a malefic, aspected by Jupiter. In the major period of
Mercury, the sub-l ord bei ng Mars, he l ost bal ance of mi nd;

not known. When the maj or peri od of Ketu began, he be-
came a sel f-appoi nted exi l e. He has powerful Jupi ter i n the

of his recovery. But these may occur at the end of the major
period of Venus. The position of Saturn in the ascendant
indicates
possession by a ghost, even if Saturn is in the

native.

Moon and Saturn are conjoined in the 5th from Navamsa
Lagna. The lord of the 5rd is aspected by Saturn and the two
are together in Navamsa. In the first chart there is Saturn,
rul er of the l ower mi nd i n the l st, wi thout recei vi ng any
aspects. The lord of the 5th is in the 5th conjunct Mercury,
aspected by Jupiter. The Sun receives asPects of Satum
and the Moon. These are omi nous. l n the second chart, l ord
of the Sth is in the lower mind aspected by Saturn. They are
in exact conjunction, The 5th house is aspected by the lord
of the 5rd. This
person became mad in the sub-period of
Mercury in his own major
period.
The 2Oth_ Chart is an interesting chart. The ascendant is
well aspected by Saturn and Jupiter. This is a saving feature

care to divulge. This tradtion affected subsequent astrologers
who fel t that the nati vi ty i s val uabl e onl y as provi di ng a
symbolic representation of the mental or
psychic
life. One is
al most tempted to remember the emphasi s on the mental
symptoms gi ven by l eadi ng homoeopaths. Carl Jung uti l i sed
the horoscopi c charts for a di agnosi s of the currents and
cross-current s i n t he i nward l i f e of an i ndi vi dual . These
st udi es ar e v al uabl e no doubt ; but t hey t end t o
overemphasi se one aspect and to consi der i t as the onl y
val uabl e aspect.
Mithuna, Thula and Kumbha are known as airy signs.
They govern the mental and humane aspects. They consti -
tute a tri angl e of harmony, equi l i bri um and peace. The
afflictions to these must be carefully noted. At times the
mental aberrati ons are due to the over-i ndul gence of the
animal in man; and here our pointers are the bestial signs
known as Mesha, Vrishabha, Simha, Dhanus and Makara. A
weak constitution on the other hand is implied by the af-
flicted Kataka, Makara and Meena. In most cases of mental
aberrati ons we fi nd the food consumed bei ng converted
i nto bi l e. Consequentl y we have al so to exami ne the si gns
governi ng certai n
parts of the body. Thus the fi ery and
cardi nal si gns rul e the head, the watery and the cardi nal
si gns have a control over the stomach, and the common
si gns have much to say about the nervous system. The
watery signs have an influence on the lower mind. To be
more speci fi c Ari es refers to the head and brai n, Cemi ni to
the bl ood, Cancer to the di gesti ve organs, Scorpi o to the
geni tal s, Sagi ttari us to the nerves, Aquari us to the ci rcul a-
ti on of bl ood, and Pi sces to the l ymphati c system.
Comi ng to the
pl anets,
the Sun rul es over the bl ood and
brain, while the Moon governs the stomach and the lym-
phatic system. Mercury refers to the brain, wind and ner-
vous system. Mars controls the bile and the muscular sys-
tem. Jupiter has sway over blood, liver and arteries. The
nerve fl ui ds, membranes of the brai n and the nervous di s-
orders are supposed to be regulated by Uranus. Even Nep-
tune i s taken to have power over the brai n.
When Ari es becomes the ascendant, we have to l ook to
the condition of the head, stomach and kidneys. Taurus as

ascendant inclines to apoplexy. Gemini is prone
to nervous
di sorders and mental overstrai n besi des the i mpuri ty of
blood. Cancer tends to hypochodria, to a morbid disposition.
All irregularities of the digestive system are traceable to
Virgo. Libra points
to the head and to the stomach as the two
possible
sources of trouble. Sagittarius has a tendency to
bring about disorders of the nervous system and of the blood
circulation. At times Aquarius inclines to nervous disorders.

rangement aftet a serious financial loss which synchronised
with the birth of his only son. Note the location of Sun and
Mercury with Rahu in a watery sign. Mercury is afflicted by
Saturn who transmits the affliction emerging from Mars. The
retrograde Jupiter has heightened the imaginative
associa-
tion of the Sun with the loss. The S2nd chart is that of a
male born immediately after a lunar eclipse. This person
is
haunted by visions of hanging. The nervous sign controlling
the blood is rising, practically
unaspected by any. The lord
is in the common nervous sign along with the lord of the
l2th. The past remains a perrnanent
feature of the present,
and it obstructs or prevents
the present
happiness.
The rays from the lord on the 6th fall on these two, while
the 6th is powerfully
aspected by Saturn. All these afflic-
tions proceed
from Aquarius, a sign of unconventional re-
volt against the reactionary trends of the present
and of the
immediate past.
The 55rd chart is that of a business magnate who relied
upon his nearest relatives; these relatives finally betrayed
hi m. There resul ted an obsessi on of bei ng poi soned.
The
lord of the 5th and the 6th are conjunct in the watery
twelfth. The lord of the 5rd has gone
over to another watery
sign which is also very receptive, weak and nervous. The
lord of happiness has come over to the 2nd, but Jupiter is
ill placed receiving the Saturnine affliction from a bestial
sign. The impulsive charater is heightened by the affliction
of the arscendant from Mars and Satum. It was in the last

fruit nor vegetables. She used to feel unwell when any of
these happened. The sign Libra lost its equilibrium because
of the Martian aspect from the lOth. The lord of the loth
takes refuge in the watery Pisces, the 6th from the ascen-
dant. This has resulted in a certain sensitivity to anything
referring to the lymphatic system. The instability is further
'heightened
by the location of Jupiter in Virgo, another
'common
sign. The lord of the 4th and the 5th has fallen a
victim to the aquatic influences of Pisces; and the olfactory
nerves have been upset, resulting in mental aberrations of
a far-reaching nature.

Now we can safely proceed
to consider certain basic
pri nci pl es i nvol ved i n these and si mi l ar cases. The opposi -
tion of the Sun and the Moon is a psychically
important
position.
Particularly on an eclipse day it is a dangerous
portent
of mental instability. Sun's conjunction with Saturn
is critical and unfavourable indicating a tendency to mental
depression. A square between Mercury and Venus tends to
separate the thi nki ng pri nci pl e
forci bl y, whi l e Mercury' s
opposition to Jupiter involves a psychic
conflict. A square or
opposition of Mercury to the ascendant tends to accentuate
nervous disorders.
Planets in the 5rd house, ruler of the 5rd,
planets
in
common and cadent houses, Moon and Mercury are the
general
indicators of mental aberrations. Mercury gov6rns
the
pure i ntel l ect, whi l e the Moon has a sway over the brai n
and concret e mi nd. The Srd house i ndi cat es t he l ower
mi nd, the 9th the hi gher mi nd, the 6th the sub-consci ous
mi nd, and t he l 2t h t he hi dden or t he unconsci ous mi nd.
When the Moon and Mercury are in common signs with-
out any association of any other
planet,
when these two do
not aspect th ascendant, and when they are aspected by
mal efi cs, we fi nd mental i nstabi l i ty. l f i t i s Saturn who af-
flicts them we get melancholia. Some charts illustrate this.
When the affliction comes from Jupiter and Mars, there is
religious mania. When there are many aspects to such a
Mercury, even if they are malefic, it is better since an
unaspected Mercury tends to lack of balance. The worst
possible affliction to Mercury arises from a conjunct Saturn-
Mars, or from Uranus. In such a case there is insanity,
nervous breakdown, obsession. Charts reveal the afflictions
from Saturn or from Mars transmitted through one another.
All these aspects must fall within the orb of eight degrees
onl y.
I n a day map when Mercury or t he ascendant i s
mal efi cal l y aspected by Mars, and i n a ni ght map when
Saturn has a malefic aspect on Mercury or the ascendant,
then al so there wi l l be a mental aberrati on. The resul t i n
such cases is manifest glaringly when these afflicted signs
are watery signs. Sometimes a mental aberration proceeds

from the conjunction of Sun and Moon in the house of
Saturn. This is slightly revealed in chart 52. At times the
opposition between the Sun and the Moon, if one of them
occupies a house of Mars, is an ominous
portent. All these
are minimised when there is a benefic aspect coming from
Jupi ter or Venus.
Jupiter in the ascendant in opposition to Mars; Saturn in
the ascendant having Mars in theTth or in a trine; Saturn in
the ascendant wi th Sun i n the l 2th and wi th Moon or Mars
in a trine; the lord of the 5rd combust or in the 6th from his
debilitation with malefic aspects; Saturn and the waning
Moon in the l2th
-
these are additional factors
giving rise to
mental aberrations. Some of these are amply illustrated by
some charts. When Saturn and the lord of the 2nd are with
malefics, the aberration is due to wind trouble. When the
malefic here is the Sun, the derangement is brought about
by the action of the authorities. When the malefic is Mars,
the aberration arises from the accumulation of bile. When
the Sun and the Moon are in the ascendant and trines, there
can be a mental aberration if Jupiter is in a square, if the
time of birth is
governed by Mars or Saturn, and if the day
is Tuesday or Saturday. When the Moon and Saturn are
conjunct with the ascendant and aspected by Mercury, then
too one can speak of a mental crisis. The mental aberration
which arises of results from a state of being haunted or
possessed requires the conjunction of a powerless Moon
with Saturn in the Bth, or the conjunction of Saturn and
Rahu i n the ascendant.
In all mental aberrations there is a prior state of intense
mental activity; and during the derangement this activity
becomes onesided. This disproportion affects the body, the
nerves,
joints,
vision and the like. Consequently one has to
look into the nativity for all these. Thus we cannot omit
Saturn, the
planet of stability,
patience, seriousness, con-
templation and mediation. Nor can we ignore the animal
and instinctual aspect expressed by the Moon, or the moral
side indicated by the Sun. Mercury has something to say
about the imagination and the optic nelve' The eccentrics
are found to be ruled by Uranus. While the ascendant refers
to the
physical body, the Moon to the etheric, Mars and

Venus to te astral or desire body, Saturn and Mercury to
the mind body, and Jupiter to the causal body or individu-
ality.
Ever since the advent of Sigmund Freud, even a
'nor-
mal' individual is said to
possess some germs of insanity,
more or less like the Tubercular bacillae. Any activity that is
repeatedly done without any apparent or conscious reason
is taken as the widest
possible definition of the word by the
Psycho-analysts. Washing the hands too often, observing
meaninglessly at a thing without end, or anything that can
be taken as a symptom of restlessness, comes under this.
Clear cases of madness are well known. Hysteria in women
is too common.
The Sun
govems blle, Moon rules wind and phlegm, and
Mercury all the three. Jupiter and Venus govern phlegm,
whi l e Saturn and Venus presi de over wi nd. Insani ty i s the
peculiar prerogative of Moon and Mercury, and of the lagna
and the sixth. Contact with Rahu turns it to be a case of
obsession. The afflictions of the malefics too
play a promi-
nent
part.
Proc.eeding on this b-bsis, we may note a few more
lmportant
points. The fifth is the house of intellect and the
third that of valour and
'push'.
Most cases of insanity reveal
that the native rvas unable to bear a particular shock or
experience. That sets in the derangement of the brain. This
unbearability
pre-supposes a certain want of courage. As
such the third house too should be carefully examined
along with the fifth. In a few cases, the nature of the wife
seems to be the
prime cause, and consequently the seventh
house is to be examined in conjunction with the ascendant.
In those cases which are the results of Abhicharika Kriyas,
the ninth and the twelfth require analysis. Above all, the
sixth and the eighth houses, being the houses of
personal
happiness, must be scrutinised. By the house one has to
take only the cusps.
Coming to the
planets, the Sun rules blood and brain,
will and courage. The Sun must be strongly
placed to avoid
the stroke of lunacy. Since madness consists in easy recep-
tivity and assimilation, the Moon too requires attention.

Mercury governs the brain and mind, along with nervous
and mental disorders. Uranus presides
over the nerve flu-
ids, membranes of brain and spinal cord, nervous disorders
and incurable complaints. A strong Neptune can counteract
these fits of lunacy. Equally so is the Sun, who has more
sway over faintings. The Moon brings in the inflammations
of the brain and convulsions. Mars accentuates all the solar
diseases, while Saturn accentuates the lunar diseases. Sat-
urn has much to do with mental depression.
Brain comes under Aries. Qemini controls nervous dis-
orders, restlessness and mental overstrain. A Cancerian can
be easily hypnotised for he has a weak will. Similar is the
case with Scorpio, which, being a magnetic sign, easily
attracts diseases. Nervous system as a whole belongs to
Sagittarius. Pisces can bring forth insanity through exces-
si ve i ndul gence.
Passing to some other considerations, we may note that
these
planets
must not be badly afflicted. An afflicted Mer-
cury is the most dangerous planet; more so if he happens to
be in Cancer, Virgo or Pisces. When he is afflicted by Saturn
he brings worry, fear, melancholy and want of self-confi-
dence. When Mars afflicts there will be nervous affections
of the head. When Uranus affl i cts there wi l l be nervous
compl ai nts, besi des a muddl ed condi ti on of the mi nd.
Si nce Saturn rul es the l ower mi nd, he must be wel l pl aced.
Since a good number of the cases of insanity are said to
be due to
'Karma',
we must pay particular attention to Moon
and Mars who are the principal factors in making fate.
Si mi l arl y we must exami ne Saturn and Mercury who com-
bine both free will and desire in themselves. Thwarted
ambitions and weakly developed will power
too are respon-
si bl e for l unacy. Sun vi tal i ses both desi re and wi sdom.
Si nce Jupi ter combi nes thought and feel i ng, he must be
free from afflictions. Uranus completely
governs will while
Neptune controls feeling, desire, emotion and imagination.
Finally, we may say that while the Sun influences the char-
acter, the Moon affects personality.
This account of the astrological considerations involved
in lunacy might seem lunatic. But it points at last to Lhe fact

that lunacy is too complicated an affair. lt embraces a vast
field. Even a genius has a bit of the lunatic in him. And as
Shakespeare said, the poet, the lover and the lunatic agree
in their imagination. We have to examine a good deal be-
fore we arrive at some decision. To facilitate this, we pro-
pose to give
some select examples of the important types of
lunacy.
The next chart is a typical case where insanity proper
has not stepped in; but all the preparations are ready. The
Ascendant is the nervous Gemini with Moon, who is the sou-
rce of all human trouble. This person easily receives ideas
and has no brain whatsoever to think for himself. The lord
of the ascendant and of the intellect is Mercury who is
hemmed i n between Mars and Venus i n the thi rd house. tte
is a
great
coward having much animality. The fifth house
has the l ord of the ei ghth, who affl i cts not onl y Jupi ter, but
also Sun and Neptune. And a powerful Saturn in the fifth is
as bad as a powerful Jupi ter i n the seventh, especi al l y i n
Gemi ni . The l ords of the si xth and the twel fth are hi ghl y
affl i cted. But Jupi ter, bei ng i n hi s own house, and havi ng a
true degree aspect, is able to save the situation a little so
far. But he represents the mi ssi ng l i nk between sani ty and
insanity. Note also that most insane
people are fond of
money. So we fi nd here the' Dhanakaraka' exerci si ng i nfl u-

that Mars is aspecting them, while Uranus, the source of

insanity because Mercury is actually in the cusp of the
eighth house. Still, the lord of the fifth is afflicted by Saturn,
who rules the lower mind.

cury is afflicted by Sun and Mars. But the most important
factors are Venus-Saturn affliction, and Uranus-Jupiter af-
fl i cti on. Venus i s the l ord of the house of i ntel l ect. fl e i s i n

obsession did not leave him. The seventh lord and the lo;d
of the lower mind is in the sixth. The sixth lord is in the fifth
with Rahu, the
poison. Mars is afflicting the house from
Taurus. He suspects mostly his own wife; hence the posi-
tlons of Mars and Saturn are important. Moon is afflicted in
the twelfth by Saturn. The lord of the Ascendant is in a weak
and nervous sign.
Chart 44 is that of a
young
boy who went mad recently
due to an important and outrageous shock. Sometime in
October last year, he was travellihg in the train which col'
lided at Ongole station. The train disaster shocked him and
upset his system. Dver since he was unfortunately off the
lower mind, we note the incendiary Mars exalted with
Venus.

It is the sixth house. The ascendant is afflicted by Moon,
the lord of the twelfth house, the house of accidents. Mars
is aspecting the twelfth and Lagna as well. Jupiter is not
strong. Mars and Satum have interchanged their positions.
To add to that Venus lords the third and Mars lords the

A typical case of a genius
and an artist tuming perverse
is provided by Oscar Wilde
(Chart
45). He is one of the few
best literary artists of Dnglish. His "De Profundis",
"Ballad
of the Reading
gag|.,
and
"Lady
Windermere's fan" stir us
intensely. But it is all a satanic genius. We all know that he
was convicted of rape and other things in France. That is to
say there is something of animality, cruely and indecency in
his mental make up. It is an illdirected mind and is often
found in sexual neurotics. The house of the lower mind has
unfortunately become the fifth. It is afflicted by a debilitated
Jupiter, who is the lord of the seventh. The seventh and
ninth are spoilt in this direction. Similarly the lord of the
fifth is in the neryous tenth. The ascendant itself is sensitive
and susceptible. The picture is complete with the Moon in
the twelfth being afflicted by Saturn, who in tum is afflicted
by the lord of the third. A similar case is found in a gentle-
man born in Viryo with Jupiter and Moon in the fifth
(Chart
46), with Mars, Venus and Kethu in the twelfth. Here both
Jupiter and Moon are spoilt. They have also afflicted the
lord of ascendant, Mercury. The twelfth hguse is the worst.

tle actually went mad twice and the main cause is only
sexual hunger and the consequent l oss of equi l i bri um. The
sixth house has become too weak. To add to that Sun-
Saturn combination in Qemini has brought forth asthmatic
troubles too.
Chart 47 reveals how lnsanity sometimes leads to sui-
cide. The

when we note Mars and Mercury in the receptive third,
being afflicted by Saturn.

The afflicted Saturn is spoiling the eighth. A
similar case of flower-obsession occurred in an individual
born in Virgo, having Jupiter in the fifth, Saturn in the
seventh, Mars in the seventh, Moon and Rahu in the third
and the rest in the fourth. Of course, here, the interchange
of

Charts 5O and 5l are cases of nymphomani a. It i s a
mental disease revealing itself in constant sex hunger and
thirst for ever fresh romance.
In the first one the significant thing is the
powerful
di sposi ti on of Mars and Venus. Venus i s exal ted i n the
seventh and is having a true degree opposition with Mars.
They are pl aced i n sensi ti ve and suscepti bl e si gns. But
general l y the Vi rgo nati ves are a bi t shy and ti mi d. They
have ideas; but are afraid of translating them into action.
More so when Jupiter dominates the ascendant. Conse-
quently sex urge is great and unrepressible. Yet lack of the
necessary courage resulted in mental derangement. To add
to thi s, the Moon i s ecl i psed by the l ord of the si xth, the l ord

twelfth lord is in the ninth. another Kama Trikona. These
and the unfortunate
position
of the eighth house points
out
to the unrealised and unrealizable sex hunger. Hence as
Freud says, the tendencies are repressed and consequently
the mania set in. It iook the form of a mental disease.

visions of her husband's so-called immorality, which, as
Freud would say, is nothing but her own wish to be immoral
herself. The ascendant is dominated by the animal mind
and the fifth by the lower mind. Mercury is with the lord of
the sixth. The position
of Jupiter in the third in conjunction
with Uranus being aspected by Venus reveals that she is
overcome by sex hunger; but she is too timid to act that
way. Hence she was caught in mental derangement. The
Interchange of houses between Mars and Venus is signifi-

We can close this suruey of the types of lunacy with
another case where an obsession and an Abhichara have
played their

From this survey we can distinguish the mind represented

I I th and the l 2th have exchanged houses, thereby maki ng
Mars and Saturn afflict each other. As against Carter's view,
the Sun has nothing to do with Saturn.
From our analysis we find that the planets involved are
the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Rahu Particularly the last three,
the
pl anet and the house governi ng
the body are al l i n-
volved in the diagnosis of cancer. Since cancerous growth
destroys the vital cells Carter was led to believe that in all
such cases afflictions of the Sun from Jupiter and Saturn
are found. But the cells come under Saturn and Mars, and
thei r mai ntenance depends on the Moon and to some ex-
tent on the Sun and Jupiter. We therefore find afflictions to
and from Saturn and Mars; and any kind of malignant
growth involves Kahu. Blood being corrupted in such cases,
we need to examine the luminaries and Mars as well as the
6th house. Merely because Saturn or Mars or both are in the

6th or the 8th does not imply cancer. In fact Saturn in these
houses can be a great asset warding off many an ailment or
giving great powers of resistance and quick recuperation.
The 6th being the house of ailment has to be considered
along with the house of longevity. Since cancer can attack
any
part of the body, one has to examine the
planets and
houses
governing these
parts. We also emphasize the im-
portance of Rahu because of the
poi sonous nature of thi s
ai l ment .
In the foregoing analysis we have followed the equal
house system according to which the ascending degree is
the first
point of Lagna, not the middle. Secondly, mutual
exchange of houses are treated as exchange and also as
the
pl anets bei ng i n thei r respecti ve houses; and i n al l
exchanges the
planet concerned loses the ownership of the
other house. We have
gi ven the
posi ti ons of Uranus and
Neptune also merely to enable a research analyst to find out
whether these
planets have a bearing on the cases studied
here. To give a last illustration consider the chart of the
famous Bengali novelist Sarat who had Saturn retrograde.

advocated by us. The signs remain the same, making l.eo

Still we cannot
generalise and lay down any specific
rules. Each case has to be examined separately and on its
own merits.

cally it is possible
to diagnose cancer in advance. In any
chart the 6th is the house of disease, and the 8th that of the
nature of death. Cancer is an infection of the blood, and
blood comes under the Moon and Mars, also under the Sun.
The maintenance of the cells is regulated by the Sun, the
Moon and Jupiter; and any affliction to these comes from
Mars and Saturn. Rahu govems
any form of malignant
growth.
The part of the body ruled by the planets
is indicated in
the following order of the weekdays from the Sun to Rahu
'stomach,
heart, head, chest, thighs, face, knees, and feet.
The diseases to which one is subject is to be read from
houses the 6th, the 8th and l2th, tagna, and lord of t-agna.
If the sign occupied by the Sun is a common one and
afflicted, the ailment is below the waist; if it is the fixed sign
to which he moves, it is below the neck and above the
waist; if it is a cardinal sign which he has left, it is above the
neck. We have also to consider the 8th house, planets
associated with it, and planets
occupying it. According to
Varahamihira, the signs from Aries and Lagna control head,
face, breast, heart, stomach, waist, navel, genitals,
thighs,
knees, shanks, and feet. If the afflicted houses are from the
8th to the l2th, the ailment is on the right side; otherwise,
it is on the left side.
The signs ruled by Mars refer to head, eyes and
wounds; those of Venus to testicles, swelling and watery
complaints; those of Mercury to nose, skin, and breathing;
those of Jupiter to the ears and mind; those of Saturn to
di gesti on, nerves and mi nd. The Moon control s face,
tongue, breasts and swellings. The Sun refers to the eyes
and the stomach. Rahu controls all wounds. Ulcers and
blood refer to Mars. Following the order of the weekdays,
the
planets
have a control over bones, muscles, skin, fat,
sperm or ovum, and nervous material. If Saturn is aspected
by the Sun, there can be blood impurities. lf the lord of the
decanate occupied by Saturn is the Moon, there is a possi-
bility of tumour; and if it is Jupiter, the ailment is in the
stomach and it is hidden. The Sun and Mars in malefic

Mr. Surendra ?ai gave
us 59 cases of cancer in the
January and March 1982 issues of TfIE ASTROLOCICAL
MACAZIND.:The ascendants for nine are not available. tlis
findings will be briefly summarised. Jupiter controls the
growth of cells; their eccentric behaviour is due to Uranus
who also controls electrolytes; Mars indicates surgery and
he is connected with blood, He admits that in I I out of 175
cases there was no part played
by Mars, Jupiter and Uranus.
But he notices the influence of the Moon and Saturn. He
finds the mutual associations or aspects of Mars, Jupiter
and Uranus
-
all the three or at least two. But he did
not indicate in any lnstance what part of the body was
affected.
We will first analyse the charts given by Mr. Pai. The
numbers are counted from Aries. The charts are as
per
Lahiri's Ayanamsa. The Interpretation is based on equal
house system as advocated by us.
In these cases we have to go by the Moon sign. Though
we have the
positions of Uranus and Neptune, we believe
that cases of cancer can be diagnosed from the Moon,
Mars, Saturn and Rahu. Some i nvol ve Mars and Saturn;
others involve the Moon and Mars; some show the affliction
of Saturn and the Moon, and al so of Mars and Rahu; one
has the axis of Saturn and Ketu. The Moon rules over blood;
Mars suggests inflammations, bone decay and blood pres-
sure; Saturn refers to stomach and legs; and Rahu involves
an acute and undiagnosed ailment. The dhatus
governed by
the
pl anets are i ndi cati ve of the source of ai l ment. In the
order of the weekdays, the
planets govern bone, eyes and
the cutaneous system; blood; bones and blood; throat;
ears; eyes and
genitals; stomach and legs. Any relation
between the lords of the 6th and the 8th makes for a high
intensity of the ailment.

This analysis reveals the importance of the lords of the
6th and the 8th, Langa, badhaka
pl anet and the badhaka
house. At the same time Mars, Saturn and Moon and Rahu play
a major role. Moreover, each
part of the body refers to a
specific house and to a particular planet which have to be
considered
along with the other factors. One should not run
into a
judgement
simply because these factors exist in a given
chart. One should also carefully examine the charts
for
Shashtyamsa
(one-sixth)
for ill health, Ashtamsa
(one-eighth)
for l ongevi ty, Shodasamsa
(one-si xteenth)
for happi ness and
otherwise, and Trimsamsa for Rishtaphala. Above all one
must ascertain the Shadbala strength of the
planets and
Bhava-bal a. Then onl y one can
predi ct wi th accuracy. Other-
wi se the

There are persons who enumerate exceptions to Kuja
dosha. We refuse to accept such excepti ons. At the most
the dosha i s neutral i sed, not cancel l ed. Here Kuj a i s i n the
second from l agna, and i n the twel fth from arudha l agna
and Venus. Thi s i s a very strong dosha. When we were
shown the chart of the
proposed boy we found Mars and
Rahu i n the ei ghth from the Moon and Venus; and we fel t
that there is no dosha samya equality or similarity of defect.
Scholars reeled off the Slokas about the exceptions and
we refused to accept them. Still, the girl was married to
the boy i n Febuary, 196l and the
gi rl became a wi dow i n

Some
Kemedial
Measures
,l
ny ailment needs three-fold treatment according to
.flour ancients. These are manl
(precious
stones), mantra
(Vedic or Tantrik mystic syllables) and aushadha
(medi-
ci ne). Any
pl anet whi ch i s weak and whi ch i s obstructi ng
has to be brought under control . We are not to meddl e wi th
the strong and favourable ones. Of the mantras those sanc-
tioned by the Vedas and those
given by the proper precep-
tor are helpful. Any mantra can work well for a Hindu if he
does not neglect Oayatri mantra. Moreover, the worship of
the family deity should never be ignored. The chart of the
i ndi vi dual i ndi cates whi ch dei ty he had to worshi p.
The fifth house is the mantra-sthana and the ninth is the
Tapo bhava. If the fifth is an even sign and is aspected or
occupi ed
by Chandra and Shukra, he has to worshi p a
female deity. The
planets in that house or aspecting it
indicate the deities thus:
Sun{ayatri,
Moon{auri;
Kuja-KartikeYa;
Budha-Vishnu;
Guru-Shi va; Shukra-Gauri ; Shani -vi shnu
Jai mi ni Sutras i nstruct us about the dei ti es favourabl e
to a nati ve. These are based on karakamsha
and i ts
twelfth
house. We can extend them to the fifth and ninth
houses.

Vedic Kemedies for Planets
In any chart we notice that there are certain malefic
peri ods gi vi ng ri se to undesi rabl e resul ts. These resul ts
cannot be totally warded off. At best their adverse effects
can be mi ni mi sed by fol l owi ng some measures. We fi nd
some astrologers presenting
the
japa
of mantns. Some of
the mantras mentioned for the planets
are purely Tantrik or
esoteri c. Thei r val ue appears to be doubtful parti cul arl y
when the person who does these
j apas
does not concl ude
with the recitation of the Qayatri mantra for a thousand
times. f f he does Cayatri at the end, the
japa
for the planets
can be effective. In such a case persons like the present
author attribute the efficacy nrostly to Oayatri mantra.
This brings us lo the relevant point. The Gayatri nantra
appears in many Vedic texts. It is in Rig Veda
(lll.62.10),
Sam aveda, Vajasan eya Samh ita, Taittiriya Sam h i ta
(1
.5.6. 4
;
4.1.1 l . l ) and Tai tti ri ya Aranyaka
(l .l
1.2). The seer who
had a vision of this mantra was the celebrated Vishvamitra.
Why is the pride of place given
to this sage? This Cayatri
mantra is used on a variety of occasions. In another hymn
of Ri g Veda
(5.55.
f2) we read:
Vish vaam itrasya nksha ti
brah medam bhaaratam
janam
Freely rendered this means; "This hymn
(Brahma)
of
Vi svami tra
protects
the
peopl e of Bharata". It i s hi s hymn

that control s and gui des
the desti ny of our motherl and.
Such power being that of Vishvamitra, the Oayatri mantra
envisioned by him and present
in all the Samhitas has
become central to the Hindu faith. It is the basic mantra.
The
' Panchadashi '
and
' Shodashi '
mantras are cal l ed
'Rahasya'
(esoteric)
Gayatri. In a sense all the mantras are
derived from this Cayatri and from the hundred lettered
Cayatri. The latter is made up of
gayatri
with the fourth line,
the'Jatavedas' Mantra and'Tryambakam' mantra.
Thi s l engthy i ntroducti on i s i ntended to emphasi se the
absolute value of the
graha
mantras
(mantras
for the plan-
ets) taken from the Veda al one. Let us remember the state-
ment of Manu that
' the
pri mal
source of Dharma i s the
Yeda.'Vyasa in Mahabharatha states that'Dharma proteits
when it is protected
and
preserved'.
In the light of these celebrated views we give first the
appropriate hymns of Rig Veda.
The Saura Suktas, hymns for propi ti ati ng
the Sun, the
l ord of al l l i fe) are seven. These are found i n the Ri g Veda
1. 55, 1. 5O, l . l 15, 1O. 32
( Namomi t r as ya) ,
l O. l 2O
(Vi bhradl .
l O. l 5B, and l O. l 7B
(ayam gauh).
These are
taken from the first and the tenth mandalas of Rig Veda.
The Vedic mantras found in Rig Veda for the propitiation
of the
pl anets are as fol l ows:
Sun:
Mars:

The mantra for Saturn curiously enough is employed for
the ritual of any deity that is worshipped. Even the mantra
wi t h whi ch Canapat i i s i nvoked appears i n Ri g Veda
(2.23.1)
and i n Tai tti ri ya Samhi ta
(2.3.14.3).
Onl y the Vedi c
mantras can offer perfect remedial measures.
The Dharma Sastras simplify the
procedure

When we were unabl e to fi x the marri age of one of our
daughters in splte of six years' efforts, we recited the 75rd
Sarya of Balakanda for 40 days and on the 4lst day the
marriage was fixed. For getting a girl married soon, the
earlier
generations of Andhras used to make the
girls read
every day the section on Rukmini Kalyana in Bhagavatam.
This was most effective.
The Vi mshottari Dasa and Antardasas, l f they are
maleflc, are effectively brought under control by certain
chapters
(Sargas)
of Sundara l{anda in Valmikl
Ramayana. We give some that we have tried with success:-

along with Lalita Sahasra Nama Stotra: and five months
after she began this, her marriage was celebrated. For Sag
ittarius she has the Sun and Rahu in the 9th and Mercury
and Venus i n t he l Ot h.
The afflicted Nakshatra too needs propitiation. We have

This incidentally takes us to the most important Vedic

propitiatory rites. ln Yainavallrya Smrltl we
read:
Sri kamah santi kamo va graha y4inam samacharet.
Vrishtyayuh
pushtikamo va tathaivaabhicharannapi Q95l
One desirous of wealth,
peace, rainfall, long life, health
and
protection should
perform a sacrifice to the
planets.
The Vedic mantras
given for the
planets differ slightly
from one smriti to another. The
japa (prayer)
of a planet
is in terms of its Vimshottari Dasa
years multiplied by
a thousand.
Each
japa
is
preceded by a sankalpa which
gives the Rishi, Chhandas and Devata of the mantra along
with a dhyana sloka. Then follow tarpana and homa. The
homa is with the
prescribed samidhas
(herbs) dipped
in milk, sugar and honey. The form of the
planet in the
prescribed colour has to be invoked on to the
pedestal.
Many a time we hear that these
japas
have not proved
effective.
This is because after the
japa,
tarpana, homa
and dana one forgets to recite Gayatri Mantra a thousand
times. In a tabular form we
present the details of the Graha
Japas.

planets can be cured only by these remedial measures. Our
ancients have prescribed manl

792 TEXT BOOI{ Of SCIENTInTC ruNDU AST'frOLOOY
One shoul d fi nd out the nature or source of the ai l ment
from the radical chart and determine the
planet
or
planets
responsible for it. Then along with medication one should
perform the
japa.
We
give a few instances based on our experience. When
the 5rd and 5th houses are severely afflicted and we no'
ticed mental derangement or possession we have success-
fully employed fratlrangira
(Bhadra KaIl) Parayana. ln
some cases Vanadurga mantra or the first chapter of
Durga Saptasati has proved effective. Ordinary fevers or
drishti dosha
(evil
eye) were controlled by Sitala Mantra
which appears to control Mars. Stolen
goods indicated by
the l2th house, Saturn, Rahu and the like were recovered
by Kartaveeryarjuna Mantra. ?arasara has given the caus-
es for the l oss or absence of chi l dren as some curses; and
these can be al l evi ated by mantras; and i n some cases
Rahu being involved we
prescribed Naga Pratishta and wor-
ship. The results were amazing. Stammering or inability to
speak are wel l i ndi cated by the 2nd house and control l ed
by Vagvadini llantra. Ability to make both ends meet was
made possible by Suatna aakarshana Bhairvaas indicated
by Mars and houses 2,6, 12 and I l . Affl i cti on to Mercury,
the 4th house and the l ord of that house can cause sl ack-
ness i n the educati on of the nati ve. In such cases we have
found llayagreeva Mantra to be very effective. Blood
pres-
sure indicated by the Moon and Mars and/or Venus was
controlled by the wearing of a particular type of rudraksha;
and in some instances daily Rudradhyaya
Parayana
was
also followed with successful results. Affliction to the 7th
house and its lord and to Venus made one lose three wives

Saturn afflicted the Sth h6use denied offspring. The lady
was asked t o do l O8 pr adakshi nas

for 40 days. I-ater she conceived and
delivered a healthy chlld. An afflicted Rahu refers to the
worship of Subrahmanya and/or Durga. Saturn is best kept
under control by llanuman Challsa.
These are some of our fi ndi ngs. The mi ni mum perl od
for a mantra is a mandala of 40 days. A prolonged
illness
indicated by Lagna refers to Adltya llridayam and
Suryanamskaras.
The Vedic Riks prescribed
for the different planets
have
been found to be extremely effective. These when com-
bined with the Mantras given
by Samaya school of Sahti
worship have not failed us so far, provided
the mantra r4ja
called Gayatri preceded
and followed the same. Some
texts
give
tantrik mantras, and these have not proved
to be
so good as cl ai med. Above al l we trust that any pl anetary
affliction, if longevity is assured, can be overcome with
medication accompanied by Oayatri, Panchadasl or
Shodasl and the mala mantra of Tripura Sundari as given
in Ttipara Taplnl Upanishad. These remedial measures
have the sancti on of cel ebrated Ri shi s l i ke Parashara,
Jai mi ni , Yqj naval kya and the Upni shadi c seers.
Before we proceed

tra

She was tortured consi derabl y. She marri ed agai n,

Saturn. Here it may be noted that according to experience,
when two planets have a mutual exchange of houses, they

This offers a fuller explanation of the facts.

Saturn's aspect on Ketu clinches the issue. Moreover from
the Moon sign the 8th has Mars and Rahu.

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

1949 and became a wi dow i n September 195O. Then she
married again. Mars as lord of the 4th is in the Bth, which is

and the loth are with Rahu and afflicted. Mercury and
Venus exchange
places,
thereby making the lord of the 6th
and the 9th associated with the 9th house directly. The 8th
lord is debilitated. Saturn's aspect on the Moon is equally
bad. I"agna is unaspected. Moreover, Mars as badhaka is in
the 8th. These, explain the facts clearly. The 8th house
denoting the second marriage is stronger than the 7th and
its lord is in the lOth with the lord of the 9th. This is a
favourable

year she was happy. Then followed serious quarrels started
by her husband. Mars here is in the badhaka house. But the
8th house Jupiter and the 8th lord with the Moon in the 5th
saved her considerably from widowhood. The estrangement
too was short-lived. But it was there because Mars was in
the 7th from Karakamsa Lagna and in the 8th from
Upapada.
:
These illustrations are intended only to show the com-
plexity of
problems we have to deal with in
judging
the
nativities of women.
The skill of an astrologer lies in analysing and interpret-
lng
a chart, We propose a case study of a lady's chart to
el uci date a few pri nci pl es. She was born at 00.59 A.M. of
1935.6.6/7 at l 7.O N and 81.57 tr. The l ast si gn of the
Zodiac is rising while the lagna in the Navamsa chart is
'Simha.
The Karakmsa lagna is Kumbha. Three bodies are in
their own signs indicating a kind of Raja yoga. But of what
,avail is a R4ja
yoga for a lady brought up in the Hindu
tradi ti ons i f the chart i ndi cated wi dowhood even before she
completes forty seven years of age? She lost her husband in
November 1981.
We strongly believe that there are no exceptions to
Kujadosha if the charts of the husband and wife have the
same defect, it gets neutralised. Neutralization is not can-
cel l ati on. Si nce the former term means the avoi dance of
only the major disaster like the loss of the partner. In
reading a chart, we have to
pay attention also to the
navamasa chart, since this is a symbolic
presentation of the
part ner' s chart . As Parashara st at ed,
"Navamanshe
Kalatram." Whether the
partner will have kuja-dosha can be
found from the navsmsha chart.

Qoing back to the lady's chart let us look to the house of
children. In a woman's chart the ninth refers to children. This
house is aspected by the sixth and the twelfth lord. These are
negative facts. The ninth lord in the seventh and the seventh
lord in the eighth fronr the ninth add to be negative directions.
She was deni ed chi l dren. Why di d t hi s happen? The
navamsha chart shows the husband to be passionate. But the
seventh is hemmed in between malefics and the lord of lagna
is with Uranus in the twelfth. Uranus and Mars indicate some
kind of surgical treatment. The lady's ninth lord and the
seventh lord are in the signs ruled by the eunuch Mercury.
From her arudha lagna
(Taurus)
the seventh lord Mars is in the
fi fth, a si gn owned by Budha. Al l these factors cumul ati vel y
poi nt to a fami l y
pl anni ng operati on undergone by her hus'
band
pri or to her marri age. But as her fi fth house shows she
i s hi ghl y i ntel l i gent and sensi ti ve, and she came to know of i t
some three or four
years after her marriage. This knowledge
is the main cause of their embittered relations.
The huaband worked in the teaching

house Budha, sixth also being a house of
profession. We
are referring to the navamsa chart. There the lord of second

Uranus and Sun, he was a first rate gambler at cards and he
earned much. This
property was left to the lady-note the
lord of dhana and bhagya
(ninth) in the seventh. As the lord of
the eleventh is in the twelfth and as the significator of wealth
is in her eighth, it is clear that she cannot retain the
property
ti l l the end of her l i fe.
At the birth the balance of Mercury's
period was for years
5-5-25. The real troubl e started wi th the begi ni ng of the maj or
peri od of the Moon from 1973.12.5. Though the Moon i s i n hi s
own sign, he is in the third from arudha lagna. flis association
with the functional malefic Venus is serious. We accept the
equal house system and consider the rising degree of lagna
as the fi rst degree, not the mi ddl e one. For her seventh house
the Moon and Venus are not qui te good, from her arudha l agna
these are in the third; and from her karakamsa lagna they are
i n the si xth. The subperi od of Venus i n the mqj or

2. General outline
There are only a few references in our ancient texts and
most of them are only cursory. They have not attempted any
systematic treatment, nor have they devoted their attention
elsewhere. From the scantiness of the available literature
we cannot vi sual i se what exactl y our anci ents have thought
and deduced regarding female horoscopes.
There is one important factor which has been stressed
often. lt is that the various predictions
found in the horo-
scopes of women are to be applied to their husbands ohly.
Thi s i s a very mi sl eadi ng proposi ti on,
for i t presumes
that
women, as such, have no i ndi vi dual i t y of t hei r own. A
husband mi ght be compl etel y
j ovi al ,
and he may not have
any occasion to look gloomy.
But for all this, if his wife were
to put
upon onl y a mel anchol y appearance, i f she were to
lead only such a life, how are these to be reconciled? It is a
thing to be asked. But in most cases, as the institution
of
marriage is nothing less than a unification of the apparenfly
diverging factors of life, this formula holds good.
yet
we
have to admit it with great
caution and reticence.
Before we actually proceed
to examine the question
In its
various implications there is one more thing that we have to
bear i n mi nd. After an i ndi vi dual i s marri ed, and thi s al one
entitles him to the rank of a responsible citizen of the State,
we cannot predict
from his horoscope alone. We have always
to note the horoscope of hi s wi fe, and i n the case of a l ady of
her husband' s; we have to co-rel ate them and then al one
begi n to predi ct. Qeneral l y i t i s the l ady' s horoscope that has
a vi tal beari ng on the l i fe of the mal e' s. There i s a genUeman
whose horoscope was a very bri l l i ant one. Ti l l the ti me of hi s
marriage he was very successful and prosperous,
though he
came from a very poor
family. There is a rich genileman,
whose daughter' s horoscope i s not at al l promi si ng
enough.
But since the horoscope of the boy is a very good
one, he was
advised by some to give his daughter in marriage to him. And

he did accordingly. The boy who stood first so far in his
academic career, suddenly failed that
year. It was never
dreamt by anybody. Another
person who was mentally and
physically undergoing a regular torment till the time of his
marriage, has become now, after marriage, a perfectly normal
individual. Such considerations force us to conclude that after
marriage both the horoscopes must be consulted, and that we
have to place a
greater weight on the lady's horoscope in
almost all cases.
From the Lagna, we can
generally say something regarding
the appearance, beauty, fame and fortune of the lady. The
fo' -rrth house i s the house of happi ness and i n femal e
troroscopy it has something to say about the association
she is going to contract and about her own chastity. Much
depends on thi s to ensure
peace and happi ness of the
hearth. This is only a logical corollary and nothing else.
Chi l dren can be predi cted from the fi fth and the ni nth
houses. The ni nth house i s the house of weal th and for a
l ady her weal th i s concretel y real i sed i n her chi l dren. Fur-
ther the ninth house has again to say something regarding
her wealth and asceticism also.
But the entire trouble arises from seventh, eighth, and
ninth houses. tlere female horoscopy is widely divergent
from the male one only apparantly; for the underlying cause
i n both i s the same. Ceneral l y they are supposed to speak
about Kalatra, Ayus and Bhagya. But in a lady's horoscope,
t he sevent h denot es wel f are, nat ure of t he husband,
husband's happiness and wedded happiness. tlere there is
practically little or no difficulty in extending the related
i deas. The ei ghth house has somethi ng to say regardi ng
her
prosperi t y, wedded happi ness and wi dowhood. The
ei ghth bei ng the house of i l l heal th and death, the onl y
death or i l l heal th that matter most to a good l ady, i s the
death of her husband. Wi th the di sappearance of her hus-
band, the cord of unity is broken. And she is so to say, only
a divided self from that time onwards. And a divided self is
always a source of misery, sorrow and gloom'

The ni nth house al so has much to say regardl ng

of the good
women are di rected not to-
wards any Cod in reality, but are simply acts to ensure the

the secret underl yi ng thei r asceti ci sm. In the rel i gi ous atti -
tude, i f one i s careful enough, the sex-moti ve
can be seen
very clearly. This in short is the main outline of female
horoscopy.
Besi des thi s, there are a few pl anets
who pl ay

are to remember we are control l ed by Jupi ter, who pre-

This activity is strengthened by Jupiter, while the Moon
wants to tilt the balance. Moon is a creature of emotions
and feelings. And a woman who is swayed away by the
l nfl uences of the Moon, wi tl be an

to the extreme. As such they prove
to be the
bane of the normal hearth. fl ence the i mportance of Moon
must always he stressed in a lady's Horoscope.
Mars i s the al l y of Moon. He i s the product
of i mpul ses.
An i mpul si ve woman or man cannot mai ntai n peace

The counter
part of these two i s Mercury who i s the
symbol of
practical wisdom. A love of order, an interest in
realities and purposes, a sense of decency and sharpness are
all his
peculiar possessions.
Closely allied to Moon and Mars on the one hand, and to
Mercury on the other one is Venus. A Venusian is always
aestheti c mi nded. The l ove of the beauti ful , the attachment
to the artistic are always essential for a woman, for it is she
alone that is ultimately the connoisseur of the fairest things
and activities. But if Venus happens to be bad in a
particu-
lar horoscope,
the influences of Moon and Mars are always
to be keenly felt. Hence one must not lose sight of the
i nfl uence of Venus i n femal e horoscopy.
When al l i s sai d and done one t hi ng remai ns and t hat

possi bl e. He i s requi red to see the hard real i ty
of
t hi ngs.
But in the lady's horoscope, the
planets have a defferent
purpose. They always try to make her as otherwardly
as
possi bl e. It i s onl y when such i nfl uence i s fel t that
persons of
both the sexes can mai ntai n an equi l i bri um
and run the
gamut
of l i fe as smoothl Y
as
Possi bl e.
Cenerally the
principles of interpretation
apply to both
sexes. But There are specific differences. Moreover, women
are now competing
with men in all fields. At times the hus'
band of a woman depends on her earni ngs.
Before we
proceed further, we emphasi se
the need to
rej ect the theory of the Tri msansas and thei r i nterpretati on.

Shadvargas, Saptavargas, and Ashtakavargas have to be

we have shown the i mportance of Navamsa. We wi l l now
present an analysis of a woman's chart with reference to her
Ashtaka Varga.
5. Ashtaka Varga
There i s a di f f erence of opi ni on among moderns re-
gardi ng the cal cul ati on of Ashtaka varga. Some reckon thi s
from Bhava Chakra and others fol l ow the equal house sys-
tem. The Raj ayogas, Arl shtayogas and the l i ke menti oned
py
Parashara are appl i cabl e onl y to the
posi ti on counted

Varahami hi ra di d not consi der Bhava posi t i ons as di st i nct

"bhavana"
he meant the si gn
where a pl anet i s housed; and i t has no reference to
"bhav;1".
' Bhavana"
i s the house where one l i ves; and the

In the first chapter of the
"Uttara

the Ashtaka varga for Lagna al so
(verses
68 to 7l ). Fi ve
pl anets, the Sun, the Moon and the Lagna make total of ei ght
(ashta).
In the Lagna Ashtaka varga the benefi c pl aces
of the
Lagna are:
3, 4, 6, l O, I I and 12 f rom t he Sun; 3, 6, 1O, 1 I and l 2 f rom t he

3, 4, 5,8 and 9 from Venus; 1, 3, 4,6, l O and l l from Saturn;
and 5, 6, I O and I I from Lagna. Total bindus are 49. The grand
total comes to 586. ln later times the Lagna Ashtaka varga has
been ignored. Vaidyanatha Dikshita states:

Whatever others may say we firmly hold that there is a
strong Kuja Dosha from Lagna, Arudha Lagna, Darapada,
Upapada,
and Navamsa Chandra. The 7th house has 29
bi ndus i ncl udi ng four

dosha has onl y three bi ndus whi ch i ndi cates separati on
from near ones; but hi s rapt conj uncti on wi th Venus bri ngs
about a fusion of charm and energ5l
,
of a sensitive nature
and momentary irritability. We append the Ashtaka varga
charts before and after reduction to examine her married
l i fe. The Sodhya Pi ndas are: Lagna 586, the Sun 374, the
Moon 584, Mars 234, Yl ercury, 394' Jupi ter 567, Venus
454, Saturn 191 and Sarva Ashtaka varga463.
From Lagna onwards the benefic dots in this chart are:

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

weakest having 25. The 7th has 29, and the 8th has 27.
Looking into the total figures, we find the 28th
year (the
Sun

The Kakshya principle gives each a duration of 15
months in the sequence of Saturn, Juplter, Mars, the Sun,
Venus, Mercury, the Moon and Lagna. The l{akshyas of
Saturn, Jupiter Mercury and the Moon appear to be sound.
From the Moon and the l,agna Saturn is in an upachaya
exalted; and his Kakshya operates till May 24, 19A6. Some
favourable steps will be taken during this period; and these
will yield beneficial results soon after. Saturn's Kakshya can
only offer a hope because the sub-periods are not so good.
A correlation of these two factors compelled us to
predict
a
bright married life after July 1986 only. ln the Moon's A.V.
the sign occupied by Jupiter has five bindus; and from the
Moon he is the lord of the Sth, while from Arudha Lagna he
ls the lord of the 7th.
The Sun is in the Kakshya of Venus, his enemy. During
hi s maj or
peri od mari tal l i fe i s bound to
get di sturbed. The
Moon is in the l{akshya of Saturn, the 7th lord who is a
neutral to the mqjor lord. Family life has to be resumed
during this period. Mars in the Kakshya of Mercury, and
Rahu in that of Mars are not bad. Venus in Mercury's is
favourable, though occasional misunderstandings cannot
be ruled out because of Mercury's ownership. The others
are in Jupiter's and they are favourable in the mqjor period
of the Moon. The sub-peri od of Jupi ter appears to be the
best. From the Sun the 7th has bi ndus contri buted by the
Sun, Mars and Mercury. Mars as lord of the 5rd and the 8th
from the Sun has caused adverse influences. From the
Moon, the 7th has bindus contributed by the Moon, the
Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn. This is an excellent
posi-
tion ensuing a happy marital life. Considered from any point
of view the major period
of the Moon favours a reunion and
it is supported by A.V. by the transits, and by the major and
minor periods of the natal chart.
Rahu is in the adverse 7th, unaspected by any. As per
Sambhu lilora, his location has bindus from the Sun, Mer-
cury, Venus and Jupiter. The last is inimical to the preced-
ing two, and is an enemy of Venus. The Sun too is inimical
to Venus. Thus Rahu offers mixed results for the 7th house
indications. The contribution of the bindus by Mercury and
Venus does forebode a favourable situation finally. In

Rahu' s own Ashtaka varga houses 1,2 and 6 have onl y three

l f e entered Scorpi o on December 8, 1984. She was unfor-
tunately married on July 9, 1979 and was consummated on
October 19, 1979. Saturn was transiting Leo and in his own
A.V. he has only two bindus. The marriage was in the Moon's
sub-peri od of the Sun. The two are i n 2-L2 rel ati on. She l ast
heard from her husband on October 27, 1980. Saturn was
transiting her Sun and there was the sub-period of Rahu
operating. Transit Jupiter on the Moon brings losses. tle was
there form August 23, 1979 to September 20, 198O. Duri ng
September 1979 she had rheumati c corea i n Jupi ter' s
subperiod of Venus. She could
get
over it as Jupiter has four
bindus in Leo. Jupiter was transiting exactly on her natal Sun
who was in the nervous Virgo.
Transit Mars on the 7th brings quarrels with the husband.

bi ndus) from February 18, 1979 to
March 2A, 1979. He has two bi ndus onl y i n Vi rgo, Li bra and

which there are very few bindus. This is again subject to the
natal chart. But Saturn as the 7th lord exalted has to confer
benefic results; and these will come slowly and late, after
trying the patience
of the native.
Saturn was on her Moon on June 7, l gTB and Mars on
June 5, 197a. Mars was on her Venus on Jul y 6, l g7g, Saturn
on February 9, 1979, and Mars again December 25, 1979. tle
transited her Saturn on August 26, 1980. Saturn was on her
Venus on November l O, 1978, February 9, l 9Z9 and Jul y J0,
1979; on her Mars on November 12, 1978, February 6, l gTg
and August L, 1979. Rahu was on her Mars and Venus on June
lO, 12, 1979. These translts are capabte of suggesting a
number of facts about her 2nd and 4th houses. These can be
found out on close scrutiny and questioning.
The one fact ttrat
strengthens our hope is the position
of the 7th lord and
Jupiter's aspect on him.
The 2nd l ord has three bi ndus i n the 2nd and the 7th; and
so have Venus and Saturn i n the 7th. Thi s i s a di squi eti ng
posi ti on. But i n the 4th house except Mars and Jupi ter al l
others have 4 to 6 bi ndus; and i n the l 2th
(comforts
of the
bed) all have 4 to 6 bindus; and one can safely predict a
reunion on the basis of A.V. ln relation to the natal chart. After
the second reduction only Mars, Mercury and Venus have no
bi ndus i n the 7th.
4. Speclal features
1. If the Moon l s stronger than the Sun, the
predi cti ons
are to be based on the Moon-sign. The problem
of odd
and even signs rising, the Ploon in an odd or even sign,
and masculine or feminine planels posited
therein or
a.specting it is not of much signiflcance.
2, Lagna, Moon-sign, seventh and eighth houses must be
strong and favourable. Malefics should not be in the
seventh and eighth houses.

makes her husband dislike her. But if Kuja is in the
navamsa of Shukra aspected by a benefic, she will be
her husband's favourite.
Chandra and Shukra in a lagna owned by Kuja, make
her develop an aversion to her husband. Moon and
Budha in such a lagna make her an expert in discuss-
Ing higher truth. Chandra, Budha and Shukra in such a
lagna give
her all comforts. Quru in such a lagna gives
her
good
son, intelligence and omaments.
When benefics are exalted, but the eighth is a malefic
sign with a malefic aspected by another malefic, she
becomes a widow. The lord of the eighth in the
navamsa of a malefic does not give her a long happy
married life. Benefics should be in the eighth if she
were to pass
away before her husband.
Benefics in the ninth and a malefic in seventh or eighth
gives her a happy married life, prosperity,
comforts,
happiness and children. Malefics in the fourth give
her
many chi l dr en, accor di ng t o Vai dyanat ha but
Mantreshwara observes that she will not be chaste.
Vrishabha, Simha, Kanya or Vrishchika is the langa
and the Moon in the fifth gives
her few sons. She has
few children if the Moon is in these signs.
Malefics in 4 or 8 give her poverty
and sorrow; but if
these houses have benefics also, she has both good
and also evil results; and if there are only benefics, she
has
prosperity
and good fortune.

by a weapon.
If both benefics and malefics are in the seventh, she
will remarry. If weak malefics are in the seventh, she
will be rejected by her husband.
When the navamsha occupied by Kuja becomes the
seventh from lagna, she has a uterine disorder.
If Chandra and Shukra are in lagna, she has short
temper and she lives in comfort. Chandra alone in

aspected by benefics to make her happy. When Moon is
In Karkalagna, and Chandra, Budha, Ouru and Shukra are
strong, she is learned in arts and sciences and she
wields a spiritual influnce. Benefics in the second and a
malefic in the eighth bring her death before that of her
husband. When the lords of I and 7 areln one house, or
when they exchange houses and are aspected with a
benefic, the husband and the wife will die at the same
t i me.
When t he sevent h i s weak and unoccupi ed ar d

the husband i s a wretch. Budha i n her seventh makes
him impotent. Eudha and Shani in her seventh make
her barren or hated by her husband.
The
position
of the
planets in the seventh from the
navamsha lagna must be noted. Sun there makes her
husband

devoted husband, but gal l ant; Budha-l earned husband,
Quru-husband havi ng sel f-control ; Shukra-husband i s

wealthy and longJlved; if they are asssociated with the
fourth house or Budha, he wi l l be l earned; i f they are

17. A woman becomes voluptuous under the foilowing
combinations; (a)
Shani in Shukra's navamsha, and,
Shukra in Shani's navamsha, aspecting each other;
(b)
Lagna is owned by Shukra and the navamsha is
Kumbha.
18. Consider the seventh house from lagna or Moon
whichever is stronger. If that house has no planet,
is
not aspected by any benefic, or is weak, then her
husband is wicked. If Budha or Shani is in that sev-
enth, her husband is impotent; If there is Sun, she will
be deserted by her husband; if Kuja, a widow; if Shani,
she becomes prematurely
old. If in the seventh there is
a weak malefic aspected by a malefic, she will be
:
deserted. When there are malefics, she becomes a
widow. If there are both benefics and malefics, she
may marry again.
19. When Shukra is in Kuja's navamsha and kuja in
Shukra's, she has loose morals. If the seventh has
Shukra, Kuja and Chandra, the same result follows.
Chandra and Shukra in a lagna owned by Kuja or Shani
aspected by malefics give
her a doubtful character.
20. When the seventh house and its navamsha are owned
by Shani, her husband is old, and foolish. If Kqia
navamsha rises as the seventh for a sign owned by
Kuja, she is always sick, and her husband is full of
anger and is fond of other women.
21. Chandra and Shukra in lagna make her envious and
fond of
pleasures.
Chandra and Budha in lagna make
her happy, talented in music, and she has excellent
qualities.
If Budha and Shukra are in lagna, she is
beautiful, and well versed in fine arts.

Mariages
Matching
and Kqia Dosha
l. Maniage
Marriages are made in heaven'says an old adage. The time
of marriage is generally
believed to be flxed by destiny. This
is a disputable point.
Dharma shastras speak of the four ends
of l i fe, of whi ch Dharma shastra l ays down the rul e that one
must marry. From the state of Brahmacharyaone
can proceed
directly to the ashrama of Sanyasa.Onecanrenouncethe
world
the moment he feels to:
Yad ahar eva vir4jet
tad ahar eva pravr4iet.
One need not necessarily proceed
through the different
ashramas to become a sanyasi. This in essence means that
the time of marriage is not a fixed one. In the horoscope of
a person, it is not easy to say that one will be married at a
given
time. On the other hand, an astrologer
can discover in
a chart different periods
when marriage is likely to take
place.
If the marriage somehow does not occur at those
times, there might develop a spiritual era
-
spiritual attach-
ment during those times. If we accept this framework, then
the following hints would become significant.
Marriage in the tlindu tradition is not meant for the
enjoyment of sexual
"pleasures".
Marriage is intended pri-
marily for begetting children; and at the same time it per-
mits the husband and the wife to perform
certain rites and

to discharge certain duties. This naturally implies that a pos-
si bi l i t y t o mar r y i s det er mi ned by t he i ndi vi dual ' s
willingenss or unwillingness, and ability or disability to carry
out these duties. In other words, the potentiality
of the 7th
house in a chart is governed
by the nature of the 5th,
gth
and lOth houses.
While fixing the auspicious moment for marriage, one has
to observe certai n rul es. Transi ti ng Saturn and Rahu shoul d
not affl i ct radi cal Venus of the boy and radi cal Mars of the gi rl .
They shoul d not be transi ti ng the 7th house of ei ther, or
aspecti ng i t. The radi cal Moon of the boy and the gi rl shoul d
not be afflicted by transiting Saturn or Rahu. The lord of the 7th
house of either should not transit through a malefic house
from the Ascendant of either. Mars should not transit through
the l st, the 7th and the 8th houses from the Lagna of ei ther.
The transiting malefics should not be in the Lagna and the 7th
house of ei ther. Venus i n transi t shoul d not be i n a mal efi c
house from the Ascendant of the boy; and Mars in transit
should not be in a malefic house from the Ascendant of the
girl. The Moon at the time of marriage must be in a benefic
house from the Lagnas of both.
In addition to these, there are other principles given
i n our texts. The boy i s to be marri ed i n an odd year
from the date of hi s bi rth, and the gi rl i n an even year. The
Moon must t r ansi t t hr ough Rohi ni , Mr i gasi r a, Makha,
Ut t ar aphal guni , Hast a, Swat i , Anur adha, Mool a,
Uttarashadha, Uttarabhadrapada or Revati. The best Lagnas
are Mi thuna, Kanya and Thul a, provi ded Venus i s not i n the
6th and Mars i s not i n the 8th. No marri age shoul d take

Poorvashadha, Poorvabhadrapada, Punarvasu, Pushyami ,

The second, third, fifth, seventh, tenth, eleventh and thir-
teenth lunar days and the months of Vaisakha, Jyeshta,
Sravana, Aswayuja, Magha and Phalguna are auspicious.
One must avoid Chaitra when the Sun is in Meena

persolt
was married when his lord of t,agna
(Jupiter)
was transiting on his radical Venus situated in the
l lth from the Moon; and this radical Venus had the aspect
of his radical Jupiter. Curiously enough, this Jupiter at that
time was transiting over the lord of the 7th house in the
chart of the girl he was marrying. This is a powerful
indica-
t i on i ndeed.
More precise fixation of the time is possible when we
follow the Vimshottari Dasa system. Here again we advise a
scrutiny of the relative strength of the Lagna and the Moon;
and then the dasas can be worked out. The dasas and
antardasas of the lords of the 7th, the 2nd and 4th houses,
the
period of Venus, the periods of planets posited
in the
2nd, the 4th and the 7th, and the period
of the planet
having the lowest number of degrees in any house
-
these
are some of the favourable periods for marriage. llaving
ascertained the major period, then one can
proceed
to fix
Vidasa and the Antardasa.
Marriage is an institution with varied association. In
Hi ndui sm and i n the Cathol i c rel i gi on, at l east, i t i s taken to
be an i ndi ssol ubl e and sacred i nsti tuti on. To these fai ths,
marriages are literally made in heaven. In some countries
marriage is a contract and it is therefore capable of being
dissolved. Even where the law of divorce is found on the
statute book, some countries like the United Kingdom do
not allow a divorce as far as the royal family is concerned.
When we turn to astrology, we only know that marriages are
largely
governed by planetary dispositions. We do not think
that astrolory would sanction divorce or oppose it, since
astrolory is neither a legislature nor a
judge.
Astrology only
enables us to read the tendencies and indications that
make a marriage happy or otherwise.
Since the zodiac begins with Aries
(Mesha),
the natural
seventh is Libra
(Thula).
The main indicators of marriage
are Libra and its lord, as far as men are concerned. The
seventh from Libra being Aries, the chief indicators of mar-

riage for a woman are Aries and Mars and also Jupiter. In a
woman' s chart, the Moon too must be taken i nto consi der-
ation since the menstrual period is regulated by Moon and
Mars; and in a man's nativity Sun too must be examined
carefully.
In a man's chart, we have to consider Libra and the 7th
from the ascendant, Sun and Venus; and i n a woman' s we
must note Aries and the seventh from the ascendant, Moon
and Mars. The eighth houses from these govern the sex life;
and therefore Scorpio for men and Taurus for women have
to be added to the list. Then the extra-marital life is deter-
mined by the twelfth house from the ascendant; and in a
man's chart, Pisces too needs scrutiny while in a woman's
Virgo too deserves a study. This might terrify one since'all
the houses and
planets appear to get into the
picture. But
what is needed is to find out the strongest among the
ascendnat, Sun and Venus i n a man' s chart, and among the
ascendant Moon and Mars i n a woman' s. The m4j or scruti ny
should be from this
point only. The others are needed as
corroborating or strengthening aids only.
An affliction to a planet or house arises from a conjunc-
ti on wi th or an aspect by a pl anet who i s a mal efi c by nature
or by ownershi p or by both. If a conj uncti on wi th or an
aspect by a benefi c al so operates, then we get the mi xed
character of the house or
pl anet.
A strong, well-placed and unafflicted Venus gives a har-
moni ous and bal anced mari tal l i fe of man. A si mi l ar Mars
governs the balanced sex life of woman. These are the two
basi c
pl anets. Venus i s to be exami ned wi th (he Sun, and
Mars wi th the Moon. The posi ti on of Venus i n a mal e chart
i s to be compared wi th that of Mars i n the wi fe' s chart; and
a si mi l ar compari son between the Sun i n the husband' s
chart and the Moon in the wife's is necessary. Whether they
aspect one another, they are in square or trine to one
another, or they are i ni mi cal to one another must be care-
fully noted. The next step is to see whether the Navamsa
chart of the wife agrees with the Rasi chaft of the husband
and wheher the Rasi chart of the wife agrees with the
Navamsa chart of the husband. These
preliminary observa-
tions will be taken up for a scrutiny and illustration at a later

6tage. Now we have to consider the
possible effects result-
lng from certain
positions of the
planets. In the following,
' he'
means and i ncl udes
' she'
al so.
The Sun in the seventh indicates a successful marriage;
and in the eighth a successful interest in the affairs where
the strongest feelings are involved and in matters of sex.
The Moon in the seventh makes one change his attitudc
frequently
towards those intimately related to him; and he
hopes the marriage
partner to be motherly.
The eighth
house
position stimulates these interests. Mercury in the
seventh can either advance or retard reciprocity
of feelings
and emotions,
and in the eighth he affects the emotions
roused by others. Venus in the seventh is a very
good
indication
of happy marriage
and of the ability to live with
others in
peace and happiness. If this Venus is afflicted'
there may be disappointment
in this direction. In the eighth
Venus secures a balanced
sex life if it is not afflicted' Mars
in the seventh
makes one forceful in intimate
realtionships'
If afflicted,
it might bring about irritation and
quarrels' In
the eighth it makes sex life very important for the native'
The seventh house Jupiter
is very
good for marriage life' In
the eighth it brings
prosperity through marriage. Saturn in
the seventh brings about frustration and disappointment
in
marriage,
if it is afflicted. ln the eighth it makes one serious
in matters concerning
sex.
Of the various signs involved
in a consideration of the
problem of marriage, there are a few sensitive
degrees
which may be noted. All these refer to Nirayana or sidereal
Zodi ac onl y.
Aries: lo: The sexual need is an inescapable
necessity'
It might be almost falal. 2ot one is fierce, restless and
selfish, whimsical,

2. Matching
There are many unfounded beliefs and ideas about
matching charts for marriage purposes.
First, there are
twenty Kutas based on the Nakshatras of the Moon of which
eleven are taken to be important. They give
a total score of
55, and we are told that eighteen is the required minimun.
Each Varga or Kuta has a specific function as follows:
(
I
)
Dina: l-ongevity, health, fortune. This is important for
Brahmanas. (2)
Oana.. Health, auspiciousness.
This is im-
portant
for Kshatriyas. (5)
Yoni: Qhildren, mutual compat-
ibility. This is important for Sudras.
(4)
Ralju: Long life with
husband.
(5)
Vedha: Mutual opposition
(6)
Nadi:
physical
well-being, happiness. (7)
Mahendra; Children and grand-
children.
(8)
Stree deetgha: Health.
(9)
Rasi: Progeny. This is
,lmportant
for Vaisyas. (lO)
Rasyadhipati: Children and
(l
l)
Vasya: Mutual agreement.
The others are Canitagata Ayurdaya, Aya, Jati,
pakshi,
Yogini, Linga, Bhuta, Chandra and Qotra. These refer to
longevity, incompatibility, good
or bad, quarrels,
misunder-
standi ngs, enmi ty, auspi ci ousness and i ni mi cal nature.
Generally, the first eleven alone are taken into account.
In North Indi a, the man and hi s bri de havi ng the same
Nadi is said to be inauspicious. Possibly Nadi refers to
blood
groups.
In Tamil Nadu and other places persons
having the same Rajju are not allowed to be husband and
wife-Eka rajjurmrityukari. The same Rqjju'for both brings
about death. In our illustrations we will show the couple
having the same Nadi or same Rajju or both.
Our authorities are kind enough to see that marriages
are accomplished. llence they provide
exceptions. We are
told that there is no Nadi defect if the birth constellations
are Kri t t i ka, Rohi ni , Mri gasi ra, Magha, t l ast a, Swat i ,
Anuradha, Moola, Shravana or Revati. Muhurta Chintamani
states that there is no Nadi defect if the Moon-sign is the
same with different Nakshatras, or the same Nakshatra with
different signs or quarters.
Counti ng the Nakshatras from Ashwi ni , the same
l f akshat ra i s al l owed i f i t i s 4, 6, l O, 13, L6, 22, 26 and 27.

The Nakshatras I

The first Nakshatra being that of the girl,
the following
pairs
are prohibited.
2 and 9; 9 and lS; l4-2O; lZ-25;25-2;24-
3; 18-24; L2-5; 13-19; 16-10; and lG-22. The tast two show
opposition or enmity. l-22 and 26-b indicate widowhood.
lg-
24 indicate destruction of family, l2-5 and tJ-I9 show fear of
life.

26-20
(attachment),
and 8-2
(happiness).
Added to these is Kuja Dosha. From the Langa or frorn
t he Moon, Mars i s i naupi ci ous i n 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12. Of t hese
2, 7, I are the worst. Both the charts shoul d have si mi l ar
pl acement.
Some authori ti es speak of excepti ons. We do
not admit these exceptions, as our illustrations show.

in the other. Similarly, compare the Sun of one with that of
Venus in the other, and vice versa. Also compare the sign
occupied by the Sun with that of Jupiter in the other, and vice
versa.
(
I O) Compare the positions of the Moon in the two charts.
If the Moon-signs of the two are in the houses of Saturn,
the
girl's Moon is in the 2nd
(Aquarius).
If these are in mutual Kendras, Konas or sextile
(5-l
l), it
is a plus point. If they are in 2-12 or 6-8 relations, it is minus
point. The plus points
should be more for recommending the
match.
In addition, we have some more rules.
(11)
Consider the longevity in the two charts; who has a
longer life is to be determined.
(12)
The
positions from Lagna occupied by the 7th and
the 8th l ords have to be consi dered i n the two charts
separately. Note whether Mars, Saturn, Kahu or Uranus are in
the 7th or 8th houses of the two charts.
(15)
After del i neati ng the vari ous Vargas i n the 5rd
chapter of Parashara lfora the sage has stated: Navamamse
kalatranam
(verse
lO5). From the Navamsha chart we have
to interpret everything about the
partner. Thus we have to
compare the Kasi chart of one with the Navamsa chart of
the other, and vice versa. There should be a broad agree-
ment between the two. Sometimes the people deliberately
or otherwise deny having the chart of the boy or
girl.
In such
a case, the available Kasi and Navamsa charts of one
per-
son need a close comparison.
These are some of the rules we have applied in actual
experi ence. In addi ti on we refuse to accept any excepti ons
to Kuj a Dosha. Kuj a
(Mars)
i n 2, 7 or I of the
gi rl ' s chart
has to be neutral i sed by Mars i n 2, 7 or I of the boy' s
chart. Moreover, much i mportance need not be attached to
the Kutas, though some of these are real l y val uabl e l i ke
Nadi and Rajju. The count from the Nakshatra of one to that
of the other for Tarabal a i s faul ty and mi schi evous. We
i l l ustrate some of these
pri nci pl es
for a proper
under-
st andi ng.

5. Special
points
The significator of the partner is generally
found in the
si xth or the ei ghth house. Sun, Moon or Venus of one chart
may be found on the arc of the other. The Sun of one may
be pl aced
on the Moon of the other, though thi s. i s not
essent i al .
Quru i n the seventh or aspecti ng the rul er of the seventh
may indicate the death of the partner
and a second mar-
riage. The Sun applying to Uranus in a woman's chart some-
ti mes shows the sudden i l l ness or acci dent to the husband.
Lord of 7 i n 5, and of 5 i n 7, or the conj uncti on of these
two lords can indicate love marriage or no worldly motives
in marriage. Strong malefic aspects, specially from Shani to
the fifth and seventh houses indicate celibacy.
Trouble in marriage or sex relation is shown by afflicted
Mina 15o, Karka 260, Kanya 2o and l5', Simha 4o, Ylakara
26o and Kumbha 40.
The eleventh house has also to be consldered as it indi-
cates the mental interests, wishes, hopes, aspirations and
fri endshi ps.

Uranus plays as great a part as Mars in marital relations.
Uranus gives unexpected development, accidents, and ro-
mantic exploits. tle points to the nature of the native's
dealigs with officials. His influence on the seventh house,
on the seventh lord, and on Venus has to be scrutinised.
As ltetu owns Vrischika, Ketu also functions like Kuja in
marital affairs. Kuja dosha may have to be extended to Ketu
also.
Another planet is Neptune. He govems anxieties, wor-
ries, tricky condition, dreams, voyages, art, drugs, gas and
water.
4. Kqia" Ketu and Uranus
Purva Mimamsa system of philosophy has given
us
some
principles of interpretation which are implicitly ac-
cepted in
jurisprudence
and elsewhere. One such principle
lays down the sequence of sruti, linga, vakya, prakarana,
sthana, and samkhya. Dach succeeding one is weaker than
the preceeding one. By Sruti, Sabara stated, we have to
mean the sacred scripture, statements of the seers, and
experience of wise man. The places where Kuja dosha
occurs are stated and these have absolute authority like
Sruti. Some zealots flaunt before us some exceptions to this
rule, and these are given by later writers, and not by those
who laid down the original principle. Exceptions do not
nullify the original maxim. Here we may note that some of
the
principles of interpretation given by Purva Mimamsa are
codified in the form of maxims or axioms. One such is
relevant here. It is
-dadhitakranyaya-.
It is laid down that
"all the Brahmanas should be served with curds while
l{aundinya should have buttermilk". It does not deny that
the
poor Kaundinya is a Brahmana. Elut the fellow deserved
buttermilk and not curds, even though he is a Brahmana.
The exception does not cancel or negate the original; it only
modifies the original in a given case. Likewise the so called
exceptions do not cancel the Kuja dosha. They only modify
it. This should be borne in mind carefully.
There are some unwritten
princlples in astrology as in
all other branches of knowledge. These are orally transmit-

ted because they are liable to be misinterpreted.
One such
may be shared with the readers. For a proper
interpretation
of any chart we have to consider lagna, arudha lagna, and
chandra lagna. When it is a problem
conceming marriage
we have also to consider the position
from Dara-pada
(arudha
of the seventh), and Upapada
(arudha
of the
twel fth), and Venus. When al l these are consi dered, there
will be very few charts free from Kuja dosha. It is true, but
Kuja dosha does not mean death of the partner always. It
may mean temporary or
permanent
separation because of
health or profession,
misunderstandings, quarrels,
suffer-
ings and the like. As the Buddha said-show me any family
where absolute domestic peace prevails
all the
year
round.
Mars is said to be exalted in the seventh house of Sri Rama.
This position is one of the exceptions listed. For twelve
years the couple suffered and for one year they were physi-
cally separated. Dven when Kuja is in his own in the seventh
or eighth the effect remains. A lady with Kuja in the eighth
in Scorpio aspected by Curu from the second house, was
divorced. Mars in a movable sign in the eighth has made the
nat i ve a wi dower when he was barel y t went y si x.
Mrs. Gandhi with Mars in the second for Cancer lagna and
wi th the Sun i n the fourth di d not enabl e her husband to
live long. What happened to the exception in Leo? Another
with Gemini rising had Kuja with Chandra in the second.
Debi l i tated Kuj a or Kuj a wi th the Moon or Jupi ter i s sai d to
be exception. He gave
up his wife and became a Sanyasi.
Mrs. Bandaranayake has Kuja debilitated in the twelfth. We
know all about Troy, said the sirens in tlomer's Odyssey. In
some examples Kuja is conjunct Quru in the eighth house
Leo. tle lost his wife within a year
of his marriage. A lady
with Karka langa has Kuja and Shani in the fourth, and she
had numerous love affairs before she got
married. Another
with unaspected Kuja in the seventh for Mesha lagna be-
came a widow at the age of 55 only. Kuja in the twelfth for
Scorpio
got her divorced nine years after marriage. A lady
had debilitated Curu in lagna and Kuja in Cancer : she was
harassed by her husband, and was separated within three
years.
Kuja dosha can also delay or deny marriage. Experience
and examples have the final say.

846 TEXT BOOK OF SCTENTIFIC ITINDU ASTROLOOY
It is said that Mars in the seventh in the constellation of the
lord of the eleventh will do only
good. This could appear for
those born in Mesha, Karka, Simha, Kanya, Vrishchika,
Dhanush, Makara, Kumbha, and Mina. A rule which is not
applicable to nine out of the twelve lagnas cannot be a rule.
A rule must have universal validity.
Of late it is fashionable to find exceptions to Kuja dosha
in the theory of the subs. The late Mr. Gopala Krishna Rao
(Meena) published his Studies in Nadi Astrologlt between
1932 and 1937 and introduced this theory. lle was wise
enough to take into consideration only the constellational
lords. But as it is flaunted about now, it lands us in an
i nfi ni te seri es. If l agna i s i n Curu-sub Budha' , Budha may be
i n Shukra-sub, Shukra i n Chandra, Chandra i n Kuj a and so
on. You have to take the theory to i ts l ogi cal concl usi on,
and not stop where i t sui ts
you. Parashara' s mahadasa,
antardasa, vidasa, sukshma dasa, and Pranadasa are free from
this defect. Any theory can be formulated to explain a past
event. But it is better to take a chart,
predict in advance, and
publish the same in advance. Otherwise any one can say that
he or she
predi cted such and such a thi ng i n advance: and
none can
prove or di sprove i t. The l aw of evi dence i n such
cases is not reliable.
We believe on the basis of our most ancient authorities
and experience in the equal house system' The cusp is not
the midpoint, but the first
point.'lf Bhavas are to be followed,
our ancients followed the method of trisection, not the unsci'
enti fi c Pl aci dean system. We hol d to the
pri nci pl e of Kuj a
dosha as absol utel y and uni versal l y val i d; onl y the i nterpre'
tati on of thi s dosha i s di fi erent i n each case, and i t depends
on the navamsha chart and on matchi ng the charts' Death,
di vorce, separati on, deni al or del ay of marri age, i l l -heal th
and the like are the
possible results. Care should be exer-
cised in watching the charts and in evaluating the aspects'
We have to accept square, trine, conjunction, opposition,
sextile, and semisquare aspects for all planets. Except
i n the case of the Sun and the Moon, the orb of the
aspect extends to eight degrees before and after. The
luminaries
have an orb of twelve degrees. Moreover,
Uranus in many ways functions like Mars in the context of

marital life. The astrologer should not try to console or to
eye-wash the anxious
parents of
girls. If he cannot speak
out truly, he should observe silence' There are no excep-
tions to Kuja dosha. This is what we found after 60 years of
study of astrology. While matching, if we find similai Kuja
dosha the results
get modified and never completely can-
cel l ed.
Let us note the arudhas of lagna, the seventh house and
the twel fth house al so whi l e exami ni ng
Kuj a dosha. We wi l l
now l ook at Arudha.
5. Amdha
Arudha lagna is important for predictive purposes. The
distance
from the lagna to the sign occupied
by its lord,
both inclusive, is to be counted from that lord to
get the
Arudha
lagna. This
principle is given by Jaimini when he
saidt
'Yavadeesasrayam
Padam Rikshanam".
Though many
authorities
have ignored the Arudha of the houses 5' 6, A
and I l, Parashara was clear that the Arudhas have to be
taken for all the 12 houses.
q-{qqfr
qrqnriqiq
tfqt
(Telugu edition by
M.K. Sastri , 50.5).
Thus if the lord of the lagna is in the 9th from lagna, the
9th from him is the Arudha lagna. It happens to be the 5th
from lagna. Special
or specific
(Visesha) results are to be
predi cted from Arudha
padas of al l the
l 2 houses' Cautama
bamhita,
and Uttara
Kalamrita mention only eight arudhas'
But Parashara
and Jai mi ni appear to i ncl ude al l houses'
Arudha
Lagna is known as Vijnana
(wisdom), Purva
(previ-

(duti es), Vyanj ana
(suggesti on)' Pada,
Ni mi tta
(cause),
Bhava
(fami l y l i fe), Rupa
(appearance),
Pradesa
(place) and arudha. Cautama Samhita
gives some
specific
details.
The arudha of the 2nd house tel l s us about weal th,
clothes,
substances
regarding
food, fortune, speech and
family.
The arudha of the 4th refers to
gardens, wells,
friends,
progress, happiness,
worship, strength and convey-
ances.
The arudha of the 5th refers to tantra, mantra'
power, relations
with others,
children, and Purva Punya' The

arudha of the 9th tells us about special prosperity,
fortune,
generous nature, dharma, good karma, teacher, righteous-
ness, and penance.
The arudha of the loth refers to profession, authority,
war, enjoyment,
prosperity, honour, knowledge and the
like. The arudha of the l2th refers to marriage and related
matters. Most of the
yogas are to be predicted from the
ar udhas of houses L, 4, 5, 7, 9 and l O.
This general rule about arudha is qualified on two occa-
si ons by both Parashara
(5O.4,5)
and Jai mi ni . A pl anet i n
its own house or in the 7th from it cannot be treated as its
own arudha for that house.

This is Parashara. In such a case the loth from the
house becomes i ts arudha. For exampl e the l 2th l ord for
Mi na l agna i s i n Si mha. The arudha for the l 2th cannot be
Kumbha. It becomes Vri shchi ka. l f a pl anet i s i n the 4th
itself is the arudha for that sign. Thus for Mina Lagna, the
7th lord is in Sagittarius, 4th from Kanya. The arudha of the
7th
(dara pada) is Sagittarius only, and not Mina. These are
specially
given by Jaimini in his Sutras
"Swasthe
Darah",
and
"Suthasthe
Janma-.
If for a native born in Mesha l-agna Mars is in Cancer,
the Arudha l.agna is Cancer only. These restrictions apply
onl y when the l ord of the house i s i n hi s own si gn or i n the
7th from it, and when he is in the 4th from that sign. Thus
for Mi na l agna nati ve, Kuj a i s i n 8, Shukra i s i n 9, Budha i s
i n l O and Chandr a i s i n l l . The ar udhas of 2, 5, 4, 5 and
7 houses are from lagna onwards the houses Ylakara,
Kumbha, Mi na, Mesha, and Dhanus.
Comment at or s on Jai mi ni l i ke Ni l akant ha,
Krishnananda
and others have
given different opinions.
Hora Saramsha
(Bombay
Ddn.) states that the lord of a
house is in that house or in the 7th from it, that house itself
is the arudha of that house. This text does not refer to the
Visesha Vidhi
(special
rule of exception). Therefore some
argue that Jaimini has
given only examples, and not or-
dained special rules.

' Swa'

Ni l akantha has i gnored the rul e gi ven by Jai mi ni . As such the
aphorism is not an example, but a modification of the original
i n two speci al cases. In
' Sutasthe

Ni l akantha took suta
(67 di vi ded by l 2=remai nder 7) to mean seven the Janma to
'
mean l agna and not

fourth. He cleverly misinterpreted
parts of the sutras. He has
not gi ven any authori ty i n favour of hi s i nterpretati on. The
commentary of Durga Prasad Dwivedi is acceptable as against
Ni l akantha.
Bal a Kri shnananda Swami states that the second house
refers to the wi fe or husband, the I l th to the el der brothers
and si sters, the
pl anet i n the 2nd to the
partner and so on.
Hi s commentary does not fi t i nto the context.
In his commentary as Jaiminiya Padyamrita, Ayodhya
Natha has stated the vi ew whi ch we have stated earl i er.
Somanatha i n hi s Kal pal ata i nterpreted
' Sva' to
mean own
house. Thus when a
pl anet i s i n i ts own house, the fourth
from it is its arudha; and when it is in the 7th from that
house, the l oth from that house i s the arudha of that
house.
Somanatha's father Krishna Misra has
given us Jyotisha
Phata Ratnamala. He argued that if the house is an odd sign,
the count for arudha i s i n the cl ockwi se di recti on and i f i t i s
an even sign, the count is from the Sammukla
(opposite)
si gn. The Sammukha si gns for the cardi nal or movabl e
signs are the 8th houses and for the fixed signs these are
the 6th houses from it. But for even signs we have to find
whether that sign or its other sign is stronger; and from the
stronger si gn the arudha i s to be fi xed. The count here i s
cl ockwi se. The arudhas are cl ockwi se or anti cl ockwi se as
the si gns are odd or even.
For a nati vi ty of Li bra the 9th has Budha and Shukra.
The Arudha l agna wi l l be Kumbha. For a Taurus nati ve the
position of Budha and Shukra is in Mithuna. Then they are

in the 2nd and the arudha lagna will be Cancer. Then Budha
and Shukra are in the l2th from arudha lagna the latter is an
even si gn.
Krishna Misra also stated that according to some the
arudha is not only from that sign but also from the sign
occupied by the lord of that sign. Of these we have to
determi ne the stronger one as per Jai mi ni ' s rul es and then
count. Scorpi o i s owned by Kuj a and Keti r, whi l e Kumbha i s
owned by Shani and Rahu. If Ketu i s stronger than Kuj a, and
Rahu stronger than Shani , the arudhas are to be counted
from Ketu and Rahu respecti vel y. Sti l l the author i s cl ear
that thi s rul e appl i es onl y to the
peri od of the years gi ven by
si gns occupi ed by them.
When the lord of the sign is in it, he says that the fourth
from it is its arudha, and if he is in the 7th from it then its
lOth is its arudha. The word
'sva'in
the first quarter of the first
chapter of Jaimini is taken by Somanatha to mean lagna, and
in the second
quarter of the first chapter he took it to mean
the fourth sign. The word
'anyatra'was
taken to mean the
l Oth by hi m.
Raghava Bhatta
(1704
AD) interpreted the two special
sutras of Jaimini to refer only to the
years given by those
si gns when a
pl anet i s i n i ts own si gn, that si gn gi ves twel ve
years. If i t i s i n the 7th from i t that si gn
gi ves ten years.
In his Jaimini Sutrartha Pradarsika, Narasimha Suri
stated i f a si gn has i ts own owner, that very si gn i s the
arudha of that house and i t gi ves twel ve
years. If that
pl anet
is in the 7th from it, that sign
gives ten
years' In an example
of Mesha Lagna given by him, Kuja is in the Makara and the
arudha lagna is given as Tula.
Thus we have two di fferent vi ews. The arudhas are
counted in the normal way. If a planet is in its own sign or
in the 7th from it, that very sign is its arudha. The second
view makes the fourth from that sign its arudha. In such a
situation we have to
go by the m4jority opinion among the
classical authorities. If a
planet is in its own sign, that sign
is its arudha, if it is in the 4th, the arudha of that is the
fourth; if in the 7th, the arudha is the loth, and if it is in the
l Oth, the arudha of that si gn i s the 7th.
tlere is enough material for further research.

MARRIAGE:

There has been much di scussl on about Kuj a Dosha' In
houses

and l 2 from L,agna, the Moon or Venus i t

Many exceptions
are
given In the authoritative
texts.
Following the maxim
"Kujavat Ketuh" we are inclined
to apply the same dosha to Ketu also.
First, we note some of the exceptions
mentioned by
some
authorities:
(i)
No Dosha if Kuja or Mars is in the 2nd

(i i ) No Dosha i f Mars i s

No
Dosha
i n the 4th i f i t i s the own house of Mars.
(i v)
No Dosha
in the 7th if it is Cancer or Capricorn.
(v)
No Dosha in the
8th if it is owned by Jupiter.
(vi)
No Dosha if Mars is in L'eo
or Aquari us.
(vi i ) No Dosha i f Mars i s conj unct Jupi ter or
Moon.
(viii)
No Dosha for the l-agnas owned by the Sun' the
Moon,
Mars and Jupi ter
and al so for Capri corn' l i x)
No
Dosha
if Mars is in a Kendra or Kona, or if Mars is with
Moon, Jupi ter
or Mercury
by aspect or conj uncti on'

For Scorpio

(xiv) For Aquarius

Candhi had Mars i n
Ueo, ttre 2nd from Lagna and 8th from the Moon' There are
many
charts
in our file and they show that these exceptions
have
not worked.

In the 2nd he
creates
discord
in the family, and in the l2th he denies bed
comforts
for various
reasons.
In the 4th he denies happi-
ness.
The association
of Mars with Venus is condemned
by
Jai mi ni
when
he states:

It is always
necessary
that a

having Kuja Dosha
should
be married to one having

neutralises
the Dosha.
It does not cancel the Dosha'

have ordained

But Narada

The Dosha is to be reckoned
from l-agna,
the Moon and
Venus.
The 2nd speaks about happi ness
and character.TheTth

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

the Sun in case of women. Sun afflicted by Uranus in the
charts of women shows miscarriages. Mars in the fifth, with
the lord of the fifth, or aspecting the fifth house or its lord
also indicates loss of children or miscarriages or both. Mars
and Neptune in the fifth or in the eleventh can give rise to
sti l l bi rths; and so do Uranus and Neptune i n these houses.
Any affliction to the fifth house or to its lord from Uranus
suggests miscarriages or loss of children.
A person with Aquarius ascending had Mercury and
Rahu i n the ni nth; Mars, Jupi ter and Saturn i n the el eventh.
Here only Saturn and Mercury are in the exact cusps of the
houses. Rahu i s i n exact conj uncti on wi th Budha. Budha
and Shani are barren. He di ed at 48 l eavi ng onl y a wi dow
behi nd to mourn hi m. Another has the same ascendant wi th
Shukra and Rahu in the fifth; Quru and Ketu in the eleventh.
Shani and Budha in the seventh, and Ravi and Kuja in the
sixth. All these associations of the undesirable planets
in
the fifth, seventh, and eleventh houses have their effect. IIe
i s 62 wi th no chi l d of hi s own.
When Mars as the lord of the lagna is exalted with Shani
and Kavi in the eighth having beneficial aspects, one begets
a son after a long time. Shani in the lagna, Curu in the
eighth, and Mars in the twelfth, if they have good aspects,
are capable of
giving a child after a long time has elapsed.
When the lord of the fifth is a benefic and is in the l-agna
whose lord is a benefic, one begets a son after a long time
i f Shani , Guru and Budha are i n the fi fth. Rahu, Ravi , Shukra
and Guru shoul d be i n an auspi ci ous house i f there i s to
be a child after a long time. Similar results follow when a
good planet is in the first, and malefics are in the second
and third while the lord of the fifth should be in a benefic
sign.
Next we have a series of verses indicating the various
combinations that cem give rise to adopted children. When
Mars and Saturn are in the fifth, the lord of the Lagna is in
the house of Budha aspected by Budha, there will be
adopted children. If the fifth house is owned by Budha or
Shani, and if both Shani and Mandi aspect it or are posited

When the lord of the fifth is in the ninth and the lord of the
ninth is in the tenth and when the fifth is aspected by Shani,
then too the same prediction
has to be given. When Shukra,
the l ord of the l ,agna, i s exal ted, and when Shani i s i n.the
fifth and when Quru is very strong, we can arrive at the
same concl usi on. When the Moon, as the l ord of the fi fth. i s
In l-agna while Shani is in the fifth, one can have adopted
children if Quru is very strong. When Budha, the lord of the
Lagna, is in the fifth aspected by Kuja, one has adopted
sons if Guru is in the eleventh. When Curu, the lord of the
Lagna, is in the fifth aspected by Shani, one has adopted
children if the lord of the fifth is in one of the houses of
Kqia.
A
gentleman was born with Sagittarius rising. Curu and
Shani are in the Lagna. Budha is in the third, Ravi and
Shukra i n the fourth, Kethu i n the si xth, Kuj a i n the
ni nth and the Moon i n the el eventh. Thi s person adopted a
son and a few
years
after the adoption he had his own
chi l dren. Adopti on was necessi tated by Quru and Shani ,
whi l e the bi rth of hi s own chi l dren came from the pecul i ar
position of Kuja, though Kuja is aspected by Budha. This
accounts both for the del ay and for adopti on. A si mi l ar set
of incidents overtook another person who was born when
Capricorn was rising with Moon in the seventh, Rahu in
the ninth, and the remaining six planets in the eleventh
house.
Another section of the sixteenth chapter in Parashara's
text deals with the loss of children. The losses here are
explained as being due to some curse or other heaped on

a fantastic one for those who disbeliejve in the concept of
rebirth. But a close examination of empirical data will dis-
pel these suspicions. We shall enquire into the matter after

There is
yet another
group of cases where the loss of
thildren
is traced to the curse of the wife. Now let us focus
our attention on a iew instances where some of these Yogas
are found and where the required expiation has borne fruit.

i n the fourth, Kuj a i n the tenth, and Shani i n the si xth. A
gl ance at the horoscope convi nces us that thi s fal l s under
the fi rst
group. Thi s gentl eman l ost qui te a good number of
chi l dren and the i nstal l ati on of the serpent gave hi m at l ast
a son and two daughters. These are alive. All those born
earl i er to the i nstal l ati n of the serpent are no more. Another
gentleman was born when the early degrees of Leo were
ri si ng. Kuj a was i n the second, Shukra i n the ni nth, Budha
i n the tenth, and Shani i n the twel fth. Ravi , Chandra, Kethu
and Guru are at the fag end of the tenth house. Thi s has
i nevi tabl y resul ted i n the death of three or four chi l dren
even before they were three
years
of age. Very recently he
listened to the astrological advice and performed the Sarpa
Pratishtha. As a result there was a child born later on aild
the chi l d i s al i ve, hal e and heal thy. l n thi s manner a seri es
of exampl es can be mul ti pl i ed. And di l i gent students of
astrology should study a
good numebr of the horoscopes of
persons that suffer and groan under the heavy weight of this
particular calamity.

-
i n al l these cases
the loss of children is to be traced to the curse
given
by
the wi fe.
This type of curse is a little intriguing. How can a wife,
treated as
' patni '
curse her husband ? Thi s i s possi bl e
onl y
when t her e ar e ser i ous l apses on t he par t
of t he
husband. This curse, as the general tenor of the argument
i mpl i es, goes back to the
previ ous bi rth; and i t can be
expiated only by adopting a girl and
giving
her away in
marriage to someone. There are cases of
persons who
remained childless till they actually performed the marriage
of their adopted daughters. These cases amply convince us
that there must be a causal rel ati onshi p between such
marriages and their later begetting own children.' A few
illustrations will make this
point pretty
clear.
Chart I is that of a
gentleman who is of a very good
nature. Il e i s ami abl e and good natured. Shani i s on the
Ascendant and Rahu i s found to be i n the Lagna bhava.
Mars i s si tuated i n the ni nth bei ng aspected by Budha and
Guru. These ci rcumstances l ed to the i nevi tabl e fact of
his begetting children after he has adopted a girl and got
her marri ed.

The second chart is more interesting on this
particular
poi nt.
The l ord of the fi fth i s Budha and he i s posi ted i n the

affl i cted i n the fi fth house wi th Rahu, whi l e Curu i s thus
affl i cted i n the el eventh. The l ord of the seventh i s affl i cted
l n the si xth, whi l e the second house has the l ord of the
si xth. Thi s
gentl eman performed and hel ped many to
per-
form the marriages of their daughters. And
yet he had no
chi l dren. Note the twel fth and the seventh houses. The fi fth
house i s affl i cted, though i t has a good aspect from Jupi ter.
But Jupi ter hi msel f i s affl i cted. And we have to say here that
hi s Karma of the
previ ous bi rths has been so strong that he
cannot have any chi l dren. Thi s i s the onl y rati onal expl ana-
tion that I can offer; and I am sure that in his life to come
he wi l l have pl enty of chi l dren.
Take the third chart and it offers an interesting career.
He is a gentleman--crook at times. Lord of the fifth is in the

fl i cted by Mars, who i n hi s turn i s affl i cted by Saturn. The

These instances go to prove sufficiently the contlnuity of
human life from past births to future births. The transmigra-
tion of the souls is a cardinal doctrine of the lndian faiths;
and in the face of all this evidence, it is no use bruishing it
aside. There is a
good deal in Indian astrological thought
which needs investigation and systematization; and this can
be achieved by a systematic collection of the
principles and
finding their application in the actual horoscopes of indi-
vi dual s.

L,et us take the vargas of the 5th house from the saptamsa

Vrishabha, Kanya, Mesha, Vrishabha and Kanya. Here three
fal l i n Budha' s houses.
The vargas of Shani have Budha i n Rasi , Hora and
Drekkana; Budha aspects the Tri msamsa and he owns
Saptamsa. Five are associated
with Budha, of which one
also is aspected by Guru. The child is a kshetraja.
The vargas of the fifth house from the saptamsa of the
tenth show Budha as the owner of three vargas though in
these vargas we fi nd Kuj a and Rahu. Two vargas are
aspected by Shani only. The other is unaspected.
More
research is needed to establish firmly the validity of Kalyana
Varma' s pri nci pl e.
There are chi l dren begotten by the parents,

those adopted or purchased.
There are cases of deni al of

L There is a child called kshetrqja who is born to one,s

The shadvargas of Shani have to be aspected by Budha,

More extensive investigation by competent scholars of

the light of the known cases. Of
particular
interest are
the
principles governing
Kritrima and Kshetrqja children.
The former can be of greater help in determining surrogate
mothers and test-tube babies. Instead of
generalising
as
para-jata (born
not of the real parent), Kalyana Varma has
gi ven
us the
possi bl e varl eti es of chi l dren. It i s upto
the scholars to apply these
principles
and to test their
val i di ty.
5. Jupiter and Children
Jupi ter i n the fi fth house i s sai d to deny chi l dren si nce as
the si gni fi cator of chi l dren he destroys the house of progeny
on the
principle of
-karako
bhava nasaya". Mrs. Mridula
Trivedi has been spearheading this theory today with her
almost convincing argument. We have
yet
to cross astrologers
who will argue that Jupiter as the significator of wealth will
destroy it if he is in the second, the house of finance. Let us
see two ancient and what one modern authority have to say on
thi s.
Jataka Parijata states
'alpatm4jah
suragurau sutarasi
yate'(8-73). When Jupiter is ln the fifth the native has a few
sons. By implication, he will have more daughters. Children
are not deni ed. In' How to Judge a Horoscope' Dr. B.V. Raman
observes that Curu i n the fi fth
gi ves "a
number of chi l dren"
(1.227' )
Anal ysi ng chart l Ol
(P.254)
that the fi f,th house i s
Aquari us and i t i s occupi ed by Jupi ter Putrakaraka and hence
bad". Whi l e anal ysi ng chart I O8
(?-262),
he di d not try to bri ng
out the effect of Jupiter in the fifth, but emphasised the aspect
of Mars and the Moon from the el eventh. There i s an i mpl i ci t
sel f -cont radi ct i on i n t he t wo st at ement s of Dr. Raman.
Vaidyanatha has rejected the view that the karaka destroys
the house signifying that very karakatva. We accept his view
as a sound one.

The lord of the fifth or Guru in the fifth, aspected by or

(5)
A very strong Guru in the fifth,
while the lord of lagna is also strong. These are some of the
many combi nati ons gi ven i n chapter l 6
(l 6.l O9-125).
The
last two combinations refer to Guru in the fifth house; and
Parashara blesses such a native with many children
(Bahu
Putra).
For childlessness the combinations
given
by Parashara
are many. Some of these may be cited :
-
(
I
)
Conjunction of
the lords of 2, 5 and 7 in malefic amsas and with malefics.
(2)
When Guru and the lords of l, 5 and 7 are all weak.
(5)
L,ord of the fifth in a malefic shashtyamsas.
(4)
L,ord of
I and 5 in evil houses while Curu is debilitated, and a
eunuch is in the fifth.
(5)
Guru in an evil shashtyamsa
and in the fifth while the lord of the fifth is in the house
of destructi on
(16.124.128).
Then he gi ves combi nati ons
f or t he del ayed bi rt h of chi l dren and so on. Our
main
problem is the relation of Quru to the fifth house in
connection with the
problems
of having and not having
children.
Without denying completely the aryuments advanced
by Mrs. M. Trivedi we take up some of the charts advanced
by her to see whether Guru in the fifth denies or destroys
the children. The present writer has exalted but retrograde
Curu on the 22nd degree in the fifth, opposed to the Moon
on the 2Oth degree in Capricom. tle has eight living chil-
dren and one only dead. The daughters are five and the
sons are four
(including
the dead one). Vaidyanatha cor-
rectly spoke of more daughters by implication. All these
children are well educated, well settled in life, and prosper-
ous in material and spiritual ways as well. This personal
experience compells the present writer to
question the total
validity of Mrs. M. Trivedi's connection. The attempt is not
to reject here arguments in toto, since she is one of the few
really successful research scholars in astrology today in
Indi a.

For some unknown reason Venus in the fifth appears to
give more sons than daughters. Malefic
aspects between
the Sun and Mars
give few children.
Good aspects between
.
the Sun and Saturn
give worthy sons; and malefic aspects
between these
are very bad for the first child. Malefic
asso-
ciation of the Moon and Saturn
in a male chart can make
the wife sterile. Malefic relation between
Mercury and Sat-
urn appears to favour childlessness
or to bring about wor-
ries through
them. Mars and Neptune
in the fifth may
give
still births.

Jupiter as karaka denies children
if he is in the fifth'
Then he should destroy wealth if he is in the second. Similar
argument
can be applied to the other significators
in the
concerned
houses. For Saturn
we are asked to make an
exception;
and so for Venus. What sin is committed
by the
other
pl anets and the l umi nari es
? Let us not bl ame the
virtuous,
spiritual,
religious
and benefic Jupiter for child-
lessness.
Moreover
our shastras also speak of seven kinds
of children.

880 TEXT BOOK OF SCIENTTFIC IiINDU ASTROLOOY
Omitting the system of Jaimini, we give a brief resume of the
earlier views before examining the charts. Jataka Parijata
considres the 5th house and Jupiter for predicting about one's
chi l dren
(15.1).
Much wi l l depend on the fri endl y or i ni mi cal
nature of relations between the lords of the lst and the 5th
(15.3).
For women the 9th i s the house of chi l dren
(16.5).
Sanketa Nidhi clearly states that children are to be diVined from
the Saptamamsa
(2.27);
and it is based on Parashara's statement
-
Putrapoutradhikanam vai chintanarn Saptarnarnsake.
(5.
lO4).
Merely from the
position
of the planets in the Sth or the 9th
house we shoul d not
j ump
to a concl usi on. Li kewi se we have
t o consi der t he 5t h house al so f rom Jupi t er
(S. N. 5. 36).
Saptamamsa plays an important part. A native had exalted Jupi-
ter in the 5th opposed to the Sun and the Moon. tTis Saptamamsa
chart shows Mercury in the 5th house Cancer, while its lord is
with Mars and Venus in the 9th. tle had accordingly more
daughters
(Moon,
Mercury, Venus) than sons; and because of
the association of Mars with the 5th lord, and the aspect of Mars
on Jupiter in the 4th, he lost one son also. This Jupiter in
Saptamamsa ig in opposition to Satum. The natal chart does not
make the
position as clear as the Saptamarnsa chart.
l. Denial: Let us now consider the combinations that deny
chi tdren. Our mai n emphasi s i s on the rol es of Mars and
Jupiter in relation to children. The authorities from Parashara
downwards have gi ven us val uabl e pri nci pl es, hi nts and
cl ues. We take up some of them. The aspect of Mars and
Saturn on the 5th deni es chi l dren, says Vai dyanatha
(J.P.
15.10). Other yogas gi ven by Vai dyanatha for the deni al of
chi l dren are :
(a)
the l ord of the 7th i n the 5th;
(b)
mal efi cs i n
6, 8 and 12 fromthe 5th
(13.12); (c)
l ords of the 2nd and the
5th bei ng weak, mal efi cs shoul d aspect the 5th
(15.15); (d)
l ord of the Lagna i n 6 or B, whi l e the 5th i s associ ated wi th
mal efi cs, enemi es or debi l i tated ones
(15.21).
Sanketa Ni dhi
speaks of the death of chi l dren when Mars i s i n the 5th
(4.59).
Mars wi th a mal efi c i n the Sth
gi ves ri se to aborti ons
(S.N.
4.44). When the l ord of the l 2th i s i n the sth or i n the l l th,
there is no happiness of having children; or the native adopts
a son. Jatakadesa Margagives short-lived sons for Mars in the

5th
(

t he second wi f e f or such a Mars
(15. 5).
Uttara Kalamrita is kindly to Mars and Jupiter. lf Mars and
Jupi ter are i n thei r own or i n thei r exal tati n si gns or i n the
corresponding signs, are in trines or angles, and are associ-
ated wi th benefi cs, there wi l l be sons endowed wi th l ong l i fe
(6.32-33\.
The combinations for the denlal of children referring to Mars
and Jupiter as
given by Parashara are the following;
(a)
lords of
the lst, 7th and the 5th along with Jupiter should be weak
(16.125); (b)
Jupi ter i n a mal efi c Shasthyamsa and i n a mal efi c

while its lord is with Mars. These instances clearly show
that the denial of children is mostly due to Mars and
Satum. These get
additional malefic strength from Uranus.
We cannot and should not blame Jupiter, the
greater
benefic.
ll. Children..We now take up combinations given
in our
texts for many children, sons or daughters or both. Accord,
ing to Vaidyanatha, Jupiter in Pisces gives
very few children,
i n Sagi ttari us after much di ffi cul ty, and i n Cancer or
Aquarius no children; and these signs are to be the 5th from
Lagna and Jupiter should be in them, and the results are
those
given
in the earlier
part
of this statement
(
15.5O, 2l
).
ln a woman's chart few children are indicated when the
Moon i s i n Taurus, Leo, Vi rgo or Scorpi o
(16.45).
Thi s
implies that the 9th house should fall in one of these signs
then.
Moon or Mercury in the 5th
gives
daughters; Jupiter or
Venus gi ves an i ntel l i gent and good son
(S.N.
4.41). There
are few children when Jupiter is in the 5th and many if
Venus i s l i kewi se pl aced (J.?.
8.73). In a woman' s chart,
says Vaidyanatha, malefics in the 4th give many children
(16.28).
According to Sanketa Nidhi
(5.58),
if Jupiter owns
the 5th house, the first child may not surive. This might
mean that he should be in the 5th also. Jatakadesa Marga
gives daughters only for Jupiter in the 5th identical with
Cancer
(15.5).
The text further states that mal efi cs i n the
5th from Jupi ter
gi ve
a chi l d l ate i n l i fe
(15.7).
The combinations for the late birth of a child are given
by Parashara thus:
(a)
Saturn in l,agna, Jupiter in the 8th
and Mars in the 12th associated with benefics, or one of
t hese bei ng exal t ed
(l 6. l 50); (b)
Sat urn, Jupi t er and Mer-
cury in the 5th, while the benefic Sth lord is well placed in
Lagna
( l 6. l 5l ) .
Some of the rules given
by the texts after Parashara
do not appear to agree with facts as we have them. The
charts will explain on considering some more combinations
found in the ancient authorities. Vaidyanatha observes that
the lord of the Lagna aspected by a benefic
gives children

or the Sun in the

Jupiter.

Cenerally
predictions regarding children are made from
the 5th house and i ts l ord, from Jupi ter, and from the I l th
house. Other planets are involved directly or indirectly.
There is also the need to take Saptamsa into consideration.
There are some excePtions. Jataka ?arijata

has gi ven more daughters, whi l e Venus has gi ven
more or
equal number of sons. Mars and Neptune associ ated wi th the

rise to still-births. Mars alone tends to give miscarriag-
es. Kahu indicates the curse of a serpentgod

Sun afflicted by Uranus in female charts shows miscarriages.

Jupiter, following Jaimini, we take Mercury and Ketu as indi-

degrees. The native had no children. Note the debllitated
Mercury
(Maraka
as per Jaimini) in the 7th and Ketu in the
8th. When the first child is denied, there is no question
of
other children following.
The 55rd chart is intriguing. The 5th lord Mercury is with
debilitated Jupiter in the l2th. Ketu
(indicator

Jaimini) is in the 9th afflicted by the l2th lord from the 7th.

The 9th is afflicted by Neptune, Mars and Ketu. The l2th lord
is in the l2th afflicted by Mars, and he is hemmed in between
malefics. There are no children.
Consider the 59th chart. The Sth lord is in Lagna with its
lord, a friend. The 9th is unafflicted. The 5th has Ketu. Like

Mercury's sign and Mercury is with Venus in Venus' house.
The aspect of Satum did not destroy the daughter as Venus
owns it. Venus being in his own house with the l2th lord
did not allow Uranus to
prevent
conception. Mercury too is
an indicator of children, zrs per
Jaimini.
The l2th house thus appear to play a very important role
at least as far as the eldest child is concerned.
Now let us examine a few charts where the sex of the
eldest child is known. This will enable us to generalise.
The 62nd chart shows the exchange of signs by the 4th
and 5th lord. They are aspected by Mars, the lord of Lagna.

Mercury. These factors indicate some loss and at least one
surviving child. It can be a son. But look at the l2th house.
The owner is Venus and he is in his own house aspected by
Jupiter. When Venus is in his own house having a relation
to the house of children, he definitely gives a son. tle is also
in the 9th from the Moon. lle is away from Rahu by more
than 19 degrees and from Uranus by more than 196 de-
grees. Uranus was powerless
to
prevent
conception. This
native had two sons only.
The 65rd chart is interesting. The 5th house is aspected
by Jupi ter, and i ts l ord i s i n Moon' s house wi th Rahu

6. Some combinations
l. For Kanya lagna Kuja in the fifth brings about the
death of the son in the f,irst ten degrees. This Mars calls
the fi rst son. In the next ten degrees, he ki l l s the next
one; and in the last ten degrees those born after the
second.
2. I.ord of 5 or I in 7 or in an even house associated with
Chandra or Shukra
gives many daughters. But in this
combi nati on i f the Moon or Shukra i s i n a mal e varga
and is associated with male planets, there will be many
SONS.
5. If the fifth house or its lord is a male rasi or amsa, or
i s associ ated wi th mal e
pl anets,
there are sons. If i t i s
a female rasi or amsa, or is associated with female
planets, there are daughter. We have to reckon the
fifth house from Guru also.
4. If the fifth from Lagna has the varga of Chandra
and Shukra and i s associ ated wi th ei ther of these.
and if the fifth has no malefic, there are many chil-
dren. But Shani and Kqj a aspect the house, there are
none.
5. lord of 5 in 5

7. Some considerations: Sphuta and Saptamsa
l. To find whether the married couple will have children
we have to calculate Bija Sphuta and Kshetra Sphuta.
From the husband's chart note the longitudes
(from
Mesha) of Sun, Shukra and Curu. Add these and ex-
punge mul ti pl es of 560. The resul ti ng si gn and degree
gives Bijasphuta.
From the wife's chart add the longitudes of the Moon,
Kqja and Curu. The result gives
the sign and degree of
I{shetra sphuta.
These two sensitive points should not be associated
with the eighth lord, or with Budha or Shani or Ketu. There
should be no malefics in the kendras or konas of these
poi nts. Otherwi se there wi l l be no chi l dren. There wi l l be
children if these
points are associated with the lords of l, 5,
7, or 9.
2. Add t he l ongi t udes of t he Sun, Chandra, Kuj a,
Guru and Shukra. If the product fal l s i n a Kendra,
a child is born in the first
part
of life; if it falls in 2,
'
5, 8, or l l , i t i s i n the second paft
of l i fe; and i f i t
fal l s i n 3, 6, I, or 12, i t wi l l be i n the l ast
part
of
l i fe.
5. Birth, death, or absence of children has to be ascer-
tained from the saptamsa. We are giving two examples
here. The fifth lord is with Shukra in the ninth aspected
by Neptune. This gave many daughters. The Karaka is
with Budha aspected by Shani, and the fifth lord is
hemmed in between malefics. tle is in Kuja's house.
Kuja is in the l2th from the 5th lord.

5. Add the longitudes of the fifth lord, Curu, planet occu-
pying the fifth, and the planet aspecting the fifth. The
product gives the Rasi and its Navamsha. When Curu
or Shani transits these signs, the birth of a child is
likely.
There are many more combinations
given in works like
Parashara [Iora, Brih4jjataka, Saravali, Jataka ?ariiata,
Phala Dipika, Manasagari, Sanketa Nidhi, and Jatakadesa
Marya. One may profitably consult these.
In the case of a woman's chart consider the ninth in
place of the fifth.

Kalpalata on Jaimini
Sutras
ilakantha's commentary on the first two chapters of
Jaimini Sutras is in great use. This commentary does
not help us much in calculating the Dasas precisely and in
predicting the results of the Dasas.
Venkateshwara also commented on the first two chap-
ters. Krishna Misra's Jyotlsha Phala Ratnamala, Raghava
Bhatta's
(1704
A.D.) Jataka Sara Sangraha, Narasimha
Suri's Jdmini Sutrartha frakasika
(on
first two chapters),
Somanatha's
(son
of Krishnamisra) Kalpalata, Nrisimha
Daivqina's Jdmlnl Sutra Vyakhya
(on
all the four chap-
ters) are available in manuscript.
Jataka Sara Sangraha was published a century ago in
Madras with a Telugu translation. Raghava Bhatta and
Narasimha Suri were Andhras. Somanatha's Kalpalata is an
exhausti ve
and authori ati ve treati se.
Somanatha's
text covers all the four chapters. tle gives
an account of the contents of all the chapters. Thus the first
quater of the first chapter deals with Sanjna
(technical
concepts); the second quarter deals with the results of the
si gns occupi ed by the Swakaraka; the thi rd expl ai ns
Arudha, and the fourth, Upapada. The second chapter, he
says, explains forty kinds of Dasas. The third chapter is

concerned with Rajayogas related to Drekkana, longevity,
calculation of sixteen Dasas and female horoscopy. The
fourth chapter
gives the indications of death, wanderings or
travels abroad, the world after death and fourteen kinds of
Dasas.
The first quarter
of the first chapter deals with aspects,
Argala, Karaka and technical terms. III-1 gives Rajayogas
related to Drekkanas; lll-2 is concerned with longevity; III-5

Many of the available
printed
texts deal with the
prob-
lems as outlined by Somanatha who offered an analysis of
the text in his introductory remarks.

Kalpalata mentions seventy Dasas. The method of cal-
culating these is said to be given in the Mula Sutra by
Kalidasa. This book is not available.
Jaimini Sutras give Dasas dealing with longevlty and
Dasas explaining results of the Dasas. Those dealing with
longevity are given by Raghavabhatta as follows :

Atmanobhava Pausa Dasa,
(l O)
Jayabhavapa Dasa,
(l

examined.
In our Dnglish rendering
we have noted that
some Sutras are out of
place in the context in which they
appear.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Madhura Krishnamurthi
Sastrigaru,
we were
privileged to
go through some
parts of
Kalapa{ata.
In actual experience
we have found the
prin-
ciples laid down in this text are correct.
But there are some doubts which the leamed alone can
answer. Somanatha's
views on Drekkana and Navamsa are
not clear. He refers to Karaka, Atmakaraka
and Swakaraka'
llow are the first two distinguished?
It is of
great importance
in iollowing KalPatata.
Somanatha's
Kalpalata
is a valuable unpublished
Vritti
on Jaimini
sutras. The text offers some valuable informa-
tion about the Sutras.
The first two Stabakas
provide a
preface to the cpmmentary.
It is proposed to
give a free
translation
of these now.
'The
venerable
teacher Jaimini
composed
the Sutras in
four chapters
to determine
the events
and their timings, the
l ongevi t yof t hei ndi vi dual andt hedest i nyof t hesou| . The
foui chapters
deal respecti vel y
wi th Karaka, Lagna'
Drekkana
and Navamsa.
What is the
PurPose
of all this ?
when
we know the nature of the events
and their timings,
one begins to investigate
the nature of the world to which
the soul
goes after death. This can
give rise to fear' To
over"omJthis
fear, one
performs the duties
(Karma) which
gi ver i s et ot hepur i f i c at i onof t hemi nd. Thi s l eadst o
Erahma-Jnana.
Hence thi s sci ence of Astrol ogy

In this first chapter,
the author
determines
Sanjna
(technical terms or concepts),
Karaka,
Pada
(Arudha) and
Ka.jayoga.
The second
chapter
deals with lagna'Karaka'
tonglvity
and special
Dasas
(periods of the signs)' The third
chapter
is about the Drekkana.

Drekkanas. Even the Navmsas are not to be fixed as in the
earlier texts. The Navamsas are reckoned as follows: For
Mesha
(Aries)
the first Navamsa is Mesha
(Aries);
for Vrishabha
(Taurus)
the first is Kanya
(Virgo);
for Mithuna
(Cemini)
it is
from Tula
(Libra);
and
for Kataka
(Cancer),
it is from Meena
(Pi sces).
Next Hora Lagna and others have to be determined.
There are five varieties of tlora. Brihat Jataka and others
have established some varieties. The first tlora of a Bhava
is that of the I I th house from it. The second variety of Hora
is that followed regarding the lost or unknown horoscopes.
In this Sastra the flrst Hora of Mesha
(Aries)
Lagna is
Mesha
(Aries);
and the second is Vrishabha
(Taurus).
TJre
first Hora of Vrishabha
(Taurus)
falls in Mithuna
(Gemini)
and so on. This classificatin is of
great help in dealing with
Rajayogas and longevitY.
The fourth view is that the flrst Hora ls that of the sign
occupied
by the lord of the 8th. The moderns who hold this
view argue that this is valid only for calculating longevity.
Others argue that the 8th sign from that occupied by the
lord of the lagna is the llora Lagna. But this is of value only
whi l e determi ni ng the worl d to whi ch the soul of the dead
will
go. Keeping in mind the
purpose, fix the llora Lagna.
Next determine Chatika Lagna. Some hold that this is
reckoned In the clockwise directlon from Lagna. But deter'
mine which is the stronger one between Lagna and the 7th. In
case of males, the count is clockwise; md in the case of
women lt is anticlockwise.
Next determi ne Karaka. There are fi ve vari eti es of
Karakas. These are Karaka, At makaraka, Swakaraka,
Dasakaraka
and Bhavakaraka.
Karaka is the
planet that has advanced to the highest
degree
when compared to the others. The Atmakaraka is
well-established
and this ls to be understood from the other
Sastra.
Swakaraka is the lord of the Lagna. Their relative
strengths have to be calculated as
per the
principles laid
down later. The Dasakaraka is the one whose Dasa is operat-
ing, The Bhavakarakas
are classified as nitya
(always
true)

and anitya
(temporary).
The anitya Bhavakarakas are ex-
plained in the Sastra. The nitya Bhavalerakas are those
given in the other works. These can be known from
Ilrtshniya.
The Jainas place greater emphasis only on Atmakaraka
and Svakaraka; and they use the other Karakas as and when
they are necessary or useful.
Of all the five Karakas, Svakaraka alone gives many
results. But we have to consider also the other l{arakas and
then
predict the strength of the results. All this has to be
learnt from the teacher directly. Rejecting the teacher
amounts to a rejection of tradition which rejection does not
enable one to predict accurately. This brings the science of
Astrologt into disrepute.
Now we give a clear account of the various chapters and
their
quarters.
The first
quarter of the first chapter determines the
specific nomenclature
(technical
terms) used in this text
and in this school of astrologr.
The second
quarter
explains the results of the signs
occupied by the Swakaraka.
The third
quarter deals with the results of the sign which
is the Arudha of Lagna and other houses.
The fourth
quarter explains the results of the Upapada
of the sign indicating the
partner
(wife
or husband).
The second chapter
gives an account of the forty kinds
of Dasas.
tn the third chapter the author deals with Drekkana,
Rajayoga, longevity, the calculation of sixteen kinds of
Dasas and female horoscoPY.
The fourth chapter deals with indications of death, wan-
deringp abroad and the calculation of fourteen Dasas which
determine the future of the soul of the dead.
One has to examine a chart with reference to all the four
chapters and consider the suitable Dasas out of the seventy
before
predicting the results.

When two or three of the methods agree, the malefics
predomi nate. In the case of benefi cs, consi der whether
there is a powerful Rajayoga. Then the result should be
based on the strength of the concerned benefic. In the case
of others consider their strengths and predict
the result,
when two or three, or four, or five agree. The malefic results
too are to be based on the agreement of at least two of the
methods or approaches.
In the case of a Dasa of the R4jayoga, even if one
method alone indicates the malefic result,
predict
death at
the end of that Dasa. In the middle of a Rajayoga Dasa, even
if two or three factors agree in the case of the mqjor periods
of mal efi cs, one shoul d not predi ct death ti l l the end of
[he
Rqjayoga Dasa. Thus predictions are to be given after mas-
tering the science of astrology and after examining many
horoscopes.
Next we exami ne the Dasas and thei r resul ts.
'
Of the forty Dasas explained in the second chapter, only
eleven have to be applied to those who have Rajayogas.
Five Dasas refer to the rulers. The other Dasas can be
applied
generally to all. Even then the Dasas which give
results of the Rqjayogas are only four. These are Yogardha,
the Drekkana occupi ed by the l ord of the l l th, Bhava
Rahasya and Mandukapluti
(frog
leap). Here for those hav-
ing Rajayoga even one Dasa will give results. If two Dasas
agree, the results are definite.
The ordinary Dasas are Nakshatra-bheda, Nakshatraja
(derived
from the nakshatra), Nisarga
(natural,
inherent),
Chara. Chara ?aryaya, Sthira ?aryaya and Cochara Dasa.
Results on the basis of these have to be given to the rulers
and who have no R4iayoga. They have to be considered as
and when necessary or appropriate.
Regarding the
problem of longevity the Dasas that can
be applied to all are Brahma, Yarnada, Chara and Chara
?aryaya. The other Dasas are to be employed as and when
they appear to be appropriate.
In all horoscopes determine the position of Brahma and
calculate Brahma Dasa. Then
predict the results.

The calculation of the Varnadas for the twelve signs
depends on the relation of the llora Lagna and the birth
l,agna. Then calculate the Varnada Dasas. In this way calcu-
late the Brahma, Varnada, Chara and Chara ?aryaya Dasas.
Note how many of these Dasas agree in giving a certain
result. Then on the basis of the accord between these
predict the time of death. This is to be given
only after
noting the increase or decrease of the Kakshyas.
,
When you determine the longevity by means of the
Ghatika l-agna, follow the method
given in the chapter on
Drekkana
(chapter
5). Death is at the end of the concerned
Dasas.
Now about aspects: When a waning Moon aspects, even
a benefic result becomes malefic. trven if it is slightly
malefic, it indicates death. Cood or bad results of even the
strong
planets materialise only when they are supported by
the Moon. The Jainas argue that Rahu too is similar to the
Moon. According to them, in a malefic relation
(association
or aspect), only Mars and Rahu matter. In the case of a
benefic
association, consider the strength or weakness of
the associated
planets.
In the case of Rajayoga, we have to note the
part played
'by
Mars. Even the aspect of an exalted Mars sometimes
does
give good results. But Saturn, Mars and Rahu are
always indicators of death.
In the case of Rajayoga, the relative importance of the
planets will be explained now. lf the Yogakaraka is the Sun,
the native becomes a king. If the Sun is aspected by the full
Moon, the native becomes a ruler of an island country'
When the Yogakaraka is the Moon, he rules over the seas,
or has full control over marine affairs' If it is Mars, he
becomes the commander of the army. If it is Mercury, he
works and earns under the protective power of others. If it
is Jupiter, the native is a scholar and becomes a minister. If
it is Venus, he leads a sensuous life of
pleasure, a life of
passionate lust; he may become a minister. If it is Saturn,
he earns by doi ng meni al or undesi rabl e work; or he rul es
over a tribal area or country or he lives near the outskirts of
the forests. If it is Rahu, he carries out successfully the

orders of the rulers or he is Palsunyaieevi.lf it is Ketu, the
native worships Shiva with great devotion; or he becomes
the leader of a town dedicated to Shiva.
Thus having understood the nature of the planets and
havi ng exami ned the nature of thei r aspects, one shoul d
predict the results. tf there are many planets involved,
pre-
dict the results on the basis of their natural or inherent
nature and strength. Sometimes the results will.appear even
when
predi cti ons are made wi thout determi ni ng thei r
strength.
Some observe that wlth reference to the Yogakaraka,
the most i nfl uenti al one i s the
pl anet aspecti ng hi m. But i n
our vi ew thi s hol ds
good onl y when the aspecti ng
pl anet
also is a Yogakaraka. In the charts of the kings, the Yoga
arises even in the absence of the aspecting
planet, if there
are many benefics associated with the Yogakaraka. lf this
Yogakaraka
is aspected even by one, the native becomes
an emperor.
lf two or three benefics, the Yoga is a little less.
When
many
planets aspect, it ls still less.
I f t he Yogakaraka
i s associ at ed wi t h Rahu i n a
Brhamana's
chart, he suffers
poverty. lf the chart with this
association
is that of a Mlechchha, l-re becomes a
powerful
rul er. l f t he Yogakaraka i s aspect ed by Sat urn, t he
Mtechchha
rules over uncivilised
areas or countries. The
Brahmana
having this
gives Tambula.
Aspected by Mars, the
native becomes a king and a commander of the army. This
aspect in a Brahmana's chart makes him worship the sa-
cred fires. The aspects of Jupiter make him a righteous ruler
or a scholar. The aspect of Venus
gives him
good houses.
The aspect of the Moon and Rahu destroys the Yoga' The
aspects of Saturn and Rahu bring death by snake-bite' The
amount of
good or bad results is to be determiend by the
exaltation
and debilitation of the
planet. lf there is no
Yogakaraka
in a chart, the native has always malefic results.
Some agree that the association of a Yogakaraka with
Arudha Lagna
-
or a Yogakaraka
determined from Arudha
Lagna
-
causes Yoga. This is not true since Arudha is subor-
dinate to the Rasi chart. The results
get modified or deter-
mined
\y
tradition and by the individual's nature.

CruLDREII 915
While considering the benefic and malefic nature, we
have to
judge
the strength. The method is now
given.
Among
the benefics, full Moon, Venus and Jupiter are strong. Among
the malefics the strong ones are Mars, Saturn and Rahu. The
Sun and Ketu are neutral
-
neither strong nor weak. Mercury
becomes strong or weak because of his association with
others. Jupiter in the houses of the Moon and Venus is the
strongest of all.
Depending on the signs, let us determine the strength.
When t her e i s a benef i c associ at i on i n t he Tr i kona
(Drekkana),
the sign is effective in giving results like the
pl anet i n i t. If the Kendra has benefi c associ ati on, the si gn
is less effective compared with the planet in Lagna. Even
the malefics acquire a benefic nature when they are
.ex-
al ted. Everythi ng about debi l i tati on and exal tati on may be
learnt from Brihat Jataka and other authorities. But there
ls a special feature.
l f Mars i s wi th the Sun, the Sun i s l i ke one In exal tati on.
l f the Sun i s wi th Venus, the Sun i s l i ke one i n debi l i tati on.
l f Venus i s wi th the Moon, the Moon i s as i n exal tati on. If
Mars is with Saturn, Mars is as one in exaltation. lf Mars is
wi th the Moon, Mars i s l i ke one i n debi l i tati on. l f Jupi ter i s wi th
Mercury, then Mercury is like one in debilitation.
Some observe that if Mercury is with Rahu, Mercury gets
exaltation. This is not correct. But we hold that such a
Mercury i s nei ther exal ted nor debi l i tated.
From the other texts one has to learn how Mercury be-
comes a benefi c. If Mercury i s al one, he i s a hi gh benefi c. In
the same way consi der Jupi ter, Venus and others.
In thi s Jai mi ni system exal tati on, debi l i tati on and the l i ke
are helpful while considering Rqjayogas and longevity.
Knowi ng about exal tati on, debi l i tati on and the l i ke, we
have to

When the l,.agna is that of a
quadruped, note that the
Moon is in the Drekkana and Navamsa also of
quadruped

that of a
quadruped. Some apply this to the biped sign to
predict the birth of a quadruped. If a human being has

he becomes a master
(or
owner) of cattle
when the proper
Dasa operates. lf the Dasa sign is aspected
by Saturn, he is the leader or owner of elephants. Some
argue that when Ketu is aspectlng, the native acquires buf-
faloes. lf Rahu aspects, there is the destruction of catfle. If
the aspect is that of the waning Moon and Mars, the catfle
Will be stolen by enemies. lf the aspect is from the full Moon
and malefic Mercury, the cattle get destroyed by floods and
rains. ln this way examining carefully Krishniya and other
texts,
predict the results. Even the results fructify when the
Moon is in a quadruped sign. Follow the same method in
horary astrologl about animals.
When the quadruped sign is l-agna aspected by Saturn
and Mercury and the I lth has the waning Moon, there is the
birth of a bird or animal.
(Aries,
Taurus, Cancer, t eo, Scor-
pio, first half of Sagittarius, Capricorn and Pisces are Viyoni
si gns).
Ilere the word l-agna means Dreklena. llence all that
has been said earlier, has to be considered also from the
Drekkana of the Lagna. Some want us to consider from the
Lagna in Navamsa. This is incorrect because this Sastra
gives primacy to Drekkana as compared with Navamsa
Lagna. Some consider the tlora; others Ghatika l"agna, to
predict about the Viyoni Janma.
Some
predict
the results of the Bhavas for determining
the Bhava lagna. But in this Sastra, make the sign occupied
by the l{araka as Lagna. With reference to this Lagna ascer'
tain the Bhavas and planets and predict the results. All this
has to be learnt from the teacher orally and confidentially.
(There
are some Sutras which are called Adhikara
Sutras. These
govem all the subsequent Sutras till an ex-
ception is made by the author). The author now mentions
the Adhi kara Sutras. The three Sutras begi nni ng wi th

While considerlng the Bhavas, we have to follow the
earl i er Sastra. But here i s some pecul l arl ty. The 5th house i s
designated as Pita
(father)
and the 9th as
Putra
(child).
In
female horoscopy, the 7th is mangalya house and the 8th that
of t he husband.
Now we give the characteristics of Bhavas. The Bhavas are
of four kinds. These are reckoned from Lagna, Karaka,
Drekkana and Amshaka. From the Lagna the Bhavas are the
si gns
(Rasi s).
From the Karaka the Bhavas are pl anets.
Regarding Drekkana note the special f,eature. The Drekkana
of the l ord of Lagna i s the Lagna here. Si mi l arl y, the second
house is the Drekkana occupied by the second lord and so
on. Amsaka is the Arudha sign. From this Arudha sign,
consider the
planets. tlaving considered the Bhavas in this
way, we have to consider in the same way the Dasas and
then
predict the results.
There are some special Yogas in the third
quarter of the
fi rst chapter
(Pada
adhi karana). In the case of mal es, the
Arudha i s determi ned i n the cl ockwi se manner and i n that
of women, i t i s i n the anti -cl ockwi se manner. Determi ne the
Arudha Lagna i n thi s way. If there are the Moon and Venus
In the 2nd from Arudha Lagna. the nati ve becomes very
rl ch. l f the 4th from thi s Lagna i s a movabl e si gn
(cardi nal
chara), i t i s of no use regardi ng conveyance. If the 4th i s a
dual si gn, i t has the ful l est strength. The exal tati on of a
pl anet i n Arudha Lagna, exal tati on of benefi cs, aspects of
benefi cs are to be consi dered i n thi s way; and i f they are
strong, the resul ts wi l l materi al i se. Thi s i s of i mportance even
if there is no Yoga in or from Lagna.
If the Arudha Lagna has no associatlon with an exalted
planet and if it is aspected by a malefic, it causes
poverty.
The aspect of a benefic or of an exalted
planet causes
Rajayoga. The same has to be applid even to the Lagna. Both
for Lagna and Arudha Lagna, there is no Rajayoga if there is no
agreement wi th the 4th and 5th houses.
All these are not stated by the earlier teachers
probably
because the text wi l l become huge. The teachers have
orally communicated the secrets. We have examined the
secretl y
preserved texts and gi ven some of the
poi nts. Here
ends the fi rst Stabaka of Jyoti sha Kal pal ata by Somanatha.

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

determine the Yogakaraka, considering the Sun. Then note
the exceptions mentioned now.
One exception is having Rahu and Saturn in Trikona.
The second is that of Mars and Ketu. Some observe that any
association with Mars or even with Rahu is an exception.
The benefic or malefic results arising from the association
of Satum depend on his exaltation and placement
in
a
friend's sign.
When there are many exceptions, how ls one to deter-
mine the Yogakaraka ? When Saturn and Rahu are in one
Trikona, and Jupiter is with the Moon in another Trikona,
there is Yoga-samya. When one Trikona has Mars and Ketu,
and the other has Jupiter and Moon, the benefic nature
is
greater. When the Trikona has more benefics, the Yoga
is
destroyed. When the Trikona has more benefics, the result
is highly beneficial. According to some many benefics
In
Kendras contribute to Yoga. But if they are subject
to
Aryala, the Yoga gets destroyed. The Argala is more power-
ful.
The fixed sign is stronger than the movable
(cardinal)
sign and the dual
(common)
sign is stronger than the fixed.
In Argala, note which signs are Involved and its affirmation
or cancellation.
After thus determlning the Yogakaraka, then predict
in
the charts of a male or a female, the Yoga arising from his
associatlon. In the case of the ruler
(kings)
follow the prin-
clples
given
in the Drekkana Sutra.
If there is a Rqjayoga in a woman's chart, then deter-
mine the R4jayoga in her husband's chart and
predict
that
her husband is her Svadhina Vallabha. If such is not
the
case, she will be a royal princess
or the ruler. All this has
to
be
predicted
after a careful consideration of all the relevant
factors.
While determinlng the Drekkana, in the case of the chart
of a woman, the
procedure is anti-clockwise. The determi-
nation of the Drekkana Lagna has been explained earlier.
The appearance of the native is determined by
the
Svakaraka. From the Amsa of this Svakaraka or from the

lord of the I lth, determine the caste (iaati). After determining
the benefic and malefic nature, calculate the Dasas
(mqjor
periods).
One should know how to calculate the Dasa from the
original Sutra. This has been
given by Kalidasa. But the
nature of the results has not been explained by him. The
Sutras have brielfly indicated this. We
proPose to explain
the nature of the results in greater detail.
The fi rst Dasa must show the associ ati on of many
benefi cs wi th the si gn concerned. Thi s i s one factor
cause. The second is the association of many benefics
with the Drekkana. In the same way treat the Kendras.
The Dasas of the Kendras are to be considered from the
poi nt of vi ew of Argal a. The associ ati on of mal efi cs i n the
Trikonas is always indicative of suffering and sorrow. If
the factors are of equal strength the results are balanced.
If the association of benefics is greater, the results will
be more benefi ci al .
In case of those born with Rqjayoga, if the Kendras or
Konas are devoid of the association of benefics or of
malefics then the results of the Yoga are experienced in that
Dasa. If there is the association of the exalted
planet and or
benefics, then that Dasa
gives R4jayoga. When the Dasa is
associated with benefics, even if in the 5rd, 6th or 8th
houses, the favourable results are realised in some cases.
In such cases consider the signs, the Arudha and other rele-
vant factors.
Note which Dasa is operating and what is its distance from
Lagna. Convert the same number from the Dasa-sign. This is
the Arudha of the Rasi whose period is operating.
Some argue that it is not the distance from Lagna to the
sign, but the distance from that sign to the owner of that sign
that has to be considered in this Arudha. This Arudha also is
at times helpful.
There is also the Arudha of Drishti
(aspect).
Note the sign
from which a planet first aspects. From that sign count the
number to
get the Drishti Arudha. What is the first aspect? The
first aspect on Aries is from Scorpio and on Scorpio it is from

Aquarius and Capricom respectlvely; for Gemini and Pisces,
it is from Virgo and Sagittarius respectively. The planets
aspecting from the first sign, have mutual aspects with the
aspected sign and the planets therein.
After this, note in the Dasa the planets aspecting the
2nd and other houses, the l{arakas of those houses and
ascertain the signs aspected by the Karakas of these
houses. Then predict the results accordlngly.
When more
planets aspecting the sign are involved,
consider the planet aspectlng from the Abhlmukha Rasi and
predlct the result accordingly. lf two or three planets are
lnvolved ascertain the stronger one. The strength is the
natural or lnherent one.
The
planet aspected by l-agna is the flrst Karaka. The
next sign is the second and so on. When many Karakas
aspect the same, we have to determine the stronger one by
the advanced degree position of the planet
or by the mutual
strength of the
planet. lf the planet aspecting the lagna is a
benefic, the native has an attractive appearance; and if he
ls a maleflc,
predict the opposite.
We have to consider the twelve houses with the help of
only nine planets. How is this
posslble? From the Karaka,
the lord of the 2nd is the lord of the l2th, the lord of the 5rd
is also the lord of the 6th, and the lord of the 4th is also that
of the lOth. In this way consider the Bhavas.
If the lord of the 4th is debilitated, then there is the
destruction of that Bhava. A benefic association will make
the native happy. .:n association with an exalted
planet
heightens the im;re.tance of that house. The Rajayogas and
the twelve Bhavas have to be examined in this way.
Some argue that even the temporary
planets are the
Karakas. This is not correct because in this Sastra, the
temporary
planets are considered only in two or three
Dasas.
This Dasa is also called Drik-karaka-Dasa. Others de-
scribe it as Drigdasa. In our view, everything about this
Dasa being treated as a secret, it is known as Rahasya-Dasa.

a different country; and through the anger of the king
(ruler)
he loses everything and is imprisoned. When they are in the
8th he is killed with weapons by thieves or by the command
of the ruler. When they are in the Zth, he loses the wife. If
they are in the l2th death is due to strangling. A benefic
aspect gives
some relief. Thus in whatever Bhava they are
posited,
that Bhava gets destroyed. If they are ln Lagna, the
native is always sick. If they are exalted and/or in Kendras,
or if they are aspected by an exalted
planet
or placed
in a
trine and exalted, or
placed
in the Trikonas of an exalted
planet,
then that Bhava becomes stronger and powerful.
Even if they are in the l2th, and even if they are
aspected by an exalted planet,
the results mentioned earlier
will materialise at the end of the Dasa. The ability of a
planet to give powerful
and favourable results is not pos-
si bl e i f i t has no dependence on the Moon. The same
applies to the conjunction of Saturn and Rahu.
Note with which planet,
another planet
is associated.
That planet becomes powerful
like the strong ones. Some
extend this even to malefics and aryue that the association
of a planet with the malefics is helpful and useful. Even
lf two benefics are associated with such a planet,
some-
times the
planet does not acquire strength. Whatever may
be the case, the
planet
is not fruitful in the absence of
any association with the Moon. Some hold that even if it has
an association with the Karaka, there will be favourable
results.
There are some Rqjayogas not mentioned in the Sutras.
For the sake of edification we will present some of these.
Determine the strength or weakness of Rahu and Ketu.
Note whether in the Kendras or in the Trikonas, there is the
association of benefics and association with exalted ptanet.
In such a case the native becomes very wealthy
(Srimanta).
Whtsn there is the association of malefics and debilitated
ones, the native suffers from poverty.
When the benefics
and malefics are together, predict
the results after examin-
ing their relative strengths.

Even in the Dasa, consider the Nakshatra
Dasa. Then
note the association
of its Trikonas and ascertain
their
strength. The stronger
one gives
results.
Consider Rahu and Ketu as Karakas. From that point
onwards, following the sequence
of the planets,
we get
the
Ifarakas for the Dasas. Determine the strength of the plan-
ets. Thus in the Dasas of the l{araka grahas,
note the
Arudha of the nasi also.
There is some speciality regarding
those bom in Scorpio
and Aquarius. In determlning
the Karaka, note that Rahu
owns Aquarius and Ketu owns Scorplo. Then note the stron-
ger planet
in the Tfikonas of these lagnas. Determine
the
l{arakas from that sign. If Rahu alone is strong, begin from
Rahu and determlne the t{arakas following the anti-clock-
wise direction. The same is to be followed with reference
to
Ketu.
When the lord of Lagna is assoclated wlth many Karaka
grahas, consider all of them. The planet
having the lowest
number of degrees becomes the first Karaka. lf in the
Trikona of this planet
there is a strong Rahu, then fix the
I{arakas from the sign occupied by Rahu onwards. But lf
there is a stronger one in the Kendras of this planet,
then
the l{arakas are to be taken from that sign onwards.
lf in the l2th from this l{araka there is Rahu or Ketu,
then this Rahu or Ketu is said by some to be the f{arals.
This has to be examined on the basis of one's experience.
But for those bom in Aquarius and Scorpio l-agnas,
determine the l{arakas if Rahu or Ketu are not involved. lf
they are involved, proceed in the anti-clockwise direction
from them. If the l{araka is in an even
slgn,
the procedure
for determining the other Karakas is anti-clockwise.
In the Dasa of the l{araka, there is the importance of the
atmakaraka. This Atmakaraka is of help at times. In this
Sastra, the Karaka mentioned earlier is of importance. From
the sign occupied by that Karaka leam about the native's
appearance, age, caste and other details.
In the case of Yoga, even the Drekkana is of great
relevance. The Navamsa is of importance while determining

Generally the karaka is of great
impor-
tance in this Sastra. The Bhavas and other details are to be
determined by the
principles given in the Rahasya Sastra.
This is the determinatin of l{araka.
ln the case of a question put
to the astrologer follow
Krishniya to determine the time and Lagna. lf the ruler of
the Lagna at that time is in an odd sign, then in a clockwise
manner
place
the lords of the dll<s in these d/rks. Consider
him to be the l{araka. lf this Karaka is exalted, the event is
fulfilled to the questloner's satisfaction very quickly.
There

take the help of ltrlshnlya.

Jaimini System
f
aimini's system of astrology is unique. Though some
(f
chapters of Parashara's text deal with this system, the
authentic text is JAIMINI SUTRAS. It is in four chapters; and
of these commentaries are available in complete.
l. Parashara assigns to each
planet some significations
(Karakatwas) and these are unalterable. Jaimini differs from
this. The significators vary from chart to chart. First draw
the chart with the degrees, minutes and seconds for the
ascendant, the luminaries and the five
planets. Arrange
them in the descending order. That which has traversed the
highest degree
position in the natal chart is said to be the
Atmakaraka. The sign he occupies in the Navamsa chart is
tlre Karakamsa lag4a.

Let us illustrate with a chart. tlere Budha has advanced
far beyond any other. He is on 28" 38' in Sagittarius and he
occupi es the same si gn i n Navamsa. Hence Budha i s the
Atma Karaka and Dhanus is the Karakamsa Lagna. The
next i n the descendi ng scal e i s Venus who becomes the
Amatya karaka. Next comes Jupi ter who becomes
Bhrathrukaraka.
Next in order is the Moon who is Matra'
karaka. Then follow Saturn, the Sun and Mars, who are
respectively
Putra, Jnati
(Colaterals) and Kalathra
(Wife
or
husband) karakas.
From Atmakaraka we can read about the
general
heal th, consti tuti on, nature, outl ook and fortune of the na-
tlve. Amatya refers to the intellect and mind. Bhrathnt
refers to the brothers and sisters. The fourth indicates the
mother, the fifth about the children, the sixth about the
relatives and the last about the
partner.
In the case of Rahu the longitude has to be deducted
from thirty degrees. When two
planets have the same de-
gree, minutes and seconds, then Rahu is to be considered.
The other
permanent significators are those
given in the
other texts. Whatever has not been touched by Jai mi ni , we
have to borrow from other authorities. This is stated in the
last aphorism of the second chapter
-Siddham
anyat-.
When two or more
pl anets have the same l ongi tude,
t hey
j oi nt l y
become t he Karaka. Then t he sevent h
Karakatwa belongs to Rahu. A variant reading states that
the Karaka for mother is followed by the Karaka for father
who is followed by Putra, Jnati and Kalathra karakas. Some
authorities,
however state that lkraka for mother and chil-
dren i s one and t he same
pl anet
(l . l . l 9).
Thus seven or
ei ght
pl anets can become Karaka
(l .l .l O).
When two
pl an-
ets have the same longitude deduct Rahu's longitude form
thirty degrees and find out where he fits in the decreasing
scale and then assign the Karakatwa to him. If there are
more such
planets and if even after Rahu some Karakatwas
are left, then assign the other Karakatwas as
per the system
of Parashara.
Jai mi ni assi gns some si gni fi cati ons of a mi nor nature to
the various
planpts. Mars refers to sisters,
younger brothers,

are left, then assign the other Karakatwas
as per
the system
of Parashara.
Jaimini assigns some significations
of a mlnor nature to
the various planets.
Mars refers to sisters, younger
brothers,
step-mother and brothers-in-law,
Mercury is assigned maternal
uncles and maternal aunts; Jupiter signifies matemal grand-
father and grand-mother,
and Venus rules over the
parents
of
the
partner
and over the maternal grand parents
and disciples.
, Next we have to note that signs aspect signs and therefore
the
planets
in those signs aspect those in the corres-ponding
signs. Cardinal signs aspect all the fixed signs except the one
next to them. Fixed signs aspect all cardinal signs excepting
the one behind them. The dual signs aspect each other. That
ls, they have square aspects. This is an important principle
as
the results given
depend on the aspects and conjunctions.
Now we take up a unique method of ARGALA.
planets
in
.2.4.11houses,
from any pl anet
or house cause Argal a. These
three are the prime
combinations
for argala consideration.
Secondly, 5th house is also able to form argala. This is to
note, argala should be checked for each house, as well as for
each
planet.
Argala caused by natural benefics is always
considered
'benefic
argala'and when it is formed by malefics,
is called
'Malefic
argala.'Argala
always protects
all effects and
principles
of the house concerned.
Argala, formed in such a manner, becomes
counter pro-
ductive, when there are planets
in l2.lO.J and 9 respectively.
;
A special rule for 5 houses has been laid down by sages.
Many planets posited
in the third house, at least J, will also

They will remain under
argala effect in a reverse manner. llence 2,4.11.5 houses are
counter effective and 12.lO.S.g are argala-forming
houses.

Ketu alone counteracts. Thus, zugala exists for Jupiter, as well
as for the V house. One planet

only.
2. Different Lagnas
The Sutras of Jaimini refer to many lagnas and the
principles
of Interpretation to these lagnas also. We have
al ready noted Janma l agna, Chandra l agna, Navamsa
lagna and Karakamsa lagna. In our example, these are
Mina, Makara, Kumbha, and Dhanush respectively.
Now
we take up other lagnas.
l . Arudha Lagna: Thi s i s al so cal l ed
pada
l agna
(l .l .5O).
Take any si gn. Fi nd out the si gn i n whi ch si gn the
lord of that house is situated. Count as many signs from
that lord, and that is the arudha of that sign. If the lord of
Mina lagna is in the fifth house, the fifth from it is the
arudha lagna. lt will be Vrishchika in our example. Thus for
houses 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, l O, 1l and 12, we get
Kosa, Bhratri ,
Sukha
(Vahana),
Mantra, Dara, Bhagya, R41ya, Labha and
Upapada lagnas. There are some exceptions. If the lord of a
sign is in the fourth from it, the fourth house alone is its
arudha
(l . l . 5l ).
When t he l ord of a house i s i n t he sevent h
from it; its tenth house from that sign is its arudha. Thus in our
example the lord of the second Kuja is in the seventh
from it; lts arudha is the tenth from the second. Thus we

have
in our example charts the arudhas of houses 2, S, 4, and
5 are
respectively Makara, Kumbha, Mina and Mesha. The
seventh lord is in the fourth (Dhanush)
from it and its arudha
is Dhanush only. The twelfth has its lord in the seventh from
it, and hence its arudha is in the tenth from it, namely
Vri shchi ka. (1.1.52).
The arudha of the twel fth i s cal l ed
Upapada and it
plays
an important part
in dealing with the wife
or husband
of the native.
There are some other lagnas. In each czrse, we give
the
traditional methods that are scientifically accurate.
2. Hora Lagna:
(a)
Take the Ghatis from Sunrise to the
ti me of bi rth. Di vi de them by 2.5. The quoti ent ptus
one i s to
be counted from the Sun. In our example, the Janma ghatis
are 10.57. Divided by 2.5 we get
four. The fifth from Sun Sign

(1.50.58)
(b)
Dach hora lagna has a duration of one hour. Multiply the
Janma Chatis by twelve. Add the
product,
divide by 5O to the
exact longitude of the Sun of birth. In our example, we get
l 5l o. 24' as t he pr oduct
di vi ded by JO we get
4-22-48' . Addi ng thi s to the l ongi tude of Sun we get
Taurus
(1.50.58).
Thi s al one i s to be accepted. It pl ays
an i mportant
part
in determining longevity.
3. Bhava Lagna:
(a)
Divide the Janma ghatis
by five. The
quotient plus
one is to be counted from the Sun. The remain-
der is to be converted into degrees and minutes. The birth
ti me i s l O ghati s and57 vi ghati s or 10.95. The quoti ent

4. Ghatika Lagna :
(a)
Divide the Janma
ghatisby
twelve.
Take the remainder and add one to it. Count it from the Janma
lagna. The fraction of the remainder is to be converted into
degrees and minutes. Thus, 1O.95 divided by twelve gives
the
remai nder 1O.95 or 10-26o. 5O' + Sun. Thus Chati ka l agna i s

Addi ng thi s to the Sun

as Qhatika lagna.
5. Vighatika Lagna : Five vighatis are equal to thirty
degrees. The birth vighatis in our example are 657. When five
vighatis are equal to thirty degrees, 657 vighatis are equal to
3942 degrees. Dxpunging multiples of 56O we get 342 de-
gr ees. We add t hi s t o t he l ongi t ude of t he

200. 1o' .
6. Gulika : There is much confusion in our texts between
Mandi and Culika. Jaimini appears to equate Qulika with
Mandi . tl ence, we gi ve the method to determi ne the l ongi tude
of Gulika which
plays an important
part in determining
profes-
sion and longevity. Divide the duration of the day into eight
equal
parts. Count them from the day of birth, In the order of
the week days, at the end of Saturday, we get the longitude of
Gul i ka. In our exampl e, the durati on of the day i s I I hours,
I1.8 mi nutes. Each part has one hour and 25.975 mi nutes.
The birth begins as a Thursday. Saturday's
part ends four
hours and I 1. 925 mi nut es af t er sunri se whi ch was at
60.55' .8' . Gul i ka then ri ses i n Mi na as 22o.8' .
When a native is born at night, divide the duration of the
night into eight equal
parts.
Count from the fifth day of the
day of birth and find where Saturday's
part ends. If one is
born on a Thursday night, the fifth day is Monday. Then
Culika's
part comes at the end of the sixth part.
7. Pranapada : This is important in verifying the accu-
racy of Janma lagna. Sutra 4. 5, 22 states :
"Pranapada
is
calculated by taking the degrees in a set of three signs of
ninety degrees as equal to the
pranas for a lagna rasi and
also according to the order of the movable, fixed and com-
mon si gns".
(Al so
4. 1. 41). .
Six
pranas are equal to one vighati or twenty four seconds.
Each
prana is equal to four seconds. Double the Janma
Vighatis. Add the
product to the Sun's longitude if the Sun is
in a movable sign; If the Sun is in a fixed sign add another
24O degrees and If the sun is in a common sign add

the fifth sign from Mesha.
Another way to take the time of birth from sunrise
in hours
and minutes. Divide the totar minutes
by six and add the
product
to the Sun's longitude.
In our example,
the birth is
four hours and 22.8 minutes after sunrise.
Thus, 262.a
divid-
ed by six gives
45 signs and O.g
(or
Z4 degrees).
Adding
it to
the longitude
of the Sun, we get
the same result.
According
to
parashara,
?ranapada
is good
if it falls in a
kendra,
kona, or in the second
house or in the eleventh
house.
8. Varnada Lagna : When the Janma lagna is an odd sign,
count from Mesha in the clockwise
direction.
If it is an even
sign, count from
Mina in the anti<,lockwise
manner.
similarly,
count the Hora Lagna. Take the hora lagna as calculated
scientifically.
If the Sum of hora and Janma tagna
happens to
be in even sign then this even total should be subtracted
from
12, ln case, this Janma + flora is already
odd, accept it, as
Varnada Langa without
any modification.
In our example, lagna Mina is an even sign. It is one from
Mina. llora Lagna is the odd simha which is the fifth from
Mesha' The difference
is four. count the prbduct
from Mesha
if the Janma lagna is an odd sign, or from Mina if the Janma
Iagna is an even sign. In our example, the lagna is an even
sign. The fourth from Mina is Dhanush
which is the varnada
lagna.
In the same manner, we have to count the varnada
rasis
for the other houses. The second
house from lagna and Hora
Lagna have to be counted.
The second from tagna

our example is Mesha, and from flora lagna it is lknya.
I{anya being an even sign, it is the seventh from Mina.
Mesha being an odd sign, it is the first from Mesha. The
difference is six. As the second from lagna is an odd sign
Mesha, the sixth from it is Kanya which is the varnada of the
second sign.

9. ltandi : Jaimini does not appear to distinguish Mandi
from Qul i ka. He seems to mean onl y Cul i ka even when he
uses the word Mandi, though we are not sure of this inter-
pretation. This is a problem that requires further research.
Hence, we
gi ve the method of cal cul ati ng Mandi ' s posi ti on.
tn the order of the week days from Sunday, Mandi rises at
t he end of 26, 22, l A, 14, LO, 6 and 2
ghat i s
when t he
duration of the day is thirty
ghatis. If the birth is at night,
count at t he end of l O, 6, 2, 26, 22, l A and l 4
ghat i s i f t he
duration of the night is thirty ghatis. This count is from
Sunday onwards. In our example, Mandi rises in Mina on
150.45' . When Jai mi ni menti ons Mandi , some research i s
necessary to find out whether he meant Culika or Mandi. It
is to stimulate the research students that we have given the
method for calculating both Mandi and Culika.

5. Strength of Planets
and Houses
In the Parashara
system, there are six sources
of
strength (shadbala)
for each planet.
In
jaimini,s
system,
there does not appear
to be any distinction
between
a
sign
(Rasi)
and a house (bhava).
The calculation
of the
strength of a planet
and of a house is very simple in this
system.
Note that the signs also aspect the signs, and that there_
fore, the planets
in a sign aspect
the concerned sign and
the planets
therein. Sutras 1.2 and 5 state that the signs
aspect the opposi te (abhi mukha)
si gns and the next ones.
Opposite in this case does not mean the seventh from the
si gn. The anci ent
comment at ors
expl ai ned
t hat t he
abhi mukha
or opposi te si gn i s the ei ghth for the movabl e
(chara)
signs, the sixth for the fixed signs and the seventh
for the dual ones. Sutras 4.2.b. and 6 expl ai n that the
aspect on the abhimukha
sign is full and on the others
partial,
mild or gentle.
Sut ras 2. 3. 5 t o l Z and 5. 5. l Og t o 116 def i ne
t he
method for the calculation for the strength
of the sign and
pl anets.
l. The Atmakaraka is the most important planet
in this
system. The sign where he is situated becomes
strong.
2. A sign having a planet
is stronger than the one having
none.
5. The sign with a larger number of planets
is stronger
than the one havi ng a smal l er number.
4. If two or more si gns have equal number of pl anets,
we have to find out whether a planet
is exalted, in its own
mul atri kona or i n i ts own, fri endl y or neutral
or i ni mi cal
sign. The strength varies. numerically,
we may tabulate in
the fol l owi ng matter taki ng one as the uni t of measurement.

determine the stronger one by considering the nature of the
sign as movable
(chara),
fixed
(sthira),
and dual or common
(dvisvabhava).
A fixed sign is stronger than the movable,
and the dual sign is stronger than the fixed one.
6. A sign becomes stronger when it has Jupiter, Mercury
or its own lord, or when it is aspected by any of these three.
7. A si gn havi ng a pl anet or pl anets on ei ther si de i s
stronger than the one having none on both sides.
8. Note the sign in the natal chart where the Atmakaraka
i s l ocated. The pl anets i n l , 4, 7
,
l O from that si gn have one
uni t of strength. The pl anets i n2,5,8, I I from i t have a hal f
uni t of st rengt h. Those i n 5, 6, 9 and 12 f rom i t havaone-
fourth uni t of strength.

Putra
-

l O. The Strength of a pl anet i s fi nal l y determi ned by
three factors. These are
(

)
Amsa strength. This depends on
the longitudes of the planets in a sign. lt refers to the karaka
and thei r strength i s to be cal cul ated as per the ni nth
paragraph.
(2)
The second i s the mul atri kona strength. Thi s
i s
gi ven above i n the fourth paragraph.
(5)
The thi rd source
i s the kendra, panaphara and Apokl i ma posi ti ons from the
sign occupied by Atmakaraka. This is given in the eiglrth
paragraph.
I l . The strength of a si gn i s determi ned by four factors.
(l )
The fi rst i s chara strength. A cardi nal si gn has .25 uni ts,
a fi xed si gn O.5 uni ts and a common si gn one ful l uni t.
(2)
The second i s Sthi ra strength. A si gn havi ng no pl anet (Rahu
and ketu i ncl uded) has no strength. A si gn wi th one pl anet
has one uni t of strength; wi th two i t has 1.25. Thus i ncrease
O.25 for any addi ti onal
pl anet. Then a si gn havi ng ei ght
pl anets has a strength of 2.75 uni ts.
(5)
The thi rd i s the
strength due to the conj uncti on or aspect of Jupi ter. Mer-
cury and i ts own l ord. The aspects are as per

The fourth is one unit of strength which a
sign
gets by having Atmakaraka in it.

the houses from lagna to the sixth.
2.
(a)
If this Brahma happens to be Shani, Rahu, or Ketu,
then count t l e si xth
pl anet from the concerned
one
-
the sequence is that of the week days followed
by Rahu and Ketu' This sixth
planet becomes the true
Brahma.
Some authorities
are of this opinion that the
planet placed in the house or rasi, counting
from the
concerned
pl anet, becomes Brahma.
Thi s second
optional
interpretation
holds
good.
(b)
tf there are 2 or more such
planets qualified for this
position, take the one who is more advanced
as
per
the degrees
and minutes;
and he becomes Brahma'
(c) If Rahu is a condidate,
its strength is determined
by
deducting
its longitude
from thirty dgrees' Even then
the sixth from it becomes
Brahma'
5. There are other claimants
for the
position of 6rahma'
They should
be in an odd sign in the
preceeding six signs'
(a)
The Lord of the eighth from the Atmakaraka
(in rasi)
can be Brahma.
(b)
The
planets occupying
the eighth
from the Atma'
karaka can also be Brahma.
(c) If many candidates
are found, take the one who is
advanced
in degrees in the sign.
(d)
If the Brahmas have the same advanced degrees, the
one
in a stronger sign, becomes Brahma'
In our example
chart, the seventh is stronger than the
lagna as we have seen. The Lords of 6, 8 and 12 from the
seventh
(Kanya) are Shani, Kuja and Sun' Only Shani is in the
preceeding six signs and it is an odd sign' The sixth from
Shani is Kuja who is Brahma'
The 8th Lord from Atma Karaka
(Budha) is the Moon
who is in an even sign. The eighth from Atmakaraka

'Brahmaadi
reshaa'Sthira dasa begins from the sign occu-
pi ed by Brahma. Longevi ty say Sutras 2.1.53 and 5. 2. 33,
extends from the sign having Brahma to the sign having
Mahesvara.
Fl ahesvara
(2.1.44-46).
Thi s i s another symbol i c poi nt.
l.
(a)
The Lord of the eighth sign from Atmakaraka is the
Mahesvara.
(b)
If this lord is in its own or in its exaltation sign,
then the Mahesvara wi l l be the stronger pl anet
between
the l ords of ei ghth and twel fth from
Atmakaraka.
2.
(a)
If Rahu or Ketu is in the eighth from Atmakaraka or
if he is with the eighth lord then the sixth planet
counted from Atmakaraka will be Mahesvara.
(b)
If two or more planets become qualified,
the stron-
ger one is Mahesvara.
In our example, the eighth lord from Atma karaka
(Budha
i n Sagi ttari us) i s i n the Moon. He i s not i n hi s own
sign, nor is he exalted, nor is he with Rahu or Ketu, the
Moon is Mahesvara and the sign is Makara. The sign l, 5
and 9
(Shul a
Rasi s) from the l ord of the ei ghth form
Mahesvara si gn become the maraka dasas
(2.1.54).
Rudra
(2.1.35-42).
Thi s i s the thi rd symbol i c poi nt.
(a)
Note who is stronger between the lords of the sec-
ond and eighth from Lagna. The stronger one is
Rudra. If the weaker one is aspected by a malefic,
he becomes an addi ti onal Rudra.
In our exampl e the second and ei ghth l ords from Lagna
are Kuj a and Shukra. The stronger one i s Shukra
(i n
Scor-
pio) who is Rudra. Kuja in a movable sign is aspected by
Shani from a fi xed si gn. Thus Kuj a becomes a suppl emen-
tary Rudra with Libra as the sign.
If the
powerful Rudra is aspected by benefics, death can
be i n the Rudra Rasi s' s
peri od
or i n the peri ods of the fi fth
or ni nth si gns from i t. If the weaker Rudra has benefi c
conj uncti on or aspect, he extends the l ength of l i fe, to the
period of Rudra rasi or to the periods of the fifth or ninth

signs from it. These results are not to be
predicted if planets
other than the Sun are in the fifth and ninth from the two
Rudras. lf the two Rudras are malefic, death will be in the
period of the sign having them. If one of them alone is a
malefic, then death is in the
period of the fifth sign from it. If
both are benefic the maraka
period is in the
period of the
ninth sign from it. Always follow the rule of backward counting
while determining Brahama rudra or Mahesvara, if the con-
cerned
planet is placed in an even sign.
(vide
sutras. 1.1.25'
27').
To indicate the Rasis
(signs)
or Bhavas
(houses)
Jaimini
employs the letter of the alphabet to indicate the numerals.
The vowels have a zero value. From the letter 6 to t there
are ten,' from d to
;T
we have ten; from 9 to
rI
there are five;
and from
zI
to E we have eight. Then the numerals indicated
by the letters are to be reversed and divided by twelve to
get the house. Thus
'Pita'gives
I and 6. Reversing it we get
6l and dividing it by twelve we
get
one as the remainder'
The word then means lagna. Kriya
gives 2 and I
(2
for r in
kri), and it is the twelfth sign. Mesha
gives 5 and 6 which is
65, the remainder being the fifth house. Other technical
terms will be explained in the sequel'
5. Longevity
The longevity of a native must be determined first and
then we can get into the predictive part. The system of
?arashara
gives Amsa, Pinda, Naisargika and other systems
for computing the longevity. But Vimshottari alone is in
vogue. In the system of Jaimini the calculation is not com-
plex, though when we get into the Dasa systems, the prob-
lem becomes tough.
Sutras 2.1.1 to l 4 of Jai mi ni refer to the determi nati on
of longevity. We summarise the rules'
l. l. Longevity is determined by the lords of the first and
the eighth houses. There is long life
(a)
when these lords
are in movable signs
(Mesha, Karka, Tula and Makara); or
(b)
when one l ord i s i n a fi xed si gn
(Vri shabha, Si mha,
Vrishchika and Kumbha) and the other in a common or dual
si gn.

2. Longevity is medium
(a)
when one of these lords is in
a cardinal sign and the other in a fixed sign, or
(b)
when
both are in common signs.
5. Longevity is short
(a)
when one of these lords is in a
movable
(cardinal
sign) and the other in a common sign; or
(b)
when both are in fixed signs.
II. The same rules are to be applied also to
(a)
the lagna
and the Moon, and to
(b)
the l agna and Hora l agna.(c) the
Moon and Saturn.
Ci vi ng the numbers l , 2, 5 to movabl e, fi xed, and
common signs respectively. We tabulate these as follows:
Long l i fe : I and l ;2 and 3; 5 and 2
Medi um l i f e : I and 2; 2 and l ; 5 and 5
Short l i f e : I and 5; 5 and l ; 2 and2
In our exampl e chart
(a)
the l ords of I and 8 are i n 1

(b)
the l agna and Moon are i n
5 and I showi ng short l i fe
(c)

are i n 5 and 2,
gi vi ng l ong l i fe. Thus the three sets gi ve
three
different readings. How are we to decide and fix the longev-
i ty i n thi s si tuati on ?
When two or three of these factors
(Lords
of I and 8.
Lagna and Moon, Lagna and Hora lagna) agree, this has to
be accepted as fi nal . But when the three
gi ve
three types of
longevity we have to accept that given by Lagna and Flora
Lagna
(2. 1. 8).

2. Death is to be determined through the lord of eighth
from lagna or from the seventh whichever is stronger. In our

(a) When the Kendras of Jupiter are aspected by both
Mars and Saturn, or when Saturn is in one of Jupiter's
kendras, then compartment
of longevity
gets reduced, that
is, long life becomes medium,
and medium life becomes
short.

is
reduced.
(c)
The sarne happens when the Moon is in the
eighth from AK, or when the Moon is the seventh from AK or
from Lagna.
(d)
If the seventh from lagna or AK has Saturn,
the native dies in the first
part of the compartment'
If Rahu
fs thus
placed, death is in the second
part; and if Ketu is
there,
death is in the third-part of the Compartment'
III. Longevity
is also to be determined
from the trikona
houses
(

6. Chara dasa
Parashara has given a large number of Dasa-systems,
though he appears to favour the Vi mshottari system. In
Jai mi ni too we have many systems of dasa; and he fre-
quentl y refers to chara, sthi ra and navamsha dasas. The
first two are very important. In Parashara the dasas are
gi ven
to the
pl anets,
whi l e i n Jai mi ni the si gns or rasi s have
dasas. The duration of the dasas is not fixed. They vary.
Chara dasa and trikona dasa will help us to fix all
important events. Within two to three weeks an event can
be ti med i f navamsha dasa al so i s taken up al ong wi th
ei ther of the two. Chara and Ni ryana Shul a Dasa can deter-
mi ne the l ongevi ty i n many i nstances.
In Chara dasa the si gns are cl assi fi ed i nto Vi shamapada
and Samapada. Ari es, Taurus, Qemi ni , Li bra, Scorpi o and
Sagi ttari us bel ong to the Vi shamapada group.
The others
hre i n the Samapada group. In the former the dasas run
cl ockwi se and i n the l atter they are anti cl ockwi se.
Whi ch wi l l be the fi rst dasa ? Note whether the ni nth
house from l agna bel ongs to Vi shamapada or Samapada. l f
It i s a Vi shamapada si gn, the fi rst dasa wi l l be that of the
l agna fol l owed by the other si gns i n a cl ockwi se manner. l f
i t i s a sampada si gn, the fi rst dasa i s that of the l agna
fol l owed by the dasas of the houses L2, l l , l O, 9 and so
on.
What is the duration of each dasa ? The dasa period
of
a si gn i s dependant on the di stance between that si gn and
that of the sign where its lord is located. For a rough
cal cul ati on, i f the di stance i s ni ne si gns, we have to deduct
one; and i ts dasa wi l l be for ei ght years. Thus for Mi na

rule.

Suppose Kuj a or Ketu i s i n hi s own and the other i n

determi ned by Ketu from Vri shchi ka, and by Rahu
f rom Kumbha.
(e)
Suppose Kuj a and Ketu, or Shani and Rahu are i n

note the nature of the si gn. Common
, signs are stronger than fixed signs, and the fixed
ones are stronger than th movabl es. But i f both
have equal strength, then take the one who gives
more years.
But i f one l ord i s debi l i tated and the
.
other exalted, consider by the latter.
This is a rough method of calculation. According to this
our example chart gives
the following years:

note that Rahu is exalted in Mithuna 20, and Ketu in
Dhanush 6.

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

8. Tfikona Dasa
The next is the Trikona Dasa. Find the strongest out of
the l agna, the fi fth and the ni nth. The fi rst dasa commences
from that sign. Here we have to take into consideration the
Vi shamapada and Samapada si gns. If the strongest i s a
Vishamapada sign the order of the dasas is clockwise; oth-
erwi se i t i s anti cl ockwi se.
If the first dasa is that of a Vishamapada sign the se-
quence
of the dasas i s as fol l ows : Fi rst Dasa : Starti ng Sun;
2nd
-
fi fth from the fi rst; 5rd

l 2th from the starti ng one..
l f the starti ng dasa bel ongs to the Samapada
group
(Karka,
Si mha, Kanya, Yl akara, Kumbha, Mi na) the se-
quence i s reversed. Thus t he order wi l l be l , 9, 5, 12, 8, 4,
LL, 7, 3, a, 6, 2.
In our exampl e chart the l agna has two uni ts.of i ts
strength, the fi fth has 2.25 uni ts, and the ni nth has 2.25
uni ts. The ni nth i s Vri shchi ka whi ch i s the strongest. It
bel ongs to Vi shamapada group. But i ts ni nth i s Samapada.
The sequence of Dasas i s Vri shchi ka, Karka, Tul a,
Mi thuna, Kumbha, Kanya, Vri shabha, Makara, Mesha and
Dhanush. The cal cul ati on of the dasa for each si gn i s si mi -
l ar to the method
gi ven for Chara Dasa
peri ods.
Thus we
get for thi s sequence of Dasas 7A.227432
years as we have noticed earlier.
For an exhausti ve treatment of Jai mi ni ' s system of as-
trology, refer to our Jaimini Sutram,
