life cycle. The family thread or bonding still has an influential effect on the Moon in
the tenth house. The 4th and 10th house axis form the “family status” and it also

and permanence in their lives. They are self-reliant and independent.

result, Sun and Venus together give bad results except health and help from
Government. There will be no happiness in family life. Here Venus is Putra karaka
and in association with Sun, which is Amatya karaka.

Saturn, and in this chart, Rahu is in eighth house.

abandonment of the material world. Mars, Mercury and Ketu are in conjunction.

property, they have been forced to stay away from home.
Saturn and Sun are in Kendra sthanas, Sun, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn, Mars are
natural maefic planets. They harm the prospects of the house with which they are
associated or whom they aspect.
263
5 : Case Studies
Rahu and Ketu are shadowy planets and if they are found situated alone
without being associated with or being under the aspect of any planet, they will give
results through the planet which is lord of the sign occupied with them (Bhasin J.N.
1997).
Saturn, Mercury and Venus are benefics for Libra ascendant, and Saturn being
the best. For Libra ascendant, Sun, Jupiter and Moon are malefics. Mars is taken as
feeble benefic (Raman B.V.2002).
The most vulnerable house in the astrology is fourth house. If this house is
damaged the native have hard time to achieve inner peace. In fact, Saturn brings blend
of both positive and negative shades. The placement of Saturn in fourth house will be
the reason for both good and adverse things in life. The life will be both pleasing and
difficult at times.
The Saturn in fourth house deprives the native from happiness. Sometimes
may cause emotional separations. There may be deep lack of emotional security due
to early experiences. The ability to be self-sufficient and making our own way in the
world has always been tested by Saturn. Adawal Shanker (2006), said that, retrograde
Saturn in the chart, represents the neglect of responsibilities in the past or previous
life. With a retrograde Saturn, he comes in to the current life, with a tendency to carry
forward the same goals which he had left unfinished, in the previous life, as not
fulfilled. But in this case Saturn is in its own sign, so it should give happiness. But it
in association with Moon and it is said that Saturn-Moon association, is called
Punaraphoo Dosha. (KP PADDHATI). It also affects other aspects of life. Saturn and
Moon are not inimical to each other, but Saturn is inimical to Moon. The effect
depends on sign in house and aspect on them. Here Saturn and Moon are aspected by
Sun.
BHINNASHTAKAVARGA (BAV), with reference to Libra position in natal
chart are highlighted. It is noted from (SAV) Chart that second house consists of 29
benefic points, fourth house consists of 22 benefic points and ninth house is seen
having 32 benefic points. The benefic points in second and ninth houses are somewhat
more than 30, but points in fifth house, which is house of children, are less than 25,
and it can be concluded that there is no happiness from children.

constrained interaction with father figure and it also means hard luck.
Fifth house belongs to children when Rahu occupy fifth house it creates Putra
dosha. i.e. trouble in child birth in case of female birth chart.

5 : Case Studies
Sarva means all-encompassing and this chart is the biggest chart when
compared to the other Ashtakvarga charts. This chart is a sum total of all other
Ashtakvarga chart. The house that has the lowest score is the weakest. Less than 25
points means the weak houses. When the score is between 25 to 28 points the house is
called the strong house.
CASE 1:
The D-1 of the natal chart (SAV) shows the benefic points in various houses.
In the above table benefic points obtained in sarvastaka varga of natal chart
are shown. In Kendra or cardinal houses points obtained are 27+31+31+27=116.
Panphara or succedent houses obtained 26+25+25+28= 104, and Apoklimaor cadent
houses obtained 28+31+31+27=117.
It can be said that the middle part is not very good. In kendra and apoklima the
points are nearabout same But accoding to Jatak Parijata1, under the heading’
difference in khandatraya or three parts of life’ points obtained in VIII house and XII
house should not be included. Thus by deducting 25 i.e. points in VIII house (104-
25=79) the points in VIII house are 79 and by deducting points of XII house from
117(117-27=90) the remaining points are 90. It can be conclude that the minimum
points are obtained in succedent houses and 90 points are obtained in the Apoklima
houses.

The above table shows that the three parts of life span i.e. first part (from XII
house to III house) obtained 27+27+26+28=108, and second part from house IV to
VII, the points obtained are 31+25+ 31+31=118 and in last part of life the benefic
points are 25+31+27+28=111 out of total 337 bindus or points.It shows that the
second part of her life was better than the first and third part. By deducting the points
of VIII and XII house 111-25 and 108-27 the remaining bindus are 86 and 81
respectively. It can be concluded that the first and later part of life was not very good
and the middle part of life was better.
CASE 2:
110-points of XII house 23= 87 and 118- points of VIII house 28= 90
268
5 : Case Studies
Thus it can 1be concluded here that the later part of life is miserable than the other
two parts. Kendra house obtained highest points in sarvashtaka varga.
129-23=106
112-28=84
The table shows khandatraya of first, middle, and later part of life, starting
from XII house to XI house, XII to III; IV to VII and VIII to XI; and it is clear that the
first part obtained 129 points; second part obtained only 96 points, the lowest figure;
and the later part o 1f life obtained 112 points in sarvashtaka varga. By deducting
points of VIII house the remaining points are 84 (112-28=84) and by deducting points
of XII house (129-23=106) the remaining points are 106 and it can be conclude that
the later part of life will be miserable as it has minimum benefic points , (84) which
means the malefic points are more. First part of life is than the second or middle part
of life. The middle part of life is worst as compared to first and later part of life.
In the present research study the objective was to study II, V, and IX house of
SAV of natal chart so his part is not included in the study but discussed here in the
case study. This can be taken as a topic for further research.
