aforementioned cases if the Karakas of the relevant areas show affliction as well.
Various theories are being suggested as to cancellation and reduction in intensity of the said Dosha. In the authors view, none of these are deserving of
automatic and complete acceptance. It will be most prudent to judge the associations and condition of the Graha in Varga (Divisional) charts and other means to
judge the power of the Graha. There is indeed one rider to this rule. In the Rashi chart itself, it is found that the less afflicted the Graha is the more unfettered it feels to
bring forth the results of KDPD in respect of the human being concerned. It has been observed, that the linkage of a Graha with the malefic stations of the 64th
Navamsha, which is the 4th H, 4th L and the Graha posited therein, from the Moon in the Navamsha chart, and the 22nd Drekkana, the 8th L, 8th H and the Graha
posited therein prove to be detrimental to the affairs indicated by a Graha. This applies to the Graha carrying KDPD. It is a rule to ascertain deep-seated malefic
potential of an otherwise malefic Graha, say, a Badhak (Obstructing) agent, or some other malefic. Some say, placement of a KDPD Graha in a Trikona (Trine) takes
away its malefic power. Others say this is the case with an Upachaya (House of Growth). Still others say it is both of these. But will a KDPD Guru for instance in the
5thH not cause increased apprehensions of a Karakobhavanashaya type situation, namely, the significator of a given house is detrimental to the affairs of that house!
Hence, it is far better to attribute KDPD to a Graha that actually carries it and then judge it in the light of ancient and modern theories to see which will apply. As it
might appear at the outset, this is not always a very easy task. It is up to us, Brahmins of the Kaliyug, delving into this sacred, occult heart of Existence to come up
with reliable applications of the wisdom of the Rishis. By Brahmin it is not meant to refer only to that caste of India but to all metaphysical researchers, in tune with the
overwhelming reality of such disciplines
Vrishabh (Taurus) and Kumbha (Aquarius) Lagnas are not susceptible to KDPD since Shukra for the latter Lagna is a Yogakaraka (YK) (owning both a Trikona &
Kendra), KDPD not applying to a YK Graha; Vrishabh has no natural benefics as lord of Kendras. For Mesha (Aries) and Vrishchik (Scorpio) Lagnas, Shukra becomes
afflicted with this Dosha as 7th L and becomes capable of testing the native with reference to events primarily related to spouse and sexual partner. For Karka Lagna,
too, Shukra acquires the lordship of a Kendra though not of the 7th H. Nevertheless, this hasnt stopped Shukra from precipitating tests in marital life for these
natives since it is the karaka of conjugal bliss and domestic harmony apart from ruling the mother in particular. Similarly, KDPD ought to be worked out for the other
benefics, like Budh acquiring it for Lagnas ruled by Guru, Dhanu and Meena. Chandra acquires it for Tula (Libra) and Mesha Lagnas. Apart from exempting the YK
Grahas from the Dosha, the Lagnesh will also be exempt since the Lagna is both a Kendra as well as a Trikona. Hence, though Budh is the lord of two quadrants for
Mithun and Kanya and Guru for Dhanu and Meena, they will be exempt from the affliction due to Lagna lordship. Chandra does not carry the Dosha for Karka, being
Lagnesh. For Simha (Leo) Lagna, the affliction to Shukra is not that intense in actual practice. A rather revolutionary theory is being offered currently that despite the
benefic Lagna lordship of Shukra for Tula Lagna, it acts as a KDPD Graha. It is felt by the author that the malefic results of Shukra for this Lagna do not lead from any
such Dosha but just from the potentially most adverse lordship of the 8th H.
The central point is that some of these features can offer valuable inputs to chart analysis. Factors such as exact degree combustion of Grahas due to placement at
the exact degrees as the Sun might be valuable pointers as to the future prospects regarding living beings represented by such Grahas. Degree combustion ought to
be viewed differently from being merely in the various ranges of combustion assigned for different Grahas. There is something more exact, starker about exact degree
combustion. Just as combustion is sometimes seen to actually add to the non-living manifestations of a Graha, this degree combustion could heighten it even more.
Likewise, apart from Gandanta location, the more general indication of weakening, or being loaded with both houses attributes, or being neither here not there, ought
to be judged from the Rashi Sandhi (junctional regions of signs) status of Grahas.
In this manner, attendant rules of this sort can lead to acuity of perception regarding a chart. Possibilities in this direction are endless and can furnish grounds for
deep research in Jyotish. Doubtful areas that crop up for Jyotishis (Vedic Astrologers) in actual practice, like equating malefic Grahas in two charts for the purposes of
matchmaking for instance, might be fraught with extreme danger before it can be actually established that a Graha like Shani can actually neutralize a bitter enemy
like Mangal is a potential spouses chart. Some say that location of Shani in Kendras from Mangal takes care of the Kuja Dosha while it seems to others that a
mutual aspect between these two most cruel planets will only add to their virulence. In doubtful situations it might be better to adopt a somewhat conservative
approach rather than pay the price later. In this example where there may be doubt, one may play safe by not only considering cancellation of a Dosha caused by one
Graha by only that Graha in the other chart, or one like it, e.g., Ketu for Mangal, but also looking for cancellation in exactly the same house. This is so since it can
hardly be argued that the 12th H Dosha is equally malefic as the 8th H Dosha. They rule entirely different areas and cannot leap across the chart, as it were, into the
other house just to oblige the astrologer.
Great scope exists for fine-tuning interpretative techniques of chart analyses by evolving new rules and ideas as too discovering the validity of old and concealed
ones.
