A Tribute
The late Shri J.N. Bhasin was a great exponent of
Hindu Astrology. His deep study, keen lntellect,
unquenchablethirst for knowledge, original thinking
and practical experienceturned him into an astrologer
and writer of great eminence.He worte both in Hfidi
and English.All his books are simple in'language,easy
to follow, and extremelyrich and instructivein contents.
They.are of a high standard and authoritative.They
contain many rules and principles which have been
brought to light for the first time. There will hardly be
any studentof Hindu AstrologynothavingShri Bhaiin,s
books in his Library.
His monumental translation in English of ,,prasna
Marga" a greatly referred Sanskrit work on Horarv
As t rolo g y a n d o t h e r b o o ks w i l l a l w a ys r em ain a
powerful sourceof inspiration and guidanceto all those
interested in the study of Astrology. His last book
published is 'Dispositors in Astroi ogy'.His daring
principles propounded in this work HORA SHATAK
have opened new vistas for study and researchin the
field of predictive Astrology.
It is my great privilege to present this meritorious
Hindi book HORA SHATAK first time in English,
contairringrules for the judgementof horoscopes,many

of which will not be foulrd in any otl'rer book on the
subject.He put them in print only after he was fully
convincedby practical applicationof their efficacyand'
correctness.I am fully confident that this book, though small in size yet worthy in its contents,will definitely
enhancethe knowledge and predictive capability of our
readers.
Though the great savant is no more, yet the rich
treasureof knowledge left by him will continue to guide
the aspiring students, like a luminated lighthouse in the
vast oceanof AstrologY.

INTRODUCTION
In spite of the fact that numerous authoritative
classicson Hindu Astrology areavailable,we have taken
the liberty to present this small volume on the subject.
We have felt it very necessarydue to our experienceof
several years that we discovered that certain basic
conceptsof Astrology that had lost sight of and had not
found place in the books of Astrology at present
available. As will be seenby the readersafter a perusal
of this book, there is a good number of special aspects
and principles brought to light in this book, which will
prove to be of immense practical utility not only for
personswith an elementary knowledge of Astrology but
also for those engaged in research and are in dn
advanced stage of their studies.
The basic concepts of Astrology dealt with in this
book are such which ascribe great significance and
importance to the connectionsbetween a house,its lord
and its significator (Karnka).We have found in our
prolonged study and researchthat basicrules for proper
analysis of Yogas in Astrology, which cause certain
events in the lives of the natives have not been dealt
with in the available astrologicalclassics.We have tried
to fill this gap to the best of our ability by analysing and
demonstrating such principles logically becauseit is our
firm belief that logic is the soul of the science of
Astrology. We have often observed that the students of
Astrology while dealing with certain aspects in a
nativity keep only a limited or partial vision on the
principles of assessmentof a horoscope.We have,

therefore,made an attempt to deviserules to examinea
certain human aspectfrom a number of housesand we
ardently hope that the methodsdemonstratedherewill
receiveuniversal acceptanceand recognition.
A seriousconsiderationof factswill inevitably lead
to the conclusionthat symbology plays a very important
part in predictive Astrology. It will be very difficult for
one to successfullystudy and correctly understand the
subjectof AstroloW,if he is ignorant of significanceof
symbology.How important is the useof symbology will
be app a r e n t f r o m a p e ru sa l o f sl o k a 47 which
demonstratesthat all matters related to the Ascendant
(Lagna)can be easily analysedand determined through
the principles of symbology. Similarly another example
of the practical utility of symbology will be found in
the case of Mercury who has been described as
'Kumara' (a boy of tender age).We have found that as
Mercury representsvery young age therefore he gives
his results in the early part of life (seesloka 30).
With due respectsto the learnedand very proficients
in Astrolo1y, we humbly submit that the generally
accepted theory that a planet when retrograde gains
more strength, is not wholly acceptable to us. We,
however, agree that the theory is true partially. While
dealing with this subject, we have fully discussed the
principles laid down in Uttara Kalamrita fbr retrograde
planets in exaltation and in debilitation alongwith other
situations in which a planet is retrograde. We are
confident that all those engagedin the serious study of
Astrology, after practical applicaton of our views, will
support us.
We are perhaps the first in the field of Astrology to
discover,me-+ion and put to practical use the special
t(.
effectsof the aspectsof planets,on either side of a house

or the planet situated in it (qrlffi
Eful. We are of the
view that specialeffectsof such aspectsnot only prove
the validity of Yogaslike Adhiyoga (for example, see
Sloka28) also enable us to correctly interpret the effects
of the concernedplanets.
The method of determining the times of events like
marriage, dawn of fortune (Bhagyodaya)by calculating
the average period of planets like Mercury etc.,
describedby us here has been devised after prolonged
researchand will not be found in any other work on
Astrology. This method could also be usefully applied
for determination of the length of academiccareer,etc.
We have only indicated the results of our researchand
their applicability on other mattersconcerninga nativity,
will depend on further researchby our readers.
The authors of various astrological works \ave
generally laid stresson the examinati6n of the 8th hduse
for determining the causeof death but we feel that it is
also important to take into accountthe disposition and
strength of the Ascendantand its lord for this purpose.
(Seesloka 64 and the illustration given by us).
Although we do claim that many of the conceptsof
predictive Astrology discussedin this book, have been
brought to light for the first time, but we are quite sure
that none of them is againstthe establishedprinciples
of Hindu Astrology. All the principles mentioned here
can be authenticatedby referenceto classicaltexts but
we have not found it possibleto do so for want of space.
While we are confident that meticulous application
of principles contained in this book will enable our
readers to make amazingly accurate prediction. We
would feel more than satisfied if even appreciable
successis achievedin this direction.

Elementary Knowledg" of Astrology

Before we take up the subject proper, we propose
to impart in this sectionsomeelementaryknowledge
of the basicsof Hindu Astrology. This will help those
who have very little knowledge but are keen to study
this subject.It is a matter of common knowledge that
there are many persons who have no elementary
grounding in this subject but are keen to study books
on Astrology.
The birth chart is the map of the heavensat the time
of birth and containsplanetsin the positionsasthey are
in the zodiac at that time.
Zodiac
The first thing we should know is"Zodiac". It is an
imaginary broad belt in the heavensextendingabout 9
degreeson eachside of the ecliptic. Ecliptic is the path
of the Sunwhich (path) passesexactlytfuough the centre
of the Zodiac. The Zodiac is an imaginary circle of 360
degreesand our learned ancientsdivided this circle into
twelve equal parts of 30 degreeseach.Eachequal part
of 30 degreesis known as a sign (Rasi).

Signs or Rasis and Planets

There are twelve signsand nine planets.Out of the
nine planetsthere are only sevenwho are lords of the
twelve signs.The Sun and the Moon own only one sign
each, the remaining five viz., Mars, Mercury, Jupiter
Venusand Saturn own two signs each.The remaining
two planets Rahu and Ketu do not own any signs as
they are termed as shadowy planets representingthe
lord of sign in which they areplaced.The following table
shows the 12 signs and their lords.

The differencein the two forms is that while in form I

signs (Rasis)will always be at the locations(houses)as
slio*n in the form. If the rising sign or the Ascendantis
Aries, the housecontaining the sign Aries will become
the Ascendantand also the firsthouse' Thenin clockwise
direction, we will have the subsequentelevenhouses'If
the Ascendantfalls, say,in the sign of Sagittarius,the
house containing this sign Sagittariuswill becomethe
Ascendantand the first house and subsequenthouses
will be counted in the clockwisemanner further.
In form II that is the one followed in North India,
the housemarked I (first)will always be the Ascendant
whateverbe the rising sign.For example,the rising sign
is Libra (No. 7) or in other words the Ascendantfalls in
the sign Libra, we will put the Ascendant in the first
house marking it as 7. Thereafter we move in anticlockwisedireclion and the secondhousewill be in the

Another differenceis that in the form used in South

India, the number of the sign is not written in the chart,
and one has to rememberthe placesreservedfor Aries
and other signs which would always remain the same.
In the form used in North India we show the Ascendant
by putting the number of the rising sign in thefirst house
and the eleven signs subsequentto the rising sign in
other elevenhouses.This will be better understood by
the following birth chart.

Benefic and Malefic Planets

The Sun,Mars, Saturn,Rahu and Ketu are natural
malefics.Jupiter and Venusare natural benefics.The
Moon is a benefic when strong and a malefic when
weak. On'the Amavasya day the Moon losesall her
lust re o n a c c o u n t o f n e a rn e ssto th e S un and is
renderedabsolutelyweak.Thenbeginsthe bright half
of the lunar month and Moon starts moving away
from the Sun. When she is 72 degreesaway, she is
supposedto be in some strength.When the Moon is
L80 d e g r e e sa w a y fro m th e S u n sh e a ttains full
strength.Thus the Moon is a beneficwhen more than
72 degreesaway frorn the Sun and a malefic when
within 72 degreesof the Sun. Mercury is a benefic
when aloneor is associatedwith benefics.He becomes
a malefic, when conjoinedwith malefics.
Aspectsof the Planets
A planet exertshis influenceon the housein which
he is posited.In addition he exertshis influence(benefic
Hora Shatak

or malefic) on the house or planet he aspects.The Sun,

the Moon, Mercury and Venushave full aspectson the
houseseventhfrom them. Mars,in addition to his aspect
on the 7th house, also'aspectsthe 4th and 8th houses
from himself. Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu in addition to the
their 7th houseaspect,alsoaspectthe 5th and 9th houses
from themselves.Saturn in addition to his 7th houseaspect,
alsoaspectsthe 3rd and 10th housesfrom himself.
In the examplehoroscopegivenby us itwill be seen
that Mercury as lord of the 3rd houseposite*in the 5th
house aspectsthe 11th house.The Sun who is lord of
the 2nd houseis positedin the 5th aspectsthe 11thhouse.
Mars who is in the 2nd aslord of the 5th and 10thhouses
aspectsthe 5th, 8th and 9th houses.The Moon as lord
of the Ascendantaspectsthe Ascendant.Jupiter in the
11th as lord of the 6th and 9th aspectsthe 3rd,5th and

Rahuaspectsthe 10th,12thand 2nd houses.Ketu aspects
the 4th, 6th and 8th houses.The Moon aspectsSaturn
and Saturn aspectsthe Moon.
Male and Female Plan-ets
The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are male planets. The
Moon, Venusand Rahu arefemalesand Mercury,Saturn
and Ketu are consideredeunuchs.

The figures1.,2,3,4within bracketsadjacentto the

The following method is adopted for calculatingthe
balanceof major period at birth. Supposethe longitude
of tlre Moon at birth is 3-13'-12'(that is Cancer13"-12').
Canc e r i s c o m p o se d o f o n e q u a rte r o r 3"- 20' of
Punarvasu,four quarters(13'-20')of Pushyamiand four
quarters of Aslesha.As the longitude of the Moon is
Cancer 1.3o-1,2',
it has passed the 4th quarter of
Punarvasuin this sign and is in Pushyami.To find out
how much the Moon has moved in Pushyami,we will
deduct 3"-20' of Punarvasufrom the Moon's 13". 12'.
Thus the balance remains 9".32'. The extent of the
'1 .3 " -2 0 '.
whole o f P u s h y a mi i s
T h e l or d of this
constellationis Saturn, whose total major period is

9"-32'will be equalto L4 years,6months and 22days
this indicatesthat 1.4years,6months and22 days of

There is no doubt about the importance and efficacy

of the above rule laid down in SarvarthaChintamani
for consideration of all astrologicalproblems; but we
find it necessaryto add that when we give consideration
to a particula4problem of subjec! it is not sufficient to
confine our analysis only to the house concernedbut
extend it to the examina\ionof other concernedhouses
also. For example,if we have to considerany problem
about speech,we should not restrict our examination
to the secondhouseonly; but should pay due attention
to the disposition of the fifth house also.Similarly all
problems about gain and loss of money shouli be
examined with reference to both the second and
ele v e n t h h o u s e s . Fo r p ro b l e ms re g a rd i ng issues
(ch ild re n ) t h e f i f t h a n d n i n th h o u se s should be
simultaneously examined. The following birth chart

If any two amongstRahu,Saturn and the Sun or all
of the threeexert their influenceby aspector conjunction
on any house,the native will definitely get separated
from the things or person representedby that house.
Thus if Saturn, Rahu and the Sun or Saturn and Rahu
or the Sun and Saturn or the Sun and Rahu, cast their
inlluence on the 10th house,its lord and signifiqatorby
aspect or conjunction, the native is deprived of his
kingdom (if he is a king), his position, title, profession,
honour and the name and fame. How much time such
eventstake to manifest,dependson the strengthof these
malefic planets.The sameshould aPPlyto other houses.
If the 7th house, its lord and its significator (Venus or
Jupiter) becomethe victim of such malefic influences,
the husband and wife get separated.If the 2nd house
falls under such evil influences,the native is deprived
of his wealth and assets.If the 3rd house is so affected,
the native getsseparatedfrom his brothers and sisters'
Suchinfluenceon the 4th houseforcesthe native to leave

Similarly if ]upiter be in the 5th house,in his own

sign and be aspectedby or associatedwith a benefic,
the Yoga caused by such a disposition will bless the
native with many children.It may also be noted that in
the theory'Karako BhavaNashaya'
thesecircumstances
(a planetin the houseof which he is Karakadestroyesthe
significationsof that house) cannot significantly be
accepted.
When the Karaka of a house is in that house in his
own sign and hasbeneficinfluence on him, he can never
harm the signification of that house (his own house).It
should alsobe borne in mind that while examining for
children the 9th house must additionally be given due

If any natural malefic (Mars, Saturn, the Sun, the
waning Moot and Mercury associatedwith a malefic)
is posiied in the 7th from his own house (thus aspects
hii own house),the life of petsolnrepresentedby that
Hora Shatak

house will be destroyed. For exampie if the Sun be

posited in 5th housein the signAquarius (Kumbha),he
then by aspecting the 11th house (his own house) will
destroythe elder brothers.Thereis a widely recognised
principle of Hindu Astrology viz., "fi * t+rq,wftgd Ed
il ilFt ilFnk gfu:'(This meansthat any house which has
its lord posited in it or is aspectedby its lord, prospers)
and we have no intention of ignoring it; but we have
found in practical experiencethat this rule does not
apply to the life prospectsof the personrepresentedby
the concernedhouse.While the aspectof the Sun on the
11th house in the circumstancesdescribedabove, will
result in financial gains to the native, will give him
successin his undertaking, will enablehim to acquire
conveyances,but the life of the elder brother represented
by that housewill be harmed.In other words the native
will lose his elder brother.

If a naturat benefit be in his own sign in association
with Ketu or Rahu, the house concerned should be
consideredextremely skong. For example.Kefu with
)upiter in the sign Sagittarius in the sixth house will be
indicative of a very strong enemy. In this connection
the following birth chart No. 2 of Pt. ]awaharlal Nehru
may'be seen.Nehru ji had to fight with a very strong
enemy, viz., the United Kingdom for achieving
independencefor his country.
The logic behind this theory is that Ketu being a
shadowy planet (a magnetic point) does not possess
94
any physical body of his own and gives exclusively

the results of the sign and the house in which it is
posited.

Acc o r d i n g t o a cce p te d p ri n ci p l e s of Hindu
Astrology, the Sun and the Moon are always in direct
motion (that is, they never move backwards)and Rahu
and Ketu are aiways retrograde (that is, they always
move backwards).However, the five planets,namely,
Mars, Mercury, jupiter, Venus and Saturn have both
direct and seeminglyretrogrademotion. But the actual
gs
HoraShatak
fact is that thesefive planetsare always in direct motion;

but becauseof their relative movement with respectto
earth they sometimeslook like moving backward.This
can be explained by the exampleof two trains moving
in the same direction on parallel rails. If the speed of
one is less than the other, then to the passengersof the
fastertrain the slower train would appearto be moving
in the reversedirection.

In this relation it must always be kept in mind that

in Astrology what we see is more important and
acceptablethan the factual position and the effects of
the planetsshould be judged accordinglyby using logic
and symbology.For example,accordingto scientiststhe
Sun is a star like other stars in the sky and does not
rotate like the Earth and other planets.Yet we on the
earth see the Sun rising in the East and setting in the
West. Therefore in Astrology we acceptthe Sun as a
planet rotating like other planets.

undoubtedly be blessedwith many sons(children).The
logic behind such a result is that asJupiter is lord of the
5th house for the Scorpio Ascendant and also a
Hora Shatak

significator (Karaka) for children, his strength becomes

similar to that when in exaltation.He thus becomesfully
capable to give many children to the native. He also

If Scorpio be the Ascendant and Jupiter being in

retrograde motiory be posited in the second house in
the sign Sagittarius, he will be treated as in debilitation
in accordancewith the rule given in the previous sloka
as he will be very near to Capricorn, his sign of
debilitation.Butsince, Jupiteris retrogradehis strength
will almost be similar to that when in exaltation.
38
In short the sensewhich slokas L3 and 14 mean to

convey is that the nearnessof retrogradeJupiter to his
sign of exaltation (Cancer)will mean lack of children
and here his nearnessto his sign of debilitation
(Capricorn)will mean abundanceof children.
Comments-The author has confined his attention
on Jupiter only becauseas mentioned by him earlier,
Jupiter is not only the lord of the Sth (the house of
children); but also significator of children (Santana

If Cancer be the Ascendant with Mars in the 3rd,

6th, the 10th house which is in the sign of Mars will
be aspectedby Jupiter, The 10th house will also be
aspectedby beneficsMercury and Venus (this Yoga
is presentin the horoscopeof Pt. JawaharLal Nehru)'
Under these influences Nehruji continued as the
Prime Minister of India fot 17long yearsand enjoyed
name, fame, honours and vast administrative and
political power. As Mars TPects his own sign Aries
in the 10th house,the 5th lioise with the sign Scorpio
(the other sign of Mars) is alsostrengthenedby reflex
action. This made Nehru a great intellectual and
diplomat.
The point made out is that although the 5th
house has no benefic inJluenceon it, but has become
strong becauseit is the other sign of Mars, the first
sign Aries as already explained being strengthened
Uy tne aspect of its own lord Mars and the three
benefics.

If Aquarius be the Ascendant,Mars be in the 10th

(in his own sign Scorpio) and Saturn be in the 8th,
aspectingMars, the younger brother of the native will
have short life. Mars fully representsyounger brother
as he is not only lord of the 3rd; but also Karaka for
younger brother.Being in the 10th in his own sign Mars
becomesstrong enough to give a younger brother but
on account of being 8th to the 3rd (his own sign) and
malefic aspect of Saturn on him, younger brother gets
only a short life span.
This rule requirescarefulapplication and should be
app lie d t o t h e r e l ati ve S i n th e i r i n fa n cy alone,
particularly when they do not have a good horoscope
of their own from the longevity point of view.
Supposethe Ascendantis Aries and Jupiter as lord
of the 9th is posited in the 4th (8th to 9th) in his sign of
exaltation and is aspectedby Saturn from the 2nd; all
the requirementsof Shri Bhasin'srule have been met,
so the result should be short life of the father.But if the
father's horoscopeshows long life for him, I am sure,
the dispositionof planetsin his son'shoroscope,cannot
shorten his life.

(In this connection the view of the author of
'fatakadesa Marga' is as follows : If all the malefics
surround a Bhava on both sides,occupy the 4th and
8th housesreckonedfrom the same,the annihilation of
the Bhavawill be the result.But if, the beneficstake the
place of the malefics, the prosperity of the Bhava is

Adhiyoga has been acclaimedas a very beneficial
Yogaby almost all authoritative astrologicalworks, for
affluence, good health and longevity. The Chandraadhiyoga is formed when benefics(Mercury,Jupiter and
Venus) are posited in the 6th,7th and the 8th houses
with referenceto the Moon. (There is an Adhiyoga
known as Lagna-adhiyogafor the formation of which
the beneficshaveto be insimilar positionswithreference
to the Lagna).The result of Adhiyoga hasbeendescribed
as under"The personwill be polite and trustworthy, will have
an enjoyable and huppy life, full of luxuries and
affluence,will inflict defeats on his enemies,will be
healthy and will live long."
In this Yoga the Lagna or the Moon is not actually
surrounded by the benefics on both sides but they
(Moon and Lagna) receivebenefic influence on both
sides(i.e.on the 2nd and L2th housesto them),because
of the aspectsof beneficsfrom their position in the 6th
Hora Shatak
43
and 8th houses.This principle can be advantageously

applied for the judgement of any of the house in the
horoscope.If there are beneficsin the 6th and the 8th
housesfrom a Bhava (house)they will be aspectingthe
12th and 2nd houseswith referenceto that housewhich
will be tantamount to their being present there-and
by such disposition the significationsof the house will
get boosted.If, however, there are malefics in the 6th
and 8th from the Moon, the Lagna or any other house,
the resultswill be quite opposite.
Comments-The presenceof Jupiter in the 6th or
8th with referenceto the Moon, Lagna or any other
house will servethe purpose of this principle. Though
suchdispositionwill not go under the term'Adhiyoga',
the houses2nd and 12th to the Moon, Lagta or any other
house with referenceto which Jupiter is in 6th or 8th,
will receive his benign aspect (the 2nd and L2th will
receivethe 9th and 7th housesaspector the 5th and 7th
houseaspectof Jupiter,when he is in the 6th or 8th house
respectively.
Here I cannot help raising one very important point.
It has been mentioned in almost all classicalworks of
Hindu Astrology that if there are no planets in the 2nd
and 12th from the Moon, a very inauspiciousYogaknown
as'Kemadruma (fuql is formed. The result of this Yoga
has been given by'JatakadesaMarga' as under"The man born in Kemadruna Yogawill always be
intent on other people'swives, desirousof other's food,
engaged in doing wicked and unrighteous deeds,
plunged in debts and indulging in sensualpleasures."
There will be no Kemadruma Yoga if there is any
planet in Kendra from the Moon or if the Moon is in
Kendra from Lagna.My view is that thereshould be no
44
Basicconceptsof prediclive
astrology
Kemadruma Yoga also when there is ChandraAdhiyoga. Otherwise how qan the extraordinary good
resultsascribedto this Yogabe realised?
We would like to mention one more point to the
principle given under sloka 24. The beneficresults of
the aspectsof beneficsin the 6th and 8th with reference
to the Lagna, Moon or any other house will materialise
only when the L2th and 2nd houses from them are
vacant or occupiedby somebeneficplanet only.
Even the Lagna-Adhiyoga and Chandra-Adhiyoga
are"said to be vitiated if any of the planets in the 6th,
7th or 8th are aspectedby or associatedwith any
malefic.

The author, therefore, strongly advises that while
assessingthe strength or weaknessand auspiciousness
or inauspiciousnessof a house or planet, the aspects
falling on the 2nd and L2th house to them should be
kept in view as such aspectshave the sameimpact on
the concernedhouse or the planet as if the aspecting
planetsare presentin thosehouses(2nd and 12th).We
have chosenthe name of theseaspectsss 'qlQffi EF'
(ParshwagaminiAspect).
Comments-The author hasclaimed that the theory
'qnffi
of
Ek' is his discovery and has never before
been describedin any of the authoritative ancient or
modern work on Hindu Astrology (or even Western
Astrology). We alsodo not rememberto have read about
this anywhere.As this is a very important conceptand
discovery having far reachirrgeffectsin the assessment
of a horoscope,the author deservesfull credit and
appreciationfor it.

If Aquarius be the Ascendant with Jupiter in the

1Lth, Saturn in the 8th and Mars in the 6th and we
may be examining the 11th house for the longevity of
the elder brother, we will find that although there is
no evil aspect on the Xlth house directly, there is
aspectof Saturn on the 10th (12th to 11th)and of Mars
on the 12th (2rrd to 11th). Thus the 11th house would
be hemmed in between malevolent influences of
Saturn and Mars as a consequenceof which the L1th
house,its lord and Karaka ]upiter all the threefactors
will be rendered weak; thus adversely affecting the
longevity of the elder brother and also other
significations of the L1th house. The indirect
influences as in the above example are of great
importance for the proper analysisof any house in a
a horoscope.

A planet is renderedweak when he is placed in an

enemy sign. Predictions about the results of a planet
are alwaysbasedon his strength.Thus to determinethe
strengthof a planet we should always take into account
whether he is in conjunctionwith or aspectedby a planet
inimical to him or not. As many enemy planets he is
conjoinedwith, as much weak he is rendered.

The Moon is consideredweak if she is very near
to the Sun. From the 6th Tithi before Amavasya (in
Krishna Paksha)up to the 6th Tithi in Shukla Paksha
after Amavasya, the Moon is treated as weak and
lacks PakshaBala.Therefore,even if the Moon be in
a Kendra to Lagna in his sign of exaltationbut be weak
in PakshaBaIa,she will be devoid of strength.Thus
inspite of occupying an auspicioushouseor being in
his own sign or sign of exaltationthe Moon would be
weak if she is not strong in Paksha Bala. In other
words Paksha Bala is of supreme importance than
Rasi Bala or Bhava Bala for the Moon. For example,
if in any nativity the Sun be in the 10th in his sign of
exaltation (Aries) and the Moon also be in her sign of
exaltation (Vrishabha)in the 1Lth, the Moon inspite
o f b e i n g i n a n a u s p i c i o u sh o u s e i n h e r s i g n o f
exaltation wouid be weak (in Paksha Bala) because
of her nearnessto the Sun. Therefore,such a Moon
will.not be good for the mother of whom the Moon is

If Mercury with Venusbe posited in the 7th house
in his friendly sign Libra in a male nativity and be
also conjoined with or aspected by the Sun and
Saturn, the native will get separatedfrom his wife
within a year of his marriage. This is due to the
Hora Shatak
49
presence of Mercury in the 7th who produces his

results in the early part of any aspectof life - here it
is married life. The reason for separation is the
separative influence caused by the Sun and Saturn

us it appears that Jupiter and the Sun in all the three
horoscopesmoulded the qualities of the natives.It will
be seenin the horoscopeof MahatrnaGandhi that ]upiter
aspectsthe Lagna and Mercury the lord of the 9th.
In the horoscope of Swami Vivekananda the
important roles are played by the Sun in the Lagna,
Jupiter in the 10th and the Moon and Saturn in the
9th. But for Jupiter in the LOth,he would not have
been able to reach the dizzy heights of fame and
spirituality which he achieved in his short span of
life. The Moon and Saturn in the 9th becamethe cause
of his renunciation of the worldly comforts.
In the horoscopeof Sri RamakrishnaParamahansa
it is Jupiter, the Satvik planet and real significator of
universal Dharma and spirituality, who played the
most significant role. It is evident in the chart that
Jupiter aspectsthe 9th (houseof Dharma) and Lagna,
lord of the 9th Mercury and the Atmakaraka Sun. Ketu
in the 4th also lent its full support to religious and
ascetic inclinations of this great saint as the
significator of deep meditation.
In the chart of Mahatma Gandhi, the Sun is in the
L2th house powerfully aspected by ]upiter who,
though a natural benefic,is lord of the 3rd and 6th.
Jupiter is in the 10th from the Moon aspectedby
Saturn. This gives considerablespirituality. fupiter
here may be taken in the 8th house in the bhava chart.
The soul of Gandhiji, with all its egoism,self-love
and deep seateddesiresis vested in the Sun. As he is
in the 1.2th,he gives him spirituality. Mercury in the
Ascendant produces keennessof mind. The 10th is
Karmasthana.Rahu's location there is indicative of

Venus is the planet who is fond of luxuries,
comforts and sensual pleasures.The 12th house in
a horoscopeshould also be judged for bed comforts
an d s en s u a l p l e a s u re s a cco rd i n g to l e ar neds in
Astrology. The question of renunciation, sensual
pleasuresand conjugal relationship (errtffig....)
should be examinedfrom the 12th house.'Vyaya' (<a)
is also anothername for'Bhoga' (trlT)'Therefore'when
Venus,in any nativity, is in the 12th house, the native
enjoys luxuries, comforts and sensual pleasures.
Th is is q u i t e a l o gi ca l co n cl u si o n a s when two
Hora Shatak
55
measures with similar significations join together,

t hey b e s t o w o n t h e n a ti ve i n a b u n d a nce the
objects they signify. For example, if the lord of the
Llth house conjoins with the lord of the 2nd, it
becomes a powerful Dhana Yoga (wealth giving
combination) as both the lords of the 2nd and 11th
are significators of gains of wealth ( lord of the 2nd is
accordinglycalled Dhanadhipati and lord of the 1Lth
is known as Labhadhipati). On the basis of this
principle, we are of the view that when Venus and
the lord of the 2nd conjoin in the 12th house, there
will be abundance of luxuries, comforts and
plea s u re s .A s t h e s e ca n n o t b e o b ta i n e d without
money, the Yoga provides plentiful money for such
enjoyments.This will be further discussedin the next
sloka.

From the rules enunciatedby us in the previous
sloka, it becomesquite clear that if Venus be in the
L2th house and lord of the 12th be also there, Venus
will become a wealth giving planet (errcr+-o).
The
reason for this is that Venus, the significator of
luxuries in such circumstances,will not only have
closerelationship with the houseof luxuries, comforts
and pleasuresbut also with its lord. Our view that
the placementof Venus in the 12th is very beneficial
and gives rise to Dhana yoga is supported by the
56
following sloka in'Bhavartha Ratnakara'-

This means that for one born in Mesha
(Aries Ascedant),if lord of the 2nd is in the 12th, he
!s auspicious.For those born in other Lagnas the
2nd lord does not becomegood if he is placed in the
1.2th.
Our interpretation of this is that it is only Venus
and no other planet that is capableof bestowing good
in the 12th house. In this connection the following

This meansthat VenuscausesYoga if he is placed
either in the 12th or in the 2nd house,in other places
he does not produce any Yoga.
This sloka also strengthens our view that Venus
in the 12th is very ausPicious.Not only in the 1'2th,
but the presenceof Venus in the 6th house also is
equally good, as from the 6th Venuswould aspectthe
12th and will give in excessthe significationsluxuries,
comfortsand sensualpleasuresof the L2th house'The
other point of view is that such a Venuswould be in
the L2th house from the house of life partner that is

This view is supported by'Bhavartha Ratnakara'Sms N{qFi fu rqfr gq{t

If the Ascendantbe Aquarius or Scorpiooccupied
by Venusand Jupiter be in the 2nd, the native becomes
the owner of severallakhs (that is, very wealthy). The
reasonis that Jupiter as lord and Karaka for the house
of wealth will be in his own houseand Venuswill be
in 12th to the 2nd house, its lord and Karaka. Thus
all the three factors of the 2nd house will be boosted
from Venus being in 12th to them, resulting into
growth of wealth

If the Ascendentbe Leo or Scorpiowith Jupiter in
the 5th and Venus in the 4th, such a Yoga will bless
the native with many sons (children). The reason is
obvious. For both the Ascendants,the 5th house,its
lord and Karaka ]upiter will have Venus in the 12th
house to them, and their good effects will get great
impetus.
In the above two slokasan attempt has been made
to demonstrate how Venus in the 12th !o the lord and

applicable to other houses also. If Venus be in 12th
from the houses or planets indicating attainment of
high government position or a high political status,
he would further advancethe good effectsconcerning
them. We will clarify this by an illustration but before
doing so it will be important to note that the subject
of government administration is not only connected
with the 10th house but also with the Ascendant,the
strength of the Sun and the 7th house which is 10th
to LOth.Similarly the 2nd houseis also concernedwith

To have full impact of Shri Bhasin's analysis I will

give what he has actually written.
The Sun, lord of the 9th who is also a Rajya giving
planet seemsto say, "I am quite competent to give
kindgom; but unfortunately I have been placedin 12th
house as a result of which instead of giving kingdom I
will, for a long time, create conditions for rebellion
against the administrators of the kingdom. But do not
get disheartened. I have still been left with some
specialitiesof mine. The first specialityis that although
I am in the 12th I am posited in the sign of my friend
Mars. The second speciality is that my bosom friend
Moon with her full strength on account of being full
Moon and inher sign of exaltationis giving me support
by his powerful benefic aspect on me. My third
speciality is that I aan hemmed in between two
benefics-Mercury (in the 2nd to me) and Venus(in the
12th to me). My fourth specialityis that my very dear
friend ]upiter who is called Rajya-Kripa-karakaand is
also lord of Ascendant,by being posited in my sign and
being in the 10th Kendra position from me is giving me
strength I need.Jupiter being lord of the sign occupied
by Ketu has become more powerful as lord of the
Ascendant.And my fifth specialityis that Venusin his
own sign is sitting in the house twelfth to me. I have,
therefore, acquired full confidence that I can give
kingdom to the native of the horoscope.In addition, the
10th houseof my native hasgained strengthon account
of it being occupied by Rahu in his own sign. Further
the L0th house is hemmed in between two benefics
]upiter and Venus. The lord of the 10th Mercury has
becomepowerful as he is lord of the sign occupied by
Rahu . S a t u r n , lo rd o f th e 2 n d , i s aspected by
the 10th lord Mercury who also possessesdirectional

strength. The aspect of Mars on Saturn is no doubt

harmlul". Concluding this analysis Shri Bhasin
says that although he has mentioned many
Rajayogasin the horoscope,he would lay specialemPhasis
ottV"t.tt who is occupying the houseL2th to the Sun'
Comments-The reasonsof successof Dr' Rajendra
prasad in his political tife by becoming President can
be elaborated more than those mentioned by the
author.
From the disposition of planets we can see a file
full of struggleJ, agonies and miseries'.To me the
ultimate successwas due to (1) Jupiter's position in
9th in a friendly sign from where he aspectsthe Lagna
(of which he isthelord) and the presenceof Ir'Iercury
iord of the 10th and Mars lord of the Sth in the Lagna'
(2) Gajakesari Yoga caused by lugiter being in
Keridra to the Moon. The result of this Yoga has been
describedas followsMany relations, polite and generous,builder of
villages and towns, magistrate over them; will have
a lasling reputation even long after death'"
(a) najayogacausedby being together.ofMars lord
of a'frikoni u"a Mercury lord of Kendra, in the Lagna'
(4) Exchange ofhousesbetween Saturn lord of the
2nd and Merclry lord of the 10th and 7th'
(5) The pecuiiarity of the horoscope lies in the
p o * " t f u l R a j a y o g a c a u s e d- i n L a g n a b y ! h "
inrrolvement Mars (tord of the Sth), Jupiter (lord of
the Lagna) and Mercury (lord of the 10th)'
by Venus being
lOl itre Shuba-vasi Yoga caused
in tire L2th to the Sun. ThJresult has been described
as under "The native will be hupPy,ProsPerous,liberaland
favourite of ruling classes".
62
(7) There is a powerful Chandra Adhiyoga present

in the horoscopeon account of Venus and Mercury
being in the 6th and 8th housesfrom the Moon. This
is a partial and defectiveAdhiyoga as Mercury is with
Mars. The definition of Adhiyoga says"lf beneficplanetsare situated in the 6th, 7th and
8th from the Moon, the combination is named as
Adhi-Yoga". The results of the Adhi yoga have been
describedas under "The person becomespolite and trustworthy, has
an enjoyableand huppy life, surrounded by luxuries
and affluence, defeats his enemies, is healthy and
enjoys a long liie" .
Someof the scholarsopine "If there is one planet
in full strength in any one of these signs,that is, the
6th,7th or 8th from the.Moon,the personwill become
a leader.If there are t*o he will be a minister and if
there are three,he will occupya more eminentstation
in life". This infi:rence is confirmed by the next
examplehoroscopeNo. 9.

Here the Sun is lord of the 2nd house which, as

we have already mentioned earlier, also signifies
'administration' (rrw rrml). Thus, as the Sun is strong
in this chart, the native obtained a high position in
Government administration. The Sun is already
strong being in a friendly sign in a Trikona house.
His strength and auspiciousnesshave increasedon
account of being hemmed in between Venus and
Mercury in the 12th and Jupiter in the 2nd to him.
Thus the Sun becomes a powerful significator for
giving to the native a very high position in the
administration of Government.For this purpose the

L0th house has also to be consideredThis house has

becomevery strong as it is receivingthe aspectsof its

from Lagna. As a result the other sign of Saturn,
namely Capricorn,is also strengthened.Thus the 7th

If Leo or Virgo be the Ascendantand Saturnaspects

the Ascendantas well aslord of the Ascendant,namely
the Sun or Mercury, the subject suffers from a long
lasting disease.The reasonfor suchan effectis obvious.
Saturn, in Astrology has been named as Rogakaraka
(one who causesdiseases).Therefore,Saturn's aspect
on both the Ascendant and its lord will cause some
disease.When Saturnbe the lord of the houseof disease,
namely the 6th (which is the case in Leo and Virgo
nativities), there can be no doubt at all about Saturn's
role in causingdiseases.One more thing to be noted in
this connectionis that if Rahu or Ketu be posited in the
6th, Saturn will representtheseshadowy planets also.
In such circumstancesit should not be surprising if

Saturn in this chart possesses all the
disqualifications (or qualifications) described
above. He harms the significationsof the 9th house
which he occupies,particularly when lord of the
natural 9th sign (sagittarius)is in debilitation in the

As the Lagna is the first house in a horoscope,
accordingto principles of symbology,considerations
about all those things that come first in the life of a
person, should be made from the Lagna or the
Ascendant.In the parts of the body of a person the
first place goes to the head (that is, head is the first
part of the body). Therefore,all about the head should
be ascertainedfrom the Lagna. Similarly a person's
complexionbecomesknown as soon as he is born and
whether he is Brahmin or Kshatriya etc., that is his
caste is assumed soon after his birth. These things
should, therefore,also be consideredfrom the Lgana.
Th ere a r e m a n y o th e r si mi l a r th i n g s like the
environment and circumstancesduring childhood,
body, height, birth place etc.,are also related to the
Lagna (in other words the disposition of Lagna gives
indications about such matters).

The lord of Lagna is the Sun who is also a kind of

who is also significator of the mother aspectsthe 4th

the Sun and of the Moon the significator of mother,
'^':th the 4th house,establishesthe fact that the native
was born in his maternal grandfather's housecalled
'Mayaka' (qq+r)of the mother.
As the Lagna is concernedwith all matters relative
to the time of birth, the financial position of the family
of the native at the time of his birth can also be
ascertainedfrom the disposition of the Lagna. This
view is supported by'Sarvartha Chintamani' which
qTeTqcI' that is, if the Lagna
says- 'f,'+ {q 9frq-aEfug{fr
is associatedwith or aspectedby benefics,childhood
is full of happinessand comforts. It may be pointed
out here that considerationsabout the circumstances
of the native during childhood and of his education
during that period are done from the 2nd house and
its lord, about conditions during his youth from the
3rd house and its lord and about his old agefrom the

When the planets are inmutual Kendras they exert
influenceson each other.It is for this reasonthat the
Lagna acquiresmore strengthwhen there are benefics
in Kendras from it. In the astrological works
wheneverthe subjectof longevity has beendiscussed
the credit of long life bas been given to the enough
strength of the Lagna and its lord. It is quite logical
to attribute good longevity to the strength of Lagna.
It has been said in this context :

This means that it is good for the Lgana to be
Vargottamaand to have benfic planets in the Kendras
from it. Similarly it is good to have'KarakakhyaYoga'
in one'shoroscope.This yogais causedwhen the planets
in their own signs or in their signs of exaltationare in
Kendrasto eachother.It is not necessaryfor the planets
to be in Kendra from the Lagna.

If the planets in their own signs, exaltation signs

they become Karakas, particularly to one who is in

The Kendra position of planets is recognisedas
square aspect in Western system of Astrology also,
but this aspect is always considered adverse there;
gradually the Western astrologersare acceptingthe
view that the squareaspectis not always detrimental.
The good or bad bffectsof such Kendra position are
benefics or malefics according to planets involved.

This means,if the Moon be in the 10th housefrom
the Sun and be also associatedwith malefics, the
native's mother will be short lived. The reason is
obvious. When the Moon is in Kendra to the Sun, she
will suffer from the malefic effect of the Sun and the
result will be adverseparticularly when the Moon is
associatedwith malefics.

Our purpose in drawing attention of the readers

to this sloka is that sincethe fact of being a bastard is
concerned with the birth, such matters should be
examined from the Lagna.
It is for this reasonthat the learnedsin Astrology
h a v e a d v i s e d t h a t t h e s o u r c e so f l i v e l i h o o d o r
professionof a personshould be determinedfrom the
10th housewhich is most powerful as reckonedfrom
the Lagna, Chandra Lagna or Surya Lagna. As an
extention to this a particular house is to be adjudged
from the Lagna, Chandra Lagna or Surya Lagna, the
outcome,should be predictedfrom the strongestout
of the three Lagnas or from the majority of the three
Lagnas.
Comments-Generally the ancient astrological
works, which are recognisedas authoritative and on
which the whole systemof Hindu Astrolol;y is based,
have recommendedexaminationof a horo;copefrom
the Lagnaand Chandra Lagna.They have alsoadded
that the predictions would be more accut'ateif they
'are

Shri B h a s i n h a s sta te d th a t a h o u se i s to be
evaluatedwith referenceto all the three Lagnas.The
outcome should be predicted from the strongest of
the three Lagnas or from the majority of the three
Lagnas. This is becausethe dispositions of planets
would be d i f f e r e n t fro m th e th re e L a g nas. For
example,while analysing a horoscopefrom the Lagna
we find that lord of the Lagna is in the Sth house, a
very good position for him. But if the Moon is in the
6th house, lord of Lagna may be in the 12th to the
Moon. Actually what we shouid do is that we should
examine all matters concerning the horoscopewith
referenceto all the three Lagnas, and then decide by
analysing all the results.For example,if longevity is
poor f rom t h e L a g na , i t i s D e e rg h a A yu ( good
longevity) from Chandra Lagna and fairly good from
Surya Lagna we should conclude that the native
will have long life. If longevity is very good from
the Lagna, hnd poor from both the Chandra and
Surya Lagnas, we should declare that it would be
about medium. The Lagna is of first importance
becauseit is fixed for the exact time of birth. The
Chandra L a g n a o c cu p i e s th e se co n d p o sition of
importance as the Moon remains in a sign for about
21/zdays.The Surya Lagna should be given the third
place of importance as the Sun remains in a sign for
about a month. As the duration of a Lagna is about
two to two and a half hours and all persons born
during this period will have the same Lagna. The
number of persons born with the sarne Chandra
Lagnh will be around 24 times more and the number
of personswith the sameSurya Lagna will be around
700 times more.
Thus we can understand that the birth Lagna is of
prime importance amongst the three Lagnas.

the 8th, but powerfully aspectsthe 5th his own house
and himself is aspectedby Ketu. The 5th house is
between two malefic influences. The second to it is
occupied by Mars and Rahu and 12th to it is aspected
by Ketu. TheKaraka of theSthhouseand children,Jupiter
is in his own sign and is retrogradewith no malefic
influence on it. Jupiter is, therefore,quite strong.Thus
taking all thefactsinto accountitcan be saidthat thenative
may haveone or two children.

From the Chandra Lagna the 5th house falls in

Scorpiothe lord of which is Mars, who is associatedwith
malefic Rahu.The 5th houseis aspectedby Saturn and
Rahu.Thus the 5th houseand its lord areboth incapable
of giving any child. As for ]upiter, though he is in his
own sign and is regrograde, he is in the 6th from
Chandra Lagna. Thus there is little possibility of the
native having any child. If Jupiter helps for any child to
be born, the malefic influenceswhich are many, would
not let them survive.

From Surya Lagna the fifth housefalls in Leo its lord

Sun is in the Ist house in his sign of exaltation with
Mercury and Venus. Mercury is baleful lord of the
3rd and 6th from the Sun. Therefore,his association
harms the Sun. Associationof Venus is helpful. The
Sun is alsoaspectedby Jupiter the Karaka for chidren
and the 5th house.The 5th houseis hemmedbetween
malefic influences.In the 12th is the weak Moon. The
12th is also aspectedby Saturn and Rahu and 2nd is
occupied by Ketu and aspectedby Mars and Rahu.
To sum up the 5th house has one good influence and
overwhelming evil influences.The 5th lord is not very
badly wounded becauseof the aspectof Jupiter.Only
the Karaka Jupiter remains unscathed. Taking all
thesethings into account,we can say that there may
be one or two children but they may not survive. If
they survive it will through grace of God provided
by the aspectof Jupiter to the 5th house and the 5th
lord.
Actually the native had three sons of them two
are alive. Our main purpose of examining the above
horoscopewas to prove our point that outcome will
not always be the samewhen any house is examined
with referenceto the three Lagnas.The net outcome
has to be worked out by a proper evaluation of the
resultsobtainedfrom the examinationwith reference
to all the three Lagnas.

This is so becausethe third house,its lord and Mars

becomesfully confirmed if Mercury also participates
in it, as he is lord of the sign Gernini which is symbolic

Comments-lt is very painful for me to write

anything for the principle evolved above and proved
with the help of a horoscopeof a living person. The
author has given two Yogas-the first for the birth of
elder of the twins and the secondfor the younger one.
Now twins are generallyborn within a few minutes of
the birth of eachother.Sothe horoscopeof both of them
would be generatlyidentical.So both the Yogasshould
be present in the two identical horoscoPes.In the
horoscopegiven above we can find only the following
ingredientsof the secondYoga(a) The lord of Lagna is Mars. So we may assume
that the Lagna is influencedby Mars.
(b) The lord of ChandraLagna the Sun is in the 3rd
along with the lord of 3rd Mercury. So we can assume
that the lord of Chandra Lagna has been influenced by
the lord of 3rd.
(c) The lord of Surya l.agna is Mercury and is in the
3rd. Therefore,we can assumethat the SuryaLagna has
been influenced by the lord of the 3rd.
The following ingredients of the secondYogaare not
there.
(a) Mars is not influencing the Chandra Lagna and
its lord.
(b) The Surya Lagna and its lord are also not
influenced by Mars.
(c) The Lagna is not in-fluencedby the lord of 3rd.
Another point that arisesis ashow to distinguish the
two horoscopes.Surely the author of the rule described
in sloka48,would have neverthought thatboth the Yogas
wouid be presentin th samehoroscope
For the interest of readershere are given Yogasfor
the birth of twins as mentioned in Brihat fataka and
Saravali.
82
astrology
Brihatfataka-The Moon and Venusin even signs

with Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and the Lagna in odd
signs causethe formation of a twin embryo. The rising
sign and the Moon being in even signs aspectedby
any male planet also cause twins. Mercury, Mars,
] u p it er a n d t h e La g n a b e i n g i n e ve n signs and
possessedof strength likewise lead to a twin foetus
being conceivedin the womb. There will be a trio of
embryos conceived when Mercury in his own
Navamsa aspectsall planets (this is not possible as
Mercury can never aspectthe Sun) and the Lagna if
the Lagna and all the planets occupy Navamsas
belonging to dual signs.
Saravali- If the Sun and Jupiter be in Gemini or
Sagittarius in aspect to Mercury, birth of two male
twins be predicted. TWofemale twins will be born if
Venus, Mars and the Moon be in Piscesor Virgo in
aspectof Mercury.
Should the Lagna and Moon be in evensignsand be
aspectedby a strong planet,then there are twins in the
womb one male and onefemale.Similar resultsfollow if
the Moon and Venusarein evensignswhile JupiteaMars,
Mercuryand the Lagnabe in odd signsor commonsigns
and be strong.
The above Yogasare to be reckoned from Adhana
(conception)Lagna.The aboveYogasthemselvesrequire
explainationsas to how Mercury can aspect Venusdue
to their not much elongationfrom the Sun.

The native of this horoscopewas a victim of bone

Therefore,if Mars occupiesLagna in his sign Aries

This meansthat if the Moon be in the Lagna in his
own sign Canceraspectedby the Sun and Mars, the
native will be a hunchback (gqd . Similarly if Saturn
be in the Lagna in the sign Piscesand be aspectedby
the Sun and Mars, the native will be lame. The rule
given in the above sloka is operative in both the cases.
When the malefics aspectthe Moon in his own sign,
the fourth sign's part of the body gets affected
adversely and the curvature of the chest (causedby
Mars) is quite understandable.A man with curvature
of the chestis called a hunchback.The reasonis that
the sign occupiedby the Lagnarepresentsthe relevant
part of the Kalapurusha and when that sign and its
lord fall under malevolent influence,it gets diseased
or deformed. The same rule will apply if lord of the
Lagna may not be occupying the Ligna; but both the
Lagna and its lord be under malefic influences.

of the LLth house which is 6th to 6th. Saturn the lord
of the 2nd is in Ll.th house (6th to 6th) and is in Kendra
to Venus. Rahu also influences the 2nd house and
Saturn (by Kendra position).
Comments- The rule is quite clear that lord of

Kendra position of lord of the 6th to lord of 2nd does
not seem to be sufficient for this Purpose'However,

For Emperor Nero whose horoscope was

Hora Shatak

says-The adoption is clearly indicated by lord of the

9th (the Sun) being aspectedby Saturn and lord of
the 12th (Mars),being strongly disposed".Sothe Yoga
for becoming an adopted child is formed when lord
of the 9th is afflicted by maleficsand lord of the 12th

If Aquarius (Kumbha) be the Ascendantor Lagna
with Jupiter in the 12th conjoined with or aspected
by Rahu, the native will be devoid of wealth
and moral character.The reasonfor this is that Jupiter
is a natural significator of wealth (Dhanakaraka)
and becomesmore so for AquariusAscendantbeinglord
of the 2nd and 1Lth house.When such a Jupiteris in the
1.2thin his sign of debilitation, there is no doubt that
the native will be deprived of wealth. A debilitated
Jupiter with the depraved planet Rahu in the house of
loss, expenditure and excesses,will make the native
depraved and perverted.Sucha personwill commit the
most'sinful and immoral deeds.
In this connection it is important to note that the
12th is the house of loss and expenditure (<<). Any
planet occupying this house (except the lord of this
house)will only indicate the loss or deterioration of
90
astrology
his significations. io,

the weak Sun in the
"*u-ple,Rahu etc. will indicate
L2th associatedwith Saturn,
deterioration of bones, weakness of eye sight etc.
The Moon in the 12th house associatedwith Saturn,
Rahu etc. will indicate weakness of eyes, loss of
blood, instability of mind etc.Mars in such a position
will causeweaknessof muscles.Mercury will indicate
skin troubles.Jupiter will indicate malfunctioning of
ma rro w , V e n u s l oss o f se me n a n d S atur n will
indicate mental tension and break down of nervous
system.
Comments-The author has dealt with only one
aspect of the effects of planets that occupy the 12th
house. In fact, by being in the 12th not only all the
significationsof planets but also of the housesthey
own are affected adversely.According to "Phala
Deepika" published by "Mfs Ranjan Publications"
the results of various planets when posited in 12th
are as underPlanets

others.
Venus
The native will be rich and will have
sexual enjoyment with many women.
(This proves the point made out by Shri

12th discussedat length earlier).
Saturn
The native will be shameless,poor,
childlessand stupid and with somepart
of his body deformed.
Rahu
The native will incur lot of wasteful
expenditure and indulge in sinful

The4thhousealsosignifieslands,property,housesetc.
Saturn is also the significator of lands (KshetraKaraka*d-+.rro).Therefore, if Saturn aspects or conjoins the 4th
house,this disposition should not be taken as adverseas
regardsacquisitionof landed property.Actually this Yoga
enablesthe native to become owner of lands. This is due
to the relationship of the Karaka for lands with the house
signifying the same matter. For example, Mercury is the
significator for education.His occupationof the 5th will
improve this signification of the 5th house.Similarly Saturn
who is the significator of longevity gives long life to the
native, if he is in the 8th or aspectsthe 8th which is the
house of longevity. The horoscope of No. 24 Geotge

Comments-The author has illustrated in this

horoscopethe lgngevity on account of the aspect
of theSaturnon the 8th house.Thereareotherdispositions
also responsiblefor his long life. Thesecombinationsfor
longevity are unique-the 2nd lord is in the 2nd, the lord
of 3rd (who is also Karaka for longevity being 8th to 8th)
is in the Lagnaand the luminaries(theSun and Moon) are
free from afflictions. We may add that one more reason
is the aspectof Jupiter on Venusthe lord of Lagna.
Ordinarily, the aspectof Saturnis consideredharmful,
but when Saturn by becominglord of very auspicious
housegetsequippedwith beneficqualities,his aspecton
the houseand planetwith similarqualities,doesnotharm
but advances
their goodeffects.For example,thishappens
when Saturn becomesa Yogakarakaby being lord of a

Comments-The author does not seem to have
taken into account the fact that the Sun is afflicted by
Rahu, and the Moon lord of the 10th is in the 6th with
Saturn. There are also two powerful Pancharnahapurusha Yogaspresentviz., Malavya causedby Venus
and Ruchakacausedby Mars in the 7th. The results of
theseYogasare as underMalavya-The personwill have a well developed
physique, will be strong-minded,wealthy, happy with
children and wife, will command vehicles, will be
renowned and learned.

Ruchaka-The person will have a strong

physique, will be lamous, king or an equal to king.
He will be wealthy, longlived and leader of an army.
It can alsobe said that Mars aslord of the 7th (10th to

If Capricorn be the Ascendant(lagna) with Mercury

the Lagna as well as from the 4th house (then the sixth

Saturn who is in the 8th aspectsMars who is lord

of the Sth as well as of the Lagna. Thus Saturn has
influence on the 8th, lord of the 8th and lord of the
Lagna. No other palnet has so much influenceon the
factors which could be responsiblefor the death of
the native. Thus it is Saturn who indicatesthe mode
of death.Such a Saturn whose metal is iron and steel
being lord of the 10th (Zenith) indicates that the death
would be caused due to fall from a great height.
SecondlySaturn also being the lord of 11th (which is
significatior of a costly conveyance)also indicates a
conveyanceas another cause of death. As the L0th
house (Zenith) is under the evil influence of Saturn,
Rahu and the Sun, therefore, there is indication of fall
from the great height. Thus Saturn demonstratesthat
the death was caused by the fall of an aircraft which
was flying at a great height.
That it is important to take the Lagna into account
to determine the caUseof death, is also confirmed by

According to him if we have a look at the dispositionof

find that Saturn who is lord of the third house,that is,
Sth to 8th, is influenced both by Jupiter lord of the Lagna
and the Moon lord of the 8th and will indicate the cause
of death. fupiter is also the lord of 4th which is a watery

If Mercurybe the lord of the Ascendantor Lagna
(Gemini or Virgo Ascendant),he becomesan absolute
representativeof the skin. The reasonis that the Lagna
as a whole representsthe body of the native. Therefore
Mercury as lord of the Lagna will representthe whole
body and the skin. He will not so absolute
representativeof skin if he is lord of any other house.
Similarly if the Moon be lord of the Lagna (Cancer
Ascendant) the Moon will be an absolute
re prese n t a t i v e o r si g n i fi ca to r o f b l o o d. If such
Mercury (as lord of the Ascendant)and the Moon or
the Moon (lord of the Ascendant)and Mercury fall
under the malefic influencesof Saturn and Rahu by
aspect or conjunction, the significations skin and
blood will be very adversely affected by the long
lasting (chronic) and filthy influence of Saturn and
Rahu and the affectionsof skin and contaminationof
blood will causethe native to suffer from leprosy.

lord of the Surya and Chandra Lagnas is an absolute

is of great significancein this horoscope.It will also be
observedthat Mars lord of the Lagna being in his sign
of debilitation and also being devoid of directional
strength in the 4th house, is extremely weak and
indicatesweaknessof muscles.Although the Moon is
in the 6th but she is not weak in Pakshabalaand is also
associatedwith Jupiter. Consequently the native did
suffer from leprosy but the diseasedid'not prove

Amongst the various planets Rahu is the most
dreaded one for the Moon. He is even called Chandra
rVimardana ({q ffi).
On the other hand the Moon is
the significator of emotions and consciousness.If the
Moon as lord of the 4th be in the 6th, gth or 12th antl
falls under the evil influence of Rahu by conjunctiory
aspect etc. and there be no benefic influence on the
Moon, the emotions and consciousnessare adversely
affected, giving rise to dreaded affliction known as
Epilespy. As lord of the 4th, the Moon will be absolute
representative of the emotional side of mind and
/therefore Moon's affliction in the manner described
above will definitely causea seriousdiseaseof the mind
and consciousness.
The horoscopeNo. 60 is that of a

Saturn. Theseafflictions are not the main causesfor the

disease.The important reasonis the affliction of the 4th

his aspect on the Moon. As already stated the Moon

The author of

frinistership, high administrative position etc.should
also be considered from the 2nd house. Thus an
assessmentof this kind should be done by a careful
examination of dispoitions of the Lagna, its lord,
the Sun, the 10th house and its lord, the 7th house
(which is 10th to 10th) and its lord and 2nd house
and its lord. If the planets concerned are strong
the native will become a ruler, minister, Prime

Dr. RajendraPrasad,former Presidentof India.

The Lagna is under the influence of four planets,
namely Mars, Mercury, fupiter and Saturn. Therefore
the Lagna is strong particularly when it is aspectedby
its own lord )upiter. The lord of 2nd Saturn is in the 7th
in a friendly sign endowed with directional strengthand
ls aspectedby Mercury lord of the LOthand 7th in the
Lagna endowed with directional strength.Although the
Sun is in the L2th but is hemmed in between Mercury
and Venus and is in Kendra to Jupiter. The above
dispositions which contain some malefic effectsalso,
gave Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the Presidentshipof India
after a life of struggles,stressesand strains.
Comments-From the Yogapoint of view there are
a number of auspiciousYogaslike Anapha, Ubhayachari
and Parijataetc. Presentin the horoscopebut the most
powerful is Adhiyoga causedby Venus(in his own sign)
and Mercury being in the 6th and the 8th from the
exalted Moon. Mercury one of member of the Adhiyoga,
is in the Lagna, in the sign of benefic Jupiter who being
Vargottama aspectsMercury, while Venus the other
planet causing the Adhiyoga is in his own sign. Thus
the three beneficsare involved in this Yoga.According
140
to classicalworks one born inAdhiyoga will be resolute,

wealthy, blessedwithfamily and happiness,and he will
be famous and learned.
This horoscope illustrates powerful Rajayogas
causedin the Lagna by involving Mars (lord of the 5th),
fupiter (lord of Lagna) and Mercury (lord of the 10th).

given as under :
- "Many relations, polite and generous, builder of
villages and towns or magistrate over them; will have a

The lord of Lagna Mars is in the LLth aspectedby
Jupiter. He is also aspectedby Saturn but as Saturn is
aspectedby the Suru he has been rendered weak and is
unable to do much harm to the man (this is what the
author thinks but is not very impressing and logical).

lord of a Kendra is associateawith the Moon lord of a

powerful as the Moon is weak being very close to the
Sun). Venus is in a friendly sign and is in Kendra to
Jupitea and has no malefic influence on him. Mars bv
aspecting his sign Aries, renders the Lagna strong.
Jupiter aspectsboth the Lagna and its lord. Sothe Lagnla

]he Lagna is Virgo. The Lord of Lagna Mercury is

Lagna has no malefic influence on it except that of
K:!" (by aspect)and is thereforevery strong^.The lord
of Lagna is equally strong. There is no malefic or
benefic in the 2nd house. Although Mars is in the 2nd
to it and Saturn in the L2th but Jupiter and Mercury
142

are also in the 12th. So we cannot say that the 2nd

house is altogether hemmed in between malefics'
Actually lord of the 2nd is in Kendra to it but he is
unfortunately under the malefic influence of Rahu
and Ketu. Thus we have to rule out the efficacy of
lord of the 2nd to do any good to the native' The 10th
house is aspectedby Mars who is in his own sign and
therefore not very harmful. Jupiter is in Kendra to
the 10th house and the lord of the 1Othis exalted in
Lagna.Thus the 10th houseand its lord are quite well
diJposed.We would not sayvery strong becauseafter
all Mars is a malefic and so is Saturn who is associated
with lord of the Lagna. The 7th house (10th to 1-0th)
belongs to Jupiter and is aspectedby him a9 well as
by Mercury tlie lord of the Lagna and the 10th' Saturn
uiro utp.cis the 7th but the good influences are in
majority. The Rajya Karaka Sun is in the 12th but he
is in his own sign and therefore cannot said to be
weak. Thus the dispositionsmake the horoscopequite
strong but not stiong enough for the native to be
presilent of India. There are other factors which
gave him that high status and they are described

(1) Both Jupiter and Mercury lords of the 10th (the

It is a basicprinciple of Hindu Astrology that when
a planet is in the 6th,8th or L2th house,in enemy sign,
combust on account of nearnessto the Sun, in his sign
Hora Shatak
t49
of debilitation, is associatedwith or aspectedby

malefics,the houseowned by suchplanetsuffersbadly.
When that planet owns an auspicious house, the
auspiciousnessof the house is destroyed. But if the
planet is lord of an inauspicioushouse and is weak on
account of dispositions mentioned above, he causes
VipareetaRajayogawhich givesname,fame,wealth and
successto the native. The reasonbehindit is that in these
circumstancesthe inauspiciousnessof a planet sodisposed
is almostcompletely weakenedand he becomesauspicious
to do good to the native. The 8th house is the house of
poverty. If the lord of 8th be posited in the 6th or 12th,
be associatedwith or aspectedby malefics and be
extremely weak, the signification of poverty of this
planet will be completely destroyedand he will instead
becomea donor of immensewealth to the native.

Uttarakalamrita-If in any one of the following
Yogas,namely (i) the lord of 8th occupying the 12th, or
the 6th, (ii) the lord of 6th being placed in the 8th or

(iv) the said three lords being related in any way by
mu t u a l e x c h a n g e o f p l a ce s, mu tu a l aspect or

- The horoscope above is of a Crorepati (otEqic)

o'r multi-millioniire. The horoscopedoei not indicate
so much wealth as the lords of 2nd and 11th are in
the 8th and 6th respectively.The lord of Lagna is also in
the 8th. The lord of 9th is in the 12th. But there is
VipareetaRajayogain full strength as the lord of 12th is
Hora Shatak
151
in the 8th alongwith the lord of 8th. The lord of 6th is in

the 12th.
For the students of Astrology we provide other
interestingfactsabout this Crorepati to explainwhy he
became so rich and influential. If they study the
horoscopefrom the Chandra Lagna they will find that
with
the horoscopehastwo PanchamahapurushaYogas
referenceto the Chandra Lagna, namely RuchakaYoga
formed by Mars in the 10th from the Chandra Lagna.
The Chandra Lagna is aspectedby Dhana-adhipati (lord
of 11th) Jupiter from the 5th house. There is mutual
aspectbetween DhanakarakaJupiter and Yogakaraka
Venus, the latter being lord of the 4th and 9th from the
Chandra Lagna. The Lagna is also aspectedby Mars
lord of the L0th,the planet which forms RuchakaYoga.
There is also mutual aspectbetween Saturn and Mars
the creators of Sasa and Ruchaka Yogas. There is
VipareetaRajayogaalsoasa result of conjunctionof the
lord of L2th Saturn and the lord of 8th Mercury
(reckoned from the Chandra Lagna), in the Lagna.
Saturn in his own sign in Lagnagivesrise to a powerful
Rajayoga(accordingto Brihat |ataka).
Phaladeepika-The author of this work has called
VipareetaRajayogaby three different namesbased on
the lordship of the 6th, 8th and 12th house. (1)If the 6th
housebe aspectedby maleficsand lord of the 6th be in
the 6th, 8th or I2t!i., the Yoga caused is called Harsha
Yoga.A person with this Yoga is fortunate, has a well
built body, is happy, afraid of committing sinful deeds
and conqueror of enemies. He is also famous and
popular.
(2) If lord of the 8th, be in the 6th, 8th or 12th the
Yoga causedis called SaralaYoga.The person born in
152
astrology
this Yoga is longlived, strong willed, fearless,wealthy,

successfulin his undertakingsand famous.
(3) If lord of the 12th be in the 1.2th,8thor 6th, the
Yogacausedis called Vimala Yoga.The personborn in
thisYoga,accumulateswealth.He is huppy independent
and becomesfamous for his good qualities and good
deeds.
"Some of the scholarsdo not agreeto theseand opine
that even though the author of the above Yogas has
as c ribe d v e r y p l ea sa n t re su l ts to th ese thr ee
combinations,yet in actualpractice,quite contraryhave
beenthe results.Parasharadoesnot seemto favour the
conceptionthat evils of lordship can entirely disappear
asa result of this evil lord occupying anotherDusthana."
As w e d o n o t co n si d e r P h a l a d e epika and
Uttarakalamrita as ordinary authorities, we would
advise the readersto testthe dictums of thoseauthorities
and the views of these schoolsin actual practice.We
have, however,found that personswith very ordinary

If there be benefics in the 6th,7t!rrand 8th (all the

three houses) from the Moon, the Yoga so formed is
called Adhiyoga or Chandra-adhiyoga'This is one of
the most beneficiyal Yoga and makes the native
wealthy, famous and longlived. The rationalefor this
Yoga is that by the occupationof the 6th,Tthand the
8th-housesfrom the Moon by benefics,the Chandra
Lagna becomesvery strong u.,q auspicious'By such
diJposition of three benefics,Mercury, Jupiter and
Venus, not only the Chandra Lagna is aspected.by
beneficsbut the houses2nd and 12th to it alsoreceive

under sloka 22 maY also be seen.
Comments-Like the Chandra Adhiyoga there is
also the LagnaAdhiyoga. In the latter casethe benefic
planets haie to be in the 6th, 7th and the 8th from the
Lugttu. The results of both the Yogas are the same'
Aciording to some schools of thought the benefics
may be diitributed in all the three housesor they may
be in anyone or two of them to form this Yoga' As the
principie behind this Yoga i: to bestow benefic
influence on the Lagna or the Chandra Lagna as well
as on its teft and rigth side, the Yoga will be perfect
when such an effect-ispresent.Another condition for
the Yoga to be fully fruitful is that there should be no
malefiis in the 6th,7th or 8th. Here is the horoscope
154
No. 73 to illustrate the above point.

Here there is the Lagna Adhiyoga as Mercury is in

So the Yogais perfect.The native reapedvery beneficial
resultsdue to this Yoga.He becamea man of lakhs before
he reachedthe age of thirty years,although he was from
an ordinary family and had begun his careeras a clerk
in a private Life InsuranceCompany.Now he even owns
a house of his own which is worth about Rs. 10 lakhs.
Ju p it er ' s m a j o r p e ri o d b ro u g h t th e pr osper ity.
Shri Bhasinvery rightly claimsthat Adhiyoga is based
on the'Parshavagamini Drishti' (wvffift gfu), that is
aspectson either side of the Lagnaor Chandralâgna.If
there aremaleficsin the 6th,Tthand 8th from the l,agna or
Chandra trg a the resultswill be quite opposite.
Adhiyoga is not formed when there are benefic
planetsin the Lagna or ChandraLagna or around them
although every houseprospersbecauseof the strenght
of the Lagna (that is, on their either side). Similarly a
planet gets more beneficenceif it has benefic planets
with it or on his either side, or in 6th, 7th and 8th
to him.

On this very principle are based the well known

Yogaslike Anapha, SunaphaDurudhura, Shubhavesi,
Shubhavasiand Shubhakartari. These Yogas are in
respectof the Moon and Sun and the presenceof these
Yogasimprove the structure of the horoscopeand the
native getslong life and prosperity.
Sunapha Yoga is formed when there are planets
(exceptingthe Sun) in the 2nd house from the Moon.
The results are self earned property, kingly status, or
his equal,intelligence,wealth and good reputation.
Anapha Yoga is formed when there are planets in
the L2th to the Moon. The resultsof this Yogaare-well
formed organs,majesticappearance,good reputation,
politeness,generosity,respect,fondness of dress and
sensualpleasures.In later life renunciation and austerity.
Durudhura Yoga- If thereareplanetson either side
of the Moon, this Yoga is caused.The result are-the
native is handsome. He will be blessedwith much
wealth and conveyances.
According to "Brihat lataka" edited by P.S.Sastri,
published by I\a/sRanjan Publications if'the planet in
the 2nd or L2th be Mars, the person will be energetic,
powerful, wealthy and bold. If it be Mercury,he will be
skilful, eloquentand proficientin the arts.If it befupiter,
he witl be wealthy, virtuous, happy and honoured by
the sovereign.If it be Venushe will be very rich and a
sensualist.If Saturn be the planet in the 2nd or 12th
house from the Moon, the person will enjoy other
people's wealth, clothes etc., will engagehimself in
various occupationsand will be the leader of men.
I Accordingto'Phaladeepika'ifbeneficsoccupythe2nd
or L2th or both sidesof the Sun,the Yogasso formed are
andShubhaUbhayachari.
Shubha-Vasi
calledShubha-Vesi,
{f therearemaleficsinvolved in this Yoga,then it is called
Papa-Vesi,Papa-Vasiand PapaUbhayachari.
156
Similarly we should consider such position with

referenceto the Lagna. If there be malefic planets in the
2nd and 12th from the Lagna, the yoga so formed will
be Papa Kartari Yoga. If there be benefics in these
positions the Yoga so formed will be Shubha Kartari
Yoga. If there be a benefic in the 2nd from the Lagna,
the Yogawill be known a Sushubha.If there be a benlfic
in the 12th to the Lagna,there is no yoga as the 12th is
treatedas an inauspicioushouse.
The results of various Yogas according to phala
Deepika by Dr. G.S.Kapoor, published by I\{s Ranjan
Publicationsare as underShubha Vesi - Handsome,huppy, learned,religious
minded and ruler.
Shubha Ubhayachari-Good speaker,renowned,
honoured, wealthy and well formed limbs.
PapaVesi - Defamesothers,without any lustre, bad
company and objectionablemorals.
Papa Vasi - Back-biter, treacherous,friend of
notorious personsand of bad character.
PapaUbhayachari -No education,unfortunate and
poor/ unhappy and ill famed.
Shubha Kartari-Longlived, huppy, wealthy and
famous and free from enemiesand diieases.
Papa Kartari-Poor, unhappy, deformed limbs,
shortJived and deprived of wife and children.
As already stated above, the evaluation of other
housesand planets should be done in similar manner.
We know we have deviatedfrom the main subject,but
it will be very useful for the readersto know the effects
of planets and their influencesby aspect on either side
of a house or planet. A house or a planet with benefic
influenceson its both sidesgainsstrengthfor the good.
The results will be opposite if the house or planet is
surrounded by malefic influences.

6th to 6th also possesses

a person born with Gemini as the Asiendant, he is very
likely to have a violent nature as Mars is the lord of
both the 6th and 11th house.

A Yoga for imprisonment is formed when Rahu

aspectsor occupiesthe 12th houseor if he aspectslord
of the 12th or be associatedwith him, and lbrd of the
12th be weak. The 12th house inter alia signifies
imprisonment and Rahu is Karakafor imprisoiment.
As the L_agnarepresentsthe body, the yoga would be
strong if Lagna is also involved in it.
In this connection the horoscopeof Dr. Rajendra
Prasadmay be seenunder Sloka43.In this horoscope
53h" being 10th from Mars, the lord of 1,2thisexerting
his malefic influence on the Lagna. The occupation
of the 12thby the Sun also harmi the house.The lord
of 1.2this aspectedby Saturn also. Thus the yoga for
imprisonment is quite strong but since Jupiter-is in
the 10th from the 12th, the imprisonment was for a
good cause,that is, for the serviceof the Motherland.
Similarly in the horoscope of Mahatma Gandhi
under Sloka35, Rahu is in the 10th from Mercurv the
lord of 12th. Further the 12th is occupied bf the
malefic Sun, lord of the 12th is associatedwith Mars
and is hemmed in between the Sun and Saturn.Here
also lord of the 12th is aspectedby Jupiter, so the
imprisonment was for a good cause.

In the horoscopeof Pt. Nehru under sloka 8, Rahu

inducting Rahu as Karaka imprisonment. Here are
some more Yogasfor imPrisonment.
Brihat |atika -If., at a Person's birth, all the
malefics are in the 12th, Sth, 2nd and 9th, the man is
imprisoned.
In Pt. Nehru's horoscopethough the Yogadescribed
above is not absolute,the housesconcernedare under

2nd,bySaturn,the 5th by the Sun and the 9th is aspected
bv Mars.

(1) If maleficsoccupy the 12th,5th, 9th and 2nd, the
person will be imprisoned (This is the sameYoga as
given by Brihat Jataka).
(2) If in the following pair of houses(i) 2nd and 12th,
(ii) 5th and 9th (iii) 6th and 12th, (iv) 3rd and tlth and
(v) ath and 10th, there are equal number of planets,the
person concernedwill suffer imprisonment.
(3) If the lords of the 1stand 6th housesbe conjoined
with Saturn in a Kona (trine) or Kendra, the person
concernedwill suffer imprisonment.
It is interesting to note the Yogagiven by Shri Bhasin
applies to all the horoscopesreferredby him. The Yoga
given by Brihat fataka and fataka Tatwa do not apply
in all the cases.

inappropriatedeedson the part of the native areclearly
indicated.Saturn in the 4th indicatesmisery in old age.
Dalmia died very disappointed.Dr. B.V.Raman in his
book 'Notable horoscopes'has given the reasonfor
imprisonmentasfollows-without any rich inheritance,
t o bec o m e a b u s i n e ssma n w i th su ch colossal
commitments, is not an easy joke. This remarkable
achievement was rendered possible by the unique
disposition of Saturn, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and
Jupiter, causing a formidable set of Dhana and Raja
Yogasof a dynamic nature. In the Navamsa Jupiter's
exaltationin the 10th houseis of immensesignificance
in further enhancingthe worth of the horoscope.Though
he (Jupiter)is exalted in Navamsa,he could not save
the native from incarcerationbecauseperhaps of his
quardrangular ownership (Kendra-adhipatiDosha),
associationwith Rahu and being subjectto KartriYoga
by the lords of 6th and 12th." Dr. Raman has not given
any importanceto the 12th houseand the L2th lord for
being involved in getting him imprisonment. This
should have been done. We are inclined to agreemore
with the theory of Shri Bhasinthan that of Dr. Raman.
Jupitercould be surely responsiblefor his inappropriate
deeds but involvement of the 12th house,Saturn and

is in the 5th, but weak becausehe is in his sign of
debilitation. As the effect of the house is considered
strongerthan that of the sign,we would saythatJupiter
is strong to someextent.Therefore2years will have to

associatedwith the malefic,but weak Sun as well with
beneficsMercury and Venus.Therefore the marriage
should take place4 yearsearlier,that is, at the age of 18
years (22-4). But Mars is alsoaspectingJupiter.So the
marriageis likely to be delayedby 4 yearswhich brings
the age of marriage as22. Mars being in Kendra to the
7th house would delay the marriage by 2years which
meansthat in accordancewith the calculationsmade so
far, the marriage should take placeatthe ageof 24.Now
let us seethe effectsof the KarakaVenus.Therewould be
addition of 2 yearson accountof the associationof Venus

mention of the 'BhaaathBhaaam'theory. According to
him the 11th house being 6th to 6th is the house of
diseasesand the 9th housebeing 5th to 5th is also the
houseof children.
I give below ip this connectionthe theory explained
by Shri H.R. SeshadariIyer, in his very knowledgeable
Hora Shatak

book, 'New Techniques of Prediction'. "Lord of the

Bhava removed from the Bhava at a distanceequal to
the number of Rasisthe said Bhavais from Lagna Rasi,
causesthis specialsituation and gives a specialeffect.It
is nothing but a changefrom the previous position and
circumstancesor a further analogousevent. From the
following illustration you will be able to understand
what it really means.
(1) Dhanath Dhanam (Lord of 2nd in 3rd)'With an
initial increasingone's financial condition.
(2) Bhrathruvath-Bhrathru (Lord of 3rd in 5th)Younger coborns from step mother or like her or
adopted brother or like him.
(3) Vidyath-Vidya, Mathruvath-Mathru,
Sukhath Sukham etc- (Lord of 4th in 7th) - Advancing
from one type of education to another or from one
Degreeto a higher Degree.Having step mother or like.
Happinessabounding, in plenty and in succession.
(4) Putrath Putram - (Lord of 5th in 9th)- Adopted
children or step children (Legal or illegal)
(5) Rogath-Rogam, Rinath-Rinam, ShatruvathShahum- (Lord of 6th in 11th)-One diseaedeveloping
after another. First debt getting incresaedto further
debts.One enemy raising other enemies.
(6) Kalathrath-kalathram (Lord of 7th in 1,st)Multiple wives or concubines.
(7) Marnath-Maranam (Lord of 8 in 3)-One death
being the causeof subsequentdeath.
(8) Bhagyath Bhagyam, Pithruvath-Pithrum - (Lord
of 9th in 5th) - Starting with original affluence,acquiring
further infflux of wealth. In caseof other reading it may
be common in Westerncountries where bigamy for men
and women is socially accepted.Among Hindus it is an
172
astrology
obnoxious idea i.e. to have a Bhinna pitru (secondary

father). Yet there are instancesof widow marriage or
illicit intimacy of the mother with a paramour who will
then assumethe role of step father.
(9) Karmath-Karma (Lord of LOthin 7th)- From one
professionto another.
(10) Vyayath-Vyayam (Lord of 12th in 11th)Spending and over spending.
It will thus be seen that the theory of "Bhavat
Bhavam"shouldbe appliedvery judiciously.Theremay
be some points of controversylike whether the house
6th to 6th that is 11th should be considereda house of
diseasealso or not. There are some like the 9th (sth to
sth) has also shown some results regarding progeny.
Thereforethe readeris requiredto usehis experiencein
this connection,becauseby and large it is alsoa matter
of one's own experiences.

If the Ascendant Lagna be Taurus and the Moon

occupies the 6th alongwith Rahu, the native lives in
urro.iution with Mlechchhas.The reason is : the Moon
signifies mind and being lord of the 3rd house also
in*dicatesinclination towards friendship or liking. If such
Moon conjoinsRahu in the 6th house,it is quite logical
that the native will be fond of the company of
Mlechchhas.
