A
uspicious and inauspicious
energies from the cosmos impact
the entire mobile and immobile
world. Our bodies are also not immune to
it. Positive impact makes us feel happy and
healthy and negative impact makes us feel
unhappy and ill. In astrology Lagna is
considered as the body and the Moon as
the mind. Thus, it can be analysed through
the position of the Lagna and the Moon i.e.
through the auspicious and inauspicious
impact on them, whether a person would
be healthy, happy or worried and sickly.
If the birth Lagna has auspicious impact
and Moon has inauspicious impact then a
person may seem to have a healthy body
but may be mentally weak, pained, uneasy
and mentally sick. Similarly, auspicious
impact on Moon and inauspicious impact
on birth Lagna may give enthusiasm to a
person, good mental abilities and a creative
mind but physically he may have
problems, worries and sickness. Thus, it is
necessary for a person to have auspicious
and strong birth Lagna-Lagna Lord and
Moon. If any of them is weak or has
negative impacts on it then the natal chart
is in the weak category and the Rajayogas in the chart are unable to give their full results,
this is scribes view.

In astrology, analysis of inauspiciousness and illness is done on the basis of the following:

1- Malefic impact on birth Lagna,

2- Lord of Lagna is weak, malefically associated, debilitated, combust, in 6, 8, 12 houses,

3- If a house, lord of the house, sign pertaining to Kaalpurush, lord of such a sign and
significator, all of these are malefically associated then the body part pertaining to such a
sign and house will have illness.

4- Scribes view is that this illness is possible in the dasa-antardasa of the planets of 6, 8, 12
and marak house or the planets associated with them. This should be confirmed from
Trishansh.

Phaldeepika Rognirnay Chapter 14 Shloka

This means that if a planet is placed in either of 6, 8, 12 houses or is associated with the lords of these
houses then it may show illness associated with itself.

Normally we view auspicious or inauspicious events from Lagna chart and confirm with the
Navamsh chart. Navamsh may be analysed for matters related to spouse and capabilities of a
planet. Generally it is noticed that Navamsh is not always capable of confirming all the events.
Parashar muni has mentioned about Varga charts for analyzing different aspects of life. An
event indicated in the birth chart can be confirmed through the related Varga chart.
Trishansh or D-30 is one such Varga chart. As per this is used to know of
evils in the life of a person. Trishansh means thirtieth part of any sign.

Calculation of Trishansh

M
ost of the classical texts have divided each sign - 30 degrees each - into five parts
for determining the Trishansh. These five divisions are unequal in even and odd
sign. In all odd signs every 5, 5, 8, 7, 5 degrees are Trishansh of respectively
Aries, Aquarius, Saggitarius, Gemini and Libra. In all even signs every 5, 7, 8, 5, 5 degrees are
Trishansh of respectively Taurus, Virgo, Pisces, Capricorn and Scorpio. Trishansh degrees
1
are referenced from Jatakdeshmarg and Jatakparijat translated by Shri Gopesh Kumar Ojha .

Majority of available scriptures have considered only five parts of any sign as Trishansh.
However, Pandit Ramyatna Ojha has given a table of thirty parts of Trishansh in his book
2
Phalit Vikas published by Chowkhamba Surbharti Prakashan, Varanasi.

According to him Trishansh has five parts and there is no harm in calling it Panchmansh
(Five Parts) because five planets are their lords. Only, there are some minor changes in
degrees.

Utility Of Trishansh

G
enerally, Trishansh chart is used to know of character of a woman and her nature.
According to Brihat Jatak, chapter Stri Jatak, Shlok 3-6 commented by Pandit
Kedardutt Joshi and Saravalli, chapter Stri Jatak 45, Shlok 5-12 commented by
Murlidhar Chaturvedi Trishansh of various planets reveal character, characteristic or ability
and nature etc. of a woman.

But

According to Dr. Sureshchandra Mishra, the commentator of the chapter on Vargas of

Parashar Hora Shastra, evils i.e. illness, accidents and severe problems can be confirmed properly
through Trishansh chart.

It is possible that according to Brihat Jatak or Saravalli thirty parts of Trishansh were used as
a base to know of character and nature of a woman. Commentator of Jatak Parijat published
by Motilal Banarsidas is Shri Gopeshkumar Ojha. In the book, in the chapter
Rashisheeladhyaya page 50-52, he has quoted Laghuparashari published by Navalkishore Press
and edited by Pandit Girirajprasad Dwivedi, the Head of Astrology Department of Maharaja
Sanskrit College, Jaipur about Pure Trishansh i.e. thirty Trishansh of one degree each and that it
may be known from Trishansh about the manner in which a person would meet his death. Whether to
use Trishansh for analysis of character and nature of a woman or to analyse it for
inauspicious matters is something that requires research and I am doing studies on this. It is
accepted that according to ancient methods given by rishis there are thirty parts to Trishansh
that are used for analysis of many specific matters.

It is also accepted that if a planet has strength in Vargas Trishansh Table From Phalit Vikas

then the possibility increases of auspiciousness and

According to Parasharji Trishansh is used to analyse evil or Saggitarius, Scorpio,

should be considered to give evil. 1 13 25 1 7

then a person should become careful in the dasa-antardasa of such a planet. There is a high
possibility of evil during such a period. Such a planet may give illness, deathlike trouble or even
death in its dasa-antardasa. It can do so even if it is Lagna Lord or participating in Rajyoga.

Period of such a planet may be considered, in a way, to be a period when evil is likely to
happen. Some examples to confirm this are given further.

Example 1: Child Birth: 8-Jul-2010 00:15AM 75E49 26N55

4 Note: The author had used Parashara Light 7.0 software while we used JHora. Accordingly the degrees of planets in all the examples
were slightly different as was the position of Gulik. We have retained the JHora charts in the article. The discussion does not change.
This is true even in case of Gulik where the author has shown an impact though the impact is from a different angle. For instance, Gulik
may be in the house under discussion rather than being placed in the house whose lord is under discussion - Love Tandon, SA

Death: 19-Jul-2010 in Su/Ma/Sa

This child born in Pisces Lagna has Lagna Lord Jupiter in Lagna itself in birth lagna chart
and is with Rahu in 8H in Navamsh. The child became ill from birth. On investigation
infection was found in the blood. The child came home after a few days in the hospital. On
problems happening again the child was shifted to hospital in the ICU and died on 19-Jul-
2010. Sun dasa was running at death with Mars antardasa and Saturn pratyantar dasa. Some
astrologers mentioned a possibility of recovery because of the presence of Lagna Lord in the
Lagna. According to Jaimini

1. Lagna Lord and 8HL being in dual-natured and fixed signs indicate long life.
2. Saturn and Moon being in dual-natured and movable signs indicate short life.
3. Lagna and Hora Lagna being dual-natured and movable signs indicate short life.

Short life appearing twice means the child will have a short life.

If we look at Trishansh then mahadasa lord Sun being 6HL in birth lagna chart is exalted in
Navamsh. In Trishansh chart mahadasa lord Sun in Vargottam (Sun in Ge in D1 & D3) in
Trik house indicates evil. Antardasa lord Mars, in Trishansh, is with D30 8HL Sun in 6H,
this Sun is Vargottam. Pratyantar dasa lord Saturn is 11HL and 12HL and placed in Virgo in
7H in birth lagna chart. Saturn, in Navamsh, is the Lagna Lord and placed in Lagna. In
Trishansh, Saturn is Vargottam and with 12HL indicating evil. Dasa-antardasa lords have
shown evil for child and short life in their periods by being Vargottam in Trishansh and
association with Trik houses.
Example 2: Male. Expert In Bone Diseases 31-Oct-1953 05:40 AM 75E49 26N55 - Knee
problems & knee removal.
This person is born in Vargottam Libra Lagna, has debilitated Lagna Lord in 12H with 2HL
and 7HL Mars. Lagna has debilitated Sun with exalted Saturn. He suffered severe pain in the
knee on Nov-1996 in the dasa of Mars, antardasa of Mars and pratyantardasa of Mercury
(Ma/Ma/Me). He is himself a specialist in bone diseases and an orthoeopadic surgeon.
There was no relief even after three operations and finally one of the knees had to be removed due
to infection. Since then, he is wheel chair bound and dependent on crutches. Markesh of
birth lagna chart and Lagna Lord of Trishansh both being Mars is placed in 6H in Trishansh,
is Vargottam and with exalted Mercury. In Trishansha, dasa-antardasa lord Mars is
Vargottam and pratyantar dasa lord is exalted Mercury with both in Trik house thereby
giving evil results.

To find out the affected body part, see that the 10H has Ketu along with Gulik. Capricorn,
the 10H of Kaalpurush has Rahu and the lord of Capricorn Saturn is combust. Like this,
Capricorn related part knees shows pain and disease in the knees.

Example 3: Female Child 26-Feb-2009 04:07AM 76E36 27N34 - Food pipe missing since birth
This female child born on 26-Feb-2009 in Saggitarius Lagna with Gulik had debilitated Lagna
Lord Jupiter placed with Mercury, Mars on Rahu Ketus axis. She had Jupiter major period
running at birth who is Lagna Lord and also Rajayogakarak. The severe illness of the child
was confirmed immediately after birth when she could not swallow the milk fed to her. An
examination revealed absence of food pipe. A pipe was inserted through a hole made in the
stomach and she was fed through that. After some months on 21-Dec-2009 a food pipe was
transplanted after an operation. A day later on 22-Dec-2009 at 00:30 AM in the major period
of Jupiter, antardasa of Mercury and pratyantardasa of Venus the child died. In the
Trishansh chart birth Lagna Lord Jupiter in own sign, debilitated markesh, badhakesh
Mercury and the exalted pratyantardasa lord Venus are pointing towards the events. In
addition, the Balarishta yoga of malefically associated Lagna Lord Jupiter and Moon in the
birth chart is confirmed and taken to conclusion by the Trishansh. In the natal chart of the
child the fourth sign Cancer of the Kaalpurush has Ketu, the lord of Cancer Moon is combust
and aspected by Saturn, 4H has 6HL Venus and 4HL Jupiter is debilitated; all of these
indicate body part related to the fourth house. Fourth house also indicates food pipe, so the food
pipe was missing.

Example 4: Female 07-Sep-1958 07:30AM 77E35 27N38 Both Kidneys Damaged

This female of Virgo Lagna has Lagna Lord Mercury in 12H with 12HL. Lagna Lord in 12H is
considered not good for health. Lagna Lord has aspects of 3HL Mars, Ketu and Saturn who is
6HL i.e. lord of the house of illness. The female got Diabetes in Saturn mahadasa and Moon
antardasa and in April 2009 in Ketu pratyantardasa under Sa/Mo both the kidneys were
damaged. Now she has to continuously go for Dialysis.
The Lagna Lord of Trishansh chart is in 8H in Trishansh. In Trishansh, the major dasa lord
Saturn is Vargottam, the antardasa lord Moon is debilitated and with 6HL, the
pratyantardasa lord Ketu is Vargottam in 8H all confirming a serious illness. In the birth
chart the sixth sign of Kaalpurush Virgo is between cruel malefics and benefics, the sign lord
Mercury is malefically associated, the 6HL has aspect of Rahu and 12HL, also the aspect of
8HL on Saturn who is the 6HL indicate disease related to sixth house. Thus, the female had
kidney problems.

Example 5: Female 15-Jun-1955 07:46:11 75E49 26N55 - Death due to tumour in the head
Death due to tumour in the head on 22-Sep-2009 Mo/Ve/Ma pratyantar

This person was born in Gemini Lagna with Lagna Lord Mercury in the Lagna alongwith
6HL Mars on the Rahu Ketu axis. She faced severe pain in the head from Moon mahadasa
and Venus antardasa from April 2009 (note position of both planets in D30). When general
medicines failed an examination revealed tumour in the head and it was operated upon. The
disease increased again from August 2009 and was operated once again. She died on 22-Sep-
2009 in Moon mahada, Venus antardasa and Mars pratyantardasa. Her Trishansha Lagna
Lord Venus is in 12H in Trishansh chart and is debilitated. Mahadasa lord Moon is
Vargottam in birth and Trishansh charts in Pisces and is in Trik house in Trishansh.
Antardasa lord Venus is in own sign in natal chart and is debilitated in Trishansh while
pratyantardasa lord Mars is Vargottam indicating severe evil.
Lagna has 6HL Mars and Ketu while Aries in Kaalpurush has aspects of Saturn and Rahu
indicating illnesss related to the head.

Study of such other natal charts shows inauspicious results in the dasa-antardasa periods of the
planets that are vargottam, exalted, in own sign or associated with Trik houses in Trishansh. I believe
that whenever trouble is indicated in the natal chart it should necessarily be confirmed in
Trishansh. Properly conducted astrological remedies may be useful if there is a possibility of
inauspiciousness.

General Remedies

Do keep in mind that medical procedures are continued even when astrological remedies
are being conducted. Remedies adopted alongwith medical treatment may be specially
useful.
 In dasa-antardasa of whichever planet disease or problems begin, the mantras of the dasa-
antardasa lords should be regularly chanted as per capabilities and the objects of the planets
should be given in charity to needy people. It has been tested a number of times that the
remedies for reducing evils mentioned for each dasa-antardasa in Dasaphaladhyaya the chapter on
dasa results in Parashar Hora Shastra are very useful.

In case of illness the patiend should be in the room in the North-East direction of the house
and should sleep with his head towards East. If there is no room in North-East direction of
the house then the patient should lie in the North-East direction of any room. The energies
so received seem to provide quick relief.

Medicines should also be kept in North-East direction. This enriches the medicine with
auspicious energies. Before taking the medicine or while taking the medicine if the patient
or his close relatives chant the following mantra it is experienced that the medicine
provides faster relief.

, ,

arra ca navachidra vydhi grasta nirantam|
auadha jhnav toya vaidyo nryao hari||
om acyutyyai nama , om ananatyai nama , om govindyai nama

Other than all this, chants of nectar like effective Mahamrityunjaya mantra definitely
provide quick relief to the patient.

 In order to strenghthen the birth Lagna wearing of the stone of the Lagna Lord, clothes of
the colour of Lagna Lord and good use of food items of the planet increases the immunity.

It is experienced that good relief is obtained in illness like Cancer on worship of Mother
Goddess Durga and reading of Durga Saptashati. As per scriptures Mother Durga had killed
Raktabeej. It is said about Raktabeej that each drop of his blood use to produce another
Raktabeej on touching the ground. A disease is also the same, it aggravates if even a small
portion of it remains. Worship of Mother Durga can destroy it.
