Preface
Jataka tattva or natal horoscopy is a vast and complicated subject and requires mastery of diverse range of areas. The first and most important step in that is understanding how to interpret bhvas. The term bhva cint is taken from Mantresvaras Phaladeepika who tried to present the principles in consistent way in his immortal classic. This is an attempt to present various matters used in bhva analysis in a systematic manner. This is however, not everything one must know to start analysing the horoscope. Before going to analysis of specific bhvas which have their own set of specific principles, one need to have good understanding of the general principles. This serves as a good starting point in analysing bhva. In subsequent lessons each specific bhva will be covered that will reinforce the understanding of both generic and specific aspects of each bhva. This is intended for those who have good understanding of Jyotish fundamentals such as rasis, grahas, bhvas etc. May I pray to the Gurus to make the journey through this lesson easy and enjoyable.

bhva significations
The first step in analyzing a horoscope is to accurately understand the significations of the Bhava. A Bhava governs myriad of significations and it is not possible to list down each and every significations. However, the ones given by the Maharishis and other astrological savants can guide our thinking to the right direction should we find an area that is not listed. The secret is to understand what those authors wanted to convey.

Jataka Parijata There are 12 bhvas such as Tanu, Dhana, Shahaja etc. If benefics are placed in the bhva and if benefics or the bhva lord aspect the bhva then the bhva prospers. The auspicious results of the bhva is full if natural malefics are not placed in the bhva or aspect it. On the contrary if the bhva is conjoined with malefics or aspected by them the bhva suffers destruction. If there are both benefic and malefic influences, mixed results are produced.
Additional points:
This refutes the popular belief that benefics spoil the bhva where they are placed and strengthens the bhva where it aspects. Similarly Malefics placed in the bhva strengthens the bhva where it is placed and weakness the bhva it aspects.
This shows that placement and aspect of benefics are both good and placement of aspect of malefics are both bad.

Additional notes
Regarding Dusthanas (6th, 8th and the 12th), prosperity of the bhva does not mean increase in the negative results. This means increase of auspicious results and decrease of inauspicious results. For instance benefic influences on the 6th house cause reduction in enmity and litigations, such influences on the 8th house increases longevity and on the 12 house decreases unnecessary expenses. Balabhadra presents Satyacharya's opinion in the Hayan Ratna. He says Satyachayrya opines that "Astamastha saumya mrtyu hani kurvanti, papa mrtyu vriddhi kurvanti. Dvadase saumya vyayahani kurvanti, krura vyayavrddhim. Shasthabhvastha saumya shatruhanim krurah shatruvrddhim kurvantiti. In Saravali (34.70) Kalyanvarma mentions that Jupiter, Moon or Venus's placement in the 12th house cause accumulation of wealth Thus influences of natural benefics on any bhva manifests the auspicious results and mollifies inauspicious results pertaining to the bhva. Malefics does just the reverse, thus manifest the inauspicious results and supresses the auspicious results. Yet it is said that malefics give auspicious results in upachaya bhvas namely 3, 6, 10, 11. These are the houses of growth and need the influence of malefics as growth is essentially a selfish activity.

Different classics have suggest minor variations in the order, especially the order of strong and weak Mercury and Moon. Jupiter is the most benevolent and Rahu is the most malevolent planet Jaimini When a bhva is aspected by Jupiter, Mercury and its lord that bhva is rendered very strong.

The 9th house is placed with the Karaka and Bhavesha Surya, however, is also placed with Mars and aspected by Saturn. It is receiving good aspect of Lagna lord Jupiter and debilitated Rahu (75%) from the 12th house. Rahu is very negative in the horoscope because of Ayush debility in the 12th bhva. A special vimshottari dasa applies for the native as the Subhapati is the Atmakaraka i.e, Vimshottari dasa started from the Atmakaraka Mars sphuta (longitude). According to this, the father died in Mars-Rahu-Rahu.

9th house is placed with the lagna and the 8th lord Venus. Venus being the lagna lord does not carry the maleficence of the 8th lordship. The 9th lord is placed in the 7th house with exalted Karaka Sun. These are good placement of the 9th bhva and the lord. However, Anitya Karaka (covered later) Mars is placed in badhaka sthana (which is 11th for a movable sign) and severely afflicted by Saturn and Rahu. The Karaka Sun is having exchange with Mars showing afflicting coming on the Sun. The affliction by Saturn and Rahu shows bereavement. The father died in the period of Moon Moon. Moon is the Maraka from the 9th house being the 2nd lord and is placed in the 7th from the 9th house. It will also give the results of its Jupiter which is placed in the malefic combination in Leo. Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhva cint 15 Apr 2014 23 v3
9th house is Aries with lagna lord exalted therein showing excellent bhagya related to father. However, it is placed with 2nd and 11th lord Mercury which is a functional malefic, but a natural benefic. This is not an adverse combination. However, the 9th is aspected by Rahu from the 5th house which is an affliction as Rahu is an enemy to the karaka for the father Sun. The 9th lord Mars is placed in Aquarius which is a neutral sign (panchadha maitri) and one Anitya Karaka (Marss dispositor) is Rahu who is afflicting Sun in the 9th. Another Anitya Karaka Saturn is in the 2nd from the 9th with the 2nd lord affecting longevity (placement in maraka bhva) with Marakesh. The father died in Rahu-Saturn-Rahu.

7th house is vacant but aspected by 9th lord Sun- which is a good combination showing fortune after getting married. The 9th lord Mercury is placed in the 2nd house with two gurus Jupiter and Venus which is also a very good combination. However, the lord is placed in the 8th from itself which is not a auspicious combination showing trouble. 7th lord Mercury is placed with Karaka Venus showing good married life. So the bhva, Bhavesha and Karaka are well placed in the horoscope. The Anitya Karaka Saturn is placed in the 9th house (misfortune) and afflicted by Mars+Ketu (Pisacha yoga) in the 2nd from it (Ashubha yoga) and Gulika-Mandi in the 12th. The dispositor of Gulika+Mandi will be very inimical and is placed in the 4th house with Rahu (afflicting happiness- Sukha). The maraka to the 7th are the Moon (2nd lord) afflicted, the Sun placed in the 7th from it and the planets conjoining the 7th lord Merc in the 8th (from 7th) - Venus; Mercury being the 7th lord will not be a maraka (lagna lord for husband). The husband died in Venus-Rahu-Ketu. Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhva cint 15 Apr 2014 25 v3

What is dispositor?
What is a dispositor? The lord of the place (sthana) where a planet (graha) is placed is called the dispositor of the said planet.
For instance, consider Sagittarius Lagna and Lagna lord Jupiter is placed in Aquarius, 3rd house. The dispositor of lagnesha Jupiter is Saturn and Rahu, the two lords of Aquarius.
Similarly the lord of the nakshatra where a planet is placed becomes the nakshatra dispositor of the said planet The dispositors are very important and are an important source of strength of planets. Dispositors are the owner of a place (say house/ building) while the planets under consideration are the tenants. Say, if the owner of a house is weak and poor, the tenant of that house suffer anxiety.

Impact of dispositors
Jataka-alankara Whichever sign the bhavesha is placed, if the lord of that sign is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the Lagna, then all the auspicious results of the bhva do not manifest. However, if the sign-lord is placed in exaltation, svakshetra, friendly sign, then whatever auspicious results shown by the placement of said bhavesha will manifest.

Examine Lagnesha and karaka Sun and the Moon for health Lagna is placed with poisonous Mandi and the lagna lord is placed in marana karaka sthana in the 3rd house. The dispositors of the lagna lord are Saturn and Rahu. Saturn is well placed in dikbala in kendra, however the stronger of the two Rahu is placed in the 12th debilitated (ayus debilitation) with debilitated Moon. Health is a perpetual trouble for the native and it started right from birth in Saturns antardasa. Moons placement in the 12th debilitated and afflicted by Rahu and Saturns aspect on the lagna shows severe balarista. Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhva cint v3

Examine Lagnesha and karaka Sun and the Moon for health Lagna is placed with poisonous Gulika and Mandi and the lagna lord Moon is placed in the 12th house, a dusthana with 4th and 11th lord functional malefic Venus. The dispositor of the lagnesha Mercury is placed in the 2nd house with 3 malefics Mars, Sun and Ketu and aspected by Rahu and Saturn. The comprehension of language comes from Mercury as it is the karaka for speech. Its affliction being the dispositor of the lagnesha and in the 2nd house (speech) with the 2nd lord also getting afflicted caused the illness.

Examine the 4th house and the Moon for mothers death 4th house is empty and the 4th lord Mercury is placed in the 3rd house with 3rd lord Venus, 6th lord Sun and lagna lord Jupiter. Association of 6th lord Sun does bring trouble to the house it is placed and the planets it conjoined. In addition, the lagna is hemmed between two dire malefics Mars and Saturn with Ketu placed in the Lagna aggravating the trouble. During the dasa of Saturn, Mars and Ketu and antardasa of weak planets the troubles (flaws) in the horoscope will manifest. Mother died in Saturn- Mercury 15 Apr 2014 Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhva cint v3 35
Examine the 4th house and the Moon for mothers death 4th house has retrograde Saturn causing affliction to the 4th house. 4th lord is the Moon and is placed in the 10th house Capricorn with 2nd and 7th lord Maraka Venus. There is an exchange between Saturn and Moon making the yoga between 4th and 10th lord very strong. Saturn is the dispositor of the 4th lord which is afflicting the 4th house and is hemmed between Ketu and Gulika/ Mandi. Moon being the karaka is also afflicted by Sun and Rahu on either side. According to the shattrimsa-sama dasa, the mother died in Sun and Rahu, afflicting the 4th lord Moon. Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhva cint v3

Examine the 9th house and the Sun for fathers death The 9th house is afflicted by Rahu and the 9th lord Mercury is placed in the 2nd house Scorpio, an enemy sign with two malefics Saturn and Sun. However, since Sun is the karaka for father, its placement with Mercury gives him support. Although Saturn is the yogakaraka, it still shows his malefic nature by afflicting the planets it conjoins. It is placed very close to Mercury compared to the Sun. The dispositor of 9th lord Merc is well placed in own sign (Mars) and exaltation (Ketu) and will try to bring social help to the native when in trouble. Father died in Mercury-Saturn shattrimsa-sama dasa. Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhva cint v3

The degree shown here are the upper bounds. For instance 3 degree of Moon mean that Moon should be in between >2 to <=3 degree. Thus Moon in 20 0 1 to 30 0 0 will be considered to be in deep exaltation point. Thus planets in 00 01 will be considered to be in 10 and planets in 290 0 1 will be considered to be 30.

This will give very auspicious and delightful result as the planet has a sense of achievement. The best qualities of the planets such as charity, generosity, good will etc. manifest and even the worst malefic give good results.
The planets feel as if they are at home. They feel very comfortable and give results pertaining to the natural likes and dislikes. They give results pertaining to good health and comfort. The planet is happy as if it has visited its best friends house. It is full of energy and likes to have fun and frolic. It will give results pertaining to happiness, joy, fun and frolic.

The planet is in the house of a person who is neither a friend nor an enemy. This person does not help the planet in achieving its objectives. The planet feels hesitant in asking for any help or favor.
The planet is stranded in a enemies house and is incapable doing its activities. The enemy will keep obstructing the activities of the planet, however, the planet choses to bear with it instead of breaking free. This is akin to the bandits breaking in to the planets home and start torturing the planet and its family. The planet will be anxious to get out of the situation and will keep trying very hard to keep him and his family safe.

This is akin to planet getting stranded in a terrorist den. The planet will try all means to get out of the situation even if it means conspiring against the terrorists. This shows that even a very good natured person can become wicked if pushed to the limits. However, natural benefics will fight for selfpreservation, while natural malefics will conspire to finish all his enemies.
The planet is extremely angry as it is completely eclipsed by someone very powerful and becomes very destructive. Unless there are benefic influences to calm the planet down, the planet will bring havoc in the life of native through battles and conflicts.

At this point one need to keep in mind that planets get into war when they are placed within 10 from each other. They represent a state of fight and can represent fight in the area of the bhva affected by that.

There are other complex computations of the state of planets which affect both the quantity as well as quality of results. There are other avasthas such as Sayanadi avasthas which needs to be understood for more accurate predictions.

Additional points: Some opine that similar results happen even when the said bhva lord is placed in the 8th from the lagna. In my humble opinion depending on whether the bhva lord is placed in the 8th from the bhva or from the lagna, different matters suffer destruction. When the bhva lord is placed in the 8th from the bhva, the relations ruled by the bhva such as 4th for mother, 5th for children suffer in life, however, when the bhva lord is placed in the 8th from the lagna, the native suffers due the matters of the said bhva. For instance, if the 5th lord is placed in the 8th from the 5th, the children suffer health troubles or troubles in their career etc. (depending on their indications), however if the 5th lord is placed in the 8th from the lagna, although the children prosper (8th is 4th from the 5th and it is mentioned before that placement of the lord in the Kendra from the concerned bhva gives auspicious results), the native has to suffer on account of children due to conflicts etc.

When reckoned from the bhva, it shows our ability to apply intelligence pertaining to the bhva. If well placed, this shows that the person has right resources and he/ she is capable of making right decisions.
When reckoned from the Lagna, it represents the results we get pertaining to the bhva.
bhva lord is well placed from Lagna
Very fortunate (protected) Wrong decisions The results are good. Right decisions The results are also good.
Zoran, SJC Serbia If a bhva lord is well placed from the bhva itself, then we can well use intelligence related to that bhva, our decisions are good. If a bhva lord is well placed from Lagna, then such decisions are good for us, whatever the resources of a bhva are. For example, take Mithuna Lagna and Buddha in 4th house. From the 4th bhva it is well placed as a lord, so our decisions related to home, property, place where we live are good. We will choose a nice house, at a right time and money. However, whether such a house will be good for us, make us happy and prosperous, is seen from the position of the 4th lord from Lagna. In this case , it is both, so good.

denoted by that house lord of which be in the 8th from it, first gets life and loses it soon
afterwards.
Example 1 Libra lagna, Jupiter in 10th Cancer exalted, Mars in the 7th in own house. The younger brother will be short
lived. Here 3rd lord is in the 8th from its house although well placed from the lagna and aspected by Karaka
Mars. The 3rd lords good placement caused birth of the younger brother, but the life is short due to placement of the lord of younger brother in 8th from its house. Example 2 Aquarius Lagna, Mars in 10th in own sign Scorpio, Saturn in 8th aspecting Mars. The younger brother will be short lived. Mars is well placed promising younger brother but its placement in 8th from its house and aspect by 1st rate malefic Saturn only bestow short life.

Impact of Dusthanas
Jataka Parijata When a bhva lord is placed in the dusthanas (6,8,12) or the dusthana lords are placed in a bhva, inauspicious results are given pertaining to that bhva. However, the inauspicious results are greatly curtailed and auspicious results are given when the bhva lord is aspected by natural benefics.
Additional notes: According to Prasna-marga chapter 14, 8th is consider as the most inauspicious. According to Prasna-marga and Jataka Desha Marga, the bhva or planets aspected by
the dusthana lords are afflicted as well. Thus if a bhva lord is conjoined or aspected by
dusthana lords, there will be some inauspicious results pertaining to that bhva.

Dusthanas
Mantreswara If the lord of a bhva is placed in the dusthana (6th, 8th or 12th) from the lagna, the bhva is destroyed and the native suffer seriously due such destruction.
Rider: The concerned bhva is protected from destruction if the it is aspected by natural benefics.
Phaladeepika 6.57 A bhva is also destroyed if they are conjoined with the dusthana lords. If however, the bhva is aspected by natural benefics, the bhva is protected.
Additional notes: If the bhva lord is placed in the 6th house, the destruction happens due to enmity, battles, shad-ripus (6 vices) etc; if placed in the 8th house, the destruction happens due to own fault (nija dosa), debts, no return from the efforts etc. if the bhva lord is placed in the 12th house the bhva suffer due to excessive expenditure (vyaya), forced relinquishment etc.

Placement of benefics
Phaladeepika 15.18 To judge the effect of a planet see if where the planet is placed from the Lagna; whether it is placed in a friendly sign or own sign or exalted or inimical sign.
According to Satyacharya if saumya planets (natural benefics) are placed in a bhva they bestow auspicious results related to the bhva and placement of natural malefic cause destruction to the bhva thus bringing out inauspicious results.
This is reversed in the case of 6th, 8th and 12th house.
Additional notes: Placement of benefics in the dusthanas manifests the auspicious results of the dusthana bhva. However, the natural and functional significations of the benefics may get affected unless they are strong and aspected by other benefics. Affliction of benefics in dusthanas cause tremendous harm to their natural and functional significations.
15 Apr 2014 Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhva cint v3 89
Placement of malefics
Phaladeepika 15.19 If malefics are placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house from the Lagna, they intensify the evil effects of those houses.
Benefics in these houses cause the destruction of evil signified by these houses.
Although the placement of natural benefics alleviates the evil affect of the Trika houses, they themselves get afflicted. This means that although they (natural benefics) gives auspicious results related to the dusthanas they give inauspicious results related to their natural significations and ownership.
Illustration: Say for Leo Lagna if the 2nd lord Mercury is placed in the 6th house Capricorn, the native will be freed from conflicts and enmity; however the signification of the 2nd house namely family and wealth suffer badly. The ill results of the 2nd lords placement in the 6th are felt most if there are no benefic placements or aspect on the 2nd house.

Tripod of strength
Phaladeepika 15.6 The native suffers on account of the significations of a bhvaa. If the bhva, the bhva lord and the bhva karaka are weak. b. If the bhva, the bhva lord and the bhva karaka are hemmed between natural malefics or conjoined with or aspected by them c. If 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 12th from the concerned bhva is conjoined with natural malefic.
Additional notes: While the 4th, 8th and 12th from a bhva is the moksha trikona and controls the happiness, the 5th and 9th from the bhva controls the blessings of Laxmi. Natural malefic placed in such position cause suffering due to lack of bliss and blessings.

bhva karaka
Phaladeepika 15.17 For judgement of any bhvas the karakas are equally important as the bhva and the bhva lord.
If the bhva and the bhva lord is afflicted but the karaka is strong, the signification of the house is still salvaged by the karaka. On the contrary if the bhva and the lord is strong by the karaka is weak or afflicted, the signification of the bhva suffers.
Hence it is important to take all the three factors into consideration namely the bhva, the bhva lord and the karaka. Affliction of one of the three factors can cause reduction of auspiciousness regarding the significations of the bhva. The karaka of the houses starting from Lagna are (1) the Sun, (2) Jupiter, (3) Mars, (4) the Moon and Mercury, (5) Jupiter, (6) Saturn (7) Venus, (8) Saturn, (9) the Sun and Jupiter, (10) Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn, (11) Jupiter and (12) Saturn.

Jyotish Samhita
(Acharya Bhaskarakananda Lohani- Agrahayan publications) Quoting from an ancient Brigu Samhita

Sanjay Rath Anitya Karaka is called Rasi pati or sign dispositor. It is the doer of the work of the bhavesha. Comments The responsibility of the bhavesha is to protect the bhva and that of Anitya karaka is to facilitate interaction with the external world and getting help from outside so that bhva is capable of upholding its responsibilities (of protecting the bhva)

those significations. For instance Health is seen from the lagna, but Moon controls the
physical health. Where Sun governs the level of energy and vitality. If Lagna, Lagna lord and Moon all three are afflicted, then the native will have many sicknesses from young age. However, if Sun is well placed in the horoscope, aspect the lagna and/ or Lagnesha, then the native will have vitality to carry out his work in spite of ill-health. The list is not comprehensive and meant to be a good starting point.

He learned to talk so late that his parents feared that he was mentally retarded, not until he was three, and was not fluent until he was nine. For awhile, he was considered subnormal because of his slow development, and his teachers were continually saying that he would never amount to anything. He had begun his education in 1884 at a Catholic school near his home, but in 1889 was transferred from the school to the rigid discipline at Lluitpold Gymnasium. He was kicked out of that school for disrupting class but by the time he was 13 he had read Euclid's geometry and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, two major influences on him.

No one is placed in the 4th but aspected by host of planets from the 10th bhva. Of them Saturns and Suns aspect is not encouraging. The aspect of other planets Mercury, Venus will promote various activities of the bhva.
Bhavesha: Mercury is well placed in the 10th house a Kendra but debilitated. However, the debility is cancelled by Venuss placement in that sign and Mercurys placement in the 10th from the Lagna.

The nitya karaka represent the gods will and represent the destiny of the baby in the womb.
The anitya karaka represent the social support.
There is constant interaction of the native (bhavesha) with the god (karaka). Following can be interpreted from the interaction: a. Count from Bhavesha to Karaka (Effort): Bhavesha is the focus here, this shows what the native will do (desires, direction of intelligence) pertaining to the bhva.
b. Count from Karaka to Bhavesha (Outcome): The Karaka is in focus here and show what god will give in return.
The bhavesha should not be placed in the Dusthanas from the Karaka. Placement of bhavesha in the 12th from the karaka shows suffering due to loss, however, placement in the 2nd from the karaka is a very auspicious position showing that the karaka (god) nourishing the native with all resources.

bhva/Bhavesha-karaka sambandha
Zoran, SJC Serbia: Karaka is the final authority of a bhva. We may apply our intelligence very well, yet the luck may never come. So there are two factors: 1. Relationship of bhva and a karaka 2. Relationship of a bhva lord and karaka If a bhva lord and karaka are in good relationship, we will make such decisions which will be supported by God, and our attitude is very good. It is the sign of a good karma related to that area of life. In opposite case it is akin to a curse.
Illustration: If Shukra is in kendra to 7th lord an attitude towards sexuality and partner is normal. If Shukra is conjoined 7th lord the sexuality is pronounced. If Shukra is in 5th or 9th house from the 7th lord too many rules or regulations may spoil the relationship, though the persons relationship is purely based on purva punya or bhagya. However, the time factor becomes too important and a person may want a sex at one time, while the partner at another.

Introduction
When two planets conjoin they undergo transformation. For instance when a person is with ones mother his/ her behaviour or disposition will be very different from when he/ she is alone and similarly the disposition will be very different when the person is with a dear friend. Hence, once should not treat them as they are individually placed. There are many aspect to this transformation. One important aspect is all planets carry their rasi and bhva significations in addition to their own natural significations. When planets conjoin they bring forth their rasi and bhva significations in the conjunction and influence each other. For instance we understand that Jupiter gets exalted in Moons sign Cancer. So when Jupiter is
placed with Moon, its behaviour will be akin to his placement in Cancer. So when Jupiter and
Moon conjoin the energies of Cancer prevail. Lets say they conjoined in Capricorn; such Jupiter and Moon combination cant be equivalent to either Jupiter in Capricorn or Moon in Capricorn. Conjunction of planet can be compared to a soup whereby although we can identify which vegetable (similar to planets) are present, we cant distinctly identify the
individual tastes of the vegetables distinctly. Its the combination of tastes of each vegetable
which defines the taste.

bhva as Lagna
Phaladeepika 15.20 Whichever bhva is under consideration, reckon that bhva as the lagna and judge the results of the house as it is judged from the lagna.
For instance if the results of the daughter-in-law need to be judged then consider the 5th house as the lagna and take the 7th therefrom for the daughterin-law.
Take another example, if the wifes wealth need to be judged, then considering the 7th house as the lagna, the 2nd therefrom need to be judged for that. Thus any bhva can be considered as lagna and the results of 12 bhvas can be ascertained therefrom.

Considering a bhva as lagna for a relation, the other relations can be derived by counting others bhva therefrom. For instance considering 7th as the lagna of the spouse, the 3rd from the 7th i.e, 9th house signify spouses siblings. The relationship need not be blood relations. For instance 3rd house rules cousins and good friends who are like brothers; 4th rules anyone whom we treat as mother, 5th rules anyone whom we treat as our children such as students, followers, 9th rules anyone we treat like our father.

Additional notes: One need to combine the techniques of considering bhva as lagna as well as Karaka as lagna to arrive at fairly accurate results. For example, Fathers mother need to be checked from both 4th from the 9th house as well as 4th from the Sun. This method gives very accurate results in the divisional charts.

From the 5th of the Sun fathers wisdom and status need to be judged. The 6th house from the Sun should be judged for his vices, enemies and the diseases. The 7th from the Sun should be judged for fathers relationships (sexual relationships) and business acumen should be judged.

Venus
7th house: spouse Wife is seen in the 7th from the Lagna 8th house: Death 8th and 12th bhva from Lagna shows when we will die
7th house and lord from Venus determine the place and direction from where the spouse will come from. 8th and 12th bhva from Saturn shows our attitude and experiences when we die. The responsibility of Saturn is to make us renounce the world (Sanyasa). 12H from Saturn indicate those which we must lose to go towards Sanyasa.

There are some difference in opinions among other savants. For instance many believe that Saturn in the 8th house gives long life. More will be covered in lessons on effect of placement of Planets in bhva.

are governed by Vishnu representing Karma Yoga. The result of this yoga comes after hardwork. Mutual Trikona Planets placed in trine to each other behave similar to each other as Trine represent same
nature (same tattva). The result of this yoga is based on sharing the fruits and comes due to
blessings of Laxmi who governs the Trine

Case 1
One of the greatest men of Europe; born in humble circumstances as a blacksmiths son; often starved without food; was a great revolutionary; has a sudden downfall and a violent death. Examine Lagna for the birth circumstances; Kendra and trine for rise in life.
Lagna: See planets in Lagna see Lagna lord see the karaka for Lagna see aspect on the Lagna see the houses from the Lagna.
Rahu is placed in the Lagna Libra in a friendly sign. Lagna lord Venus is placed in the 9th house with 3rd and 6th lord Jupiter. Venus when placed with Jupiter becomes very strong and the sign is akin to Pisces. In addition, Jupiter aspects the lagna from the 9th house. This is a very beneficial placement causing overall success in life. Why born in humble family? The karaka for birth circumstances Moon is placed in the 8th afflicted by malefics Mars and Saturn and the Lagna lord is placed in the 12th from the resource karaka Sun, indicating scarcity of resources.

Case 2
Father died in the 2nd year, great strides in life; two wives; lost two sisters early. Examine Lagna for the birth circumstances; 9th for father; 3rd for siblings.
bhva: See planets in bhva see bhva lord see the karaka for bhva see aspect on the bhva see the houses from the bhva.
bhva: See planets in bhva see bhva lord see the karaka for bhva see aspect on the bhva see the houses from the bhva. 9th house Pisces with no planet. The lord Jupiter is placed in the Lagna defining the focus of the natives life (that is revolvi ng around matters of father). This is a good placement of the 9th lord which is also aspecting the Lagna. Why father died early? See the karaka! The karaka Sun is placed in the 12th house of loss (also in Marana Karaka sthana) showing that the native will suffer due to loss of father (or father going away). Sun is placed with friend Mars but afflicted due to placement with Venus as Venus debilitates Sun. Sun is very close to the bhva madhya, so its placement in the 12th will certainly fructify. Looking at the kendra and trikona from the 9th house, Mars and Saturn are placed in Kendra, Moon is placed in a dusthana and Ketu is placed in a trikona. These planets do not support the 9th house. During the period of Sun-Moon, the native lost the father.

Case 3
A great politician and equal to a king in status; saved Europe from anarchy; humane and tactful.
Examine 5th bhva and Karaka Sun for the power and position.
bhva: See planets in bhva see bhva lord see the karaka for bhva see aspect on the bhva see the houses from the bhva.
Lagna has Moon showing fame and the lord Mercury has gone to the 2nd house although afflicted by Mars and Sun (Aries) showing battles in life. Lagna lord Mercurys conjunction with Sun makes the native very fortunate. 5th house Scorpio is empty but its lord Mars is well placed both from the Lagna and itself. Its placement with the Lagna lord makes the theme of the natives life revolving around it. It is also placed with the karaka of the 5th house for power and authority Sun, making it very strong.

Case 4
Female, suffered seriously from smallpox in the 8th year and also from dropsy. Hot constitution, superior airs, died in her 14th year.
Examine Lagna, 6th and 8th house for health and 8th house for longevity.
bhva: See planets in bhva see bhva lord see the karaka for bhva see aspect on the bhva see the houses from the bhva.
Lagna has exalted Moon showing fame and high ideals while the Lagna lord Venus is placed in the 7th (Kendra) in a neutral sign. In addition, the Lagna lord is placed in the 2nd from the Karaka Sun (resources) and 7th from the Karaka Moon (health). Thus the Lagna is fairly strong. So why such negative experiences?
Lets check 6th and 8th houses for diseases. 6th house has heavy affliction due to eclipse of Sun by Rahu. The 8th house is placed with Malefic, 7th and 12th lord Mars. The supporters of the Lagna are Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. While the troublemakers are Rahu, Sun, Ketu, Mars and Saturn. The small-pox could have happened in Moon-Rahu-Mars and the native died in MoonVenus as Venus is a very strong maraka being lord of 6th with 2nd lord Mercury in the 7th house.

Case 5

Lagna has eclipse combination with the lord Venus placed in the 2nd house with the 2nd lord Maraka Mercury. Lagna is also aspected by Yoga-karaka Saturn who is conjoined with 3rd lord Moon. Lets examine the 7th bhva for marital experiences. 7th house has Ketu and the 7th lord Mars is well placed from Lagna and 7th. However Mars is placed in a enemys sign but it is well placed from Karaka Venus. The Karaka Venus is placed in the 8th from the bhva showing negative experiences related to marriage. The supporters of 7th house are Moon, Mars and Jupiter. The trouble markers in the order of reducing maleficence are Sun, Rahu, Saturn, Venus, Mercury and Ketu. The husband died in probably Venus-Sun. Why? When reckoned from 7th, Venus is a Maraka and Sun in afflicted in the maraka bhva.
