Concerningthe SeventhHouse
The 7th housemainlyrefersto marriage,wife or husband
and maritalhappiness.
Marriageis a landmarkin life. lt is an institutionfounded
on love and affection. But it is also a most complicatedstructure made up of a whole seriesof heterogeneous
subjective
and objectivefactors. Since we areconcerned only with the
psycho-astrological
aspectsof marriage,we shalt exclude the
objectivefactorsof legal and socialsignificancein our study.
Marriageis not an institutionfor brute sense.gratification.
It is not a civil agreementthat affectsonly the partiesto it. lt
is the basisof the family and its dissolutjon as well as formation is a mattr of social interest. lt is the mould out of which
the future generationcomesout.
ln our own country, marriagehas beenconsictered
a sacrarnentand comprehendsthe equalityof the partnerin respectof
Dharma(rightconduct),Artha (financialposition), Kama (sex
telations)and Moksha(final emancipation).

lf the Moon and Rahu combinein the 7th, life will be intolerable with trouble from ghostsand goblinsas well.

skill in danceand drama. lf fortified, successon the stageor
cinemacan also be predicted. lf aff licted, troublo through

will lack physical attraction, the couple assuming indifferent

lf Saturn is afflicted by the Sun, stability of rnarriageis
threatened. More than one marriageis also likelybut this may
also proveunsuccessful. Jupiter aspecting Saturnin the 7th

or strong Moon, marriagemay take placewith a widow; but
if the Moon is further afflicted, intrigues wilh servant'maids
and widows or an old decreplt, lecheroushusband. lf strong
Saturn is afflicted by Rahu, marriage is with a well'to-do
but irrascible, temporamental husband or wife. lf Satuln
is strong in his own constellation,the partnerwill latetbecome
pious and devoted. lf Mercuryafflicts Saturn,partner may be
cowardlyand deceitful; but if Mercuryis beneficiallydisposed,
marriagewill be with one highly educated,refined and learned.
The mere occurence of these combinationsshouldnot
allow one to jump to conclusions.The aspectsof other planets,
not only as natural beneficsor malefics, but also as functional
benefics or maleficswith referenceto the Lagna must be taken
into account. The strengthand associationsof the katakaand
ol the 7th houseand 7th lord from the Moon must also be duly
weighed before making an assessmentof the quality of
'marriage.
This is especially so where the chastityof a girl or the
questionof the faithfulnessof the husbansis concerned. Such
delicateissuesmust be resolvedonly aftel a very carefuland
diligent scrutinyof both horoscopes.

Nature of the Rosults

The
principles enunclated in regard to the six
Bhavasin the first volumehold good in judging the seventh
Bhavaalso.
During the Dasa of the ?th tordwho is well placed,the
nativewill en;oy the companyof his wife and many pleasures
with her. He will acquire new and colourful apparel,jewels,
furnishings,bedsand be healthy and radiant. He may go on
pleasures-jaunts,excursionsandtravel abroad. Auspicious
celebrationslike marriagesand similarfestivitieswill take place
during the Dasa.

Timing Marriage
There areseveral metlrodssuggested
for timing marriage
in classicalworks,
The lord of the sig,r occupied by the 7th lord or that of
the sign occupied by the 7th lord in Navai-nsaare capableof

significatorof the 7th house, and the Moon can also give
marriagein their periods. The strongestof tlrese lordsgives
marriagein his Dasa. The lord of the 7th house, if he asso.
ciates with Venus, can also give marriage in his Dasa or
Bhukti. The 2nd lord or the ruler of the sign occupiedby ihe
in
2nd lord in Navamsais also capableof conferring maruiage

Marriageis also possibrein the periodof the pranetwith the
7th lord or the planetoccupyingthe 7th house.
Anothermethod is to add the longitudeof the lords of
the Lagnaand 7th house. when Jupitertransits tfre resurtant
Rasior its trines, it is favourabrefor rnarriage.The resuttant
obtained by adding the Moon's rongitudeto that of the 7th
lord or its trines when transited by Jupiter can also give
marriage.
Althoughthereare severalplanetsenumdrated
as marriage
causing planetsin their periods, due considerationmust be
paid to delay causedby other factors. Saturn.saspect

7th houseand 7th lord both frorn Lagnaand the Moon and
on Venusdelaysmarriage if the Dasalord is not very strong.
The associationor aspectof the lord of the 6th, gth or 12th
on the 7th house, 7th lord and karaka also rules out early
marriage. Primary importancemust be given to the natal
positionsand Dasas and only secondary consideration
to
transitingplanets.
Loss of Married partner
Lossof wife and more particularlyof the husband is of
serious consequence
in our society. Besidesthe emotional
void createdby the death of either partner,n'rany other factors
of nearlyequal significance
demand importance. The economicalaspect apart, other practical questionssuch as running

But in Navamsahe is afflictedby Rahuand exaltedSaturn.
Kalatrakaraka: Venusas 2nd and 9th lord is beneficiaily
disposedin a friendlysign in a quadrant. He is aspectedby a
benefic as well as 7th lord Jupiter and by Mars, a malefic
being the 3rd and 8th rord. Venus is srightly bremishedbut
quite fortified by Jupiter's aspect.
Consideredfrom the Moon.. The 7th house is Taurus, a
beneficsign, aspectedby the Moon and Mars and occupied
by Ketu. Mars, by himself, would not be a matefic but his
associationwith the Moon and Rahu affricts him. The 7th
lord Venusis quite favourablydisposedas analysedabove.
Conclusion.. The 7th house is quite stronglydisposedbut
the malefic influencesare not negligibre. The strengthof ths
7th lord Jupiter gives a strong-willed husband while
the

21

afflictions result in temperamental
clashes but the prosonce
of Saturn in the 7th and Jupiter and Venusin murual aspect
tesult in a stable marriagewith deep attschmentbetwecn the
couple.
Saturn's presencein the 7th house as the 6th lord causes
delay in marriage.The Dasas operating during th period of
tnariageable age and afterare of Venus,the Surr,the Moon,
Marsand Rahu.
Recollectingthe periods propitious for marriage, (1) the
lords of the Rasi and Navamsaoccupied by the 7th lord,
(2) Venus, (3) the Moon, (4) the lord of sign occupiedby the
2nd lord, (5) thelOth and (6)gth lordsandfinally, (7) the 7th
lord or occupantof the 7th housecan give marriagein respective orderin theirperiods.
The following planetsinChaft No. 1 would therefore be
ompoweredto give marriageirr their periods:1, The lords of the Rasi and Navamsa occupiedby the
7th lord-Jupiter, Jupiter
2. Venus
3. The Moon
4. The lord of the sign occupiedby 2nd lord VenusMercury
5. The 1Othlord-Mercury
6. The 9th lord-Venus

Dasa that cdn give ,mar;iageis of Venus. JupiterDasa and
Saturn Dasa operate very late in life. Thc Moon's period
also comes rather late in life, Saturn in thc 7th, no doubt,

delays maniage but the strength of karaka Venus and 7th

lord Jupiter cannot push it off too far. Venuswould, therefore,
be empoweredto give marriagein his Dasa. Of the sub-periods
of Venus,Jupiter,Saturn,Mercuryandthe Moon, Venuswould
be ruled out as being too early. Jupiter is the strongestof the
remainingfour contestantsboth by aspect, positionanb lordship. Marriage occurred in Jupiter Bhukti, Venus Dasain
A p r i l 1 9 6 1.
Earlyor delayedmarriage is determinedaccordingto tho
times. At one time in India, marriageswere celebratedof
boys and girls at the tender age of 5 or 6 years. Later,as
times changedmarriageswere celebrated a little later, perhaps
at 10 ot 12 years. In the 1960's, marriageat 25 was considereddelayedwhile today it would be quite in order. Interpretationof a chart must always be made keeping in mind the
background,period and societyto which the native belongs.
The SeventhHouse.' The 7th houseAquariusis occupied
by VargottamaKetu in Chan No. 2. lt is aspectedby 7th lord
Saturn, benefic Jupiter and 4th and 9th lord, Yogakaraka,
Mars. Saturn is 7th lord and his aspect on the 7th is a
stabilising factor. Jupiter and Marsare functionalbenefics
and their aspectsfortify the 7th house. Ketu should give the
resultsof sign dispositorSaturnor of Mars,both of whom are
beneficiallydisposed. The 7th househas no afflictions.
The SeventhLord.' The 7th lord Saturn is placedin the
1Othhousein a beneficsign Taurushemmed inbetweenbenefics, the Moon on one side and Jupiter and Venuson tho
other. The 7th lord is well placed.
Kalatrakaraka: Venus is in a f riendly sign very close to
beneficJupiter and subjectto a slight papakaratriyoga caused
by Saturnand the Sun. But this maleficyoga is balancedby
Jupiter's presenceand the fact the Sun and Saturn are but the

The 7th lord being free from afflictionsand in a benefic

a happy marriedlife. Ketu, fortifiedin the 7th, is good but

moments of touchiness.However the combined aspect of

tt

How to JudgeI HorotcoPo

exaltedSaturn and 9th lord Mercury is powerful enough to

ward off any problems.
Conclusions: The native is married to a chaste and
devoted wife. This is particularlyevident from the aspectof a
blemishlessVenusas karaka and 7th lord aspectingthe 7th
house.
The nativemarried in May 1977. The following planets
are capableof giving marriagein their petiods: (1) The lords of the Rasiand Navamsa occupiedby the
7th lord Mars and the Sun
(2) Venus
(3) The Moon
(4) The lord of the sign occupiedby the 2nd lord Jupiter
yr'e.,Mercury
(5) The 1Othlord the Sun
(6) The 9th lord the Moon
(7) The 7th lord Venus, no planetsoccupy the 7th, and
the Sun as the planet aspectingthe 7th house.
Of these factorsMercury would seem appropriatesince
oll other Dasasbeginvery late. But MercuryDasa itselfbegins
rsther late in life, that is, after33 years. The chart has no
indicationsfot a late marriage.So, the planets ln association
with Merculy,that is, the Moon and Saturnwould be the next
choice. The Moon Dasaoperates vety late while Satutn Dasa
occursduring youth. Saturn would therefore be capable of
giving marriage.VenusBhukti can be fruitful sincehe is the

slightlybetter placedbeing with karakabut malefic 3rd and
8th lord Venus and 6th lord the Sun. The 7th house from the
Moon also suffersaffliction.
Conclusion: The native was marriedin Septembet1972
in Venus Dasa, Venus Bhukti. Applying the principlesol

80

How to Judgea Horoscopo

timing marriagethis is quite in order. In August 1973 discord

between the nativeand her husbandbegan. The couple separatedin June 1974. Rahuand the Moon in the 7th are affticted by Mars and Saturn, two powerful malefics for Virgo
Ascendant, causing the husbandto dissipate his energiesin
extra-maritalaffairs with women of itl-repute. All factors
relatingto the 7th house beingafflicted with no redeeming
beneficialinfluencesdeprived the native completelyof any
maritalhappiness.
The SeventhHouse: The seventh house is occupiedby
Ketu and aspectedadversely by Mars in Chart No. S. Mars as
5th lord is a beneficbut he is in the 12th house aspecting the
7th house by his Bth house aspectwhich is very bad.

Conclusion.' Due to the occupationof Venus as 7th lord
and as Kalatrakaraka
of common sign, the native marrieda
secondtime after the death of the first. Both marriageswere
fairly happy. The 7th lord Mars' associationwitlr Ketu gives
tiffs betweenpartnersand a touchy wife. Saturn in theTth from
Venusis not so harmfulas he would ordinarilybe becausehe
is a Yogakaraka.Jupiter'saspecton the 7th lord Mars was also

with two other planets. Yet the native of Chart No. 8 has had
only one marriage and a stableone. This is because, Venus,
although, as karakain the 7th, is not good, herein this case
the stigma is countered by Venusbeing Yogakaraka.Further
he is in a fixed sign indicatingfixity of affections.The 7th lord
is aspected by Lagna lord Saturn. Fromthe Moon also, the

desirable. Mars as 7th lord aspectingthe 7th houseprotectsit.

7th lord is in the 11th with Rahu.Thisresultsin a husbandwho
was already marriedto another at the time of marriagewith

partner who is well-off but Rahu's presence makes him
immoral. The aspect of Venuson the 7th house is not very

Mars and Venus in Marriage
An Indianscholar,noticingthe high degreeof stability
and
harmonyin marriagegin lndia, began coltectingcase_hisiories
of marriedcouples. He managedto get 603 cases for study.
The age-groupselectedwas 30 to 40. All the people
con.
cerned were born between 1931_40and married between
1955-60. The economic backgroundwas mostly rurat
and
agriculturalthough 22/o of the case-histories

who derivedtheir riverihoodfrom commerciarand industriar

was found that divorcesand separationswere about 6fo

that47/" was positive,42/o neutrat and 11/o negative. By
positive he means very successfulmarriages. By neutral
he
means a fair degree of harmony in domestic lives. And
by

negativehe meansdisharmoniousfamily lives. His conclusion

was that these figures proved the efficacy of astrology in
marital settlements. The system of matrimoniatmatching of
horoscopes,invariablyresortedto by parentspriorto the settling
of marriages,ensutes to a celtain extent their stability and
harmony.
In our experience,apart from the other astrologicalconsiderations,
the mutualdispositions
of Mars and Venus are to
be carefullystudied. lt cannotbe a coincidencethat divorce,
separationand crimesof passionincreasewhenever there is a
conjunctionof Venusand Mars, especiallywhen the constellations involved are those of malefic planets. Children born
when thereis a Venus-Marsconjunctionshouldbe broughtup
in a disciplinedmannerand taughtto avoid dissipatinghabits
of immediate pleasure. The adverse effects of conjunction
should be made to expressthemselvesthrough constructive
channelsif Jupiter aspectsthe combinationor is in a quadrant
therefrom.
Venus is associatedwith many fascinatingaspectsof life.
He rules the wife, conveyance,sex-harmonyand union, art,
attachment,family happiness,marriagein general, vitality,
fertility, physical beauty and friendliness. Mars aboundsin
energy,aggressiveness,
fortitude, driving force and in association of Venus,a tendencyto excessof sensualgratification. lt
is thereforenecessarythat in the horoscopeof a couple, MarsVenusconjunctionor oppositionshouldhavethebeneficsteadying effectof a favourabledisposition of Jupiter; or in the

When Venusand Mars are involvedin adverse aspects,difficulty throughexcesses

Some General Observations
When Venus, Mars and Jupiter in one horoscopeare
situated in the other horoscopein a trine or 3 ancl 11 posi_
tions, that is, if in the boy's horoscopeVenusis in Taurus
and in the girl's horoscope,in Cancer or Virgo, it is a
favourable position. When the Sun and the Moon have
simifar harmoniouspositions, except2 and 12 (dwirdwadasa),
there is usually a strong altachment.Here again if the
husband'sSun is in Cancer and the wife.s is in Virgo,the
needed harmony exists. When the Sun and the Moon are
disposedas suggestedabovebut Mars in one caseis in a sign,
which happensto be the 12th from Venusin the otherhoroscope, attachmentexists, but there cannotbe normalhappiness in their private lives.lf Venus in one horoscopeis in a
sign occupied by Saturn in the other a seriousand industrious partner is indicated.Mars in the 7th, unaspected
by
benefics, indicates f requent quarrels reading to misunderstandings.Saturn in the gth aspectedby Mars (especially
4th or 8th houseaspect) is not conduciveto mutualunderstanding. saturn in the 7th confers stability in the marriage
but the husbandor wife manifestscoldnessand not warmth.

lf certainafflictionsare presentin one horoscope,it is said
they can be mitigatedby looking for a partner whose horoscopehas similaraf{lictions.
One of the most misunderstoodand misappliedastrological dicta is the one relatingto the so-calledevil of Mars (Kuja
Dosha).

from the Ascendantor the Moon or Venus) in the horoscope

in 2, 12, 4, 7 and 8 is in ascendingorder. tn assessingtho
quantumof dosha,Bhavasand not Rasis must be ta'ken into
account. The doshaof Mars is said to get neutralised
or minimisedin the followingcircumstances.

Scorpio; when the 7th is otherthan Capricornand Cancer,the
doshais given riseto. Mars becomesevil in the Bth in ail signs

no dosha whatever in Leo and Aquarius. The dosha is counteredby the
conjunctionof Mars and Jupiter or Mars and the Moon.

The Doshais not absolute. lts intensitycan vary not only

nativowill gain in religiouslearningand piety. Somepost or
seat of authority may be thrust on him with all its attendant
paraphernalia.lf afflictedby malefics,the nativemay resoltto
vicious acts clandestinely. Such acts would include rape,
adultery,conterfeitingof money(the 12th houseis the house
of secrecysnd deceit. The Btlrhouse signifies suddengains

Theseresultsare general. They must be modifiedon the
strengthof the Ascendant,the Moon and Dasas in operation.
Whereresultspertainto criminal actsor unrighteous8cts, the
predictians must bs made only after taking into accountthe
strength of the Ascendant, the Moon and the 1oth house

native may be temptedto act in a certain manner but he will
overcomethe temptationand controlhimself. The act may be
nippedat the stateof mind and not allowedto manifestitself
in actionin sucha case.
Other lmportant Gombinations
lf the 8th houseis occupied by malefics, the nativedies
an unnatural deathsuch as suicide, murderor accident. lf
beneficsinfluence the 8th house,death will be nalural,that
is, through diseaseor old age. lf the 6th and 8th lordsare
related,death follows ill-health. lf the 6th house and 8th
house in this caseare severely afflicted, death comes after
prolonged sufferingas in the caseof a chronic disease.

Time and Fructification of the Resutts of tho Eighth

Bhava Determining Longevity
The longevityof a nativecan be determinedby different
methods. But accordinglo most classicalworks, it is not
possibleto determinethe span of rife before twerve years
after
birth. This is becausethe life of the new.born baby is regulated by the actions(karma)of its parents. lf the baby dies
within the firstfour yearsafter birth, it is said to be due to
the mother'sbad karma. Deathbetweenfour and eight years
is attributedto the bad actionsof the father. lf the child dies
between eight and twelve years,it is becauseof its own sins
from previouslives.
The correctdetermination
of longovityhas always been a
hard nut to crack. Thereare severalmethodsin vogue, both
astrologicaland astrologico-malhematical.
The marakavichara
(inquiry into death)on the basisof VimshottariDasa has, at
least in our humbleexperience,provedquite satisfactoryas it
enablesone to judge fairly correctly,the probablelength of
one's life on this planet. Of the mathematicalsystems,
Pindayurdaya
and Amsayurdaya,
especiallythe latter, seerns
to have receivedconsiderableattention from severalwellknown ancientwriters. Varahamihira
saysthat Satyacharya,s
view that the longevityconferredby a planet dependsupon
its Navamsapositionis in conformity with the views of the
majority of astrologicalwriters. The purely mathematical
methodsof longevitymust be applied to thousandsof horoscopesbefolea conclusioncan be arrivedat as to their workability. One should not reject these methods basing rhe
conclusions
on a small numberof instances. We have been
testingthesevariousmethodsand find some of them, particularlythe Amsayurdaya,
yield fairly approximateresults.

Coocerniogtbc Eighth Housc

The pindayu Method

Pindayuis also cailed Grahadattayurdaya
as it is the total
of the terms of life grantedby all the planetswhen in a state
of deep exaltation.
Eachplanet is supposedto give a certainterm of life when
it occupiesits deep exaltationpoint and half the period when
it occupiesits deep debilitation point. At intermediatepositions it givesthe periodequal to hatf the term plus the period
proportionateto the planet's distance from its debilitation
point.
The term of life given by each of the planets in its deep
exaltationis as follows : Sun-19 years
Moon-25 years
Mars-15 years
Mercury-l2 years
Jupiter-l5 years
Venus-2l years
Saturn-20 years
The sameplanets in debilitation give the foilowing terms : __
Sun-9 years6 rnonths
Moon-12 years6 months
Mars-7 years6 months
Mercury-6 years
Jupiter-7 years6 months

Theseare the termsof rife each pranetgives to the native,

conjunctionor by the aspectof malefics. But it is very lare

that we come acrosshoroscopes,
not affected in anyway by
adverseplanetarypositions. Out of thesetermscertaindeduc.
tions are to be made to substitutefor the evil aspectsand
other maleficinfluences. For this what is called Harana or
reductionis employed. There are various kinds of Haranas
which requirecarefulapplicationand which depend upon the
intengityof the evils in any particularhoroscope.
Fourkindsof Haranasof reductionsshould be appliecl.
They aro :
1. Chakrapatha
Harana,
2. Satruksehtra
Harana,
3. AstangataHarana,and
4, Krurodaya
Harana.
Chakrapatha Harana
The Lagnais the Ascendant. The 7th housefrom it or the
180th degreeis the Descenclant.The Descendant
is the horizon. The westwarddirectionfrom the Ascendantto the horizon cor/ersthe 12th, 1 1th, 1Oth, gth, 8th and 7th Bhavas.
Planetsfound within 180owest of the Ascendantundergothis
reduction,while planetswhich at birth are below the horizon,
i.e., occupyingthe first six Bhavasare exemptfrom this reduction. Thosethat ale nearestto the Lagnain its westerndirection lose a greatpart of their termsof life, while planetsat the
farthestdistancefrom tlre Ascendantare not subjectedto so
muclrloss. This reduction or Harana varies also with the
natureof the planet. In the caseof benefics,the amount of
Haranais half of what it is in the caseof malefics. The Moon,
Jupiter,Venusand well-associated
Mercuryare beneficswhile
the Sun, Mars,Saturnand badlyafflictedMercuryaremalefics.

eachof the houses.
Satrukshetra Harana
Harana
After the ChakrapathaHaranais made,Satrukshetra
mustbe applied. This is basedon the position of planetsin
theit inimical houses. When a planet occupies an inimical
sign, one-thirdof the term obtainedafterChakrapathaHarana
must be deducted. This reductionshould not be made if the
planet is retrogradeor vakra. Some authors say that Mars is
exemptedfrom Satrukshetra
Harana,while othels claim only
vakraplanetsmust be considered. The Sanskritword used is
vakra. By this is meantboth Mars and retrogression. But for
all practicalpurposes,both planetsin rettogressi,rnand Mars
are not subjectedto Satrukshetra
Harana.
Astangata Harana
Asta meanscombustion. When a planet is very close to
the Sun !t seemsto loseal! its vitalising influencesby being
absorbedby the Sun's intense power, so much so that it
becomespracticallyuseless.Thereforewhen a planet is within
certaindegreesfrom the Sun, it is said to be in combustion
and one-half of the term left after the Chakrapathaand SatrukshetraHaranasare caried out must be deducted. When tho

too

flow lo JudgeI Horoscopc

Moon is 12'forwards or backwardsof the Sun, he is Astangata.

lf Mars,Mercury,Jupiter,Venusand Saturn ara 17e,14o,11o,
10o and 50 respectivelyeither backwards or forwards of the
Sun, they get combust. Mereuryand Venus,if retrograde,get
combustonly when 12 and 8o forwardsor backwardsrespectively of the Sun. But it must be noted that Venusand Saturn
are exempt from Astangata Harana even when combustas
almostall authoritiesagreeon this point.
Krurodaya Harana
When one or more malefics occupy the Lagna, leduction
due to their presencemust be made in the term already
obtainedafter the reductionsdue to Chakrapatha.Satrukshetra
and AstangataHaranashave beenmads.
This is done by multiplying the number of Amsas that
Lagna has passed by the total of the plgnetaryterms. The
product is divided by 109. The quotientso obtained is deducted from the total term of life. The remainder is converted
into months,days, etc., and addedon to the quotient which
representsyears.
lf malefic in the Ascendantis aspectedby a benefic, the
Haranafractionso obtained is half of what it would otherwise
be. lf two or rnore planets occupy the Lagna, tho planet

The Amsayu Method
The Amsayu (longevity due to Navamsa) is held by
Bhattotpala to be the only correct method. Manitha and
that Amsayushouldbe appliedonly when the
Sarcvalisuggest
Lagna lord is more powerful than the Sun and the Moon.
Whateverthe divergentviews held in regard to the circumstancesunderwhich the differentmethodsof longevity determinationare to be applied,it seemsto be clear that Varahamihira and his illustrious commentatorBhattotpalahave
approvedthe AmsayuMethod as of much impoilance.
Sreepathihas dealt with Amsayuin his Paddhatibut as
usual,the average reader finds it difficultto understandthe
method, not lo mentionof its practicalapplicationbecausethe

According to Satyacharya,the longitude (sphuta)

of a
planet is first convertedinto minutes
(karas). This is dlvided
by 200. The quotient denotes the toiar number
of Navams'
passedby a planet from the first point
of Aries. The quotient
is again divided bv 12 to obtain the number
of Navamsas
passedin the sign considered. This number
denotesthe years.
The remainderwill give the fraction of a year granted
by fhe
particularplanet.
The longitudeof the Lagna is also subjected
to the samo
calculationsto get period of life it grants.
i
The period so granted by a planet is subject
to both
Bharana (increase) and Harana (reduction) in
the foltowing
mannel:
(a) A planetwhen exalted or retrogradegives
thrice the
gtumberof yearsobtainedby the abovecalculations.
(b) A planet when vargottama

the number
of years.
(c) Wherea planetis to bo multiplied
twice or thrice
due to its situationaccordingto both (a) and (6),
the muttiptication is to be doneonly once by the strongestfactor.
The reductionsare the sameas in the pindayuMethod.

ln the I Volumeof this work, we have discussedin brief

Death-inflicting Transits

Standardclassicalworks on astrologygive severalmethods

based on transits of certain planets by which the period of
death may be gauged with a fair degreeol accuracy.Death
indicated on the basisof transitscan happen only when the
directionalinfluencesin the birth charts warrant. Otherwise
such as ill-health,lossof money, misundorstaning
misfortunes
with kith and kin and separations,may happen. Readers
must
clearly bear this in mind when interpreting the following
combinations
bearingon fiansits.
Saturn;the Ayushkaraka,is also the Mrutyukaraka. When

Out of a total of 35 units of maraka,Saturn and Mercury

each get 6 units while the Sun gets the next highest number
of 5 units. As the lord of the gth and powedully aspectedby

Jupiter, the Sun losesthe marakapower in his Dasa,but woutd

producethe samein the Bhukti within the Dasaof another
malefic.MercuryDasacomesvery late in life (beingalso Dasa
at birth) so that possibility of death in his Dasa is out of
question. SaturnDasa will come in the native,sgOth year,
which is far too late. Saturnby virtueof his inherentaffinity
with Rahu (Sanivad Rahu) delegateshis maraka or kilting
power to Rahu.
Rahu,it will be seen, occupiesthe 3rd house and is in
association
with Mercury,ford of the 7th from Lagna and who
owns the 8th fronrthe Moon in Navamsa. As Rahu happens
to be a maleficassociateof the 7th lord he has every qualificationto inflictdeath in his Dasa.As we have alreadynoticed,
Saturnhas the largestnumberof unitsfor killing next to Morcury who cannot do his job; and as Saturn himselfcar.tnot
causedeath,he must naturallyclelegate
lrlspoweron the planet
occupyinghis sign. Such a planetwould be Rahu.
Rahuis in the 8th fiom the Moon. Hence Rahu gets tho
power to kill in his Dasa. MercuryDasarulesat birth with a
balanceof 5 years1 month 6 days. Then the Dasasof Ketu,
Venus,Sun, Moon and Mars lastfor S0 yearsbringingthe total
to 55 years1 month 6 daysfrom birth.This will be upto about

His Dasaer,tendsfor 18 years. Will Rahusparethe native all
the 18 years? Kelu is a likelycandidate,Ketu should partake
of the characteristics
of the Sun but as the Sun himself has S
units, Ketu hasonly 4 units of marakapower so that he would

The native'sYther died in January1973 in Jupiter Daso,

the Sun, the father cannot live very long. But the position
of the 9th lord in a kendrain a beneficialconstellarioncannot
deprivethe nativeof her fatherveryearlyin life either. Saturn
is one of the afflictorsto the 9th lord as the constituentof the
papakartarr yoga which rneans his Dasa must take away
the father, who died just hefore the eommencementof the
Dasa. Dasa lord Jupiter is a maraka both by lordship and

Conclusion .' The 9th house and the karaka are free of
afflictionsbut the 9rh lord is blemishedby associationwith
Rahu and the aspectof Mars. Jupiter is no doubt Vargottama
but occupies a martian constellation. Mars is a powerful
marakafrom the 9th house both by ownershipand occupation.

but Rahuis also in Chitta. The native's father died in April
1979 in RahuBhuktiof MercuryDasa. Dasa lord Mercuryis

We have found in our experiencethe karakatwa or lordship or Bhava occupationof planets that indicate foreign
travel gives a clue to the reasons for tlavel abroad. For
instance, if the 4th and 9th lords are related, one may go
abroad for higherstudiesor on a teachingmission. lf the 9th
and 10tlr lords are related itmay be for reasonsof careerand
professionaladvancement.lf the 6th lord is also involved,

mostly connectedwith gains; if on a political mission,to

Concerningthe Tenth House
The most difficult and at the sametime the most importanpart in the analysisof a horoscopeis the determinationor occut
pation or profession. In fact, the numberof avocations today
is so vast and variedthat it is nearly impossibleto ascertain
with any degree of accuracy the exact nature of profession.
Thereare severaldifficultiesthat presentthemselvesbefore an
in his taskof adaptingancientastrologicalprinciples
astrologer
to suit currentprofessions. In formertimes occupationswere
few and the differentiationbetweenone occupationand another
was clearly marked. But proper and judicious investigatiorr
into all the relevant factorswill rcvealwhiclr vocationand the
degreeof successone may achievein it.
The tenth houserefersto occupation,profession,temporal
honours, foreign travels, self-respect,knowledge and dignity
and meansof livelihood.
'
Primary Considerationg
Before analysingthe tenth Bhava, one must study the
general strengttr of the (a) the house, (b) its lord, (c) its
occupantsand (d) the Karakaor indicatoror naturalsignificator
of the 1Oth house. Differentyogasin the horoscopebearing
on the 1Othhouse, its lord and Karakaalso influr.ncetho 1Oth

Results of the Lord of tho Tenth House being situated

in Different Houses
ln the FirctHouse.' When the lord of ths tenth house
occupiesthe Ascendant,the native rises in !ife by sheer dint
of perseveranco.He will be self-employed
or pursuea profession of independence.When the Lagnaand 1Othlord combine
in the first housethe native becomesvery famousand a pioneer
in his field of work. He foundsa public institutionand engages himselfin socialprojects.
ln the SecondHouse : The 1Othlord in the secondhouse
makes the native fortunate. He riseswell in life and makesa
lot of money. He may engagehimselfin the family trade and
develop it. lf maleficsafflict the 1Oth house he will suffer
lossesand be responsiblefor winding up the family business.
He will prosperin cateringand restaurantbusinesses.
ln the Third House.' The native may have to travel constantly on short-journeys.He will be a speakeror writer of
celebrityif the 1Oth lord is well-placed. His brothersmay be
instrumentalto some extent in advancinghis career. lf 1Oth
lord is in the 6th, 8th or 12th from NavamsaLagna or in an
unfriendlyconstellationin the 3rd house,the native'srisein
life is slow and beset with obstacles. lf the 3rd lord is also
afflicted, rivalry betweenbrothersmay leadto reversals,obstacles, etc,, in the native'scareer.
In the Fourth House.' The native will be a lucky man and
highly learnedin varioussubjects. He will be famousboth for
his learningand generosity. lf the 'lOth lord is strong, the
native is respected wherever he goes and he receivesroyal
favour. He may engagein agriculturalpursuitsor in dealings
with immovableproperties. lf the 4th lord, the 9th lord and
the 1Oth are beneficiallydisposedand relatedto one another,

his lands and be forced to take to a life of servitude. The
same resultobtainsif the 1Othlord conjoinsthe 8th lord in the
4th house in a nraleficshashtyamsa.
ln the Fifth House.' The native shines well as a broker
and engagesin speculationand similarbusiness. lf benefics
ioin the lord of the 1Othin the Sth house, the native leadsa
simple and pious life engaginghimself in prayersand pious
activities. He may becomethe head of an orphanagsor remand
home if the 1oth lord occupiesthe6th, 8th or 12th Navamsa.
ln the Sixth House : The person will have an occupation
bearing on judiciary,prisons or hospitals. lf Saturnaspects
the 1Othlord, he may have to work all lris life in a low-paying
jbb with not much prospects. lf beneficsaspectthe 1Othlord,
he holds a post of authorityand will be held in high esteemfor
his character. lf Rahu or afllictedmaleficsare with the 1oth
lord, he may sufferdisgracein his career. He may be exposed
to criminalactionand face imprisonment.
ln the Seventh House.' The 10th lord placedin the 7th
housegivesa maturewife who will assistthe nativein his work.
He will travel abroadon diplomaticmissions.He will be well
known for his skill in talkingand achievingobjectives.He will
makeprofits throughparlnerships
and co-operative
ventures.lf
maleficsafflictthe 1Oth lord. the nativewill be debesedin his

ln the Eighth House.' The native has many breaks in
career. lf the 1Othlord is foilified, he will occupya higlr office
in his field but only for a short time. lf a maleficplanetafflicts
the 1Oth lord the personhascriminalpropensities
and commits

offences. lf Jupiter inlluencesthe 1Othlord by a8pector association in the 8th house, he will become a mystic or spiritual
teacher. Saturnhere makesthe personan undertekeror otherwise employedin bulning ghats, graveyards,gtc.
ln the Ninth House.' The 10th lord in the 9th house
makesthe nativea spiritualstalwart. He will be a beaconlight
to spiritual seekersif Jupiter aspects the 1Oth lord. lf both
benefics and malefics aspect the 1Oth lord, the native is
generally fortunate and well-to-do. He follows a hereditary
professionor that of a preacher, teacheror healer. The father
of the nativehas a greatinfluenceon him. He will be a dutiful
son and do many charitabledeeds.
ln the Tenth House.' lf ths 1Orhlord is strongly disposed
in the 1Oth, the native can be highly successfulin his profession and command respect and honour. lf the lord is weak
and afflicted, he will have no self-respect,cringing for favours.
He will also be a dependentall his life. He will be fickle-min.
ded. lf the 10th lord occupiesthe 6th,8th or 12th houses
from Navamss,the native'scareerwill be routineand ordinary.
lf three othsr planets conjoin the 1Oth lord in the 1Othhouse,
the native becomesan ascetic,
ln the Eleventh House.' The personearns immenseriches.
Fortunatein every respecthe will engagehimselfin meritorious
deeds. He will give employmentto hundreds of persons and
will be endowedwith a high sense of honour. He will have
manyfriends. lf the eleventh house comes under aflliction,
his friends will turn enemies and causehim every sort of hardship and worry.
ln the Twelfth House.' lf the 10th lord occupies the
twelfth house, the nativelruillhave to work in a far-off place.

He will lack comforts and face many difficultiesin life. lf

beneficially disposed, the native becomesa spiritual seeker.
He will be separatedfrom his familyand wanderaboutwithout
success if maleficsafflict the 1Othlord. He will indulge in
smugglingand other nefariousactivities.Rahualflicting the
1Oth lord makesthe nativea cheatand a criminal. He causes
sorrow to his family and relatives.
Other lmportant Considerations

Astrologyis a scienceof tende,ncies

and predictionsdo not
imply fatalism ot absolute predetermination.Consequently
it is only one's naturalaptitudesor leaningsfor speci{icoccupationsthat can be known from the horoscope. Therefore,no
definiteastrological
factorscan be fixed for eachvocation.
Beforejudgingthe professionit is necessaryto ascertain
the mental,intellectualand physicalabilitiesof the nativeby a
carefulexaminationof the strengthor weaknessotthe Sun, the
Moon and the Lagnarespectively. The positionof Mercuryis
equallyimpoilant. For, thoughclassicalastrologyhas assigned
the mentaloutlook of a personto tho position of the Moon,
yet our observations
go to show that as the planet Mercury
rules buddhi or intelligence,his auspiciousdispositionis
equally importantin orderto measureone's mental make-up.
When eitherthe Moon or Mercury receives a series of evil
aspectsparticularly
those of Rahu and Saturn,one lacksthe
strengthof mind neededto facacritical situationsand would
be unfit for professionsinvolvingresponsibilityand the ability
to meet criticalsituations.
It would, in our experience,be reasonableto expecta
planetin the tenth or rulingthe 1oth houseto havemore influenceover the vocationthan a planetof generalprominencein

C,ooccroing
tbe TcothHouso

?AS

any other pan of the chart. This however is different from

implyingthat the rulerof the 1Othor a planetin the 1Othhouse
can be considereda fixed factorfor any of the professions. A
statisticalstudy of over 50 charts has revealedthat it is only in
15 chartsthat the 1oth lord and the 1oth Bhavawere definite
factorsin determinlng the native'sprofession. But the most
powerful plsnot in the chart will also havo a beadng on
plofession.
Going back to thc ability to meet situatlong,a planetin tho
1Othhouse receivinge powedul aspeclfrom a benefic denotes
that the individual is not lacking in the ability of the nature of
the aspectingplanet that he could make a successof it. lf the
Sun and Rahu are in the 10th house aspectedby Jupiter, the
native may presideover political meetingsand take interest in
politicalactivities; but politics will not be tho native's profession. lf the Sun and Mars are in the 1Othhousewith Mars
fortifiedand in dignity, the nativemay be a medical man but
would be interestedin politicsand even invotvedin it.
For purposesof study, we may classifythe variousoccupations into six broad groupsor categories,viz., (1) Intellectual
avocations, (2) economicavocations, (3) aestheticactivities,
(4) routine works, (5) mechanicalprofessionsand (6) trades.
This classificationis too general because it is impossible
to draw a line of distinctionbetweenthe different categories.
An author, whose main work is intellectual,may spend a part
of his time in composingand printing or insurance business.
In his occupation,therefore,both the intellectualand economic
aspectscome in. Thereare instances when people suddenly
change their careers from teaching to business. This is
explainedby the fact that there is a specialstimulus to cettain

2{a

How to Jud3or Hororcopo

qualitiesat certain ages,probablydependingupon the nature

of the directional influences (Dasasand Bhuktis) operating
then.

Takingthe first group-lntellectualavocations-historians,

scientists,philosophers,
mathematicians,
doctors,astronomers,
astrologers, psychologists,psycho-analysts,iudges, lawyers,
etc., come under this group. To the economic gtoup may be
essignedpoliticians, bank wolkers, insuranceworkers, actuaries, industrialists,mill-ownersand manufacturers.Musicians,
actors, singers, dancers, dramatists, cinema stars, artistes
belong to the Aesthetic group. Routine workers include the
lalge numberof clerks,shop assistants,waitors and the general
staff in offices, govetnment and business organisations.
Labourers, agriculturists, carpenters, attisans, mechanics,
compositors,mill-workers,etc., belongto the frfth group, The
sixth, vr2..tradersincludethe rankand f ileof merchants,
bookjournalists,
publishers,
printers,
sellers,
stationers, grocers,
manufacturingrepresentatives,
etc.

Eachone of these avocationscan be divided into a number of divisions. For instance, an artist may be a sculptor,
photographeror etchet ; a musicianmay be a violinist,vocalist,
composeror flutist. An engineermay be an inventor, designer
or a mechanicand so on. Hence it would be impossibleto
make an entire catafogue of professionsand group them to
suit astrologicalfactors

GenerallyspeakingJupiter and Mercuryreferto intellectual avocations,Venusto aestheticprofessions,the Sun, the

Moon and Mars to economicoccupations,Mercuryto traders,
Saturnto hard workingjobs and Rahu and Ketu to routine
workers.

Three irfstancesdraw our attention in the matter of
decidingptofession. They are :(1 )- When the 1Othhouse is not occupiedby any planet
(2) Whentho 1Othhouseis occupisdby a planet
(3) When ths 10th houseis occupied by more than ono
planet.
Takingthe first: When there is no planet in the 10th
house, take the 1oth lord as ptimarydeterminantand the lord
of the Navamsaoccupiedby the 1Othhouse as the secondary
determinant. Betweenthg two, the stlonger planet generally
Indicatesthe natureof profession.
When the 10th house is occupied by a planet, then of

the
Navamsa occupied by the 10th lord, the strongest planet
becomesthe primary determinant.
Whenths l Oth houso is occupiedby mole than ono planet,
the most powerful planet becomes the prime determinan
providedthere is no conjunction. lf there is a conjunction
the strongerof the Navamsa lords of these two planets will
give the clue. Or, when th differsntplanets8re mole or less
of equal strength, then thel6 will be a blending of influence
and more than one occupation may be indicated. These
principlesare very generaland must be adaptedsuitably. The

from the Moon and the Sun. lt is also common experienc

Rajayogas or Combinations for Political Power
We reproducebelow combinationslot Rajayogas(lives of
celebrity)producedfrom classicalworks.
Threeor more planetsin exaltationor own sign and at the
sametime in quadrantsgive rise to a widely known king. Five
or moresuchplanetsmake evenan ordinaryman a rulerof the
earth. lf a native with such combinationsis born in a royal
family without any maleficyogas or planets being combust,
he becomesa ruler. Peopleborn in ordinary families with 3
planetsplacedas abovebecomecounsellors
or equal to kings
'in power
and authority but not kings themselves. Two or
more planetswith digbalamakea royalnativea king while 4
or moro such planets make even an ordinary man a ruler.
Accotdingto somewriters like Yavanacharya,
when the planets
concernedare nralefics,then the native becomesa cruel tyrant
while beneficsmakeone a jr:st and virtuoussovereign.
By a combinationand permulation,Varahamihiraenumerates 32 kinds of Rajayogas arising under the following
conditions:-

Cooccroioglbc Tcotb House

887

(1) When Mars,Saturn,Jupiterand the Sun are exalted

with one of them occupyingthe Ascendant(4 yogas).
(2, When any threeof the planets,Mars,Saturn, Jupiter
and the Sun, are exalted with one of them being in the
Ascendant(16 yogas).
(3) When any two of these 4 planetsare exalted,one of
them being in Lagna and the Moon being in Cancer (12
yogas).
(4) When any one of these 4 planetsis exaltedin the
Ascendantand the Moon is in Cancer(4 yogas).
The Ascendantor the Moon in vargottama(occupyingthe
same sign in Rasi and Navamsa) is aspected by 4, 5 or 6
planets (leaving out the Moon), 44 cases of Rajayoga are
caused.
lf the Lagnalord occupiesa quadrantol the 9th house in
VargottamaNavamsaand the 9th lord, in turn, is in '^altation,
own sign or Vargottama Navamsa, a king is br.rrn' Jupiter
exaltedin Lagna,the Moon, Venusand Mercury in the 11th
houseand the Sun in Ariesgives rise to a powerful king. lf
MercuryoccupiesVirgo which is also the Ascendant, Jupiter
and the Moon be in Piscesand Saturnand the Moon occupy
the nativebecomesa king.
Capricorn,
lf the Sun and the Moon occupy the Ascendant in Aries,
MarsoccupiesCapricorn.Saturnis in Aquarius and Jupiter is
in Sagittarius,the person botn in a royalfamily becomes a
king.
According to Varahamihirain his great classic Brihat
Jataka, a kingdom is obtainedduring the Dasa or Bhukti of
(1) the planetin the Ascendant,or (2) the planet in the 1oth
housefrom the Ascendant,or (3) the most powerful planet in
the chart.
22

flow to Judgoa Horoscopo

A kingdom is lost during the period (the major poriod or

minor period) of (1) a planet in an inimicat sign or (2) a
planet that occupiesthe 7th from the sign it rules.
As we have several times pointed out, since Rajayogas
occur in largenumbers, a clevel studont should assess the
worth of eachcombinationtaking into account the chart in
'its
entirety.
In the horoscope of a ruler-king, dictator, presidentor
prime minister-we have found in our experienceSaturn,s
position when his rays ars properfyblsndedwith thos6 of Rahu
can give rise to realization of objects, consolidation of ths
countiy, establishmentof peaceand economicprosperityand a
happy and contentedpopulace.

influenceproceededfrom personal example and devotion to

The Lagnaford in a kendraandvargottama and the gth lord in
exaltation is another powerful Raiayoga. The Full Moon's
dispositionin a kendraothet than Lagna is itself a Rajayoga
denotingthe biilh of a scion of a royal family. The Full Moon's
vatgottama position is yet anothet asset.
The Sun-Saturncombinationis no doubt good regarding

Mars is a yogakarakaand he is in the 2nd house. Saturn

in as much as the native'sentirelife constitutedone long battle

attributableonly to Rahu's associationwith the Sun in the

Concerningthe Eleventh House

The eleventhhouse refersto gains, elder brother, friends,

acquisitions,freedom from misery, and happy tidings. An
afflictionto the 11th housemay resultin the loss of brother,
friends,lossof wealth, miseryor unhappy news. The exact
natureof the resultcan be gleaned only after an assessment
of the whole chart and the afflictingplanets. To some extenl
the eleventhalso concernsmariage.
Primary Considerations
In analysingthe significationsof the eleventh Bhava or

studied: (a) the Bhava, (b) irs lord, (c) the karaka,and
(d) the occupants. Yogasin the chart bearing on ths 11th

We shall first study the general combinationsand the

The natureof the planet in the twelfth housegives us a
clue as to how one's wealth is lost, dissipatedor spent.
The native'swealth is spenton finesor wiil be confiscated
by the Governmentwhen the afflictedSun occupies the 12th.
Mars in the 12th gives expensivelitigation and dangerous
enernies. Moneywill be lost through ransom, cheating and
swindlers. Reckless

The 12th lord with a malefic suggests embezzlement
tendencies.An exchangeof housesbetweenthe 2nd and 12th

criminal proceedingsagainst the native leading to loss of

debilitatedor occupiesthe 6th, the 8th or the 12th house;

;
or when the 2nd lord is debilitated,joins a malefic or is

Some Practical lllustrations
We have seen so far how to assessthe nature of resultsof
each of the twolve Bhavas or houses beginning from the
seventh (marriage) to the twerfth (emancipation) in this
volume. The principlesof astrorogyprovide us with a tool to
estimatethe generalworth of an individualand what life has
in store for him in its varioussectorssuch as marriage (7th),
ruffering and death (8th), parentage,prosperity, travel (9thi,
fame, success, distinction and occupation (1Oth), trienOs,
brothers,gains (1l th) and expenditure,incarcerationand f inat
release(12th) afterdeath. Arthoughthe pranetary configurations can give a broad outline of the future of an individuat, it
is only an intuitionarperceptionthat can herp us to assess
rhe
real worth of a horoscope. lt is no easyjob to draw conclu_
sions. The astrologerhas a duty in dressingup his predictions
in such a way that the truth is revealed without adversoly
affectingone psychologically.
lf the Lagna lord, the Moon or Mercury is afflicted, a
negativepredictionmay drive the native to melancholiaand
frustration. Henceone must be careful in revealingthe truth.
On the contrary,a native with strong Ascendant,the Moon or
Mercury will be abre to digest any prediction without reacring

before the astrologergives his commentson any chart.
Coming to the question of interpletation, the Rasi, Nav_

devotedto each other. The associationof the 7th lord Mars
with the Moon gavo a wife, many years younger-almost ten
-than the nativo.
The 7th lord is in the 9th and karaka Venus with no
afflictions gave a long lease of married life. Thereare no

Longevity
The Ascendant is aspected by its lord Venus. The eighth
lord Jupiteris in the 6th housewith debilitated4th lord sun.
The sun gets neechabhanga(canceilationof debirity) sincehis
sign-lord Venus is in a kendra (quadrant) from Lagna.The
eighth house receives no other aspects. From the Moon, the
eighth house is Leo aspected by exalted Mars. The gth lord

Ayushkanka saturn is in the sth house with exatted Mercury.
At the same time, he is afflicted by the Nodes. The 3rd lord
the Moon aspectsthe 3rd house. This is good. Considered
from the Moon, the 3rd lord Jupiter is in the 1Oth with the
8th lord sun. The 8th rord Jupiter in a dusthanaand the gth
lord Sun (with referenceto the Moon) being strong in a
kendraare not very good for longevity. On the other hand,
the presenceof Venus in a kendragives some strength. Since
both beneficsand malefics are in a kendra (quadrant) and
kona (trine) and 8th lord is in a malefic Bhava, the spanof
life can be said to be medium or madhyayu, Another leason
for medium life is the exaltation of maraka planets, namely,
2nd lord Mercuryand 7th tord Mars in trines.
The Dasasthat operateduring madhyayu (32 to 75 years)
are of Jupiter (in pail), Saturn and Mercury. Of these three

aOl

Dasalords, Jupiter is the 8th lord from Lagna and the 3rd
and'l2th fordfrom the Moon combiningwith 8th lord Sun.
Saturnis not a marakafrom Lagna. He is the natural maraka
and combineswith the 2nd lord Mercury. From the Moon,
he is the 2nd lord. Mercuryis the 2nd lord from Lagnaplaced
with karakaSaturn. He associateswith the 2nd lord from the
Moon, namely,Saturn. Of these three planets, Jupiter does
not havesufficientmaraka power, either due to lordship ol
association. BetweenSaturn and Mercury, thg latter is the
2nd lord and powerful due to his exaltation. But Saturn who
associateswith Mercurytakesover the marakatwa from him
and becomes a first-rate killer. Since Lagna lord aspects
Lagna,Saturncannot be expectedto kill in the beginning of
his Dasa. This would not be warranted by the planetary
dispositions. Hencehe can kill only in the closing paft of his
period. Rahu whc is with Saturn (maraka) and 2nd lord
Mercuryand who should also reflect the lesults of Saturn
becomesquite capableof proving fatal. The native died in
Saturn's Dasaat the fag end of Rahu Bhukti.
Nature of Death
The 8th houseis Sagittariusand falls in the 3rd drekkana

The twelfth house is a barrensign Aries aspected by the
lOth lord Mars,8th and 1lth lord Jupiter, and another fiery
pfanet the Sun, the last two occupyinga matefic place, viz.,
the 6th house. The 12th house is quite blemished except fol
the aspectof the 12th lord Mars, who occupiesthe 9th housc,
with the 3rd lord Moon and hencefairly well placed.
Consideredfrom the Moon, the 12th house is Sagittarius,
neitheroccupiednor aspectedby any ptanet. The 12th lord
Jupiteroccupiesthe 1Othhouse with the gth lord Sun.

7th house he is good but as 6th lord, not so feasibleso tar as
Kalatrabhavais concerned. He is aspected by Saturn, a
hermaphrodits,whose characteristics
are further enhanced by
associationwith anothersimilar planet, an afflicted Mercury.
Moreover,Venusoccupiesa rhercurialconstellationand as we
havealreadyseen, this is not a welcomesituation.
The 12th housefrom Lagnabeing affticted by planets in
the 6th house (rogasthana)and the karakabeing ruler of the
6th house and afflicted resulted in heatth troubles that
preventedthe nativefrom having a normal marriedlife.
Butsince the 12th lord Mars is well placed and Venus is
also a beneficdue to his ownershipof Lagna and occupies a
kendra, this state of affairs began only after the nativehad
lived a normal life for about 15 years. The next 1E years
approximately,until his death, were filted with complicated
health probfemsthat did not ailow sayana-sukha. This is a
unique instanceof how both benefic and malefic influences
