Next Life (Rebirth)

From Jataka Narayaneeyam by Vadrevu Suryanarayana Murthy: Note that in the book, he clearly
mentioned when he is stating his personal observations.

The status of a soul after death must be judged from the 6th and 7th houses and their lords. Jupiter
indicates planet of the devatas (daivalokam), Moon and Venus indicate planet of the ancestors
(pitrlokam), Sun and Mars indicate lower planets (tiryaglokam), Saturn and Mercury indicate hell
(narakam).

Although Saturn and Mercury are (functional?) malefics for any horoscope, the following conditions
will indicate that the native will reach good(?)  planets:

Jupiter is exalted or in his own sign.

Saturn or Mercury is in Jupiter's sign in Rasi or Navamsa charts.

Saturn or Mercury is strong and Jupiter is in the strong planet's sign.

Planets situated in the signs whose nature (Traividyam: movable, immovable, dual) is the same as the
signs owned by the planet are strong. For example, Sun is considered stronger when he is in Taurus,
Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius (immovable signs) because he owns a immovable sign (Leo). If a planet owns
both a movable or immovable sign, then he is equally strong in both movable and immovable signs.

According to the Traividyam of the planets, one should predict the country in which the native will be
reborn. The period/subperiod of the native at the time of death should also be considered while
evaluating this:

If Maranakaraka planet is situated in movable sign, the native will be born in a foreign country.

If he is in an immovable sign, he will be born in the same place (lit. village).

If it is a dual sign, he will be born in a village that is like his native place in this village.

If the lord of the 12th house is Jupiter and he occupies the house, the native will reach the planets of
his ancestors (pitrlokam).

If the lord of the 12th house is Venus and he is along with Rahu in a quadrant, trine, 1st or 12th
houses, the native will become a demon (pisacha) after rebirth.
