LONGIVITY

http://astrogurukul.com/web/2014/09/03/longevity/

Division of longevity:-The standard life span for this purpose is

108 years for human charts. It is divided into three parts:-
1. Short life (Alp Ayu):-It is 0-36 years.
2. Middle life (Madhya Ayu):-It is from 36-72 years.
3. Long life (Puran Ayu) :- It is from 72 -108 years.
Movable Signs:-The presiding deity of movable signs is Brahma
and energy level of these signs is maximum so these signs give
LONG LIFE.
Dual Signs:- The presiding deity of dual signs is vishnu and
energy level of these signs is medium so these signs gives
MIDDLE  LIFE.
Fix Signs:-The presiding deity of fixed signs is Shiva and is
destroyer so these signs give SHORT LIFE.
There are three methods to calculate longevity given by rishi
Jaimini.
1.Three Pair Method.
2.Eighth Lord Placement Method.
3.Method of Three Lords.
Methods of Three Pairs:- This method allows us to determine the
approximate range of one’s longevity. In this method, we look at
three pairs of planets. In each pair, we look at the two planets and
see if they occupy a movable or fixed or dual sign.
FIRST PAIR IS:-
:Lagna lord and 8th lord:- If these both are in movable sign or one
is in dual sign and other is in fix sign then long life is indicated. 
:If lagana lord and 8th lord:- both are in dual sign or one is in
movable sign and other is in fix sign, then middle life is indicated. 
:If lagana lord and 8th lord:- both are in fix sign or one is in
movable sign and other is in dual sign then short life is indicated.
SECOND PAIR:- Second pair is of MOON and SAT. Apply the
above three principles to the signs occupied by Moon and Sat.
THIRD PAIR:- Third pair is of LAGNA and HORA LAGNA. Apply
the above three principles to this pair also.
RESULT:- If all three pairs  indicate identical spans, then the
particular longevity is to be declared i.e.
: If all pairs indicate long life span it is up to 108 years.
: If all pairs indicate middle life span it is up to 72 rears.
: If all pairs indicate short life span it is up to 36 years.
:If two pair gives same life span and third pair gives different life
span ,then result given by two pairs dominate and find the
resultant longevity using following table:-
Two Short Middle Long
Pairs:- life Life Life

Third
Pair is:-

Short 32yrs 64yrs 96yrs

Middle
36yrs 72yrs 108yrs
life

Long
40yrs 80yrs 120yrs
Life

 
If all the three pairs gives different results:-
: Then we should give preference to third pair of LAGNA and
HORA LAGNA.
:If MOON is in Lagna or 7th house, then second pair of MOON
and SAT will prevail.
Calculation of 8th lord:-We can find the 8th house in the chart
zodiacally, but it is found that results are more accurate if we take
the 8th house from Varidha Karka chart which is given below.

Note:- From the table we find that for Aries, Libra and for Aquarius
lagans, both 1st and 8th lord are same. In this case we will take the
8th from 8th. For example let us assume in an chart Lagan is Aries,
then from chart we see 8th house is Scorpio, lord of Scorpio is
also Mars we will take 8th lord from Scorpio ,from chart 8th lord
from SC is Sagittarius ,so we will take Jupiter as 8th lord. We will
see the placements of Mar and Jupiter.
Example:-  Consider an chart of Taurus ascendant as given below
,Hora Lagna is in Aries, Moon is in Taurus ,Mercury is in
Capricorn, Venus is in Capricorn, and Sat is in Gemini.
Pair 1:-   Lagna lord Venus is in Capricorn which is a Movable
Sign, from the above table 8th house is Gemini, Lord of Gemini is
Mercury is in Capricorn which is another Movable sign. Both
Movable sign gives Long Life.
Pair2:- Moon is in Ta a fixed sign, Saturn is in Gemini and dual
sign, “Fix +Dual”, Moveable is out so it gives Long Life.
Pair 3:- Lagna is in Ta an fix sign, Hora Lagana is in Aries an
Movable sign, Fix + Movable , Dual sign is out so it gives Middle
Life.

 
We see two pairs indicate Long Life so long life will prevail. Third
Pair is of Middle life so age comes out to be 108 yrs.
  
Eighth Lord Placement Method:- Determine the stronger lord
between 8th house lords from 1st and 7th house. It means
determine the stronger lord between the lords of 2nd house and
8th house. If this lord is placed in:-

1. Quadrant houses i.e 1, 4,7,10 it gives Long Life.

2. Succeeding houses also known as Panphara houses
i.e.2,5,8,11,it gives Middle Life
3. Precedent houses also known as Apokilam houses
3.6.9.12,it gives Short Life.

Method Of Three Lords:- Third method is based on the placement

of the lord of  the of 1st house,10th house and 8th house. If three
lords are well placed in quadrants etc,Long Life is indicated. If two
of the three are strong, Middle Life is indicated and if only one is
strong Short Life is indicated. These lords should be well placed,
dusthanas are bad for these houses. Malefic association with
these lords lowers the longevity. This method is very usefull from
these lords we came to know how strong our body is.This method
tells us how long the body can live without deterioating.If three
lords are well placed body can live long without deteriorating. The
peoples who have these lords well placed they live a healthy life
without any major disease.
Kaksh Vridhi:- This means increase of term of longevity, Alapayu
becomes Madhyayu, and Madhyayu becomes puranayu.
Conditions For Kaksh Vridhi:- There will be kaksha Vridhi when
any one of the following conditions are present.
1. Occupancy of Jup in lagna or the 7th house devoid of melefic
influence.
2. Occupancy of natural benefices in lagna and seventh house or
in its trikona places or in 2/12
3. Natural benefics with Ak or in the 7th, 5th or 9th house or in 2/12
4. Atmakarka is exalted.
5. Jupiter is atmakarka.
6. If lagna lord is in benefic sign other than its debilitation sign or
exalted or having benefic association.
Kaksha Harsha:-Kaksha harsha means particular of term of
longevity is reduced to the next lower one, thus Puranayu
becoming Madhyayu and Madhyayu becoming alpayu.
Conditions Of Kaksha Harsh:- There will be Kaksha Harsha when
any one of the following condition is present there.
1. Association of SAT with lagna lord or hora lagna lord.
2. Occupancy of SAT in 8th house of lagana or in 8th house of
Hora Lagna.
3. Association of Sat with the 8th house lord of lagna and 8th house
lord of Hora Lagna.
4. Both lagna and 7th house or5/9 or 2/12 occupied by malefic.
5. Similarly Ak and 7th or 5/9or 2/12 are occupied by malefic.
6. Atmakarka is debilitated.
7.If lagna lord is in melefic sign other than its exaltation sign or
having melefic association.
Rashi Vridhi:-This means increase of longevity by a Rashi i..e. by
9 yrs. If places suggested for Kaksh Vridhi are occupied by Full
Moon or Venus then there will be increase of Longevity by one
rashi dasa.
Rashi Harsa:- This means the decrease of longevity by one rashi
dasa .Rashi harsha will occur When Sat occupies places
suggested for malefic for kaksha harsha.
Jagannath Rule:-Divide the Ayur khanda in four parts of 9years
each, for example if ayur khanda is of middle life i.e. from 36years
to 72 years then four parts will be 36to45years,
45to54years,54to63years and 63 to 72years.
:If 8th lord ( counted zodiacally) is in 10th,11th or 12th from lagna
death is predicted in first part i.e. from 36 to 45years.
: If 8th lord is in 7th or 8th or in 9th from lagna death is predicted in
second part i.e. from 45 years to 54 years.
: If 8th lord is in 4th or 5th or in 6th from lagna death is predicted in
third part i.e.from 54years to 63 years.
: If 8th lord is in 1st, 2nd or 3rd house from lagna death is predicted
in last part i.e.from 63 years to 72years.
Yoga Vipareetam:-After having determined the primary longevity,
it is necessary to check the position of the AK in the chart. If it is
placed in first, third, seventh or ninth houses then yoga vipreetam
will function. This cause major change in life span from Long life
to Middle life, Middle life to Short life while Short life becomes
Long Life. Depending upon the placement of 8th lord.
Vipreetam ayur yoga simultaneously change the longevity of the
relative shown by the AK or planet joining it.For example if Short
life is indicated initially and AK Sun is in the 9th house ,then native
longevity will be increased and that of father will decreased and
father will pass away early. In these cases both things are
possible either native gives longevity to some relative or someone
else gives the longevity to native. All this depends upon the
position of the 8th lord. If 8th lord is in:-
:8th lord in kendr no longer gives long life, in this case it gives
Middle life
: 8th lord in Panphara gives Short life.
:8th lord in Apokalimas gives Long Life.
In case of 8th lord in Apoklimas you are receiving life. This is due
to ATMABALA,atma wants to stay more in body or wants to leave
early.
Calculation of Exact Longevity: – The planets involved in final
determination of longevity are called Ayur Yogakarkas or
Longevity determinates.
If the determinate is in the beginning of sign contribution will be
complete and if determinate is in the end of sign, it will be nil.
Thus the exact longevity should be fixed proportionately, taking
average longitude of all determinates. For example:-
If Moon is at 17degree 5minutes
Sat is at 13 degree 22minutes.
Life span is middle 36 to 72years
Average longitude of determinates
=17 degree 5minutes + 13 degree 22minutes/
= 15 degree 13 minutes 30
From the end of sign
= 30 degree -15 degree 13 minutes 30
= 14 degree 46 minutes 30
Contribution by determinations
= 14 degree 46 minutes 30/30 and multiply by 36 years
= 17 years 8months 23 days
Total longevity
 = 36 years + 17years 8 months 23 days
= 53 years 8months 23 days.
This method is usually applied to three pair methods.
Example:- Swami viveka nanda born on 12th Jan 1863 at 6:33 A
M(LMT)
At 22n40,88e30
 
Lag 25 degree 29mnt,        Mar 6degree19mnt             Venus
7degree 7minutes
 
Sun 29degree 25mnt (AK)    Mer 11degree 47mnt         Sat
13degree50mnt
 
Moon 17degree29mnt           Jup3degree57 mint           Rahu
22degree 15mnt
 
Hora Lagna IS IN CAPRICORN
 
Determination of Longevity Compartment. 
Method   of pairs: –   Lagna lord + 8th lord=Jupiter  + Moon
  = Movable +dual = fix is left out=Short life
Langa +Hora lagna= Dual + Movable= Short Life
Moon + Sat = Dual +Dual =Middle life
Short life combination dominates,
However Sun AK is in ASC so Yoga Vipreetam will be applicable.
8th lord Moon is in quadrant so it will indicate Middle life so father
give life to native so father passed away early. Method of pairs
gives Middle life of 36to 72 years.
:Eighth Lord  Placement:-  8th lord Moon is placed in 10th house.
It gives long life.
But Sat is placed with Moon causing Kakshya Hasha so longevity
is reduced to Middle Life of 36 to 72 years. 
: Method Of Three Lords:-  Lord of Ascendant and 10th house is
Jupiter which is moderately strong. The lord of 8th house Moon is
placed in 10th house but afflicted by Sat so will not contribute to
longevity. Thus the lord of 1st and 10th house indicates middle life.
: Jagannath rule: 8th lord Moon is in 10th house, indicating death in
the first quarter. Hence longevity is at 36 to 45years.
