In the Major Period of Lord of 2nd & in the sub-period of Saturn

o Financial losses; the native would be depending on others for help.

In the Major Period of Lord of 3rd & in the sub-period of Mars

In the Major Period of Lord of 6th & in the sub-period of Rahu Dragon's Head

o Increased circle of enemies; troubles from enemy; sufferings from

wounds; fear from implements.

In the Major Period of Lord of 7th & in the sub-period of Sun, Mars &
Saturn

o Loss of happiness from wife; sorrow on account of wife/women.

In the Major Period of Lord of 8th & in the sub-period of Saturn

o Death. If there is a planet in conjunction with lord of 8th, the effects of

the house(s) of which the former is the lord, will be lost during the
major period of lord of 8th.

In the Major Period of lord of 9th & in the sub-period of malefics

o Death of father/Preceptor; separation; inability to follow religious

-1-
 o Stoppage of income from righteous means and allied troubles.

In the Major Period of Lord of 12th & in the sub-period of malefics

o Loss of position; mental agony; loss of everything.

If the Lords of Major Period and the sub-period are friends between themselves
and/or standing in quadrants/trines of each other, the sub-period will yield fruitful
results. If they happen to be enemies and/or standing in 6, 8 or 12th, malefic results
flow.

Generally speaking, the Major Period of Lord Ascendant is considered broadly

benefic. So also, the Major Period of Lord of the Moon sign, and the Major
Period operating at the time of birth.

For predicting the Major Period effects, treat the sign occupied by lord of the major
period as the Ascendant for the time being, and see what planets occupy the 12
houses therefrom and shape your predictions accordingly. A strong benefic in 10th is
bound to improve profession, a strong benefic in 5th may award a son and a strong
Venus in 7th of the lord of major period, may cause the native's marriage. Effects
arising as a result of lord of major period's relation with various Yogas should also be
taken into account.

Major Period effects are also subject to the significations of the lord of the major
period, the country in which the native may be living and the age/century in
which the native thrives and whether the native is a boy/youth/adult.

During the currency of a benefic's major period, a native in already prosperous

circumstances would be enjoying Raja Yoga or kingly life; for a native born in
poverty, under identical circumstances, there may be birth of a son. Birth of a son in
the good old days was considered to be the most auspicious. The author seems to
throw a hint that the effect of a Raja Yoga held by a major period lord would result in
the birth of son during such major period for a native in ordinary circumstances and
that the same Yoga would confer Raja Yoga and Raja Bhoga for one already in
affluent circumstances.

Death has to be considered in the sub-periods of lords of 2nd and 7th in the
major period of lord of 8th; more so, if lord of 8th is a malefic.

The major periods of lords of 8th and 12th are malefic; more so, if the 8th/12th is
also occupied by a malefic. In such major periods, the sub-periods of lords of
2nd/7th cause death of a native.

The malefic effects concerning the 6th house will be suffered by the native during the
major period of lord of 6th, if the 6th in birth chart is not occupied by lord of 6, 8
or 12.

Death of mother and father has to be thought of in major periods of lords of 4th/9th
respectively. If these major period lords are just nominally malefic, instead of death,
there will be diseases, ailments, dissensions and losses.
-2-
Major Period effects should to be adjusted directly in proportion to the strength of
the lord of a house. There will be changes in environments or death in the sub-period
of a planet in the 6th/8th of lord of major period.

Loss of luck and even life is possible in the major period or sub-period of lord of 12th
in conjunction with a malefic.

If lords of 6th and 7th are together in one sign, in their major periods, there will be
loss of pleasure and increased number of enemies.

In the major period or sub-period of the dispositor of Mars, if malefic, there will
be loss of the effects of the house(s) owned by the dispositor of Mars.

In the major of malefics in 6, 8 or 12, aspected also by malefic, there will be

troubles of various sorts, including death.

Major Period effects, as a whole, have to be delineated after taking into account all
the benefic and malefic aspects, and Yogas with which the lord of major period may
be connected with.
