Retrograde Planet
 If a person is born while a planet is in retrograde motion, he/she is immensely effected by the planet’s
qualities. If more than 1 planet in retrograde at the time of birth, then the planet with most number of degrees
in its sign will effect the person more.

3. If a planet is debilated and retrograde in Navamsa chart but anywhere in Rasi chart, will be helpful
4. Natural benefics (jupiter,venus,mercury,moon) if own 4,7,10 houses from Ascendant and are retrograde,
then will cause more problems in all aspects to the houses they own and also the house they’re placed in.

benefic results in all aspects to the houses they own and also the house they’re placed in.
6. Any planet owning 1,5,9 houses(they shouldn’t own 6,8,12 at the same time) if retrograde will be helpful to
the person.
7. All planets(except jupiter) give results of the house they started retrograding from, but not the house
they’re placed in at birth. Only Jupiter gives results of same house in which it is placed at birth time.

transits of a planet placed or associated with those houses or the ruler of those
houses.

The ruler of the 8th

th, 12th
th and 3rd
rd houses or planets placed on those houses are also

capable of causing death.

Fructification of House
The signification of the houses fructify under the planetary sub-periods connected
with them. The nature and extent of significations are dependent on three things, i.e.
(1)the strength of the lord of the house, in case of mooltrikona signs;
(2)the strength of the significator of the house; and
(3)the influences on the house itself.
(4)The significations of the houses containing mooltrikona signs suffer if their lords
and significators are weak or they or their lords or significators are under the
influence of functional malefic planets.
(5)The significations of the houses containing non-mooltrikona signs suffer if their
significators are weak or they or their significators are under the influence of
functional malefic planets.
Yoga (D.A.R.E.S.)
D for Dhana or wealth, monetary gains, the lords that should be seen for this are of
the first, second, fifth, ninth and eleventh and of course cords of those houses.
A for Arista of misfortunes of ill health and tragic events. The lords and houses to
be seen are the third, sixth, eight and twelfth including the lagna invariably and its lord.
R for Rajayoga or combination for rise professionally and otherwise promise of
distinctions in various fields. The houses and lords to be seen are the first, fourth,
seventh and tenth and their combinations (PAC) with the lords of the fifth and the
ninth houses.
E for Exchange 
Some horoscopes have some very special features (S) by overlooking which we
astrologers commit serious mistakes.
Yogas of the Chart
Evaluate the Dasa and Bhukti
A. Evaluate the condition of the Dasa lord. Its strength, then its placement by house, the aspects it receives, yogas it

forms, etc., all of which will affect how the Dasa will play out.

B. Everything that the Dasa lord influences gets activated during its Dasa, e.g. the house it occupies, the house(s) it

aspects, the house(s) it rules, the planets it aspects, the life themes it represents, etc. If a Dasa Lord rules or occupies or

aspects a house whose themes it signifies, then that theme is greatly emphasized during that Dasa.

 C. When running the Bhukti of a planet that has a relationship with the Dasa lord -- mutual or unilateral, such as in the

same or opposite houses, in the other's sign, yogas formed by both, etc. -- the themes represented by that relationship

will be activated and it will be a very important time in the person's life.

 D. The house placement of the Bhukti lord relative to the Dasa indicates both the themes of and the ease of that

Dasa/Bhukti. Bhukti lords 6,8, or 12 houses from the Dasa Lord can be problematic.
Evaluate the Transits
The themes of the house occupied by transiting Saturn will
be greatly emphasized.
