Preface Jataka tattva or natal horoscopy is a vast and complicated subject and requires mastery of diverse range of areas. The first and most important step in that is understanding how to interpret bhāvas. The term bhāva cintā is taken from Mantresvara’s Phaladeepika who tried to present the principles in consistent way in his immortal classic. This is an attempt to present various matters used in bhāva analysis in a systematic manner. This is however, not everything one must know to start analysing the horoscope. Before going to analysis of specific bhāvas which have their own set of specific principles, one need to have good understanding of the general principles. This serves as a good starting point in analysing bhāva. In subsequent lessons each specific bhāva will be covered that will reinforce the understanding of both generic and specific aspects of each bhāva. This is intended for those who have good understanding of Jyotish fundamentals such as rasis, grahas, bhāvas etc. May I pray to the Gurus to make the journey through this lesson easy and enjoyable.

bhāva significations The first step in analyzing a horoscope is to accurately understand the significations of the Bhava. A Bhava governs myriad of significations and it is not possible to list down each and every significations. However, the ones given by the Maharishis and other astrological savants can guide our thinking to the right direction should we find an area that is not listed. The secret is to understand what those authors wanted to convey.

Principle 1 Effect of natural benefics and malefics

15 Apr 2014


8

Effect of natural benefics Phaladeepika The bhāvas occupied or aspected by natural benefics or their lords bestow auspicious results that is expected from the bhāva provided they are not aspected by natural malefics. Rider: If the lord of bhāva is a malefic and aspects the bhāva, then it will not destroy the bhāva and still provide auspicious results. Additional points: • The intensity of the results due to benefic or malefic aspects is dependent on the intensity of the aspects. Planets give full aspects on certain houses and partial aspects on the others. •

The results of full aspect will be full, that of 3/4th aspect will be 3/4th and so on. The aspect on the natural malefics reduce the effects proportionally.

•

The auspicious results mentioned here are manifested if the planets placed or aspecting the bhāva are not placed in debilitation, combust or placed in inimical sign.

•

This also means that the auspicious results are enhanced when the said planets in exaltation, friendly, own sign or mūlatrikoṇa and are not combust or defeated in planetary war.

15 Apr 2014

Other classics Jataka Parijata There are 12 bhāvas such as Tanu, Dhana, Shahaja etc. If benefics are placed in the bhāva and if benefics or the bhāva lord aspect the bhāva then the bhāva prospers. The auspicious results of the bhāva is full if natural malefics are not placed in the bhāva or aspect it. On the contrary if the bhāva is conjoined with malefics or aspected by them the bhāva suffers destruction. If there are both benefic and malefic influences, mixed results are produced. Additional points:

This refutes the popular belief that benefics spoil the bhāva where they are placed and strengthens the bhāva where it aspects. Similarly Malefics placed in the bhāva strengthens the bhāva where it is placed and weakness the bhāva it aspects. This shows that placement and aspect of benefics are both good and placement of aspect of malefics are both bad.

Additional notes Regarding Dusthanas (6th, 8th and the 12th), prosperity of the bhāva does not mean increase in the negative results. This means increase of auspicious results and decrease of inauspicious results. For instance benefic influences on the 6th house cause reduction in enmity and litigations, such influences on the 8th house increases longevity and on the 12 house decreases unnecessary expenses. Balabhadra presents Satyacharya's opinion in the Hayan Ratna. He says Satyachayrya opines that "Astamastha saumya mrtyu hani kurvanti, papa mrtyu vriddhi kurvanti. Dvadase saumya vyayahani kurvanti, krura vyayavrddhim. Shasthabhāvastha saumya shatruhanim krurah shatruvrddhim kurvantiti. “ In Saravali (34.70) Kalyanvarma mentions that Jupiter, Moon or Venus's placement in the 12th house cause accumulation of wealth Thus influences of natural benefics on any bhāva manifests the auspicious results and mollifies inauspicious results pertaining to the bhāva. Malefics does just the reverse, thus manifest the inauspicious results and supresses the auspicious results. Yet it is said that malefics give auspicious results in upachaya bhāvas namely 3, 6, 10, 11. These are the houses of growth and need the influence of malefics as growth is essentially a selfish activity.

Natural benefics and malefics Parāśara 3.11

तत्रार्कशनिभप ू त्र ु ााः क्षीणेन्दरु ाहुर्ेतवाः। क्रूरााः शेषग्रहा सौम्ााः क्रूराः क्रूर्ुतो बुधाः॥ ११॥ tatrārkaśanibhūputrāḥ kṣīṇendurāhuketavaḥ | krūrāḥ śeṣagrahā saumyāḥ krūraḥ krūrayuto budhaḥ || 11||

Sun (arka), Saturn (śani), Mars (bhūputra), weak moon (kṣīṇendu), Rāhu, Ketu are the krūra planets. The remaining are Saumya planets. If Mercury (budha) is placed with krūra planets it becomes krūra; however if it is placed with weak Moon, it does not become krūra. Krūra candra: - Candra becomes krūra during Krsna dvadasi to krsna tritiya

- If conjoined with or aspected by other saumya grahas, it becomes saumya - If krūra candra is placed with Budha both of them become saumya. 15 Apr 2014

Order of Beneficence and Maleficence The order of planets in terms of decreasing beneficence and increasing maleficence is as follows:

Jupiter > Venus > Well associated Mercury > Waxing Moon > Ketu > Waning Moon > Badly associated Mercury > Sun > Mars > Saturn > Rahu Different classics have suggest minor variations in the order, especially the order of strong and weak Mercury and Moon. Jupiter is the most benevolent and Rahu is the most malevolent planet Jaimini When a bhāva is aspected by Jupiter, Mercury and its lord that bhāva is rendered very strong.

Other classics Aspect of bhāva by Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and its lord then the bhāva is rendered very strong 15 Apr 2014

Early death of father 1 Author The native’s father died in 1994 due to cancer and the native had to pass through untold hardship because of that.

The 9th house is placed with the Karaka and Bhavesha Surya, however, is also placed with Mars and aspected by Saturn. It is receiving good aspect of Lagna lord Jupiter and debilitated Rahu (75%) from the 12th house. Rahu is very negative in the horoscope because of Ayush debility in the 12th bhāva. A special vimshottari dasa applies for the native as the Subhapati is the Atmakaraka – i.e, Vimshottari dasa started from the Atmakaraka Mars sphuta (longitude). According to this, the father died in Mars-Rahu-Rahu.

22

Early death of father 2 Author’s younger brother The native’s father died in 1994 due to cancer and the native had to pass through untold hardship because of that.

9th house is placed with the lagna and the 8th lord Venus. Venus being the lagna lord does not carry the maleficence of the 8th lordship. The 9th lord is placed in the 7th house with exalted Karaka Sun. These are good placement of the 9th bhāva and the lord. However, Anitya Karaka (covered later) Mars is placed in badhaka sthana (which is 11th for a movable sign) and severely afflicted by Saturn and Rahu. The Karaka Sun is having exchange with Mars showing afflicting coming on the Sun. The affliction by Saturn and Rahu shows bereavement. The father died in the period of Moon – Moon. Moon is the Maraka from the 9th house being the 2nd lord and is placed in the 7th from the 9th house. It will also give the results of its Jupiter which is placed in the malefic combination in Leo. © Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhāva cintā 15 Apr 2014 23 v3

Early death of father 3 Author’s elder brother The native’s father died in 1994 due to cancer and the native had to pass through untold hardship because of that.

9th house is Aries with lagna lord exalted therein showing excellent bhagya related to father. However, it is placed with 2nd and 11th lord Mercury which is a functional malefic, but a natural benefic. This is not an adverse combination. However, the 9th is aspected by Rahu from the 5th house which is an affliction as Rahu is an enemy to the karaka for the father Sun. The 9th lord Mars is placed in Aquarius which is a neutral sign (panchadha maitri) and one Anitya Karaka (Mars’s dispositor) is Rahu who is afflicting Sun in the 9th. Another Anitya Karaka Saturn is in the 2nd from the 9th with the 2nd lord affecting longevity (placement in maraka bhāva) with Marakesh. The father died in Rahu-Saturn-Rahu.

15 Apr 2014


24

Early death of husband Author’s mother The native’s husband died in 1994 due to cancer and the native had to pass through untold hardship because of that.

7th house is vacant but aspected by 9th lord Sun- which is a good combination showing fortune after getting married. The 9th lord Mercury is placed in the 2nd house with two gurus Jupiter and Venus which is also a very good combination. However, the lord is placed in the 8th from itself which is not a auspicious combination showing trouble. 7th lord Mercury is placed with Karaka Venus – showing good married life. So the bhāva, Bhavesha and Karaka are well placed in the horoscope. The Anitya Karaka Saturn is placed in the 9th house (misfortune) and afflicted by Mars+Ketu (Pisacha yoga) in the 2nd from it (Ashubha yoga) and Gulika-Mandi in the 12th. The dispositor of Gulika+Mandi will be very inimical and is placed in the 4th house with Rahu (afflicting happiness- Sukha). The maraka to the 7th are the Moon (2nd lord) afflicted, the Sun placed in the 7th from it and the planets conjoining the 7th lord Merc in the 8th (from 7th) - Venus; Mercury being the 7th lord will not be a maraka (lagna lord for husband). The husband died in Venus-Rahu-Ketu. © Sarajit Poddar, SJC | bhāva cintā 15 Apr 2014 25 v3

Principle 2 Effect of dispositor

15 Apr 2014


26

What is dispositor? What is a dispositor? The lord of the place (sthana) where a planet (graha) is placed is called the dispositor of the said planet.

For instance, consider Sagittarius Lagna and Lagna lord Jupiter is placed in Aquarius, 3rd house. The dispositor of lagnesha Jupiter is Saturn and Rahu, the two lords of Aquarius. Similarly the lord of the nakshatra where a planet is placed becomes the nakshatra dispositor of the said planet The dispositors are very important and are an important source of strength of planets. Dispositors are the owner of a place (say house/ building) while the planets under consideration are the tenants. Say, if the owner of a house is weak and poor, the tenant of that house suffer anxiety.

15 Apr 2014


27

Impact of dispositors Jataka-alankara Whichever sign the bhavesha is placed, if the lord of that sign is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the Lagna, then all the auspicious results of the bhāva do not manifest. However, if the sign-lord is placed in exaltation, svakshetra, friendly sign, then whatever auspicious results shown by the placement of said bhavesha will manifest.

Excerpts from Bhrigu Sutra Sun in 3rd house (Bhrigu Sutras) buddhimān anujarahitaḥ jyeṣṭhanāśaḥ || 33|| paṁcame varṣe caturaśṭadvādaśavarṣe vā kiṁcitpīdā || 34|| pāpayute krūrakartā || 35|| dvibhrātṛmān parākramī || 36|| yuddhe śūraśca || 37|| kīrtimān nijadhanabhogī || 38|| śubhayute sodaravṛddiḥ || 39|| bhāvādhipe balayute bhrātṛdīrghayuḥ || 40|| pāpayute pāpekṣaṇavaṁśānnāśaḥ || 41|| śubhavīkṣanavaśāddhanavān bhogī sukhī ca || 42|| The native is intelligent and devoid of younger siblings and the elder siblings suffer destruction as well (33); the native suffers health troubles in the years 4th, 5th 8th and the 12th years (34); if conjoined with malefic, the native is engaged in cruel deeds (35); has two brothers and is valorous (26); he is extremely skilful and powerful in battles (37); he is famous and enjoys self-earned wealth (38); if conjoined with benefics, he is endowed with siblings who are also prosperous (39); if the bhāva lord is strong, the siblings are long-lived (40); if conjoined with or aspected by malefic, the native’s lineage suffers destruction (41); if however, Sun is under benefic aspects, he becomes wealthy, materialistic and happy (satisfied and contended). A planet gives good result while placed in a bhāva if it is under benefic influences and also the dispositor of the planet is well placed

Sanjay Rath, COVA The following have a direct bearing on the affairs of a house and should be analyzed carefully to determine prevalencei.

The bhāva, nature of the sign and planets conjoining or aspecting

ii.

The lord of the house (called paka), its strength and nature of the sign wherein stationed.

iii.

The dispositor of the lord of the house. This is called pakesha.

iv.

The lord of the navamsa occupied by the dispositor of the lord of the house. This is the navamsa

v.

The Arudha and Varnada of the house

vi.

The strength and position of the fixed (sthira), temporary (chara) and natural significators of the house

vii.

The house as reckoned from Arudha Lagna and Varnada Lagna

dispositor of the pakesha.

viii. The yogas (combinations) both good or bad in the house or wherein the lord of the house is involved ix.

The argala (intervention) of the other signs and planets as well as the virodhargala (obstruction). The prevalence should be ascertained.

x.

The strength and influence of the concerned Saham as well as detailed scruitiny of the concerned divisional chart.

There are various terms such as arudha, varnada, sthira, chara and naisargika karaka, yogas, argala, saham etc. That are not covered here and will be covered separately 15 Apr 2014


30

Applying the dispositor principle Step 1: Check which planets are placed in dusthana and / or afflicted. Call this planet A. Step 2: Find out which planets are placed in the house of planet A, call it planet B. Planet B will have weaknesses. If planet B is afflicted as well, the trouble to the bhāva is severe. Only those aspect of the bhāva will be protected whose karaka is well placed and have good association with the bhāva.

31

Illustrations The following examples shows the importance of the dispositor. However, this is not complete knowledge for predicting ill health and troubles. More will be learnt in the lessons on Rista and Arista for accurately judging and timing the troubles and misfortunes.

Bad health Author The author had severe respiratory problem and asthma from very young age. Later he was diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes.

Examine Lagnesha and karaka Sun and the Moon for health Lagna is placed with poisonous Mandi and the lagna lord is placed in marana karaka sthana in the 3rd house. The dispositors of the lagna lord are Saturn and Rahu. Saturn is well placed in dikbala in kendra, however the stronger of the two Rahu is placed in the 12th debilitated (ayus debilitation) with debilitated Moon. Health is a perpetual trouble for the native and it started right from birth in Saturn’s antardasa. Moon’s placement in the 12th debilitated and afflicted by Rahu and Saturn’s aspect on the lagna shows severe balarista.

Bad health George, Llewellyn George, Llewellyn Source: http://www.astro.com/astrodatabank/George,_Llewellyn Rodden rating: A American astrologer who greatly advanced the astrology of his day with his publication of books that include Lewi's "Astrology for the Millions," and "Planetary Hour Book.“ George was troubled with health problems, aphasia, in his later years. He died 7/11/1954, Los Angeles, CA. Aphasia is the disturbance in formulation and comprehension of language. This class of language disorder ranges from having difficulty remembering words to being completely unable to speak, read, or write

Examine Lagnesha and karaka Sun and the Moon for health Lagna is placed with poisonous Gulika and Mandi and the lagna lord Moon is placed in the 12th house, a dusthana with 4th and 11th lord functional malefic Venus. The dispositor of the lagnesha Mercury is placed in the 2nd house with 3 malefics Mars, Sun and Ketu and aspected by Rahu and Saturn. The comprehension of language comes from Mercury as it is the karaka for speech. Its affliction being the dispositor of the lagnesha and in the 2nd house (speech) with the 2nd lord also getting afflicted caused the illness.

For years, she nudged Americans into diet and health consciousness and is credited with raising the U.S. awareness on diet and lifestyle and its influence on health. In high school, Jane participated in various extracurricular activities and was editor of her school newspaper. One month before she graduated, her mother died of ovarian cancer, diagnosed less than a year earlier. Her mother’s death - as well as her maternal grandmother’s death from cancer three years earlier - had a tremendous impact on Brody.

Examine the 4th house and the Moon for mother’s death 4th house is empty and the 4th lord Mercury is placed in the 3rd house with 3rd lord Venus, 6th lord Sun and lagna lord Jupiter. Association of 6th lord Sun does bring trouble to the house it is placed and the planets it conjoined. In addition, the lagna is hemmed between two dire malefics Mars and Saturn with Ketu placed in the Lagna aggravating the trouble. During the dasa of Saturn, Mars and Ketu and antardasa of weak planets the troubles (flaws) in the horoscope will manifest. Mother died in Saturn- Mercury 15 Apr 2014

Shattrimsa-sama dasa: Applicable for day birth in Sun’s hora and night birth in Moon’s hora

Examine the 4th house and the Moon for mother’s death 4th house has retrograde Saturn causing affliction to the 4th house. 4th lord is the Moon and is placed in the 10th house Capricorn with 2nd and 7th lord Maraka Venus. There is an exchange between Saturn and Moon making the yoga between 4th and 10th lord very strong. Saturn is the dispositor of the 4th lord which is afflicting the 4th house and is hemmed between Ketu and Gulika/ Mandi. Moon being the karaka is also afflicted by Sun and Rahu on either side. According to the shattrimsa-sama dasa, the mother died in Sun and Rahu, afflicting the 4th lord Moon.

Examine the 9th house and the Sun for father’s death The 9th house is afflicted by Rahu and the 9th lord Mercury is placed in the 2nd house Scorpio, an enemy sign with two malefics Saturn and Sun. However, since Sun is the karaka for father, its placement with Mercury gives him support. Although Saturn is the yogakaraka, it still shows his malefic nature by afflicting the planets it conjoins. It is placed very close to Mercury compared to the Sun. The dispositor of 9th lord Merc is well placed in own sign (Mars) and exaltation (Ketu) and will try to bring social help to the native when in trouble. Father died in Mercury-Saturn shattrimsa-sama dasa.

Planetary dignities (1/3) BPHS 3.49-50 For the seven Grahas, from Sūrya on, the exaltation Rāśis are, respectively, Mesha, Vrishabha, Makara, Kanya, Karka, Meena and Tula. The deepest exaltation degrees are, respectively, 10, 3, 28, 15, 5, 27 and 20 in those Rāśis. And in the seventh Rāśi from the said exaltation Rāśi each Graha has its own debilitation. The same degrees of deep exaltation apply to deep fall.

Planetary dignities (2/3) BPHS 3.51-54 In Simha the first 20 degrees are Sūrya’s Mūlatrikoṇa , while the rest is his own bhāva. After the first 3 degrees of exaltation portion in Vrishabha, for Candra, the rest is her Mūlatrikoṇa . Mangala has the first 12 degrees in Mesha, as Mūlatrikoṇa with the rest therein becoming simply his own bhāva. For Budha, in Kanya the first 15 degrees are exaltation zone, the next 5 degrees Mūlatrikoṇa and the last 10 degrees are own bhāva. The first one third of Dhanua is the Mūlatrikoṇa of Guru, while the remaining part thereof is his own bhāva. Śukra divides Tula into two halves keeping the first, as Mūlatrikoṇa and the second, as own bhāva. Śani’s arrangements are same in Kumbha, as Sūrya has in Simha.

Thus Moon in 20 0’ 1” to 30 0’ 0” will be considered to be in deep exaltation point. Thus planets in 00 0’1” will be considered to be in 10 and planets in 290 0’ 1” will be considered to be 30. The degrees are based on the principle of Trimsamsa which spans for 10 each. ** In the matters of longevity

Subhapati Mars is having nearly 100% aspect from neutral planet (Black) Jupiter and Saturn, about 75% from great friend Ketu. Other aspects are insignificant. The periods of these planets will either promote (friend) or sustain (neutral) the significations of Mars. Venus is placed in a deadly enemies sign while Saturn and Ketu are placed in great friends sign. The period of Venus will be full of trials and tribulations while that of Saturn and Ketu will be great. 15 Apr 2014

Impact on results due to placements Jataka Parijata If a planet is placed in debilitation or an inimical sign then the bhāva owned by them are destroyed. If however, they are placed in mūlatrikoṇa, exaltation or own sign, it promotes the bhāva it owns. Additional points: These are mere illustrations of the impact positional strength of the planets on the results. The following slides gives more details of all the possible factors contributing to the positional strengths i.e, Diptadi avasthas. Both Satyacharya and Parāśara put strong emphasis on these avasthas.

15 Apr 2014


51

Additional notes on placements •

It should be noted that a badly placed planet (due to weakness and affliction) not only fails to protect the bhāva it owns, but also spoils the bhāva it is placed in. Destruction of a bhāva does not mean that all results will be inauspicious. It only means that there will be reduction of auspicious results. The reduction is proportionally based on the benefic or malefic influences on the bhāva, bhāva lord and the Karaka. There will be no auspicious results if all the three factors are afflicted by malefics and they are weak.

•

When malefics are placed in a bhāva (or aspect it) in strength (in exaltation, mūlatrikoṇa, friendly place or own sign) it does not give much inauspicious results. If the malefics are weak (debilitated, in inimical sign, or defeated in planetary war) then the inauspicious results are given without bounds. Similarly if the benefics are strong the auspicious results are given in full, however, if the benefics are weak then the results are still auspicious but their intensity is feeble.

•

With regards to the intensity of auspicious results the order of decreasing auspiciousness is as follows: Benefic in strength > Malefics in strength > Benefics in weakness > Malefics in weakness.

Additional points: The mental state of the planets have strong say on the results given by them. Lets take real life example to understand this. The role of a teacher (Guru-Jupiter) is to teach good things in life. However, the teacher would not teach the same way every day; the teaching will be affected by the mental state of the teacher. For example, if the teacher is delighted on a day (because he received an award for his stupendous service), he may be happy to teach all his trade secrets, however, on another day the teacher is very angry (because he received a demotion in his position), he may think that teaching is not worth it and instead of teaching may get irritated and give punishment to students without much pre-text. Thus the way in which the results are given depends on the mental and emotional state of the planets. 15 Apr 2014

Depending on such a state of the Graha, the bhāva, occupied by it will obtain corresponding effects.

Wicked

This is akin to planet getting stranded in a terrorist den. The planet will try all means to get out of the situation even if it means conspiring against the terrorists. This shows that even a very good natured person can become wicked if pushed to the limits. However, natural benefics will fight for selfpreservation, while natural malefics will conspire to finish all his enemies.

Kopa

Eclipsed by the Sun

Extremely angry

The planet is extremely angry as it is completely eclipsed by someone very powerful and becomes very destructive. Unless there are benefic influences to calm the planet down, the planet will bring havoc in the life of native through battles and conflicts.

Two states which are important by not mentioned in this scheme are debilitation and defeat in planetary war. Planets in these two states also become very weak in upholding its significations – functional and natural. 15 Apr 2014

Jataka Tattva on Avastha

Combustion/ Eclipse by Sun/ Helical setting When a planet (planets with body viz., Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) comes in vicinity of the Sun, its rays a obscured (eclipsed) by that of the Sun rendering it weak. Such planets are hardly seen on the sky. They rise immediately after the Sun has risen- this makes it impossible for the planet to be spotted on the sky due to brightness of Sun-light. They can only be spotted for a brief moment after the Sun is set in the western horizon – hence called Helical setting. On the other hand, when a planet is ahead of the Sun, it rises ahead of the Sun in the eastern horizon- hence called helical rising. This is extremely auspicious and represent a state where someone is out of sever penance and cleansing. However, not all planets become combust within the same distance from Sun. The orb of combustion is given belowVenus (8) > Jupiter (11) > Mercury (12) > Saturn (15) > Mars (17)

Defeat in planetary war BPHS 79.9 There is planetary war, if Mangala, Budha, Guru, Śukra and Śani are together (within one degree of each other),Śukra is the conqueror, whether he is in North, or South, but amongst the other four only one, who is in the North, is the conqueror and that in the South is considered defeated in the planetary war. In my opinion, this definition has a very specific use and to be used in mundane astrology as well as in the yoga of asceticism

Graha Yuddha is an advanced topic and will be covered in subsequent lessons.

At this point one need to keep in mind that planets get into war when they are placed within 10 from each other. They represent a state of fight and can represent fight in the area of the bhāva affected by that. The bhāva where the planets are conjoined is equally affected by the bhāva whose lord is defeated in the war. 15 Apr 2014

The baladi avastha shows the maturity of the planet and its level of energy to manifest the results. The best among all is the Yuga avasthas which shows the age of full capability. In Yuva avastha, the planet shows the ability to withstand any chanllenge and fulfill the objectives based on its functional significations. Planets placed in Vriddha and Mrita avastha has very low or no energy to pursue their objectives. The native will be very lethargic in the matters represented by the bhāva whose lords have gone tom the Vriddha and Mrta avasthas.

Other Avasthas These are no all about the avasthas of planets. Nature is very complex, hence we can’t oversimplify it by putting the emotional states in to few avasthas. There are other complex computations of the state of planets which affect both the quantity as well as quality of results. There are other avasthas such as Sayanadi avasthas which needs to be understood for more accurate predictions.

Principle 5

Reckon bhāvas from a bhāva

15 Apr 2014


68

bhāvas reckoned from a specific bhāva Phaladeepika Considering a bhāva as the lagna, check the houses 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th from there. If the mentioned houses are placed with the lord of the bhāva or natural benefics, then the bhāva prospers.

15 Apr 2014


69

bhāvas reckoned from a specific bhāva  The houses mentioned are the Kendra (1, 4, 7 and 10) and Trikona (5, 9), the Lagna and the 2nd house.

 The auspicious effect of the house is proportionally reduced if the said houses are conjoined with or aspected by natural malefic (excluding the lord).  Benefics on both sides of the bhāva cause subha-kartari yoga and malefics cause papa-kartari yoga. If benefics are placed in either 2nd or 12th, it causes Subha-yoga and malefics so placed cause ashubhayoga.

15 Apr 2014


70

bhāvas under consideration  The 2nd house is the house of sustenance for any bhāva and if they are placed with malefic, the bhāva suffers destruction due to lack of sustenance.  Similarly, the Kendras are the house of Vishnu and the Trikonas are the houses of Laxmi. If malefic afflict the Kendra from the bhāva, it suffers due to lack of good karma (Karma = Vishnu)  Similarly if the Trikona from the bhāva are afflicted, the bhāva suffers due to lack of blessings from Laxmi (Laxmi= fortune).

15 Apr 2014


71

2nd and 12th from a bhāva SJC Tradition  The 12th from a bhāva holds the trigger (start) of the significations of

the bhāva while the 2nd holds the key to end.  If 12th of any bhāva is afflicted, the significations either don’t get triggered or there are troubles/ delay in triggering the event.  Similarly if the 2nd from a bhāva is afflicted then the bhāva does not end well or it ends with a catastrophe.

15 Apr 2014


72

Malefics from a bhāva The upachayas 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th are the houses of growth. Planets placed here from any bhāva always help in growth of the bhāva. Among all planets, malefics in these places are more effective. Growth is a selfish activity as it means going ahead of others, dominating over them, getting better compared to the rest. Hence rajasic and tamasic planets are well suited for this activity. While Rajasic planets (Mercury and Venus) strive to get ahead of others without hurting others; tamasic planets (Rahu, Ketu, Saturn and Mars) try to do so by subduing,

annihilating and destroying others. Among the upachayas, 10th is a also a Kendra which mentioned before should be placed with benefics. Hence, excluding that we arrive at 3rd, 6th and 11th which are known as Trishadaayas. Malefics placed there contribute to growth and success of a bhāva.

Later, when we learn Narayana dasa, we will use this principle in determining the success or failure in a particular Narayana dasa of a sign. 15 Apr 2014

Principle 6 Dusthana effects (Impact of Dusthana on the bhāva results)

15 Apr 2014


74

Effect of 8th house Phaladeepika If the bhāva lord is placed in the 8th house or combust or debilitated or placed in an inimical sign and at the same time is devoid of conjunction or aspect of natural benefics, the results of the bhāva are completely destroyed.

Additional points:  Some opine that similar results happen even when the said bhāva lord is placed in the 8th from the lagna. 

In my humble opinion depending on whether the bhāva lord is placed in the 8th from the bhāva or from the lagna, different matters suffer destruction. When the bhāva lord is placed in the 8th from the bhāva, the relations ruled by the bhāva such as 4th for mother, 5th for children suffer in life, however, when the bhāva lord is placed in the 8th from the lagna, the native suffers due the matters of the said bhāva.



For instance, if the 5th lord is placed in the 8th from the 5th, the children suffer health troubles or troubles in their career etc. (depending on their indications), however if the 5th lord is placed in the 8th from the lagna, although the children prosper (8th is 4th from the 5th and it is mentioned before that placement of the lord in the Kendra from the concerned bhāva gives auspicious results), the native has to suffer on account of children due to conflicts etc.

15 Apr 2014


75

8th from bhāva vs. 8th from Lagna Should we conclude that placement of bhāva lord in 8th from itself spoils the Lagna or its placement in the 8th from the Lagna spoils it. Classics are not very clear on this. One of the interpretation is Intelligence (ability) vs. outcome – in other words, what you do vs. what you get. This point is illustrated below-

-

When reckoned from the bhāva, it shows our ability to apply intelligence pertaining to the bhāva. If well placed, this shows that the person has right resources and he/ she is capable of making right decisions.

-

When reckoned from the Lagna, it represents the results we get pertaining to the bhāva.

Very unfortunate Right decisions. The results are not good.

Zoran, SJC Serbia If a bhāva lord is well placed from the bhāva itself, then we can well use intelligence related to that bhāva, our decisions are good. If a bhāva lord is well placed from Lagna, then such decisions are good for us, whatever the resources of a bhāva are. For example, take Mithuna Lagna and Buddha in 4th house. From the 4th bhāva it is well placed as a lord, so our decisions related to home, property, place where we live are good. We will choose a nice house, at a right time and money. However, whether such a house will be good for us, make us happy and prosperous, is seen from the position of the 4th lord from Lagna. In this case , it is both, so good.


76

Clarification from Hora Shatak Hora Shatak 19-20 If a planet be posited in his own or exaltation sign in a Kendra or any other auspicious house; but be in the 8th from his own sign and be

afflicted by a malefic, the relative

denoted by that house lord of which be in the 8th from it, first gets life and loses it soon afterwards.

Remember- don’t underestimate the “afflicted by malefic” statement

Example 1 Libra lagna, Jupiter in 10th Cancer exalted, Mars in the 7th in own house. The younger brother will be short

lived. Here 3rd lord is in the 8th from its house although well placed from the lagna and aspected by Karaka Mars. The 3rd lord’s good placement caused birth of the younger brother, but the life is short due to placement of the lord of younger brother in 8th from its house. Example 2 Aquarius Lagna, Mars in 10th in own sign Scorpio, Saturn in 8th aspecting Mars. The younger brother will be short lived. Mars is well placed promising younger brother but its placement in 8th from its house and aspect by 1st rate malefic Saturn only bestow short life.

77

Impact of Dusthanas Jataka Parijata When a bhāva lord is placed in the dusthanas (6,8,12) or the dusthana lords are placed in a bhāva, inauspicious results are given pertaining to that bhāva. However, the inauspicious results are greatly curtailed and auspicious results are given when the bhāva lord is aspected by natural benefics. Additional notes: •

According to Prasna-marga chapter 14, 8th is consider as the most inauspicious.

•

According to Prasna-marga and Jataka Desha Marga, the bhāva or planets aspected by

the dusthana lords are afflicted as well. Thus if a bhāva lord is conjoined or aspected by dusthana lords, there will be some inauspicious results pertaining to that bhāva.

15 Apr 2014


78

Internal and external significations Prasna Marga bhāvas can be considered to have two significations, viz., external and internal. The external ones are as mentioned in the stanza Thanu, etc., and the internal ones are as given in the stanza Kala, etc. (20) The 'internal' always refers to the abstract while the 'external' actually refers to concrete events. Thus the external significance of the 5th house is children, a physical entity while the internal significance is pratibha which is only an abstract quality meaning intelligence. If the bhāvas are in any way connected with their lords, their internal attributes are enhanced. Otherwise their external aspects are predominant. (21)

The internal significations are attributes of the native while the external significations are the external things (or relationships) related to the native. For example courage is something the native posses, while siblings are external to the native. 15 Apr 2014


79

External and internal bhāvas Varahamihira External bhāva 1.15 The twelve houses from lagna have been given the following names: (1) Thanu, (2) Kutumba, (3) Sahotha, (4) Bandhu. (5) Putra, (6) Ari, (7) Patni, (8) Marana, (9) Shubha, (10) Aspada, (11) Aaya, and (12) Ripha. Internal bhāva 1.16 (1) Kalya, (2) Swa, (3)Vikrama, (4) Griha, (5) Pratibha, (6) Kshata, (7) Chitthotha, (8) Randhra, (9) Guru, (10) Mana, (11) bhāva, (12) Vyaya are names of birth, second, third, etc., houses, respectively.

Impact of Dusthana lords

15 Apr 2014


84

Dusthanas from the bhāva Phaladeepika: From a bhāva if the 6th, 8th or the 12th house is conjoined with malefics, that bhāva suffers destruction. Additional points: •

Previously it is mentioned that natural benefics should be placed in the 2nd, kendra or trikonas from the bhāva, hence we can say that benefic placed in the dusthana do not contribute the prosperity of the bhāva.

•

The aspect of the benefic from the said position on the concerned bhāva does not contribute to the wellbeing of the bhāva either as they bring the energies of the dusthana to the bhāva.

•

Thus no planets should be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the bhāva.

15 Apr 2014


85

Dusthanas Mantreswara If the lord of a bhāva is placed in the dusthana (6th, 8th or 12th) from the lagna, the bhāva is destroyed and the native suffer seriously due such destruction.

Rider: The concerned bhāva is protected from destruction if the it is aspected by natural benefics. Phaladeepika 6.57 A bhāva is also destroyed if they are conjoined with the dusthana lords. If however, the bhāva is aspected by natural benefics, the bhāva is protected.

Additional notes:  If the bhāva lord is placed in the 6th house, the destruction happens due to enmity, battles, shad-ripus (6 vices) etc;  if placed in the 8th house, the destruction happens due to own fault (nija dosa), debts, no return from the efforts etc.  if the bhāva lord is placed in the 12th house the bhāva suffer due to excessive expenditure (vyaya), forced relinquishment etc. 15 Apr 2014


86

Dusthana and troubles Prasna Marga 29 Sages have declared that the 6th, 8th and 12th lords are malefic in nature. A bhāva get destroyed under following circumstances.

(1) bhāvas aspected by or associated with the lords of these (2) bhāvas, the lords of which are associated with or aspected by the lords of these houses (3) bhāvas whose lords occupy 6th, 8th or 12th What is meant by destruction? The native will have inauspicious results related to the bhāva under consideration. The exact nature of the trouble will be shown by the dusthana causing the trouble i.e., conflicts (6th), diseases and debts (8th) or excessive expenditure (12th). Saturn being the karaka of Dusthana if influence the bhāva by aspect or conjunction with the bhāva or the lord increases the trouble. Remember Aspect or conjunction of natural benefics is a great saving force, unless the benefics are weak due to affliction or bad placement. Influence of benefics cause good results to manifest from the bhāva for example winning battles (6th), inheritance (8th) or foreign travel (12th) 15 Apr 2014


87

Benefics and Malefics influence on Dusthanas

15 Apr 2014


88

Placement of benefics Phaladeepika 15.18 To judge the effect of a planet see if where the planet is placed from the Lagna; whether it is placed in a friendly sign or own sign or exalted or inimical sign.

According to Satyacharya if saumya planets (natural benefics) are placed in a bhāva they bestow auspicious results related to the bhāva and placement of natural malefic cause destruction to the bhāva thus bringing out inauspicious results. This is reversed in the case of 6th, 8th and 12th house.

Additional notes: Placement of benefics in the dusthanas manifests the auspicious results of the dusthana bhāva. However, the natural and functional significations of the benefics may get affected unless they are strong and aspected by other benefics. Affliction of benefics in dusthanas cause tremendous harm to their natural and functional significations. 15 Apr 2014


89

Placement of malefics Phaladeepika 15.19 If malefics are placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house from the Lagna, they intensify the evil effects of those houses.

Benefics in these houses cause the destruction of evil signified by these houses. Although the placement of natural benefics alleviates the evil affect of the Trika houses, they themselves get afflicted. This means that although they (natural benefics) gives auspicious results related to the dusthanas they give inauspicious results related to their natural significations and ownership. Illustration: Say for Leo Lagna if the 2nd lord Mercury is placed in the 6th house Capricorn, the native will be freed from conflicts and enmity; however the signification of the 2nd house namely family and wealth suffer badly. The ill results of the 2nd lord’s placement in the 6th are felt most if there are no benefic placements or aspect on the 2nd house.

15 Apr 2014


90

Good influence of Dusthanas Although Dusthanas mean bad places and are primarily responsible for all the troubles that the native has to go through, under benefic influences they are empowered to bestow auspicious results. 6th house: If benefics are placed in the 6th house in strength and / or the house is aspected by strong benefics, the native is free from enemies and is protected from injuries and diseases. The person does not have to experience conflicts or fight legal battles in life. If Lagna lord is placed in the 6th under benefic influences, then such natives will do good in Army and Law as they will win many battles. 8th house: If 8th house is under influence of benefics, the native is protected from ill-health, gets wealth from inheritance or lottery (provided 2nd lord is connected). He/ she can raise fund from Banks (for business and enterprise) and can work as a fund manager (investment banker) as the person plays with other wealth. 12th house: When 12th house comes under benefic influences, the native spends on good deeds (charitable, philanthropy). Instead of incurring expenditure, he invests his wealth and accrue high returns. He relocates to a foreign land and prospers there. Remember Just by seeing a bhāva lord is placed in the 6th , 8th or 12th, do not jump to conclusion that the native will have difficulties pertaining to that bhāva. There could be some difficulties by the virtue of placement in dusthana, however, whether the native overcomes them or the troubles are insurmountable need to be seen from the influences on the dusthana and other salvaging factors. 15 Apr 2014

Principle 7 bhāva, Bhavesha and Karaka

15 Apr 2014


92

Tripod of strength Phaladeepika 15.6 The native suffers on account of the significations of a bhāvaa. If the bhāva, the bhāva lord and the bhāva karaka are weak. b. If the bhāva, the bhāva lord and the bhāva karaka are hemmed between natural malefics or conjoined with or aspected by them c. If 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 12th from the concerned bhāva is conjoined with natural malefic. Additional notes: •

While the 4th, 8th and 12th from a bhāva is the moksha trikona and controls the happiness, the 5th and 9th from the bhāva controls the blessings of Laxmi.

•

Natural malefic placed in such position cause suffering due to lack of bliss and blessings.

15 Apr 2014


93

bhāva karaka Phaladeepika 15.17 For judgement of any bhāvas the karakas are equally important as the bhāva and the bhāva lord.

If the bhāva and the bhāva lord is afflicted but the karaka is strong, the signification of the house is still salvaged by the karaka. On the contrary if the bhāva and the lord is strong by the karaka is weak or afflicted, the signification of the bhāva suffers. Hence it is important to take all the three factors into consideration namely the bhāva, the bhāva lord and the karaka. Affliction of one of the three factors can cause reduction of auspiciousness regarding the significations of the bhāva. The karaka of the houses starting from Lagna are (1) the Sun, (2) Jupiter, (3) Mars, (4) the Moon and Mercury, (5) Jupiter, (6) Saturn (7) Venus, (8) Saturn, (9) the Sun and Jupiter, (10) Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn, (11) Jupiter and (12) Saturn.

Anitya karaka Jyotish Samhita (Acharya Bhaskarakananda Lohani- Agrahayan publications) Quoting from an ancient Brigu Samhita

्र्भावर्ाधधपनत्कत्रराशौ वतकते।

तर्ाधधपनतरतर् भावान्तरर् र्ारर्ाः॥ yasyabhāvasyādhipatiryatrarāśau vartate| tasyādhipatistasya bhāvāntarasya kārakaḥ|| Whichever sign a bhavesha is placed, the lord of that sign becomes the karaka of the said bhāva. Pt. Sanjay Rath Anitya Karaka is called Rasi pati or sign dispositor. It is the doer of the work of the bhavesha. Comments The responsibility of the bhavesha is to protect the bhāva and that of Anitya karaka is to facilitate interaction with the external world and getting help from outside so that bhāva is capable of upholding its responsibilities (of protecting the bhāva)

15 Apr 2014


96

bhāva significations and their Karakas Each bhāva signifies multiple things, however, when a bhāva is afflicted not all the significations suffer equally. Some of them suffer more, some of them less and some of them do not suffer. This is because different matters in a bhāva are governed by different planets (called the karakas). If some of the Karakas of a bhāva is well placed and have good relationship with the bhāva or the lord, then it will try to protect those significations on the bhāvas. The following slides provide a high level view of the significations and which planet govern

those significations. For instance Health is seen from the lagna, but Moon controls the physical health. Where Sun governs the level of energy and vitality. If Lagna, Lagna lord and Moon all three are afflicted, then the native will have many sicknesses from young age. However, if Sun is well placed in the horoscope, aspect the lagna and/ or Lagnesha, then the native will have vitality to carry out his work in spite of ill-health. The list is not comprehensive and meant to be a good starting point.

Case 1: Genius- Analysis of 4th bhāva (1/5) Albert Einstein Einstein, Albert Source: http://www.astro.com/astrodatabank/Einstein,_Albert Rodden rating: AA German-Swiss-American scientist, a physicist who developed the theory of relativity in 1905, and the general theory in 1916, laying the groundwork for 20th century physics and providing the essential structure of the cosmos. He was awarded the 1922 Nobel Prize for his contributions to theoretical physics, especially for his discovery of the photo-electric effect law.

He learned to talk so late that his parents feared that he was mentally retarded, not until he was three, and was not fluent until he was nine. For awhile, he was considered subnormal because of his slow development, and his teachers were continually saying that he would never amount to anything. He had begun his education in 1884 at a Catholic school near his home, but in 1889 was transferred from the school to the rigid discipline at Lluitpold Gymnasium. He was kicked out of that school for disrupting class but by the time he was 13 he had read Euclid's geometry and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, two major influences on him.

bhāva:

No one is placed in the 4th but aspected by host of planets from the 10th bhāva. Of them Saturn’s and Sun’s aspect is not encouraging. The aspect of other planets Mercury, Venus will promote various activities of the bhāva.

Bhavesha: Mercury is well placed in the 10th house a Kendra but debilitated. However, the debility is cancelled by Venus’s placement in that sign and Mercury’s placement in the 10th from the Lagna.

Anitya Karaka: Jupiter is well placed in 9th house in a friends sign (compound relationship). Also Jup is considered very strong in Aquarius.

Case 2: Palatial house Mukesh Ambani Mukesh Ambani Son of Dhirubhai Ambani- one of the foremost business figure of India. He is known for his 2 million (USD) palatial house.

4th house is Capricorn with none placed there. It is aspected by its lord (very favorable). Let’s evaluate the karaka for landed property Mars and house Ketu. Mars is placed in the 8th house but having exchange with 8th lord so the effect is as-if placed in the 7th. Both Karaka for property and House are placed in the 6th from Karaka showing delay/ conflicts, but they are placed in Kendra from 4th and aspect the lagna showing gain of property eventually. Association of 9th and 11th lord with 2nd lord Mars showing a strong Dhana yoga contributing to the property.

Tripod of strength

(Bhava-Bhavesha-Karaka)

15 Apr 2014


107

The tripod of strength Success in any field comes when three factors work in harmony. If one of them is lacking, there is no complete success in that matter.

Karaka (Opportun ity/ God’s wish)

Bhavesha (Desires and Abilities)

Anitya karaka

15 Apr 2014

Achievement or Success

bhāva: The influences on a bhāva shows the native’s attitude towards that bhāva, the overall experience, positive or negative thoughts, optimism or pessimism etc. Suffering comes only when the bhāva is afflicted else, the native does not suffer due to lacking of a particular area in his/ her life.

bhāva (Attitude / Field of action)

Bhavesha: Bhavesha shows the abilities of the person and how strong the desire of the person has to achieve. This also shows whether the person has the ability apply intelligence in that matter. Karaka: Even if a person has very positive attitude towards something and ability to carry out the work, that does not mean that he will be successful if there are no opportunities. This is beyond person’s control and represent the wish of god.


108

Bhavesha and Karaka •

The bhavesha decides native’s experiences. If the bhavesha is subjected to benefic influences (conjunction or aspect of benefics), the native has positive experiences related to that bhāva. Similarly malefic influences on the bhavesha cause negative experiences.

•

If bhavesha is well connected with the nitya karaka, the significations of the bhāva flourishes. Bhavesha should be placed in the 2nd, Kendra (1,4,7,10) or Kona (5,9) from the nitya karaka.

•

If both bhavesha and nitya karaka are afflicted, the bhāva is sure to perish. •

•

Nitya karaka shows the blessings of god. If bhavesha is weak and afflicted, it is incapable of protecting its bhāva. If however, the nitya karaka is afflicted, the native is devoid of blessings and is cursed. Even if the bhavesha is strong, it will have very hard time protecting the bhāva and there will be constant trouble requiring native’s attention.

Anitya karaka is to deliver the fruits (results) of the bhāva (from external world) and to bring forth support from the society. If anitya karaka is also weak and afflicted, social support will be missing.

15 Apr 2014


109

Bhavesha and Karaka •

The bhāva represent the field of action (rasi) and is akin to the womb of the mother.

•

The bhavesha represent a person (graha) and is akin to the baby in the womb.

•

The nitya karaka represent the god’s will and represent the destiny of the baby in the womb.

•

The anitya karaka represent the social support.

There is constant interaction of the native (bhavesha) with the god (karaka). Following can be interpreted from the interaction: a.

Count from Bhavesha to Karaka (Effort): Bhavesha is the focus here, this shows what the native will do (desires, direction of intelligence) pertaining to the bhāva.

b. Count from Karaka to Bhavesha (Outcome): The Karaka is in focus here and show what god will give in return.

The bhavesha should not be placed in the Dusthanas from the Karaka. Placement of bhavesha in the 12th from the karaka shows suffering due to loss, however, placement in the 2nd from the karaka is a very auspicious position showing that the karaka (god) nourishing the native with all resources. 15 Apr 2014


110

bhāva and Karaka Count from bhāva to Karaka (Attitude): This represent the attitude of the native pertaining to a bhāva. If the karaka is placed in a dusthana from the bhāva, the native has a very pessimistic attitude pertaining to that bhāva. For instance if Jupiter is placed in the 10th house which is 6th from 5th house the native has conflicts with the children. Count from Karaka to bhāva (Fortune): What the native gains from the bhāva is shown by houses arrived after counting bhāva from the Karaka. For instance in the same example, 5th bhāva will fall in the 8th house from the Karaka showing that the native does not get any happiness from the children (8th – renunciation). Illustration: Jupiter in 10th: 10th is the strongest among the Kendra's and placement of Jupiter in the 10th is a great blessing. However, Jupiter goes to the 6th house of enemies from the 5th house. According to Chamatkar Chintamani, although the native is very religious (2nd from 9th) and honorable, he suffers due to wicked children.

15 Apr 2014


111

bhāva/Bhavesha-karaka sambandha Zoran, SJC Serbia: Karaka is the final authority of a bhāva. We may apply our intelligence very well, yet the luck may never come. So there are two factors: 1. Relationship of bhāva and a karaka 2. Relationship of a bhāva lord and karaka If a bhāva lord and karaka are in good relationship, we will make such decisions which will be supported by God, and our attitude is very good. It is the sign of a good karma related to that area of life. In opposite case it is akin to a curse.

Illustration: If Shukra is in kendra to 7th lord an attitude towards sexuality and partner is normal. If Shukra is conjoined 7th lord the sexuality is pronounced. If Shukra is in 5th or 9th house from the 7th lord too many rules or regulations may spoil the relationship, though the person’s relationship is purely based on purva punya or bhagya. However, the time factor becomes too important and a person may want a sex at one time, while the partner at another.

Posthumous birth Thomas Chatterton Source: http://www.astro.com/astrodatabank/Chatterton,_Thomas Rodden rating: DD British writer, England's chief poet of the Gothic revival and the youngest acclaimed writer of his day or mature verse. Chatterton was a posthumous birth, and never married or had children. He died of arsenic poisoning, a suicide on the night of 8/24/1778, London.

9th lord Mercury and nitya karaka Sun are placed in Scorpio being under papa-kartari between Saturn and Rahu (vayu- separation) showing death of father before birth. Jupiter in the 9th house didn’t help in protecting the father. However, placement of Jupiter in 9th had given him good fortune as he is renowned as England’s chief poet. Anitya karaka Mars is conjoined with Rahu and Ketu afflicts the moon (mind) showing lack of support from society.

No marriage Atal Vihari Vajpayee Source: http://srath.com/nations/politics/sri-a-bvajpayee/ Sri A.B.Vajpayee the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India needs no introduction. However, it is pertinent to note that there are at least three horoscopes in the market allegedly that of the PM. The most authentic data so far has his birth on the Christmas of 1926 (25th December 1926) at 5:03’AM (55 Ghati taking Sunrise at 7:03’AM) at Gwalior.

7th lord Venus and nitya karaka Venus is placed with Sun and Ketu in the 2nd house and aspected by Rahu from the 8th house. Venus a jala graha’s placement with two agni graha Sun and Ketu is very adverse. In addition Venus is placed in debility in the 12th house in the Navamsa rendering it very weak causing no marriage.

Lost child Indira Gandhi Source: A course in Jaimini Maharishi’s Updadesha Sutra by Pt. Sanjay Rath Indian politician: the P.M. of India 1966-1977. The daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, she grew up with the impassioned politics of India's struggle for independence. Raised in the political goldfish bowl as the daughter of India's first prime minister, she was given an excellent education, studying history at Oxford and speaking excellent French all her life. Of her two sons, Sanjay, who was being groomed for politics, was killed in plane crash, and her older son, Rajiv, was the one to succeed her.

5th has two lords Mars and Ketu. Mars is placed in Leo and is placed in 4th kendra from karaka Jupiter. Other lord Ketu is also well placed in 2nd from the karaka Jup. Mars is in exchange with Sun who is placed with Mercury showing strong political connection. Sign lord of Ketu, anitya karaka Mercury is also placed in the 5th, showing both her Son’s had the potential to be in politics. Both Anitya karakas Me and Su are well placed in 5th Sc and having exchange with the 5th lords, however they are under ashubha yoga caused by Rahu in the 2nd from them. One of her Son (Ketu) Sanjay Gandhi died during her Saturn-Venus period 15 Apr 2014

117

“When” bhāva are spoilt? (1/3) Phaladeepika 15.7 Destruction The planets causing destruction of the bhāva during its period are: a. The lord of 22nd drekkana (khara) from the bhāva b. Lord of the dusthana from the bhāva if they are devoid of strength Prosperity The planets causing prosperity of the bhāva during its period are: a. Malefics placed in the 3rd, 6th and 11th from the bhāva. Note that mentioned houses are classified as trishadaya and their lords are considered extremely evil by Parāśara. b. Benefics placed in the kendra (1/4/7/10) or trikona (5/9) from the bhāva Planets that are friendly to the bhāva lord as per naisargika sambandha

119

“When” bhāva are spoilt? (3/3) Phaladeepika 15.12 Here Phaladeepika gives additional dictum on the circumstances that cause destruction of a bhāva during their periods (dasa-antardasa)a. The planet that is adhi-satru of the bhāva lord b. The planet whose astakavarga is devoid of bindu’s (or rekha as per Parāśara) in the concerned bhāva. For instance in the Saturn’s dasa if the 5th house in

Saturn’s astakavarga is devoid of bindu, then the native suffers due to the matters related to 5th house in such dasa.

The details of Astakavarga will be covered separately. This is just to indicate that current learning need to be synthesized with other techniques as well for more accurate predictions. 15 Apr 2014


120

“When” bhāva are spoilt? (3/3) Phaladeepika 15.12 a.

According to another view say for Leo lagna, if in the lagna lord Sun’s astakavarga there are no bindus in the Pisces, then in the dasa-antar of the planets placed in Pisces the

native suffer health troubles (lagna). Thus if in the astakavarga of the bhāva lord there is a sign devoid of bindus, the planets placed in that sign will give inauspicious results during its dasa-antar.

The details of Astakavarga will be covered separately. This is just to indicate that current learning need to be synthesized with other techniques as well for more accurate predictions. 15 Apr 2014

Principle 9 Considerations from the Lagna lord

15 Apr 2014


122

Importance of Lagna lord Phaladeepika 15.9 The bhāva placed with the lagna lord prospers. Similarly if lagna lord is placed with a bhāva lord, the concerned bhāva prospers as well. If the bhāva lord is placed in dusthana (6/8/12) there is predominance of inauspicious result related to the bhāva. The inauspicious results are aggravated if the bhāva lord is weak in the dusthana.

However, if the bhāva lord is placed in strength, the inauspicious results are greatly curtailed and some auspicious results are felt.

15 Apr 2014


123

Lagna lord – always auspicious Phaladeepika 15.10 Phaladeepika explains that even if the lagna lord is a natural or functional malefic, it still has the potency to give auspicious results related to the house where it is placed. For instance for Aries lagna, Mars is a natural malefic and also owns a dusthana (8th). If such Mars is placed in the 5th bhāva under benefic aspects the native gets auspicious results on account of children. It is noteworthy that the auspicious results are strongly felt if the venom of the planet due to malefic nature and ownership and is greatly nullified by the aspect of natural benefics.

Whichever bhāva, the Lagna lord is placed or whichever bhāva lord the Lagna lord is conjoined or whichever bhāva lord is placed in the Lagna, that particular bhāva gains high importance and attention in the life of native 15 Apr 2014


124

Dasa of Lagna lord

15 Apr 2014


125

Lagna lord’s periods Phaladeepika 15.27 The lagna lord gives results of the bhāva whose lord it conjoins or the bhāva where it is placed in.

If the bhāva or the bhāva lord is strong, the native gets auspicious results pertaining to the house. If however, the bhāva or the lord is weak then adverse results are bestowed on the native. This indicate the matters of life that heavily influence the life of the native.

Illustration: If lagna lord is in the 5th house or the 5th lord, children will be a very prominent thing in the native’s life. If the 5th house is strong the native will be very happy regarding the children and vice-versa. 15 Apr 2014


126

Principle 11 Impact of dual lordship

15 Apr 2014


127

Extent and sequence of results Phaladeepika 15.11 When a planet owns two bhāvas then the result of the bhāva falling in the mūlatrikoṇa of the planet is predominant (100%) and the result of the svakshetra will be felt half (50%) during the period of planet . With regards to the sequence of results during the dasa of the planet, reckoned from the lagna the bhāva which comes first, the result of that bhāva will be felt in the first half of the dasa. Similarly the result of the bhāva which comes later while reckoned from the lagna will be felt in the latter half of the dasa.

Illustration Consider Jupiter dasa for Leo lagna, Jupiter is the 5th and the 8th lord; here 5th sign Dhanu is Jupiter’s mūlatrikoṇa while 8th sign Pisces is Jupiter’s own sign. Thus the result of the 5th house will be felt in full and that of 8th house will be felt in half during Jupiter’s dasa. In addition, the 5th bhāva results will be felt in the first half and that of 8th bhāva will be felt in the latter half.

15 Apr 2014


128

Sequence of results (other’s opinions) Phaladeepika further mentions the opinion of others regarding the sequence of manifestation of the results. He says that if a planet is placed in an odd sign then the result of the bhāva falling in its odd sign will be felt in the first part and the result of the bhāva falling in its even sign will be felt later. Similarly if the planet is placed in an even sign, the result of the bhāva falling in a even sign will be felt in the first part if the planet is placed in a odd sign will be felt in the latter half. Illustration: Consider Pisces lagna with 3rd and 8th lord Venus is placed in the 2nd house Aries. Since Venus is placed in an odd sign Aries, the 1st part of the Venus dasa will confer the results of 8th bhāva (coinciding with odd sign Libra) and in the 2nd part of Venus dasa the results of 2nd bhāva (coinciding with even sign Taurus) will be felt

15 Apr 2014


129

Auspicious and inauspicious bhāva Phaladeepika 15.29 When a planets owns two signs one of which is auspicious and another one is inauspicious, if the planet is placed in the auspicious house, then the results of the auspicious house will be predominantly felt (during the dasa of the planet). On the contrary if the planet is placed in the inauspicious house, that result will be predominantly felt.

15 Apr 2014


130

Impact on the other house Hora Shatak 1.16 Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are all lords of two signs. If any of these planets aspect any of his two signs and the sign be aspected also by a benefic, not only the house containing that sign flourishes; but the house containing his other sign also prospers.

Principle 12 bhāva sandhi

15 Apr 2014


132

bhāva sandhi impact Phaladeepika 13 Even if a planets is full of strength due to placement in exaltation, friendly sign or very high in shadbala, however, if placed in a bhāva sandhi then the planets becomes ineffective in giving the results (either auspicious or inauspicious) of the bhāva under consideration.

Additional notes: This always needs to be taken under consideration while predicting results due to placement in a bhāva in a dasa or antardasa. One should note that the strength of the result conferred by a planet due to its placement in a bhāva is proportionally reduced as it is moved away from the bhāva Madhya.

15 Apr 2014


133

bhāva sandhi Definition: A planets is supposed to be in bhāva sandhi if the planet is placed in the 5th Navamsa from the bhāva madhya reckoned in zodiacal or anti-zodiacal manner. bhāva Madhya The bhāva madhya of all the bhāvas are in the exact longitude of that of the lagna according to the equal house system.

Determining planets in bhāva sandhi Step 1: Note the longitude of the lagna Step 2: Add 15degree to the longitude of the lagna.

Step 3: Find the planets which are placed within 1degree either side of the longitude arrived at step2. 15 Apr 2014


134

Illustration Planets Jupiter, Saturn and the nodes are placed near bhāva sandhi, hence their results due to bhāva placement will be very minimal.

Remember A planet who may not give results due to its bhāva placement will still give results due to ownership and placement in a sign or nakshatra. 15 Apr 2014


136

Implication of bhāva madhya principle By implication, natural malefics should be placed in bhāva sandhi and the natural benefics should be placed in bhāva madhya. If this happens, the negativity due to placement of the malefics on a house will be greatly curtailed. Similarly such planets in bhāva sandhi will also not be influence any bhāva due to its aspect as the point of exact aspect will be far from the bhāva madhya. However, malefics so placed can aspect a planet and influence its natural as well as functional significations (due to ownership) if the said planet is placed in the orb of aspect. Orb of aspect need elaborate mathematical computation and is not covered in this lesson.

Principle 13 Effect of two planet combinations

15 Apr 2014


138

Introduction When two planets conjoin they undergo transformation. For instance when a person is with one’s mother his/ her behaviour or disposition will be very different from when he/ she is alone and similarly the disposition will be very different when the person is with a dear friend. Hence, once should not treat them as they are individually placed. There are many aspect to this transformation. One important aspect is all planets carry their rasi and bhāva significations in addition to their own natural significations. When planets conjoin they bring forth their rasi and bhāva significations in the conjunction and influence each other. For instance we understand that Jupiter gets exalted in Moon’s sign Cancer. So when Jupiter is

placed with Moon, it’s behaviour will be akin to his placement in Cancer. So when Jupiter and Moon conjoin the energies of Cancer prevail. Lets say they conjoined in Capricorn; such Jupiter and Moon combination can’t be equivalent to either Jupiter in Capricorn or Moon in Capricorn. Conjunction of planet can be compared to a soup whereby although we can identify which vegetable (similar to planets) are present, we can’t distinctly identify the

individual tastes of the vegetables distinctly. It’s the combination of tastes of each vegetable which defines the taste.

bhāva as Lagna

15 Apr 2014


144

bhāva as Lagna Phaladeepika 15.20 Whichever bhāva is under consideration, reckon that bhāva as the lagna and judge the results of the house as it is judged from the lagna.

For instance if the results of the daughter-in-law need to be judged then consider the 5th house as the lagna and take the 7th therefrom for the daughterin-law. Take another example, if the wife’s wealth need to be judged, then considering the 7th house as the lagna, the 2nd therefrom need to be judged for that. Thus any bhāva can be considered as lagna and the results of 12 bhāvas can be ascertained therefrom.

Considering a bhāva as lagna for a relation, the other relations can be derived by counting others bhāva therefrom. For instance considering 7th as the lagna of the spouse, the 3rd from the 7th i.e, 9th house signify spouse’s siblings. The relationship need not be blood relations. For instance 3rd house rules cousins and good friends who are like brothers; 4th rules anyone whom we treat as mother, 5th rules anyone whom we treat as our children such as students, followers, 9th rules anyone we treat like our father. 15 Apr 2014

Where to use it? Although this method can be used in rasi chart with fair degree of accuracy, however since Rasi chart is an accumulation of myriad of indications there is a limit to which one can be accurate. This however gives very accurate results in the divisional chart. For instance using this principle one can accurately predict everything related to siblings for instance, Sibling’s spouse, children, career etc.

More of this will be covered during study of the divisional chart.

Nitya Karaka as Lagna Nitya = Naisargika Karaka

15 Apr 2014


148

Karaka as Lagna (1/3) Phaladeepika 15.21 Yet another method of judging the result of various relations from the karakas. Considering the Sun as the lagna, various aspects of the father can be judged from the 12 houses therefrom; for instance father’s younger brother can be judged from the 3rd house from the Sun. Similarly various matters related to Mother can be judged from Moon, Mars for brother, Mercury for maternal uncle, Jupiter for children, Venus for spouse, Saturn for servants.

Additional notes: • One need to combine the techniques of considering bhāva as lagna as well as Karaka as lagna to arrive at fairly accurate results. For example, Father’s mother need to be checked from both 4th from the 9th house as well as 4th from the Sun. •

This method gives very accurate results in the divisional charts.

149

Karaka as Lagna (2/3) Phaladeepika 15.22 From the bhāva where Sun is placed father’s characteristics and attributes should be judged. From the 2nd house of the Sun father’s wealth and honour need to be judged. The 3rd house from the Sun should be judged for father’s brothers and his virtues. Father’s happiness and his mother should be judged from the 4th house from the Sun. Phaladeepika 15.23

From the 5th of the Sun father’s wisdom and status need to be judged. The 6th house from the Sun should be judged for his vices, enemies and the diseases. The 7th from the Sun should be judged for father’s relationships (sexual relationships) and business acumen should be judged. From the 8th house from the Sun judge father’s sorrows, longevity and death.

15 Apr 2014


150

Karaka as Lagna (3/3) Phaladeepika 15.24 From the 9th house from the Sun judge father’s righteous activities, auspiciousness and good fortune and paternal grandfather. Business and profession should be judged from the 10th from the Sun. The 11th from the Sun should be judged for father’s gain and the 12th therefrom should be judged for the loss and expenditure. Like the various aspects of the father are judged from the 12th houses from the Sun, similarly the judgement for Mother can be done from the Moon and so on.

Principle 15 Karaka harming the bhāva (Karaka bhāva Nāśaya)

15 Apr 2014


154

Karaka bhāva Nāśaya Phaladeepika 15.26 धर्मे सू्ाःक शीतगुबन् क धुभावे शौ्े भौर्माः पचचर्मे दे वर्मन्त्री र्ार्मे शुक्रश्चाष्टर्मे भािुपुत्राः र्ु्ाकत्तर् क्लेशमर्मत््ाहुरन््े॥ २६॥ dharme sūryaḥ śītagurbandhubhāve śaurye bhaumaḥ pañcame devamantrī kāme śukraścāṣṭame bhānuputraḥ kuryāttasya kleśamityāhuranye || 26|| Some opine that Surya in Dharm (9th)a bhāva, Sita (Venus), Guru (Jupiter) in the bandhu (4th) bhāva, Bhauma (Mars) in the saurya (3th), devamantri (Jup) in the 5th, Shukra (Venus) in kaama (7th), bhanuputra (Saturn) in the 8th cause troubles and distress.

There are some difference in opinions among other savants. For instance many believe that Saturn in the 8th house gives long life. More will be covered in lessons on effect of placement of Planets in bhāva. 15 Apr 2014


155

Example: Jupiter in 5th Sanjay Rath COVA, Chapter 8 , Page 171 If Jupiter is in the fifth house, there will be five sons of which three will survive. If the Jupiter in the fifth is in Pisces, very few children are seen while stronger Jupiter in Sagittarius (mūlatrikoṇa) children are obtained with difficultly. If Jupiter is even stronger by being in Cancer or Aquarius (Jupiter in Aquarius gives result akin to being in exaltation) in the fifth house, children will be denied. This is based on the principle Karaka bhāva Nashaya i.e., a natural significator placed in the house damages the significations. Other authors: •

Vaidyanath: Minister, virtuous, wealthy, few children; in cancer or Aquarius – no children; Pisces – less children; Sagittarius- beget children with difficulty;

•

Manasagari: wealthy, ardent following by friends, knowledgeable of many disciplnes, contented pleasant appearance.

•

Mantresvar: Intelligent, minister, troubles on account of children

Details of this will be covered in “placement of planets in bhāvas and Rasis” 15 Apr 2014

3 factors coming together Hora Shatak 1.4 If a planet be posted in his own house and be also the significator of that house, the result will either be very destructive or extremely good, because if any good or band influence falls on that house, all the three viz., the house, its lord and its significator are affected at the same time. The result will be either extremely good or extremely evil as the case may be.

Principle 16 Sambandha revisited

15 Apr 2014


158

Sambandha rules Phaladeepika 15.30 These are the general rules of Sambandha between two planets: a. Exchange (parivartana): When planet A is in planet B’s sign and planet B is in planet A’s sign b. Conjunction (Yuti): When two planets are in the same sign c. Mutual aspect (Paraspara drsti): When two planets see each other will full (100%) planetary aspects d. Quadrant (Paraspara kendra): When two planets are in kendra from each other e. Trinal (Paraspara trikona): When two planets are in trine to each other

Sambandha meaning (1/2) Exchange This sambhadha happens when two planets are placed in each other signs. This is the strongest of all sambandhas. In this case the planets give results due to their lordship as if they are placed in their own bhāva. However, their results due to placement in a rasi is unaltered and their natural result due to placement in a bhāva is also not altered. Mutual aspect When two planets mutually aspect each other, they like to engage in a partnership to do

some constructive (or destructive work) based on their nature. Placement – aspect (partial exchange) When planet A is placed in planet B’s sign, however, planet B instead of going to planet A’s sign aspect planet A or its sign.

15 Apr 2014


161

Sambandha meaning (2/2) Conjunction When two planets are placed together this sambandha happens. This is not considered to be an auspicious sambandha as both planets affect each other’s rays. They also being naisargika shatru (enemy) being placed together. Mutual kendra When two planets are placed in kendra from each other, they actively involved either supporting each other or opposing each other. They are very active and dynamic as Kendras

are governed by Vishnu representing Karma Yoga. The result of this yoga comes after hardwork. Mutual Trikona Planets placed in trine to each other behave similar to each other as Trine represent same

nature (same tattva). The result of this yoga is based on sharing the fruits and comes due to blessings of Laxmi who governs the Trine

Case studies The cases are taken from B.V. Raman’s Hindu Predictive Astrology. My greatest appreciation to this savant of Jyotishshastra.

15 Apr 2014


163

Case 1 One of the greatest men of Europe; born in humble circumstances as a blacksmith’s son; often starved without food; was a great revolutionary; has a sudden downfall and a violent death. Examine Lagna for the birth circumstances; Kendra and trine for rise in life. Lagna: See planets in Lagna  see Lagna lord  see the karaka for Lagna  see aspect on the Lagna see the houses from the Lagna.

Rahu is placed in the Lagna Libra in a friendly sign. Lagna lord Venus is placed in the 9th house with 3rd and 6th lord Jupiter. Venus when placed with Jupiter becomes very strong and the sign is akin to Pisces. In addition, Jupiter aspects the lagna from the 9th house. This is a very beneficial placement causing overall success in life. Why born in humble family? The karaka for birth circumstances Moon is placed in the 8th afflicted by malefics Mars and Saturn and the Lagna lord is placed in the 12th from the resource karaka Sun, indicating scarcity of resources.

15 Apr 2014


164

Case 2 Father died in the 2nd year, great strides in life; two wives; lost two sisters early. Examine Lagna for the birth circumstances; 9th for father; 3rd for siblings.

bhāva: See planets in bhāva see bhāva lord  see the karaka for bhāva see aspect on the bhāva see the houses from the bhāva.

bhāva: See planets in bhāva see bhāva lord  see the karaka for bhāva see aspect on the bhāva see the houses from the bhāva. 9th house Pisces with no planet. The lord Jupiter is placed in the Lagna defining the focus of the native’s life (that is revolving around matters of father). This is a good placement of the 9th lord which is also aspecting the Lagna. Why father died early? See the karaka! The karaka Sun is placed in the 12th house of loss (also in Marana Karaka sthana) showing that the native will suffer due to loss of father (or father going away). Sun is placed with friend Mars but afflicted due to placement with Venus as Venus debilitates Sun. Sun is very close to the bhāva madhya, so its placement in the 12th will certainly fructify. Looking at the kendra and trikona from the 9th house, Mars and Saturn are placed in Kendra, Moon is placed in a dusthana and Ketu is placed in a trikona. These planets do not support the 9th house. During the period of Sun-Moon, the native lost the father.

165

Case 3 A great politician and equal to a king in status; saved Europe from anarchy; humane and tactful.

Examine 5th bhāva and Karaka Sun for the power and position.


Lagna has Moon showing fame and the lord Mercury has gone to the 2nd house although afflicted by Mars and Sun (Aries) showing battles in life. Lagna lord Mercury’s conjunction with Sun makes the native very fortunate. 5th house Scorpio is empty but its lord Mars is well placed both from the Lagna and itself. Its placement with the Lagna lord makes the theme of the native’s life revolving around it. It is also placed with the karaka of the 5th house for power and authority Sun, making it very strong.

166

Case 4 Female, suffered seriously from smallpox in the 8th year and also from dropsy. Hot constitution, superior airs, died in her 14th year.

Examine Lagna, 6th and 8th house for health and 8th house for longevity.


Lagna has exalted Moon showing fame and high ideals while the Lagna lord Venus is placed in the 7th (Kendra) in a neutral sign. In addition, the Lagna lord is placed in the 2nd from the Karaka Sun (resources) and 7th from the Karaka Moon (health). Thus the Lagna is fairly strong. So why such negative experiences?

Lets check 6th and 8th houses for diseases. 6th house has heavy affliction due to eclipse of Sun by Rahu. The 8th house is placed with Malefic, 7th and 12th lord Mars. The supporters of the Lagna are Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. While the troublemakers are Rahu, Sun, Ketu, Mars and Saturn. The small-pox could have happened in Moon-Rahu-Mars and the native died in MoonVenus as Venus is a very strong maraka being lord of 6th with 2nd lord Mercury in the 7th house.

167

Case 5 Female, modest and chaste; strong combination for widowhood. Husband died in her 14th year.

Examine Lagna, 7th house for marriage.


Lagna has eclipse combination with the lord Venus placed in the 2nd house with the 2nd lord Maraka Mercury. Lagna is also aspected by Yoga-karaka Saturn who is conjoined with 3rd lord Moon. Lets examine the 7th bhāva for marital experiences. 7th house has Ketu and the 7th lord Mars is well placed from Lagna and 7th. However Mars is placed in a enemy’s sign but it is well placed from Karaka Venus. The Karaka Venus is placed in the 8th from the bhāva showing negative experiences related to marriage. The supporters of 7th house are Moon, Mars and Jupiter. The trouble markers in the order of reducing maleficence are Sun, Rahu, Saturn, Venus, Mercury and Ketu. The husband died in probably Venus-Sun. Why? When reckoned from 7th, Venus is a Maraka and Sun in afflicted in the maraka bhāva.

However Mars is placed in a enemy’s sign but it is well placed from Karaka Venus. The Karaka Venus is placed in the 8th from the bhāva showing negative experiences related to marriage. The supporters of 7th house are Moon, Mars and Jupiter. The trouble markers in the order of reducing maleficence are Sun, Rahu, Saturn, Venus, Mercury and Ketu. The husband died in probably Venus-Sun. Why? When reckoned from 7th, Venus is a Maraka and Sun in afflicted in the maraka bhāva.
