1. Introduction Even though all parts or organs of the body are important, the heart is the most important of all as it holds the life of a person. If the heart stops beating (stops the pumping of the blood), the person is considered as dead. The horoscope which consists of twelve Rasis, nine Planets and Twenty Seven Nakshatras is like a heart and the most important part which holds the life of the horoscope is called as Lagna. When a child is born, what is its life term? Astrology explains the Characteristics of a person. The mode of dressing, the gait, the manner, external appearance followed by his kith and kin, wife, children, family position, friends, health, education, profession, marriage, wealth, finance, independence and so on and so forth are all clearly seen through the horoscope. But to deduce and arrive at the above information, Lagna is the foundation or the principal root.

1.1. Horoscope For us on earth, we consider that Sun is going round in the sky. This imaginary path of the Sun is called as ecliptic. The explanation as given in Wikipedia is worth reading at this juncture: “The ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun on the celestial sphere as seen from the Earth’s center and also the plane of this path, which is essentially coplanar with the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.” For about 9 degrees on either side of this ecliptic, a circular region is created and this is called as “Rasi Mandal” or zodiac. For all practical purposes the zodiac is considered to be a circle of 360 degrees. This 18 degree zodiac on either side of the ecliptic holds within itself all the 9 planets and the 27 nakshatras. The planets are not stationery but are constantly moving within this zodiac. Each planet has its own speed of movement. When a child is born, the position of planets in the zodiac is captured and that is called as a horoscope. This horoscope is called as Rasi Chart.

1.2. Rasi The movement of Sun around the earth is an apparent one as stated earlier. Earth rotates around its own axis. It rotates towards the east. Based on this rotation of the earth 11

and as seen from a particular place on the earth, the position of planets in the zodiac is determined and this becomes the basis for constructing a horoscope. The earth’s rotation is opposite to that of the zodiac. The earth rotates once in every twenty four hours. Since the zodiac is considered as a circle, there is neither beginning nor an end to this. Hence our ancestors have considered the zero degree of the nakshatra Aswini as the starting point of the zodiac. And this circle of 360 degree was divided into 12 parts with each part having 30 degrees and is termed as Rasi. These 12 Rasis have been named as below: (Only English names have been given for a better understanding) 1. Aries; 2.Taurus; 3. Gemini; 4. Cancer; 5. Leo; 6. Virgo; 7. Libra; 8. Scorpio; 9. Sagittarius; 10. Capricorn; 11. Aquarius; 12. Pisces. These Rasis begin in zero degree of Nakshatra Aswini and end in 30 degree of Revathi.

1.3. Lagna As the rotation of the earth is anti-clockwise with respect to the zodiac, it crosses all the 12 Rasis in a day. When a child is born at a particular time in a particular place that Rasi which rises in the east at that point and place is called as the rising Rasi which is otherwise termed as Lagna. This is also known as Janma Lagna. The exact longitude of rising of that Rasi is called as the Lagna point. This is arrived at by taking into consideration the longitude of the Sun at the time of birth. This Lagna is the important Life force of the person like that of a heart to him. Based on this Lagna only, the ownership of the Bhavas, Planets are determined. If this Lagna is not calculated correctly, position of planets, its ownership as well as its powers will change and hence the results will also vary. Hence the Lagna must be worked out with utmost correctness.

1.4. Bhavas Wherever Lagna is placed that is called as the First Bhava. The remaining 11 Rasis are termed as- 2 - Dhana Bhava (wealth); 3 – Bhratru Bhava (Co-borns); 4 – Mathru Bhava (Mother); 5 – Pithru Bhava (Children); 6 – Sathru Bhava (Enemies); 7 – Kalathra Bhava (Spouse); 8 – Ayul Bhava (Longevity); 9 – Pithru Bhava (Father);10 – Karma Bhava (Profession); 11 – Labha Bhava (Gains) and 12. Moksha Bhava (Emancipation). So based on Lagna the other Bhavas are determined as above. 1. Each planet has its own Karakatwa (Significance). 2. Each Bhava also has its own Karakatwa (Significance). 12

A planet gives its results based on its own significance coupled with the significance of the ownership of the Bhava it gets (based on Lagna position).

A planet depending on the signification it attains on account of ownership of a bhava as well as its own significations produces the results based on its placement in the horoscope. With this introduction let us proceed to analyse all the 12 Lagnas.

21

2.1. General Points: Out of the 12 Rasis the first Rasi is Aries. The 12 Rasis are considered as the limbs of Kalapurusha. Aries is considered as the Head of the Kalapurusha. For an individual the Lagna will denote the head. Aries is a moveable, Odd and odd-footed (vishamapada or ojapada) Rasi. Its symbol is a Ram or sheep. It is a male Rasi and is considered as malefic or cruel. It has a bilious (Pitta) temperament. It is blood-red in complexion, strong during night, related to Kings, rises with its back (Prishtodaya) and its ruler is Mars. It has a prominent (big) physique, indicates courage, wanders in hills, a quadruped sign, resides in the east, predominates in Rajo guna and it is fiery in nature. Aries belongs to Kshatriya Varna. The Nakshatras included in this Rasi are Aswini, Bharani and 1st Pada of Krittika. This is also the Moolatrikona house of Mars and extends up to 12 degrees. The remaining 18 degrees is considered as its own house. Aries is indicative of precious stones, forests and minerals. In this Rasi – Jupiter and Rahu are friends, Ketu is enemy, Moon, Venus and Mercury are equal, Sun gets exalted and Saturn gets debilitated. Sun’s deep exaltation point is 10 degrees and Saturn’s deep debilitation point is 20 degrees. 2.2. General results: Native born with this Lagna have lean body, long neck. Their nose will be prominent and they will possess beauty. They will have a majestic appearance. Courageous, intelligent, cleverness, humbleness, eloquences, capability of argument, dear to the general public, stubbornness, interested in Shastras, hot-tempered, will have a helping tendency sacrificing his own benefits, capable of taking any responsible work and finishing it are some of the qualities of persons born under this Lagna. But he often gets excited.

22

He has a vast general knowledge. He will be following his own intentions and thoughts. He will engage in activities which will not harm his status and dignity. Even though he appears to be stupid person, he is capable of keenly watching what is going on around him. His walk will be erect; his eyesight will be tender but will have keenness. Long neck, long nose, beautiful lined teeth, bushy eyebrows, sliding shoulder, long hands, prominent long ears, thick curling hair are the appearance of Aries Lagna people.

2.3. Results of Nakshatra: Those who are born in Aswini Nakshatra are capable of finishing the taken work without any shortcomings, a liberal donor, a valiant person, will not tell a lie, interested in ornaments, famous but will get angry even for small things. Persons born under Bharani Nakshatra are dear to their parents, intelligent, famous, clever, and eloquent and will have less sleeping comforts. Persons born under the first pada of Krittika will be following the assigned customs, a highly learned and eminent person, a nobleman, a veteran warrior or hero, wise person but will be prone to diseases. These are the opinion of the author of Jataka Alankaram and they are only general results.

2.4. Results of planetary ownerships: 2.4.1 Mars: Mars is also owner of the 8th house besides being the Lagna Lord. As per the rule “If the Lagna Lord also becomes lord of the 8th house he becomes full benefic”, Mars is a fully benefic planet for Aries Lagna. If the army Chief Mars is placed in Lagna in his own house or in the exaltation position in the 10th (in Capricorn), the native will have a perennial blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Education will be in the fields of engineering, Science or Law. Profession may also be in the same line. Courage, very active, engaging in anything with seriousness, always suppressing others with authority, luck in all matters are all the results that Mars will produce. If Mars is placed in the 8 th house, long life, foreign journey, research activities will b the results. If Mars is placed in the 1 st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 10th or 11th houses, that will yield good results for Aries Lagna people. Mars should be in strength. If Mars is weak, longevity will be curtailed. In addition there is a 23

possibility of getting affected by diseases like hernia, hydrocele, piles, Phlegm which will yield bad results. Mars gets debilitated in the 4th house in Cancer and If Jupiter joins as he is exalted there Mars gets Neecha Bhanga.

2.4.2. Venus: Venus gets the lordship of the 2nd and 7th house for Aries Lagna. Aries being a movable sign, both the places are maraka places and hence Venus becomes a worst malefic. Further ownership of the 7th house being a Kendra, Kendradhipatya Dosha also is applicable. But both the houses are important houses. 2nd house indicates family, finance, education, speech and eloquence thereof, right eye, food, status. 7th house indicates spouse, vigour, business, partners. Hence these should get strengthened. As the saying goes “If a bad fellow gets spoiled he will produce Rajayoga”, if Venus is placed in the bad houses like the 6th, 8th or the 12th, he will do good. If he is placed in the 2nd house then also he will give benefic results. If he is in the 2nd house with Mars and Jupiter, in the 4th house with Moon, in the 9th house with Jupiter or Mars, with Sun in Lagna, with Sun and Mercury in the 11th house will give good results. If he is placed in the 12th house of exaltation, that will produce good Yoga results. Venus should not be placed in any Kendra. The spouse of Aries Lagna native will be higher in all aspects of life or at least equal. Fortune is expected through spouse.

2.4.3. Mercury: Mercury owns the two bad houses – the 3rd and the 6th house and as such becomes a full malefic. For Mars, Mercury is an enemy, though Mercury treats Mars as equal. The third house indicates acting on own, courage, capability of writing, air travel, security, information and broadcasting. It also indicates profession in these lines. Hence If Mercury is with strength, the financial position will improve. The higher he is spoilt, the better will be the economy of the native. But at the same time the results of the third house will get spoiled. It is better if Mercury is placed in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th or 10th houses. It is not that much good if he is placed in the 11th house. Being lord of the 6th house, if he is placed in the 2nd house, the native may be a teacher or a professor.

2.4.4. Moon:

24

Mother, house, vehicle, comforts, skill, milk, cow, relations are the indications of the 4 th house lord Moon and he becomes the Matru Karaka. Being a karaka for mind and also because of the friendship the Lagna lord holds with Moon, he becomes karaka for excitedness. Moon is considered as the queen of planets. Even if he is placed in his own 4th house, “Karka Masthi Bhaveshu” dosha will not be applicable and the effects on account of this will be only less. Good education, Government job, Ship engineer, fitness, chemistry, research will be the line of profession if he is placed in the 10th house. Moon should not be placed in the hidden houses of 6th, 8th or 12th. He should also not be placed in the enemy house and should not be in debilitation. (Scorpio which is the 8 th house for Aries Lagna is the house of debilitation of Moon. There are no enemies to Moon which should also be borne in mind.) If Moon is placed in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th or 10th is good. 2.4.5. Sun: The 5th house is an important house and is indicative of Purva Punya, learning, conception, discourse of the learned, attainment of Mantra powers and Excellency of knowledge. Sun, who is considered as the King of the Planets and also a friend of Lagna Lord holds the ownership of the most important house. Benefits through Government or Officers, success in examinations pertaining to the department where one is employed and securing a higher post are some of the benefits of the 5th lord. He is a complete Yoga karaka planet. If he conjoins Jupiter or Moon it will be a Rajayoga. If he is exalted in Lagna, the native may become a Judge or a high Government official. If he is placed in the 9th house, there will be fame amongst the kinsmen, writing famous books, Government job are all possible. Children will have good education and status and will shine well. If this 5th lord is in the 10th house, then also the above stated results will materialize. If he is placed in the 4th house, happiness of mother, benevolence of Goddess Lakshmi, fame, authoritative post and procreation of children will be some of the benefic results that will come. Generally, being the 5th lord, if he is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house it is good. Places other than the 6th, 8th or the 12th and the houses which are inimical to him as also its debilitation house (Libra) are all good.

2.4.6. Jupiter: Jupiter owns the 9th and 12th house is a friend of the Lahna Lord, Mars. 9th is a strongest trikona and hence the blemish on account of the 12th lordship gets minimized and makes Jupiter a full Rajayoga planet. 9th house indicates father, happiness on account of father, devotion, Dharma, doing virtuous or religious deeds, wealth. As these are good 25

results the 9th lord should be strong in the horoscope. If so, fame, position, income, education, house, vehicle and such other good things will be coming in the life of the native and on account of which superior things in life as well as status will be bestowed. 12th house is the house of emancipation or Moksha. Additionally bed comforts, job in a foreign country and loss are denoted by it. Since the 9th house is the Moolatrikona of Jupiter, the results of the 9th house will dominate and Jupiter will behave like a ‘Karpaga tree’. 9It is a miraculous tree in the world of Indra yielding whatever desired). If Jupiter is placed in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th or 10th houses good results will be forthcoming. If he is placed in the 6th house his aspect will be on the 10th house of livelihood, if placed in the 8th house, the aspect will be on the 2nd house of wealth and the 4th house of comforts and if placed in the 12th house his aspect will be on the 4th house of comforts and the 8th house of longevity and hence all these aspected houses will be flourishing. If he is in the 10th house, he is capable of inflicting death also.

2.4.7. Saturn Saturn becomes the lord of 10th and 11th houses. 10th house is the house of profession or business, authoritative position, true wisdom, worship, devotion to God, greatness or honour, to wash the sins of the father. 11th house indicates elder siblings, gains, clothing, collection of ornaments, knowledge, servants, younger wife (2nd wife). Being the Kendra lord of the 10th house and the lord of the 11th badhakasthana Saturn becomes malefic. (For movable Lagna 11th house is the Badhakasthana). Because of this blemish only the health will get affected but the gains will not be disturbed is the thinking of some elders. If the lord of the Badhakasthana is placed in a trikona, the Dosha gets nullified and he becomes a benefic is the ruling given by Pulippani Sithar. This is applicable to all Lagnas. Hence Saturn must be placed either in the 5th house or in the 9th house and if so the results of the Badhaka lord will not happen. The profession or business will be based on his Karkatwa. Since it is a sign of a labor or an industrious person, many times, the profession will be such as getting a monthly salary. Business may be dealing in items like - Iron, fertilizer, sugar-cane, grains, oil, root vegetables, old iron parts, and spare parts of machines. Engineering education connected Vehicle, airplane, ship is also possible. May indulge in politics also. In case Saturn is associated or conjunct with Sun and Rahu and with the 2nd house or lord of the 2nd house, the field of education may be medicine. Saturn is called as the “King Maker”. If he is placed in the 10th or the 11th house with benefic strength, even a person placed in rubbish will be lifted up and placed on the top of a tower. That is to say even if born in a poor family he will attain the greatest heights in life. But he is also capable of plunging the native into an abyss suddenly. The 10th house of Capricorn and

26

the 10th house from the Moon as well as the Navamsa Lord of Saturn will determine the native’s profession or business.

2.5. Other treatises on Aries Lagna: It is worth remembering some findings in various other treatises which talk about Aries Lagna.

2.5.1 Chandra Kaviyam ( A Tamil treatise): According to Chandra Kavyam, even though Jupiter and Venus are malefics but will not inflict death. Saturn and Mercury are capable of inflicting death. Out of these who will be the maraka will have to be analysed and stated. The relevant Tamil verses are produced here: மென்மெட லக்கினத்தை மெவிப் பிறக்கிலிந்து ெண்புகர்ொலும் சனியும் பாவி ரவி – நன்குருமசய் நீடுநல்வர் பாக்கிய கர்ொைிகுரு மநர்சனியும் கூடியிடில் மயாகெில்தல கூறு. (48) கூறுெந்ை னார்குருவும் பாவிமவள்ளி மகால்லான்பின் மவறுசனியும் புைனும் விண்டு மகால்வன் – மைறிப் பகுத்ைாிந்து பார்த்துப் பலாபலன்கள் கண்மட மைாகுத்துதரமயா மயல்லாத் துடர்ந்து.

2.5.2. Jataka Chandrika: मन्दसौम्य ससतााः पापााः शभु ै गरुु सिवाकरौ। नशभु ं योगमात्रेण प्रभवेच्छसनसिवयोाः॥४१॥ Meaning: A person born in Aries Lagna has Saturn, Mercury and Venus ill disposed towards him. Jupiter and Sun are auspicious. The simple combination of Jupiter and Saturn produces no beneficial results.

27

परंत ु तेन िीवस्य पापत्वमसप ससध्यसत। कसवस्साक्षान्नहन्तास्यान्मारकत्वेन लसक्षताः॥४२॥ Meaning: But on the other hand Jupiter when combined with Saturn, not only does not give good but will actively produce evil. Venus does not himself kill the native although he possesses death-inflicting powers. Jataka Chandrika goes on to add that evil planets like Saturn etc. will kill the native. He takes Saturn first and then Mercury and occasionally includes Moon. Mercury is bad as he owns the 3rd and the 6th and Moon because of the Kendradhipatya Dosha become bad. Moon if he is full, he will be classified as good and his owning one of the quadrants (Kendra) is bad and he may, by evil combinations, produce death. But if he is weak, then his owning the quadrant is auspicious and he will do good. 2.5.3. Pulippani Jothidam: Saturn will give lot of malefic results. If he gives home, money and land, he will cut short longevity. On the contrary if he occupies trikonas, the native will live long with money. On no account Saturn should occupy a Kendra.

2.6. Benefic-Malefic Explanations: Benefics: Sun, Mars, Jupiter Yogakarakas: Sun, Moon, Jupiter (Half benefic), Saturn (Half benefic) Malefics: Mercury, Venus, Saturn (Half malefic) Marakas: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter

2.7. Important events and their timings: 2.7.1. Mother’s death: In the following Mahadasa-Antardasa it is likely that the native’s mother may be subjected to diseases or some troubles or even death. The Dasa, Antardasa are interchangeable. In Rahu Dasa the Antardasas of Rahu, Saturn and Venus. 28

In Sun Dasa the Antardasas of Rahu, Jupiter and Venus. In Rahu/Ketu dasas the Antardasas of Saturn, Mercury and Venus. In Mars dasa the Antardasas of Mars, Jupiter and Venus.

2.7.2. Father’s death: Sun dasa – Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury Antardasas. Venus dasa – Venus, Sun, Rahu, Saturn Antardasas. Rahu dasa – Rahu, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter Antardasas. Saturn dasa – Mercury, Venus, Jupiter Antardasas. Mercury dasa – Mercury, Mars, Saturn Antardasas. Ketu dasa – Mars, Saturn, Mercury Antardasas. In the above given dsas-antardasas, father may be afflicted by diseases or troubles or losses and even death.

2.7.3. Sibling’s blemishes: The Antardasas of Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in the dasa of Jupiter. The Antardasas of Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in the dasa of mercury. The Antardasas of Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in the dasa of Rahu. In the above periods, there is a possibility of enmity amongst brothers, troubles and losses on account of siblings or troubles and losses for siblings or death to them.

2.7.4. Marriage: Jupiter dasa – Saturn, Mercury, Sun, Moon, Rahu Antardasas. Saturn dasa – Venus, Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Rahu Antardasas. Sun dasa – Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Sun, Rahu Antardasas. Venus dasa – Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury, Rahu Antardasas. In the above stated periods, marriage is likely for both the boy and the girl. Further for all Lagna natives, the houses related to marriage are the 2nd, 7th, 8th and 12th. Related to marriage, the above houses indicate the family, Spouse, Mangalya (a marriage badge), bed pleasures respectively. Lords of these houses or the planets placed in these houses are also capable of bringing marriage in their dasa-antardasa. Experience shows that when a 29

person is running Rahu dasa, Mercury Antardasa or Mercury dasa-Rahu Antardasa, marriage happens. 2.7.5. Kalathra Dosha (Blemish of spouse): Jupiter dasa – Saturn, Ketu, Mars, Rahu Antardasas. Rahu dasa – Jupiter, Saturn, Ketu, Venus Antardasas. Mercury dasa – Ketu, Mars, Rahu, Saturn Antardasas. In the above dasa-antardasa, wife or the husband may suffer hardship, losses, some crisis, diseases or death. Experience shows that in the above periods marriage as well as separation/death/miseries have happened. Hence if marriage does not happen in the above periods it is good. If Sun, Mercury and Rahu are conjoined and placed in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius it is doubtful whether marriage will take place. Even if it happens it is a question whether there will be any sexual relations between the couple.

2.7.6. Issues: Dasa Jupiter Saturn Sun Moon

Antardasa Saturn, Sun, Moon Venus, Sun, Moon, Jupiter Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Sun

In the above periods there is likelihood of birth of children or good results may materialize.

2.7.7. Putra Dosha: (Blemish of children) Dasa Jupiter Rahu Mercury

Antardasa Saturn, Ketu, Mars, Rahu Jupiter, Saturn, Ketu, Mars Ketu, Mars, Rahu, Saturn

In the above periods children may face difficulties, losses, diseases and sometimes death may happen. 30

2.7.8. Yoga periods: Dasa Sun Moon Rahu Jupiter Saturn Venus

Antardasa Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn Jupiter, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars Jupiter, Venus, Moon Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

In the above periods beneficial and good results are likely. It will be an auspicious time to start any new venture. If all the above planets are conjoined with benefics or placed in benefic places or during transit occupies benefic places, it is good.

2.8. Maraka planets: Venus, Mercury and Saturn are the maraka planets. Possible combinations are given below: 1. Venus being the lord of 2nd and 7th becomes a maraka. But as per the general rule, if a planet is lord of two maraka houses, it will not inflict death. Hence Venus will not be a maraka. This fact is stated in Chandra Kaviyam, Thandavamalai and Jataka Alankaram. 2. Mercury being lord of the 3rd and 6th, he becomes a strong maraka. 3. Saturn being lord of the badhakasthana (11th house), he may also be a maraka. 4. Since Jupiter owns the 12th house, if he is placed in the 10th house he will kill. If in the 10th he is with Venus both husband and wife may die. 5. Since Mars owns the 8th house also, if he conjoins Venus, the native may die by injury on the head. 6. If Mars joins Mercury, death may be due to diseases of the head. 7. Saturn, Mercury, Venus conjunction may bring about death in their dasas. 31

As a conclusion, we may say that Mercury or Saturn may be a maraka. But a decision is to be taken based on the strength of these planets.

2.9. General maraka rules: 1. For movable Lagna lord of the 2nd and 7th are maraka. Lord of 3rd and 7th are the marakas for Fixed Lagna natives. For Dual Lagna, the marakas are the lords of 7 th and 11th houses. 2. Planet/s placed in the maraka places are stronger than the lords of the maraka places in inflicting death. 3. Planets conjoined with lords of the maraka houses are stronger than the lords of the maraka places in inflicting death. 4. Even if a benefic has conjoined a maraka lord, he may bring about death. 5. The 3rd and 8th houses are also the maraka houses. Hence lords of these places are also capable of bringing the death. If they combine with other maraka lords, they are empowered to become death inflicting planets. 6. The planet that has the least strength in the horoscope may also become a maraka. 7. If the Ayush karaka Saturn (Karaka for longevity) becomes a maraka lord or if he conjoins or associates with another maraka planet, he will keep aside all the planets and himself will inflict death. These are all common to all Lagna.

2.10. Combinations for Yogas: The following combinations will give a yoga for Aries Lagna natives: 1. If Sun and Moon conjoins it gives Rajayoga. 2. Sun is exalted in Lagna and is aspected by Jupiter.

32

3. Sun and Venus are conjoined in Lagna and aspected by Jupiter. 4. Sun is placed in his exaltation sign of Aries (i.e. Lagna) and Moon is placed in his own sign of Caner. 5. Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars – all the four are exalted. Along with Sun, if two out of the other three are exalted then also it will give a yoga. This is found in Brihat Jataka also and is applicable to Cancer, Libra and Capricorn Lagna also. 6. Sun in the 5th in own house, Jupiter in the 9th in own house, Mars in the 10th in exaltation – Rajayoga will result. 7. Rajayoga results if Sun, Mars and Jupiter all are placed in Lagna Kendra. (1 st, 5th, 9th lords-trikona lords going to Lagna Kendra). 8. Sun in the 5th in own house, Moon in the 4th in own house and Jupiter exalted will produce Rajayoga. 9. Sun in Lagna in exaltation, Jupiter and Moon in the 9th house and Saturn in the 10th house gives Rajayoga. 10. Mars placed in the 5th house. 11. Exalted Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn produce Rajayoga. 12. Sun exalted in Aries, Moon in own house in Cancer, Mars exalted in Capricorn or placed in own house in Aries or placed in the 5th house. 13. A general rules states that if Moon is placed in the 1 st, 6th, 9th or 12th house from the Sun, good yoga will result. 14. Mars, Jupiter, Venus conjoined in Taurus there will be a yoga. If this combination is in the 3rd house, Gemini, there will be no yoga. 15. Mars is debilitated in Cancer and Jupiter is exalted there, Mars dasa will yield beneficial results. 16. If Mars and Venus are placed in the 7th house, the native will have proceeds from his own capacity or will. 33

17. If in the 11th house Sun, Mercury and Venus are conjoined, their dasas will also be beneficial. 18. If Venus is placed along with Moon in Cancer, there will be yoga. 19. Rahu must be placed in Lagna, 2nd, 4th, 6th or the 10th houses and in kendra to Rahu (i.e. in the 4th or the 7th or the 10th to Rahu). 20. Venus in Lagna, Jupiter in the 7th the native will get yoga through wife. 21. Venus in the 7th or 12th, Moon in the 2nd in exaltation. (Here exalted planets in both sides of Lagna produces the yoga). 22. Kendra houses should not be vacant. If the 1st house lord Mars, 4th house lord Moon, 7th house lord Venus and the 10th house lord Saturn – all these planets must be placed in their own houses or there must be exchange amongst them will produce a Rajayoga. 23.

3.4. Bhava Lords results 3.4.1 Venus Venus is the Lagna lord and also owns the 6th house. The 6th house Libra is the Moolatrikona place for Venus and is to be considered as a benefic. Some authorities think that being a Lagna lord he will be a benefic. But in spite of his lordship over Lagna, he is to be considered as a malefic only. If he is in strength, the results of the 6th house will flourish but finance will get spoiled. It is better if he joins Moon or Sun or Mercury. Normally during the dasa of Venus only mixed results are expected. It is better if he is weak rather than gaining strength. Lower abdomen, hidden places will be affected by Venus. Women may get trouble in the uterus.

3.4.2 Mercury Mercury owns the 2nd and 5th house from Taurus Lagna. Since the 5th house is the Moolatrikona sign of Mercury, he becomes a benefic. Be it mathematics or any other field of education, the native will come out with flying colours. Will plan judiciously and execute the things. Will become an author.

Generally the 1 st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th and 11th are the favourable places for mercury for this Lagna.

3.4.3. Moon Owner of the Bhratru Bhava (House of siblings), the Moon even if he is exalted in Taurus, becomes a malefic on account of the reason that the 3rd house is a maraka place for fixed Lagna. Still since the 3rd house is an Upachaya house and the house indicating 36

courage, sibling etc. it is better if he is placed with strength. A strong Moon will give good courage as well as siblings. Cancer (the 3rd house) being a female rasi and Moon also being a female planet the natives sisters will be well disposed towards the natives of Taurus Lagna. Good placement where Moon will do good are – the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 10th and 11th.

3.4.4. Sun A natural malefic on account of his ownership of the 4th Kendra becomes a benefic for Taurus Lagna. If he is with strength, general family comforts, happiness, house, vehicle etc are the expected results. If Sun is with strength and is placed in Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo or Aquarius, the native may get a superior house and vehicle. Contrarily, if Sun gets afflicted fear in the mind, confusion disease, dissatisfaction with the superiors are some of the bad results that may be experienced. When Sun is with strength, the native will get the affection and love from mother and himself will also be like that. Mother will be long lived. The native of this Lagna will have basic education. If Sun is having strength, graduation is assured. Whichever field they are working, they will work hard and will try to get higher positions. They will have the necessary intelligence for the same. It will be good if Sun is placed in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses.

3.4.5. Mars Mars owns the 7th house of spouse and the 12th house of loss. He is a friend of Lagna lord Venus. Spouse will be either well educated or will be a wealthy person. Even if the husband is of a lower status than her, she will adjust herself and will run the family peacefully and harmoniously. But she will be subjected to angry and stupidity. If Mars is afflicted married life will not be good. Quarrels and misunderstandings will be the results often. Loss of money will always be there. There will be no peace in the family. If Mars is in strength there will be increased business, advancement in industrial works, foreign job are likely to materialize. The 12th lordship will not harm because of the reason that a Kendra Lord if afflicted will yield only benefic results.

3.4.6. Jupiter Jupiter owns the 8th and 11th houses. Even though the 8th house is a Moolatrikona house, but it being a maraka house, Jupiter becomes a malefic. Jupiter being the karaka for finance (Dhana karaka) and also owning the 11th house of gains, will promote the 37

finance of the native if placed in any of the houses – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th or the 11th. 8th house is the labhasthana (House of gains) for the 10th house, if Jupiter is conjunct with 10th lord or is associated with the 10th house, the native is likely to be the head of a department or an organization. Will have long life. If placed in the 8th house which is the own house of Jupiter, Sarala Yoga results. If he joins mercury or has Parivarthana (exchange) or have mutual aspect it is a Dhana yoga. If Sun and the 9th lord are conjoined with Jupiter and is placed in the 11th house there will be long life. Fortune will come only in the later part of life, that is only after 40 years.

3.4.7. Saturn Owner of 9th and 10th houses. When a planet gets the ownership of a Kendra and Trikona, he becomes a strong Yogakaraka. But for Taurus Lagna Saturn is like that but this will not hold good. Because the 9th house is the badhakasthana he also becomes a Badhaka lord. If he is placed in the 10th it is good. 9th house placement is not good. If he is placed in the 9th to the 9th house, i.e. in the 5th house, the Badhaka blemish will vanish and Saturn will become a benefic. Saturn beneficially placed will give economic advancement, good placement, attainment of higher posts, assistance of the Government or authorities, betterment for father. Due to the ownership of the 9 th as well as the 10th houses, there will be benefits either way to father and self. If Saturn is exalted in the 6th house it is a Rajayoga. If placed in the 4th house, 10th house matters will get strengthened. Whatever has been stated for the karakatwa of Saturn in Aries Lagna will also hold good for this Lagna. Generally, natives of Taurus are patient persons. Whichever field they are in, due to their hard work, capability and indulgence, they will come up and will attain a higher status and position. They will not be afraid to work harder and harder.

If it is in the 9 th house advancement in business and benefits through father and such good results will ensue. If he is exalted in the 5th house good results will follow.

4.5. Benefic-Malefic explanations 4.5.1. Benefics Since Mercury is the Lagna Lord and Venus lord of the 5th trikona these are the two benefic planets. 4.5.2 Yogakarakas Many scriptures state that 5th lord Venus is the only yogakaraka. But in Thandavamalai, it is stated that the 9th lord even if he gets any other lordship or conjoins any other malefic he will not give malefic results. Hence Saturn and Venus are capable of giving Yoga.

4.5.3. Malefics 48

Sun because of the ownership of the 3rd house, Mars due to ownership of the 6th and 11th house and Jupiter due to ownership of the 7th house are malefics. Mars is a full malefic. Since Jupiter got the ownership of the 10th house, he is half benefic and half malefic. Mars and Sun are malefics. 4.5.4. Maraka Lords ெீதுெைி மகால்லான் ெீண்டு மசவ்வாயாைித்ைன் வாதுகுரு மூவர்களும் ொரகொய் – மசைெறக் மகால்லுவர் ஊன்மற குலவு கடல் சூழலாகி மளல்லவருஞ் மசாற்வாாி தசந்து This is a verse (N0. 53) from Chandra Kaviyam meaning that Moon will not kill. The rest three planets namely Mars, Jupiter and Sun are capable of inflicting death. As per the general rule lords of the 2nd and 7th house are marakas and as per this rule Moon and Jupiter are the marakas. For a common sign the lords of the 7 th and 11th house are special marakas and hence Jupiter and Mars become special marakas. Since Sun owns the 8th to the 8th house viz. the 3rd house, he also becomes a maraka. Out of these many authors have stated that Moon will not kill. Since Sun is a friend of Lagna lord mercury, he will also not kill. Since Jupiter becomes a maraka as per the general as well as the special maraka rule and also the lord of the 11th house Mars will be inflicting death.

54

5.5. Planetary Lordship results 5.5.1. Moon Being a Lagna lord is a benefic. He is karaka for bodily comforts, fame, and livelihood through self earnings, finance, and intelligence. Moon is also karaka for mother. Hence she should be strong. Due to a strong Moon, results of Lagna will be good and higher. Good name amongst people, good business, sharp intellect are some of the good results that will be coming. If she is spoiled health will suffer. Diseases related to blood or chest will trouble the native. Disrepute and opposition will come. Ascending Moon or Shukla Paksha Moon is considered as benefic. Being a benefic it is better if he is hidden is the view of some others. If he is exalted in the 11th house it is good.

5.5.2. Sun 56

Lord of the 2nd house of family. For a movable sign, 2nd house is a maraka place and hence Sun is considered as a maraka planet. But he will not kill is the considered opinion of all. Family, speech, finance, education, right eye are some of the karakatwas of Sun. Hence he should be with strength. If he is placed in own house in the 2nd, ability of speech, high education, financial benefits, good family, fame will be forthcoming. If he is exalted in the 10th, advancement in Government posts will be coming. Generally if he gets strength, the results of the 2nd house will be good. Authority, position and fame will be there. In he is spoiled, economic crisis, downfall in profession or business or politics will result. Troubles in the family, separation from the family will all follow. Being a friend of the Lagna lord it is good if he is placed in 1st, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 10th or 11th houses.

5.5.3. Mercury Being the lord of the 3rd and 12th house he becomes a malefic. 3rd house is the Moolatrikona sign. 3rd house indicates courage, success, younger siblings, army, friends, servants, and prowess. Hence if he is placed in the 3rd house which is his own house the above stated results will be good. Again being a malefic if he is spoiled good finance will be there. House, courage will flourish. If he is placed in the 5th, 7th, 9th or the 10th house, education and writing capability will increase. If he is placed in the11th house, bad effects of the 12th house will diminish. If he is with strength, brathru bhava results will be good. But the native will not get any benefit from them.

5.5.4. Venus Venus owns the 4th and the 11th houses. 11th house is a badhakasthana and 4th house is a Kendra place and hence becomes a malefic. Both the houses indicate important things. Generally speaking being a malefic it is better if gets spoiled. If he is spoiled badhakathipathya will be spoiled and health will be good. But finance will get spoiled. If he is with strength health will suffer. But finance will be good. Normally in general for any Lagna, if the Badhaka lord goes to a Trikona, the blemish of the Badhaka place will leave and will result in a yoga is the opinion of Pulippani Sithar. If he is placed in the 5 th and 9th it is good. Finance will be good. If he is placed in the 2nd or the 12th or along with mercury in the 12th or with the Sun in the 5th will give yoga. According to my experience, for the Cancer Lagna people mother’s comforts will not be there. In the dasa of Venus and Saturn Antardasa or in Saturn dasa, Venus Antardasa, there will be health problems.

5.5.5. Mars 57

Being the lord of the 5th trikona and the 10th Kendra, Mars becomes a complete Rajayoga planet. He should be with strength. If he is placed in the own house of 5 th, getting progeny, support from children, writing ability, research in Shastras, oratory will be forthcoming. If he is placed in the exaltation house of 10th, graciousness of Goddess Mahalakshmi, higher posts, admiration by people, fame amongst kinsmen and similar such Rajayoga results will be there. May be working in army or police. When he is exalted and Moon is either in own house or in exaltation or to his 7th (Moon) in Scorpio Mars is placed will produce a dhana yoga. Even if he is debilitated in Cancer, being the 4th from the 10th house and 5th from the 9th house, good results will be there. If exalted Jupiter joins such Mars, great Rajayoga results will come. Even if the other planets are spoiled, if Mars alone is with strength it is enough, there will be very good results after the age of 40. Wherever Mars is placed, there will be no Mars Dosha for this Lagna. Army, Police, Government office, Post and telegraph, Electricity department, Housing development, Public works department, Industry, Engineering are some of the fields where native of this Lagna may be serving. Doctor, Engineer, Village administrative officer, Collector may also be got. 5.5.6. Jupiter Owner of the 6th and 9th house Jupiter become a benefic. 6th house is the Moolatrikona house for Jupiter and 9th house is a strong trikona house, only the benefic results will be pronounced. If he is with strength it is good. If he is in the 2nd house, native will be a good speaker. If he gets spoiled, normally troubles will be there. Only when he joins Mars, he will give Rajayoga. As the ownership indicates both father and enemy, after the death of the father, native will go higher and higher in life. A strong Jupiter will increase the results of the 9th house. 5.5.7. Saturn Saturn becomes a malefic due to the ownership of the 7th and 8th house. Karaka for longevity, he himself becomes karaka for the house of death also. At the same time, for a movable Lagna, 7th house is a special maraka place, he becomes a strong maraka. Opposed karakatwa is there. If he is in the 7th he will aspect the Lagna. If he is in the 8th, house of death and his own house and so he will not kill. If in the 7 th, devotion to husband, respect to elders, pious wife will be the results. If placed in other places, family life will always be in trouble. If he is in own house in the 8th, long life, economic advancement, abundance in life will be the good results. If he is placed in the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th or 11th it is good. 58

5.6. Malefic-Benefic explanation கர்க்கடக லக்னத்ைிற் காணச் சனித்ைவர்க்குச் மசாற்புைனும் சுக்கிரனுஞ் மசால் பாவி – நற்குருவுஞ் மகால்மசமய நல்லவர்கள் மசய் க்ருவும் கூடியிடில் நற்மயாகந் ைந்ைிடுவார் நாடு (பாடல் -54) This is the verse from Chandra Kaviyam. Meaning that for those born under Cancer Lagan Mercury and Venus are malefics. Jupiter and Mars are benefics. If Jupiter and Mars conjoin good yoga results. Benefics – Lagna Lord Moon, the 5th and the 10th lord Mars. Jupiter is half benefic and half malefic. Malefics – Owner of the 3rd and 12th house Mercury, 4th and 11th lord Venus. Jupiter is half malefic. Saturn because of ownership of maraka place as well as lordship of the 8 th house is a malefic.

5.7. Yogakarakas Mars and Jupiter are the two yoga giving planets. Majority of the authors have stated that Venus is a malefic. But Kalidasa in his Jataka Chandrika states that Venus alone gives yoga. In Bavartha Ratnakara it is stated that if Venus is in the 2 nd or the 12th house, there will be yoga. He also says that Mercury will also give yoga results.

5.8. Maraka Lord நாடிரவிமகால்லான் கவிொன் ொரகராய்க் கூடிநின்று மகான்றிடுவார் மகாபெைாய் – நீடுெவர் ைன்றிதசயிலும் புத்ைிைன்னிலுந் ைாந்ைப்பாது மபான்தனயு ொமை புகல் (பாடல்-55) Meaning that for those born under Cancer Lagna, Sun will not kill. Lord of Virgo Mercury when he is joined with Venus will kill. In their dasa or Antardasa death will happen. Sun is the lord of the 2nd house and hence he becomes a maraka. But being lord of a single house and also a friend of Lagna lord Moon, he will not kill. Saturn being lord of 59

the 7th house which is the special maraka house for movable Lagna becomes a maraka. But Saturn is also lord of longevity and hence will not kill. Hence Badhaka lord Venus and the 3rd lord Venus are the only marakas. Being an enemy to Lagna lord Moon and giving the natural results of Saturn, Rahu also becomes a maraka. 5.9.

64

6.1. General Points Fifth in the zodiac, Leo represents the stomach of Kalapurusha. This is Agni or Fire tatwa or element. Rises in the head and hence Sirshodaya Rasi. This is an Odd, fixed and male Rasi. The Nakshatras included in this rasi are Makha, Purvaphalguni and Uttaraphalguni 1st pada. Lord of this Rasi is Sun. Out of the nine planets Sun is considered as the King and Moon is treated as Queen. The house of Raja is a palace-is it not? Hence this sign is called as King’s rasi. As nobody can be above the King in a country, this Rasi does not allow anybody to be exalted or debilitated in it. Hence nobody can have any claim over it. A Kingly planet maintains its status and remains as a status of the King. This indicates the heart of the Kalapurusha. Some say that Cancer indicates the heart. And Leo indicates the portion between stomach and navel. This sign indicates a mountain without water, forests etc. Short statured rasi. Up to 20 degrees in this Rasi Sun’s Moolatrikona and the remaining 10 degrees is treated as his Own rasi. Moon and Mars are friends of Sun. Jupiter and Mercury are equal. Rest are enemy planets. Hence houses of friendly planets which are Aries, Scorpio and Cancer are friendly rasis to Sun. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are equal rasis. The rest are enemy rasis. Majority have accepted this view.

6.2. General Results Kingly traits like majestic status, Kingly skills, courage, boldness, bravery and strength, character, truthfulness will prevail for those born under this Lagna. They will not be disturbed by praise or scorn. Everything will be forgiven and they will easily forget them too. Capable of talking cleverly and competently. Devotion to God, attachment to Vedas and Shastras and interest in following the rituals are also their qualities.

65

They will have a slightly stout body, a proper height in tune with the body, fat neck, round face, rounded arms, broad chest and sharp eyesight are some of the bodily traits of these people. They have an acute understanding. Courageous minded persons. Will understand everything from the place they live in. Love, good character, respect, righteous mind, pious, showing concern over others well being, sacrificial mind are also their qualities. Will bow their head for Justice, truth, straightforwardness, law. Having lofty ideals they will easily understand everything. Will move with all pleasingly. Having the qualities of dexterity of a King, nobody can easily deceit them. Even though a slightly angry person, will forget it easily. Will behave according to his conscience. A truthful person. Will have a forgiving mentality. Will get the influence of V.I.Ps with their intelligence and their speech. They will act independently.

6.3. Nakshatra Results Makha – They will rule the world. If a girl is born in this nakshatra it will be a rare birth. Persons born under this nakshatra will be doing research on Shastras. Benevolence, righteousness, mildness, meekness and pure good characters will be their qualities. Speech will be attractive. Purvaphalguni – Will follow rituals correctly, courageous, famed person, person following justice, straightforwardness, morality. Uttaraphalguni-1st pada – Will keep good relationship with friends and relations, will talk sweetly and a person who will forget not a benefit.

6.4. Planetary Lordship results 6.4.1. Sun Being a Lagna lord is capable of giving yoga. Health will be good. Good name and fame will be there. Will have administrative capability. Finance will be plenty. He can be with strength but should not be spoiled or weak. If he is spoiled, finance and health will suffer. Unnecessary blame and reputation will be the result.

66

If Sun is placed in own house or exalted it is a good position. He can be placed in the 6 , 10th or the 11th. Generally placement of Sun in the 5th is not good but being a Lagna lord it can be considered as good. th

6.4.2. Mercury Owner of the 2nd and 11th house Mercury is considered as a malefic for Leo Lagna. Family, finance and gains are basic things required for running the life. Having got the two most important karakatwas, the reason for branding Mercury as malefic is his maraka powers. If he is in strength, financial gains, profits in business are likely. A strong Mercury will give worries about health but will be favourable for finance, education, family, speech, gains, profits etc. One surprising thing here is that if Mercury is hidden or spoiled, health and education will not get spoiled because hidden mercury is full of knowledge. But the other good results will be reduced. Mercury is a friend of Sun.

6.4.3. Saturn Getting the ownership of the 6th and 7th house, Saturn is said to be a malefic. Since 6th house is a bad house. At the same time the 7th house indicates spouse, business and friendship. The 7th house is his Moolatrikona place. Because of this he becomes a planet of equality. Hence during his period diseases, debts and losses may be expected. If he is in the 6th house it is called Sarala Yoga. In the 7th house he gets dig bala. If he in the 10th house Rajayoga will result. Even though an enemy of Sun, he will not crate trouble as far as spouse is concerned. Possibility of working in the fields of Cinema, politics, drama, dance, music, shipping, Railways, Bus transport, Airlines, glass industry, Government office, import-export etc. In the field of business it may be dealing in ornamental and artistic things, spices, aromatics, silver, lead, intoxicants etc.

6.4.4. Mars Mars owns the 4th and the 9th house. Since lordship of a Kendra and Kona is there, he becomes a yogakaraka. Comforts, maternal comforts, dexterity, house, vehicles will be controlled on account of the lordship of the 4th house and father, fortunes of father, fortune, luck, devotion and charity will be governed by Mars on account of its ownership of the 9th house. All the above indications will be good if mars is in strength. If he is placed in 3rd, 4th, 6th, 9th or 10th house is considered as special. Joining with Venus and placement in beneficial bhavas will create Dharma Karmadhipathy yoga. If with these two, if Jupiter also joins it will be one of the best yogas. 67

6.4.5. Jupiter Jupiter owns the 5th and 8th house and is considered as a malefic. Since the 5th house is the Moolatrikona place and also because he is a friend of Lagna Lord Sun, there are benefits through him. If he is connected with the 5th house, there will be good progeny. Economic prosperity will be there. Passing the departmental examinations and getting promotions are likely. If he is spoiled above stated results will be affected.

6.4.6. Venus Owner of the 3rd and the 10th house. It is good if he is with strength. If placed in the 3rd house it will give good results.

6.4.7. Moon Even though a friend of the Lagna lord Moon is not getting good lordship as he becomes the owner of the 12th house of losses. If he is in the 11th it will be good. Generally for any Lagna if the 12th lord is placed in the 11th, the malefic results will be turned into benefic ones. Hence 11th house Moon will give a better economy. It is better if Moon is far away from the Sun-the farther the better. Combined with Saturn or Jupiter if he is in the 6th or the 8th or the 12th Moon will give benefic results.

6.4.8 Benefic-malefic explanation மசர்ந்ை சிம்ெ லக்கினத்தைச் மசரச் மசனித்ைவரும் மகந்து சனி சுக்கிரனுமெ பாவி – மபாந்ை மசவ்வா மயறு ெிரலிறல்லனின் புகர்மசர் கூடியிடில் வீறிய மயாகங்களுண்டாம் மவறு. (பாடல்-56)

Meaning: For those born under Leo Lagna Saturn and Venus are malefics. Sun and Mars are benefics. If Mars and Venus conjoin there will be yoga. Sun being the Lagna lord and Mars getting the ownership of a Kendra and trikona becomes benefic planets for Leo Lagna. If they are in strength good results will come. Fifth lord Jupiter will also give benefic results. 68

6.4.9. Yogakarakas Mars – As stated earlier due to ownership of a Kendra and trikona he is the only yoga karaka for Leo Lagna. But the 9th house is also a Badhaka place for this fixed rasi. If the 10th lord Venus joins Mars, Dharma Karmadhipati yoga results. Venus – Being owner of the 3rd and 10th house, the 3rd house being a maraka place, losing the karakatwas of 10th house, capable of bringing death. If conjoins with Mars, yoga will result. Jupiter – On account of ownership of the 5th house is a benefic but the ownership of the 8th makes it also a malefic. But since the 5th house is a Moolatrikona place and with a good conjunction will give beneficial results.

Malefics – Mercury, Venus and Saturn are malefics. Mercury owns the 2nd and 11th house which are considered as good places but since the 2nd house is a maraka place he becomes malefic. For Venus Kendradipatya Dosha and maraka Dosha on account of ownership of the 3rd house which is a maraka place for fixed lagna, he becomes a malefic. Saturn becomes a malefic due to ownership of the 6th and 7th.

6.5. Maraka Lords மவறுபுைன் மகால்லான் விதனபுகர்தெ மகான்றிடுவர் கூறெற்றப் மபர்கள்ைான் மகால்வார் – மணறிப் பகுத்ைறிந்து பார்த்துப் பைராெல் யார்க்கும் வகுத்ைறிவு பின்மன ெைித்து. (பாடல்-57)

Meaning: Mercury will not kill those born under Leo lagna. Saturn and Venus are the only two marakas. Since other planets do not get maraka powers they will not kill. Mars on account of Badhaka place lord may kill but will do so only if conjoined with another maraka. Saturn due to ownership of the 6th and 7th is likely to inflict death. Venus getting the ownership of the 3rd house of maraka may end the life. Mercury being the owner of the 2nd house of maraka will also kill. Jupiter being the owner of the 8th house which is a special maraka place for fixed rasi can also become a maraka. 69

Majority are of the opinion that Saturn, Mercury, Venus are the marakas.

7.5.1. Benefics: Mercury being lord of 1st and 10th house and also being a Lagna Lord becomes a benefic. Due to ownership of the 9th house Venus also is a benefic. Saturn being the 5th lord is also a benefic. Therefore Mercury, Venus and Saturn are the three benefics.

7.5.2. Yoga Planets: Mercury, Venus, Saturn are Yoga lords. If Venus and Mercury conjoins Dharma karmadhipathy yoga will result. If Saturn also conjoins with them the Dharma Karmadhipati yoga will get strengthened. If Venus is placed alone he cannot produce a Raja Yoga is known as per experience.

7.5.3. Malefics: Mars, Jupiter and Moon are malefics. Due to ownership of the 7th house being a maraka place Jupiter becomes a malefic. For dual Lagna lord of the 11 th house is a maraka and hence Venus getting the ownership of the 11th house becomes a malefic. Since Mars owns the two malefic houses 3rd and 8th, he is the next malefic.

7.5.4. Maraka மசப்புபுகர் புந்ைிமகால்லான் மசர்ந்ை மசவ்வாய் சந்ைிரனு மொப்பு குருமவா டுடன்மூவர் – ைப்பாெற் மகால்லுவர்கள் கண்டாய்குலவு ெிைன் குறிப்தப மயால்தலயினிற் மசால்வாய் உகந்து. (பாடல்-59)

78

Meaning: For those born in Virgo Lagna Venus and Mercury will not kill. Moon, Jupiter and Mars are the maraka planets Mars, Jupiter, Moon and Venus are the 4 planets capable of brining death. Though Chandra Kaviyam says Venus will not kill due to ownership of the 9th house, but being the lord of 2nd house, a maraka house, in experience it is seen that Venus is also capable of inflicting death. Also Jataka Alankaram endorses this view. Mars is the first maraka due to ownership of the 3rd and 8th house and also an enemy of Lagna Lord Mercury. Jupiter in addition to the Kendradipatya Dosha also gets Marakadipatya Dosha and hence he also will be a maraka. Moon being the lord of the 11th house of maraka, he is also a maraka. Generally depending on the ownership of the planets Mars, Jupiter and Moon are the primary marakas. The dasa of the planet which comes first out of the above three and if he is with strength, death will surely happen.

துதலயிற் பிறந்ைார்க்குச் சூாியன் மசய் மபான்றுஞ் மசாலும்பாவி புந்ைிசனிசுங்கன் – நிதலசுபர்கள் புந்ைிெைியுங் கூடிற்மபரரசுகள் மயாகமுண்டாம் வந்ை மசவ்வாய் மகால்லான் வதளந்து. (பாடல் – 60)

Meaning: For those born in Libra Lagna, Sun, Mars and Jupiter are malefics. Mercury, Saturn and Venus are the fixed benefics. When Mercury and Moon conjoins there will be Rajayoga. Mars will not kill.

8.5.1. Benefics Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are the four benefics.

Meaning: Jupiter and son strong marakas. They will definitely kill. Please understand this well. (Not relevant portion have been removed). For a movable Lagna the 2nd and 7th lords are the maraka planets. But Mars is the owner of these two houses. If both the maraka places are owned by a single planet, there is a rule that that planet will not kill. This is the opinion of the author of Chandra 87

Kaviyam also. Jupiter and Sun alone will kill. This has been accepted by the author of Thandavamalai also. Jataka Alankaram says that only Mars will kill. Bhavartha Ratnakara says that if Venus is placed in Lagna he will kill. The author of deiva Sigamani says that if Jupiter and Sun are placed in the 6th, 8th or the 12th houses from Lagna or in the 3rd, 6th, 8th or the 12th house from Moon or in the 2nd or the 7th house they are capable of bringing death in their dasa-antardasa. In some other texts it is stated that Ketu who behaves like Mars is also capable of killing. To sum up Jupiter and Sun are the first rate marakas. Mars and Ketu come in the second line.

9.4. Bhava Lords 9.4.1. Mars Owner of Lagna as well as the 6th house. Even though Lagna is an auspicious house, the lordship of the 6th house indicating diseases, enemies and debt being a Moolatrikona house, the bad ownership gets strengthened. Hence Mars is considered as a malefic. But being a natural benefic and because of the ownership of Lagna he is considered as a benefic. For the people of this Lagna there will be sufferings on account of sickness or disease and there will always be some opposition. But the native will cross those burdens and will become successful in life. If he is placed in the 6th house it will not do good. But the author of Chandra Kaviyam says that is Mars getting the ownership of the kendra houses of 1st, 4th, 7th or the 10th and if placed in the 6th house he will be a full benefic. He will give only beneficial results. Hence it is better if Mars gains strength.

9.4.2. Jupiter Owner of the 2nd house and the 5th house, Jupiter being a friend of the Lagna Lord Mars is a full benefic. If he is with strength God’s grace will be there. Progeny will be good. Fortunes and financial gains will be there for himself as well as for his father. If he is spoiled, there will be blemish for the children, losses on account of children, losses on account of speculation are some of the bad results that may come. Hence Jupiter must be strong. 94

9.4.3. Saturn Owner of the 3rd and 4th house, though gets the ownership of a maraka place will not be considered as a malefic as for Fixed Rasi the 8th lord is the maraka. He is considered to be a benefic only. If he is placed in his own house in the 3rd there might be some small distress or disease. If he is with strength, siblings, education, house, vehicles will all increase. Generally for the people of this Lagna if Saturn Dasa should not come as the 1st or the 4th dasa, but if it comes as the 2nd, 3rd or 5th dasa it will be good.

9.4.4. Venus Owner of the 7th and 12th house. Because of ownership of the Kendra-viz. 7th house he gets Kendradipatya Dosha. Generally, it is said that the native will have a high sexual feelings if Venus is in strength. There will be some diseases or other either for the native or for his spouse. Income will come without much effort. But due to the ownership of the house of loss, at the end of the dasa whatever was given will be taken back. Generally it is stated that if he goes into hiding it will be good. If he is spoiled, seventh house matters will also get spoiled.

9.4.5. Mercury Being the owner of two bad houses, the 8th and the 11th and also because of enmity with the Lagna Lord Mars, Mercury becomes a full malefic. However, since the ownership of the 11th house of gains is there, there will be gains. Hence if Mercury is strongly placed income will be good. At the same time health and advancement in life will not be good. If Mercury is spoiled health will not suffer but income will get spoiled. There is likely to be loss also.

9.4.6. Moon Being the owner of the 9th house which is a Badhaka place for the fixed rasi, he becomes a malefic. Being a friend of the Lagna lord and also because of the ownership of the strong trikona the 9th house, if Moon is placed in any trikona, the Dosha on account of the Badhaka place will be removed and will have luck, improvement in life, professional advancement, finance. She should be strong. If she is week, troubles to father, separation from father, financial loss, sufferings in life will be the bad results that will come. 95

9.4.7. Sun Getting the ownership of the 10th house of karma, he becomes a yogakaraka. It is better if he is placed with strength. If he is placed in his own house in the 10th, it will be a Raja Yoga. Native may become a high Government official. If Moon and Jupiter conjoins Sun, it is a strong dharma Karmadhipati yoga. Good and famous contracts, big business, administrative capabilities will be there due to a strong Sun. If he exchanges house with Moon or conjoins Mercury and placed in the 7th or the 10th house it will be a good yoga. Naïve may get employment in Government office, C.I.D., Police, embassy, industries, banks, commerce. Professional jobs like Doctor, Engineer, advocate, auditor is also likely. In the field of trade dealings in wheat, paddy, rice, medicine, gold, silver or precious stones are likely.

9.5. Benefic-Malefic explanation மைளிற் பிறந்ைார்க்குச் மசய்புகர்ொன்தெபாவி நாளுெைி மபான்னிரவிநண்பரா-நீளிரவி சந்ைிரனும் கூடியிடிற் றாரசர் மயாகமுண்டாம் மசாந்ைகுரு காாிமகால்லான் மசால் (பாடல்-62)

Meaning: For those born in Scorpio Lagna, Mars, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are malefics. Jupiter, Moon and Sun are benefics. If there is conjunction of Sun and Moon there will be Rajayoga. Jupiter and Saturn will not kill.

9.5.1. Benefics Generally all authors treat Moon as the only benefic for Scorpio Lagna natives. Because of the ownership of the strong trikona, the 9th house. Generally Sun and Moon are considered as benefics.

9.5.2. Malefics Mars, Mercury and Venus are the worst malefics. So says author of Thandavamalai. This has been accepted by others also. 96

Mars is owner of Lagna and the 6th house. Since 6th house of Mars being a Moolatrikona house gets strength. Hence in spite of his being the Lagna Lord he is considered as malefic. Due to the ownership of the 8th and 11th house, Mercury becomes a malefic. Venus becomes a malefic due to the ownership of 7th and 12th house. 9.5.3. Maraka Lord மசால்புைனுஞ் மசவ்வாயுஞ் சுக்கிரனும் ொரகொய் வல்லிரவிற் மகான்றிடுவர் வஞ்சகொய்-நல்ெயிாில் யிற்றவர லாறு ெிைனிதலயு மெநிதனந்து புந்ைியனுட் மகாள்வாய் புகழ்ந்து (பாடல்-63)

Meaning: Mercury and Mars are the maraka planets. They may kill at mid night with treachery. Examine this fact and then tell the truth. Generally Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Venus are considered as the maraka planets. Jupiter on account of the ownership of the 2nd house, Venus due to 7th lordship, Mercury because of lord of 8th house and Mars due to ownership of the 6th house become marakas. Since Jupiter gets the ownership of the 5th house, he will not kill is the opinion of all others except author of Jataka alanakra. Jupiter will give both yoga as well as maraka is the opinion of Jataka Alankara. Mars being the Lagna Lord will not kill is also opinion of some. But majority are of the opinion that Mars is also capable of inflicting death.

10.4.5. Mercury Owner of the 7th house of spouse and the 10th house of livelihood. Hence Kendradipatya Dosha comes. Also the 7th house is a Badhaka place and a maraka place.

10.5. Benefic-Malefic explanation ைனுசிற் பிறந்ைவர்க்கு ைண்புகர் மபான்பாவி சனி மசவ்வாய் சூாியன்றா நல்லவர்-சனிெைியுங் மகால்லான் புகர்புைனுங் மகால்லுவார்கள் சூாியனும் மொல்தலயினிற் கூடிலுண்டாம் மயாகம் (பாடல்-64)

Meaning: For those born in Sagittarius Lagna Venus and Jupiter are malefics. Saturn, Mars and Sun are benefics. Saturn and Moon will not kill. Only Venus and Mercury will kill. If Sun and Mercury conjoin it will give Rajayoga.

10.5.1. Benefics Majority authors are of the opinion that Sun and Mercury are benefics. The 5 th lord Mars is also considered as a benefic. But the author of Chandra Kaviyam states that Saturn, Sun, Mars are the three benefics.

10.5.2. Yogakarakas The 9th lord Sun, the 10th lord Mercury and the 5th lord Mars are the yogakarakas. If Sun conjoins either Mars or Mercury there will be yoga. If all the three are conjoined it 105

will give rise to a strong Dharma Karmadhipathy Yoga. Hence Sun and Mercury are full yogakarakas and Mars is a half yogakaraka.

10.5.3. Malefics Since Venus owns the two bad houses of the 6th and the 11th, he alone is a malefic. But the author of Chandra Kaviyam states that Jupiter and Venus are malefics. That is because of the Kendradhipatya Dosha of Jupiter.

10.5.4. Marakas Generally the lords of the 2nd and 7th houses are marakas. But for a dual Lagna the 7th and the 11th house lords are special marakas. As per this, the 2nd lord Saturn, 7th lord Mercury and the 11th lord Venus are all marakas. This has been accepted by a majority authors. Saturn being a friend of Jupiter will not kill unless he is exalted in the 11th house. Only Mercury and Venus will kill. Jataka Alankara author says that only Saturn will kill. But others have not accepted this. Hence Mercury and Venus are the strong marakas.

Finance and gains are important. If Mars is with strength, finance will be good. Mother, comforts, house and vehicle will be available. But health will be spoiled.

If he is placed in the own house of 8th native may study engineering and to get higher technical knowledge may go to a foreign country.

11.5. Benefic-Malefic explanation தூய் ெகரலக்னந்ைான் மைான்றிப் பிறந்ைவருக் மகய் விளங்குஞ் சந்ைிரனுமெ குருவுடந் - ைீய்பரவி மவள்ளி மசவ்வாய் நல்லான் விளங்கி ரவி காாி மகால்லான் விள்ளெைியுங் குருவும் மெல் (பாடல் – 65)

Meaning: For those born in Capricorn Lagna Moon and Jupiter are the worst malefics. Venus and Mars will give yoga. The hot Sun and Saturn will not kill. Moon and Jupiter alone will kill. மெவிவரும் மகால்லார் மவள்ளிபுைன் கூடியிடிற் மகால்மயாக மெல்லாங் மகாடுத்ைிடுவர் – நூல்வழிமய பார்த்து வரலாறிற் பாரொரகதரமயல்லாஞ் மசர்த்துதறயுெின்மன மைளிந்து (பாடல் – 66)

Meaning: The above stated Sun and Saturn will not kill. Mercury and Venus conjunction will give Dharma Karmadhipathy yoga.

11.5.1. Benefics 114

Venus on account of the ownership of the 5th trikona and the strong Kendra, the 10th house, he becomes a fully benefic planet. Mercury on account of ownership of the strong trikona, the 9th house, he is also a benefic. This is the opinion of many authors. Saturn in spite of being a Lagna lord is not a benefic due to the ownership of a maraka house. Therefore Venus and Mercury are benefics. But the author of Chandra Kaviyam says Mars is also a benefic. It might be due to the ownership of the 4th house.

11.5.2. Malefics Moon, Mars, Jupiter are the malefics as said my many. Chandra Kaviyam takes Moon and Jupiter alone as malefics and treats Mars as benefic. Due to the ownership of the 7th house of maraka, Moon gets the Apamrithyu Dosha. The 3rd and 12th lord Jupiter is also a malefic. Since Mars is the lord of Badhaka place, he is also considered as malefic by many except the author of Chandra Kaviyam.

11.5.3. Yogakarakas Since Venus gets the ownership of a Kendra and a trikona he is the full Rajayoga planet. Since 9th house is a strong trikona and owner of this house Mercury also becomes a yogakaraka. Since the 9th house is the Moolatrikona of Mercury, the lordship of the 6th house will not be affected. If Mercury and Venus conjoin it will be a great Rajayoga.

11.5.4. Maraka planets Saturn owns the 2nd house. Moon is lord of the 7th house, Jupiter owns the 12th house. Sun is lord of 8th house and Mars being owner of the 11th house becomes a Badhaka lords. Generally all these five planets are maraka planets, Jataka Alankara author says that Saturn is capable of inflicting death. But majority opinion is that since Saturn being a Lagna Lord and karaka for longevity, he will not kill. Sun will not get the blemish of the 8th house ownership and hence he will not kill. Therefore, Moon, Jupiter and Mars are capable of inflicting death. According to Chandra Kaviyam Moon and Jupiter are the strong marakas. 115

120

For this rasi Venus is a friend, Moon, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter are equal and Sun, Rahu and Ketu are enemies.

12.4. Bhava results 12.4.1. Saturn Owner of Lagna as well as the house of loss, Saturn is considered as a benefic. Because Lagna is the Moolatrikona sign. If he is with strength, bodily comforts, dignity, name, fame, income will be good. Longevity will increase. He should not be spoiled.

12.4.2. Jupiter Owner of the 2nd house of finance and 11th house of gains, assumes importance because himself is karaka for finance. Nut it cannot be said that he is a benefic or a yogakaraka. But he will give the results of the karakatwa of the planets conjoining him and also the bhavas aspected by him will flourish. For example if he aspects Mars as well as the 10th house, native may get a job in Government. If he aspects the 4th house and Venus (house of vehicles and karaka for vehicles) yoga for having many and high ended vehicles may come. Hence Jupiter should be placed in a good benefic bhava and should conjoin the lord of the bhava or aspect him.

12.4.3. Mars

122

Owner of the 3rd house of courage and the 10th house of livelihood, Mars is considered as a benefic only. Courage, success, advantage from siblings, higher positions, army, police, Government will be some of the departments native may get employment. There will be always the benevolence of Goddess Lakshmi. The good placements in profession is possible only if he is placed in his 3rd or the 10th house which are his own houses. Since 3rd house is a maraka place for fixed Lagna, if Mars is with strength health may not be satisfactory. Other aspects like siblings, courage, success, business etc. will be good. Government offices, police, army, postal department, medicine, industries, fire service, building industry, engineering, banks are some of the fields the native may work. In the field of trade Building materials, matchbox, housing plots, kerosene, electrical appliances, gold ornaments, pearl can be mentioned.

12.4.4. Venus As per the special rule Venus being the owner of the 4 th Kendra and the 9th trikona, becomes a Rajayoga planet. A doubt may arise that Kendradipatya Dosha as well as badhakathipatya Dosha may come. But Thandavamalai says (as per sloka below) when a planet gets both Kendradipatya dosha as well as a badhakathipatya Dosha that planet will give a Rajayoga. ”மகந்ைிர மகாணத்ைிபமராரு வராகில் கிளர்சுபமயாக பலதனக் மகாடுப்பர்.” Hence Venus is a fully yogakaraka. If he is with strength, education, house, vehicle, mother’s comforts, finance, paternal property, guru (teacher), God’s gifts will be good. If Venus is spoiled, the above said results may suffer. He should be with strength.

12.4.5. Mercury Owner of the good bhava the 5th house and the bad bhava of 8th house. 8th house for Mercury is his own, exaltation and Moolatrikona house only the malefic ownership gets strengthened. Hence he is a malefic. If he is in his own house in the 5th, the results of the 5th house will be good. If Saturn or Venus conjoins Mercury good results will follow. If he is placed in the 8th house and is not associated with other malefics that will give rise to Sarala Yoga. Long life, strong mind, courage, good learning, finance and children will be good. If he is placed in the 9th house, due to the Bhavat bhava result putra bhava will be 123

strengthened, but debts, worries and troubles will also be there. Generally it is good if he gets associated with the benefics.

12.4.6. Moon Owner of the 6th house diseases, debts and enemies, Moon becomes a malefic. If he is with strength Asthma, cold in the chest, stomach pain, appendicitis, sinus will be the diseases with which the native will be afflicted. If he gets debilitated in the 10 th it will be good. There is an opinion it will be good if he exchanges houses with Lagna Lord Saturn.

12.4.7. Sun Owner of the 7th house. Even though father of Saturn, both are enemies. Still being a Kendra lord he is considered as a benefic by many. If he is placed in the own house of 7th, good spouse will be coming. Wealth will increase after the coming of the spouse. Business will increase. Will have good comforts and influence. If he is spoiled the above said results will change. There will be losses and troubles from Government. If is debilitated in the 9th house, blemish to the spouse, financial loss, destruction or loss in partnership business will be experienced. Hence Sun should be with strength.

12.5. Benefic-Malefic explanation கும்ப லக்னத்ைில் கூடிப் பிறந்ைவர்க்குப் பாம்பு குருமசய் பாவி பண்பிரவி – விம்புபுகர் புந்ைிசனி நல்லன் புகர் மசயுங் கூடியிடிற் றந்ைரசர் மயாகந்ைரும். (பாடல் – 67)

Meaning: For those born in Aquarius Lagna the natural benefic Jupiter and Mars will give bad results. Bright Sun, Venus, Mercury and Saturn are benefics. They will give auspicious results. If Venus and Mars conjoins there will be Dharma karmadhipathy yoga.

12.5.1. Benefics Majority authors have stated that Mercury and Venus are benefics. Due to the ownership of a Kendra and a trikona Venus is a benefic. Mercury is a benefic on account of the ownership of the 5th trikona. Chandra Kaviyam says that Saturn is also a benefic. 124

12.5.2. Malefics Jupiter, Moon and Mars are the malefics as per many classics. Even though Mars gets the ownership of the 10th Kendra he is considered as a malefic because for a fixed Lagna the 3rd bhava is a maraka place and Mars gets the ownership of the 3rd house too.

12.5.3. Yogakrakas Thandavamalai says Venus alone is capable of giving yoga results. Mercury was not considered as a yogakaraka since he gets the ownership of the 8th house. Jataka Alankara says Mercury is also a yogakaraka. Chandra Kaviyam says if Venus and Mars conjoin there will be Rajayoga. Hence Venus if placed alone results will be good. If Mercury, Mars and Venus conjoin there will be good results.

12.5.4. Maraka Planets ைருகுருவுமெ மகால்லான் சந்ைிரனும் மசயும் மவருவியிடக் மகால்வர் ெிக்காய் – வருவிபரங் கண்டு பிலனாய்க் கருத்ைிலறிந் மையுதரயும் கண்டு மொழிநல்லாய் கசிந்து (பாடல்-68)

Meaning: Jupiter is the owner of 2nd and 11th house. Even though 2nd house is a natural maraka place, Jupiter will not kill. For fixed Lagna 3rd house is a special maraka place and the lord Mars along with the 6th lord Moon are strong marakas. Others will not kill. Generally Jupiter, Moon, Mars and Mercury are capable of inflicting death. Majority opinion is that Jupiter will not kill. Mercury can kill. Moon and Mars are the worst marakas.

13.4. Bhava Lords 13.4.1. Jupiter Owner of Lagna and the 10th house, majority is of the opinion that Jupiter gets Kendradipatya Dosha. But Lagna is both a Kendra and a trikona and hence he becomes a strong benefic. As Jupiter is karaka for finance, authority and finance will be coming. If he is with strength, long life, good character, financial comforts, authority, status, profession, dignity from Government will be some of the good results. If he is spoiled, the above stated good results, especially name and finance will be spoiled. He should not be placed in Kendra. He can be placed in other houses. If he is in the 4th house it will be a Simhasana Yoga. High post, authority and status will be there. For a dual Lagna 7th house is a maraka place as well as a Badhaka place and hence he should not be placed either in Lagna or the 7th house. It will be good if he is placed in a trikona. Politics, Government office, education, judiciary, treasury, Income tax, bank, medicine and religion are some of the fields where the native may get employment. Business in groundnut, banana, honey, sugarcane, gold and topaz will flourish.

13.4.2. Mars 132

Mars is the owner of the 2nd house of finance and the 9th house of fortune and hence he becomes a yogakaraka. If he is with strength, comfortable financial position, Government support, luck and good job is assured. If he is spoiled, set back in profession, loss of paternal property, losses and troubles for self as well as for father, confusion in the family will be the result. If he conjoins Jupiter and/or Moon, it will give rise to a Rajayoga.

13.4.3. Venus An enemy of Lagna lord Jupiter, Venus is the owner of the 3rd and 8th house and both being a bad house Venus becomes a malefic. Since 3rd and 8th house indicates longevity, if Venus is with strength finance will not be good. If he is placed in own 8th house it will be Sarala Yoga. If he is exalted in Lagna long life, name, fame will increase. Kendra and trikona placements are also good.

13.4.4. Mercury Owner of the two Kendra 4th and 7th Mercury gets the blemish of ubhaya kendradipatya Dosha and becomes a malefic. An enemy of Lagna lord. But is a karaka for comforts, learning, mother, house, vehicles, spouse, partner in business, married life and general comforts. If he is conjoined or aspected by Jupiter and/or Mars and is with strength, finance will be good. If he is placed in the 2nd, 6th or the 8th house health will get spoiled. If he is placed in trikona, Kendradipatya Dosha will leave and beneficial results will be there. Placement in Lagna or the 7th house is not good. Dosha will aggravate. If he is placed in the 10th house education and profession will be good.

13.4.5. Moon Since Moon gets the ownership of the 5th house of Purva Punya becomes a benefic. It is better if he gains strength. Finance, knowledge, intelligence, prophecy, luck will find an upward trend. Intelligent sons will be born. God’s benevolence will be there. If he is spoiled the above stated good results will not be there. If he is placed in 11 th house it will be a dhana yoga. If he is in Cancer along with Mars, Moon dasa will be a yoga dasa.

13.4.6. Sun

133

Owner of the 6th house of disease, enemy and debts, bad ownership results. He is a friend of Lagna lord. As the Sun is also considered as a Lagna next to Janma Lagna and Moon, if he is with strength, bad results will not be there. But there will be many enemies. But capacity to win over them will be there. If he is in the 2 nd house health and finance will be spoiled. If he conjoins Saturn many troubles will be given by him. If he is placed in the own house of 6th, he will be an independent monarch. But will be of obstinate character and will get their work done. For the sake of fame will waste their time and money.

13.4.7. Saturn Owner of the 12th house of loss and the special maraka place of 11th house being the dual Lagna which is also the house of gains, becomes a malefic. House of gains is an important house. He should not be spoiled. If he is with strength, income will increase. If he is spoiled income will go down and health will also be spoiled. If he is placed in the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th or the 11th house it will be good. If Saturn is Aries and Mars is in Capricorn it will be a Dhana Yoga. Reason being there is an exchange between 2nd lord of finance and 11th lord of gains. Saturn here gets Neecha Bangha also. Industrial improvement, house, vehicle, bondage, political improvement will all be there.

13.5. Benefic-malefic explanation ெீன விலக்கினத்ைான் மெலாய்ப் பிறந்ைவர்க்குச் சூனசனி புந்ைிபுகர் சூாியன் மபாந்னூனமுடன் பாவியாஞ் மசய்ெைியும் பண்புதடய நல்லவர்கள் மகாவுகுரு மசவ்வாயும் கூடில். (பாடல் 69)

Meaning: For Pisces Lagna Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Sun and Jupiter are malefics. Mars and Moon are benefics. If Mars and Jupiter conjoin (The verse ends here and the result of this combination is stated in the next verse) it will be a Rajayoga.

13.5.1. Benefics Moon due to its ownership of the 5th trikona and Mars due to the ownership of the 9th trikona are considered as benefics. This has been accepted by almost all.

13.5.2. Malefics 134

Venus due to bad ownership of the 3rd and 8th house is a malefic. Mercury, owner of the 4th and 7th house due to the blemish of maraka place as well as Badhaka place becomes a malefic. Sun, owner of the 6th house of enemies, debts and diseases becomes a malefic. Saturn, owner of the 11th house which is a special maraka place for the dual Lagna and also because of the lordship of the 12th house of losses becomes a malefic.

13.5.3. Maraka Planets கூடி லிராசாிக்க மயாகமுண்டாங் மகாற்ரெதை நாடு மசவ்வாய் மகால்லானலிசனிமயா – குருபுகர் பானுபுைன் மகால்வார்கள் தபம்பாகி மநாடனவுந் மைனுமொமழா ொமை மைாி. (பாடல் 70)

Meaning: The owner of the 6th house of disease, debt and enemy, Sun is a maraka. Owner of the 3rd and 8th house Venus is also a maraka. Strength less Saturn is a maraka. Mercury is also a maraka. All the four will inflict death in their dasa. Above stated malefics namely Mercury, Saturn and Sun are capable of killing. Mars even though is owner of the 2nd house of maraka will not kill as per Thandavamalai. Saturn due to the ownership of the 11th house of special maraka place and Mercury getting the ownership of the 7th house of maraka become strong marakas. Others will inflict death depending upon their placement. That is to say that the other marakas stated above will kill if they are placed in maraka places or other bad houses.

13.5.4. Yogakarakas Moon due to ownership of the 5th house, Mars due to the 9th lordship and Jupiter on account of the 10th lordship are yogakarakas. Jataka Alankara says that Mars and Moon are yogakarakas and that is because of Jupiter. Thandavamalai says if Jupiter conjoins Mars and Moon there will be yoga and Jupiter left alone will not give any yoga. Chandra Kaviyam says that Jupiter is a malefic but if he conjoins Mars will become good. Generally for any Lagna the conjunction of 9th and 10th lord produces Dharma Karmadhipati yoga and if another trikona lord viz. 5th lord joins there will be Rajayoga. Hence Moon, Mars and Jupiter conjunction will produce Rajayoga.

14. Explanation on timing of important events So far I have explained about the 12 Lagnas. I feel that the timing of events given will be of some use to all. It is enough if we know the dasa and Antardasa running for a native when he has come for consultation. One can easily say whether the event asked for by the native will happen or not from the Dasa-Antardasa given for each important events. It is stated that in a particular dasa and particular Antardasa/s, a certain event will happen. It is also possible to happen the other way also viz. In the Antardasas stated may become dasa and dasa may become Antardasa. For example for Pisces Lagna it is given that In Moon dasa, Jupiter Antardasa marriage will happen. Alternately marriage is also likely to happen in Jupiter dasa-Moon Antardasa. Likewise for all events it is to be understood. That is to say that the dasa-antardasa are interchangeable. Additionally, if the Gochara or the transit of planets are also taken into consideration while pronouncing the results, there may not be any mistakes. The aspect of Jupiter bestows many beneficial results while in transit. If Jupiter is aspecting the Bhava relevant to the question asked by the native or the Bhava Lord, the event will be a successful one and most likely to materialize. For example, in the above case if the transit Jupiter aspects the 7th bhava or its lord then marriage is definite.

14.1 Double transit Double transit is said to happen when Jupiter and Saturn in their transit aspect one and the same Bhava. The results indicated by the Bhava is bound to flourish. In the example cited above if both Jupiter and Saturn aspect the 7th bhava, the results of the 7th bhava will definitely materialize. Jyotish has been written keeping in mind the male gender. However, it is applicable to female also though there might be slight changes and/or deviations for them. For example for male 8th house indicates longevity and for female it denotes the Mangalya Place or the longevity of the husband also. These points have been clarified in the book “Effects of planets on horoscope”. The dasa-antardasa results are of general nature. Sri Athithyathi Navagraha Devadabhyo Namaha
