Chapter 3
Brothers
- The existence of brothers should be divined from either the lord of the 3rd or from the karaka of brothers or from the planets combined with Mars
- If Sun and Mars are associated with the 3rd lord in the 3rd house, the native will be courageous
- Bravery is indicated by the presence of Rahu or Ketu in 3rd, whereas the presence there of Mercury would indicate timidity
- If the 3rd house is occupied by either Jupiter or Mars, the native will have brothers
- Jupiter in the 11th will make one suffer from the elder brother. If Mars is in 11th and is aspected by Saturn, there’ll be no elder brother for the native
- The presence of 10th lord in the 3rd results in the destruction of most rajayogas
- If the 2nd and 3rd lords are associated, the native will be generous. If Saturn combines such an association, the native becomes a miser instead
- If the 3rd lord is in a dusthana, brothers die. If benefics are also there in these houses, the deaths will happen later in life
