SANKETA FOUR

1. This chapter describes in short the effects of different houses in a chart. These effects may be due to occupation, ownership, aspect etc., of various planets in the said house whether reckoned from Ascendant or from Moon. The contents in this chapter have been taken from other existing works on Astrology. If all the planets aspect the Ascendant or Moon, a powerful Rajayoga is formed.

2. The following matters should be judged from 1^st house or Ascendant appearance of the native, his complexion, vitality, proportion of different parts of his body, spots, caste, rank, happiness, misery, head, body, mothers father, fathers mother.

3. If in a nativity benefics be in 6th, 7th and 8th houses from Ascendant or Moon, and there be no association with or aspect of malefics on them, the native would be long-lived and ruler of a mighty kingdom. Benefics in Ascendant are always beneficial to the native while malefics in that house cause untoward effects.

4. If there be a strong benefic in Ascendant the native would be of heavy build. If Moon be in Ascendant and be associated with or aspected by a malefic, the native would suffer from cold, indigestion etc. If a malefic planet occupies first half of Ascendant, the native would have some trouble in the left side of the forehead. If a malefic be posited in the other half, the trouble would be in that part.

5. A malefic in Ascendant gives a wound. in the head. If Moon be in Ascendant, the native is likely to get some trouble from water. If Mars be the owner of Ascendant, the native would look youngish even in old age. If there is Mercury in Ascendant, the native would be of childish (also witty) nature.

6-7. If Sun and Mars are posited in Ascendant, there would be a red spot or mark in the part of the body signified by the sign of Ascendant. Similarly if Rahu and Saturn are posited in Ascendant there would be black spot in that part of the body signified by, the sign of Ascendant. If Jupiter be posited in his own sign in Ascendant, the mode of speaking would be sweet and soft and he would eat sumptuous meals. If Mercury be occupying Ascendant in its own sign, the native would like food of astringent flavour. If Venus be placed similarly together with Moon, the native would have taste for pungent and acidy foods. If similar position be occupied by Rahu and Saturn or Ketu and Saturn, the native would be fond of very pungent things like black pepper. If Ascendant be occupied by Sun and Mars or by Mars and Saturn, the native would be arrogant, proud, of nasty nature and fond of acrid things.

8. The native would be long-lived if the lord of Ascendant be a benefic and strong and benefics be placed in Ascendant. He would be short-lived if there be malefics in Ascendant. If Mars and Sun be posited in Ascendant, the native would be greedy. If Ascendant be in a malefic sign (i.e. sign owned by a malefic) and Moon and Jupiter are also associated with malefics, the native would become a victim of diseases of the head.

End of 1st House

SECOND HOUSE

9. The second house is called Dhana bhava or the house of wealth. The other objects that concern this house are family (it is also called Kutumba bhava), treasury, eyes, face, speech, selling and buying, gold, pearls, silver etc.

10. If the lords of Ascendant and 2nd house be placed in the 2nd house along with benefics, the native would derive all good effects of this house. If the second house be associated with or aspected by powerful benefics, the native would get lot of wealth and would be sweet and soft in speech. If Mercury aspected by Moon be in the 2nd house the native would be poor.

11. If there be waning Moon in the 2nd house and be aspected by Mercury, there would be destruction or loss of wealth. If there be Venus in the 2nd house and be aspected by Mercury there would be gain or acquisition of wealth. If Sun he posited in the 2nd house, the native would get marks or signs of diseases on his body. If Sun in the second house be aspected by a female planet (Moon or Venus), the native would possess harsh speech and would not be rich.

12. If Sun with Mercury be in the 2nd house, the native would be clever in serving others. His wealth would not be stable and would remain in control of the relative or person indicated by house of the planet associated with Sun in the second house (i.e. Mercury), for example, if Taurus be Ascendant, Mercury being lord of 5th house which is in a female sign Virgo, native would be controlled by his daughter.

13. If the planet so associated be a female planet happening to be the lord of third house, the wealth would be in control of the natives sister. If the associating planet be the lord of 4^th the wealth should he in control of the mother, while if the associating planet be the lord of 6th, the wealth should he in control of the maternal uncle. If Rahu be in second house, the native would suffer from dental troubler. If Moon occupies the second house the native would suffer from high fever affecting the brain.

14. If a malefic along with Venus be posited in second house, the native would either be without sight in one of his eyes or his eyes would have some other defect (like squint etc.). This disposition would also cause defect in his speech (stammering). If Venus or Mars be in 2nd or 12th house, the native would suffer from ear troubles. If Moon be in such position, the native would have eye-troubles.

15. If a powerful Jupiter or a powerful Mercury be posited in 2nd house, the native would be a great orator and his speech would be sweet and soft. If Ketu is in 2nd, the native would have a long face. If a planet alongwith his enemy planet occupies 2nd house, the Person concerned would die on account of some disease of the mouth.

16. If Moon be in 2nd, the native would have to face danger from water. If Saturn and Rahu be in 2nd alongwith female planets, the native would squander away all his wealth through his association with low-caste people, prostitutes, singers and the like.

17. If the lord of 2nd house and Mars, both posited in 2nd house be weak, the wealth of the native would be lost through enemies, fire or the king (government). If Mars be in second house along with a malefic, the native would lose his wife on account of blood-poisoning, or by injury from a weapon.

End of 2nd House

THIRD HOUSE

18. The 3rd house deals with following subjects Arms of the native, his nature, mothers paternal uncle, fathers maternal uncle, maid servants, ear, courage, brothers.

19. If 3rd house be in a benefic sign and be aspected by a benefic, this would lead to the happiness of brothers and gain of wealth. If Saturn be posited in 3rd house and be aspected by Mars, this disposition would cause loss of brothers. If 3rd house be aspacted by Jupiter or Venus, it would cause auspicious results for brothers.

20. If Jupiter be placed in 3rd house in own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) the brothers of the native would enjoy happiness and prosperity. If Saturn be in 3rd house, the native would be fortunate. If Rahu and Saturn be together in 3rd house, the native would suffer from some disease of nails. He would also have in his right hand a sign of injury caused by wood and would suffer from wind trouble.

21. If Mars and Sun be placed in 3rd house, the native would suffer from bone fracture. He would do cruel acts. There would be no such fracture if there be a benefic in 3rd house. The native would have as many brothers as would be Navamsas that have risen in 3rd house and aspected by Mars and Moon.

22. If Sun be posited in own sign (Leo) in 9th house (from where it folly aspects 3rd house), the native would suffer from loss of brothers. If, however, any of them survives, he would become equal to a king. If Moon aspected by malefics, be in 3^rd house, the native would be deprived of all his brothers. Sun in 3^rd house causes loss of elder brother, Mars causes loss of younger brother and Saturn and Rahu in the same position destroy both elder and younger brothers.

23. If Mars aspected by cruel planets (malefics), be placed in 3rd house, the native would have signs of injury from a weapon in his arm or arms. In this disposition the younger brother of the native would suffer from a disease of the throat caused by Pitta Dosha. If malefics together with their enemies be

in 3rd house, the native would suffer from pain in the arms and from paralysis. His wife would be indulging in gambling excessively if Jupiter be in 3rd house.

24. If Saturn be in 7^th, Rahu in 9th and Mars in 11^th house, loss of brothers should be predicted. The same prediction should be made if Saturn be in 3rd and be aspected by malefics. Mercury, Jupiter and Venus in 3rd house are auspicious for the prosperity of brothers. If malefics be in 3rd house, or if that house be aspected by them, there would be loss of two brothers.

25. If Moon and Saturn be in 9th and third house respectively, or if Rahu alongwith benefics be in 3rd, the native would have to bear the loss of three sisters. With this disposition moles will appear on the two arms or the belly.

26. If Venus be in 3rd house aspected by Rahu, the sister of the native would die as a result of poisoning. If Such Venus be aspected by Saturn, there would be danger from serpents. If malefics be in third house, the hearing capacity of the native would be adversely affected.

End of Third House

FOURTH HOUSE

27-28. The subjects to be considered from 4th house are - happiness, land. conveyance, a reservoir, tank, well, agricultural land, close friends, mother, chest, dwelling place etc. If 4th house be aspected by or associated with benefics and lord of 4th be posited with strength in 4th, then beneficial results would accrue from it. If a powerful Sun and Mars he posited in 4th, the native suffers from ulcers caused by excess of Pita (bile).

29. If Mars in 4th be aspected by Saturn and Rahu and Moon, mother of the native would be unchaste. Whichever planet be placed in 4th, its qualities-whether good or had, would be attributed to particular relative of the native indicated by that planet.

30. If Venus and Moon be posited in 4^th, the native likes water of a tank. If Mercury be there, he would have preference for sweet water. If Jupiter be in the same position the native would like very sweet water and other edibles. If Rahu and Saturn occupy 4th house, the native would get water with a pungent and bitter taste. If Sun and Mars be there, water would be difficult to get.

31. The structure of the house of the native would depend on the planet posited in 4th. If there be more than one planet, the structure would be according to the strongest of them. With Mercury in 4th the house would be artistic, with Moon new, with Jupiter strong and durable, with Sun and Ketu flimsy, with Saturn and Rahu-old, with Venus lovely, with Mars a building affected by fire.

32. If Moon and Venus be in 4th house, the food, the flavour, the metal etc., liked by the person would be dainty food, sweet things and silver. The metals etc. would vary according to planets posited in 4th and would be gold, bell-metal, pearls, copper, decorated with gems, and iron when the occupying planet be Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, Mars or Saturn.

33. If there be query as to the contents in the house of the native, the answer would depend on the planet posited in 4th. This has already been explained in the previous sloka. It Rahu be in 4th house, there would be bones and similar things in the house.

If the query be about a missing article, and at the time of the query, Jupiter be in 4th the missing article would be in the mansion itself. In case of other planets in 4th house, the missing article would be at the places mentioned below: Mars-Fireplaces; Mercury-Places where bricks are stored; Venus and Moon-where there is water; Saturn-At a dirty place; Sun-place outside the house; Rahu-Where animals are kept. If above planets instead of being placed there, aspect 4th house, the answer would be the same.

34. In this manner effects should be delineated both in the query and birth charts. Full effects would be realised if the planets be possessed of adequate strength. If benefits be posited in 4th house, they would bring happiness to the parents of the native, the native would be pious and be a devotee of God Vishnu. It would not be so if there be malefic in 4th house.

35. If there be Mars in 10th house and it aspects Sun, of the native dies after a heart attack. If 10th house be occupied by Saturn and Moon aspects it, mother dies of the same disease. In this diposition the native would also be afraid of relations and would be poor. Mars in 4th house would bring trouble from fire. Saturn in same position would give wind trouble to the native. If 4th house be inhabited by malefics, the number of children would be restricted to two or three.

36. If the lord of Ascendant along with the lords of 4^th and 10th houses, be in 12tb, 6th or 7th or be eclipsed on account of proximity to Sun or be otherwise weak by being posited in an enemy house or by being in its sign of debilitation, both the native and his parents would suffer badly. The effect of this combination would be hastened if the lord of Ascendant be also aspected by malefics.

End of Fourth House

FIFTH HOUSE

37. The subjects that are to be considered from 5^th house are intelligence, any plan or scheme, literary works, stomach, disciples, conception, Mantra Sadhana, issues, children, worship of deities.

38. If the lord of 5th be strong and well placed in the horoscope, all auspicious results of 5th house can be expected. If the lord of 5th be weak, opposite (inauspicious) results would accrue. If a weak Sun be posited in 5th the native would have angry temperament and he would be afraid bf his enemies, he would receive injury in feet or stomach by jackals or horses.

39. If there be a weak Mars ia 5^th, the native would have to face troubles from fire, weapons and poison. He would have have to suffer the loss of his children. If Moon and Rahu be in 5th the native would suffer from wind-disease, spleen trouble, and disease caused by worms.

40. If Sun be posited in 5th, the native would have a stable mind. Moon in 5th would make his mind instable (changeable). If Mars be io 5th, the native would be cruel-minded. Mercury in 5th would give him a normal temperament. Jupiter in 5tb gives the native a virtuous disposition and Venus makes him soft hearted. Rabo and Saturn in 5th make the native hard hearted. If benefics be placed in 5th, the native would have a pious mind and be intelligent. If there be malefics in that position tbe the native would get into the habit of speaking ill of the learned.

41. If a weak Moon be posited in 5^th, the native would get daughters but no son. The same would be the result if there be a weak Mercury in 5th. Jupiter in 5^th gives noble sons to the native and Venus gives sons who are clever and intelligent. The children destroyed before birth would be as many as there be malefic planet aspecting the Navamsas of Saturn in 5^th house. No such locc would happen if such Navamsas be aspected by benefics.

42. If there be a malefic in 4th, Venus in 7th and Moon in 10th, the native would be childless. If Sun and Venus be in 5th, the children would die after birth. If 5th house be associated with or aspected by malefics, the native would have no issue (he would be childless).

43. The native would get a daughter, if 5th house be in an even Varga (Hora, Drekkana, etc.) and be associated with Saturn or Mercury and aspected by Moon and Venus. The native can get a son, if 5th house be in an odd Varga or Varga owned by Moon or Venus or aspected by these planets. But the issue can only be a daughter, if in the above case the aspecting planets be Saturn or Mercury and the house be bereft of the aspect of its lord.

44. If Saturn associated with a malefic be in 5th, the native would have no issues. If Mars associated with a malefic be posited there, natives wife would have abortinos. A weak Sun aspected by malefics causes loss of children. If a weak Rahu or Ketu be also there, the child born would grow into an undesirable person.

45. If there be benefics in 5th house or it be aspected by benefics, be in a benefic sign or Amsa, the native is likely to have good children. If 5th house be in the sign or Amsa of Saturn and be aspected by Moon, or if Saturn associated with the lord of the sign or Amsa occupied by Moon, the native would adopt a Son.

46. If Moon alongwith Mercury and Saturn be in 5^th house, the native would purchase a boy and adopt him. If Saturn be aspected by Mercury or be in the sign of Mercury, and be either aspected by Sun and Mars or posited in an Amsa owned by these Planets, or he associated with a pIanet in debilitation, the native would get a son conceived by his wife through mating with another person.

47. When the disposition of 5th house assures prospects of children, there would be male issues if 5th house be aspected by male planets (Sun, Mars, Jupiter) and female issues if the house be aspected by female planets (Venus, Moon). The nature, good or bad of the children, would also be in accordance with the good or bad planets aspecting 5th house. The product of the portion (in Kalas) passed in particular Navamsas (in 5th house) that are aspected and Drigbala obtained thereby would determine the number of children. The number ofchildren woold also correspond to the number of sign (counted from Aries) containing the lord of 5th house. Out of these, the number that would be destroyed, would be equal to that of the malefic and inimical planets aspectiing the lord of 5th house. Or the number of issues may be the number faced for the Sign of 5th house and, would denote the number of sons or daughters as the case may be.

49-50. If there be no strong benetic in 5th house but the lord of 5th be associated with or aspected by a malefic who is also weak, the child would suffer from a disease caused by the humour or humours of the lord of 5th or the planet aspecting or associated with it. If Sun be strong and auspicious in 5^th, the native would get one to three sons. This would happen when be aspected by the lord of 5^th and friendly male planets. If Moon be strong and auspiocious in 5^th, the native would get three daughters. Other planets in the same position would give issues as under: Mercury four sons, Jupiter five sons, Venus four to six daughters, Saturn two daughters and one son.

Generally, the number also depends on the aspect, sex. etc. of planets whether inimical or friendly, whether male or female.

51. If there be a malefic in 11^th house and Venus and the Moon be in 5^th, the first issue would be a daughter, and there be no hapinness to the mother. If the 5^th house be strong an unafflicted and be associated with or aspected by friendly and benefic planets and the lord of 5^th be a benefic and in own sign or Navamsa, the first issue is likely to be a son. The time for having an issue would be when Jupiter in his transit arrives at an odd house reckoned from its natal position.

End of fifth house.

SIXTH HOUSE

52-53 . Of several parts of the body of Kalapurusha, or time-personified, beginning with the head, the sixth is the navel and this is allotted to the sixth house. Sixth is also the house of animals. All good and bad about pet animals belonging to the native should be considered from this house. The other matters which concern 6^th house are cruel actions, diseases, ears maternal uncle enemies, anxiety, suspicions. If the lord of 6th de powerful, owns a benefic sign and be associated with or aspected by benefics auspicious results may be expected from this house. The results would not be favourable if there be malefic influence on 6th house.

54 .If there be strong benefics in sixth house, the native would own good animal-wealth in the shape of cows. If strong Sun and Mars be posited in 6th house, the native would have plenty of animal wealth in the shape of camels and goats. If the remaining malefics Saturn, Rahu and Ketu be posited there, the native would possess buffaloes and would he liable to be injured through them.

55. If Saturn or Rahu be placed in 6th house, the maternal uncle of the native may remain in want of issues. Also the native or his maternal uncle would meet their end by a blow from a wooden article. stone, or through a quadruped, or by fall from a tree or through water.

56. If Sun and Mars posited in 6th be aspected by malefics, injury by weapons or fire to the maternal uncle should be predicted. If male planets possessing adequate strength be in 6^th house or aspect 6th house, the maternal uncle would get a son. The issue would be a daughter if female planets be so disposed. If 6th house has benefic planets in it, there would be no happiness to brothers. If there be malefics in 3rd. there would be little happiness to the native through his brothers and sisters.

57. According to the authors the happiness or otherwise to the native from his brothers and sisters should be considered or examined from 6th house. If there be female planets in 6^th house, the native would get happiness through his sisters. If male Planets be so Placed the happiness would be through brothers. The nature, form, caste, characteristics, cruel deeds. health, etc., of the enemies would be in accordance with the disposition of 6th house or its lord. Where are the spots or moles located in the body, can also be ascertained by a study of 6th house. If Rahu or Saturn be posited in this house, the native would have a black spot or mark on his buttocks.

58. If the native has no spot in his body, it would be found in the body of his wife. The native would suffer from an ulcer or wound if Sun or Mars be in 6th house. As mentioned above, the spot or mole may be found in the neck, right leg or shanks of his wife.

59. If strong Sun be in 6th. the native would destroy his enemies, but he may suffer from colic pain in the hips. If Mars alongwith Rahu be in 6th house, there would be dancer to the native from relations on his mothers side. If Sun or Mars associated with or aspected by Jupiter be in 6th house, the native would suffer from pain in half of his body. Further he is likely to get injured through horned animals or from a blow from an article made of wood.

60. The native would have maternal relations according to disposition of planets as described below: 1) Two maternal uncles if Moon be in 6th and Jupiter in 2nd house. 2) A sickly maternal uncle if Moon be posited with Mars in 6th. 3) A mothers sister, if Venus be in 6th house. If Venus be possessed of full strength there would be two or three sisters of the mother, who would be a source of happiness to the native.

End of sixth house.

SEVEN HOUSE

61. The 7th house denotes the pelvis of the native. The matters that are considered from this house are the natives partner, complaint, watershed, journey, trade or business (partnership) and paternal grandfather.

62. If there be benefics in 7th house, auspicious results would be obtained. The effects would be inauspicious or unfavorable if malefic planets be posited in that house. If Jupiter, Venus or Moon with adequate strength be posited in 7th house the complexion of the Partner of the native would be gold-like. If Mercury placed there be strong, the complexion would be dark blue. Mars there would give complexion of crimson colour. If Saturn or Rahu be there the complexion would be very dark.

63. If the planets mentioned below be with adequate strength in 7th. the results would be as given against them: Sun The wife would have had connections with other men, would be worn out and unfit for conjugal relations; Moon and Mercury Wife would be too young knowing nothing about conjugal relations. One who would have not attained young the age of puberty. Venus or Mars Wife would be in her full youth and health. Jupiter Wife would be handsome, would beget children and would possess good qualities. Saturn or Rahu Wife would appear older than her age.

64. The wife would possess qualities in accordance with planets posited in 7th house as described below: Rahu and Saturn Would not be able to produce children. In other words she would be barren. Venus and Moon Would possess all the good qualities of a female. Sun, Mars, Mercury or Jupiter Would be more of a masculine nature. If seventh house be in a benefic sign (that is, the sign owned by a benefic planet), and associated with or aspected by benefics, the native would derive happiness from his/her mother-in law.

65. If 7th house be in a Varga of Venus or be aspected by Venus, the native would have many wives to enjoy. If 7^th house be in the sign of Jupiter or be aspected by Jupiter, the native would have only one wife to give him conjugal happiness. The nativess wife would be arrogant if 7th house falls in the sign of Moon, Jupiter or Venus and be aspected by Venus or Mars (even if Venus be in its sign of debilitation).

66. If Saturn and Mars be in 7th house or aspect it, the natives wife would be of unstable mind, and would be troubled by wind disease. She would have excessive blood and have marks or moles in her waist. If Moon along with Mars be posited in 7th house and be aspected by Saturn, the natives wife would die of some kind of stomach trouble. I1 Saturn and Rahu be in 7th house, the wife would die of diseases caused by water or worms or by being injured through animals, female imps or evil spirits.

67. If 7th house be inhabited by benefics the native would have normal sexual desires and satisfy them accordingly. If malefics occupy 7th house, such desires of the native may not be in the right direction. If impotent planets like Mercury be in 7th house, the native may be impotent. If Rahu be in 7th house and gets no benefic aspect, the native may have to remain unmarried. If he gets married, his wife would die soon after marriage. If, however, there be benefic influence on 7th house, the death of the natives wife may take place after some time. If Mars occupies 7th and 8th house has Saturn in it. The native would have two wives (our understanding is that the second wife would come after the death of the first in such disposition).

68. If Moon aspects 7th house, the wife of the native would be of changeable nature (in her moral behaviour). The same would be the consequence if Moon is in a Varga of Jupiter and be associated with or aspected by Mercury. If Moon is in 7th house and falls in a Varga of Saturn or Mars, and be associated with or aspected by either of these two planets, both the husband and the wife would be of loose moral character. If Venus be in any way influenced (by association or aspect) by either of these two planets, the native would give up his wife and develop illicit relations with another woman.

69. If Saturn, Moon and Mars be associated together, or there be mutual aspect amongst them, or Moon falls between Mars and Saturn, both the husband and the wife would be of loose moral character. If the lord of 7th be in Navamsa of Mercury and be also aspected by Mercury the wife of the native would behave like a prostitute.

70. There would be uo marriage for the native, if malefics be in the Ascendant, 7th. and 12th house and a waning Moon be placed in 5th in the sign of a malefic. If Sun be placed in 6th or 12th house or Ascendant, the native would marry only once. If Mars and Venus be posited in 9th, 5th or 7th, the native would have one wife only but she would have a deformed body, and low intelligence.

71. If Venus be in gandanta position (Simultaneous end of sign and constellation) or Venus be in 7th and Saturn in Ascendant, the wife of the native would be barren, for this combination to materialize, 5th house should also fall in a cruel sign owned, occupied or aspected by a maletic. If 7th house from Ascendant or Moon be inhabited by malefics and Saturn and the Moon be in 7th the wife would become a widow and would remarry after widowhood.

72. The number of wives a person may have, would be equal to the number of Navamsas passed by the lord of 7th if the sign occupied by it. This number may also be equal to the number of planets aspecting 7th house. If the lord of 7th house is in a Navamsa owned by Mercury and Saturn, or Mars and Saturn, the native would marry only once. If Mars, Saturn and Rabu be in 6^th, 8^th and 7^th house respectively the natives wife would not survive even if be marries a number of times.

73. If Mars, Saturn and Rahu be together in 7th or 8th house, the native would be liable to be bitten by a dog or suffer from venereal diseases.

End of 7th house.

EIGHTH HOUSE

74. Eighth house is known as the house of mystery. Matters to be exammd from the 8th house are fear from enemies, origination of diseases, hole or a slit on boat, imprisonment, crossing the river, theft, fighting, acting in an unbecoming manner, happiness, misery, etc.

75. The consideration of 8th house should be done in the same manner as that of 2nd house. That is, if Moon be strong so far as 8th house is concerned, the same effect should be said as in the case of 2nd house. Benefics bestow wealth upon the native malefics there would destroy it. Malefics in 8th house, may caused wounds or moles in the private parts of the native or his wife.

76. If malefics be in 8th house, the native would suffer badly from various diseases. In the case of a query about success, in conquering a fortress, if 8th house of the query chart occupied by malefics, it should be understood that the native would not have quick success, While besieging the fortress; he would be involved in a long drawn battle and may lose a number of his men.

If the query is whether the captured person would be released or not, the answer would be that he would get released very soon from enemys bondage through the efforts of a brave warrior. About the query whether the boat, would cross the river safely or not, the answer would be in the affirmative.

77. If lord of Ascendant be an enemy of Sun, the native would be short-lived. If it be neutral, the native would have normal (medium) life. If the lord of Ascendant be friendly to Sun the native would enjoy a long life. Similarly if the lord of Ascendant occupies a friendly house, the native would be long-lived, If he be in a neutral house, the native would have medium life. He would be short-lived, if the lord of Ascendant be in an inimical house.

78. If the lords of the Ascendant and 8th house be posited in moveable signs or if either of them be in a fixed sign and the other in a dual sign, the native would be long-lived. So say the sages.

79. If either of the lord of Ascendant one occupies a moveable sign and the other a fixed one or if both be in dual signs, the native would have medium longevity. If one be in a moveable sign and the other in a dual sign, or if-both be in fixed signs, the native would be short lived. This is the first method of determining the longevity of the native. The other method for ascertaining the longevity is to adopt the same process for Ascendant and Moon. That is, if Ascendant and Moon be both in moveable signs, or if one be in a fixed sign and other be in a dual one, the native would be long-lived. When Ascendant occupies a moveable sign and Moon be in a fixed sign, or if both of them be in dual signs, the native would have medium longevity. lf Ascendant he in a moveable sign and Moon in a dual sign, or if both of them be in fixed signs, the native would be short-lived. The third method would be by adopting a similar process for Ascendant at birth and Hora Lagna.

80. In determining the natives longevity if there be agreement according to two or more methods mentioned in the previous two slokas, thar longevity alone should be taken as correct, There is one more important point to be kept in mind. What has been mentioned above as long, medium or short life due to the lords of Ascendant and lord of 8th house occupying movenble, fixed or dual signs; would apply only when the signiflcators occupy the beginning of a sign and not its end. When they be posited in positions other than the beginning, the period has to be calculated by the rule-of-three process. If there be disagreement, the longevity should be settled in the manner described in the next sloka. In order to obtain the Hora Lagna, if the birth Ascendant happens to be in an odd sign, calculations have to be made from the sign occupied by Sun. If the Ascendant be in an even sign, calculation should be made from the Ascendant itself.

81. The death of the native should be predicted during the Dasha (major period) of (1) a planet owning a. Maraka (Death inflicting) house (2nd and 7th), (2) a malefic planet posited in the 2nd or 7th house or (3) a planet that has relationship with them.

82. If the death does not take place in any of the periods, mentioned above, it might take place during the period of the lord of 12th house or of the planet who may be related to it, or if, might take place during the period of the lord of 8th house or durmg the period of a planet who rules a constellation that is inauspicious with reference to the birth constellation of the native. The native would be long-lived, if the lords of Ascendant, 10th, and 8th house, have adequate strength.

83. Saturn also becomes a death inflicting planet when he be a malefic in a birth chart and has relationship with death inflicting planets.

84. If Mars and Saturn be together with Rahu in 8^th house, the death of the native would take place in the battlefield through weapons etc. A benefic posited in 8th house would also be capable of inflicting death in the battlefield if aspectrd by inimical and malefic planets.

End of 8th house.

NINTH HOUSE

85. The 9th house is called the house of Fate-Bhagya. It is the house of prosperity and auspiciousness and represents the thighs of the Kalapurusha, while according to some the legs. The matters which are considered from 9th house are palace, temple, well, reservoir, pilgrimage to holy places, good deeds.

86. What is predicted about brothers from 3rd house, should be predicted from 9th house also. All will be good and auspicious for the native if the lord of 9th be a benefic and if 9^th house be associated with or aspected by benefics. If 9th house from Ascendant or Moon be aspected by the lord of 9^th prosperity would be enjoyed by the native in the country of his birth. If 9^th house be aspected by some other planet or planets, the native would gain prosperity in a foreign country.

87. If there be a malefic planet in 9th house, the native would be sickly and would have an ulcer in his foot. If Rahu be posited in 9th, the native would have defective nails and would suffer from pain in his bones. If Mars be there, the native would suffer from fire or poison. If there be male planets in ninth the native would have brothers, and have sisters if 9th be occupied by female bcnefic planets. If 9th be occupied by benefics possessing adequate strength, specially in exaltation, the native would enjoy prosperity in all ways. If an exalted planet aspects 9th house from Ist, 3rd or 5th, the native would definitely enjoy good prosperity (Only Jupiter can aspect 9th, house from 1st and 5th). If a benefic like Jupiter and Venus attaining his highest exaltation point be posited in 9th and the combination mentioned previously be also present, a Rajayoga is formed and its effects would be full. If Saturn and Mars be also posited in 9^th, the effect of Rajayoga would be half. Even if a weak benefic be placed in 9^th the native would be virtuously disposed and would perform religious deeds.

89. If the lord of Ascendant or the lord of the sign in which Moon be posited, be in the visible half (from descendant to ascendant), the native would be prosperous throughout his life. If Mars and Moon be in 9th, the native would suffer the loss of his mother. If Sun and Moon be in 9th, the native would suffer the loss of his mother. If Sun and Moon be in 9th, the native would be short-lived. If Mars also joins combination, the native would be in strange and unexpected circumstances.

90. The native attains salvation after death with the following combinations: 1) If the lords of Ascendant 9th and 8th houses possess adequate strength and aspect their own houses. 2) If benefics be posited in 9th and there be no malefic influence on this house.

TENTH HOUSE

91. 10th house denotes the two knees and back bone of the native. The matters which concern 10th house are the natives business, occupation, livelihood, father, sovereign, government, position, administrative appointment, happiness, banner, rain, drought, action, family etc.

92. Just as all about mother is to be considered from 4th house, so all about father should be considered from 10th house. If the lord of 10th be a benefic planet with adequate strength and be associated with benehc planets, or if 10th house has benefic planets in it and be aspected by friendly planete be all auspicious (that is, favourable to the native).

93. If a full and strong Moon occupies 4th house, Venus with adequate strength be in 7th and Mercury be in 10th, the effects of 10th house would be favourable to the native. (In this case Sun would also be in 10th house). If Jupiter also joins Mercury in 10th, the native would derive full happiness from his brother, mother, father and lands. The native would enjoy full prosperity if Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and full Moon (i.e. all natural benefics) be placed in 10th house. (Here Sun would be in 4^th house).

94. The result would be auspicious for the native if the benefic planets posited in 10th be aspected by benefics. If male planets be strong in 10th, the male members would dominate in the family matters. If female planets be strong there the dominant role in the family would be played by the female members. Men, who have Jupiter in 10th in their birth charts, would be happy. If there be Sun in 10th house aspected by benefics, the native would perform a number of virtuous deeds.

95. The native would suffer from pain in his knees if Sun be in 10th or aspects 10th house. If Mars be in 10th, the native would suffer from injuries, ulcers, wounds through weapons or tire.

He may have to suffer from the wrath of the king or the government. The native would also be separated from his mother.

97. If Sun aspected by Saturn and Rahu be in 10th in a malefic sign, the death of the father may take place in the period of any of the three planets involved in this combination. If there is query whether the rainfall would be good or not, the answer would be in the affirmative if 10th house be occupied by benefics. The answer would be in the negative if planets posited there be malefics. Similarly the rainfall would be good if there be benefics in 10th house in the query chart and a strong Moon receives the aspect of benefics. If there be malefics in 10^th and Moon be aspected by malefics, there would be no rainfall. Even if there is rain it would do more harm than good.

98. The source of livelihood or occupation of the native may be judged from the planet occupying 10th house with adequate strength or the planet with similar strength aspects 10th house. Again, Navamsa of 10th house from Ascendant, Moon or Sun, whichever the strongest, would indicate the profession. If Moon be stronger than Ascendant the profession indicated for Moon should be predicted that is the native would acquire wealth through his skill in the use of language, by trading, by proficiency in various arts etc.

99. If Sun be stronger than Ascendant and Moon, the native would earn his livelihood by pursuing several occupations. If Mars be the strongest planet and be posited in 10th from Ascendant or Moon, the native would earn his livelihood by pursuing base occupations and would remain in his native place, but if he goes abroad he would indulge in sensual pleasures.

100-101. If Mercury be placed in 10th house, similarly with reference to Moon and Ascendant the native would be at the head of many concerns and would be good in earning money through his knowledge of arts and political compositions. If Jupiter be posited in 10th house with the same disposition, the. native would enjoy great prosperity and special greatness and he would be virtuous. When Venus be similarly posited, the native would be a successful man would have decent earnings, would be liked by the king (or government), wou!d lead a comfortable life and would possess knowledge of various arts. If Saturn be in the same position the native would have evil disposition, weakness of body, and would suffer badly on account of prolonged litigation.

102-103-There would be acquisiton of wealth from: 1) father if Sun be posited in 10th house. 2) mother if Moon be so placed, 3) enemies if Mars be in 10th, 4) friend if Mercury be there, 5) brother if Jupiter be in 10th, 6) wife if Venus be in 10th, 7) inferior if Saturn be posited in 10th. The earning could also be by means of profession prescribed for the ruler of Navamsa occupied by planet owning 10th place from Ascendant, Sun or Moon. If such lord is Sun, the native would earn his livelihood by dealing in gold, medicine etc. If the Navamsa belongs to Moon, the livelihood wou!d be by taking up agricultural pursuits, dealing in food materials and things taken out from water (pearls, Ash, etc.). If Mars be the lord of Navamsa, the native would earn his living by doing violent acts. He may be in the police or army or be a surgeon or a butcher. If Mercury rules the Navamsa, the live.ihood would be earned by working as a writer, poet, orator or as an artist. If the lord of Navamsa be Jupiter the natives means of earning would be by engaging in religious acts. If Venus be the ruler of Navamsa, the money would be earned through sale or purchase of jewellery or through women and beautiful objects. If Saturn be the lord of Navamsa the .native would earn his livelihood by undesirable means.

104. The profession of the native would generally be that indicated by planet owning Navamsa occupied by lord of 10^th from Ascendant Moon or Sun whichever be strongest. The native would gain wealth, land, comforts and fame, if planets placed in 10th, Ascendant and 2nd house be bcneflcs and endowed with shad-varga strength.

Just as the effects of planets posited in 5th house are assessed for 5th house, the good or bad effects of 11th house may be decided from the same, as well as from planets posited in 11^th house. If the lord of 11th possesses shadvarga strength be a benefic, the results would be auspicious in every way for the native, (that is he would be prosperous in all respects).

The ancient learneds in Astrology have advised that the results should be declared after assessing the strength and all merits and demerits of planets posited in 11th and of houses owned by them.

112. If 11th house be aspected by benefits and be in the vargas of benefit, the gain derived by the native would be substantial, If even one planet endowed with full shadvarga strength be posited in 11 th and be aspected by all other planets, the native would become a king.
