HORA M AK AR AND

Text with Translation and

Notes By
H.K. THITE

INTRODUCTION
"Hora Makarand'- seems to have been penned by the author
with a view to synthesizing views of various earlier writers ranging
from Parashara to Satyacharya and Varahamihira Needless to
mention that in the historical chronology of writers on astrology,
Varahamihira is most authentic and presents a both platform for
further research and allows modifications of interpretations to suit
the contemporary terms. And this text should be seen as another
further step in this direction initiated by Varahamihira.
The text does present some very original and useful views for
use of divisional charts, ashtakvarga, and span of life besides
offering rare clues on natal, horary and transit horoscopes.
To sum up, it would not only help evaluate the status of Indian
astrology as it existed a few centunes ago but would also introduce
some new concepts insights and observations valuable and useful,
both for the researcher, or scholar the student.
The very human touch makes things imperfect. And so is this
translation of Mine. Please do not hesitate to help me improve it
further by pointing out improvements to the publ ishers but for whose
efforts this book would not have seen the light of the day.
The text of Horamakarand is of great value to the scholars of
astrology as well as to the students as it has been composed after
studying the work of great sages.

Preface
HORAMAKARAND

Pet the rising Sun looking like a glittering snake hood on the eastern
mountain or like a tender leaf on a day tree or a Lotus In the skylake gives us power of speech.
/ /1 / /

Let the Goddess Bharati ( Saraswati) who looks like a garland of whit flowers and who herself is a science and who looks
amongst the shcolars like a female swan in the lake known as
Manssarovar, get success. Similarly the Sun and the other planets
in the constellation and also the Lotus feat of my holy teacher get
success.

li
Though I have composed this (Hora Makarand) afterstudying carefully the various subjects in the astrological works of the sages like
Badarayan. Vashistha, Parashara, etc. with my scantier understanding, the credit of it goes to those sages.
11211

Let the delightful knowledge in the charming verses'from the work

of Varahamihir remove the darkness away from my Moon like heart
and give happiness to all and be succsssJHAH

Why my verses (in Hora Makarand) like a sound of humming bees

wondering over a fully bloomed Lotus due to the rays of the full
Moon, will notgive happiness to the earsofthe scholars?
11511

Like a humble bee devoted to the Lotus feet of my father I, Gunakar,

now collect the sweet honey (Makarand) from the bunch of flowers like faultless Hora Books of the ancient sages.
//6//

There is no alternative for a human being to know as to-how and

when he will earn money for his livliehood, wealth and prosperity
and how he will overcome the difficult situations in life, except
astrology.
/ /7//

There is no one else other than astrologer who can read, with the
help of the principles of astrology, as to what has been written by
the god almighty on the forehead of a man, //8//

This astrology illuminates the good or bad deeds of the past births
with the help of Dasha system of the planets like Sun, chronologically,
just like things in the dark become visible in the light of a
lamp
//9//

Some sages think that the word "Hora" is derived from the word
"Ahoratra" by dropping the first alphabet "A" and the last alpha-

bet "Tra". Some other sages think that the point between the
horizen and ecliptic is "Hora". While some other think that one half
of
the
sign
is
"Hora".

enemies are equal or neutral. (They are mentioned in the above
table). The planets in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 1 Oth, I Ithand I2tlisigns
from any other planet become the latter's temporary friends and in
the remaining houses viz. 5th. 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th of thegiven
planet acquire temporary enmity.
Commentary Due to the temporary friendship and temporary
enmity the nature of friendship and enmity changes as follows:Permanent Friend + Temporary Friend = Bosom Friend.
Permanent Friend +Temporary enemy = Neutral.
Permanent enemy + Temporary enemy = Bitter enemy.
Permanent enemy + Temporary friend = Neutral.
Permanent Neutral + Temporary friend = Friend
Permanent Neutral +Temporary enemy=enemy //18&I9//
Satyacharya's Opinion.

According to Satyacharya the lords of the signs in the 2nd,

5th, 9th, 8th and 4th houses from the Mooltrikona sign of a planet
become his natural friends. The lord ofthesign of exaltation also
becomes his natural friend. The lord of the remaining signs become his enemies.
7/20//
Commentary
Leo is the Mooltrikona sign of Sun. Moon
being the lord of the !2th house from Leo becomes a friend of
Sun. Similarly, Aries and Scorpio are the 4th and 9th signs from
Leo. Their lord Mars therefore becomes a friend of Sun. The sign
Aries is the sign of exaltation of Sun and therefore Mars is his
friend.
The signs Sagittarius and pisces being the 5th and 8th from Leo.
their lord Jupiter becomes a friend of Sun.
The signs 2nd and 1 llhfrom Leoare Virgo and Gemini. Mercury
being the Lord ofthe 2nd house becomes friend of Sun. while

being the lord of the) I th house is his enemy. Thus Mercury becomes neutral to Sun.
The lords ofthebth. 7th, 3rd and I Gh houses i.e. Capricorn, Aquirius.
Tauras and Libra i.e. Saturn and Venus become natural enemies of
Sun.
Taurus is the Mooltrikona sign of Moon Leo is 4th sign firm Taurus and therefore its lord Sun is a friend of Moon. The 2nd and 5th
signs firm Taurus are Gemini and Virgo and therefore, their lord
Mercury becomes a friend of Moon. 7th and !2th signs from Taunts are Scorpio and Aries, Mars being the lord of 12th house foam
Taurus becomes a friend of Moon while being the lord of the 7th
house becomes his enemy, Thus Mars becomes neutral to Moon.
The Sth and 1 1th signs from Taurus are Sagittarius and Pisces,
Jupiter being the lord oftheSth house becomes a friend of Moon
while being the lord of 11 th house becomes his enemy. Thus Jupiter becomes neutral to Moon. Similarly, the 6th sign firm Taurus is
Libra and the other sign Taums is the sign of exaltation of Moon.
Thus Venus becomes neutral to Moon The ''th and 1 Oth signs from
Taurus are Capricorn and Aquarius. Saturn being the lord of
the 9th house becomes a friend of Moon while being a lord of
I Oth house becomes his enemy. Thus Saturn becomes neutral
to Moon. In this way the friends, enemies and neutrals may be
found out.
Planetary Strength

A sign occupied by its lord or a friend of its lord or aspected by

them or a sign occupied by Mercury or Jupiter or aspected by them
is considered as endowed with positional strength. Else the signs
should be considered without strength.
The signs Aries, Taurus. Second half of Sagittanus and first
half of Capricorn are quadruped. The signs Gemini, Virgo, Libra
and first half of Sagittarius are biped. The sign Scorpio is centiped
while the signs Cancer, second half of Capricorn, Aquarius and
Pisces are watery signs i.e. without feet.

Strength ot Signs In Direction Ana Time

The bipea signs get strength in the ascendent, the centiped signs
get strength in the 7th house, the signs without feet get strength in
the 4th house and quadruped signs get strength in the 10th house.
If these signs are occupied by their lords get additional strength and
become Mahabali. In addition, ifthe biped, quadruped and centiped
signs are in the quadrant and occupied by their lords also get strength.

Aspects Between Planets.

All planets aspect the 3rd and 1 Oth with 25% strength; 4th and 8th
with 50% and 5th and 9th with 75% strength. All planets aspect
7th in full, while Saturn aspects 3rd and lOlh, Mars4th and 8th and
Jupiter 5th and 9th in full in addition to their 7th house aspect. The
planets become productive in the proportion of these aspects. //Bfl
Individual Strength
The strength ofthe planets is in the order given below
Saturn is the weakest then, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Moon
and Sun Is the strongest ofthe lot.
1. Directional Strength
Jupiter and Mercury get strength in the ascciident. Moon and Venus in the 4th, Saturn in the 7th and Sun and Mars in the I Oth
house.
2. Kalahalu
(Kalabala means temporal strength). The Moon, Mars and Saturn
are powerful during the night. The Sun, Jupiter and Venus are powerful during the day. Mercury is always powerful. Planets in their

Dora, week days. Months and years are said to be powerful.

Comincntary;- Here Hora represent ! /24th part of the day. The
|slhora is ofthe day lord, and thereafter the second is that ofthe
6th planet from the day lord and in this order all Horas are calculated.
3. Chcstabala:
(Chestabala is motional strength). The Sun and the Moon in the
signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taums and Gemini
which constitute Uttarayana (Sun's northenly course) and Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn in retrogression or m conjunction with the (full) Moon get Chestabla.
Commentary :- The planets with the Sun are combust and those
with the Moon said to be in Samagam, The planets other than Sun
and Moon, if are in conjunction, it is called Planetary fight. The
planet that has more northern declination is considered as Victor
and gets Chestabala. The planets other than Venus who has Southern
declination are treated as defeated and are without chestabala.
4. Sthanabala.
(This is positional strength). A planet get positional strength as a
rcsult of its occupying a particular house in the horascopc. A planet
gets Sthanabala in its exaltation, own house, Mooltrikona, friendly
house, Swagrahi and in own Navamsha.
The above are the four types of strengths and their ffuitfulness has
been elucidated in Brihat Jataka and are mentioned here for information. The planets who are in their exaltation, in their own signs in
Mooltrikona signs give prosperity and increase wealth. 1 f they are
in the signs of friends and bosom friends make the native happy
and give fame wealth from the king etc., and in case of his own
Navamsha give fame. The planets, if aspected by the benefics having

times a power from the government and happiness, wealth and
success.
A bcnelic plnnet. i("retrograde, bestows t!ic native kingdom and
wealth and malefic planet, irretrograde makes the native suffer
from bad habits and he wanders aimlessly with calamities.)(these
malefics are in their own signs, in Mooltrikona signs or in the sign of
exaltation, they give material happiness, strength and success.
A planet with Kalabala ( temporal strength) bestows the native
landed property, vehicle like an elephant, wealth and courage to
defeat his enemies. The planets who arc the lords ol'the year,

NON-HUMAN BIRTHS

In the Dirth chart, ifthe malefic planets are very strong and the
hcnifics are very weak and (the important planets) Saturn and
Mercury are in quadrant (kendra) or in the ascendent or aspecting
the ascendent the birth should be declared as non-human birth
The Moon occupying the dwadashamslia denotes the species of
the non-human being. Ifthe Moon is in the Dwadashamasha, indicating non-human being, the birth dcfinalely is that of a non-human-bcing.

i.e. Jupiter, Venus and waxing Moon are without strength, the sign
in Dwadashamsha indicating the non-human species, (i.e. Aries
for Ram, Taurus for ox, Leo for Lion etc.) should be predicted.
Otherwise, birth should be predicted that of a biped "human be"'8 Ifthe malefics arc powerful, benefics are without power of

in the quadrant, ascendent or aspecting the ascendent but. if the
Moon is not in the Dwadashamsha indicating non-human hinlv.then
the birth of human being (biped) should be predicted.

and occupy Navamamsha of their enemies and. if the ascendent

sign is non-human and ifthe lords of the Dwadashamsha of the
Moon and ascendent are non-human, then the birth should be declared as non-human.
II2II
Limbs of Birds and Beasts

In the case of bodies ofthe beasts the sign Aries represents

the head. Taurus mouth and neck, Gemini two front feet and shoulders. Cancer abdomen and back, Leo chest. Virgo ribs. Libra the
base ofthe tail, Scorpio is rectum, Sagittarius the backside feet,
Capricorn the generative organ and testicles, Aquarius buttocks,
and Pisces the tail proper.
11311
Commentary ;- In case of birds two wings should be considered,
as if two front feet of beasts. The signs as mentioned above
represent the parts of body and their strength or weakness or deteriorai ion should be considered according to the strength ofthe signs
representing them like human being.
Colour of Beast Born.

The colour ofthe bird or beast should be ascertained on the basis of

the planet in the ascendent or the planet aspecting the ascendent or
the lord ofthe Navamamsha of the ascendent, if many planets arc
aspecting the ascendent, many colours should be determined, the
strongest among them determines the main colour. The planet in
the 7th house determines the colour of the lines on the back. If
there are many planets in the 7th house, the colour should be determined on the basis of the strongest planet amongst them and
in respect of other planets, colours should be determined

28

Hora Makarand

on the basis of the colours represented by planets. //4//

Commentary The colour of the bird or beast should be determined on the basis ofthe planets in the ascendent. In case there is
no planet in the ascendent it should be predicted on the basis ofthe
planets aspecting the ascendent and in case there is no aspect of
any planet on the ascendent the colour of thebirds and beasts should
be determined according to the Navamamsha in the ascendent.
The Colours of Planets;-The Sun and Mars represent red colour,
Moon-white, Mercury-grey, Jupiter-yellow, Venus-mixed colour and
Saturn-black.
It is mentioned in 'Saravali' that the planets, if occupy their own
signs with the Navamamsha of other planet or occupy sign of author planet but Navamamsha of its own sign, are able to produce
their colours.
Birth of Birds

If in the birth chart, there is the ascendent with the Navamamsha

of movable sign and "bird decanate" or there is a powerful planet in
the ascendent in the Gemini or Virgo Navamamsha and in any of
the Yogas, Saturn, either occupies the ascendent or aspects it, a
birth
of
abird
takes
place.
11511
Note:-" Bird decanates are 2nd and 3rd decanates of Libra, 1st
decanate of Leo and 1st decanate of Aquarius. In some books
instead of 3rd decanate of Libra, 2nd decanate of Gemini is mentioned as bird decanate.
Commentary ;(1) If the above mentioned "bird decanates" are occupied by Saturn or aspected by Saturn, a birth of abird on the earth should be
predicted while if it is occupied by Moon or aspected by Moon, a
birth of a watery bird should be predicted.
(2) If any powerful planet occupies ascendent with movable
Navamamsha and is with the Saturn or is aspected by Saturn, a

Non-Human Births

29

birth of abird on earth should be predicted.

(3) If any powerful planet occupies ascendent with Navamamsha
owned by Mercury (i.e Gemini or Virgo) and is with Saturn or is
aspected by Saturn, a birth of a bird on earth should be predicted
and is with Moon or aspected by Moon, a birth of watery bird
should be predicted.
Note
It is necessary to note that the whole thing is subject to the
basic conditions specified in the first two stanzas of this chapter
regarding strength of malefics and the debility of benefics etc.)
Birth of Trees

The trees on the land and the trees aside the watery places
are the two types oftrees. The watery signs are Cancer, second
half of Capricorn and Pisces. (Scorpio and Aquarius are related to
water i.e. Jalashrayee signs). The remaining signs are connected
to earth If the ascendent, Moon, Sun and Jupiter are weak a birth
ofatree may be predicted. The trees will belong to the land orto
the watery region depending on whether in the ascendent the
navamamsha rising belongs to sign denoting land orto one denoting
water. The number oftrees will be determined by the number of
houses the lord of theNavamamsha m the ascendent is away from
the ascendent
1161. /
Types of Trees

It the lord of theNavamamsha in ascendent is Sun the tree is of a

type that is strong in core such as black wood tree etc. 1! it is in the
Moon, the tree is full of juice like sugar-cane or a soft wood tree
like Dcvadartl (species of pine) etc Ifit is Mars, the tree will be

30
thorny one like Babul Khaironreesuiili hirtaste like Necm. It
it is Mercury, it would represent frees that bear no fruits. If it is
Jupiter, it would represent trees like Mangoes. ] Fit is Venus, it would
represent trees giving (lowers w iih fragrance like Lily. If it is Saturn, it is of most inferior type tree.
HIII
Trees and Their Soil

1 ("the lord of the Navamamsha in the ascendent is a benefic planet

but placed in a malefic sign, it denotes the growth of a beautiful
trees in a bad soil, lion the other hand the said lord is a malcllc
planet and occupies a good sign it denotes a growth of abad tree in
a good soil. Nttturally,the malefic planets, if are in malefic signs,
will produce bad trees. The number of Navamamshas intervening
between the said lord's own Navamamsha and that occupied by
him determine the numbers of types of trees produced. //8//
Thus ends the Third chapter on Non-human Birth in Hora Makarand
composed by Gunakar.

CHAPTER IV
ON CONCEPTION ETC

Mars and Monn are the cause fix bringing about monthly course in
women. When in the ease of women, if Moon occupies Apachaya
houses (i.e. I st,2nd 4th.5th. 7th, 8th. 9th and 12th) from her natal
Moon and is aspected by Mars in transit the period of menses starts
and she becomes capable of conceiving, olherw ise the menses are
considered fruitless.
In such a case, if the husband has a Moon in his Upachaya houses
(i.e. 3rd. 6th. 1 Oth and 11 th) from his natal Moon and is aspected by
Jupiter, the union ofa husband and wife brings about a pregnancy.
I f. how ever, the Moon is not aspected by any planet then union will
not take place.
/////
Commentary Ladies get menses after 12 years of age. The
above principle will be applicable after that age only. This principles should not be applied to children, old persons, persons with
diseases (stcrllejniptcnt) etc.
Moon is a watery planet and Mars is a fieiy planet. Due to their
aspects (Mare aspect on Moon) the bile in the blood of ladies gets
motion and the ladies net menses everv month.

Manner ot Cohabitation

IftheMoon is aspected by Mars, the cohabitation will be w ith

a shrewd man; if aspected by Sun, it will be with a servant of a king
(Rajashrita); if aspected by Saturn itwill be with a disadvantageous
servant and if aspected by all malefics the woman becomes prostitute. 11211
Commentary At the time when a woman gels menses first, if in
her horoscope in the Apachaya house (i.e. lst,2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th,
8th, 9th and 12th)from her natal Moon, the transit Moon is aspected
by Mars, the woman should be considered suitable for pregnancy.
If the planetary position is not as mentioned above and if at menses
period Moon is in the 3rd, 6th, 1 Oth and 11 th houses from the natal
Moon, the woman is not likely to get pregnancy.
At the time of cohabitation after the menstrual period ofa woman
is over, if in the hososcope ofaman the transit Moon is in the 3rd,
6th, 1 Oth or 11 th house from the natal Moon, aspected by Jupiter,
the woman would cohabit with her husband. If aspected by Mars
she would cohabit with a shrewd person; if aspect by Sun, she
would cohabit with a servant ofaking and if aspected by Saturn,
she would cohabit with unreliable servant. If all the malefics Sun,
Mars and Saturn aspect the Moon the woman would become a
prostitute. This prediction is in respect ofthe first menstruation of
a woman and in a very rare cases it can operate in subsequent
period in life, since this is mainly in respect of first menses ofa
woman.

The nature of the sign in the 7th house at the time ot cohabitation
indicate the nature of a man. I f the sign (in the 7th house} is occupied oraspected by malefics the cohabitation will he in quarrelsome mood. Ifthe 7th house is associated with or aspected by
benefic planets at the time of cohabitation it wiil be with pleasure
and jokes etc. and if, both malefic and benefic planets associate or
aspect the 7th house, the cohabitation will be with quarrel as well
as with pleasure.
II3II
Coinincntary :- The 7th sign from the ascendant at the time of
conception or birth or query indicate the mood at the time ofcohabitation. ifthe sign is occupied by malefic or aspected by malefic
planet cohabitation is quarrelsome, if it is with benefic or aspected
by benefic planets it is with pleasure and jokes and if it is with both
benefic and malefic or aspected by both benefic and malefic planets the mood at the time of cohabitation will be mixed i.e. with
quarrel and pleasure.
Possibility of Pregnancy.

Ifthe Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars are located in their own
Mavamamsha in the Upachaya houses (i.e. 3rd, 6th, 1 Olh or 11 th)
from the natal Moon of a man or a woman or if Jupiter is in
the ascendant or 5th house or 9th house, the pregnancy is predicted.
HAH
Commentary :- In any of the twelve houses in the horoscope at
the lime of cohabitation if. Sun, Venus, Moon and Mars are located in their own Navamamsha in the Upachaya houses from the
natal Moon of a man or woman, the pregnancy docs take place.
Not only this but even only Sun and Venus also arc in their own
Navamamsha, the pregnancy takes place. I fat the time of cohabitation there is no possibility of the planetary position mentioned above.

the Jupiter in the ascendant. 5th house or 9th nouse denotes the
possibility ofprognancy.
Why No possibility of pregnancy

The above mentioned planetary positions are of course of no avail

to impotent people just like a mirror to a blind man. II5II

Mars are located, a man suffers from disease and if Saturn and
Mars are in the 7th house from the Moon, a woman suffers form
disease. ifMnrsand Saturn are located In the 2nd and i2tli houses
from the Sun, they denote a death of a man and if Saturn and Mars
are located in the 2nd and 12th houses, from the Moon, they denote a death ofa woman. Similarly if. one ofthe planets (i.e.
Saturn and Mars) is located with the Sun and the other aspects the
Sun, it denotes a death of a man and if one of these Planets (i.e.
Saturn and Mars) is located with Moon and the other aspects the
Moon, it denotes death ofawoman.

conception, if there are malefics (in their last degree just about to
enter the ascendant) in front of (i.e. Sammukh) ascendant at
conception which is without any aspect of benefic planets but
aspected by waneing Moon (in the Krishna Pakslia) or Mars and
is occupied by Saturn, the pregnant woman dies.

dant are not aspected by any benefic planet, death takes place of
the Woman conceiving along with the embryo.
11]()//
Example Suppose a woman conceived in Aries ascendant and
sign Pisces is occupied by Saturn and Mars while Rahu occupies
Taurus, the sign Aries is hemmed between malefics (Papkartari);
Similarly if Moon is in the Gemini and Sun in the sign cancer, the
Moon and the ascendant are hemmed between two malefics and,
therefore, the woman conceived will die along with theembryo.
3rd Yoga for Woman's Death

I f at the time of birth malefic planets occupy the 4th house either
from Moon or from ascendant and the Mars in each case is located
in the 8th house or if Mars and the Sun occupy the 4th and the 12th
houses respectively and the Moon is weak, in all those three yogas,
the woman loses her life and the pregnancy.

Death Due To Instrument.

If the ascendant and the 7th house are occupied by Mars and
Sun respectively at the time of conception, the death of thewoman
takes place as a result of injury and pain due to a stroke from
instrument.

Development of Embryo and Lords of Months

At the time of conception i.e. in the first month the nature of embryo is a mixure of seminal fluid and blood. In the second month
(this mixture), it gets solidity. In the 3rd month, it gets hands and

Hora Makarand

38

feet. In the tourth month, the bones are created. In the fifth month,
it gets skin, and in the sixth hair, in the seventh month, it gets movement and memory. In this process the embryo develops.
The lord in the first month of embryo is Venus, the second month is
Mars, the third month is Jupiter, the fourth month is Sun. the fifth
month is Moon, the sixth month is Saturn and the seventh month is
Mercury. These are the lords of the seven months from conception. II] 3//
Nourishment and Deterioration of Embryo

Ifthelord ofthe month from conception is powerful and is in exaltation, the embryo gets nourishment in that month and if the lord of
the month if afflicted by malefic, or is in debilitation or is hemmed
between two malefics or is combust, it results in abortion. II\AII
Commentary :- The lords are assigned to each month from conception. Ifthelord ofthe concerned month is afllictcd.the abortion
is likely in that month. If all the lords are powerful, the embryo get
proper nourishment.
Example :- Suppose a woman gets pregnancy on Capricorn ascendant on lOthday in the waxing fortnight in "Chaitra" month.

.JIWI
Birth of Male and Female

I n the horoscope, if any strong male planet occupies quardrant

and nis own Navamamsha and own Varga signs or sign of exaltation and is aspected by a male planet, the birth would be ofa male
and, female planet aspected by female planet the birth would be of
a female. Similarly, in the absence of above situation, if Saturn
occupies odd signs in the horoscope except ascendant, the birth
would be ofamale. Accordingly, on the basis ofthe strength of the

planets, the decision of a male or female child should be amved at.

In other yogas the birth would be that of eunuch. //19,20.21//
Eunuch

The following are the six yogas for the birth of eunuch

6) If Venus, ascendant and Moon occupy maleNavamamsha.//22'/
Commentary In Ayurveda they have given six eunuch yogas.
In astrology the indication ofenunch yogas mentioned above may
be considered properly according to the strength of planet and if it
is found that in the above eunuch yogas, there is a mixed bhava
(Substance) then it would be a male or a female and when there is
absence of such male and female yogas then only these six yogas
may be considered.
Note The first yoga can be only by aspect of Sun and Moon.
Moon in the even sign will not aspect Sun in the odd sign.
Multiple Births (two)

Births of twins are on the following three yogas

consideration, a decision about births of male, female, enunchs, twins,
three children may be arrived at.
Abnormal

Development

I f Mercury is strong in the 5th or 9th house and the remaining

planets are weak, the child bom will have more hands, feet, faces
etc. (i.e. two heads, four hands, four feet etc.) or the parts have
abnormal developments.
II26II
Dumb etc.

It Moon is in Taurus and aspecting malefic planets, occupy the

Sandhi (thelast Navamamsha of Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) the
native loses speech. If there is good aspect also on the Moon, he
picks up speech after much time.
1121 If
Blindness etc.

In the Leo ascendant, if there are Sun and Moon aspected by Saturn and Mars, the person bom is blind. I fin such a case there is
influcnceonthe ascendant of both benefic and malefic planets, the
eyes arc small and some what as closed. If Moon is in the 12th
house, aspected by malefics, it causes loss of lefteye. 1 f the Sun is
in the 12tli house, aspected by malefic, it causes loss of right
eye.
//28//
Commentary;- If the Sun or the Moonin the sign Leo is aspected
by Saturn or Mars the nght eye and left eye in order is squint.

44

Hora Makarand

Similarly, Sun and Moon are aspected by both oenefics ana maietics
Hie right eye and left eye in order, become contracted or half closed.
The above yogas of dumbness, blindness and squint eye etc. will
not affect the native completely if the concerned planets are
aspected by benefic planets.
Birth with Teeth or Hunch Backed etc.

When in the chart, Mars and Saturn occupy the sign of Mercury or occupy Navamamsha of Mercury, the child born will have
teeth from the very birth. If Moon occupies Cancer in the ascendant and is aspected by both Mars and Saturn, one becomes hunch
backed.
H19II
Lame and Deaf

if Pisces Ascendant is occupied by Moon and aspected by

Saturn, Mars and Sun, the native becomes lame or crippled, and if
Moon occupies last degrees of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces signs
(Sandhi Rashi) and their Navamamsha along with malefics and is
not aspected by benefics, the native becomes deaf.
II30II
Short and Without Head and Feet.

In Capricorn ascendant, if last Navamamsha (Virgo) is aspected

by Saturn, Moon and Sun, the native is dwarf sized, and ifth3three
decanates of the ascendant are associated with malefics, the
native will be devoid of arms-feet or head. //3MI

The inauspicious results of the malefics become less effective to

the native, if they arc aspected by benefics and the benefics give

On Conception etc.

M auspicious results. The native gets mixed results in the yogas

of
both
benefics
with
malefics.
//32//
Time of Delivery

It is said that the ascendant at birth will be 7th or 1 (Jth firm that
which was at the time of conception. This view, however, has not
been accepted by all.
The number of Dwadashamsha sign present in the longitude of
Moon at the time of conception will give the sign in which Moon
will be at the time of birth in the I ()lh month from the month of
conception.
//33//
Abnormally Delayed Birth

The Navamamsha oftheday, night or both day and night (i.e.

Sandhi) at the time of the conception, indicates the Navamamsha
ofthe day, mght or both day and night Sandhi ofthe delivery time
as it is the same Navamamsha.
I f the ascendant, at the time of conception, is in the Navamamsha
of Saturn and if Saturn is in the 7th house, the dehvery will be after
3 years.
//34//
Delivery after 12 years

If the Moon, at the time of conception, is in the ascendant in the

Navamamsha of Saturn and Saturn is in the 7th house, the delivery
will be after 12 years.

Direction of Delivery etc.

If the sign of ascendant at the time of conception is one

may change as oil for lamp in that case is not required.
Caste and Appearance of Child

The body ofthechild born will have the Characteristics of

the planet, who is the lord of the Navamamsha of the ascendant, or
it would be like the strongest planet in the ascendant. The lord of
the Navamamsha ofthe sign occupied by Moon indicates the colour
of the body. This should be, however, considered on the basis of
the race, caste and the country in which the birth takes
place.

while those born in Karnataka are blakish in colour. This aspect
should be considered before predicting colour of child.

CHAPTER VI
FACTORS OF SPAN OF LIFE

The classification of span of life has been made by the old sages in
two diffeient categories. The first one is YOGODBHAV i.e. due
to the different types of yogas and the second in AN1YAT i.e.
which is unsettled. The first one is divided Into four different sub
categories while the second one is divided into five different sub
categories.
//I//

(I )Rishta (without calamity), (2) Param (Maximum) (3) Niyat

(fixed) (4) Amit (that cannot be measured) arc the four sub categories of Yogodbhav type and (I )Pind. (2) Amshaja (3) Nisarga
(4) Saptamsha and (5) Mishra are the five sub categories of Arayat
type. //2//

I f in a Horoscope, Sun is strong, he gives Pindayu; if theascendant

is strong it gives Amshajayu; if Moon is strong, he gives Nisargayu.
if Sun. Moon and ascendant all the three are without strength, they
give Saptamshayu. These are the types of span of live they
1
give.

If (1 )the Sun, Moon and the lord of the sign occupied by Moon and
(2) Sun. Moon and the lord of the sign occupied by Sun and (3)
Ascendant, (all the three) have equal strength they indicate mixed
span of life. There are 12 such different types of Yogas in sequence.
I/A/I

If waning Moon (within 72 degree from Sun) is in the ascendant

and in the signs other than Aries, Taurus and Cancer and is aspected
by malefic planets, the child born is without span of life.

Ina Horoscope, ifthe Moon is in anyofthe houses viz. 1st, 5th,

7th, 8th, 9th and 12th and is with malefic planets and is not with
strong Mercury, Jupiter or Venus or aspected by them, the child
dies. 1161!

The child dies if in a Horoscope, ifthe waning Moon (i.e.

within 72 degrees from Sun) is in the ascendant and the malefic
planets occupy the quadrants and the 8th house.
117/1

Ifthe child is bom at sunset (or Sunrise or midday) and (he

ascendant is in the Hora of Moon and all the malefic planets are in
their last Navamamsha, the child is Alpayu (short life). Similarly, if
the Moon occupies quadrant along with malefic planet and each
quadrant is occupied by malefic planet, the child dies.

I lor a MaKarana

The child dies immediately, if malefic planets are in the ascendant,

7th house, 8th house and the Moon is located in the 12th house
(according to Saravali, Moon should be Ksheen i.e. within 72 degrees from Sun) and there are no benefic planets in the quadrants.
Similarly, the child dies, if the ascendant, 12thhouse, 9th house and
8th house are occupied by Saturn, Sun, Mars and Moon respectively and are not aspected by Jupiter.
//14//
Commentary:- According to Saravali the Moon in the 1st yoga
should be ksheen. Secondly, these are two different Yogas and
therefore, arc mentioned accordingly.

The child dies if, in a Horoscope, in the 5th, 9th and 8th houses
strong malefic planets are present and are without any aspect from
benefic planets and the ascendant is occupied by either by Sun or
Moon.
//15//

The child dies along with his mother, if the 7th and 8th houses arc
occupied by malefic planets and also are aspected by malefic planets. It the malefic planets are aspected by benefic planets, the
child is a sickly child from the birth.

The child dies along with his mother, if Moon is eclipsed at the time
of birth and the ascendant is with malefic planet and the Mars is in

Commentary According to Jatak Panjat both mother and child

die due to weapon.
ffSun is in the 1 Oh house atthe time of birth, in the sign Aries
or Scorpio or Capricorn or Aquarius and is aspected by malefic
planet, it indicates death ofa native.
//IB//

In the case of Aristha Yogas, where period of death is not predicted, the death may be at the time of next transit of Moon in the
same sign. Or when any strong malefic planet transits the ascendant duly aspected by malefic planet, it would cause death, within a
period
of
one
year.
II] 9//

It Moon is either in the 6th house or in the 8th house atthe time of
birth duly aspected by malefic planet it causes immediate death of
a child. Ifthe Moon in the position slated above is aspected purely
by benefic planets, with equal strength the child dies atthe age of
8 years and the same Moon if is aspected by the benefic and
malefic planets of equal strength, the child will die at the age of4
years. In case the strength of the planets aspecting is different, the
period may be finalised by calculation after considering their
strengths.
//20//

If at the time of birth, the benefic planets are in the 6th and 8th
houses aspected by retrograde malefic planets and are not aspected
by benefic planets, the child will die within one month.

Ifalthetime of birth, Moon is in the quadrants in Amavasya Yoga

(i.e. in conjunction with Sun), aspected by Saturn and Mars, the
child dies w ithintwo years; and the same Moon along with the lord
of the ascendant if is In 8th house without aspect of any benefic
planets and with the aspect ofaii malefic planets, the child would
die within 3 years.
//22//

At the time of birth, if Sun. Moon and Mars are with Saturn. Jupiter
and Venus respectively in each house together, the child dies at the
age ol"5 years.
1123/1

The death takes place in the months indicated by the lord ofthe
decanate of the ascendant, if placed in the sign of his enemy. Similarly, it the lord ofthe Navamamsha rising in his ascendant and lord
ofthe ascendant are placed in the sign of their enemies, the child
dies within the months indicated by them.
//24//
Commentary This Yoga is in respect of the decanate and
Navamamsha rising in the ascendant. In Phaladeepika, the Yoga
given in respect of decanate and Navamamsha in Chapter XV11/2
and 3 is different which is as follows:
'Ascertain the Rashiand Navamamsha occupied by {l)the Lord
ofthe8th house (i.e.64th Navamamsha), (2) Gulika. (3) Saturn or
(4) Lord of 22nd decanate (counted from the ascendant). When
Saturn transists that Rasi or Navamamsha or trangular position,
death may take place.
Find out the lord ofthe decanate that is rising and also the lord of
the 8th house and that of the 22nd decanate. When Jupiter transits
the Rasi or Amsha occupied by any of these three planets or its
trangular position, death may take place."

SPAN OF LIFE

For the purpose of life span, the Pindayu years ofthe Planets ate
19years.25 years. ISyears, 12years, 15 years,21 years and20
years in respect of planets viz. Sun, Moon Mars, Mercury, Jupiter,
Venus and Saturn respectively. Full years may be taken, if the
planet is in deep exaltation and if the planet is in extreme debilitation half of the years may be taken.
If the planet is neither in deep exaltation nor in extreme debilitation
and is in between, the years may be calculated proportionately and
the Pindayu years of the planet may be arrived at. //I//

For the purpose of life span. Nisargayu years of theplanets are 20

years. 1 year. 2 years. 9 years. 18 years. 20 years, and 50 years in
respect of theplanets viz. Sun. Moon. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn respectively, as told by the scholars.

The Plndayurdaya should De calculated as follows

First take the sign. Amsha. Kala and Vikaia oriheconcerned planet.
Then deduct the degrees of deep exaltation from it. If the remainder is less than 6 signs, it may again be deducted from 12 signs and
then be converted into Kalas. (In case the remainder is morethan
6 signs it may be converted into Kalas). Thereafter, multiply it by
the years of Pindayu and then devide it by 21600. (i.e. 12 signs x 30
degree x 60 Kaias = 21600). This will give Pindayu. Inthesame
way, Pindayu of each planet should be calculated and the total of it
will give the life span.
II3II

If themalefic planets are located in the 12th, 11 th 1 0th, 9th, 8th and
7th houses, the years of Pindayu being given by the concerned

(1) Full years for the planet in the 12th house,
(2)i.rd years for the planet in the 1 1th house,
(3) j-rd years for the planets in the 10th house,
(4) 1 th years for the planets in the 9th house,
4
(5)4-th years for the planets in the 8th house
(6)-^"th years for the planets in the 7th house.
Similarly, ifthe benefic planets are located in these houses, the
years to be reduced are \I2., 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, l/IOand 1/12 respectively, from the Pindayu.
In case any one of these six houses is occupied by two or more
than two planets, these malefics or benefics, only one of them, who
is the strongest, will lose years as malefic or benefic. This is the
opinion of Satyacharya. Similarly, Manittha Daivadnya has opined
to take mixed life span.

Mofthe life is to be reduced ifthe planets, other than Saturn and

Venus, are combust.
The method of calculation of span of life is the same in respect of
Lagnayurdaya. Pindayurdaya. Saptamshayurdaya and
Naisargikayurdaya.
//5/ /

!fiord oftheNavamamsha in the ascendant is strong, the life span

will be according to the years of Navamamsha. Similarly, ifthe
planet is in hisown house the lifespanwill be according tothesaid
sign.- Ifthe planet is in other house the period may be arrived at by
way of calculation.
In the case of Lagnayurdaya if the planet is retrograte or in the
enemy's house he reduces l/3oftheyears he is to give.
II6II

tfthe ascendant is occupied by a malefic planet, convert the ascendant into Kalas, multiply it by the years ofthe planet and then divide
the result by 21600. This result is to be deducted from the Pinda
years. In case the malefic planet in the ascendant is aspected by
the benefic planet then the half the result is to be deducted from
the Pindayu ofthe planet. This, however, is to be done in respect of
Nisargayu, Pindayu and Saptamsha-yurdaya. (It should not be done
m
case
of
Anshayrdaya.)
//?//

When Anshayu of a planet is to be considered, multiply the said

Anshaoflheplanet by 3 and devide it by 10. Convert the remainder into years, months, and days and ghatikas. If the years are

more than 12 years dcvidcthem by 2 and the result is the Anshayu

of the planet.
//8//

In case where Anshayu is to be calculated, if the planet is in

retrogration or in the sign of exaltation, the life should be tripled.
Similarly, If the said planet is in Vargottam Navamamsha or in his
own sign or decanate, the years of life are to be doubled. This Is
the view of Satyacharya. According to Varahamihir, when the planet
is retrograte, in the sign of exaltation, in his own sign, Navamamsha
or decanate, the years are required to be doubled or tripled but
instead it should be tripled because bigger multiplier is required to
be taken.
//9/i

According to Jeeva Shamia, the deep exaltation degrees ofapianet

should be deducted from the sign and degrees of the planet. Ifthe
remainder is less than 6 signs, it should be deducted again from 12
signs. Then the result should be multipled by 8641 and dcvided by
504. Then the life in days is the result which may be converted into
years.

The following are the opinions about types of calculation ot life

(1) According to Yavanaeharya. it is of 12 types :
(2) According to Manittha, it is of lOtypes :

RULING AND SUB-RULING
PERIODS

The first ruling period in the Dasha system is that of cither ascendant or Moon or Sun who ever is the strongest amongst the three.
The next in order will be that of the planets in the quadrant trom the
Dasha lord, then will come the Dasha oftheplanets in the Panaphar
houses from the Dasha lord and then of the planets placed in the
Aapocleem houses from the Dasha lord. This is the order in this
Dasha system
In case there is no planet in the quadrant from the Ascendant or
Moon or Sun as stated earlier (for deciding Dasha lord) the second
Dasha that of the planets placed in Aapocleem houses should be
taken.
//I//
Dasha of Planet to be taken according to the calculated years only.

The lite span of the Dasha lords should be arrived at after

calculation, because the planets give their results in their Dasha
only.

Ruling and Sub-Ruling Periods

How to decide first Dasha among equally meritted planets?

If in the quadrants etc. two or more than two planets are located,
the Dasha of the strong planet should be taken first; and in case
where the planets are ofequal merits the planet who has contributed greatest number of years to life will have the dasha first. When
the planets are of equal merits in both these createria, the one who
has risen first will have the precedence in the matter.
//3//
Antradasha

The planet located with the Dasha lord takes away half of the
period of theDasha lord as its sub period. A planet in the 5th or the
9th house from the Dasha lord has 1/3 rd oftheperiod of Dasha as
its sub period. A planet in the 7th house from the Dasha lord has
l/7th ofthe period of Dasha lord as its sub-period. A planet in the
4th or the 8th house from the Dasha lord has 1/4 th ofthe Dasha
lord's period as its sub-period. Thus the planets including the Ascendant lord have their sub-periods.
HAH

The strong planet alone gives the results of Aantar Dasha (i.e.
results of sub-period) when more than one planets are located in
one house,
1151/
How to calculate Sub-Periods '

Having determined the fractions of the main ruling period for the
various planets located in the houses enum-;rated with reference

followed by the sub-periods in order as mentioned above arc

should be in the order of Dasha as mentioned in lirst stanza arc
taken.
HIH
Commentary :- The order of sub-periods will be as follows. The
first the Dasha will be of its lord, then the one with it; next, the one
in the 5th or 9th from it, then the one in the 7th from it and the last
one will be oflhcplanet in the 4th or 8th from the Dasha lord.
Ilencficor Malefic Dashas

The planets in exaltation, in his own sign, in his own Navamamsha,

in his friend's house or in the Navamamsha of his friend are strong
and give good results in their Dashas. Similarly, the planets mentioned above if are aspecfed by benefic planets or arc with benefic
planets also give good results in their Dasha. In case they arc in
other houses or with malefic planets or aspected by malefic planets they give adverse results.

Special Name ofDashas.

In the movable sign of ascendant, the Dasha of ascendant in the

first decanate is Pujya (best), in the second decanate it is Sama
(medium) and in the third decanate it is Heephala (worst). If the
ascendant is mutable, the Dasha of the ascendant in the 1 st decanate
will be Heephala (worst), in the 2nd it will be Sama (medium) and
in the 3rd it will be Pujya (best). In the case of thefixed sign in the
ascendant, Dasha in the 1st decanate will be Adhama (worst) in
the 2nd decanate it will be Pujya (best) and in the 3rd decanate it
will be Sama-Madhyama(medium).
Some are of the opinion that in case of mutable sign in the ascendant, the results of the entire Dasha of the ascendant should be
considered as bad.
//10//
Results ofDasha according to names

A planet located in a position of his point of deep exaltation and that

of extreme debilitation is termed as Avarohini and if the lord of the
Dasha is m his friend's house or in exaltation or in his own
Navamamsha, it is Madhyama. In case the lord of Dasha is located in between the extreme debilitation and the deep exaltation,
the Dasha is named as Arohini (mounting up) and in case the lord
of theDasha is in the Navamamsha of his enemy or in his extreme
debilitation, the Dasha is named as Adhama.

The Dasha results ofaplanet that is strong (by exaltation, or by

occupation of Mooltrikon sign or his own sign or a friendly sign) but
who occupies a Navamamsha that is its debilitation Navamamsha
or one belonging to its enemy, give mixed results i.e. both good and
bad results (i.e. Madddhyama). Similarly, if the planet is completely
without strength the Dasha is called Rikta means which takes away
everything from the native. Planets which arc strong (by house and
sign position etc.) and are located in the Navamamsha in their exaltation sign, give good results to the fullest extent within Dasha.
Planets occupying inimical sign and inimical or debilitation
Navamamsha, give adverse results.

Deciding good or bad results on the basis of location of Moon at the
time of beginning of Dasha.

If at the start of any (sub-period) Dasha, Moon is located in the

sign Cancer, the Sub-period will be conducive to honour, wealth
and comforts. IfMoon occupies the signs Aries or Scorpio, it indicates some flaw in the nature of his wife. If Moon occupies the
sign of Gemini or Virgo, it indicates acquisition of mixed education,
and wealth. If it is sign Leo, it indicates the operation in forests
Jungles. If it is sign Taurus or Libra it indicates gain of grains from
agriculture. If It is in sign Capricorn or Acquarlus, it gives a bad

How Planets affect limbs?

The element fire is related to appearance and concerns eyes. Therefore, events related to eye sights will be in the Dasha of Mars or
Sun. The element Earth is related to smell and it is experienced
through nose, the planet involved is Mercury. Hence, when there is
usual contacts with good or bad smells, it should be understood that
the Dasha or sub-period of Mercury is running. The element of
sky is related to the hearing and when the disease relating to cars is
experienced, the Dasha or sub-period of Jupiter is deemed to be in
operation. The element of water is related to the taste which has
relevance to tongue (Mukha). During the period of having enjoyment of unusually good or bad food the Dasha of Moon or Venus
should be considered. The element of Air is related to the sense of
touch concerned with our skin. When events concerning disease of
skin or soft touch arc in evidence, it should be understood that the
Dasha or sub-period of Saturn is in operation. Thus if the lords out
of the five elements, are strong, they give good results in respect of
conditions related to that planet and if are weak, they create problems.//28//

The sign in w hichthe Moon is located at the time of birth or quary

is called Janma Rashi (i.e. Moon sign.) The signs which are occupied by the planets and the ascendant do give their results. Similarly, the sign in the ascendant also gives results. The human being
t here fore, gets good or bad results from 8 signs (i.e. 7 houses
occupied by 7 planets from Sun to Saturn and the ascendant) and
the good or bad results arc known to the native (through this
Astakavarga System)

a fact that the sign of ascendant is the base ofthe horoscope. It
has its own importance in this system Therefore, for prcdicition
along with the Vargas of? planets, the 8th Varga ofthe ascendant
is also considered.

In this way, the charts should be prepared and vertical lines should
be drawn in the square giving good results in the houses menhoned
above. The places not mentioned are bad forthe concerned planet
After taking into consideration the good and the bad results rendered by the planet, the decision be arrived at and the prediction
either good or bad are made accordingly. If good effects are more,
they give good results and if bad effects are more, the prediction of
transit are made accordingly.
The planets in their own or friendly signs, signs in Upachaya houses
(3.6,10,11), in Mooltrikona signs of exaltation, give good results,
while the planets in their debilitation signs or in inimical signs, give
bad results.

Inthe above manner, the old sages have given guidelines for prediction of good or bad results and the basis of the calculation of
strength of planets according to their position as exaltation
etc.
//m
The Sun and Mars in transit give good results immediately, the Jupiter and Venus give results in the middle period of transit, and the
Moon and Saturn give good results in the last portion of transit.
The Mercury gives results in the entire period of transit. //14//
The Sun is the ruler of head and face, the Moon is the ruler of
throat and Heart, the Mars is the ruler of chest and back side,
Mercury is the ruler of all joints and fingers, Jupiter is the ruler of
waist and thighs, the Venus is the ruler of genital organs and testicles and Saturn is the ruler of anus, lithe lords of the limbs as
mentioned above in the natal chart are occupying bad houses and
also re afflicted, there exists some trouble to the limbs and if they
arc occupying good houses and with benefic aspects etc., they give
good results, in the same way, the results may be assessed at the
time
of
query
and
for travel.
//I5,I6J7//
Commentary: The utility of Astakvarga system is important for
assessment of strength of planets and houses for the purpose of
predicting or anticipating important events of lifeand forecasting
the results in transit. This system is a part of predictive astrology
and has been given in almost ail important old books including
Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra. Itis a fact that in Gocharsystem,
the transit results are obtained with the help of thcsign occupied by
the Moon. Itis, however, a fact that in that case the ascendant is
altogether ignored. Thus the Gocharsystem is incomplete forob-

Astakavarga

raining results. It is also a fact that the horoscopes at birth should be

considered along with those with Moon and Sun horoscopes as
mentioned in Sudarshan Chakra system. In this system however,
the strength of all the planets is considered.
In this Astakavarga System 8 charts are required to be drawn i.e.,
7 charts of 7 planets as mentioned in stanzas from 4 to 10 above
and the chart of the Ascendant as shown above which is required
to be added (as mentioned in Brihat Parashar Hora ShastraPart II
Chapter 1, Stanzas 65 to 71),
In South Indian System they use "O'tDot orBindu) while in the
North Indian System including Gunakar 1 'i.e. vertical lines are
used for showing the good results of the planet in the respective
square of Astakavarga.
The maximum Rekhas in one house can be only 8 i.e. 7 of 7 planets
and the 8th is that of the ascendant. The planet while in transit
gives results according to the number of Rekhas obtained by him in
his Bhinnastakavarga. Ifthere is a Rekha in that house of the
planet in transit and at the same time, in the 5th and the 9th houses
from the ascendant there are more than 5 Rekhas in each of them
and there is also a Rekha of the lord of thesign and a karaka or the
signs of his friends or bosom friends, the percentage of good results
increase accordingly. For good results each house must have 5 or
more Rekhas.
The Lagnastakavarga is useful in finding out the favourable time.
There arc 1 ZLagnas (Rising signs) in a day. The auspicious time
can be found out with the help of that Lagnastakavarga Table. If
there are 5 or more than 5 Rekhas at the time when the sign rises
in the east, it gives good results if selected for performance of
event. This is useful for deciding the time of travel also.
This system was very common in the past and is included in almost
all old books including Parashar Hora. Gochar predictions were
being made with the help of this system. In feet the Brahatjataka
and Saravali do not contain the System of Gochar but contains this
system of Astakavarga.
This is an independent system and for obtaining results (1)

NATURE OF PROFESSION

The planets in the i Oth house from the ascendant or from the Moon
indicate the person from whom the native gets income. IftheSun
is located in the 1 Oth house, he gets income from father; if it is
Moon he gets income from mother; if it is Mars, he gets income
from enemies; if it is Mercury, he gets income from friends; if it is
Jupiter, he gets income from brother; if it is Venus, begets income
from his wife; if it is Saturn, he gets income from servant.
The lords of Navamamshas in which the lords of the 1 Oth
house from ascendant, Moon and Sun arc located indicate the profession.
//!//

Ifthe aforesaid Navamamsha (i.e. of the lord of the 10th house

from ascendant, Moon and Sun) lord is Sun, the living will be from
grass, gold, wool and medicine, etc. ifthe said lord is Moon, the

mathematics, by reading Puranas, poems, dramas etc. or handicraft etc. If it is Jupiter, it will be by a profession of a priest or
worshipping gods etc. as a learned man, or mines ofjewels etc. If
it is Venus, it will be from co\s s. bulfaloes, the ornaments the utencils

Modes of Earning Livelihood.

The lord ofthe Navamamsha occupied bythe lord ofthe 1 Oth house
from the ascendant indicate the profession.
11311

1 f the planets (lord ofthe Navamamsha occupied by the lord of the

1 Oth house etc.) occupy friendly sign, or their own sign, or inimical
sing, the income will be from the persons indicated by them, and if
the Sun is strong or is in exaltation the native earns his livelihood
through his own efforts. Similarly, ifthe benefic planets occupy the
ascendant, 2nd house and the 1 1 th house, they are considered as
instrumental in giving income from different sources.
HAH
Fortune in Native Place or in Foreign Country.

The Oth house from the ascendant and the Moon is called Bhagya
Sthana (house indicating fortune). Ifthis house is occupied or

aspccicd by the lord of thesign. the native will have his tonune in
his birth country or place and if this house is occupied by other
planets or aspected by other planets, the native will have his fortune in the other countries/places other than his native place.
Ifthebenefic planets are in exaltation and the 9th house from Moon
Is occupied by strong planets, the native is a fortunate one and if
malefic planets are in debilitation and the 9th house from Moon is
occupied by powerless planets the native Is unfortunate and unlucky.
II5II
Commentary: Inthe Chapter IV ofManasagari on Bhagyodaya
Laxanam, it is stated that if the 9th house is occupied by Sun as its
lord, the fortune ^e will be22, if Moon, itwill be24, if Mars, itwill
be 28, ifMcrcuryJt will be32, ifJupiter, itwill be 16, ifVenus, itwill
be 25. and If it is Saturn, itwill be 36. {For blooming of fortune, the
planet should be in its own sign of 9th house).
Thus Ends the Thirteen Chapter in Nature of Profession in
Horamakarand composed by Gunakar Daivadnya.

RAJAYOGAS

32 Types ofRajayogas

IJ at the time of birth tour planets viz., Sun, Mars. Jupiter and Saturn are all in their signs of exaltation in quadrant they form four
types ofRajayogas and out of them, if any three planets arc in
exaltation and are in the quadrants from each other, they form
twelve Rajayogas. Thus in total there are 16Rajayogas. (According to Brihatjataka, one out of these four planets three-are in exaltation and one to be in the ascendant and the remaining planets may
be in other houses). Out of the above four planets, if any two of
them arc in exaltation and occupy quadrants and the Moon is located in the sign Cancer, twelve Rajayogas are formed and if out of
them one is in the ascendant or in the quadrant in exaltation and the
Moon is located in the sign Cancer, four types of Rajayogas are
formed. This makes the total 32 types q/'Raja-yogas. //I//
22 Rajayogas

If the ascendant or Moon is in Vargottamamsha and four planets

Rajayogas
other than Moon are aspecting them, they form 15 Rajayogas; if 5
planets are aspecting them they form 6 Rajayogas and if 6 planets
are aspecting them they form one Rajayoga. Thus they in total
form 22 Rajayogas.
IOJI
Commentary : The ascendant and the Moon form 22 Rajayogas
each which make the total of 44; and these 44 Rajayogas considering 12 ascendants and 12Moon signs form 528 Rajayogas.
8 Types of Rajayogas

(1) If Sun is in Aries,Moon in Taums and Saturn in Acquarius each

one form 3 Rajayogas for each ascendant; (i.e. one sign should be
ascendant).
(2) If Mercury is in Gemini sign. Mars in Scorpio and Jupiter in

manner in which he protects his capital.
HI611
Com men tary; In this yoga Sun is mentioned twice. It is stated
once in the 4th house and in the second time it is mentioned in the
3rd house. Mercury is mentioned to be in the 6th house. This situation is not possible as the maximum distance (Parain Inantara)
between Sun and Mercury is 28 degrees and therefore, Sun can he
either in the 5th house or 6th house or the 7th house. With Capricorn ascendant, the 4th house is Aries which is the sign of exaltation of Sun. Thus Mercury should be in the 5th house as the third
house will be Pisces which is the sign of debilitation tor Mercury.
So let us consider the position as Sun in the 4th house and Mercury
in the 5th house, which would be more appropnate.

A person bom with Mars in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, and Venus in

Pisces becomes a king. Similarly, if Aries sign is m the ascendant
occupied by Sun, Jupiter in the 11 th house, and Saturn and the Main
are in sign Libra at the time of birth, the person bom becomes a
king.

If at the time of birth, the lord of the ascendant is strong (in

Shadavarga) and is located in the ascendant and Venus. Mercury
and Jupiter are aspecting the full Moon, a king is bom.

Timing Of Rajayoga

The Rajayoga will be fruitful in the ruling and sub-ruling periods of

the planet situated in the J Qh house or the planet who is strong and
is in the ascendant or any other strong planet in the horoscope. 1 f
the planet effecting the Rajayoga happens to be in the inimical sign
(i .e. sign of bitter enemy) or in debilitation, his period or sub-period
will fetch no good results. The period is named as "Chhidra'7/31//
Cancellation of Rajayoga

According to Parashara if, at the time of birth neither the ascendant nor the Moon sign is aspected by any planet, the Rajayoga is
cancelled.
//'32//

If at the time of birth, all the planets are in the inimical signs, not in
the Vargoltamamsha and in the signs of debilitation and also
in the debilitation sign in Navamamsha. Rajayoga is cancelled.//33/

Commentary : The common heading "Nabhasa" yogas include
three main types of yogas which in all are 32 in numbers:
(1) Aakriti yogas which are 20 in number deal with the position of
planets in different houses;
(2) Ashraya yogas which are 5 in number deal with the position of
planets in different;
Signs and houses (as explained in Verse No. 25 in this chapter)
(3)Sankhya yogas which are 7 in number deal with the question of
the number of houses occupied by all the planets.

Aakriti yogas have been explained earlier. Now Sankhya yogas

are being stated;
When the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) occupy any seven houses one after the other,
'Veena' yoga is formed, if they occupy six houses one after the
other, 'Daamini'yoga is formed, if they occupy any five houses,
one after the other, they form 'Paasha" yoga, if they occupy any
four houses one after the other they form 'Kedar' yoga; if they

i2s

occupy any three houses one after the other they form Shool'
yoga; if they occupy any two houses one after the other they form
' Yuga" yoga and if allthe seven planets occupy only one house in
the horoscope they form the * Go 1'yoga. These yogas are formed
if they arc not in any way contradictory to the earlier yogas. //8//

actually should have been planets 'excluding Moon". With a view
to facilitate the readers the correct combination oftheyoga is given
in eng 1 ish version.

Commentary: Some of the astrologers interpret this yoga

as that the benefic planets viz. Mercury, Jupiter and Venus should
be separately located in each house from the Moon i.e. 6th, 7th
and 8th house. Butthis is not correct.
There will be 7 types of such Chandradhi yogas as follows:

no planet in the quadrant from the Moon and also from Mercury is
not located, a Kemadruma yoga is formed. But if there are planets
in the 4th and the I Oh house from the Moon, Kemadruma yoga is
not formed.
Commentary: Some people say that this yoga is formed with reference to the planets located from the Navamamsha sign of the
Moon i.e., if planets are located in the 2nd or 12th house from the
sign occupied bythe Moon in Navamamsha. Butthis view is not
agreed to by the people.

Formation of Sunapha etc. due to other Planets and results

thereof:

1 f Sunapha. Anapha and Durudhara yogas are formed due to Mars,

the native is full of ambition, bravery and wealth and also zeal. If
these yogas arc formed due to Mercury the native is wealthy, happy
and honoured by king. He is also with good power of speech, and
an expert in arts.
//I0//

11 Sunapha, Anapha andDumdhar Yogas are fonneddue to Venus,

the native will be enjoying other's money and will be doing work as
a servant in many places.
II]Ml
Commentary: In this text the results of Jupiter and Saturn are not
given. Moreover, the results about Venus given in Brihat Jataks
are different. For the information of readers the results about Jupiter, Venus and Saturn as given in Brihat Jatak are reproduced below :JUPITER : if the above yogas are formed due to Jupiter the
native enjoys comforts and wealth He is religious and is in good
books ofa king.
VENUS ; I f the above yogas are formed due to Venus the native
is given to sex, is very rich and lives in luxury.
SATURN ; 1 f the above yogas are formed due to Saturn the native
enjoys other's wealth, house, clothes, conveyances, engages himself in many activities and is a leader of agroup of people.
From the above, it will be seen that the result given for Venus are
actually those of Saturn. Thus it is felt that there should be one or
two stanzas between the 1 st line of stanza 1 I and its second line
giving results about Jupiter and Saturn are missing.

The good and bad results of any ascendant in association with the
sign are sim i lar to those being given by the Moon in association of
those signs. This is the opinion of theold sages. Similarly, while
considering the results of any Bhava (house in the horoscope) it
should be done on the basis of location of its lord Le. the sign in
which he is located, the concerned Bhava in which he is placed,
and the lord of the sign in which the lord of that concerned Bhava is
posited and their strength etc.

effects of the rays of planets
Number of Rays of Planets

When the Sun etc. are in their deep exaltation point, their Rays are
as under:Sun - 10, Moon -9, Mars - 5, Mercury -5, Jupiter - 7
Some sages consider Rays of Moon as 11. Not some but almost all
consider the Rays of theplanets as 7 each. I (Gunakar) consider it
appropriate to take Rays of planets as 7 each. //I//
Method to calculate rays.

The following is the method to be adopted for ascertaining the proportionate number of Ray s:Deduct the debilitation sign of the planet whose Rays are to be
ascertained, ftom the longitude (Spasta graha). In case the remainder is more than 6 Rashis (signs), then it should be deducted from
12 signs. The remainder should be multiplied by the number of the
Rays of that planet mentioned above (in the first stanza) and the
product should be divided by 6. The result will denote the number
ofthe Rays of that planet.

Effects

ofthe

Rays

of Planets

161

The Rays are nil when these planets are in their deep debilitation. '
ran
Example:Let us take the longitude of Sun (Spasta graha) as sign 10, degrees
5, Kalas 13 and Vikalas 32. Now let us find out the Rays of sun.
The deep debilitation point of Sun is 6-10-0000. If the longitude
oftheSun mentioned above is deducted firm this, the product will
be 8-4-46-28. This being more than 6 signs it should be further
deducted firm 12 signs which comes to 3-25-13-32. Now let us
multiply this by 7 (Gunakar takes 7 Rays of each planets). The
product will be signs 26, degrees 26, Kalas 34, and Viakalas 44,
Now let us devide this product by 6. The resultant 4-24-2547 are
the Rays ofthe Sun. In the same manner Rays ofthe other planets
may be calculated.
Commentary; Parashar has given the number of Rays as mentioned in stanza one. However, the total number of Rays given in
all the classical books is 49. Acharya Manindha has expressed importance of these Rays and maintains, like Parashar. Maya,
Badarayana that the Rays should be taken as mentioned in stanza
one. However, as mentioned above by Gunakar. Kalyanavarma
and others are of theopinion that these Rays should be taken 7 for
each of the planets. The Rays may therefore, be calculated as
explained in the above example.

As mentioned in second stanza the rays of the concerned planet

should be calculated. If the said planet in Dwadashamsha is in his
own sign, in the tiicrid's sign or in his sign of exaltation the Rays
obtained may be doubled. In in the 6th and 10th house planets,
other than Saturn and Venus are combust their Rays should be
considered as zero.
11311
Commentary ;In Saravali, it has been mentioned that the planet if
is in his friend's Dwadashamsha, the number ofRays obtained should
be doubled. In respect ofthe planet in his own Dwadashamsha.
retrograde or in his sign of exaltation the number of Rays obtained
should be tripled.

In the Dwaaasnamsha horoscope, ifthe concerneo planet is in the

sign of his enem/ or the sign of his debilitation, the Rays ofthesaid
planet should be taken after dividing them by 16. i,e jjth Rays
should be taken. Iflhcplanet is retrograde, the Rays should be

been given.

The results of the aspects of planets on Moon in various signs have

been mentioned above. But if Moon occupies the ascendant in the
signs other than Cancer and Taums and is aspected by the planets
the results are inauspicious. Naturally, Moon in the other signs in
other houses will give above mentioned results. //7//

Hora Makarand

There are two Horas in the ascendant, (one is Cancer Hora and
the other is leo Hora). Their lords are Moon and Sun. If Mooms
located in the Hora of Sun and the planets in the Hora of Sun
aspect Moon, or if theMoon is located in his hora i.e. Cancer and
the planets in the Hora of Moon aspect Moon, the results are good.
This principle may be adopted in respect ofdecanates etc. //8//

are medium when Moon is in his own Navamamsha and are interior when Moon is in the Navamamsha of other planets. The results of malefic planets should be taken in opposite direction i.e.
inferior, medium and best. Similar results should also considered in
respect
of
Sun
and
Ascendant.
//16//

Incase the lord ofthe Navamamsha sign in which Moon is placed

is strongest, it would give full results both of sign and that of aspect.
But ifthe Moon is without strength in the Navamamsha, results of
the sign only should be considered.

Results of tlic Planets in Own Houses, Friend's Houses, in
Sign of Exaltation. Dcliilitation etc.

The results ofthe planets in thcirovvtl houses, in their fnends houses,

in the signs of their exaltation and in the signs oftheir debilitation
are as follows:
Own Houses
If only one ofthe planets is located m its own sign, the native has
the status only in the family in which he is bom. Iftwoplanets in
the horoscope are in their own IDUSCS, the native bom is one prominent amongst his own relatives. If three planets arc in their own
houses, the native bom is one who is prominent amongst his relatives (community). If four planets are in their own houses, the native is a rich man; if five, he leads a happy life, if six, the native gets
a dignity just like a king and if seven, the native is actually a king
(i.e. holds and uses the powersjust like a king.)

Friend's Houses
Ifthere is only one planet In a friendly sign, the native lives on the
wealth of others; of two he is helped by his friends,; of three, the
native gets help from his relatives; of four, the native gets help from
his brothers; of five, the native is a head of Mandal (i.e. group of
people); of six, the native is commander ofthearmy and if seven,
the native becomes a king (gets a status ofa king).
Exaltation and debilitation
In the horoscope, if there is one planet in exaltation and is aspected
by its friend, the native becomes a king (i.e. gets a status ofaking),
wealthy and has many friends. One can imagine, if more than one
planets are in exaltation with aspects oftheir friendly planets to
what greater extent they will be fruitful to the native,
if in the horoscope, the planets are in their debilitation or in the
houses oftheir enemies, the native becomes poor, devoid of all
comforts, arrogant, diseased, sinful and is always in pain and leads
a painful life in imprisonment.
Commentary: It is necessary to consider the position of planets in
Navamamshas while considering the results of the planets in exaltation or in debilitation. It is also necessary to consider the
Neechbhang Rajayogas, sign of debilitation orcnimicalsignetc.
He gives good results if he has got many points in Astakavarga.
Thus it is absolutely necessary to consider all the authoritative opinions in the matter before arriving at any result ofthe planet before
prediction.
// 1 to 3 //

Satyacharya says that the Aquarius Ascendant is not auspicious.

Yavanacharya says that only the Aquarius Varga in Ascendant is
Inauspicious. However, Vatsyayana says that the Aquarius Ascendant or its Amasha in the Ascendant cannot be inauspicious
and that the statements (of Satyacharya and Yavanacharya) are
oxtra-vagant.

If malefic planets in even signs are in Sun's Hora and benefic planets in odd signs are in Moon's Hora above mentioned results are of
medium effect. The malefic planets in even signs are in Moon's
Hora and Benefic planets in odd signs are in Sun's Hora, they will
not give above results.

If Moon is located in the decanate belonging to him or to his Mend,

the person bom will have nice qualities, and very good appearance
and if Moon occupies the dencante of his enemies, the native will
have bad quahties and bad appearance. The decision about the
results, however, may be arrived at after taking into consideration
the
nature
of
thedecanate.
//8//

Ifthedecanate occupied by Moon is 'VyaT (serpent), the native

will have aggressive temperament. Ifit is a 'bird' decanate, he is
a wanderer; of Moon occupies decanate 'Udyata Ayudha' the
native is cmel and ifthedecanate occupied by Moon is Animal'

FEMALE HOROSCOPY

The astrologers consider male and female equal for the purpose of
prediction on the basis of birth chart and tell them the results accordingly. Some of theresults which a woman cannot enjoy by or
for herself should therefore, be attributed to her husband. Anything about her husband is to be derived from the 7th house of her
birth chart. From the 8th house in her horoscope, the death of her
husband should be predicted. From an Ascendant and the Moon in
the horoscope of the female, the physical happiness she may get
firm her husband should be predicted.
//I//

If the sign in the Ascendant and that occupied by the Moon are
even signs, the woman will be modest and if these are aspected by
benefic planets, she is virtuous.

basis
ofthe
strength
of
trimshamshas.
//3to HI
Commenfary:
Such results ofTrlmshamshas in the chapter of female horoscopy
have been given in Sage Parasharis, Brihat Jataka, Jatak Parijata
and such classical books. They differ in respect of some of the
Trimshamshas results in the same sign. The reason might be anything. The main reason, perhaps, might bethatthe classical books
are in the form of poerty and the verses thus composed were to be
in one ofthe meter forms given in the Grah Gocharadhyaya of
Brihat Samhita. The words were being molded by the composers
to suit the verse which sometimes were interpreted differently.

It is a fact that Tnmshamshas are required to be examined carefully. The order of Trimshamsha in odd signs is Aries, Capricorn,
Sagittarius. Gemini and Taums while in the even signs it is Libra,
Virgo, Pisces, Aquarius and Scorpio. It is not only the lord of
Trimshamsha sign has to be considered, but we have also to examine the concerned signs owned by them. Moreover, for the purpose of prediction many other points are required to be considered
and therefore, these rules should never be applied blindly.
Before prediction the strength of the Ascendant and the Moon is
required to be ascertained. Moreover, if the Ascendant is in one
Trimshamsha and the Moon in another, the results have to be modified. Sage Parashara is of the view that the Sun horoscope also
should be considered along with these other two and therefore, has
given Sudarahana Chakra system in Parashan. The other points
which need special attention are the consideration of the 5th and
7th houses, their lords, their placements and their mutual relationships. The results of thcTrimshasha may therefore, be modified
after taking into consideration all these points.

Ifthe Saturn and Venus are in the Navamamsha of each other and
have mutual aspect or if the signs Libra and Taurus are in the
Ascendant with Aquarius Navamamsha at the time of birth,
the woman gets satisfaction of sex from female like male an tl gets
her lust calmed.

When the 7th house firm the Ascendant and the Moon are without
strength or not occupied by a planet or occupied by the powerless
planets and are not aspectcd by benefic planets, the husband ofthe
female will be mean. If the Mercury and the Saturn are in the 7th
house, the husband will be impotent, if the 7th house, has movable
sign, the husband will be always travelling. If thesign is fixed, the

I r the Sun is in the 7th house, the female will be rejected by her
husband: if Mars is in the 7th house, she becomes widow in the
childhood; and if Saturn is in the 7th house, she becomes old (without maniagc). These results should be predicted when the Sun.
Mars and the Saturn are aspected by malefic planets or are in the
Navamamsha
of
malefic
planets.
//I0//

Many malefic planets in the 7th house make the female widow.
Benelic and malefic planets in the 7th house give her second marriage. If there arc strong malefic planets in the 7th house and
aspected by benefic planes, she will be rejected by her husband. 1 f
the Venus and Mars exchange their Navamamshas (in any sign
and in any house) or if both of them along with Moon occupy
the 7th house she becomes adulterous as instructed by her
husband.

IfMoon and Venus occupy the Ascendant in the signs owned by

Saturn or Mars and are aspected by malefic planets, the native
female will commit adultery along with her mother. When the sign
in the 7th house is in the Navamamsha owned by Mars and is
aspected by Saturn the sexual organ of the female is diseased. If
the Navamamsha oflhcsignm the 7th house is ofabenelic planet,
the woman will be loved by her husband.

(1) If owned by Sun, the husband will be mild in sexual act.
(2) Ifowned by Moon, the husband will be passionate but mild in
sexual act,
(3) If ownedby Mars, the husband will be cruel and will be after
other women.

husband.
When Satumis of moderate strength, and when Venus, Mercury
and Moon are without strength and Sun, Mars and Jupiter are
powerful and when the Ascendant is in an odd sign, the woman
will be adulterous. (In Jatakabharanam it is stated that the
woman in this yoga becomes like a wise man). The word used
here is Parushini while the word used in Jatakabharanam is
Purushpragalbha').

A malefic in the 7th house makes the woman renounce the world
(Sanyas) if there is also a planet in the 9th house. The nature of

CHAFFER XXIX
DEATH
Reason of Death and there after.

It is said that the disease which may be the cause ot death of a

native is indicated by the nature of the planet aspecting the 8th
house. People are ofthcopinion that the part ofthebody indicated
by the 8th house, suffers which may cause the death.
/ /1 //

When the planets viz., Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus
and Saturn occupy the 8th house, the death is due to fire, water,
weapon, fever, disease thirst and hunger respectively. The planet
causing death if located in a movable sign, the death will be outside
the birth place or country i.e. in foreign land; ifthe planet is in a
fixed sign, the death will be at home and if it is common sign, the
death will take place while travelling.
11111
Commentary:
Sun brings about diseases by the derangement ofthe humour, bile
and air. Moon causes diseases arising from the exicitcd air (valla)
and pheigm.A full Moon and the Moon in a watery sign, disturbs
phclgm only. Mars gives rise to diseases arising from disturbed
bile. Diseases due to the troubled state of all three humours are
brought about by the Mercury. Jupiter and Venus generate tlis-

Death

201

eases of air and phelgm. Samm causes diseases from the deranged
air and bile. When disturbs bile more than air, Saturn excites air lo
a greater extent than bile. Jupiter indicates more of phelgm and
little of air. A strong Venus denotes troubles of phelgm while the
weak Venus shows excitation of air. This information is useful when
many planet's aspect the 8th house when there may be many diseases before death. That time a decision as to which planet and
the humour indicated by him may cause death can be taken with a
view to give proper treatment to the native's disease.

When Sun and Mars are in 4th or 1 Oh house, a death is by stones,

(i.e by strike of stone). If Saturn is in the 4th house, Moon is in the
71h house and Mars is in the 1 Oh house, the death is by falling into
a well.
'
//3//

When the Sun and Moon are located in sign Virgo and are aspected
by malefics, the native is killed by his own people.
If the Sun and Moon are together in the sign Pisces, the native dies
by drawing.
//4//

If Saturn is in the Sign Cancer and Moon is in the Sign Capricorn,

the native dies due to abdominal dropsy. IftheMoon is in the signs
of Mars with malefic Navamamsha, the native dies due to fire or
weapon. If ihcMoon is in the sign Virgo, in the Navamamsha of
malefic planet, the death is due to inordinate and raging thirst or
complications in blood. IftheMoon is in the sign owned by Satumr
in the Navamamsha of mclefies,the death is due to ropes or fire or
fall.

sign Libra, the Moon is either in the sign Capricorn or Aquarius and
Saturn is in the sign Aries, the native dies in an bitter and injurious
smell. Similarly, if weakMoon occupies J Oth the house. Sun occupies the 7th house and Mars occupies the 4th house, the native dies
in an infuriousand deadly smell.
//I0//

If Mars and Venus aspect the weak Moon and if Saturn is in the 8th
house, the person dies from warms, fire or weapons due to which
the private parts are diseased and the native suffers from severe
to pains before death.

If the Saturn is in the 8th, Mars and Sun are in the 7th and weak
Moon is in the 4th house, the death is fiom birds. If theSun, Mars,

and 9th the native dies by falling fiom the top of thcmountain, or
fiom the wall or below the wall, or by lightening or thunderbolt.
11] HI

The scholars in astrology say that the 22nd second decanate

indicate the nature of death. Death is caused by the nature
of the lord of the decanate or by the nature of the owner
of the sign having that decanate. (i.e. the lord of the 8th
house).

Death takes place in areas similar to the sign occupied by the

Navamamsha lord or the planets in that sign or planets aspecting
the sign. The place of death may also be predicted on that
position.
//14//

The time of death is to be known from the number of Navamamshas

yet to rise after birth. Ifthelord of the Ascendant aspects it. the
time should be doubled and if it is aspected by benefics, the time
should be tripled.
//15//

The results ofthe decanate rising in the 8th house which may cause
death would be according to the nature and qualities of the said
decanate. Ifitis Agni decanate, the body is reduced to ashes. Ifit
is Jala decanate, the bodywill be moist. Ifitis Misra decanate, the
body will be dried and if it is Bhujanga decante, the body wil I be in
the excretion and urine. As for the past and future births, one
should refer greater works in the matter and use the information
tactfully.
//16/A

Jupiter brings the persons from Devaloka, Moon and Venus bring
persons from Pitruloka, Sun and Mars bring the people from
Tiryakaloka and Mercury and Saturn bring the people from
Naraka. Similar is the position after deaths, as indicated by the
planets.

Find the stronger between the Sun and the Moon Note the
decanates. The lord of that decanate reveals the world from where
the native has come. As per the decanate occupied by the most
powerful between the Sun and the Moon we have to find the high,
middle or low status the native was having in previous birth. II) ill

If there arc planets in the 6th, 7th, and 8th houses one of thcplanet
which is powerful indicate the native 'existence after death. Similarly, the lord of therising decanate in the 6th and 8th, indicate the

When exalted Jupiter is in the 6th or 8th in the quadrant or when

Jupiter is in the benefic Navamamsha in the sign Pisces and other
planets are without strength, the native attains Moksha.

Iftheperson does not know his iime of birth or the lime of his
conception the Ascendant has to be decided as per the Ascendant
rising at the lime of query. The birth should be considered in
Uttarayana, if the first hora rises and in Dakshinayana, if the second hora rises.
II] II
Commentary : Uttarayana is the period from the entry of the Sun
in the sign Capricorn till his departure from the sign Gemini. The
remaining period of six months is Dakshinayana.

Take the rising Dwadashamsha of Jupiter at the time of query.

After considering the sign and Dwadashamsha occupied by the
Jupiter his position at the time of birth should be considered. The
age of the querist must be guessed from the appearance of the
querist. If Saturn, Venus, Mars, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter are
strong in decanates. Ri!ii(season) should be counted from Shishira
and davs from the Sun.

Unknown (Lost) Horoscopes

215

It Rim (season) does not come in the concerned Ayana, they should
be taken alternately i.e., for Varsha, Vasant Ritu should be taken;
for Sharad, Grishma Rjtu should be taken and for Hemant, Shishir
Ritu should be taken and vice versa.
112 & "ill
Commentary :There are six Ritu in a year and two months in one
Ritu which are as follows;
Vasant
Chaitra and Vaishakah
(Spring)
Grishma
Jyeshtha and Ashadha
(Summer)
Varsha
Shravana and Bhadrapada
(Rains)
Sharada
Ashvina and Kartika
(Autumn)
Hemanta
Margasira and Pausha
(Autumn)
Shishira
Magha and Phalguna
(Winter)

There are two months in one Ritu. If the Ascendant at the time of
query is in the first decanate, the first month of thcRitu should be
taken. If it is in the second dec ante, the second month should be
taken and if is in the third decanate, it should be divided into two
sections and then the month should be decided accordingly.
Some are of the opinion that Tithi should be considered on the basis
ofthe degrees of the Sun. If the Ascendant is indicative ofthe
night, the birth should be considered to be in day time and if it is
indicative of day, the birth should be considered to be in the
night. The time should be considered by the difference of 10 degrees.
// 4 & 5//

Some Acharya say that the (uner month should be determined by

the sign occupied by the Moon in Navamamsha sign. Some say
that the querist should be asked to touch any part of his body and on

216

Hora Makarana

friat basis, the position of the Moon should be found out; or some
say that the powerful amongst the Ascendant, 5th house, and the
9th house is the sign indicative ofthe Moon.
Note the distance from the Ascendant at the time of query to the
sign occupied by the Moon. The position ofthe Moon wil I be in that
sign which will be equal to that number (ofthesign). IftheMoon
is in the sign Pisces, the Moon wi 11 be in that sign at the time of
birth. On the basis of the articles of food, figures (of animal) and
sounds at the time of query can also determine the position ofthe
Moon that might be at the time of birth ofthe quarist. //6 & HI

ffthe Ascendant at the time of query is in the even sign from the
sign occupied by the Sun, the birth is in the latter period (in six
signs) and if it is in the odd sign, the birth is in the earlier period (in
six signs) and each sign should be considered to be of five degrees.
J/QI/

The rising Navamamsha at the lime of query wi I! be the Ascendant

at the time of birth or count from the decanate of the Asecendant
at the time of query to the decanate occupied by Sun. Count this
from the Ascendant at the time of query and we would get the
Ascendant of thequerisl at his birth.
Take the longitude of the planet in the Ascendant orthat of the
most powef ul planet in the chart and muliply it by Chhayangula and
divide it by 12. The remainder counted from the sign Aries gives
Ascendant at b i rth; or the Ascendant will be seventh i f the querist
is sitting, it will be fourth from the Ascendant of the query ifthe
quarist is lying down; if he gets up it will be tenth from the query

ascendant and if he asks the question while standing, the ascendant

of the query and at birth are the same. //9and 10 /,
Commentary : Eight Yava make one Angula which is approximately 3/4th ofan inch. Yava is a grain.

Take the Ascendant of the time of thequery in degrees, kala etc

and multiply them by the digits as shown below in respect of signs
and planets'.
Signs
(a) for Taums and Leo by 10, (b) for Gemini and Scorpio by 8; (c)
for Aries and Libra by 7; (d) for Virgo and Capricorn by 5 and (e)
for remaining signs, they are to be multiplied by their own number
i.e. for Cancer by4, for Sagittanus by 9, for Aquanus by 11, and for
Pisces by 12.
Planets
If there are any planets in the Ascendant of the time of query, the
multiplying digits are as follows:
For Jupiter 10. for Mars 8, for Venus 7, and for Sun, Moon, Mercuiy and Saturn, it is 5 each.
This must be done with signs and if a planet is in the Ascendant, it
must undergo this procedure as a mle always.
IhMl

The Ascendant must be multiplied as mentioned above by multiplier of signs as well as planets after converting Ascendant into
Ghatika. The results thereafter, must again be multiplied by seven
and divided by 27. The remainder is the star at the time of birth.
This when divided by 9 we get Ista Ghati and Pala. Similarly, the
year, month etc. can be found out by their own multipliers and divisors.
