      Hindu Astrology has been practice for thousands of years; it is based on sound principles of astronomy; the Predictive astrology gained popularity and is in wide use. Here we present the famous book JATAKA CHANDRIKA, which describes some important rules of predictive astrology.

    Here we give the sanskrit verses (slokams) and their english meaning;

1. SIDHANTAM  UPANISHADAM  SIDHAANTHAM  PARAMESTHINAHA               SHONAADHARAM MAHATH KINCHI DVEENA DHARAM UPAASMAHEA.

The Mother-Goddess Sri Saraswathi  is the presiding diety of all Upanishads, (well established theories of all Sciences),  embodiment of  Brahma siddhanthams,  and  playing sweet celestial music on Veena (musical instrument).  She is surrounded by celestial glow and glory.  We prostrate before Her.

• PHALAANI NAKSHATHRA DASAA PRAKAARENA  VIVRUNMAHEA,

                VAYAM  PAARASAREEM  HORAA   MANUSMRUTHYA  YADHAMATHIHI.

We  now  explain  the  slokams  written  by  ancient sage  (Maharshi)  PARASARA  explaining Hora phalams (predictions) ;  these  scientific methods based on  NAKSHATHRA (stars),  planets, life—periods  (dassas)  that come in the life span of a person,  as explained by  ancient  scholar  Manindha.

• BUDHAIRBHAVAADAYA  SSARVEJNEA  YAASSAAMANYA  SASTHRATAHA                  EATHATHSAANUSAARENA SANJNAAM BHRUMO VISHESHATAHAA.

A person who wishes to master astrology (jyothisham) should learn from elderly scholars in a regular  fashion  bhavams , nakshatrams (stars),  grahams (planets), lagnams ( the position of  particular happening at particular time (like birth of a child)  in the  chart of planets (bhava-chakram) and many such scientific facts and fundamental  concepts of the sciences of astronomy  and astrology  and the symbols, glossary of scientific terms and their full meanings.  We now explain some such concepts here.

• PASYANTHI  SAPTHAMAA  SARVEA SANI JEEVA KUJAH PUNAHA,                 VISHESHATHASCHA THRIDASA THRIKONA CHATHURASRAGAAN.

Every planet aspects (dhrusthi = sees) the seventh house from the house it is positioned.

Planet:	SUN	MOON	KUJA	MERCURY	JUPITER	VEENUS	SATURN	RAAHU	KETHU
Aspect House No:	7	7	4,7,8	7	5,7,9	7	3,7,10	7	7

• SARVE THRIKONANEA THAARO’ GRAHA SSUBHA PHALA PRADAHAA, PATHAYASTHREE SHADAAYAANAM YADHI  PAAPA PHALA PRADHAHA.

Generally, we consider nine planets and twelve raasis (houses) in vedic astrology; Raahu and Kethu are not assigned “Lordship” to any house.   In case of remaining seven planets, they have “Lordship”

RAASI	HOUSE	RAASI  ADHIPATI	LORD OF  HOUSE
MESHAM	ARIES	KUJA	MARS
VRUSHABHAM	TAURUS	SUKRA	VEENUS
MITHUNAM	GEMINI	BUDHA	MERCURY
KARKATAKAM	CANCER	CHANDRA	MOON
SIMHAM	LEO	RAVI	SUN
KANYA	VIRGO	BUDHA	MERCURY
THULA	LIBRA	SUKRA	VEENUS

DHANASU	SAGITTARIUS	GURU	JUPITER
MAKARAM	CAPRICORN	SANI	SATURN
KUMBHAM	AQUARIUS	SANI	SATURN
MEENAM	PISCES	GURU	JUPITER

If a planet is the lord of 5^th or 9^th House it gives beneficial results, even if it is MALEFIC (harmful) planet; If a planet is the Lord of 3^rd or 4^th house, it gives only the harmful effects, even if it is good planet.

• NADISANTHI SUBHAM SROONAAM SAUMYAAHA KENDRA ADHIPAAYADI,

KROORASCHEADASUBHAM THVE THA, PRABALAA  UTHAROTHARAM,

Even if a planet is beneficial (good) and is good-natured (soumya),  it gives bad (harmful) results  if  that planet has lordship  of  Kendra—raasis, namely  4^th, 7^th, and 10^th houses.  Even if a planet is papa-graha (cruel), it gives good (beneficial) results if that planet has lordship of kendra—raasis.

Guru = Jupiter,  Sukra = Veenus,  Budha = Mercury, Chandra = Moon are soumya (beneficial) planets. Ravi = Sun, Kuja = Mars, Sani = Saturn are kroora (cruel) planets.

PRABALAA UTHAROTHARAM  =  STRONGER IN SUCCESSIVE ORDER;  this  means  the lord of

Lagnam = house 1 gives harmful results,  the lord of 4^th house gives worse results, the lord of 7^th house gives still worse results, the lord of 10^th house gives worst (most harmful) results.   The lord of 5^th house gives beneficial results; the lord of 9^th house gives more beneficial (better) results.  The lord of 3^rd house gives bad (harmful) results, the lord of  6^th house gives worse results, the lord of 11^th house gives still worse results.

• LAGNAD VYAYA  DWITHEEYESAU  PARESHAAM  SAAHACHARYATAHA, STHANANTHARAANNU GUNEYNA BHAVATHAHA PHALADAAYAKAU. 

The lords of 2^nd house and or 12^th house are together with other planets in the same house, or they also have lordships of other houses and such other considerations determine whether that planet gives results, good or bad.  These lords of 2^nd or 12^th house do not have lordships of other houses or they stay in their own houses they can not give good or bad results.   Let us illustrate this fact:  The lords of  second  houses  of  Mithunam (Gemini),  and  Karkatakam (Cancer)  houses  are Chandra (Moon) and Ravi (Sun)  can not cause death if they are positioned in their own houses, namely,  Karkatakam  (Cancer) and Simham (Leo). (Also see slokams 49 & 53 (verses) to illustrate this fact.)

• BHAGYA VYAYADHIPATHYAENA RANDHRAE SOANA SUBHAPRADAAH NAYEAVA SUBHA SANDHAATAA  LAGNAADHISOPICHETH SWAYAM.

      The 9^th house is Bhagya-sthaanam (house of prosperity); 12^th house to this 9^th hous is 8^th house; the

Lord of 8^th house gives paapa (harmful) results.  If the same lord of 8^th house is also the lord of lagnam (1^st house), that planet gives (beneficial) results.   Let us explain:  Lagnam is 1^st house; lagnam is 5^th house for Bhagya-raasi (9^th house).  We shall tell you soon that the lord of lagnam (1^st house) is also the lord of 9^th house, he is not paapi (cruel); that planet gives beneficial results only.   If Lagnam is Mesham

(Aries), the 8^th house is Vruschikam (Scorpio); Kuja (Mars) is the lord of both the houses; If Lagnam is Thula (Libra), the 8^th house is Vrushabham (Taurus); Sukra (Veenus) is the lord of both the houses.  In these cases Kuja = Mars, and Sukra = Veenus are not harmful; they are beneficial planets.

       In the next three slokams (verses) we explain the good and bad results the planets give by lordships: good-natured (soumya) planets having lordships of 4^th, 7^th, and 10^th houses;  cruel (kroora) planets having lordships of 8^th house.

• KENDRA ADHIPATYA DOSHASTHU BALAVAAN GURU SUKRAYOH, MARAKATVEPI CHA THAYORMAARKA-STAANA  SAMSTHITHAHA.

Guru (Jupiter),  and  Sukra (Veenus) are good-natured (Soumya) planets;  the harm they do by having Lordship of kendrams – 4^th , 7^th, 10^th houses is very strong.  If those planets have lordships of kendrams and are positioned in maaraka-sthaanams (houses which cause death = 2^nd house, & 7^th houses), they cause death to the person;  the  harmful result they give is very strong.

1. BUDHASTHADANU CHANDROPI BHAVETHA THADANUTHADWIDHAH, NARANDHRASATHVADOSTHU  SURYA CHANDRA MASOBHAVETH.               

The harmful effects caused by the lordship of kendrams  4^th, 7^th, & 10^th houses is less in case of Budha

(Mercury) when compared to the harm done by Guru = Jupiter and Sukra = Veenus.  The harmful effect caused by  Chandra (Moon) having lordship of kendrams, is less than the harm done by Budha (Mercury); There is no harmful effect  for Ravi = Sun and Chandra = Moon, by  having =lordship of 8^th  house.

1. KUJASYA KARMA NETHRUTHVA PRAYUKTHA SUBHAKAARITHAA THRIKONASYAAPI NETHRUTHVEA NAKARMAESATHVAMAATHRATHAH .

If  Kuja = Mars has lordship of  both 5^th and 10^th houses, Kuja is beneficial planet. If  Kuja = Mars has only the lordship of  the 10^th house (karma-sthaanam) and also the lordship of the 3^rd house,  Kuja is a harmful (paapi) planet.   So  Kuja  is  beneficial  for  persons born in Karkataka (Cancer)  lagnam  and  Kuja  is  harmful for persons born in Kumbha (Aquarius) lagnam

1. YADYADHBAAVA GATHAAVAAPI  YADYADHBHAAVEASA SAMYUTHAU,       THATHATH PHALAANI PRABALAU PRADHISEATHAANTHA YOGRAHAU.     

Raahu  and  Kethu  do not have lordship of any house;  they are sadow-planets.  But they give results depending on  (1) the house in which they are positioned;  (2)  the lords of houses (bhaava-addhipathulu) with whom they are positioned in the same house;  (3)  they are aspected (seen = dhrushti) by  lords of  which houses;  the relative strengths of those planets .  Let  us  explain :  if  Raahu & Kethu are in beneficial houses,  are in association with beneficial planets in the same house, they give good  results. 

If  Raahu and Kethu are in harmful houses, and are in association with  cruel (bad = harmful) planets, they give bad = harmful results.   The relative strengths of  association,  relative position, and sight (dhrushti = seeing)of planets and their relative strengths determine the nature & strength of results, Raahu & Kethu give.

                    SUBHA  YOGAMS  =  BENEICIAL  ASPECTS.

1. KENDRA THRIKONA PATHAYA SSAMBANDHENA PARASPARAM

                           ITHARAIRA PRASAKTHAASCHEA DVISESHA SUBHA PHALA DAAYAKAAH.

The lords  of  kendrams  : 1^st, 4^th, 7^th, 10^th houses, and  the lords of trikonamas : 1^st, 5^th and 9^th houses have mutual relationships,  and or mutual dristhis (aspecting = seeing), and they do not have relations with other planers,  they give  beneficial results.  If these lords of kendrams (1,4,7,10 houses) and thrikonams (1,5,9 houses) have no relations or no associations with lords of  bad houses like 3, 6, 11 houses or  dristhi

(seeing) of these bad houses  these planets give  highly beneficial results.   If  such relations or associations exist, those planets give ordinary, yet good results.

             RAJA YOGAMS = VERY HIGHLY BENEFICIAL ASPECTS.

1. KENDRA TRIKONAGAE THAARAU  DOSHA YUKTAAVAPI SVAYAM

        SAMBANDHA MAATHRA DBHAVALINAU  BHAVETHAM YOGA KAARAKAA

If  the lords of bhaagya and raajya (9^th and 10^th ) houses are very strong, though they have doshams (defects) on their own, and / or if they have  lordships of other bad (harmful) houses,  by mere association they bestow highly beneficial results.  This verse conveys ideas contrary to the ideas in verse :13, the learners must understand this as an “exemption  rule” , says the commentator, sage Sri Manindha.

1. NIVASEATHAAM  VYATHYAYAENA THAA UBHAU DHARMA KARAMNOH,

      EAKATHRA ANYATHARO VAAPINASAECHCHAE DYOGA KAARAKAAHA.

The lords of  dharma and karma sthaanams (9^th and 10^th houses) have exchanged their places, i.e., The lord of 9^th house is in 10^th house and / or the lord of 10^th house is in 9^th house, those two planets give Raja—yogam = highly beneficial  results ;  if  only one planet is in such an exchanged position, i.e., the Lord of 9^th house in 10^th house  OR the lord of 10^th house is in 9^th house, only that planet gives rajayogam.

1. THRIKONAADHIPAYORMADHYE SAMBANDHO YENA KENA CHITH,          KENDRA ADHIPASYA BALINO BHAVEDYADI SA YOGA KRUTH.

*KENDRA ADHIPASYA BALINO,   CAN BE EXPLAINED ON THE BASIS OF THE RULE : 

PRABALAA UTHAROTHARAA*  If the the lord of the 10^th house has association or relation with the Lords of 5^th or 9^th house, that  raajya-adhipathi = lord of 10^th house gives (raja-yoga)highly beneficial results.

1. DASAASVAPI BHAVE DYOGAH, PRAAYASO YOGA KAARINOH,            DASAA DYAYEE MADYA GATHO THADAYAK SUBHA KAARINAAM.

If  there are periods (maha-dasaas) of  two highly beneficial planets (yoga-kaaraka grahams) come in the life of a person , if the maha-dasaa = main period of another beneficial (good) planet comes between those two raja-yoga dasaas (periods), the intermediate maha-dasaa of that good planet also gives good results. The good planet  may not have any relation or association with those two rajayoga-kaarka = highly beneficial  planets.  

1. YOGA KAARAKA SAMBANDHAH PAAPINOPI GRAHA SSVATHAH          THATHAD BHUKTHANU SAAREANA DHI SEYURAUYAGIKAM PHALAM.

Some planets, by nature may be harmful (bad = paapi), they may have lordship of bad houses, namely, 3^rd, 6^th, 11^th houses,  if those bad planets have relation with raja-yoga-kaarka = highly beneficial planets, that is, the planets have association with or have dristhi (seeing = sight) of the raja-yoga planets, those bad planets also give highly beneficial results.

1. YAADI KENDRE THRIKONEVAANI VASETHAAM THAMO GRAHAU,           NAADHE NAANYATARA SAIVA SAMBANDHAA DYOGA KAARAKAA.

If Raahu and Kethu are positioned in kendrams; 1^st, 4^th, 7^th, and 10^th houses or are positioned in Trikonams ; 1^st, 5^th or 9^th houses, and if the planets positioned in kedrams have relation with lords of konams, or if the planets positioned in konams have relation with lords of kendrams, then Raahu and Kethu  give beneficial (good) results.

• KENDRA THRIKONA ADHIPAYORYAI KYETHAE YOGRA KAARAKAAH,        ASYA THRIKONA PATHINAA SAMBANDHO YADHIKAM PHALAM.

If the same planet has the lordship of kendram (1,4,7,10 houses) and also the lordship of konam, both; that planet gives very good results (raja-yogam).  If that planet has additionally the lordship of another konam, it definitely gives excellent results (maha-raaja-yogam).

                                          HOW RAJA—YOGAM IS SPOILED

• DHARMA KARMAADHI NETHARAU RANDHRA LABAADHIPO YADHIHI,        THAYO SAMBANDHA MATHRENA NA YOGAM LABHATHE NARAHA,

If any one planet which has the lordship of the 9^th house (bhaagyam) or the 10^th house (raajyam) has lordship of 8^th (randhra) and or 11^th (laabha) houses additionally, or has the association, relation or dhrishti (seeing = veekshanam) of such lords of 9^th or 10^th houses, the beneficial results (raja-yogam)  bestowed by that planet  is spoiled.

              ASPECTS RELATED TO LONG LIFE SPAN (AAYURDAAYAM).

• ASHTAMAMHAA AAYUSHYA STHAANAM, AAYUSHYA STHAANAMAADI    

ASTHAMAMCHATHAT,  THAYORAPI VYAYASTHAANAM MAARKA STHAANAMUCHYATE.

The 8^th house from Janma—lagnam (ASD= the birth house), and the 8^th  house from this 8^th house is 3^rd house; these two houses, namely the 8^th house and 3^rd houses are known as HOUSES OF LONGEVITY (AAYUSTHAANAMS).  The 12^th houses (Vyaya—sthaanams) for these two houses  are 7^th house and 2^nd houses and are known as  Maaraka—sthaanams = Houses causing death.

• THATRAA PYAADYA VYAYA STHAANADUTHARAM BALAVATHARAM,

                THADEESAMASTHATRA GATHAASYAAPI NASTHEA NASAMYUTHAAHA.

In deciding the relative strengths of  Maraka—sthaanams  (houses causing death), the 2^nd  house,  and the lord of 2^nd  house are far stronger than the 7^th  house and the lord of  7^th  house;  still stronger are the planets positioned in the 2^nd and 7^th houses; and or the planets which have association with the lords of  2^nd and 7^th houses are still stronger.  The lord of 2^nd house is stronger than the lord of 7^th house, similarly, the planets which have association with the lord of the 2^nd house, and positioned in the same house as the lord of 2^nd house are strong in causing death to the person.

• THESHAAM DASAA VIPAAKESHU SAMBHAVEA NIDHANAM NRUNAAM,       THESHAAMANAM BHAVEA THAATHSAAKSHAA DVAYAA DHEESAA DASAASYAPI.   

    The death of a person may occur during the main periods (Maha-dasaas)  of  the lords of  7^th and2^nd houses  or  the periods of the planets which are positioned in the 2^nd and 7^th houses or the planets which have relation  with the lords of those 2^nd and 7^th houses.  If such periods (dasaas) do not occur during the life period of the person, the death will occur during the period  of  the lord of 12^th house (relative to janma lagnam =house of birth = ASD).

• THALAABHEA PUNAREA THESHAAM SAMBANDHEA NAVYAESITHUHU,            KVACHICHUBHAANAAMCHA DASAA ASHTHAMEACHA DASAASUCHA.

If the main periods of  lords of 2^nd and 7^th  houses, or the main periods of planets associated with the lords of 2^nd and 7^th houses or the periods of planets which are positioned in the 2^nd and or 7^th houses or the period of the lord of 12^th house (Vyaya) do not occur in the life of the person,  the death may occur  during the period of beneficial (good) planet associated with the lord of the 12^th house, or during the period of the good planets associated with the lord of the 8^th house.

• KEVANAALAANCHA  PAAPAANAAM DASAASU NIDHANAM KVACHITH,       KALPANEEYAM BUDHAIH SROONAAM MAARAKAA NAAMA DARSANEA.

If  one can not find the maaraka-grahams (planets causing death) in the horoscope chart of a person, the death may occur in the period of the planet, having worst qualities (paapa-graham) of most harmful planet. This is the opinion of great scholars who mastered astrology.

• MAARAKAI SSAHA SAMBANDHAA NNIHANDAA PAAPA KRUCHANIHI,                     ATHIKRAMEAA THARAANSARVEA NBHAVATHCHEVA NA SAMSAYAHA

If  the planet Sani (Saturn) has the lordship of harmful houses like 11^th house (laabha-sthaanam) and is related to maaraka-grahams (planets causing death),  then  SATURN = SANI  possesses most harmful nature, and definitely causes the death  of the person.  There is no doubt.  (Example of Bhaava  horoscope chart).

MEENAM (1) LAGNAM	MESHAM   (2)	VRUSHABHAM (3)   SANI.	MITHUMNAM    (4)  GURU	KARKAATAKAM     (5)	SIMHAM    (6) RAAHU
KANYA (7)	THULA (8)	VRUSCHIKA (9)	DHANASU (10) MOON= SASI	MAKARAM (11)  BUDHA; KUJA	KUMBHAM (12) RAVI; KETHU.

In this chart, Sani = Saturn causes death due to his lordship of  11^th house (laabha-sthaanam), MAKARAM, in the main period of Sani.

                  SUB PERIODS (BHUKTIS) & THEIR ATTRIBUTES.

• NADHISEYUR GRAHAA SSARVEA SVA-DASAASU SVA-BHUKTHI BHU,             SUBHA-ASUBHA PHALAM SROONA YAATMA-BHAAVA ANUSAARATHAHA. 

The planets like Ravi = Sun etc. do not give good or bad results during their sub-periods (bhukthis) within their main-periods (maha-dasaas) as per their own  bhavaas (relative positions with respect to ASD = janma—lagnam = birth aspect).

• AATHMA SAMBNDHIGAA YECHAYE YE NIJA SADHARMANAHA,             THESHAM ANTHAR-DASAASVEVADISANTHI SVA-DASAA PHALAM.

If those planets which have relation with the lord of the main period (maha-dasa) give results within their  (bhukthis) sub-periods  the same results of the lord of the main-period.  If those planets do not have any

relation  with the lord of the main period, yet they have attributes similar to those of the lord of mainperiod, then those planets within their sub periods give the same results of the lord of main-period. 

• ITHAREASHAAM DASAANAADHA VIRUDHA PHALA DAAYINAAM,         THATHATH PHALAANU GUNYEANA PHALAA NYUHAANI BHIKTHISHUHU.

In case of planets which  give results opposite those of the lord of the main-period,  those planets give

results good or bad within their sub-periods (bhukthis) depending on the relative—strengths of those planetsand the lord of the main-period.  The bukthi-planet is stronger, then the results will be more of the nature of the bhukthi-lord and if the lord of main period is stronger, then the results will be more of the nature of the main lord.  But  the results will be better or worse depending on the relative strengths of the planets which are lord of main period and the lord of the sub-period.

• SVA-DASAAYAAM  THRIKONEASO BHUKTAA KENDRAPATHEA SUBHAM,         DISAE THSOSI THATHAA NOCHE DASAMBANDHEVI PAAPAKRUTH.

If the lord of konam (1^st, 5^th, 9^th  house) does not have the lordship of houses like 3^rd, 6^th, 8^th, or 11^th, and even if he has no relation with the lord of kendram (1^st, 4^th, 7^th, 10^th house), in the main period of the lord of  konam and in the sub-period of the  lord of kendram, good (benefical) results are given which are characteristic of the lord of  konam.  In a similar way, the lord of paapa-kendram (harmful house) gives good results  in his main period in the sub period of the lord of kona—adhipathi (lord of konam 1^st, 5^th, 9^th ), though there is no relation between the two lords, namely the lord of kendram and the lord of konam.

• AARAMBHO RAJA-YOGASYA BHAVE MAARAKA BHUKTHISHU,            PRABALAYANTHI THAMARABDHAM KRAMASAHA PAAPA BHUKTHIYAHA.

If a planet has maarka (death-causing) qualities, and if the same planet has raja-yoga = highly beneficial attributes, that planet gives highly beneficial results in its own sub-period within its own main-period. That highly beneficial also continues and increases in the sub-periods of paapa-grahas = harmful planets, provided those bad planets have no relation with the lord of the main-period.

• THATHSAMBANDHI SUBHNAANCHA THATHAA PUNARA SAMUTHAAM,             SUBHANAANTHU SAMATHVENA NA SAMYUGYO YOGA-KAARUNAHA.

Those beneficial (good) planets which are related to the raja-yoga-kaaraka = highly beneficial planetgive highly beneficial results during their sub-periods.   In addition to this good effect, those beneficial planets which have no relation to the raja-yoga-kaaraka planet also give beneficial results during their subperiods.

• SUBHASYA SVAVIYUKTHASYA DASAAYAAM YOGA-KAARAKAAHA,         SVA-SVA BHUKTHISHU CHECHANTHI KUTHRA CHIDYOGA  KAARINAAM.

The highly beneficial planets (raja-yoga-kaaraka) give beneficial results during the main periods of other beneficial planets, during their own sub-periods, though they have no relation to this H.B.(highly beneficial) planets.    In addition, the H.B.planets give beneficial results during the subperiods of the other beneficial (good) planets within their main-periods.

• THAMO GRAHOU SUBHAAROONA VA SAMBANDHASCHA KENACHITH,             ANTHAR DASAAYAA SUROOPENA BHAVETHAAM YOGA-KAARIKAU.

If RAAHU and KETHU  do not have any relation or association with other harmful (bad) planets, and if they are positioned in good (beneficial) houses, they give good results during their main periods, and duringthe sub-periods of other beneficial planets.

• PAAPAAYADI DASAANAADHAA SSUBHAACHA THADASAMYUJAAM,              BHUKTHAYAHA          PAAPA             PHALADAAHAH          THATHPAMYUKUCHBHA BHUKTHAYAH.

• BHAVANTHI MISRA PHALADAAH BHUKTHAYO YOGAA KAARINAAM,

          ATHYANTHA PAAPA PHALADAA BHAVANTHI DAVA SAMYUJAAH

The lords of main-periods, if they have no relation with harmful (paapa-graha) planets, they give harmful results during the sub-periods of beneficial planets.  Beneficial (subha-grahams) planets have relation with the lords of the main periods, give mixed results during their sub-periods.  If the H.B planets have no relation with the lords of main-periods give harmful (bad = paapa) results only.

• SATHYAPI SVENA SAMBANDHEA NAHANTHI SUBHA-BHUKTHISHU,           HANTHYA SATHYAPI SAMBANDHEA MARAKAHA PAAPA-BHUKTHISHU.

The lord of main period (LMP) who has maaraka (death-causing) quality will not cause death during the sub-periods of beneficial planets who have relation or association with him (LMP).

The LMP causes death during the sub-periods of the harmful planets, even they have no relation with LM P planet (death-causing).

• PARASPARA DASAAYANTHU SVA-BHUKTHAU SAURI, BHARGAVAU,            PRATHISAETHAAM VYATHYAYENA VISESHENA SUBHA-ASUBHAM.

         In case of Sani (Saturn) and Sukra (Veenus),  when the sub-period of one planet comes during the main period of  the other planet (namely sub-period of Sani in Sukra’s main period or sub-period of Sukra in the main period of Sani), they together give  very highly good or bad results depending on the attributes of the bhukthi (sub-period).

We hereunder study full details  of each birth-house (Janma-lagnam = ASD) and based on the basic laws  propounded till now in the above 39 slokaas (Sanskrit verses), we now  describe the beneficial and harmful aspects of  the planets for each birth-house (Janma-lagnam).

 GOOD & BAD ASPECTS OF PLANETS FOR EACH BIRTH-HOUSE

Sani (Saturn), Budha (Mercury) and Sukra ( Veenus) are harmful planets for person born in Mesha

(Aries) Lagnam.  Sani is lord of 11^th house (laabha-adhipathi);  Budha is the lord of 3^rd and 6^th Houses;  Sukra is the lord of 2^nd and 7^th houses (both are maaraka = death-causing houses). So they harm. Ravi (Sun), Guru (Jupiter), Budha (Mercury), Sani (Saturn) = the lord of 10^th house (Raajyam), Guru (Jupiter) = the lord of 9^th house (bhaagyam), do not give good (beneficial) results though they have relations with good houses.  Though Sani  is beneficial as the lord of 10^th house (kendram), his subha-yogam (beneficial effect) is spoiled by his simultaneous lordship of the paapa-sthaanam (bad house) 11^th house (laabham). Sukra (Veenus) will not cause death; but Sani  and other evil planets will cause-death to the person.

                                            OTHER ASPECTS OF IMPORTANCE:

• SUBHA PAAPAATHMAKA THAMAA NIRDHESHTEABHYAM PARE GRHAAH,          BHAVANTHI PHALADA SSANA SAAHACHARYA ANUGUNYATHAHA.

Though the planets are classified as beneficial (subha) and  harmful (evil = paapaa) in the above verses, the  results (phalams) they give depend on their association with other planets and their nature, and on their positions  in various houses and the nature of those houses; this detailed study is important while predicting.

• PUTHRA, DAARAADI, LAABHASYA SUBHAATHMAKA THAYAA GRAHAAH,

       PRADISANTHI SUBHAAGYEVA SVA-DASAASU SVA-BHUKTHISHU.

The person getting a spouse or begetting children, is a very highly beneficial result and subham.

Such high order benefits (LAABHAMS) happen in the life of a person  during the main periods (dasaas) and  during the sub-periods (Bhukthis)  of  highly beneficial (H.B) planets (subha-yogakaarka grahams).

• YOGESHU KECHI JNAAYANTHEA MADHAAHAA KASHMIRA-GARDHABHAA,     YOGASTHE  KIMKAISHYANTHI SVA-DASAA NAMA NA AAGAMEA.

Some persons are born with very high order of Maha-raaja-yogams (Very highly beneficial aspects) in their horoscopes; But, unfortunately, the dasaas (main-periods) of those H.B. planets do not come in the life-span of that person. The presence of yoga is useless; that person can not, in such cases, enjoy the benefits.

• PAAPINACHE THATH GRAHAASTHESHAM UTCHATVENA  KIM  PHALAM.

         BALAVATHVE  GHAATHUKAANAAM YATH PHALAM LABHATHE HITHATH.

Even though the EVIL planets, are in exulted position (utcha-sthithi), they only cause harm all the more. The utchatvam (exultation) of the planets will not be of any use.  If they are evil planets, they give bad results. The stronger the evil planet and the more is its exultation, the results it gives is much more harmful.

• PHALAANI GRHACHAARENA SUCHAYANTHI MANISHINAHA,                  KO VAKTHA THAARATHAMYASYA THAMEKAM VEDHASAM VINA

The learned scholars of astrology examine the positions of the planets and predict results, good or bad. But they can not accurately assess the relative effects of all the planets and say what happens definitely in future. Only the Supreme Lord BRHAMAA (VIDHI) alone knows exactly what happens in future. So wise persons take the astrological predictions only for advice and guidance; they act wisely to get best results.
