It creates lack of endurance, low vitality, melancholy, fear, dependency or servitude, and deviousness or dishonesty.
Sun rules he heart, blood through veins, vision and eyesight. The heart is the organ of intelligence that regulates life, breathing, aspiration and perception.

The moon being placed in 6th house causes health concerns reducing vitality, being debilitated in the sign of Scorpio causing concerns related to blood formation.

*Planet strength by method A is shad Bal and method B is Vimsopaka Bal and method C is Ashtakabaraga.
By method A, SB or Shad Bal can be maximum 2. This measure of strength tells us the relative impact of planets in our life irrespective or its nature (good or bad)
By method B, VB or Vimsopaka Bal can be maximum 20 and minimum 0. This also gives the overall beneficial nature of the planet in our life particularly in its period and sub period operating.
By method C, AB or Ashtakabarga can be maximum 8 and minimum 0. At 8 the planet is totally auspicious and beneficial on our life. At 0, the planet is totally inauspicious in our life.
Ashtakabarga strength gives us a more definitive indication of how the planet will behave in its transit and in its association with other planets in the chart.
Overall net scores obtained for individual planets with respect to different status of each planet in the chart summarized in Table A, as well as each planet is tested for retrograde status, Vargottama status, combust status and whether the planet is hemmed between benefic planets or malefic planets.
It has been also tested for whether the planet is receiving a beneficial aspect for other planets in the chart.
The last column indicates the overall Net score of each planet in the chart. The overall net score helps us to make the final judgment about each other planet in our chart.
Their auspicious and inauspicious nature and what will be the extent of their impact in our life. This also helps us to formulate and recommend specific astrological remedies.

Comments of planet Score
The methodology that we have given above in deciding the points to be attributed for different status of each planet is not sacrosanct.
Relative weight has been given for each good and bad parameters of the planet. The calculation which has worked the report makes it easy to calculate.
But it is necessary for the astrologer to make the final judgment about each planet in the chart by looking at the points and the specific chart as well as based on the inputs received from the person. I shall now provide my final judgment about each planet in the ordinary chart.
Sun:
The sun being in a water sign is giving mixed results. A good VB and SB help the native to acquire good qualities from his educated family.
Moon:
The moon having good ashta varga gives the natives good jobs but the moons challenging status makes him leave jobs. Stress also causes health problems
Mars:
Mars gives mixed results, does cause him to get angry and loose strength by using excessive muscle power. It causes problems in love life being manglik.
Mercury:
Mercury’s excellent status helps him obtain good education, being retrograde the native is determined, the native has sales skills and a pleasing personality. Mercury being the Lagna lord and 4th Lord being placed in the 3rd house with 8th and 9th lord Saturn gives him courage, Spirituality and good fortune.
Jupiter:
Jupiter’s outstanding status as result of being exalted vargottama provides the resources necessary, however suffering from kendradipati dosa the person remains in happy places.
Venus:
Venus is extremely challenging, as a result he person is not married till now and doesn’t bear kids. Relationships are difficult due to issues with mother being beaten as a child. Venus being hemmed between Malefics causes problems related to women and blame. However being the 5th lord and having directional strength in the 4th house which gives shada bala strength
Saturn:
Saturn would give mixed results as a result of lordships of 8th and 9th house.
Rahu:
Rahu would be responsible for spiritual development of the person.
Ketu:
Ketu status being moolatrikona would act like mars for career and would also help in visits to holy shrines.
1.5) House Table:
A house is influenced by the planet that is located in the house, and the planet which is the Lord of that house and also the planets which aspect the house. Further each house has a planet, which is its natural signifier. All these factors finally contribute to the strength of each house in the chart.

1.6) Different Aspects of life and the natal promise
Physical characteristics:
Physical characteristics are primarily dependent the Ascendant characteristics in birth chart. However the Moon – sign as well as Zodiac Sun-sign will also have influence as well as planets located or aspecting the ascendant.
His ascendant sign is Gemini, it’s a dual as well as air sign ruled by Mercury. He will have a tall stature. He should be stocky and have a round face. His features would not be sharp or angular. He will have an attractive personality for mercury is placed with Saturn in the sign of Leo. Jupiter placed in his second house exalted makes him obese.
Mental Characteristics:
Being a dual sign he is not limited to the body and senses, they are ethereal and for them both mind and body exist. They don’t have nurturing or organizing capabilities like fixed signs or action abilities like that of cardinal signs. They have much greater power of analysis and synthesis. Intellect or application of intelligence and knowledge and wisdom are their forte.
They have good intellect, excellent power of speech and communication and good command over language. Yogakarka Venus makes him extremely romantic, emotional and sentimental. Mercury along with natural malefic Saturn makes him courageous in a good way.
Profession and Core Competence:
10th house is the house of profession in the horoscope in his ascendant chart. The 10th house Pisces which is ruled by Jupiter. Ketu is placed in the 10th house. Mars, Venus and Rahu aspect the 10th house. The 10th lord Jupiter is exalted in the navamsa in cancer. Jupiter the planet located in the 2nd house which is the house of wealth in Bhav or chalit chart is located in the Ascendant. Mercury in the navamsa is located in the 4th house. Venus being in mercury’s sign in the Birth chart as well as mercury being in Venus sign in the navamsa makes the person good in sales. The native has been in Fmcg as well as property sales. The native’s logical and analytical ability is high which makes him good at numbers. Jupiter would probably lead him towards a career in the field of medicine. Ketu made the native try his hand in exports. Venus being 12th lord and aspecting 10th house always made him challenge the authority of women in the workplace in today’s modern world. A successful sales and marketing career looks promising fir the individual with his powerful communication skills. The native would identify his true vocation in this new country and will excel in applying technology to traditional business or profession.
Money Property and Income:
For this we will analyze both the 2nd house and 11th house primarily as well as the 5th house, and whether there is any Dhana yoga in the chart or not or the opposite yoga for destruction of wealth. If we analyze this chart, in his house table you will observe that both second and 11th house in his chart are strong and powerful. Further lord of the 2nd house moon is placed in the 6th house debilitated which means the wealth would enhance slowly as 6th house is an upchaya house. The 11th house lord Mars is placed with the 5th lord Venus in the 4th house which constitutes a strong Dhana yoga. But there are opposites also, if you observe the position of the sun, it is placed in the 2nd house of wealth aspecting the 8th house. This can lead to several interpretations. 8th house lord Saturn with lagna lord mercury which is the dispositor of the Mars-Venus Dhana yoga, he can gain wealth from unexpected sources, like inheritance, lottery and stock market. It can also mean he can earn wealth through occult subjects like astrology etc. The reverse is also possible that whatever wealth he accumulates will get destroyed and he will not be retaining any wealth or property in his life. The person gained a lot of wealth and luck due to women but squandered it on extravagance. The native is supported by a supportive father and mother.
Romance and Married Life:
5th house in chart signifies Romance life. The house table indicates 5th house is good. 5th house is weak in one sense so far as ashtabarga (0) and bhavabal is concerned. But its lord is severely affected by the conjunction of Mars and Rahu. 11th lord Mars and 5th lord Venus are in yudhabala. Rahu and Mars combination will give him many relationships with the opposite sex, but they may not be ‘rightful relationship’. He may have many one-night stands, immoral and amoral relationship which will not necessarily lead to peace and happiness in life. These will eventually lead to divorce and separation in life.
As per his house table, it indicates that 7th house will be difficult house in his life, as ashtabarga strength is good and weak bhavabal. The 7th lord is exalted which indicates multiple relationships. His Girlfriend was very stubborn and caused him to be subservient which caused him stress, him leaving his job and the relationship breaking up.
Parents and siblings:
From the birth chart what you can indicate is the general relationship and how their influence will be in your life. For specific core cat about them, you have to consult their individual birth charts.
The 4th house in the chart indicates mother, motherland, your mental peace etc. in this chart, the 4th house is challenging. What you can say about his relationship with his mother will be challenging. His moon is located in a water sign of Scorpio, his mother is nurturing yet he has unresolved issues with mother as a result of him being beaten in childhood, yet he is considered a mama’s boy.
For father we usually we examine the 9th house in the chart. His 9th house is Aquarius whose lord is Saturn, placed in the 3rd house aspecting its moolatrikona Aquarius. Aquarius is the natural 11th house; his father helps fulfill all his desires. He also has a guru who teaches him meditation and the kundalini vidya. He has a good relationship with his father and a tough relationship with his guru and teachers as Jupiter the karaka for teachers is an exalted badhak.On the brighter side his guru made him tough and increased his endurance, resistance and immunity towards the world. He taught him there is no right or wrong in life, what may be right for someone may be wrong for another.
Progeny:
Progeny relationship and happiness is analyzed from them 5th house. The 5th house in his chart is good. The lord of the 5th house is combined with Mars and Rahu. This conjunction is good for non-life things like dhanayoga, career etc. he will be very supportive as far as material requirements for his children is concerned. But when it comes to emotional bonding, you can safely forecast that his relation with his first child will not be close at all. When it comes to the second child for which we will also have to analyze the 7th house. Because the 7th house is 3rd from the 5th house, which is then the house of sibling for the first child, is challenging in his chart. His second child will be a cause of lot of concern as far as he is concerned. Again specific forecast about them has to make from their individual chart. Again the placement of Rahu and Mars with the 5th lord along with Venus indicates not many children. There may be both a son and a daughter, due to the placement if a strong mars. There will be one daughter due to placement of favorable Rahu with Venus.
Heath and longevity:
Health has to be determined by strength of the 1st house, the lord of the ascendant and also the aspects of planets on 7th house. From the house strength of his first house, we see it is most challenging. The shadbal of the lord of the Ascendant Mercury is mixed. 1st house receives no aspects. The ascendant lord is placed in the 3rd house with Saturn gave him some illness related to breathing, voice, he got spasms and ceseasures. As a result of lack of drinking water, he became fatigued probably causing irregular functioning of the kidneys and liver.
To summarize we can say that the person would have chronic health problems in his life. The vimsopak bal of the 1st house being good and the shada bala of the 6th house lord Mars being ok the person would recover steadily and overcome obstacles with the help of medical treatment.
1.7) longevity calculations
There are several methods to calculate longevity. Remember Vedic astrology gives us excellent quantitative tools for calculation. The most reliable of them is the Jaimini method. For this you not only need to know the lagna chart but you must also have the hora lagna. Hora lagna is the ascendant rising at the time of sunrise on the date and place of his birth.
I will now give you the basis of jaimini method of Longevity calculation.
Find out:
i) Location of Lagnesh
ii) Location of 8th lord
iii) Sign occupied by moon
iv) Ascendant sign
v) Hora lagna
See their placement in signs. The following table indicates life span:
A Lord of lagna in Lord of 8th in Life span

c Fixed sign Fixed sign

Note:
a) The same result arrived at by any two of the A,B, C charts shall be conclusive
b) If the results in all the three are different, the result shown by ‘C’ shall prevail; but if moon is posited in either lagna or 7th the result indicate by B prevails.
c) If Jupiter is in lagna or 7th, unaspected by malefics, short life result may be increased to medium and medium to long life.
Short life is alpayu up to 45 years, Medium life is madhayu upto 75 years and long life is poornayu, which goes beyond 80 years
Now coming back to his chart:
A) Lord of the Ascendant Mercury is in Leo, which is Fixed sign. Lord of the 8th house Saturn is in Leo which is also a fixed sign.
The conclusion is “Short life Span” by procedure A
B) Ascendant sign is Gemini, which is a Common sign. Moon-Sign is Scorpio which is also a Common Sign.
The conclusion is Medium life Span
C) The Ascendant sign is Gemini, which is Common sign. The Hora lagna in his chart is Taurus, which is a Fixed sign.
The conclusion is Long life Span.
Since all three methods show different results, method C will be taken into account and the conclusion is Long life Span.
Hence longevity as per his natal promise is long life span or purnayu, this in today’s medical concept goes beyond 80 years.
Now he is 34 years of age and if we want to fine tune this conclusion we must look at the Maraka dasha of the planet. Mark means fatal, and Marak Dasha is fatal Dasha as per Dasha table.
For Gemini ascendant the fatal planets are Jupiter, Mars.
2nd house and 7th house are supposed to be Marak houses in the chart. 2nd house is 7th house from the 8th house and 7th house is 7th from the first house.
Now 8th house is the hour of longevity. The 8th from 8th house, which is 3rd house, is house of longevity as per Bhabatwa Bhawam principle explained earlier.
2nd house is 12th from the 3rd hence it is Marak house. 12th house is house of loss and it signifies the destruction of the 3rd house.
Similarly 7th house is 12th house from 8th house, the house of longevity, hence it is Marak House.
Lord of 2nd house and Lord of 7th are therefore Marak planets and their periods/sub-periods are Maraka periods.
Similarly planets located in the 2nd house and the 8th house will also attain Marak qualifications specially the two nodes of Rahu and
Apart from these, 12th house lord is also a marak planet because 12th house is 12th from 1st signifying a person’s life in general.in some cases 6th house lord will also have Maraka status because 6th house is house of diseases and obstacles.
Now in ordinary persons chart the ascendant being Gemini, Jupiter and Mars are considered to be strong Maraka planets.
Now Maraka dasha has to be defined after the life span has been decided. A person may experience Marak dasha as per his chart at an early age but if the life span is more, then that dasha cannot be his Maraka Dasha.
In our case, no doubt Jupiter will be the last Dasha in the person’s life. His life span is long and it can be anywhere beyond 80 years of age as per todays norm.
Now if we examine his dasha system, he is presently experiencing main period of Venus and sub period of Ketu. The next maha dasha will be of the sun starting August 2012. He will be 34 years of age. We couldn’t consider that as a Maraka Dasha for him.
However one must calculate longevity for any chart, but whether we should mention it or not will depend whether your client is insisting to know the same or not and also whether he / she is mentally strong and prepared to accept the information as per astrologers judgment.
Because the fundamental ethics of an astrologer is to give hope and positive messages to his client and not to pronounce death sentences or to display his knowledge.
If you see that a person Marak dasha is imminent, you should caution him about his health and also advise him to complete his tasks, duties, and responsibilities to the best of your knowledge.
1.8) Jupiter exaltation
Luck is in abundance in your life. Your career will be blesses with fame and success. Success in all you endeavors will be natural as well as fame, honour and wealth. You will have good eyesight and hearing power. Success would come your way in foreign land.
1.10) Some natal karmic indicators as per ashtabarga chart
These indicators should be considered as indicative only and not definitive. Definitive conclusions can only be given when all factors are included along with Dasha Vichar in the Chart:
Best part if your life:
As per Vedic astrology your ascendant is: Gemini
According to the analysis of your chart the Middle phase of your life will be the best phase of your life. During this phase you will enjoy your days and will gain happiness from different areas of your life.
According to the analysis of your chart the First and Final phase of your life will be Okay and will have normal ups and downs. During this phase you will enjoy your life but may also face some obstacles. These problems may be related to different aspects of your life.
Best Direction in his Life
According to the analysis of your chart the direction East, South would be most beneficial for you to pursue your vocation or take any opportunity that knocks the door of your destiny.
According to the analysis of your chart the direction North would be most challenging for you. So, it is best to avoid this direction. Your effort in this direction may not provide you fruitful result.
Effort to Reward ratio in his chart:
There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
The first group are very lucky that whatever efforts they make they actually get greater rewards and recognition for their efforts compared to other people. This means they are lucky to reap more than what they sow.
There are second group of people, they reap in exact proportion to what they sow.
Finally the third group is somewhat unlucky, in spite of their best efforts the reward and recognition they get are not commensurate with their efforts. They reap less than what they sow.
We call this reward to effort ratio in the chart and is computed by dividing the 11th house ashtabarga strength with the ashtabarga strength of 10th house.
Your 10th house score is: 25
Your 11th house score is: 37
Reward to effort ratio in your chart is 1.43
Therefore, the karmic indication in your chart is such that you will always get higher reward than what you deserve. But this does not mean that you will receive reward without any efforts. Hence, you should be consistent in your efforts and it will definitely help you to gain great success in life.
Employment or business is suitable in his chart:
According to the analysis of your chart you are suitable for business and you will excel in it.

Planets, Nature and Rulership
Nature and Ruler-ship of Planets
Planets: Planets are large moving bodies in the universe. Ancient sages saw a relationship between movement of planets and happenings in the lives of human beings. “Vishnu has incarnated as navagrahas or planets to bestow on living beings the results of their Karmas.”
Vedic astrology considers 7 planets (Grahas) and 2 Nodes (chayagrahas). Planets are Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Rahu and Ketu are not planets but Nodes or the intersecting points between the orbits of Sun and Moon in relation to the Earth. Rahu is the ascending node while Ketu is descending node.
Vedic astrology does not use the out planets viz. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, which are used by western astrologers.
Governance: Sun governs soul, Moon mind, Mars strength, Mercury speech, Jupiter knowledge and happiness, Venus semen and Saturn sorrow.
Planetary Cabinet: Sun and Moon are considered Royal Planets. Sun being treated like King and Moon like queen. Mars is the Army Chief and Mercury the prince. Jupiter and Venus are Ministers whereas Saturn is the servant; Rahu and Ketu are soldiers of the army.
Basic nature: Moon (waxing-shukla paksha), Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are basically benefic. Sun, Moon (waning-krishna paksha), Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are malefic by nature. Functional nature of each will depend on the houses rued by them, which in turn depend on the Asc or Lagna of the native.
Functional Nature: Planets ruling Trines (1,5,9) are always Benefic. Planets ruling Trishadayas, malefic houses (3,6,11) are always Malefic. Planets ruling Kendras (4,7,10) reverse their basic nature i.e. Benefic turn Malefic and vise-a-versa. Planets like Venus and Jupiter become highly malefic when owning Kendras (Kendradhipati dosha). “It is said in Laghu Parashari, if I remember right; that Guru and Venus give bad results when owning Kendra with Venus being more inimical.”..Chandrashekharji
Rulers of 8th and 12th house have the malefic qualities of being dushthana lords. 12th house however is considered weak and hence some consider this lordship to be neutral. 2nd lord is also considered as ‘neutral’.
Neutrality needs to be qualified here! BPHS states that these planets give effects as per their association or according to the second house lordship. If the second house owned is malefic e.g. 3, 6 or 11, the planet becomes more malefic. On the other hand if it is 1, 5 or 9, it is more benefic.
This however may be truer for lords of 2 and 12, houses, which do not have strength of their own. “Stronger of the 2 lordship obstructs the weaker and gives its own effect”. Lordship of 8th however appears to carry its dosha even if the other house ownership is benefic! A malefic planet with Kendra and 8th lordship will continue to be a functional malefic and with trine and 8th lordship will at best be sama.
Sun and Moon are exceptions, they do not attract 8th house lordship dosha. If lords of 8th they would function more as per their association.
Cancellation of Kendradhipati Dosha: if the Kendra lord is associated with a lord of trine the dosha gets cancelled. Association could be by lording a trine house (including lagna, which is considered a trine), joining a trine or a trine lord, has sambandha with a trine lord. It is also cancelled if the planet is its own house. “The placement of Natural benefics in quadrants removes the blemish of kendradhipatya dosha.”..SR
Yogakarka: YK planets are capable of producing auspicious results. Planet that rules a quadrant and a trine at the same time also qualifies to be a YK. 1st house is a tine as well as a quadrant and hence lagna lord is a natural Yogakarka.
Trine lord combining Yoga karaka also gets a status as yoga karaka, notwithstanding its status as 8th lord. Inimical planet also gets status of Yoga karaka having sambandha with trine lords, by aspect, and placed in a quadrant.
Rulership: Sun and Moon rule one Rasi each, whereas the other 5 planets rule 2 rasis each. Sun rules Leo, Moon rules Cancer, Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces, Venus rules Taurus and Libra and Saturn Capricorn and Aquarius.
Some consider Rahu to be the co-lord of Aquarius and Ketu the co-lord of Scorpio. Some authorities consider Rahu as co-lord of Libra and Ketu as co-lord of Pisces.
Movements: Sun and Moon have only direct movements whereas the nodes Rahu and Ketu have only Retrograde movement. Others viz: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus would have both the movements.
Retrograde means backward movement. Planets actually do not move backwards, they only appear to be doing so when seen from Earth. This therefore does not apply to Sun around which the earth is moving in uni-direction and Moon, which is moving around the Earth also in uni-direction.
Sex of Planets: Sun, Mars and Jupiter are considered Male, Moon and Venus are considered Female whereas Saturn and Mercury are considered Neutral.
Abodes: Sun signifies places of worships or temples. Moon watery places like lakes, ponds, rivers etc, Mars fire places like kitchen, Mercury sports grounds, Jupiter treasures, and Venus signifies places of sexual pleasures like bedroom and Saturn filthy places.
Gunas: Sun, Moon and Jupiter have Satwik gunas, Mars and Venus have Rajsik gunas and Mercury and Saturn have Tamasik gunas. Strength of planets in a native’s chart will reflect the qualities of the person.
Planetary Castes: Jupiter and Venus are Brahmins, Sun and Mars are Kshatriya, Moon and Mercury are Vaishya and Saturn belongs to Shudra Caste/ Varna.
Tatva: Planets are also associated with different tatvas. Sun and Mars signify Fire or Agni, Moon and Venus Jala, Mercury Bhumi, Jupiter Sky and Saturn Vayu. Sky covers all the four tatvas.
Complexion: Different planets symbolize different colors. Sun symbolizes “Raktashyama” i.e. red with black or Dark tint, Mars “ Kujo rakto” i.e. blood red, Moon Tawny or fair complexion, Mercury green, Jupiter Tawny yellow, Venus variegated mix of yellow and green, Saturn dark, Rahu black and Ketu variegated.
Physical Characteristics: Natives with Sun’s influence on Lagna will be squarish, not too tall, honey colored eyes and limited hair. Moon will have round face, beautiful eyes, and curly and short hair. Mars will have strong physique, red eyes and thin shining hair. Mercury will have an attractive physique. Jupiter will have large body, broad chest and big belly, honey eyes and hair. Venus has charming features, long hands, symmetrical limbs, beautiful, brilliant and broad eyes and curly hair. Saturn represents emaciated and long body, prominent veins, long nails, blackish color, depressed eyes and coarse hair.
Personality: Sun’s influence on personality makes the native manly, intelligent, sharp mind and clean habits. Moon makes a person fickle minded and lustful. Mars is cruel, stands for strength, courage stamina and passion. Mercury is diplomatic, humorous and learned. Jupiter is knowledge and happiness, Venus is joyous, beautiful, poetic and intelligent and Saturn is indolent and lame if strong it can be mystic and philosophical.
Speech/ Voice: Sun signifies Majestic voice, Moon sweet and soft, Mars forceful and clear, Mercury sweet, witty and clear and Jupiter loud.
Body Ingredients: Sun controls Bones, Moon blood, Mars Marrow, Mercury skin, Jupiter fat, Venus semen and Saturn muscles. Any affliction of a planet may reflect in corresponding affliction on the native’s body.
Body Components: Sun and Mars represent Pitta, Jupiter and Venus Kalpha, Moon and Saturn Vata and Mercury represents all three. Afflictions would indicate the kind of illness and may help in recommending remedies.
Periods: Planets are also associated with different periods. Saturn with Varsha, Sun with Ayna (half year), Mercury with Ritu (2 months), Jupiter Masa (month), Venus Paksha (15 days), Mars a day, Moon muhurta (48 minutes) and also Kshana (second), Rahu 8 months and Ketu 3 months. These periods are used to predict fructifications of events within a time span.
Seasons: There are six seasons in a year each of 2 months. Sun and Mars are associated with Greeshma, Moon with Varsha, Mercury Sharad, Jupiter Hemant, Venus Basant and Saturn with Shishir.
Incarnations: Rama is the incarnation of Sun, Krishna of Moon, Narasimha of Mars, Buddha of Mercury, Vamana of Jupiter, Parshurama that of Venus, Koorma of Saturn, Varaha of Rahu and Meena that of Ketu.
Balas (strength): There are six most important Balas of Planets. These are Sthana Bala, Dig bala, Chesta Bala, Kala Bala and Drik Bala and Naisargikabala. Planets acquiring these Balas are considered powerful, absence of strength renders them weak. Planet acquiring strength from all four, posited in 5th produces sampoorna (par excellence) results.
Sthana Balas: This is the positional strength, which a planet gets as a result of occupying a particular house/Rashi in a horoscope. A planet gets sthanabala in its exaltation, own house, mooltrikona friendly house and swa-shadvargas. Details of exaltation, mooltrikona and debilitation are given below.
Directional Strengths (Dig Bala): Mercury and Jupiter are strong in the East (1st), Sun and Mars in South (10th house), Venus and Moon in North (4th) and Saturn in West (7th).
These indicate the direction taken by one in one’s life.
Kala Balas: Moon, mars and Saturn are strong in nighttime whereas Sun, Jupiter and Venus are strong during daytime. Mercury is always strong.
Natural Malefics are strong during Krishna paksha and natural benefics are strong during Shukla paksha.
Mercury, Sun, Saturn, Moon, Venus and Mars are powerful at sunrise, noon, evening, first part of night, midnight and last part of night respectively. Jupiter is always strong. Planets are also powerful on their weekdays, months and years.
Chesta Balas (Motional Strength): Natural malefics are strong in Dakshina ayena (Sun’s transit from Capricorn to Gemini) whereas natural benefics are strong during Uttara ayena (Sun’s transit from Cancer to Sagittarius).
Drik Bala: It is the strength reckoned as a result of aspects. Benefic aspects give full drigbala and aspects of malefics take away the bala.
Naisargika Bala (Natural strength): Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn in that order. Sun is most powerful and Saturn least powerful.
Strength based on placement in Navamsa, Navamshesh: “Similarly the Navamshesh of a planet posited in a bhava also influences the results of a planet. Individual planets derive their strength from their position in Navamsha” …Chandrashekharji
Dwelling Places: Sun, Mars and Saturn live in mountains and forests, moon and Venus in watery places and Jupiter in villages (seats of learned men). Rahu and Ketu also live in mountains and forests.
Tastes: Planets are associated with different tastes too. Sun has pungent, Moon saline, Mars bitter, Mercury mixed, Jupiter sweet, Venus acidulous and Saturn astringent.
Karkas, aspects and planetary relationships
Karakas: Each planet signifies various things. Planets have sthira karkas (fixed significations), Naisargika karkas (natural significations) and Chara Karkas (temporary significations).
Sthira Karkas are used for longevity or survival of the physical bodies, presided by Shiva and used for timing of death of relatives. Nodes are without physical bodies and hence are not included. These karkas are as below:
Sun: Father*
Moon: Mother**
Mars: Younger sibling, spouses of siblings (brother-in-law, sister-in-law)
Mercury: Maternal Uncles and aunts, (Mother**),
Jupiter: Children, Son, Husband (for females), Paternal grand parents, other paternal relatives (uncles and aunts)
Venus: Wife***, Sister, Daughter, father-in-law, mother-in-law, maternal grand parents, (Father*)
Saturn: Elder brother****, other elders
*Some scholars believe Sun to be Karka for father for daytime births and Venus for nighttime births. Jaimini uses stronger of Sun and Venus to determine longevity of the father.
**Moon as Karka for mother for nighttime births and Mars for daytime births. Jaimini associates blood represented by Mars to relationship with mother.
***Some consider Jupiter as Karka for spouse even for male natives.
****Some scholars consider Saturn as Karka for children instead of elder siblings.
Naisargika Karkas: Natural significations are used for general Phalita jyotish. Houses too have their significations. Following table describes the significations for planets and houses in a matrix format. Sthira Karkas too are included so as to show their association with respective houses.
Sun: 1(self, soul, health), 5 (fame, power, paternal grandfather), 9 (father, boss), 10(career, achievement), 12(paternal grandmother)
Moon: 1(mind), 4(mother and peace of mind), 7(maternal grandmother, 11(friends), 12(maternal grandfather, sleep)
Mars: 3 (courage and siblings), 4 (land, real estate), 5(nyaya shashtra, speculation), 6(enemies, diseases, accidents, loans)
Mercury: 2 (speech), 3(writing), 4 (formal education, learning), 5(memory, scholarship), 6 (relatives), 7 (trade), 10(work, achievements, honors), 11(credits)
Jupiter: 2(family, wealth), 4 (traditional learning, happiness) sukha karka, 5(children, suns, knowledge, intelligence), 9 (dharma, bhagya, guru, diksha), 11 (elder brother, labha), 12(donation, heaven)
Venus: 3(art), 4 (vehicles, luxuries) vahana karka, 5 (love, affection), 7(wife, husband, relationships, 9 (long distance travel), 12(sexual/ bed pleasures, long journeys, eyesight)
Saturn: 5(followings), 6(service, servants, agriculture, physical pain), 8(longevity, disease), 9(past life), 12(losses, punishment, confinement, expenditure)
Rahu: 6(accidents), 8(occult, destruction of mind, ill-fame, destruction of soul), 9(travel abroad, cause of rebirth), 12(misfortune, bad habits, secret enemies)
Ketu: 4 (home and building), 8 (occult, disease), 9 (spiritualism, travel abroad), 12(meditation, moksha)
Chara Karkas: Temporary significators are based on longitudes of each planet in a chart. Amongst the nodes, only Rahu is assigned the signification. Planet with the highest longitude is Atma Karka, next highest is Atmaya Karka and so on as per the list below. Since Rahu moves retro its longitude needs to be deducted from 30 to check its correct advancement!
Atma Karka: Self
Atmya Karka: Ministers
Bhratru Karka: Siblings
Matru Karka: Mother
Pitri Karka: Father
Putra Karka: Children
Gnati Karka: Rivals
Dara Karka: Spouse
If 2 planets attain the same longitude, they become joint karka, the next slot falls vacant which is to be filled in by the natural significator.
Some consider 7 planet scheme, bring in Rahu only when 2 planets obtain same longitude. In case of 7 planet scheme, Matrukarka and Putra karka are combined. Some consider 7 karakas as additional information.
Both Parasara and Jaimini however recommend the 8 planet scheme of charakarka.
Aspects - Full (Purna Drishti): Graha drishti is an expression of desires*. Drishti or sight is ability to influence/decipher the reading of other bodies (signs or planets) stationed at certain position from them.
All planets fully aspect 7th house. Mars additionally aspects 4 and 8th (chaturasra house) Jupiter 5th and 9th (houses that indicate poorva punya) Saturn 3rd and 10th (upchaya houses). These are outer planets placed at a relative height above the earth. There is difference of opinion about Rahu’s aspects. Some believe that Rahu has aspects over 7(opposite like others), 5 &9 (houses that indicate poorva papa) and 12th (counted in reverse) or 2nd (counted in regular order) houses. Ketu is headless and hence has no aspects.
None of the planets can aspect 2nd or 12th house except for Rahu who can see 2nd i.e. 12th counted in reverse.
No planets can aspect 6th or 11th since these are places of Danda and Hara respectively. Danda stands for punishment and Hara for removal from this planet. No planet would desire punishment or removal from this planet. Ketu alone creates the desire of removal from this planet and hence is Moksha Karka. It however does not have any drishti.
*Rashi drishti, which is not covered in detail is an expression of knowledge.
Exaltation/Debilitation: Planets perform well in some Rashis because are happy or elated to be there. These signs are called signs of exaltation. Opposite of that is debilitation. Planets are considered to have fallen (neecha) in such Rashis. Apart from that some Rashis are friendly or inimical for some planets.
Sun is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra. Moon is exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Scorpio, Mars exalted in Capricorn and debilitated in Cancer, Mercury exalted in Virgo and debilitated in Pisces, Jupiter exalted in Cancer and debilitated in Capricorn, Venus exalted in Pisces and debilitated in Virgo and Saturn is exalted in Libra and debilitated in Aries.
Rahu is exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Sagittarius whereas Ketu is exalted in Sagittarius and debilitated in Taurus.
Paramochha and parama nechha sthanas are as follows; these are the points of maximum exaltation or debilitation.
Planets Ex Deb
Sun Aries (10) Libra (10)
Moon Taurus (3) Scorpio (3)
Mars Capricorn (28) Cancer (28)
Mercury Virgo (15) Pisces (15)
Jupiter Cancer (5) Capricorn (5)
Venus Pisces (27) Virgo (27)
Saturn Libra (20) Aries (20)
Houses owned by exalted planets will flourish whereas those owned by debilitated planets will be destroyed. Planet in debility can also ruin others conjunct with it, even if they are exalted!
However, a debilitated planet can attain neechbhanga (cancellation of debility) if either of the following is placed in Kendra from lagna/ moon:
• Lord of sign of debility
• Lord of signs opposite the sign of debility (lord of exaltation signs)
• Planet that gets exalted in the sign of debility
• Debilitated planet, exalted in Navamsa
Note: “There also one more thing, Moon, when in full paksha bala (Poornima ) gives good results even if debilitated.”…Chandrashekharji
Mooltrikona: There is another important position (range of degrees in a Rashi) where a planet functions well. For Sun it is 0-20 in Leo, Moon 0-20 Taurus, Mars 0-12 Aries, Mercury 15-20 Virgo, Jupiter 0-10 Sagittarius, Venus 0-15 Libra and Saturn it is 0-20 Aquarius.
Marna Karka Sthana: Following are the Marna Karka Sthanas for various planets.
Planet MKS Naisargika Karka for houseLikely Hazards from:
Sun 12 Saturn Fire
Moon 8 Saturn Water
Mars 7 Venus Accidents, Weapons
Mercury 7 Venus Flatulence
Jupiter 3 Mars Stomach problems
Venus 6 Mars Accidents, Opposite sex
Saturn 1 Sun
Rahu 9 Jupiter Venomous bites
Ketu has no MKS.
Planets in MKS will affect the significations of houses owned by them adversely during their dasa. These positions are capable of causing death like suffering. When such a death inflictor is in conjunction with or is aspected by malefic or is in debility, great grief is sure to come.
Friendly/ Enemy Planets:
Natural (Naisargika) Relationship: From Mooltrikona sign of a planet the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 12th sign is the sign of a friendly planet and the rest i.e. 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th are signs of enemies. Being friend based on one set and enemy based on another, would make a planet neutral.
Planet Friendly Enemy
Sun Moon, Mars, Jupiter Venus, Saturn
Moon Sun, Mercury
Mars Sun, Moon, Jupiter Mercury
Mercury Sun, Venus Moon
Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars Mercury, Venus
Venus Mercury, Saturn Mars, Jupiter
Saturn Mercury, Venus Sun, Moon, Mars
Placement in Rashis ruled by friendly planets makes the occupying planet stronger whereas in Rashis ruled by enemy planets make the occupying planets weaker. Same is the case when friendly or enemy planets aspect another planet.
Temporary (Tatkalik) Relationship: Planets situated in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th and 12th act as mutual friends. The others act as enemies.
Compound relationship: Planets who happen to be Natural as well as Temporary friends are extreme friends. Similarly enemies become extreme enemies. Neutrality and friendship makes friends whereas neutrality and enmity makes the planets enemy. Other combinations would result into neutral relationship.
Myths associated with Naisargika relationships: Ketu (Ganesha) treats Sun (Shiva) as enemy but Sun treats him as a friend. Story of Ganesha guarding the dwara while his mother was taking bath is well known.
Ketu (Ganesha) is the favorite of Moon (Gauri).
Sun and Saturn do not like each other though Saturn is Sun’s son. The story of Saturn being born to Chaya who lived with Sun w/o his knowledge shows the reason for Sun’s dislike for Saturn and Saturn’s dislike because the father gave him up!
Sandhi: Planets in Bhava Sandhi are incapable of influencing the houses they are placed in. Planets in Bhava Sandhi cause disease and sorrow.
Planets in Rashi Sandhi suffer annihilation especially when the ruling elements of the adjoining signs are inimical e.g, Fire (Aries) and Water (Pisces). Such a sandhi is called Gandanta.
Rashi Sandhi destroys the houses lorded planets in Sandhi. Planets in Rashi Sandhi can cause death. Rashi Sandhi generally affects the people (Physical Bodies) indicated by the lordship of the planet. This need not indicate destruction of other non-living indications of the house.
Aspects by Malefics:
Saturn: It is considered one of the most malefic planets. It is known to teach lessosn regarless of status of the native. Its aspects on various bhavas spoil the significations of the bhava. Its aspect on Rashi can give ailments to body parts signified by the rashi.
Saturn however stands for longevity. “Its aspects can give long life to bhavas, but if it conjoins a house, its longevity is curtailed.” COVA
Mars:
Malefic Enemies in conjunction:
Malefic Enemies in conjunction or 1/7th from each other cause trouble in the house whether they are placed. For example following yogas are dangerous and shall harm the house where they are placed.
Sun-Saturn
Mars-Saturn
Rahu-Sun
Rahu-Mars etc.
Graha Yudha:
If a planet is associated with an inimical planet, planetary war occurs and enmity increases during its dasa period. Planet with higher longitude is victorious even if debilitated.
“Grahayuddha is said to have occurred when planets occupy the same Rasi on identical degrees. The one to the South is said to have lost the war but Venus is said to win whether to the north or South. There are different interpretation of what is meant by North or South.” Chandrashekharji
Dasa Periods:
Dasa means “period”. Ones lifetime is divided into several periods, sub-periods, sub-sub-periods and so on. These are ruled by different planets or rashis. Planets and Rashis give results in their respective periods. Vimsottari is the most popular dasa system based on Nakhshtra occupied by Moon at the time of birth.
Under Vimsottari dasa system dasa periods of different planets are as under:
Sun 6
Moon 10
Mars 7
Rahu 18
Jupiter 16
Saturn 19
Mercury 17
Ketu 7
Venus 20
Some of the planet related general dictums that are relevant to dasas are mentioned below:
1. fructification of good or bad yogas and extent of such fruits are dependent on strength of the planets.
1. sources of strength will indicate the directions from which the results will come. Sources which are weak will show the area of suffering.
2. weak planet will diseases/decay to the house it owns. Especially during the period of planets that cause such weaknesses.
3. planets affect the kendras and trine houses. Therefore during dasa of malefic apart from the significatons of the houses of placement significations of kendras as well as trines will suffer. E.g. if Sturn is placed in 2nd, significations of 2 (house of placement), 5,8,11 (kendras from 2nd) and 6, 10(trine from 2nd) will also suffer. Unless the house is owned by Saturn.
4. significations of houses aspected by the dasa planet will also prosper or suffer depending on benefance or maleficanc of the planet. In the above example 4,8,11 (3,7,10th aspects) will also suffer during the Saturn dasa.
Stones/ Gems: Ruby strengthens Sun, Pearl Moon, Coral Mars, Emerald Mercury, Topaz Jupiter, Diamond Venus and Sapphire Saturn. Wearing of stones or Gems is often recommended to strengthen weak planets that have the potential to give benefic results.
Note that may be useful to beginners

Planets: Planets are large moving bodies in the universe. Ancient sages saw a relationship between movement of planets and happenings in the lives of human beings. “Vishnu has incarnated as navagrahas or planets to bestow on living beings the results of their Karmas.”
Vedic astrology considers 7 planets (Grahas) and 2 Nodes (chayagrahas). Planets are Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Rahu and Ketu are not planets but Nodes or the intersecting points between the orbits of Sun and Moon in relation to the Earth. Rahu is the ascending node while Ketu is descending node.
Vedic astrology does not use the out planets viz. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, which are used by western astrologers.
Governance: Sun governs soul, Moon mind, Mars strength, Mercury speech, Jupiter knowledge and happiness, Venus semen and Saturn sorrow.
Planetary Cabinet: Sun and Moon are considered Royal Planets. Sun being treated like King and Moon like queen. Mars is the Army Chief and Mercury the prince. Jupiter and Venus are Ministers whereas Saturn is the servant; Rahu and Ketu are soldiers of the army.
Basic nature: Moon (waxing-shukla paksha), Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are basically benefic. Sun, Moon (waning-krishna paksha), Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are malefic by nature. Functional nature of each will depend on the houses rued by them, which in turn depend on the Asc or Lagna of the native.
Functional Nature: Planets ruling Trines (1,5,9) are always Benefic. Planets ruling Trishadayas, malefic houses (3,6,11) are always Malefic. Planets ruling Kendras (4,7,10) reverse their basic nature i.e. Benefic turn Malefic and vise-a-versa. Planets like Venus and Jupiter become highly malefic when owning Kendras (Kendradhipati dosha). “It is said in Laghu Parashari, if I remember right; that Guru and Venus give bad results when owning Kendra with Venus being more inimical.”..Chandrashekharji
Rulers of 8th and 12th house have the malefic qualities of being dushthana lords. 12th house however is considered weak and hence some consider this lordship to be neutral. 2nd lord is also considered as ‘neutral’.
Neutrality needs to be qualified here! BPHS states that these planets give effects as per their association or according to the second house lordship. If the second house owned is malefic e.g. 3, 6 or 11, the planet becomes more malefic. On the other hand if it is 1, 5 or 9, it is more benefic.
This however may be truer for lords of 2 and 12, houses, which do not have strength of their own. “Stronger of the 2 lordship obstructs the weaker and gives its own effect”. Lordship of 8th however appears to carry its dosha even if the other house ownership is benefic! A malefic planet with Kendra and 8th lordship will continue to be a functional malefic and with trine and 8th lordship will at best be sama.
Sun and Moon are exceptions, they do not attract 8th house lordship dosha. If lords of 8th they would function more as per their association.
Cancellation of Kendradhipati Dosha: if the Kendra lord is associated with a lord of trine the dosha gets cancelled. Association could be by lording a trine house (including lagna, which is considered a trine), joining a trine or a trine lord, has sambandha with a trine lord. It is also cancelled if the planet is its own house. “The placement of Natural benefics in quadrants removes the blemish of kendradhipatya dosha.”..SR
Yogakarka: YK planets are capable of producing auspicious results. Planet that rules a quadrant and a trine at the same time also qualifies to be a YK. 1st house is a tine as well as a quadrant and hence lagna lord is a natural Yogakarka.
Trine lord combining Yoga karaka also gets a status as yoga karaka, notwithstanding its status as 8th lord. Inimical planet also gets status of Yoga karaka having sambandha with trine lords, by aspect, and placed in a quadrant.
Rulership: Sun and Moon rule one Rasi each, whereas the other 5 planets rule 2 rasis each. Sun rules Leo, Moon rules Cancer, Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces, Venus rules Taurus and Libra and Saturn Capricorn and Aquarius.
Some consider Rahu to be the co-lord of Aquarius and Ketu the co-lord of Scorpio. Some authorities consider Rahu as co-lord of Libra and Ketu as co-lord of Pisces.
Movements: Sun and Moon have only direct movements whereas the nodes Rahu and Ketu have only Retrograde movement. Others viz: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus would have both the movements.
Retrograde means backward movement. Planets actually do not move backwards, they only appear to be doing so when seen from Earth. This therefore does not apply to Sun around which the earth is moving in uni-direction and Moon, which is moving around the Earth also in uni-direction.
Sex of Planets: Sun, Mars and Jupiter are considered Male, Moon and Venus are considered Female whereas Saturn and Mercury are considered Neutral.
Abodes: Sun signifies places of worships or temples. Moon watery places like lakes, ponds, rivers etc, Mars fire places like kitchen, Mercury sports grounds, Jupiter treasures, and Venus signifies places of sexual pleasures like bedroom and Saturn filthy places.
Gunas: Sun, Moon and Jupiter have Satwik gunas, Mars and Venus have Rajsik gunas and Mercury and Saturn have Tamasik gunas. Strength of planets in a native’s chart will reflect the qualities of the person.
Planetary Castes: Jupiter and Venus are Brahmins, Sun and Mars are Kshatriya, Moon and Mercury are Vaishya and Saturn belongs to Shudra Caste/ Varna.
Tatva: Planets are also associated with different tatvas. Sun and Mars signify Fire or Agni, Moon and Venus Jala, Mercury Bhumi, Jupiter Sky and Saturn Vayu. Sky covers all the four tatvas.
Complexion: Different planets symbolize different colors. Sun symbolizes “Raktashyama” i.e. red with black or Dark tint, Mars “ Kujo rakto” i.e. blood red, Moon Tawny or fair complexion, Mercury green, Jupiter Tawny yellow, Venus variegated mix of yellow and green, Saturn dark, Rahu black and Ketu variegated.
Physical Characteristics: Natives with Sun’s influence on Lagna will be squarish, not too tall, honey colored eyes and limited hair. Moon will have round face, beautiful eyes, and curly and short hair. Mars will have strong physique, red eyes and thin shining hair. Mercury will have an attractive physique. Jupiter will have large body, broad chest and big belly, honey eyes and hair. Venus has charming features, long hands, symmetrical limbs, beautiful, brilliant and broad eyes and curly hair. Saturn represents emaciated and long body, prominent veins, long nails, blackish color, depressed eyes and coarse hair.
Personality: Sun’s influence on personality makes the native manly, intelligent, sharp mind and clean habits. Moon makes a person fickle minded and lustful. Mars is cruel, stands for strength, courage stamina and passion. Mercury is diplomatic, humorous and learned. Jupiter is knowledge and happiness, Venus is joyous, beautiful, poetic and intelligent and Saturn is indolent and lame if strong it can be mystic and philosophical.
Speech/ Voice: Sun signifies Majestic voice, Moon sweet and soft, Mars forceful and clear, Mercury sweet, witty and clear and Jupiter loud.
Body Ingredients: Sun controls Bones, Moon blood, Mars Marrow, Mercury skin, Jupiter fat, Venus semen and Saturn muscles. Any affliction of a planet may reflect in corresponding affliction on the native’s body.
Body Components: Sun and Mars represent Pitta, Jupiter and Venus Kalpha, Moon and Saturn Vata and Mercury represents all three. Afflictions would indicate the kind of illness and may help in recommending remedies.
Periods: Planets are also associated with different periods. Saturn with Varsha, Sun with Ayna (half year), Mercury with Ritu (2 months), Jupiter Masa (month), Venus Paksha (15 days), Mars a day, Moon muhurta (48 minutes) and also Kshana (second), Rahu 8 months and Ketu 3 months. These periods are used to predict fructifications of events within a time span.
Seasons: There are six seasons in a year each of 2 months. Sun and Mars are associated with Greeshma, Moon with Varsha, Mercury Sharad, Jupiter Hemant, Venus Basant and Saturn with Shishir.
Incarnations: Rama is the incarnation of Sun, Krishna of Moon, Narasimha of Mars, Buddha of Mercury, Vamana of Jupiter, Parshurama that of Venus, Koorma of Saturn, Varaha of Rahu and Meena that of Ketu.
Balas (strength): There are six most important Balas of Planets. These are Sthana Bala, Dig bala, Chesta Bala, Kala Bala and Drik Bala and Naisargikabala. Planets acquiring these Balas are considered powerful, absence of strength renders them weak. Planet acquiring strength from all four, posited in 5th produces sampoorna (par excellence) results.
Sthana Balas: This is the positional strength, which a planet gets as a result of occupying a particular house/Rashi in a horoscope. A planet gets sthanabala in its exaltation, own house, mooltrikona friendly house and swa-shadvargas. Details of exaltation, mooltrikona and debilitation are given below.
Directional Strengths (Dig Bala): Mercury and Jupiter are strong in the East (1st), Sun and Mars in South (10th house), Venus and Moon in North (4th) and Saturn in West (7th).
These indicate the direction taken by one in one’s life.
Kala Balas: Moon, mars and Saturn are strong in nighttime whereas Sun, Jupiter and Venus are strong during daytime. Mercury is always strong.
Natural Malefics are strong during Krishna paksha and natural benefics are strong during Shukla paksha.
Mercury, Sun, Saturn, Moon, Venus and Mars are powerful at sunrise, noon, evening, first part of night, midnight and last part of night respectively. Jupiter is always strong. Planets are also powerful on their weekdays, months and years.
Chesta Balas (Motional Strength): Natural malefics are strong in Dakshina ayena (Sun’s transit from Capricorn to Gemini) whereas natural benefics are strong during Uttara ayena (Sun’s transit from Cancer to Sagittarius).
Drik Bala: It is the strength reckoned as a result of aspects. Benefic aspects give full drigbala and aspects of malefics take away the bala.
Naisargika Bala (Natural strength): Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn in that order. Sun is most powerful and Saturn least powerful.
Strength based on placement in Navamsa, Navamshesh: “Similarly the Navamshesh of a planet posited in a bhava also influences the results of a planet. Individual planets derive their strength from their position in Navamsha” …Chandrashekharji
Dwelling Places: Sun, Mars and Saturn live in mountains and forests, moon and Venus in watery places and Jupiter in villages (seats of learned men). Rahu and Ketu also live in mountains and forests.
Tastes: Planets are associated with different tastes too. Sun has pungent, Moon saline, Mars bitter, Mercury mixed, Jupiter sweet, Venus acidulous and Saturn astringent.
Karkas, aspects and planetary relationships
Karakas: Each planet signifies various things. Planets have sthira karkas (fixed significations), Naisargika karkas (natural significations) and Chara Karkas (temporary significations).
Sthira Karkas are used for longevity or survival of the physical bodies, presided by Shiva and used for timing of death of relatives. Nodes are without physical bodies and hence are not included. These karkas are as below:
Sun: Father*
Moon: Mother**
Mars: Younger sibling, spouses of siblings (brother-in-law, sister-in-law)
Mercury: Maternal Uncles and aunts, (Mother**),
Jupiter: Children, Son, Husband (for females), Paternal grand parents, other paternal relatives (uncles and aunts)
Venus: Wife***, Sister, Daughter, father-in-law, mother-in-law, maternal grand parents, (Father*)
Saturn: Elder brother****, other elders
*Some scholars believe Sun to be Karka for father for daytime births and Venus for nighttime births. Jaimini uses stronger of Sun and Venus to determine longevity of the father.
**Moon as Karka for mother for nighttime births and Mars for daytime births. Jaimini associates blood represented by Mars to relationship with mother.
***Some consider Jupiter as Karka for spouse even for male natives.
****Some scholars consider Saturn as Karka for children instead of elder siblings.
Naisargika Karkas: Natural significations are used for general Phalita jyotish. Houses too have their significations. Following table describes the significations for planets and houses in a matrix format. Sthira Karkas too are included so as to show their association with respective houses.
Sun: 1(self, soul, health), 5 (fame, power, paternal grandfather), 9 (father, boss), 10(career, achievement), 12(paternal grandmother)
Moon: 1(mind), 4(mother and peace of mind), 7(maternal grandmother, 11(friends), 12(maternal grandfather, sleep)
Mars: 3 (courage and siblings), 4 (land, real estate), 5(nyaya shashtra, speculation), 6(enemies, diseases, accidents, loans)
Mercury: 2 (speech), 3(writing), 4 (formal education, learning), 5(memory, scholarship), 6 (relatives), 7 (trade), 10(work, achievements, honors), 11(credits)
Jupiter: 2(family, wealth), 4 (traditional learning, happiness) sukha karka, 5(children, suns, knowledge, intelligence), 9 (dharma, bhagya, guru, diksha), 11 (elder brother, labha), 12(donation, heaven)
Venus: 3(art), 4 (vehicles, luxuries) vahana karka, 5 (love, affection), 7(wife, husband, relationships, 9 (long distance travel), 12(sexual/ bed pleasures, long journeys, eyesight)
Saturn: 5(followings), 6(service, servants, agriculture, physical pain), 8(longevity, disease), 9(past life), 12(losses, punishment, confinement, expenditure)
Rahu: 6(accidents), 8(occult, destruction of mind, ill-fame, destruction of soul), 9(travel abroad, cause of rebirth), 12(misfortune, bad habits, secret enemies)
Ketu: 4 (home and building), 8 (occult, disease), 9 (spiritualism, travel abroad), 12(meditation, moksha)
Chara Karkas: Temporary significators are based on longitudes of each planet in a chart. Amongst the nodes, only Rahu is assigned the signification. Planet with the highest longitude is Atma Karka, next highest is Atmaya Karka and so on as per the list below. Since Rahu moves retro its longitude needs to be deducted from 30 to check its correct advancement!
Atma Karka: Self
Atmya Karka: Ministers
Bhratru Karka: Siblings
Matru Karka: Mother
Pitri Karka: Father
Putra Karka: Children
Gnati Karka: Rivals
Dara Karka: Spouse
If 2 planets attain the same longitude, they become joint karka, the next slot falls vacant which is to be filled in by the natural significator.
Some consider 7 planet scheme, bring in Rahu only when 2 planets obtain same longitude. In case of 7 planet scheme, Matrukarka and Putra karka are combined. Some consider 7 karakas as additional information.
Both Parasara and Jaimini however recommend the 8 planet scheme of charakarka.
Aspects - Full (Purna Drishti): Graha drishti is an expression of desires*. Drishti or sight is ability to influence/decipher the reading of other bodies (signs or planets) stationed at certain position from them.
All planets fully aspect 7th house. Mars additionally aspects 4 and 8th (chaturasra house) Jupiter 5th and 9th (houses that indicate poorva punya) Saturn 3rd and 10th (upchaya houses). These are outer planets placed at a relative height above the earth. There is difference of opinion about Rahu’s aspects. Some believe that Rahu has aspects over 7(opposite like others), 5 &9 (houses that indicate poorva papa) and 12th (counted in reverse) or 2nd (counted in regular order) houses. Ketu is headless and hence has no aspects.
None of the planets can aspect 2nd or 12th house except for Rahu who can see 2nd i.e. 12th counted in reverse.
No planets can aspect 6th or 11th since these are places of Danda and Hara respectively. Danda stands for punishment and Hara for removal from this planet. No planet would desire punishment or removal from this planet. Ketu alone creates the desire of removal from this planet and hence is Moksha Karka. It however does not have any drishti.
*Rashi drishti, which is not covered in detail is an expression of knowledge.
Exaltation/Debilitation: Planets perform well in some Rashis because are happy or elated to be there. These signs are called signs of exaltation. Opposite of that is debilitation. Planets are considered to have fallen (neecha) in such Rashis. Apart from that some Rashis are friendly or inimical for some planets.
Sun is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra. Moon is exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Scorpio, Mars exalted in Capricorn and debilitated in Cancer, Mercury exalted in Virgo and debilitated in Pisces, Jupiter exalted in Cancer and debilitated in Capricorn, Venus exalted in Pisces and debilitated in Virgo and Saturn is exalted in Libra and debilitated in Aries.
Rahu is exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Sagittarius whereas Ketu is exalted in Sagittarius and debilitated in Taurus.
Paramochha and parama nechha sthanas are as follows; these are the points of maximum exaltation or debilitation.
Planets Ex Deb
Sun Aries (10) Libra (10)
Moon Taurus (3) Scorpio (3)
Mars Capricorn (28) Cancer (28)
Mercury Virgo (15) Pisces (15)
Jupiter Cancer (5) Capricorn (5)
Venus Pisces (27) Virgo (27)
Saturn Libra (20) Aries (20)
Houses owned by exalted planets will flourish whereas those owned by debilitated planets will be destroyed. Planet in debility can also ruin others conjunct with it, even if they are exalted!
However, a debilitated planet can attain neechbhanga (cancellation of debility) if either of the following is placed in Kendra from lagna/ moon:
• Lord of sign of debility
• Lord of signs opposite the sign of debility (lord of exaltation signs)
• Planet that gets exalted in the sign of debility
• Debilitated planet, exalted in Navamsa
Note: “There also one more thing, Moon, when in full paksha bala (Poornima ) gives good results even if debilitated.”…Chandrashekharji
Mooltrikona: There is another important position (range of degrees in a Rashi) where a planet functions well. For Sun it is 0-20 in Leo, Moon 0-20 Taurus, Mars 0-12 Aries, Mercury 15-20 Virgo, Jupiter 0-10 Sagittarius, Venus 0-15 Libra and Saturn it is 0-20 Aquarius.
Marna Karka Sthana: Following are the Marna Karka Sthanas for various planets.
Planet MKS Naisargika Karka for houseLikely Hazards from:
Sun 12 Saturn Fire
Moon 8 Saturn Water
Mars 7 Venus Accidents, Weapons
Mercury 7 Venus Flatulence
Jupiter 3 Mars Stomach problems
Venus 6 Mars Accidents, Opposite sex
Saturn 1 Sun
Rahu 9 Jupiter Venomous bites
Ketu has no MKS.
Planets in MKS will affect the significations of houses owned by them adversely during their dasa. These positions are capable of causing death like suffering. When such a death inflictor is in conjunction with or is aspected by malefic or is in debility, great grief is sure to come.
Friendly/ Enemy Planets:
Natural (Naisargika) Relationship: From Mooltrikona sign of a planet the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 12th sign is the sign of a friendly planet and the rest i.e. 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th are signs of enemies. Being friend based on one set and enemy based on another, would make a planet neutral.
Planet Friendly Enemy
Sun Moon, Mars, Jupiter Venus, Saturn
Moon Sun, Mercury
Mars Sun, Moon, Jupiter Mercury
Mercury Sun, Venus Moon
Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars Mercury, Venus
Venus Mercury, Saturn Mars, Jupiter
Saturn Mercury, Venus Sun, Moon, Mars
Placement in Rashis ruled by friendly planets makes the occupying planet stronger whereas in Rashis ruled by enemy planets make the occupying planets weaker. Same is the case when friendly or enemy planets aspect another planet.
Temporary (Tatkalik) Relationship: Planets situated in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th and 12th act as mutual friends. The others act as enemies.
Compound relationship: Planets who happen to be Natural as well as Temporary friends are extreme friends. Similarly enemies become extreme enemies. Neutrality and friendship makes friends whereas neutrality and enmity makes the planets enemy. Other combinations would result into neutral relationship.
Myths associated with Naisargika relationships: Ketu (Ganesha) treats Sun (Shiva) as enemy but Sun treats him as a friend. Story of Ganesha guarding the dwara while his mother was taking bath is well known.
Ketu (Ganesha) is the favorite of Moon (Gauri).
Sun and Saturn do not like each other though Saturn is Sun’s son. The story of Saturn being born to Chaya who lived with Sun w/o his knowledge shows the reason for Sun’s dislike for Saturn and Saturn’s dislike because the father gave him up!
Sandhi: Planets in Bhava Sandhi are incapable of influencing the houses they are placed in. Planets in Bhava Sandhi cause disease and sorrow.
Planets in Rashi Sandhi suffer annihilation especially when the ruling elements of the adjoining signs are inimical e.g, Fire (Aries) and Water (Pisces). Such a sandhi is called Gandanta.
Rashi Sandhi destroys the houses lorded planets in Sandhi. Planets in Rashi Sandhi can cause death. Rashi Sandhi generally affects the people (Physical Bodies) indicated by the lordship of the planet. This need not indicate destruction of other non-living indications of the house.
Aspects by Malefics:
Saturn: It is considered one of the most malefic planets. It is known to teach lessosn regarless of status of the native. Its aspects on various bhavas spoil the significations of the bhava. Its aspect on Rashi can give ailments to body parts signified by the rashi.
Saturn however stands for longevity. “Its aspects can give long life to bhavas, but if it conjoins a house, its longevity is curtailed.” COVA
Mars:
Malefic Enemies in conjunction:
Malefic Enemies in conjunction or 1/7th from each other cause trouble in the house whether they are placed. For example following yogas are dangerous and shall harm the house where they are placed.
Sun-Saturn
Mars-Saturn
Rahu-Sun
Rahu-Mars etc.
Graha Yudha:
If a planet is associated with an inimical planet, planetary war occurs and enmity increases during its dasa period. Planet with higher longitude is victorious even if debilitated.
“Grahayuddha is said to have occurred when planets occupy the same Rasi on identical degrees. The one to the South is said to have lost the war but Venus is said to win whether to the north or South. There are different interpretation of what is meant by North or South.” Chandrashekharji
Dasa Periods:
Dasa means “period”. Ones lifetime is divided into several periods, sub-periods, sub-sub-periods and so on. These are ruled by different planets or rashis. Planets and Rashis give results in their respective periods. Vimsottari is the most popular dasa system based on Nakhshtra occupied by Moon at the time of birth.
Under Vimsottari dasa system dasa periods of different planets are as under:
Sun 6
Moon 10
Mars 7
Rahu 18
Jupiter 16
Saturn 19
Mercury 17
Ketu 7
Venus 20
Some of the planet related general dictums that are relevant to dasas are mentioned below:
1. fructification of good or bad yogas and extent of such fruits are dependent on strength of the planets.
1. sources of strength will indicate the directions from which the results will come. Sources which are weak will show the area of suffering.
2. weak planet will diseases/decay to the house it owns. Especially during the period of planets that cause such weaknesses.
3. planets affect the kendras and trine houses. Therefore during dasa of malefic apart from the significatons of the houses of placement significations of kendras as well as trines will suffer. E.g. if Sturn is placed in 2nd, significations of 2 (house of placement), 5,8,11 (kendras from 2nd) and 6, 10(trine from 2nd) will also suffer. Unless the house is owned by Saturn.
4. significations of houses aspected by the dasa planet will also prosper or suffer depending on benefance or maleficanc of the planet. In the above example 4,8,11 (3,7,10th aspects) will also suffer during the Saturn dasa.
Stones/ Gems: Ruby strengthens Sun, Pearl Moon, Coral Mars, Emerald Mercury, Topaz Jupiter, Diamond Venus and Sapphire Saturn. Wearing of stones or Gems is often recommended to strengthen weak planets that have the potential to give benefic results.
