Understanding placement of a Graha in a Bhava

-

The results due placement of a Graha in a Bhava can be attributed to various attributes and significations of the Graha.

The results attributed to a Graha placement is largely due to the interactions of the significations of the Graha with the significations of the Bhava where the Graha is placed.

The significations attached to a Grahas are a combination the natural significations as well as some Bhava significations. The Bhava significations which are carried by the Graha are mentioned below.

Bhava signification 1: Lordship in Naisargika Kundali. Each Graha behave in some specific way due to its lordship of certain bhava in the naisargika Kundali. For instance Saturn rules in the 10H and 11H in the naisargika kundali, hence it has the ability to influence the 10H and 11H matters based on its placement, aspects and yogas for all the Lagnas.

Bhava signification 2: Bhava karaka. A Graha becomes governor of certain Bhava based on its natural propensity. For instance Saturn is the governor of the Dusthanas viz. 6H, 8H, 12H. In addition Saturn governs the 10H. Since Saturn is the governor of the 10H and also the naisargika 10L, it is also known as the Karma-karaka and hence has strong influence on the livelihood of the native irrespective of its connection with the 10H in a horoscope.

No doubt why Nadi texts recommends reading professional inclinations from the placement of Saturn in various signs, Bhava and the influences of other Grahas on the Saturn by being placed in the Trine or the 7H from Saturn.

Bhava signification 3: Uccha and Neecha Bhava. Grahas attain uccha and neecha in certain signs in the zodiac. When the naisargika kundali is mapped to the bhava kundali, we can see similar influence of the Grahas when placed in certain bhavas. For instance Saturn attains Uccha in Libra and Neecha Aries. When this is mapped to the bhava kundali, we can say that Saturn attain Uccha in the 7H and neecha in the Lagna. Perhaps that is why Saturn attains Dikbala in the 7H and Marana Karaka Avastha in the Lagna.

Bhava signification 4: Dikbala. There are four major directions in life indicated by the four Kendras i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. These four directions are mapped to the Kendras as Dharma-Lagna, Artha-10H, Kama-7H and Moksha-4H. The Kendras are the controller of all the other Bhavas in the Kundali. Based on the natural significations and propensities of the Grahas they attain Dikbala in one of the four Kendras. Saturn is Vayu Graha and hence it attains Dikbala in the 7H which is Vayu Kendra ruling Kama or Desires. Saturn no doubt is an important Graha in the matters of fulfillment of desires.

Bhava signification 5: Marana Karaka Sthana. There are certain positions where a Graha becomes utterly powerless in giving any good results and on the other hand can cause suffering and death. Saturn attains Marana karaka avastha in the Lagna, Sun in the 12H, Moon in the 8H etc.

Bhava signification 6: Enemy Bhava. Note the signs falling in the 3-6-10-11 and 7 from the Mulatrikona of the Graha. When these signs are mapped to the Bhava Kundali, the graha is harmful to the Bhava significations. For instance Saturn’s Mulatrikona is Aq and he is harmful for Ar, Cn, Sc, Sg and Le. It is specifically harmful for all signs excluding Sg as it is friendly towards Jupiter’s other sign Pi. When the signs are mapped to Bhava Kundali, we arrive at Lg, 4H, 5H, 8H and 9H. Saturn harms the bhava significations of these houses.

On the other hand, Saturn is friendly towards signs of Ve, Me and Pi. Hence Saturn gives good results pertaining to the bhava mapped to the mentioned signs i.e., Ta-2H, Li-7H, Ge-3H, Vi-6H, Pi-12H. Since Saturn rules the naisargika 10H and 11H, Saturn gives good results in these Bhavas as well.

To understand the placement of a Graha in a Bhava, we need to understand impact of the various graha and Bhava significations in isolation and then synthesize to arrive at the overall picture. The Bhava placement of a Graha is additionally colored by 2 important influences i.e., the Rasi where the Graha is placed and the lordship of the Graha as per different Lagnas. For instance, when evaluating Saturn’s influence on the Lagna, we note that there is much negativity involved as Saturn carries with it the energies of the Dusthanas and attain Marana Karaka avastha here. So by default the results of Saturn in the Lagna Bhava is negative. However, what happens when Saturn is placed in own sign, the sign of the Friends, the exaltation signs.

When assessing the results of placement of a Graha in a Bhava, one also needs to look at its various Drstis. The Drsti’s connect two Bhavas i.e., the Bhava from where the aspect is happening as well as the aspected Bhava. So when Saturn is placed in the Lagna, it influences the 3H, 7H and 10H matters as well.

Marriage Compatibility

Marriage compatibility is an important contribution of Jyotish to the world as only it can foresee any problems in the married life of a couple and can precisely determine which area shall the problem root from. This is done with kuta matching as enumerated by Harihara in his immortal classic Prasna Marga. However, it is not possible to match all the kutas and here we must appreciate that nothing in this world is perfect and we need to compromise at various places. Compromises may be made in various kutas, however it should not be made in the five important kutas namely vasya, mahendra, yoni, Janma Rasi and lord of the Janma Rasi. There are three more kutas, which are to be considered very important, viz., gana, dina and stree-deergha. Besides this the Brahmins should also consider Gotra Kuta. There are two kinds of Kutas, one which contribute points towards a 36 point scheme and the others that do not. The Kutas which contribute to the 36 point schemes are Nadi, Rasi, Gana, Graha Mait

Progeny in Jyotish II: Number & sex of children

-
Number of children 1. The number of children can be found out by counting the Navamsa gained by the 5th lord. For example, the 5th lord is placed in Virgo Rasi and Gemini Navamsa. Counting from Gemini (Navamsa) to Virgo Rasi [Virgo (6) - Gemini (3) = 3], we have four signs, i.e., the 5th lord has to gain three Navamsas to reach Virgo or upto three children should be anticipated (COVA- Page 190). This is however a crude method can can be used with care. Max. no. of child = Rasi sign – Navamsa Sign Pt. Rath says that, for this method to work, the 5th lord should be placed with the Jupiter (Karaka for Navamsa). However, from an illustration given in Page 200 of COVA, we see that this is not a necessary condition. Here Mars is not associated or aspected by Jupiter, but the Lagna is aspected by Jupiter from the 7th, through Rasi and Graha Drsti both. Here we might conclude that for this method to work, Jupiter should be strongly placed in the horoscope and influence the factors of progeny.

Badhakasthana & Badhakesh

Introduction In Prasna Marga, Harihara has given the analysis of an horsocope based on Badhaka point of view. He says that for all movable signs, the 11th house therefrom is the badhaka sthana, for all fixed signs, the 9th therefrom are their badhakasthana and for all the dual signs, the 7th therefrom are their badkasthanas. Thus for the 12 signs of the zodiac, the badhakasthanas are: In this method, the quadrants of the house of harm can also be harmful. This is based on the principle of Paraspara Karaka i.e. doing each other’s job when the planets/signs are placed in mutual quadrants. Paraspara Karaka means, you pat my back and I shall pat yours or you kick my back and I shall kick yours. The patting or kicking is dependent on the natural relationship of the planets under consideration. Thus if natural enemies are placed in the quadrants, they shall fight and when natural friends are placed in such position, they shall work with each other in harmony. From the placement
