While some say, that a debilitated Grah in
retrograde motion is equal to its being in
exaltation, our author does not subscribe to such
view, as is evident from this Sloka.
Sukra has strength, if he occupies Sahaj, Ari, or
Vyaya (12th house) Bhava form Lagna. He is also
strong, when in retrograde motion, when ahead of
Surya, during the portion of the day, that follows
mid-day, when in exaltation Rasi and in the north of
Grahas. Sukra has no strength in the initial portion
of a Rasi, but has it in the middle, while at the
end of a Rasi, he is only of medium strength. He is
also strong in the company of Chandra, or, when
victorious in war between Grahas.
Notes: Sukra is strong in his exaltation Rasi, his
own Vargas, on Friday, in the middle of a Rasi, in
Ari, Vyaya, Sahaj, Matru (4th house) Bhava, in the
last third part of day time, when victorious in war,
whileyuti with Chandra, in retrograde motion and,
while ahead of Surya. (Jataka Parijata Ch. II).
Sani is strong during the dark fortnight and also
from sunset to sunrise. He has strength, when in
retrograde motion, also, when in Makara, Kumbha,
Tula and in southerly course. Similar is the case
with Sani in the rising Rasi, in his slow movement
and, when successful in war between Grahas. He is
weak in the in first portion of a Rasi, moderately
strong in the middle portion and strong at the end.
But, some say he is strong in all places.
Notes: According to Jataka Parijata Ch. II, Sani is
strong in Tula, his own Rasi, in Kalatra (7th house)
Bhava, in southerly course, in own Dreshkan, on
Saturday, in the end of a Rasi, in war between
Grahas, in the dark half and in retrograde motion.
Rahu is said to be strong, when posited in Mesha,
Vushabha, Karkataka, Vruchika, or Kumbha, or, when
yuti with Surya, or Chandra, during Parivesh and at
the end of a Rasi i. e., when he starts his journey
in a Rasi).
Notes: Rahu is strong in Mesha, Kanya, Vushabha,
Vruchika and Kumbha. He is also strong in Karma
(10th house)Bhava. (Jataka Parijata Ch. II)
Ketu has strength in the second portion of Dhanu. He
is also strong in Meena, Kanya and Vushabha and in
night, or, when a rainbow, or a meteor is noticed.
Notes: Ketu is strong in Kanya, Meena, Vushabha and
Dhanu and, when a rainbow, or a meteor is noticed (Jatak
Parijata).
The Rasis Mesha, Shimha, Dhanu and Meena give
strength to Surya, if they happen to rise, or be on
the meridian simultaneously. In other Bhavas, he is
weak.
Notes: Should Surya be in the said Bhavas, which
happen to be Lagna, or Karma (10th house)Bhava, he
is strong. In other Bhavas, as Lagna, or Karma (10th
house)Bhava, he is not so good.
Slokas 20 to 29 deal with the strength of the Grahas
ih the various Rasis, which should simultaneously be
that particular Bhava in the Kundali.
Chandra is strong, if she is in Midhuna, Kanya, or
Dhanu coinciding with Lagna. She is strong in
Kalatra (7th house) Bhava, if it is Meena, or the
first half of Dhanu. If she is in Vushabha, or in
the latter half of Dhanu, as Kalatra (7th house)
Bhava, or Karma (10th house)Bhava, as the case may
be, she is strong. Similarly, when in Karkataka, or
in Midhuna, as Matru (4th house) Bhava, she has
strength.
Notes: For Kanya Lagna, Chandra in Kalatra (7th
house) Bhava in Meena, or for Vruchika Lagna in
Vushabha in Kalatra (7th house) Bhava, for Midhuna
Lagna, in Kalatra (7th house) Bhava in the first
half of Dhanu, for Meena in Matru (4th house) Bhava
in Karkataka, is said to possess strength.
