Ch. 18. Effects of Yuvati Bhava

1. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, detailing the effects of the 7^th Bhava. If Yuvati Lord is in his own Rashi, or in exaltation, one will derive full happiness through his wife (and marriage).

2. SICK WIFE. Should Yuvati Lord be in Ari, 8^th, or Vyaya, the wife will be sickly. This however does not apply to own Bhava, or exaltation placement, as above.

3. Excessive·Libidinousness/Death·of·Wife. If Śukr is in Yuvati, the native will be exceedingly libidinous. If Śukr yuti a malefic in any Bhava, it will cause loss of wife.

4-5. THE 7^TH LORD. Should Yuvati Lord be endowed with strength and be yuti with, or be drishtied by a benefic, the native will be wealthy, honourable, happy and fortunate. Conversely, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or is combust, or is in an enemy’s Rashi, one will acquire sick wives and many wives.

6. PLURALITY OF WIVES. If Yuvati Lord is in a Rashi of Śani, or of Śukr and be drishtied by a benefic, there will be many wives. Should Yuvati Lord be particularly in exaltation, the same effects will come to pass.

7-8½. MlSCELLANEOUS MATTERS. The native will befriend barren females, if Sūrya is in Yuvati. Candr therein will cause association with such female, as corresponding to the Rashi, becoming Yuvati. Mangal, placed in Yuvati, will denote association with marriageable girls (those with menses), or with barren females. Budh indicates harlots, mean females and females, belonging to traders’ community. Wife of a Brahmin, or a pregnant female will be in the native’s association, if Guru is in Yuvati. Base females and females, having attained their courses, are denoted by Śani, Rahu/Ketu in Yuvati.

8-9½. Mangal denotes a female with attractive breasts. Śani indicates sick and weak spouse. Guru will bring a spouse with hard and prominent breasts. Śukr will bring one with bulky and excellent breasts.

10-13½. Malefics in Vyaya and 7^th, while decreasing Candr is in Putr denote, that the native will be controlled by spouse, who will be inimical to the race (or family). If Yuvati Bhava is occupied, or owned by Śani/Mangal, the native will beget a harlot, as his spouse, or he will be attached to other illegally. Should Śukr be in a Navamsa of Mangal, or in a Rasi of Mangal, or receive a Drishti from, or be yuti with Mangal, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the female. If Śukr is so related to Śani, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the male.

14-15. WORTHY SPOUSE. The native will beget a spouse endowed with (the seven principal) virtues, who will expand his dynasty by sons and grandsons, if the 7^th Lord is exalted, while Yuvati is occupied by strong Lagna Lord and a benefic.

16. EVILS TO SPOUSE. If Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is yuti with a malefic the native’s wife will incur evils, especially, if Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is bereft of strength.

17. LOSS OF SPOUSE. If Yuvati Lord is devoid of strength and is relegated to Ari, 8^th, or Vyaya, or, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, the native’s wife will be destroyed (i.e. she will die early).

18. LACK OF CONJUGAL FELICITY. If Candr is in Yuvati, as Yuvati Lord is in Vyaya and the Karaka (indicator Śukr) is bereft of strength, the native will not be endowed with marital happiness.

19-21. PLURALlIY OF WIVES. One will have two wives, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or in a malefic Rashi along with a malefic, while Yuvati Bhava, or the 7^th Navamsa belong to a eunuch planet. If Mangal and Śukr are in Yuvati, or, if Śani is Yuvati, while the Lord of Lagn is in Randhr, the native will have 3 wives. There will be many wives, if Śukr is in a Dual Rashi, while its Lord is in exaltation, as Yuvati Lord is endowed with strength.

22. TIME OF MARRIAGE (upto Sloka 34). If Yuvati Lord is in a benefic’s Bhava (or in Dharm, as Subha Rashi so means), while Śukr is exalted, or is in own Rashi, the native will marry at the age of 5, or 9.

23. If Sūrya is in Yuvati, while his dispositor is yuti with Śukr, there will be marriage at 7^th, or 11^th year of age.

24. Śukr in Dhan, while Yuvati Lord is in Labh will give marriage at the age of 10, or 16.

25. Marriage will take place during the 11^th year, if Śukr is in an angle from Lagn, while Lagn Lord is in Makar, or Kumbh.

26. The native will marry at 12, or l9, if Śukr is in an angle from the Lagna, while Śani is in Yuvati counted from Śukr.

27. Should Śukr be in Yuvati from Candr, while Śani is in Yuvati from Śukr, marriage will be in the 18^th year.

28. Marriage will be in the 15^th year, if Dhan Lord is in Labh, while Lagn Lord is in Karm.

29. An exchange between the Lords of Dhan and Labh will bring marriage 13 years after birth.

30. Ones 22^nd/27^th year will confer marriage, if Śukr is in Yuvati from the 8^th Bhava (i.e. Dhan from Lagna), while his dispositor is yuti with Mangal.

31. Should Yuvati Lord be in Vyaya, while the natal Lord is in Yuvati in Navamsa, marriage will be in 23^rd/26^th year of age.

32. Either the 25^th year, or the 33^rd year will bring marriage, if Randhr Lord is in Yuvati, as Śukr is in Navamsa Lagna.

33. Should Śukr be in Dharm from Dharm (i.e. in Putr Bhava), while Rahu is in one of the said Bhavas (i.e. in Putr/Dharm), marriage will take place during 31^st, or 33^rd year.

34. The native will marry at 30, or 27, if Śukr is in Lagn, while the 7^th Lord is in Yuvati itself.

35-39. TIMING OF WIFE’S DEATH. Loss of wife will occur in the 18^th year, or 33^rd year of age of the native, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, while Śukr is in Randhr. One will lose his spouse in his 19^th year, if Yuvati Lord is in the 8^th, while Vyaya Lord is in Yuvati. The native’s wife will die within three days of marriage due to snake bite, if the native has Rahu in Dhan and Mangal in Yuvati. If Śukr is in Randhr, while his dispositor is in a Rashi of Śani, death of wife will take place during the native’s 12^th, or 21^st year of age. Should the ascendat Lord be in his Rashi of debilitation, as Dhan Lord is in Randhr, loss of wife will occur in the 13^th year of age.

40-41. THREE MARRIAGES. Should Candr be in Yuvati from Śukr, while Budh is in Yuvati from Candr and Randhr Lord is in Putr (from the Lagna), there will be marriage in Karm year followed by another in the 22^nd year and yet another in the 33^rd year.

42. DEATH OF WlFE. lf Ari, 7^th and 8^th are in their order occupied by Mangal, Rahu and Śani, the native’s wife will not live (long).
