Ch. 34. Different Houses
and Worldly Affairs
1-7. EFFECTS OF SEVERAL PLANETS ASPECTING THE
ASCENDANT. If the Sun aspects the Ascendant, the
native will be valorous, will be irascible with
females, be cruel, will gain wealth from paternal
side and will serve the king.
If the Moon aspects the Ascendant, he will be under
the control of women, fortunate, be very courteous,
be very wealthy, softly disposed and will gain by
dealing in water-born articles.
If Mars lends his aspect to the Ascendant, one will
be fond of valorous acts and battles, irascible,
will have severed relationship, be very righteous
and will have a long penis.
Should Mercury aspect the Ascendant, the native will
have rich knowledge of arts and will thereby gain
and be quite intelligent, famous and honourable.
If Jupiter be the aspecting planet with reference to
the Ascendant one will be interested in religious
observations, be honoured by the king, be famous and
will be endowed with (the company of) virtuous
people, elders and guests.
Venus aspecting the Ascendant denotes, that he will
be addicted to many prostitutes, be youthful, will
have happiness of wealth and pleasure and will be
beautiful in appearance.
If Saturn aspects the Ascendant one will be troubled
by heavy loads, travels and diseases, be irascible,
will be attached to aged women (i.e. will be fond of
seeking union with aged females), be devoid of
happiness, be dirty and foolish.
8. GENERAL ASPECTS TO ASCENDANT. If a planet
(whether natural benefic, or natural malefic)
aspects the Ascendant identical with its own Sign,
that confers happiness and wealth, apart from close
relationship with the king. If the Ascendant is not
owned by the aspecting planet, a benefic then
confers auspicious effects and a malefic evil
results.
9. UNASPECTED ASCENDANT. Should the ascending Sign
be not in aspect to even one planet, the native will
be devoid of (other) qualities and will acquire
exclusive qualities of the Sign concerned.
10-11. SPECIAL EFFECTS. If two, or more planets
aspect the Ascendant, the native acquires happiness
and wealth. Even one benefic aspecting the Ascendant
is auspicious, while a malefic so aspecting is
inauspicious. If the Ascendant is aspected by all
the planets one rules over the earth. Should all the
planets be endowed with strength, he will enjoy all
kinds of happiness, be free from fear and be
long-lived.
12. PLANETS CONJUNCT IN THE ASCENDANT. If three
planets are together in the Ascendant, the native
will be devoid of miseries and will lord over the
earth. But, if these are (exclusively) malefics, he
will be distressed due to fear, grief etc., will eat
much and will be disregarded by one and all.
13. ADHI YOGA FROM ASCENDANT. If benefics
exclusively occupy the 6th, 7th and 8th, without the
company of malefics, Lagnadhi Yoga is caused. This
Yoga confers ministership, leadership over Army (justiceship)
and kingship, lordship over many women, long life,
freedom from diseases and miseries, possession of
virtues and happiness. So say Yavana kings.
14. A planet in own Sign, or in exaltation/friendly
Sign, according to sages, confers its effects fully.
If it is in fall, or is inimically placed, it is
incapable of giving the results (due to the above
mentioned Yoga).
15-20. PRINCIPLES RELATED TO THE 2ND HOUSE. If Mars,
Saturn and the Sun occupy the 2nd House, the
native's wealth is destroyed.
If weak Moon aspects the 2nd House, such effects are
more pronounced.
Mars and the Sun in the 2nd cause afflictions to
skin apart from causing poverty.
If Saturn, posited alone in this House, is aspected
by Mercury, he will be greatly rich.
Even, if the Sun is posited in the 2nd House in
aspect to Saturn, without aspect of others,
pennilessness will come to pass.
Benefics in the 2nd House cause advent of money in
many ways.
But, if Jupiter posited in the 2nd House remains
under Mercury's aspect, or Mercury so posited in the
2nd House in aspect to the Moon, the entire wealth
earned by the native will be deprived.
Weak Moon in the 2nd House in Mercury's aspect
denotes, that even the ancestral property will be
destroyed; not only this, other sources of income
will also be hindered.
Should the 2nd House [from the] Moon be aspected by
Venus, plenty of wealth will be earned. Same is the
result by aspect of another benefic (i.e. Jupiter).
21-24. PRINCIPLES RELATED TO THE 3rd HOUSE. When the
3rd House is owned by a malefic and is occupied by a
malefic, the co-born are destroyed. Conversely, a
benefic's Sign being the 3rd and occupation of
benefics therein will cause happiness thereof. Now
explained below is the method to ascertain the
number of co-born. The number of Navansas past in
the 3rd House denotes the number of brothers
following the native. If other planets aspect the
3rd House, the said number (caused by Navansas)
stands increased. Saturn placed in the 3rd in aspect
to Mars causes destruction of co-born. But Venus in
the 3rd and in aspect to Jupiter increases happiness
thereof. Mercury placed in the 3rd House, in aspect
to Mars (or in aspect to the Sun, as some texts read
‘Bhaskara Drishtah' instead of ‘Angaraka Drishtah'),
the native's friends are destroyed. Rest (relating
to the 4th House) may be understood from Bhavadhyaya
(Ch. 30).
25-26. ABOUT THE 5th HOUSE. If the 5th House
contains a benefic, or is aspected by a benefic, or
be a benefic's Rasi, the native will surely beget
children. If it is different, he will not obtain
progeny. If the 5th House counted from the Moon, or
the Ascendant, the stronger prevailing, has at least
one Jupiter's division in the various Varga
calculations, or has a benefic's Rasi in it and is
aspected by a benefic, the native will have
legitimate issue.
27. NUMBER OF CHILDREN. If the Navansa of the 5th
falls in a benefic's Rasi the number of children
equals the number of Navansas past in the 5th House.
The aspect of a benefic on the 5th Bhava doubles the
number, while malefic Rasi, as 5th House Navansa and
the said House receiving a malefic's aspect confers
progeny with difficulty.
28. AUTHORIZING OTHER KINSMAN TO RAISE PROGENY FOR
THE NATIVE. If the 5th House falls in the divisions
(like Rasi, Navansa, drekkana etc.) of Saturn and be
with Mercury's aspect, but without that of
Jupiter/Mars/Sun, the native obtains progeny by
authorizing his kinsman to raise the same for him
from his (the native's) wife. Similar result
prevails, if Mercury's Rasi be in the 5th House
containing Mercury in it and is in aspect to Saturn,
but without the aspect of the others, as cited
above.
29. ADOPTED OR BOUGHT PROGENY. If the 5th House
belongs to Saturn and be occupied by Saturn himself
with the aspect of the Moon, one procures a child by
adoption, or by an act of purchase. Identical effect
follows the position of Mercury in the 5th House
owned by him receiving the Moon's aspect.
30. ADOPTION SANS CONSENT. Should the 5th House
contain Saturn unaspected by others and fall in a
Sapthamsa owned by Mars, the native will adopt a
grown up child without the consent of its natural
parents.
31-32. BASE CHILDREN. If the 5th House contains the
Sun and falls in the divisions of Saturn receiving
the aspect of Mars, the children so obtained will be
abject. Should the Moon be in the 5th House and
receive exclusively Saturn's aspect, while the 5th
House falls in a Navansa of Mars, even then the
progeny will be foolish and base.
33. If the 5th House is occupied by Mars falling in
many of Saturn's divisions and be in aspect to the
Sun, one will obtain a son, that is adopted by a
stranger after its being cast off by its original
parents, so says sage Karuna.
34. ISSUE BY A REMARRIED WIDOW. Should the 5th House
fall in Saturn's Vargas and contain both the Moon
and Saturn therein, in aspect to both the Sun and
Venus, progeny will be begotten by a widow given to
the native in remarriage.
35. PROGENY BY A VIRGIN. Should the Moon be in the
7th along with the Sun, or the Moon being in the 5th
in aspect to, or in the company of the Sun, one will
obtain issue through an unmarried girl.
36. PROGENY BY A WOMAN PREGNANT AT MARRIAGE. If the
5th House falls in the divisions of the Luminaries
and contains the Moon and the Sun in aspect to Venus
only, one will have progeny by a woman, who will
already be pregnant at the time of marriage.
37. ISSUELESSNESS. If the 5th House falls in a
malefic's Sign and be occupied by strong malefics
without benefic's aspect, the native will be
childless.
38. PROGENY BY A FEMALE SLAVE. If the 5th House be
in a Navansa of Venus and be aspected by Venus, one
will beget progeny by a female servant. Some
scholars opine, that even, if the Moon's Navansa and
the Moon so come in the picture, the said effects
will come to pass.
39. SONS AND DAUGHTERS. When the 5th House has
exclusively the divisions of the Moon and Venus and
be with aspects of Venus and the Moon alone, or be
occupied by these two alone, or, when the said House
has the divisions of only even Signs, the native
will beget only female children. In a contrary
situation, (i.e. 5th House falling in divisions of
odd Signs only and be excluded from the occupation,
or aspect of Venus and the Moon but others), there
will be birth of only male children.
40. CHILDLESSNESS. When the Moon occupies the 10th
House, Venus is in the 7th and malefics are in the
4th, the native's dynasty does not descend any
further.
41. LOSS OF CHILDREN. Should Mars be in the 5th, the
children of the native will pass away, as they are
born. However, if Jupiter, or Venus lend aspect to
the said position, the loss relates only to the
first child. If all planets aspect (the said Mars),
then there is no loss at all of children.
42. SPECIAL EFFECTS. Should the 5th House be
occupied exclusively by malefics, the native will be
devoid of wealth, own men and happiness. If Mars is
in the 5th House, he will be distressed (or
deformed). Saturn so posited denotes sickness. The
occupations of Mercury, Jupiter, or Venus will
confer abundant happiness and wealth.
43-44. ENEMIES. If the 6th House is aspected by
Saturn and occupied by Mars, the native will have
fear from enemies. Occupation, or aspect of benefics
will keep one free from such fear. The number of
enemies (causing trouble) will correspond to the
number of planets posited in the 6th House. Rest of
the related matters may be understood from the
previous pages, (Ch. 30).
45 ABOUT THE 7th HOUSE. If Jupiter, Moon, Venus and
Mercury be in the 7th, in any manner (i.e. one of
them, two, three, or all of them in the 7th), or
other divisions falling in the 7th House, or, if the
7th House be in aspect to these, one will procure a
wife corresponding to the planet/s and Rasi/s in
question.
46. Should the 7th House contain malefics, or fall
in malefic planets' divisions, the wife of the
native will be destroyed (i.e. adversely affected).
These results can be deduced from the Ascendant and
the Moon, the stronger of them having more
significance. If the Moon be in the 7th (from the
Ascendant) along with Saturn, the native will marry
a widow.
47. The number of wives will correspond to the
number of heavenly bodies aspecting the 7th, or the
Navansas past in the 7th House. There will be a
single wife, if Leo, Aries, or Scorpio rise in
Navansa, or, if Mercury and Jupiter join together in
the 7th House.
48. If the 7th House has many divisions of Venus and
the Moon, or is occupied by these two, there will be
plurality of wives. Specially Venus in the 7th will
cause such an effect.
49. Jupiter and Venus related to the 7th House will
confer a bride of the same caste, while the Sun,
Mars, Saturn and the Moon denote a female belonging
to a mean order. As per Ketumalacharya, Venus and
Moon related to the 7th House will cause
relationship with whores.
50-51. Mars in the 7th House will make one go devoid
of wife. If he is, while so posited in aspect to
only Saturn, the wife will certainly pass away.
Should Mars and Venus be together in the 7th, or
5th, or 9th, the native will beget a languid, or
deformed wife.
52. It is the unanimous opinion of all the sages,
that, if the Moon and the Sun are, respectively, in
the 12th and the 6th, both the native and his wife
will be one-eyed.
53. If Saturn occupies the Ascendant, while Venus is
in the 7th identical with Ganda Rasi and the 5th is
bereft to beneficial aspect, the person acquires a
barren wife.
54-55. One will be devoid of a wife and an issue, if
malefics occupy the Ascendant, 12th and 7th, while
decreasing Moon is in the 5th. Both the native and
his wife will be immoral, if the 7th House falls in
the various divisions of Saturn and Mars, while
Venus is posited in the 7th in aspect to Mars and
Saturn.
56. When the 7th House is occupied by Mercury and
Venus, the native will be bereft of both wife and
progeny. If however this combination receives the
aspect of a benefic, there will be obtainment of a
wife at an advanced age.
57. Should the Moon, along with even one of Mercury,
Jupiter and Venus, be in the 7th, the native will be
opulent.
58. ABOUT THE 11TH HOUSE. The native will gain
through kings, wars, thieves, forests, quadrupeds
etc., if the Sun is placed in the 11th House, or, if
the 11th House is aspected, or owned by the Sun.
59. Should the Moon be in the 11th House, or her
division so related to the 11th House the native
will gain through females and through sales of
elephants. If the Moon is declining, these are not
much, but an increasing Moon increases these gains
greatly.
60. Mars, or his divisions related to the 11th
House, as above denotes gains through gold, coral,
ornaments, ruby, money, valour, coming and going
(i.e. travels), fire and weapons.
61. Should Mercury, or his divisions be related to
the 11th, as above, the native will gain by writing,
arts, literature and arguments.
62. Jupiter, or his divisions so related to the 11th
House indicates gains through headship of a city,
royal mercy, Sacrifices (religious), meritorious
acts, gold and horses.
63. When the planet Venus, or his divisions are so
connected with the 11th House, one will gain through
connections with prostitutes, travels, pearls and
silver.
64. Saturn, or his divisions so connected with the
11th House indicates gains through towns and
villages, acts of lasting nature, iron, donkeys and
buffaloes.
65. The effects attributed above stand increased, if
benefics aspect the 11th House, will decrease by
malefic influence and will remain mixed with the
interference of both benefics and malefics.
66. If the 11th House is aspected by (or associated
with) all the planets, advent of wealth will be in
several ways. The strongest of those will have the
highest influence.
67. A planet in it's own Sign, or in a friendly Sign
will give half of the effects attributed. These
effects are full, if it is in its exaltation Sign,
very meager, if it is combust and just one fourth,
if inimically placed.
68. The effects relating to the 11th House, as
mentioned above will be experienced right from
birth, according to Yavanas. But according Lokaksha
(a preceptor by that name), kings and heads of zones
stand to enjoy abundant gains (as against a common
man).
69-70. ABOUT THE 12th HOUSE. If the Sun, or weak
Moon is placed in the 12th, the native's wealth will
be lost to the king. Mars posited in the 12th in
aspect to Mercury, will cause losses in several ways
Jupiter, the Moon (with increasing rays) and Venus
in the 12th will cause growth of wealth, provided
there is no aspect from Mars on them. Rest may be
understood from the previous portion (Ch. 30).
71. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. Even a person born in
regal scion will become an artisan, if the Ascendant
in Mercury's decanate receives the aspect of the
Moon from an Angle.
72. Should Venus be in the 12th House in Virgo
identical with Saturn's Navansa, while the
Luminaries are in the 7th in aspect to Saturn, the
native's mother though belonging to a noble race
will become a slave.
73. Should Saturn occupy the 2nd House counted from
the Sun, while the Moon and Mars, respectively, are
in the 10th cusp and 7th House with reference to the
Ascendant, the native will always be distressed.
74. The native will suffer from pulmonary and
spleenary disorders apart from tuberculosis, if the
Moon is hemmed between malefics, as Saturn occupies
the 7th House.
75. Should there be an exchange between the Sun and
the Moon in the Navansa, the native will suffer from
phlegmatic disorders. Should the Sun and the Moon be
in one Rasi having identical longitudes, the native
will be emaciated at all times.
76. Should the 8th, 2nd, 6th and the 12th be,
respectively, occupied by the Sun, Moon, Mars and
Saturn, the native will lose his eyes due to the
affliction caused by the strongest of the tour.
77. If malefics occupy the 6th, 11th, 3rd and 5th,
the native will suffer from ear defects, provided
there are no aspects from benefic planets. Malefics
in the 7th unaspected by benefics will produce
dental afflictions.
78. There will be diseases of the mind, if Saturn
occupies the Ascendant, while Mars is in the 5th, or
the 9th. Alternatively, Saturn, while being in the
Ascendant should be conjunct decreasing Moon to
cause the said effects.
Thus ends the 34th Ch. entitled “DIFFERENT HOUSES
AND WORLDLY AFFAIRS” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
