Ch. 7. Planetary Indications
1. Lord of Week-Day etc. The Sun, the Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn rule the
week-days etc. Whichever planet becomes the Lord of
the first week-day in the month of Aswina in the
year of Aswina, will become the Lord of month and
year.
2-3. The fourth planet counted from the Lord of the
first year rules the second year. Similar counting
of fourth Lords for the subsequent years should be
made to know the Lords thereof. There are 24 Horas
(planetary hours) in each day (from one Sun-rise to
the next). The first Hora is ruled by the Lord of
the week day, while the subsequent ones are ruled by
the Lords of the sixth week-days thereof. Thirty (Savana)
days make one (Savana) month. To know the Lord of
the week-day in particular month, the months past
should be multiplied by 30, increased by one and
divided by 7. The remainder represents the Lord of
the week-day counted from the earlier week-day Lord.
4. A Savana month has 30 days and each month, viz.
Chaitra, Vaisakha etc., commences with the first day
of Bright half and ends with the 30th Thiti (Amavasya).
5-6. Bhava Effects. The good effects relating to a
Bhava can be better reaped, if an enterprise
relating to that Bhava is started in an Ascendant
ruled by the Lord of that Bhava, or, when the Lord
thereof is in an Upachaya House, or on the week-day,
Hora, year, or month ruled by that Bhava Lord. The
good effects will be 25% by year Lord, 50% by month
Lord, 75% by Lord of week and 100% by Hora Lord.
7-13. Planet's Rulerships. The Sun rules snakes,
wool, hills, gold, weapons, poison, fire, medicines,
kings, Aryas (foreigners in general), river banks,
forest, wood and Mantras. The Moon indicates poets,
flowers, eatables, beads, silver, conch, salt,
water, arrow, robes, ornaments, females, Ghi,

destruction, swooning, bile and thieves. Mercury

which bears fruit apparently without any blossoms)
and gold. Jupiter rules auspiciousness, virtue,
physical stoutness, prowess, preceptorship,
deputation, city, state (province), gold, bed,
conveyance, position, grains, residence and sons.
Venus rules diamonds, ornaments, marriage, scents,
friends, wreaths, females, cow dung, diagnosis
(apart from meaning diagnosis also indicates end,
purity, rope to tying up a calf etc.), education,
sexual enjoyment and gold. Saturn is Karaka for
lead, zinc, black metals, inferior grains, dead
relatives, fools, servants, mean women, salable
goods, poor people and self-restraint (apart from
meaning self-restraint also means investing with
sacred thread, which is in vogue to give “second
birth” to Brahmins).
14-15. Planetary Places. The Sun rules Kalinga (a
Coromandel district), the Moon Yavana (Greek,
Mohamedan, or European countries), Venus plain river
banks, Jupiter Sindhu (Indus), Mercury Magadha
(southern part of Bihar), Saturn Saurashtra
(Gujarat), Mars Ujjain and the nodes Dravida country
