His body and limbs will be in proportion with the Ascending sign and other Signs which are stated to form the head and various parts of the body of the Kalapurs ha.

2. Should the lord of the Ascendant occupy an Angle or a Trine with clear rays, i.e., the Sun has not eclipsed them, and Be in exaltation or own house, The lord of the 8th house is in a house other than an Angle and The Ascendant is occupied by a benefic, The native will be blessed with long life and wealth; respected, endowed with go od qualities, recognized by the ruler, fortunate, possessing beautiful body part s and well built physique, pious and a family man.

3. Should the lord of the Ascendant be well associated, i.e. with a benefic or f riend, the native will live in a good village or with noble associates, and If these associated planets are powerful, he will enjoy the patronage of a power ful person/government officials. When the said planet (Ascendant lord) is in his exaltation, the native himself w ill become a king.

4. Should the planet occupy his own house, the native will live in his own birth place. When the planet occupies a moveable sign, the native will always be travelling. If he is in a fixed sign, the native will be static at one place. The effect will be mixed, if this planet is in a dual sign.

5. If in a nativity the lord of the Ascendant has brilliant rays, the concerned native becomes famous. When the lord of lagna is well placed, the native will be happy and prosperous.

If the 2nd house lord is associated with Saturn, the native is hardly educated a nd he is of a low-intellect. When the planet associated (with the lord of the 2nd) is Jupiter, the native bec omes proficient in the Sacred lore and Code of law; If it is Mercury, he is good at politics; If Venus, he is adept in amorous topics; If it is the Moon, he possesses some knowledge of the arts; If Mars, he is clever in works requiring hard labour but is a backbiter; If Rahu, his speech is indistinct; If Ketu, he stammers and conceals facts.

17. When the 7th house has good connection with a benefic either by association or aspect and its lord is in a powerful position, the wife of the person concern ed will be a virtuous lady and will live happily with her husband, have male chi ldren also and endowed with all noble qualities.

18. If in a nativity the lord of the 8th house occupies any other house than in Angles and is also weaker than the lord of the Ascendant, the native is said to live for a long time and be free from anxieties, difficulties and miseries of li fe.

When Saturn as the lord of 9th house is placed in a movable sign and is not aspe cted by benefic and the Sun occupies an evil house, the native lives under the c are of a foster father. If the 9th house or its lord is in a moveable sign, associated with or aspected by Saturn, and if the lord of the 12th house is powerful, the native born shall be adopt by some one else. These are two combinations, one with 9th house and ot her with lord of 9th house.

21. Acquisition- The House owned by the planet who is in conjunction with the lo rd of the 11th house and The House occupied by the lord of the 11th, and

The planets posited in the 11th house there will be acquisition of articles sign ified or connected with these House.

22. Loss- The House owned by the planet, posted in the 12th House if any and The House occupied by the lord of the 12th, The loss of articles or significations connected with these two House should be predicted.

23. Y- Realization of the effects of a House should be predicted: 1. If the lord of the Ascendant while transiting arrives at a sign which falls i n Trine to the sign or navamsa occupied by the lord of the House under considera tion; or 2. When the lord of lagna transits to the House itself; or 3. When the lord of the House transits a sign which is triangular to the sign or Amsa occupied by the lord of the Ascendant; or 4. When the lord of house transits to the Ascendant itself or lord of lagna; or 5. When the two lords that of the House and the Ascendant conjoin or aspect each other during transit.

The same event may also be predicted when the Karaka of the House under consider ation comes during transit in conjunction with the lord of the Ascendant or The lord of the House occupied by the Moon.

24. When Jupiter during his transit comes to a point which is trine to the sign and navamsa occupied by the lord of the House, the acquisition of the good effec ts of the House may be anticipated.

Whenever the lord of the Ascendant and that of the 6th house conjoin during thei r transit, the native s enemy will feel weaker and could be easily subdued, provid ed the lord of the 6th is not as strong as that of the Ascendant, otherwise, the result will be just the opposite.

25. Should there be enmity between the lord of the House and that of the Ascenda nt due to natural or temporal reasons, or They being situated in the 6th and 8th places with respect to each other, envy, rivalry or jealousy will irritate the native with the person indicated by the Ho use during the transit of these planets.

26. But should there be friendship, (natural or temporal), between the two plane ts, under consideration, new friendship/relationship being formed may be predict ed, when the planets also get associated in their transit. Whenever the lord of the Ascendant during its transit conjoins the lord of any p articular House under examination, the fruitful effect of the House should be ex pected provided the lord of the House is strong. Otherwise the result will be contrary. Similar reading may also be made by taking the Moon sign as Ascendant.
